Begin Again : Chapter 18- Misery Business (Part 2)

"NEVER INSULT A WOMAN'S CLOTHES!!" Tophet said, raising her sword.

"Honestly lady, Don't think you're the only one with a sword
Atlas said laughing, also pulling out a sword.

The metal blades clanged to together sending a massive screech through the air.

"AHH!!! Your.... Your swords look almost the same.... How's that possible!!... And where did you keep them!!" Leefah shouted, cowering in fear.

"I'll compliment you on your fighting skills Tophet.... Truly an amazing secret.... Got any others we should know about?"

"I don't know what you mean...." she replied, fending off the sharp blade of Atlas' sword.

"Isn't it obvious..... I would have though Leefah would notice it by now..." Atlas said tauntingly.

"Oh... you mean...."

"Indeed....."

"I don't get it... What's she hiding?" asked Leefah cluelessly.

"Tophet! Over here now!"

Tophet jumped over and protected Joker, "You suck I must say! Nearly getting me away from my love!"

"Atlas... What do we do?... You guys are basically even and I can't fight.... It's two on one here!"

"You're orders were for me to find the ones responsible... I'm simply going on my own instincts as I have completed what you asked"

Joker began acting crazy again. "Tophet, take care of her little friend. I'll handle the girl myself..."

"Yes My love...."

Tophet drew her sword, "It's over for you! I've mastered swordsmanship!"

"Oh god! Atlas!" Leefah said, becoming scared.

"Leefah, Calm down" Atlas said, glancing at the cemetery gate.

But in that instance, Tophet lunged and tried to stab him.

Atlas knocked her back a little bit, "Dangit!"

"What were you looking at..." Leefah asked.

"It's over for you!" Tophet slashed at Atlas, causing his arm to numb.

She raised her sword again.

Suddenly a light flashed before them, stunning everyone at the cemetery.

Chasity gathered all the light she could, then fired it in a straight beam, sending Tophet flying backwards onto the ground.

"Cha.... CHASITY!!!" Leefah said smiling.

"Took you long enough, fly"

"Oh shut up" Chasity replied bitterly.

"What... The.....Hell.... TOPHET I THOUGHT YOU KILLED HER!" shouted Joker.

Tophet held up her sword, having it take most of the blow for her.

She regained her footing and stood up.

"I stabbed the stupid fly! Why is she alive! It even went through her stomach and she threw up blood and died and everything! Truly a WHAT THE HELL moment!"

"And you say my attacks suck...."

"Look Leefah..." Chasity began.

"CHASITY! SPIRIT!" shouted Leefah, interrupting her.

"You had me so worried... Why would you do that... How did you do that...."

"Oh god, she's crying again...."

"I'll explain later, meanwhile, this Tophet girl can explain herself aswell..."

"Explain?...."

Joker sighs, "Clearly the only clueless one about your little secret is the weakling girl..."

"Yeah... I don't pick the brightest of masters to serve sometimes... but for her I can make that exception..."

"Hah! What's in it for you! Her soul can't be that great..."

"That's enough Tophet, I'll handle her from here..."

Leefah looked to Atlas worriedly, "What's happening..."

"I'm not sure..." Atlas answered.

"You seriously aren't going to try THAT move again are you..."

"Why you always gotta hate on me...."

Joker began to wave his hands together.

"Time for the disappearing act!!" he shouted.

"What?..."

"He's gone... AND SO IS LEEFAH!"

Tophet laughed, "Of course, he took her away to his secret room...."

"Doubt you'll find it..."

"Atlas, go find her..."

"You aren't my master..."

"I know... I just like to boss you around...."

Tophet smiled evilly.

Chasity spread her wings, "Let me finish her off..."

Atlas began to run off, "Fine, but you won't win...."

"Of course she won't you idiot! I was ordered to win"

"So, I was right.... It is true..."

"Fill me in fly, the audience is probably confused by now...."

"You're a demon...." Chasity, said smiling. Her dried blood on her mouth cracked at the movement.

"Wow, so you both were right... How ever did you find out..."

"Fairies and Demons have a history of hating each other... we're the real form for angels you could say... But you called me a fly, which instantly gave it away... other than your sword of course..."

"So you can spot a Death Scythe when you see one... Interesting.... They aren't as great as the famous grim reaper's but... they work perfectly for swatting flies like you..." Tophet replied devilishly drawing her sword.

"Wow, big words from such a weak demon." Chasity replied, taunting her.

Leefah looked around. "Whe...Where are we?..."

"Specifically... Under the mausoleum... The room for your death..."

"Why are you trying to kill me!"

"Specifically... The orders weren't kill so much but I grew bored so I moved onto the next big step of killing you..."

Joker stopped and looked at the staircase.

"I hear footsteps..."

"Oh great... he found me..."

Atlas walked down the steps. "It's over Joker..."

Joker looked down towards the ground.

"Hold on... Joker.... Why do you want me dead..."

Atlas looked at Joker quizically

"You're soul...."

"Again with the 'my soul' thing... What is so great about it..."

Joker made a little ball of flame in his hand. "Your soul has experienced the perfect trauma for harvesting.... Just like all the children we kidnapped..."

"They.... They did all have bad backgrounds.... But why is mine so worth going after...."

"Because your soul is fully grown, A well prepared meal for demons... though not one myself, I'd rather feed it to the person I know deserves it"

Joker shoved his hands together in a smashing motion, "Plus killing you Miss Kagyura would give me the rights to your soul, perfect for crushing your demon's hopes of eating you..."

"Hope you like fireballs big boy..." shouted Joker forming a ball of fire in his palms.

Atlas gripped his sword but didn't move.

"ATLAS! LOOK OUT!" she shouted.

"Fireball!!" he shouted....... but nothing happened.

"Well.... That was anti-climactic...."

Leefah sighed, "Okay.. I... I don't care anymore... Atlas just finish him please..."

"I was waiting for the command!" he said happily raising his sword.

"SHOULDN'T WE TALK ABOUT THIS!!" Joker shouted as Atlas slashed him in half, turning his body to smoke.

"Hey, can we fight yet?...."

"Hey baby, aren't you sexy..."

"Oh... OH HELL NO!"

"Man I will cut you in two!"

"Oh SHNAP!!"

"See this? It's a fuckin' sword. It will kill ghosts, yeah! I know their dead, they die again!"

Chasity looked at the ghost man, "It does hurt, don't let her stab you because she has some serious problems bro..."

"God Fine!"

"Yeah that's right! Back the fuck off! I'm taken!"

"Straight up gurl! You tell 'em!"

"I get it already I'll go..."

"I AM A DEMON AND AN ANGRY ONE! DON'T TEMP ME!! I'M PRIMED AND POISED FOR BATTLE! I WILL GO NINJA ON YOU!"

"Look, take her advice and leave... her sword hurts to stab you. Don't underestimate her..."

"But she is kinda cute..."

The sun began to rise over the cemetery a Atlas and Chasity exited the mausoleum.

"We're back..." Leefah said smiling.

Atlas glared at Tophet, "You better get going... Unless you want me to finish you off too..."

"How tragic... You got Joker with just one swipe didn't you..."

Atlas nodded and smiled devilishly.

"Looks like it's two on one now... but the numbers are in our favor..."

Tophet rolled her eyes, "Yes... I know..." she said sighing.

"So get going, Before I stab you with your own sword..." Chasity taunted.

Tophet glared at Leefah.

Leefah ducked behind Atlas, "She... She looked at me..."

"Yes... I know... I'm here aren't I..."

She began to walk away, "Don't think I'm done you... Leefah Kagyura...."

Leefah pumped her chest out, "Yeah well! I'll beat you up next time!" she yelled trying to sound strong.

"Don't.... Don't do that...."

Tophet looked at Chasity, "You too... We'll fight again sometime..."

"I look forward to it!" she said back, ready to fight right there.

"You guys are weird, I'm going back to my grave..."

"HE'S STILL HERE!"

"EEWWW He suddenly smells super gross!!!"

"You guys are so mean..."

"Just....Just go... Just go bro..."

The Perfect Track to Listen to during this part

(Song- Nakama Tachi)

Chasity stared Tophet down and smiled at her, marking the time for their next battle. She turned and flew to the edge of the cemetery as Tophet headed for the exit.

Chasity stopped and looked at the rising sun.

"......Why are you in your underwear you pervert...."

Atlas looked at her annoyed, "I liked you better dead..."

"Can't we just enjoy the sunrise guys?....."

"....................................................................."

"......................................................................"

"......................................................................."

"Seriously why..."

"Yeah couldn't you have just put new clothes on before you got here...."

"Ugh... I really hate you women..."

Chasity patted his cheek, "Oh, you know you love us you big chunk of love!"

"Aww!! You're getting along!!"

Chasity laughed and rolled her eyes disgusted at the thought, "Demon and Fairy getting along?.... That's preposterous..."

"You've never used that word before... But yes... We are never going to be friends Leefah..."

"Mr ghost!! You can come too!!"

"No way!! That blond girl is mean!!"

Chasity grabbed both their hands and looked towards the sun.

"Let's enjoy this..."

"So um... How did you live...."

"It's called Soul Finder, Few fairies posses the ability. If I die, I'm able to re-enter my body if it's still usable..." Chasity answered.

Atlas glanced at Chasity, "Guess you picked some pretty cool friends...."

".....you mean....."

"We're friends now Atlas?....."

"Awww, and the grinches heart grew three sizes that day" Chasity said laughing.

"I'm still eating your soul.... But yes..." he rolled his eyes and smiles shyly, "We're friends..."

'I'm gonna tear up...."

"I'M SO HAPPY!!" she said, almost bursting into tears of joy.

"Again with the crying... I should have just expected it..."

"You guys are too cute.... Guess there was your sign of 'Love' Leefah" Chasity said teasingly.

"What was that" asked Atlas.

"NOTHING!!" Leefah shouted, embarrassed.

"Ugh, great..."

"Waiting for me?...."

"Finally!! The sun was rising..."

"Calm down.... I'm alive aren't I...."

"What's our new orders"

'We'll deliver the children's souls to the man who hired us, and tell him we couldn't get the girls.... He's sure to be mad, he seem like he really wanted it..."
