《Svails: Chains of Nebulas》Chapter 12: Water of revenge, Flame of rage
Advertisement
The room is surrounded in an intense heat, Siyo's eyes glowing bright red with a look of bloodlust and anger all over her face. Her eyes color like a burning flame of rage, aimed directly at Exceilot, the sound of metal scratching against the ground echos throughout the room as Siyo drags her flaming sword behind her. Sagamie stares at Siyo and finds herself unable to move, fearful of the sudden change in Siyo's personality, a chill going through out her entire body as she utters Siyo's name once again, "S-Siyo?" she says with a stutter in her voice.
"That is quite the surprise, to think you once owned a gauntlet, but as I showed your friend with the flashlight, it will make no difference." Exceilot boasts.
"Shut up!" Siyo shouts as she suddenly dashes torwar Exceilot, pulling up her sword from the ground.
The way in which Siyo dashes Exceilot is as if she has no care in the world, no worry for counter attacks, almost as if she is unable to think straight and is shrouded by rage. The intense heat on Siyo's blade heats up even more, the flame around it growing in size as she keeps her gaze fixated onto Exceilot's figure, and then Siyo finally strikes Exceilot with a downward slash from her blade. Exceilot uses her gauntlet ability to freeze Siyo's sword well before it even nears her face, Siyo is quick to throw a left hook at Exceilot, while continuing to add pressure from her sword, hoping to break the gauntlet's hold on it. Reacting at the last second, Exceilot manages to also freeze Siyo's left hand inches before it reaches her face.
"One, two" Siyo mutters under her breathe.
"Enough!" Exceilot shouts as she surrounds Siyo within the red smoke, and freezes her entire body, Siyo once again muttering a number under her breathe "three."
In the moment, Exceilot is hit with a fast jet of water, throwing her off balance. Sagamie stands in the distance with tears flowing down her face. "I don't know what you did to Marigold, but if she is alive I'm going to make you tell me!" Sagamie shouts, a mix of anger and sadness in her voice. Losing focus on Siyo, Exceilot looks back only to notice the flames on Siyo's sword are gone, and are surrounding her arm, spinning at unbelievable speed.

"When did she-"
"THREE IT IS! INFERNOID SPIRAL!" Siyo shouts as she makes contact with Exceilot's face, the flames around her arm inflicting intense burns on both Exceilot's face, and her own arm. The attack sends Exceilot flying backward into a wall causing it to crack and start to make the room they stand in fall apart, Exceilot's red mist beginning to fade. As the smoke from Siyo's attack fades, she falls to her knees and screams, her arm seriously burnt from the flames around her arm.
"Siyo! You're hurt, what was that attack, why would you burn yourself" Sagamie asks as she rushes to Siyo's side.
"It was the only way to defeat her...I had to do something"
"What you did was reckless, you could of used my help!"
"We got her didn't we? It doesn't matter anymore, I'm not quite sure I understand what happend either to be honest"
While Siyo and Sagamie sit there talking, the rubble from the direction Exceilot flew in, suddenly begins to float off the ground, Exceilot, walking out from the rubble, her clothes ripped all over, gauntlet cracked, and her left cheek burnt almost as much as Siyo's arm. "I got careless! Don't make me laugh with that "we got her" shit, I would never fall to a single attack, you must be joking! Do you even know who I am, you're a bunch of kids, and I am a rogue captain! You squirts don't stand a chance in hell of defeating me!" Exceilot screams in anger, having reached her limit of patience with Siyo and the other hunters.
"Impossible, she lived through that strike!?" Sagamie says in disbelief.
"I don't know what I did, and with the state of my arm, I don't think I can repeat it, Sagamie can you hold her off while we retreat?" Siyo requests of Sagamie.
"No...I am not running away from this woman again, I did it once, and I won't do it again, Not until I get answers on my best friend. I won't fail Marigold this time!" Sagamie states as she stands up on her two feet, activating her gauntlet, a blue light shining out of the left and right sections.
"Eh?! Marigold? Oh this is grand! I can't help but laugh. if you assumed she wasn't dead you'd be right, but I can't provide you with anymore information on her, she was shipped off after our location was compromised, if you want the girl, you will have to take that up with Jinx, if you can survive that encounter that is!" Exceilot laughs, proceeding to cough from all the smoke.

Sagamie grits her teeth at Exceilot's comment and summons two medium sized balls of water in both her hands, each one slowly increasing in speed. "I will not forgive you!" Sagamie shouts, launching both water balls directly at Exceilot.
as Exceilot activates her gauntlet the water freezes in place, however seconds later, they unfreeze and Exceilot has moved just enough distance to dodge the attack.
"Sagamie! I cracked her gauntlet, it looks like she can't keep things frozen forever anymore, we can use that!" Siyo points out.
"Thanks for the tip, I will aim for the gauntlet then! Let's finish her off Siyo!"
Sagamie helps Siyo up, who picks up her sword in her left hand, so she can aid Sagamie. "I'm afraid I won't be at my maximum strength, but I can still lend aid, if we overwhelm her she shouldn't be able to keep up." Siyo says to Sagamie.
Sagamie nods her head, keeping her gauntlet activated, and prepares another attack. Exceilot activates her gauntlet, and begins to Surround the area in a tornado of red mist, similar to what she performed on Angel.
"You two need to drop dead already, I don't have anymore of my time to waste on you! this ability halts all important body functions, while keeping you alive at the same time! You won't be able to move as you slowly die, I told you before that there is no way of defeating me." Exceilot smiles. Suddenly the mist surrounding the two dissapears, and Exceilot looks down to find her right hand covered in what looks like hard rock.
"W-What is this?" Exceilot screams as the rock slowly crushes her arm, smashing her gauntlet in the process.
"That would be the power of another gauntlet trumping your own, Rogue captain" Tohka says as she enters the room, her gauntlet open, and two horns growing out of it, both of a blackish, brown color. Tohka lets herself in through a broken window in the building, dropping down to the same level as the others.
"My name is Tohka Hayashi, Captain of the Svail hunter division in the city of Ryke, with said authority, I place you under arrest, traitor to the human race!" Tohka states with a serious face.
"This is absurd! I'm not supposed to lose! You are all supposed to-" Exceilot shouts as she is cute off.
"You have lost, these two ladies have proved that, I'm sure had I not shown up you still would have lost, your problem is you are so full of yourself that you underestimate others abilities. You have been defeated and that is a fact, so don't sit there and whine about it." Tohka claims. Exceilot screams in desperation as she stabs her dagger into the earth surrounding her right arm, breaking it and rushing Tohka. With a straight face, Tohka raises her right arm, and Exceilot is gripped within a giant rock shaped hand. Following this Tohka knocks Exceilot unconcious with a single right hook to the face.
As Tohka releases the knocked out Exceilot, she is suddenly hugged by a crying Siyo. "Tohka! Y-You're proud of me right! I'm not in trouble." Siyo says in tears. Tohka looks up at Sagamie, and compares the differences in both her injuries and Siyo's. "Yeah, I am Siyo, and I bet your mother would be too, you saved this girl, that is definitely an achievment." Tohka smiles as she closes her gauntlet and hugs Siyo back.
Meanwhile, back at the svail hunter base, a shadowed figure sits in the hallway, their legs crossed and humming what sounds like a lullaby.
"Yes...Things have gotten a bit chaotic over here, it seems we didn't have to do much, Exceilot did her part, of course she was as naive as we expected her to be, I mean she actually fell for the trap we layed by leading those two girls in her direction." The figure laughs with a wide smile.
"Alright then, if they don't kill her, make sure that you do then! It is vital to our plan that Elkio believes that captain is killed by the hands of the hunters, do not let them keep her alive that is an order." A mans voice is heard over an earpiece in the figures ear.
"Understood sir, I will inform Matsuoka of the new developments as well." The figure says as they hang up the call, smiling claiming that things are about to get a lot more interesting.
