Hololive: Watson and Apollo

Apollo's hunt

"Where the... fuck...?" 

Mia jolted awake to find herself laying on warm sand. The burning sunlight beamed into her eyes and she quickly covered her eyes and sat up. 

It took more than a few seconds to adjust to the change from last night but once it happened, and she could get a good look around. 

Multiple of those shark-human bodies lay around on the ground. some have marks from her gloves magical abilities but she doesn't remember fighting at all. 

She looked to her hands to find her weapons gone. Ame was laid out in a big pile of them and the wet sound of feet hitting the water and sand graced her ears. 

She quickly turned and pointed her left hand to the target to see one lone shark still standing. 

The blue highlights in her hair and the missing chunk out of her tail made her noticeably different from the rest. From the looks of it, she was missing a hairclip as she turned her eyes to meet Mia's. 

"Don't come back." She summoned a trident to her and stabbed it into the ground as a threat then continued her way into the sea. 

She was lost to the waves that Mia couldn't see but the thought of Ame came back to her mind now that danger was gone. 

She rushed over to her friend to see her already badly injured on the ground. A damaged pocket watch hung from her skirt. 

Mia's gloves were on her hands and the fact she was just about dead with her pocket watch attached really meant something was wrong. 

"Ame...?" nothing more than her friend's name could come to mind, "Why haven't you gone back...?" 

"Don't be dumb... we both know it's broken... it can't do much anymore..." Ame reached up with a smile and grabbed Mia's hand. 

"That can't be! It's magic, how does magic simply stop working!" The shaking in her hands was hard to bear even for someone who can't feel half their body anymore. 

"It can't go back more than 30 seconds right now... though with the..." She cleared her throat but it was obviously trying to avoid coughing, "It lets you go to a little secret dimension... it saved me more than a few times..." 

"I'm sorry..." 

Ame was confused by her friend's words, "What for?" 

"For not saving you when you needed me most..." The tears that she had been holding back started to come out but Ame reached up to wipe them away accidentally leaving just a bit of her blood on Mia's face. 

"Don't worry... I saved you one last time... that's all that matters to me, Apollo." She mustered up the strength to give a decent smile which only made Mia's mood worse from the force it took to do so. 

Her wounds were too great and the chances of saving her were close to slim. Not that Mia had the knowledge to save her anyway. Any time one of them got seriously hurt, the watch was always there to save them. The idea of it not being there or it being broken never occurred to either girl and with it actually happening right now, Mia couldn't help but feel like this was her fault. 

"...Do me one more favor..." Ame had one last thing to say as she reached to her chest and took off her pocket watch, "...Clear that debt for the both of us? ...Keep our business going... for both of us, 'kay...?" She couldn't possibly fix the watch to Mia's jacket so simply set it down in her hands. 

"Yea... yes. Leave it to me, Detective..." 

"...Now... you... decide... to... say it..." Ame closed her eyes for one last time with a smile on her face while her head hit the sand.
