Opening Theme [Static P - Rewind]
One more time, rewind
I'll find another way back here...
I've been to the hard times
I've been at the wrong side
I've been ashamed
So many memories you know, I like to change
I'm gonna correct this
I'm gonna direct us to better days
I'm gonna turn back the clock
And a different way

To turn back time, you know
'Til I find the right road
I've change that fate once before
So here I go
A new story unfold!!
One more time, rewind

On this memories, I reflect
I conceive a better plan from here
One more time, rewind

-Story-

It was during the Phoenix King's abdication of his position as High Councilor that Leni received kit of threads and other sewing tools. The package is sent from Greece and was placed as top secret item. Leni was still had memories of her time before the whole regime even started, the time Kody died. All that can be said is that he perished untimely, before even the regime can begin. Leni begin to fall short during her employment at the mall but luckily, pulled herself out of the gutter and soon began her own project for fashion clothing.

As soon as she got married to her new better half, Chaz and conceived her twins Gema and Mina that things go even further south. Meta-activity was once again legalized by the High Councilor even until his abdication, in which led to the discovery of both the Gemini Twins of their meta-genes and powers.

Wait... both of them? How come? Both the twins wonder why only one of them inherited their mother's powers. It was supposed to be one of them. Well, both twins had talents of being a fashionista, make-up artists, and much smarter than their mother. Gema however had the power to replicate herself into seven distinct personas based on seven virtues.

Gema's clone personas
Humility (Gema Humilitia)- humble-heart, admits to mistakes but gives credits when due. Never boastful, and always there for the dishearten. Never vain. Trustworthy and honest.
Charity (Gema Charitas)- Giving, generous and always helpful. Never greedy and always think of others before self. She also is good at managing budget, never letting herself be a spend-thrift.
Goodwill (Gema Benevolentia)- Kind, gentle, soft-voiced, empathetic/sympathetic, compassionate. Never covetous/envious nor seeks ill-will against others. Always looks at the good of others even if they are somewhat antagonistic.
Patience (Gema Paciencia)- Understanding, forgiving, never vengeful nor blood-boiled/wrathful. Though forbearance and tolerant, she does however seeks truth in one's words or action and always aim to see one's heart.
Diligent (Gema Industria)- Passionate, hardworking, industrious, motivated and motivator. Never letting setbacks hinder her from achieving goals. Optimistic and energetic.
Restraint (Gema Temperantia)- soft-spoken, self-controlled/resolute, decisive and steadfast. Never letting fears/doubts ruin her. She is also health-concerned, always watching for diet.
Chastity (Gema Inocencia)- pure-minded, innocent, and platonic. Never lets something done with disgrace/malice. Though sometimes curious especially in matters involving love or romance. And also faithful.

Gema had been the meta-human duplicator from the twins... or is she?

It happened all too suddenly, when Gema and Mina had different paths to choose. One chose to continue their mother's legacy, while the other chose to protect those in need by staying discreet. Gema continued in arts and design, Mina joined black-ops and military arts/combat arts. And soon Mina was recommended by Valheim Van Helsing himself to replace him as member of the group of marksmen and sharpshooters for hire, the Guren no Yumiya (Scarlet Arrows) after he becomes one of the investigators in Arctic Reapers.

Gema: Mina, is there something you're not showing us? I promise mom would never scold you for it.

Mina: I'm... it's better if you see yourself.

Gema: Like alright. If that's what's best, sis.

One of the missions during her final qualification to the Scarlet is to rescue Yorn et Solaris, a possible candidate of the membership and a fellow student. He was captured by someone who knew his weakness due to being a demi-human son of Apollo. He had a bow that harness the power of the sun and his powers can be compared to Helios. Members of the Scarlet had their mission briefing. Clint Westwood, is cowboy that was Ryker's descendant and lover of another fellow gunner, Violet Quicksilver.

Clint: So our targets are Morpheus and Selene rogues that wanted to use Yorn's powers to put the planet into darkness. Doesn't sound too good ain't it partner.

Violet: We heard that there's a possibility that both immortals aren't involved but uses their knowledge of mystics to wrong the world. Times like this we need Valheim or the Silverstars family.

Becky: They can't. they're on another mission involving the Arctic Reapers and went to Fenton Corp to deal with the paranormal. Meaning we're on our own.

Mina [flashback]: What about the Plumbers?

Backy: No contact, I'm afraid. We're relying on you this time, Femme Fatale. You got the Yin-Yang in you, make it work.

Gema and Mina witness how the mission will transpire. Gema discovered that Mina had a recessive/weak amount of meta-genes that she can only do duplicate into two and not only that but unlike their mother which can replace their clones with ease, Gema and Mina had permanent link with their clones. Meaning if one of the clones perish, it'll take some time for them to recover or maybe never (which is Mina's case). This is why she is careful for her clones are like her sisters too, just as Gema care for hers, Mina care too.

Yin Mina - is Mina's dark, cold, and serious personality with a hint of being calculative and logical (The Left Brain).
Yang Mina - is Mina's sunny, happy-go-lucky, emotional, and caring/romantic personality (The Right Brain)

Both had been Mina's advantage in fighting. One usually acts as distraction while the other is the executioner. Gema could not believe it but she found out that Mina did carry, even little of their mother's traits. Meanwhile, they also relive their mother's battle elsewhere.

Leni/Gemini Girl: Why are these guys like still do this? Don't they know that we're back even if Linky isn't the High Councilor anymore.

Clyde/Brother's Eye [com]: Don't sweat the details Leni. These goons are probably out for revenge since they had their cult annihilated. These lunar diviners had been causing trouble from a long time according to the Phoenix King's records. Maybe they did something that angered him.

Lori/Savitara: Guys a little help! There moonlight powers shouldn't be this powerful!

Clyde/Brother's Eye [com]: They are empowered by the moon especially now that it's the full moon and incoming lunar eclipse. Their illusion and dream powers may be too much for you guys to handle.

Luna/Amplifier: Oh Fly me to the moon if we don't stop them. If they continue their ritual of using their sacrifice to amplify the moonlight's power, all of America, or the whole world will be under the Infinite Tsukuyomi!

Clyde/Brother's Eye [com]: Could you not call it that way!! I'm mad enough that they are ripping off that show when they are doing this ritual. I don't want to hear anymore Naruto reference in this mission! Anyways you guys have to stop them from using the fog of Morpheus ritual.

Back to the Lunar temple [Scarlet Arrow Mission]

The guards are at standby at the gate and currently monitoring the invitees to make sure there are no intruders. Once the followers had all entered the temple, they now start their covert mission.

Yin Mina: I got eyes on the price.

Yin Mina snipes the guards while Yang Mina had infiltrated the facility to gather spoils, jewelries and key items that will halt the cult's advances.

Yang Mina: Isn't this like, stealing?

Violet: Don't worry about that, we can give it to charity since they're gonna use it for bad anyways.

Both girls had caught the attention of one of the lunar diviners. Violet gunned down the witness while Yang Mina looted the witness of his clothing to disguise herself. The loud shot had been heard and had the other guards alerted to know what is happening. When some of them had come, Yin Mina and Clint assassinates the diviners and took their garbs for disguise as the four of them rushes to the main room.

Becky [com]: What's the stat?

Violet: We are on our way to the main lobby where the ritual is going to be held at midnight.

Becky [com]: Good, maybe after this we can go back to our usual places since we won't be hired for another mission after this... maybe. I'll be going back to the Omni-Twins when all of this is over.

Clint: Good for you but I'll stick with Sir Balagtas and Mistress Sweetwater when we're done. They said about taking a vacation at the archipelago of Philippines. Over and out.

When they reached the main room, they saw many cultist are preparing for the main event. Since they are in disguises, nobody notices them and gunned the ritual dagger away from Yorn's flesh. The sound caused a panic and since most members are unarmed and powerless, they fled.

Violet: Do not let them all escape!

Becky [com]: I know! Alright Scarlet Arrows!! Capture every fleeing members, Dead or Alive. Preferably alive!

Becky ordered the backup group to capture remaining members and have them under arrest.

Diviner Leader: Pesky creatures of the sun. Ruining my plan.

Yin Mina: We know why you captured him. Since he had sun powers like Helios, he is powerless during the night. You kidnapped him and were gonna use his powers to make the moon shine brighter especially midnight tonight so you can put everyone into an infinite dream. If Yorn dies, his essence as the son of Apollo will be extracted from his body and return to the Apollo himself, but you plan to take it by force.

Diviner Leader: Clever girl but you are too late! We have the necessary things to even restart the ritual. You are too late. Guards! Kill them all!

A total of six guards arrived. Clint and Violet fights four of them but had to be careful or their arcane powers of the moon will be nasty for them. They mustn't get flashed by the light or they will be under hypnosis. Mina's duplicates had then reached to the leader's stage and fought the leader.

Diviner Leader: You both underestimate me. [Summons a moon-empowered sword] Time to dance in the night.

Yin Mina held on to a regular sword from the loots and deflects the leader's attacks. Then Mina started attacking but the leader blocks each slashes. When they are in a middle of a clash, both the leader and Yin Mina draws near.

Diviner Leader: Such pity, you could have been an excellent concubine.

Yin Mina: You're not even married!

The leader pushes Yin Mina back and points his sword at her face. Mina swipes it away with a slash and dodges two overhead strikes. They continue to clash their swords whilst running down the altar's stairs. Then the leader overpowers Yin Mina with another overhead strike as Yin Mina stumbles to the floor. The leader was about to deal the final blow only to be blocked by Yang Mina's fashion scissors. Yang Mina then pushes the diviner backwards as she helps her duplicate to stand up.

Diviner Leader: All of you are just annoying little pests. Once the ritual is complete, all of you will love me, worship me!!

The diviner slashes and got blocked by Yin Mina's blade. Yang Mina rushes and thrusts her scissors forward but was dodged. When the diviner performs a beheading strike, both duplicates bend down to dodge. Then they split and the diviner attacks Yin Mina first. But since Yang Mina is at the other side, she also tries to strike down the leader with her blades and scissors but was blocked by the moonlit sword. Both tools broke and Yang Mina was unarmed when the leader strike her the coup de grace. The sword passed through her heart and was kicked out of the altar.

Violet: Oh no...

Yin Mina: NO!!!!

Violet then finished her fight and rushes to the injured duplicate. Yang Mina was in raged of what she saw. Her own duplicate now at the verge of death. The leader relentlessly rushes to Yang Mina and tried to strike her down, only for both their blades to clash and Mina's blade to shatter. Violet then throws a flashbomb and stuns the leader. Yin Mina uses her knitted cloth from her mother's gifts as rope to get the sword from the enemy's hand. Violet is out of artilleries to used so she worn brass knuckles. Both women then charges at the leader with a barrage of synchronized attacks. Violet and Yin Mina passes punches that bounce like tennis and Violet backhands back. Yin Mina holds and chokes the leader and uppercuts him. As he tumbles back, Violet knee kicks him from the back causing him to stand back. Then both kicks him in different directions, as they continue to brutalize him. Yin Mina grab the leader and wand flips him backwards to Violet in which she responds with a grab and kick at the face causing him to spin midair until he drops in a kneeling position. Finally, both deals a heavy hook punch at him causing the diviner to lose consciousness. After the attacks they free Yorn while Yin Mina goes to Yang Mina.

Yang Mina: Sorry... sis.

Yin Mina: Don't talk... you'll get through this. I promise.

Yang Mina: Hey... don't tell our Gema what happened. She'll worry... her and her seven virtues.

Yin Mina: No, no, no. You'll survive okay. We will get to see mom again... sis, please.

Yang Mina: Have I've been a good girl?

Yin Mina: You are... you've been a good girl.

Yang Mina loses her life and her body wither into dust and gathers back into Yin Mina's body where she felt the pain of the fatal blow. Because of the death of her other half, she can no longer summon her back unless she be able to fully master her mother's powers. The three of them went outside and Becky drives them to the other lunar diviners. The Scarlet Arrows then battles the remnants of the cult and apprehends them successfully.

Lori/Savitara: Phew, thank literally for the assist.

Leni/Gemini Girl: Oh hey Mina. Hey are you okay?

Mina: I'm fine mom. Where are the Virtues?

Leni/Gemini Girl: Oh Gema's helping the captives. Like she really is such a good girl.

Mina: Yeah, I know. I better help her. See ya, mom.

Mina found Innocencia, Benevolentia, Industria and Charitas and assisted on the others that needs help. The rest of Gema's virtues (Temperantia, Paciencia and Humilitia) are capturing any Lunar Diviner remnants. Both the immortal Morpheus and Selene apologized for the acts of the rogue leaders of their mages. Apollo forgave those who repented from their groups and promised to maintain the balance between them. Lincoln/Phoenix King heard the reports and partially explained his involvement since he was the one who asked the mages of different factions to help him seal a very powerful immortal wizard once, Soothsayer. But in his arrogance, he was betrayed by others and pointed their arcane weapons at him, for there he retaliates with a powerful blow. Apollo had understood the Phoenix King's intent and with Camael's suggestion, had him absolved from any guilt.

Mina however is at her home with Gema, contesting in their latest sewn gowns. But it seemed Mina is at a losing streak after feeling a part of her vanished. Gema comforts her sister without knowing what had occurred.

Mina: So now you know the truth.

Gema: Aww, you never told me. You've been carrying this burden for yourself and that's not good for you. This time, let me help okay!

Mina: Okay. Thanks sis.

The two girls finally found closure and Mina felt like a piece of her is returning. Maybe there's hope of her other half to return... It's only a matter of when

-TBC

-Music-
Unbroken silence
In jewel of an island
Chasing the light & found a big shadow
Standing in the darkness
Bear my loneliness
Light and shadow stare me for eternity
I'm dreaming over time clearly to understand a calling given
by the everlasting
I can't stop the urge to destroy
It infects like a rising flames
Brainwashed strange world in reality
I can't take anymore
We lose track of the preciousness of our life like a shot
Fall into the slough of ruin
But I can change my future
-Choir and Music ends-

AN: And there you have the sixth chapter of this sequel. Trivia, I once planned the twins to have a secret third sister, making them triplets (or Tri-plicate Girls) but I suddenly forgotten that idea and go with a new approach on this chapter. Anyways, Leni only became Gemini Girl when she let go of her Multiple Girl mantle and used her Olympian Sewing kit and wove a new suit for herself, which is much sturdy than before. It was her coping mechanism of losing Kody Kent (Smoking Wrecker's OC).

Some characters belongs to a fellow DeviantArtist NBWatts and Ben10Man/JakeVoronkov. Very good friends of mine.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed reading. Leave a like, review, follow and as always: God Bless, Stay Safe and Peace/Shalom!!
