One Hell Of A Maid

Chapter 11 - So Close

(A/N: Hi! It's been over a year XD I'm very sorry!!! Honestly! I am going to update as often as I can from now on though ~)

"We could take it by force..." Sebastian suggested.

"No, we don't know how to use it." Francesca replied. "As much as I dislike him, we're going to have to wait for him to activate it."

The group then heard a familiar laugh and spotted the undertaker carrying the device.

"Undertaker!? What are you doing here?" Ciel demanded.

"Hiya~" Undertaker grinned. "While I was escaping I was asked to help carry this and then you did that 'Phoenix' thing again."

"Forget that right away!!"

"Do you happen to know how to activate this?" Francesca whispered whilst looking up at the man.

"Who knows~~ how will this thing be of any help, I wonder."

The device was carried down some stairs and placed on the floor carefully. Viscount Druitt still acted as though it was the most important thing in the world.

"Are you going to activate it?" Francesca asked with a hopeful tone.

"Not yet. The cast is still incomplete." Viscount Druitt said with a small grin.

"BASTARD!! Why did you take the device!?" Ryan appeared and yelled from the balcony.

"Welcome, Ryan. I was waiting for you." Viscount Druitt opened his arms wide. "Tonight the empire you built will collapse like Pompeii. And in it's place, my new realm will be born! With the power of this device... I will create a new empire!!"

He continued to babble on and threatened to destroy the device with his glass of wine. Grell and Ronald were getting irritated from the balcony.

"I'm getting quite irate, may I kill him?" Lotti asked.

"No, wait, though I understand your feelings." Ciel's voice was monotonous.

The windows to the room were smashed open and the corpses came pouring into the room. "Please activate it, Viscount!!" Francesca called and hurried towards him.

"I'm not a viscount anymore!!" He said, glanced down then back to Francesca. "Caesar, I will activate it if you call me that way. With that lovely little mouth of yours, robin." He reached forwards and slid his fingertips across Francesca's cheek.

"Yeah, lets kill him right now." Ciel concluded.

"Please wait, although I understand your feelings..." Lotti replied.

"Hey, you, make that thing work already!!!" Grell screamed.

"Fine. It's time to found my new empire. Come on, everybody. Show me the dance of the Phoenix to pledge your loyalty to the emperor!" Everybody stood still and silently wished to kill him though he continued. "What are you doing? Come on!!"

"The complete flame in our chests..." Sebastian and Ciel mumbled.

"Shall not be extinguished by anyone..." Grell and Ronald continued.

"We are... the new incarnation of..."

"THE PHOENIX!!"

"Ah, well done, gentlemen and wonderful robins." Viscount Druitt smiled. "Now I will show you how the dead army prostrates itself before me!!" He pushed a button on the device but nothing happened at all.
