Red Queen

Hunt XIX: Midnight Lotus

"Black Cat in position."

"Lily in position."

"Midnight Lotus in position, ready to move out?"

"Why is your name so cool Alcea?" Lily asks.

"I have no idea what you mean," Alcea responds preparing to move out.

"Let's just move out." Black Cat says moving to their next position.

The three moved out with the night as their ally.

"How many of them are there?" Lily asks Black Cat.

"3 no 4 of them this will be easy." Black Cat says.

Alcea moved in quickly and quietly knocking out the first 2 guards. Balck Cat and Lily followed her knocking out the other 2 guards.

"We're about halfway through any good finds?" Black Cat asks Alcea.

"Just some data nothing special," Alcea replies.

"Hold your position someones coming sounds like multiple targets," Lily says taking cover.

The 3 prepare their weapons in case they had to fight.

"Did you get the reports, I sent them over, so hurry up and send them top side."

"That voice sounds familiar." Black Cat whispers.

"Why are you here, why did it have to be you?" Alcea asks upset.

"It seems we have an intruder, I'll have to call you back," she says hanging up her comm unit.

"Who are you again, I do say you look familiar. Is that you dear sister, Alcea?" she asks her.

Alcea draws her blade and points it at her, and she does the same.

"Midnight calm down we need to go we've been spotted the missions over," Lily said to Alcea looking for an escape route.

"I've got the info we were sent to retrieve, let's get out of here." Black Cat says.

"Shut up, why are you here Willow!" Alcea shouts at her.

"Because I am, I knew you'd come to visit sooner or later," Willow says excitedly.

"This ends here and now Willows, and I'll be taking my sword back too," Alcea replies to her.

"Well see about that sister," Willow says to her.

The two charge towards each other clashing and backing away from each other keeping their distance and their guard up.

The two sisters clashed back and forth with each other. Willow was out of breath and had stumbled a bit, Alcea charged at her preparing to land the finishing blow on Willow.

"Moon Light Shadow," Willow says as the room goes completely dark, leaving only herself and Alcea.

"That won't work this time Willow," Alcea says as her blade goes through willow's back.

"What did you..." Willow asks as her awakening stops, and she begins to bleed out.

"Midnight Lotus, my Awakening creates an illusion an illusion in which you thought you had used your Awakening," Alcea says pulling her blade out of Willows's chest.

"That was beautifully done Alcea," Willow says with her last breath.

"I love you too big sister," Alcea said as she takes the sword Willow had been using and kissing her sister's forehead.

"Let's go Black Cat, Lily we're done here," Alcea says as she finds the nearest escape route.

The two girls nodded and followed Alcea as they head for the exit.

"Do you wanna talk about it Alcea?" Lily asks her.

"No, I'm fine," Alcea said as she called for the Airship to pick them up.
