Persephone

The Bells

"Hey, if you're going to stop staring in horror, we'd love it if you'd actually do something... since we're kind of stuck."

Kai exhaled a sigh of relief as Elaine made the smart reply. "Same as ever, sister."

Lloyd jumped up in a rising slash, slicing through the webs. Sharl... "Why is there blood?"

"They bit us a little, but surprisingly, they didn't drain us. They're probably waiting to eat us up later though."

Lloyd breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the Psychic's voice. "Be careful. These webs are pretty... actually, you might want to hurry. They're looking hungry again..."

"You fools! You'll all pay for what you have done to our children!" The spiders were communicating with Psychic. "You underestimate our power! You-"

"Shut up." Lloyd cleanly cut the speaker arachnid in half with Persephone. He landed on a small rocky outcropping. "What a pushover, sheesh." Lloyd didn't even turn around; he knew that Kai had his back, and heard the shriek as another was fried. "Nice."

"No problem." Immediately, the Thunder Eon appeared next to him. "We'd better hurry. They're still up there..." A frozen chunk of ice fell from above, and the two of them jumped out of the way. It turned out to be a spider that had been hit by an ice beam. "I guess there's not too much of a rush." They both jumped up.

"I'll save them, you work on clearing out the rest, agreed?"

"Sure." Kai immediately jumped away. "Thunderbolt." He said the words calmly, a blast erupting from his body. It arced cleanly towards each of the spiders, travelling through one to another.

Lloyd turned his focus to the girls. He could see them clearly now. Sharl was using her psychic powers to repel them, but there was only so much she could do without her primary weapon. A dark pulse at this range could be bad, especially for Sharl. He huffed, then held out his hand. "Double Team." He waved it casually, summoning his clone. "Let's go now!" He launched himself straight at the arachnid ready to sink its teeth into Sharl. "She's mine!"

The moment he pierced it with his sword, he summoned a dark pulse, exploding it to bits. "You're not going to kill her!"

"We didn't need your help!" protested Elaine, before she was splattered with bits of bug type. "Eww..."

All right Lloyd, finish it off with some swordsmanship.

Of course. It's classy. He whipped his blade around, jumping from wall to wall, dicing up the other two unfortunate bug types. He thrust it back into its sheathe, the bugs exploding.

"Show off," said Elaine, but Sharl just blushed.

"Thanks..." Lloyd flinched; both had some bite marks on their arm. Too slow...

"Are you two all right?"

"They started biting us, but luckily, you two came just in time to disrupt them. We were saving our energy for when we needed it, and- KYAAA! We're naked! Don't look!" Elaine failed at covering her breasts due to the stickiness of the webbing.

Lloyd hastily turned away. "Kai, are you okay?"

The Thunder Type landed on the ledge next to him, blood staining his cloak. "Aside from the gash that damned Fairy Type gave me, never better."

"Where's that bitch? I'm going to kill her!"

The Thunder Type pulled off his mask, and said, "Are you two okay?"

"Yes, we're fine. Cut us out will you?"

In two clean slices, Kai freed his sister, who immediately crossed her arms over her chest. "Stop staring! It's creepy!" she complained to Lloyd.
