"Well it's too damn risky for anyone else!" Irvine said. "I won't allow anyone else to just become a lamb led to slaughter... Maybe I can fight them off long enough to..." He held his wrist. "I can use demonata... I can overpower most of them... Maybe all of them in this tight space." He spoke.

"Don't be so cocky!" Taini cried out. "What if you are killed!? What could you say to Ai huh? What could you say to any of us!? If anything, I'm going to help. It's not like I'm useless yet." She glared down the man sternly.

"What would you say to Derrick... You aren't just wasting your life!" Irvine said as a wall suddenly sealed, separating them from the rest.
"TAINI!" Derrick exclaimed, pounding on the wall. "Ai! Help me out here!" He shouted.
"Roar!" The bear roared, and the others simply looked on.

"Heh, guess we're stuck either way in the end." Taini sighed as she noticed the army. "What made you think you can take on all of THEM, even as demonata?" She pointed out as she fumbled with the side of her sheath, but not before taking a small syringe from her pocket and thrusting the needle into her arm.
Ai cried out toward Derrick, wondering what just happened. "Derrick!? What's wrong!? Everything okay!?"

"Irvine and Taini just got blocked off... We need to go help them now!" Derrick said, kicking at the wall, as if that would do anything.
~~~~~
"... I didn't." Irvine said bluntly. "To be honest... I can't afford to use demonata here... But... I know that no matter how many people were here... They were all going to die." He said. "That's why I wanted to go alone... So everyone would have time..." He said, hearing dull thumps on the other side of the door.

Taini shook her head with a sigh. "You call me a moron at times... what good is it if you're pretty much sacrificing yourself?" She asked her twin as she unsheathed Trinity. "Honestly, what would Ai think if she knew you would die? What would anyone think? What would Ai even do as a result? I know Derrick would be devastated if I just threw myself alone to save the world. Trust me, I've tried it. I'm not letting you do the same thing." Turning her head to the thumps, she frowned. "I wanted to help you because I wanted you to live."
~~~~~
Ai looked at what was Derrick doing, unable to help him. She knew better. There was no way they can bust through the wall. Maybe if they were Irvine or Taini, but they were... Ai and Derrick.
"Derrick, they'll be okay." She told the man before walking ahead. "We have our own issues to worry about."

"Yeah... Like whatever the hell that light is, right?" Derrick asked. "And all these other people and the bear that's following us."
"Ura." The bear growled/yawned.
~~~~~
"... You may have wanted to, but... I think now it's just as likely that neither of us will live." Irvine pointed out. "But... I guess we've come this far... The only thing left to us is to fight, isn't it?" He asked, gripping Fenrir.

"Exactly. If we are going to die, we may as well die trying, right? At least my child won't be born in this wreck of a world. This is the only benefit I see out of this." Taini asked as she gripped Trinity. "But when do you think they'll come after us?"
~~~~~
"Yeah... they probably would help but I have no idea who they are..." Ai mumbled before she found herself at the light.

And all that was at the light was a little wall. A wall with a single blinking light.
"That light... It's..." Derrick mumbled, shocked. "No way... I've seen it before..."
"Intruders... Intruders..." The light spoke.
~~~~~
"Probably the moment they see us." Irvine said, noticing he could hear more doors shutting behind him. "This is going to be ugly..." He sighed. "But... I'll take as many of them as I can... it's the least I can do, considering what they did to our home..." He said, his eyes glimmering.

"What is it Derrick?" Ai asked as she looked to Derrick before hearing the voice. "Hey! It speaks!" She cried, before stepping towards it.
~~~~~
"Call it redemption huh?" Taini asked as she noticed several soldiers now turning to them. "Well they have definitely heard us. So... use demonata if it comes to it, right?" She asked as she turned her head to him. "I mean, if we were going to die anyway..."

"No... If we're going to die... I want to die as myself!" Irvine said, running into battle without a moment's hesitation, drawing both blades and charging into the center immediately. "Overburst!" He called out, releasing energy. "I will fight... With all of MY power! Not the power of a monster or a demon!" He said, slashing into an unprepared soldier. "This is my battle, and I'll fight it myself! I don't need a crutch!" He called out, wrapping light colored mana around his blades and swinging a wide arc, causing an explosion. "Or are you going to deny yourself the means to fight as a person?" He asked her.
~~~~~
"I don't know... But it was here!" Derrick said, pulling out a knife to defend himself, only for one of the people to step forward.
"Everyone's here to fight." The person said, the bear suddenly charging.
"Intruders... Will be deleted." The machine said, wire vines shooting from it at the group.

"Tch. Like hell." Taini replied as she lifted her blade, then dashed in forward, her hand held out and aiming at a clump of the soldiers. "With a blood of a D'Carn, I won't let that happen!" She cried before launching a very powerful fire blast at them. "FLARE TORNADO!" Many soldiers were suddenly swept up into the inferno. Acting quickly, she leaped into the air and slashed through a couple of the unfortunate bastards before they even landed.
~~~~~
Ai ducked and ran at the machine, beginning the fight off with two double Demon Fangs. "Bet this will be a piece of cake!" She cried out to the team.

"Targets, threat level, checking... Checking..." The machine said, grabbing the man who had spoken by the arm. "Minimal." It said, flinging him against the wall, but he landed on it with a thud, even as the attacks simply collided with its armor.
"Don't underestimate us!" Derrick said, focusing his mana.
"Determining proper course..." The machine said.
~~~~~
"You're right... We have our father's blood... Our mother's blood... And that of Grandma and Grandpa!" Irvine said, unsealing his wings and setting into the air, though quickly finding himself surrounded. "You're just... Cheap knockoffs!" He shouted, tackling into one, even as the others flew at him, causing several heavy blows.

"Proper course?" Ai asked as she grimaced. "That's even one of my better attacks. Derrick, use Omega or whatever! Or Lightning based Artes! I'll try to!" She cried before rushing at the machine. "Lightning Tiger Blade!" She called as she began the attack.
~~~~~
"Irvine!" Taini cried out before she felt her body also tackled by several soldiers. A cling was heard, as if metal had connected with the stone floor. "OMEGA TEMPEST!" She cried, suddenly blazing through the air with Trinity in multiple rotations, slicing through the soldiers, though she appeared with a couple bruises. "Exactly... We can't die. Because we have their blood!"

"I won't be that confident..." Irvine stated as he landed on the ground, only to be punched several times. "But... I won't fall that quickly either! If I can take out even half of these, then I'll have done enough!" He called out, starting to slash at the ground, noticing a machine in the distance. "There!" He said, pointing Fenrir at it. "Icicle slash!" He called out, sending an aerial slash at the machine.
~~~~~
The attacks seemed to bounce off effortlessly. "... Analysis confirmed. Unique traits located." The machine said as it was hit with both magic and the strikes. "Preparing for acquisition and conversion of intruder." It said.

"There?" Taini breathed before noticing the object herself. Whirling her blade, she sent off another ice tornado, taking several clones with it. "So this is where it all started, huh?" She breathed before she suddenly locked blades with a clone of herself. Grimacing, she pushed and kicked it away, only to be slashed at by another at the head.
~~~~~
"What in the world is it talking about?" Ai asked as she blinked. "N-never mind. What can we do against this thing? This seems impossible!" She cried out as she began to gather a large amount of mana.

Suddenly a vinelike whip shot out at Ai, jabbing right into her chest, breaking through the skin, although the strike was very very shallow.
"What the hell!?" Derrick exclaimed, blasting the steel whip with a spell.
~~~~~
The two blasts collided with the machine, causing it to start to spark, then explode from the strain. "There... No more of that..." Irvine breathed, landing once more and striking the soldier who slashed at his sister in the back, only to block two blows at himself. "Tch... Come on... You know... They have the same blood as us... But... I don't think they have our family's will!"

Ai widened her eyes, a little shocked as to what was going on. Quickly she grasped the whip and attempted to rip it from her chest. "What is this!?" She cried as she struggled to release herself from it.
~~~~~~
Taini merely grimaced from the blow she received just as Irvine dispatched that soldier. Quickly she ducked, missing another swing to her head, and swung in retaliation at the shin while pulling the trigger. That was the end of that soldier. "Heh... of course ^_^. It's also a lot easier than you described it when you fought them earlier!" She immediately blocked not one but five blades that were going in all different directions. Anyone could have been skewered at that point, but her feet was on two of the blades that were going for her knees, her dagger clung by her tail clashing with another, Trinity blocking another, and her right hand gripping onto the final sword's hilt. They don't call me a monkey for nothing.
"OVERBURST!" She cried, blasting back the five.

"Acquisition confirmed..." The machine said. "Conversion in process." It continued, even as the wire was removed.
"Conversion in... What?" Derrick mumbled.
~~~~~
"... When I fought them last... I didn't know I was going to die... And I didn't know what they were... But now I know... AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!" He shouted, suddenly slashing with the fury of a ton of slashes.

Taini sweat dropped slightly before leaping back. Mid backflip, she threw herself down at the ground with Trinity in hand and brought the blade down directly into the stone while pulling the trigger. Several clones soon found themselves needled by hundreds of thousands of stone fragments. Pulling back the weapon, Taini grinned before throwing herself at them. Sheathing the blade and spreading both hands, she pulled back and let fly another tornado, but this time it was made of both ice and fire. "S-so h-how many have we demolished?" She called.
~~~~~
"Conversion!?" Ai stepped back, unsure as to what was even happening. "I... I don't understand... what is it trying to do to me!?" Rushing at it, she threw out her palm and began to blast it with a powerful ray of light. "RAY!"
