Chapter 48:

Fabian, Fabia and Sabian

Ane And His Seames


Ane slowly blinked to consciousness. "You awake?" Ene asked. Ane sat up and watched around the room to see Ene staring out the window.

"I'm awake." Ane replied. Ene turned to his best friend. "Where are the others?" Ane asked.

"Sid is in the living room. He told me the girls went to do your mission apparently." Ene answered. Ane remained silent; eyes shielded. "You remember too, don't you?" Ene inquired.

"Yes." Ane whispered; clenching his fist. "We tried to kill him! Of course I'd remember!" he yelled angrily; hitting the bed.

"We were a being of pure carnage." Ene said; staring at his palm. A crazy smile spread across his face. "That power felt exhilarating!" he shouted; drool flinging from his mouth. Ane eyed him.

"I have no time for this." Ane said; hopping off the bed. Ene held his hand as he was leaving. Ane eyed the demon silently and Ene let go shakily; both their eyes shielded. "Condone yourself before the girls return, Ene." Ane advised before walking off.

Eina and Lana were watching the male villain who stood far across them; hands folded. Kerrick was still squirming in Eina's grasps. "Who are you?" Lana asked.

"The one you're supposed to guard him from if I'm not mistaken." Fabia; Fabian's third personality responded.

"Yeah? What about it?" Eina inquired.

"You're that sure of yourself huh." Fabian said sighing. Sabian the second personality laughed crazily as he pulled out a large sword from midair. "Rear End." Sabian said as he swung the sword idiotically.

"An..." Eina began as she turned but Sabian was instantly behind her; grinning with the sword on his shoulder. Slashed were heard as slice marks appeared all over Eina. Blood sprayed from the girl and she fell forward. Lana caught her and Kerrick jumped back.

"Is that all?" Fabian asked; turning to Lana to see water cover and then wrap around him.

"Drown." Lana growled; clasping her hand but this merely revealed that the sword was wrapped all around the man; protecting him from the liquids that simply splashed off. The sword then retook it's original shape and Fabian placed it in the ground.

"Remarkable." he commented; nodding. Lana frowned and Kerrick paced inside.

"Snot nosed brat." Eina said weakly; barely opening one eye. Fabian watched the girls calmly. He spun the sword which was still in the ground. 

"Clone Dance." he then remarked as clones of him carrying the sword appeared all around. He then picked up the original blade. "It's over." he whispered as his clones charged.

Kerrick ran into a bedroom where Lisa was untacking her shirt. She screamed and spun; kicking the boy into a wall. "I'm so sorry!" she yelled after.

"Sorry!? I'll you breasts for this!" Kerrick shouted. Lisa rose an eyebrow.

"Have me breasts?" she inquired. Kerrick went red.

"It was a slip of the tongue!" he blurted.

"Uh-huh." Lisa said; tacking her shirt with a smug look. "Why were you so spooked?" she asked.

"The villain outside!" Kerrick shouted.

"Well I'm sure Lana and Eina got it covered." Lisa commented. Kerrick laughed.

"Doubt it." he said. Lisa's vein showed on her forehead.

"What is it with you, you ungrateful brat!" she exclaimed; clenching her fist.

"Nothing really." Kerrick remarked casually. "Now go outside and be useful." he continued. Lisa clenched her teeth.

"Didn't your parents teach you manners!" she scolded; pinching the boy's face.

"Ouchhh...like I said earlier; those two were trapped in another dimension. Have been since I was four years old." Kerrick remarked. Lisa's eyes were shielded.

"So that's it huh." she said sighing and letting Kerrick go. The boy rose an eyebrow. "You're making that your excuse for being so self absorbed and bratty." Lisa said. Kerrick clenched his fists; frowning.

"How would you know! You have your parents I'm sure!" he yelled.

"Only one. He's a cheating and lying bastard. My mom was killed because of him." Lisa said calmly. Kerrick eyed her closely. "Just because you went through a great loss doesn't mean you have to be such an..." Lisa began.

"Ass." Kerrick concluded; smiling sadly. Lisa smiled back.

"Listen kid. We're gonna go out there and help the others. We both were assholes tonight; and I'm sure we're usually assholes if I'm being honest but...it's time to at least try to change that." Lisa said nodding. Kerrick nodded.

Lana and Eina were bleeding all over and they were eyeing Fabian; panting. "W-we're toast." Eina remarked.

"Come on Fabian; don't hog all the fun!" Sabian yelled.

"Be quiet." Fabian scolded before watching the girls who he then flashed to be blown away.

"W-wind." Lana thought. She and Eina turned to see Lisa and Kerrick standing in the doorway; grinning.

"Kerrick's...smiling?" Lana whispered.

"Another elemental." Fabian remarked; stepping forward.

"Fabian and Sabian." Lisa said.

"You know us?" Sabian asked; tilting his head.

"The man and his sword." Lisa remarked. Fabian grinned.

"Front End." he said pulling out a large sword from midair. He placed the swords together. "Duo Blade." he said; spinning the weapon. His elemental energy surrounded him and then blasted from the vortex the blade was creating. Wind thrusted Lana and Eina into the air and Lisa and Kerrick jumped out of the way. The aura followed Lisa who dove aside. She placed her hands forward and a huge gust of wind thrusted the aura back. It split in two and one end fired at Lisa, the other at Kerrick. Bark spun the boy into the air and water shoved away the aura. Lisa hit the ground and wind surrounded her for a split second; casting away the aura. Eina and Lana limped to the two. 

"We still have to protect Kerrick!" Eina yelled grinning. The others nodded.

"Hey I can't have cute girls protecting me; a guy." Kerrick remarked. Lana rose an eyebrow.

"So do something." Lisa said.

"I'll need your help." Kerrick said.

"Okay." Lisa replied; nodding.

"Red Elemental Style: Thread Bind!" Kerrick exclaimed; swinging his hand forward. Threat shot from Lisa's skirt and tied around Fabian. Sabian chuckled as the blade spun from the thread and sliced it away from him. He then jumped onto the blade which then pushed him into the air before flinging into his hands. 

"Air Strike!" Sabian screeched; soaring down and swinging his blade. The teens jumped back and the blade sliced the ground slightly.

"Hold up." Lisa called; drawing everyone's attention to her. "What happened to my skirt!" she yelled as she was now only wearing a shirt and panty.

"Oops...forgot to mention that." Kerrick said; turning away and whistling.

"You perverted kid!" Eina scolded; thumping the boy slightly on the forehead. 

"How sad." Fabian remarked as he charged Kerrick as the boy fell back. Kerrick smirked.

"Blood Bind." he said; shifting his fingers slightly. Fabian's body failed and he fell. The blade shot from his hand but vines wrapped around the weapon. Fabian eyed himself to barely see threads of blood injected in him. "It's over." Kerrick said. Fabian grinned and his blade enlarged and sunk into the ground; mist filling the area. It slowly cleared to reveal Fabian was gone.

"He...fled." Eina said; sighing.

"What's important is we succeeded!" Lana yelled; jumping up.

"Yeah." Kerrick added softly before passing out.

"Kid!" Lisa screamed.

Sid was staring at the television; hands clasped together. "I can't put my finger on it but...she looked and sounded familiar." he thought as he saw a flash of Abigail; Lana's mother. The front door opened.

"That was a pain." Eina complained as she and the girls stood in the doorway.

"We're lucky his "slave" is an experienced healer." Lisa added. Eina nodded.

"They're awake." Sid said casually.

"The boys?" Lana asked. Sid nodded.

"Ane's on the roof." he began. Lana ran off without another word.

"Ene?" Eina inquired.

"Bedroom." Sid answered. Eina ran off as well. Sid eyed Lisa silently.

"What?" the girl asked.

"Are you not gonna go after Ane as well?" Sid queried. Lisa's eyes became shielded.

"I'll let Lana have this one." she said; walking out of the house.

Ene was sitting on the window; staring at the moon and Ane was on the roof doing the same. Lana walked to Ane and Eina to Ene. "We tried to kill you." the boys stated gravely.

"It's okay." the girls said reassuringly. "That wasn't technically you." they continued soothingly. Ane and Ene shook their heads.

"It's not okay." they said to be hugged by the girls.

"All that matters to me..." Lana began.

"Is that you're alive." Eina concluded. Ene turned to Eina and she smiled before kissing the boy. Ane looked at Lana tearfully and she smiled and wiped his tears away.

"I'll forgive you no matter what." she remarked. Ane nodded and rested his face in the girl's lap as she sat next to him.

"Tell anyone we kissed and I'm deballing you." Eina said to Ene who chuckled.

"My lips are sealed." he replied to then smile sadly.

"You're feeling okay now, right?" Eina asked. Ene had a flash of his earlier interaction with Ane.

"Y-yeah." he responded. Eina smiled and hugged the boy.

Lance sat on the side of a skyscraper's roof; staring at a watch. "Almost time." he said; smirking. The man vanished into flames.
