I'm Gonna Send You Straight to Hell

My group and I headed towards Baruia and stopped seeing two women ahead. I looked at them and noticed it was Aranei and Artemis. I stopped my horse and looked at them. Zofia held onto me tightly.

"Artemis! Aranei!" I said.

"Stella." Aranei nodded.

"Stella...I know it's too much to ask...but please forgive us for what we have done to your kingdom all those years ago...Kill us if you--"

"Shut up..." I got off my horse and walked towards them then held their shoulders. "You two did nothing wrong from what I remember...in fact you secretly tried to help her...my target is King Corvis for now.."

"O-Oh, he's just up ahead..the Kingdom is oozing of Holy Order though..I don't know if you're gonna be able to handle them all..one of them has Divine Protection." Artemis said.

"Yeah, and the one who has the Divine Protection is King Corvis. He has an Ancient Arms called Dawnless Revenge. The entire army in Baruia is immune to all elements so the only way to get passed this kingdom is through assassination." Aranei said.

"That's nothing we can't handle." Saya said.

"Yeah, just leave it to us--" I paused as I got a call from Zain. I answered it. "Yes, love?"

"We are headed to the Kingdom of Uphelia and gonna wait at the rendezvous point. Izumi sent it to Vivi." Zain said.

"Alright. Make sure you stay alert." I said.

"Right, see you when you get here." Zain said. "Love you."

"Love you too." I said then hung up.

"Zain?" Aranei asked.

"Mhm, they are headed towards Uphelia as we speak. We should hurry and take care of Corvis. Everyone else, take the hidden routes. I'll go alone to Corvis. I don't want us to waste any time in this Kingdom." I said.

"Right!" Everyone said.

"Zofia, are you gonna be okay on your own?" I asked.

Zofia looked at me and nodded slowly. She summoned a phantom samurai to ride the horse and she smiled.

"Fwend ride horse!" Zofia said.

"Make sure fwend keeps you safe.." I said then ruffled her hair.

Inside the castle...

"You said the Nightmare Assembly is in Baruia? Heh..I have a little birdie I want to reunite with." Corvis said. "Fetch me this girl."

Corvis held up a picture of Miyuna. The guards nodded.

"Knowing Stella, she will come alone so leave her be. Take the hidden routes." Corvis said.

"Sir!" The guards saluted then marched off.

I made my way towards the castle and noticed there were no guards in the area at all. I stayed alert though and checked every corner to make sure no one would ambush me. As I made my way towards the castle I heard beeping and checked my device and saw some dots disappear.

"What the hell..?" I stopped and looked at the device then Victoria called.

Your Highness! Miyuna and Saya! They've been captured!" Victoria said.

"What?!" I yelled.

"We can't get back--"

"Victoria! Come in! Victoria!" I stomped my foot and dark aura surged from my feet. I called Kotome, but no answer. I called Vivi and she answered.

"We're taking heavy damage..! They ambushed us!" Vivi said panting.

"Those f*cking cowards..!" I said then dashed towards the castle.

"Let me go! Let Saya go!" Miyuna struggled.

"Quiet down b*tch." The guard said.

"You don't talk to Miyuna like that! Oh you're so lucky you put me in Aura Cancelling cuffs. I would've mopped the floor with you worthless scum!" Saya lashed out.

"You sound like that worthless bastard Stella." The guard said and threw them inside the throne room.

Saya and Miyuna fell and looked up, seeing Corvis smiling at them. Miyuna had a flashback and scooted back. Saya looked at Corvis and scowled.

"Well well we have Saya here also?" Corvis chuckled.

"Corvis..." Saya glared.

I landed on the top of a building and scouted out the guards then vanished and appeared behind one guard and stabbed him in the back five times then snapped his neck. Red lightning slightly sparked from my eyes then I appeared behind the next guard and turned him around and stabbed both of his eyes and cut his neck open and vanished.

"No one messes with my sisters and get away with it...no one.." I whispered and a guard turned around.

I covered the guard's mouth and stabbed his neck 10 times and another guard came behind me and I dodged his attack then stabbed his nutsack and grabbed his neck and slammed my palm against his face until he stopped breathing.

"King Corvis! Stella is on the scene and she's DANGEROUS! She's using assassination techniques you only see in other lands!" A guard said, scared.

"You are under my protection, eliminate her using magic." Corvis said holding Miyuna's hip.

"That's the thing! Your protection ain't doing sh*t to her! She literally is bypassing the protection!" The guard said.

"Hm..?" Corvis looked up.

"Yeah you f*cking bastard. Stella bypasses all Divine Protection!" Saya said.

I began to smile as I kept assassinating more guards. I jumped on one of the guards and snapped his neck and used his body as a meat shield then pushed the dead body towards the other guard and shoved my sword through them both. My dark aura was surging wildly and I softly laughed.

"Kill...Kill..Ki--" I paused and heard Lunaris's voice.

"Calm yourself Stella..! You are not here to slaughter every enemy you see! You are to save Arcania and kill Zephyr and the Emperor." Lunaris said in my head.

My aura became calm then I looked at all the dead bodies on the ground and my eyes glowed. I did all of this and nearly lost myself. I took a deep breath and continued towards the throne room.

"Well no matter I'm here to have my fun..with my two new sla--"

I grabbed the guard's face and drained his energy then forcefully threw him into the wall, killing him. Corvis looked at me and smirked. I looked at him and glared.

"Hello Stella...you look like you're in a bad mood.." Corvis chuckled.

"Stella!" Saya cried out.

"First you help kill my mother...now you're taking Saya and Miyuna away also..?" I growled and red lightning crackled slightly.

"Cry me a river...I could care less about your dead mother or what I did in the past. I did my job and now my reward is the beautiful girl I have in my arms." Corvis chuckled.

"You little.." I took a step forward.

"Ahh ahh.." Corvis held a knife to Miyuna's neck. "We wouldn't want to do anything wreckless now would we.."

"Stella...forget me...just go towards Uphelia.." Miyuna said.

"I made a promise..! I'm not leaving you! We are to travel different lands together..I don't want that to be just a dream!" I said.

"Please Stella.." Miyuna closed her eyes. "Just leave me."

"Seems like she wants to stay with me." Corvis smirked. "I don't blame her.."

I looked at her and red and black lightning surged around me. I did not want to lose Miyuna also. I didn't want to lose her nor Saya. I already lost my true self...the family I've been reincarnated into..I closed my eyes and balled my fists.

"Aww..what's wrong Stella..? Are you sad Miyuna doesn't want to go with you anymore?" Corvis taunted.

"Shut...up..!" I growled.

"Stella calm yourself!" Lunaris said.

"I mean who can blame her? I'm just the perfect man for her." Corvis laughed.

"Shut up!" I yelled and lightning surged around me.

"I'll send you an invite to our wedding." Corvis said.

"Shut..." My heart thumped and my eyes turned white and lightning surged wildly around me.

Everyone was shocked and I appeared in front of Corvis then pushed Miyuna out of his hands and stabbed my sword into his face. I drove my sword into his head until the hilt of the blade stopped me from pushing any further. Saya and Miyuna looked scared and I glared then turned back to normal and fell to one knee and panted. The dark aura filling the room vanished. Saya and Miyuna crawled towards me and helped me up.

"Stella.." Miyuna said.

"I'm not losing anyone else...I refuse to.. especially neither of your two..I love you both too much...to lose you." I said. "You're my family...I just can't imagine a world with one of you missing...I would literally die.."

"Stella..?" Saya looked at me.

"I don't want to lose anyone else.." I tried to hold back my tears and thought of Tomoka, Aaron, mom and dad. My heart got heavy and my body fell weak. "Please...Gods don't take anything else away from me...Haven't I lost enough already?!"

Saya and Miyuna saw me breaking apart. I choked on my words and my breathing became heavy. They held onto me and didn't know what to do. They just sat there and cried with me. Victoria made it to the throne room and saw me, Saya, and Miyuna crying. It's been forever since I last cried...I lost my past self the moment I became a Dark Queen...I've tried to make my new self like Risa..but now it's like Risa doesn't exist and all I am is passive aggressive. No matter how much I wished to see my old family again, they are nothing but a memory now...Why am I thinking like this during the last stretch of this war..?

"Stella...I'm so sorry..." Miyuna hugged me. I hugged her back quickly.

"Shut up.." I held her head and sniffled.

Victoria watched me and noticed how much I've changed. She smiled and walked up the stairs to check up on us. We looked at her and smiled, wiping our eyes. Victoria sat down with us and we rested and talked for a bit. The others set up camp and rested.

Meanwhile at Uphelia...

"Dammit..! How am I losing?!" Haido grunted.

"Haido escape the battle!!" Lisseth yelled.

Sechs dashed to Haido and slashed. Everyone stopped and Haido froze. Zwei looked at Haido then turned back into her human form. Sechs pushed Haido's body and his head fell to the ground, followed by his body. Lisseth covered her mouth and nearly threw up.

"Mission complete." Sechs said. "Target location, Uphelia Lab. Mission: Save Seiba." Sechs said.

"On it." Zwei dashed off quickly.

Sechs walked off, dragging her sword on the ground. Lisseth prevented herself from throwing up and retreated towards Uphelia Lab.

"That was Number Two and Number Six..Sechs and Zwei..they are here trying to save the other Templars." Sol said. "We should wait for Stella to come before we decide to ambush. Let us set up camp in the forest.."

"Alright." Zain nodded.
