Kaiden stood in the middle of the Moon-Thread lawn with his family ringed around him and turned Yunohana’s advice over, the reactor and the laser gun, a cold that could be aimed instead of spilled.
"Thanks for the advice."
"My pleasure." Yunohana bowed to him from the veranda steps and went in to dress for the council. The lawn was theirs.
"Alright." Kaiden rolled his shoulders. "Let’s find out if I can point this thing at one of you and leave the other alone."
Calypso understood before he had finished saying it. She crossed the ring to Luna and planted herself there beside her, axe up on her shoulder.
"I’m the enemy, Darling," she announced, then her eyes turned sadistic. She licked her lips. "The terrible demoness is about to gobble up your foul-mouthed, small-titted girlfriend."
Every atom of warmth left Luna’s body. "Bitch, what did you just say to me?"
"You heard me, little girl. You’re mine!" Calypso laughed, getting into her role far too much.
"We’re eating a real fucking delicacy today!" Luna growled, [Stormblade] materializing. "Haughty demon bitch sashimi!"
"That’s the spirit, pipsqueak!"
The two lunged at each other.
Kaiden breathed in, and this time he tried to aim.
The cold went out of him as it always had, in every direction at once, and he leaned on it, trying to fold a room’s worth of winter down to one red demoness. It went about as well as folding a river.
It reached the two of them and the grass between, and stopped there. Luna’s blade winked out mid-flicker. "Wha-! Kai, I’m busy teaching her a lesson! Stop messing with me!"
The hum died in Calypso’s axe as well. "What, you can’t do anything without your magic, pipsqueak? Should mommy only use her hands?"
"I don’t need magic to beat the shit out of you!"
Two women with nothing in their hands met at full speed in the middle of the lawn, and the smaller one bounced.
"Fuck!" Luna cursed mid-flight.
"Bwahaha!" Calypso caught her by the leg before she hit the grass and held her up like a kitten. A severely hissing kitten.
She dangled Luna for good measure while laughing. "You have no magic, but you have your speed. What made you think a head-on clash with me was a good idea?"
"Argh!" Luna shouted, doing her best to kick the demon.
"Sixty percent mana," Alice chimed from the halo. "Big Brother, perhaps it’s not possible."
He let go, the lawn came back warm, and the axe started humming again in Calypso’s fist. She dropped Luna. But despite dangling with her head toward the ground, the Storm Valkyrie did a flip while falling, landing on her feet.
"Any last words?" Luna spat, already back up.
’We can’t say it’s not possible after only one try.’ Kaiden wiped his palm on his thigh and breathed in. ’All my other stances needed mastery, but after getting used to them, they offered me freedom in their use. I don’t see why Envy should be different.’
<Hmm... If you say so.>
He had the shape of it now, or thought he did, a cold pointed like a finger.
He pointed it at Calypso.
Luna’s Stormblade died in her hand.
"KAIDEN GREY!!!!!!!" the gremlin screeched, betrayed to the core. Especially as Calypso’s fist reached her stomach, sending her into the air.
"Ohohoho!" Calypso’s laugh climbed into a register she had clearly been saving. "The hero has chosen a side, little one! This gorgeous demoness charmed his heart and he switched sides!"
"He did not choose you, bitch, the hero just has a 0% accuracy stat!"
