Chapter 167: One Bad Apple Part 2 (2/2)
Iris stared onwards floating her cubes darting back and forth. Her blank expression staggered into a sinister smile. ”Good. Better to cut off the tumour then let it grow any further.”
”What?!” Team Rhapsody yelled.
Hans stared at his daughter is shock shaking his head. ”This can't be… How was I so blind to not see this?”
”What is he talking about?” Zinnia yelled.
Alton bit his lip gulping. ”That isn't Iris anymore…”
Iris turned to Alton giggling. ”Correct. Twins who could have imagined by soul and mind split in two. In front of you Eve Hawthorne. And then there's me the one above all stages, they call me Salvation.”
”No, that can't be,” Eve whispered. ”I am…”
”Out of your league dear sister of mine. Always so hellbent on holding us back! Well, I think that ought to change around here. There's a new star in Frizzle Tooth, I will be the next number one streamer. Iris Hawthorne. But worry not dear sister. I still have uses for you.”
”Oh no, you don't!” Scarlett barked, letting out a focused explosion the attack vanished leaving Iris unharmed. Scarlett flinched stepping back. ”Impossible!”
”Did you honestly think such futile attacks would have any effect on the likes of me?” Iris taunted calling upon dozens of cubes. ”I have no time for weaklings if I am to wake the others Eve and I are that ticket. So, Team Rhapsody this is goodbye.”
The manor was bombarded with meteors leaving no chance of survival as a worn-down Eve was flown away by the cubes. The dust settled as Team Rhapsody's demise was postponed by the combined work of all of them to destroy the almighty artillery of attacks. Each of them was exhausted as Alton dragged himself through the rubble. ”This couldn't get much worse…”
”What the hell is going on?!”
Hans coughed lying in the rubble dumbfounded. ”Was all my hard work for nothing? I focused on the wrong child? How could I make such a mistake?”
Alton stood over Hans picking him up. ”You've got a lot of explaining to do.”
Hans scrunched his face up, blowing Alton back with vines. ”I have no such feat to fall to your level. The Garden has blessed me with two unmatched daughters one's who powers rivals none. This is the way to achieving my goal!”
Alton coughed standing up. ”I've had just about enough of this shit. I'm taking you down right here right now!”
”Not alone, you aren't,” Gale spoke standing alongside him.
Emil smirked patting Alton on the back. ”You've hogged enough of the villains to yourself already. Pokiero, Paradox and Eyes over Reality. How about you save some for the rest of us?”
”We'll help too.” Zinnia said.
”No. You and Scarlett go after Iris. There's no time for all of us to waste here. Go.”
”But!”
Scarlett pulled Zinnia away. ”The boys can handle this. Let's go.”
Alton punched his waist a few times, letting out a sigh. ”There's never any rest for the wicked is there?”
”You can say that again.”
Emil crushed his knuckles smirking. ”Well lads, we've taken down the Garden serval times now, how about we add another one to the ass-kicking pile.”
”Fuck yeah. Let's finish this, for Alice and Iris.”
