Chapter 9: Scorpio

"Emma you should run away." "What are you saying, Elizabeth, I can't do that we're in this together remember? If you die I die."

Elizabeth chuckles while she coughs up blood, "I'm losing consciousness," Elizabeth said to herself. "Thánatos where are you?"

"Elizabeth, stay awake. She's going to die any moment now and so are you, so why don't you just give up?"

Emma stands up and said, "give up? Don't make me laugh. I'll defeat you right here and now. Fire magic fire ball."

Amy stop the fire ball with just a finger and reflects it back at Emma. The attack blows Emma away, Amy walks over to Emma and steps on her head, "now die fake bitch!" "Is this it? Am I really going to die?" Emma said to herself. "Elizabeth I'm sorry, it was my fault I shouldn't have told them to let us fight our shadow self. I was just happy, Elizabeth forgive me."

Emma then remember what Elizabeth once said to her when she was younger.

*no matter what happens I'll never abandon you even if it means death* .

"That's right, how could I forget what you said to me? I won't abandon you even if it means death." "Zodiac magic, Scorpio rising!" Amy got blown away.

Emma stands up, a tattoo of a Scorpion appears on her right hand.

**Meanwhile**

"Do you feel that sister? It seems like one of the keys has awakened," said Thánatos. "We should hurry up brother, I can't sense Elizabeth's mark anymore." "What??!! Thánatos shouts.

"I'm not going to die, and I'm going to protect Elizabeth." Amy gets up and attacks, Emma stops Amy's attack without moving a finger. Emma punch Amy in the face send her flying towards Thánatos and ZOI who had just appeared on the battlefield.

"Look at Emma's arm, a tattoo appeared brother." "It seems like Emma has awakened her power said, Thánatos. "You think a punch can stop me?" said Amy. "Who's that? ZOI asked. "That's princess assassin, Elizabeth's shadow self." "Why don't you rest Emma, we'll take care of this. By the way, where's Elizabeth?" Emma points to her left and said, "she's right over there," ZOI walks over to Elizabeth and heals her. The power that Emma gained vanishes and she fall on one of her knees trying to catch her breath. "You did great Emma. Let me take over from here," said thánatos.

The place got so silent, you could hear a needle if it drops. The two stands on opposite sides of the battlefield.

"Why do they call you princess assassin?" Thánatos asked. "Because I'm a princess that kills."

"You're a princess and I'm a king, why don't you marry me?" "Don't make me laugh. Who would want to marry you?" Amy replied.

"I like girls like you but I guess it's a shame that you have to die today, but at least let me give you a kiss that will devour your soul."

"Brother don't say such things." "Sorry sister." "Whatever, I'm hungry by the way so just end this so that we can go home," said ZOI.

"Stop the chit chat," said Amy, "and fight me." "Do you really want to die so badly?" Thánatos asked.

"The only one who's going to die is you." Amy dashes towards Thánatos and attacks him with a kick. Thánatos grabs her by her foot and toss her to the side "των νεκρών μου φέρνουν την ψυχή της." (minions of the dead bring me her soul) Mummies appears on the battlefield and attack. Amy counters them with a water technique.

Zoi attacks Amy, Amy backflips and kicks ZOI, "she's good," said zoi. "But not good enough," Thánatos replied.

Amy attacks with fire magic, flame bombs. "That's huge," said ZOI.

Thánatos smirks and says "καταβροχθίζω." (devour)

Something then came crashing into the ground.

"What was that?" Thánatos asked. ZOI runs over towards whatever came crashing.

Pearl attacks ZOI, "when did she reach here?" Neró appears and block the attack.

"I'm impressed. I didn't know that we had strong fighters here, but it doesn't matter how strong you are because I'm stronger. Amy do you need my help or you can handle it on your own?" "I might need your help," Amy replied.

"Sister do you want you want to help me fight them or do you want me to handle this on my own?"

"You handle it brother, imma check on Elizabeth and Emma."

"Ok I understand. Neró protect my sister." "You don't need to tell me that."

Thánatos walks over towards Amy and pearl and says, "the assassin and the mad doctor. Let's begin."
