A sisterhood is born.... (Cece)

Welcome back my dear Listener! Yes it's another Cece Chapter! Back to Back! Did you miss me? I bet you- What.....? You didn't? You much prefer my Brother!? That's...That's! Awwww! Thanks! I'm glad you care more about him than me honestly! Yeah I'm serious! Seriously serious! Cas Jnr really needs that.... if rumours are true, the shithole he's in right now makes my little escapades look like a cake walk! Well I'll need to ask whether that's true or not....

Anyways, the reason I'm in such a blissful mood is cuz.... Akasana agreed to my Proposal! Aliza and Bebe and Myself are gonna try out my plan to capture the Dasher girls..... Though there's a hiccup in the plan, Layla is also participating, don't get me wrong, according to Aksana she is a capable sorcerer, But the girl doesn't listen to anyone but the Mistresses, she thinks herself better than Everyone of us....

To be fair, so does Aliza, she's an Insectoid woman, A Cicada to be exact.... her body is mostly humanoid, save for her compound red eyes and her wings, She also has 4 arms and Bronish red carapace over her arms and legs, The Bug girl really likes to assert her dominance over her peers, she's taken a liking to me, not in the good way though, she finds every opportunity to challenge me to nonsensical tests of power she's knows I cannot physically win!

And to matters worse, when she got gassed like me, she got the ability to turn into a Wyvern humanoid, she's doubly annoying, trying her darn darndest to irritate me, What's worse is..... she looks cool! Seriously when she transforms into her Wyvern form, the carapace and the scales make her look like some bewitching alien warrior princess! She's glaring at me now, her arms folded and brows knitted, she wasn't to happy to learn she'd have to follow my orders during this operation.

In contrast, Bebe is quite pleased, remember the mouse girl Mistress Faraday tried to make an example of earlier? that's her! She kinda took a liking to me after I stood up for her, She's quite shy and reserved, she's also tiny too, I'm 5'11 but compared to her I might as well be a giant! She's a whopping 4'9, she also has light brown shaggy hair and reddish pink eyes with a long tail to boot, she's fond of weather baggy clothes to cover her figure.

I chose her because of her ability to transform into living weapons, Cutlass, Sword, spear, mostly melee weapons, I want her to complement Lizzie's fighting style. You name it, she can transform into it!

"Took you long enough, What? were you having difficulty changing by yourself my lady?" Aliza said dryly, her voice rattling in an inhuman like many, Bebe looked glum for some reason, I narrowed my eyes and glared at Aliza.

"Lizzie...." I cooed.

"It's Aliza!" she spat.

"No, I prefer Lizzie, much cuter to me!" I sneered, She scratched her red hair and stepped closer, getting ready to hit me.

"No.... you do not get to do that!" I yelled, I took a defensive stand and prepared to retaliate.

"Why not? why should I have to listen to my lesser? it's not bad enough I was interrupted from my training, now you expect me to listen to some kept little girl?" She sneered.

"Yep.... by the way I'm 4 years older than you! I don't want to hear this little girl nonsense!" I shot back, she stepped closer, she loomed over me, She patted me on the head with one of her left hands, I grit my teeth and clenched my fist.

"Lizzie.... remove your hand from my head.... now!"

"No.... it's-!? what are you doing? You think I'm afraid of some puny bugs!? if you-?!" She was saying until I had my minions dig into her flesh.

You see, I lost my Centurions when Cas Jnr and I switched powers, but in exchange I got something more valuable.

Nanomachines son! Hahaha!

Okay.... seriously, when the two of us did the switcheroo, my minions became an amalgamation of moths and yellow jackets, they being in their new form, gained the ability to reconstruct the form of any biological life they came In contact with, they did this by consuming plasma and rearranging their cells, I've experimented on rodents with them, some got stronger and others.....

"STOP! STOP IT! I'LL-"

"You'll what?" I sneered, right now my minions were stretching out Lizzie's limbs, contortimg them, twisting her neck and bending her spine, She howled in pain much to my amusement, Bebe was shaking, trying her darndest not to puke while Layla covered her ears and closed her eyes shut.

"Alright! Alright!"

"Alright.... what?"

"I'm.... I'm sorry just make it stop please!"

"No....."

"You bitch-!? AAAAHHHHHH!"

I have them twist her torso some more and shatter her shoulders, Normally this should kill anyone! But.... I have them construct an extra organ, a unique one that gives her constant regeneration but also increased her nerve sensitivity tenfolds! It's times like these I'm glad I majored in Cell biology, her screams are really something! There's a rule groove to it! My lips curl up in a smile.

"P-Please.... Cece... I think she's had enough!" Bebe pleaded, I glared at her for a moment, she jumps back in Fear.... ouch! That kinda hurt my feelings.... only a bit though! I sigh and reluctantly set Lizzie back to normal.

"You.... you.... I'll....." Lizzie said while glaring at me, her voice was cracked and pained, I step forward pat her head, Her twists in rage for a moment but she calms down soon after seeing me summon some more minions....

"I don't like you very much and neither do you like me.... but both are asses will be in trouble if we don't cooperate, you get?"

"I didn't wanna be here to begin with!"

"And so? That will matter little to both the Mistresses, I'm gonna be punished for failing but so will you, doesn't matter one bit how you feel really," I cooed, Lizzie glares at me intently.

"You two... w-we need to hurry up before sunrise, The Dasher Girls, their defenses wi-" Layla was saying until I looked at her, she kept silent immediately and stared at the ground, considering I used her as demonstration for Aksana, I get why she's so scared of me.

I sighed and offered Lizzie a hand, she brushed it away and stood by herself, I shrugged and leaned against a nearby tree.

"Listen up!" I yelled, The three girls gathered around me, I explained my plans to them.

It was simple, I act as a decoy, Distracting the Dasher girls, I'd implant some of my minions in the girls, they'd get their abilities amplified by them, Lizzie would handle Kami with support from Bebe, Esther and Layla will do well.... what sorcerers do and.....

"This is going better than I expected!" I was astonished, this plan is going smoothly, Kami is on the ropes and- What? you're saying I skipped a couple of scenes? I should explain how we suddenly reached the Shack so fast and how we ambushed the Dasher girls? Why!? I don't want too! I'm soaking wet and tired already! Can't we just pretend it's some awesome- what? no? you want to hear all of it? Fine.... I'll give you the summary.

We walked 3 miles to the Shack, I hurled some insults at The Dashers, they hurled some back, Bebe got through the fence as a massive mallet falling from the sky, Layla blessed with enough spells to easily shatter the wards Esther set up! Lizzie followed suit and Bing bang boom! We're bringing about their Doom! Yep we went in loud! Guns ablazing!

What? More details? You want to hear everything from the scent in the air to the crunch of the grass? But..... why? Come on.... how about this, I'll get some snacks and drinks from the Shack and describe the ongoing battle, that seems fair right? What? I'm not participating? Of course not! Why should I? That's kinda the whole reason I got those girls in the first place! I'm a lazy scum? I take that as a compliment dear listener!

"Ohhhh! They had Bourbon! Awesome!" I scream in glee! I take a glass and pour some, I snatch a couple of crackers and sit by the porch and observe.

Kami, the blonde, she transformed into some gargoyle creature, she's trying to rip apart Lizzie's wings, I'm surprised those two can fly so efficiently in those storm, anyways Lizzie decks her and goes in on flurry of offense, A scratch, a claw, a stab, a punch, she even grabbed Bebe whose now a glaive and went in for the kill!

"Oooohhhh right in the splash zone!" I cheered, Lizzie sliced off Kami's right wing, sending her hurtling right to the ground! Kami groans and rises to her feet, she's in her normal form now, there's a bottle in her hand!

"Not so fast!" I yelled, I brought out My Smith and Wesson from my pouch and shot the bottle outta her hand! Fun fact the Smith and Wesson is called a Virginian here for some reason.... what? you don't care? That's.... fair I guess. Well whatever that bottle was, it's gone now.

Anyways, Bebe turns into a Sledge hammer this time, Lizzie hurls her straight at Kami face smashing her nose to bits!

"You fools! I thought I told you to keep her alive!" I yelled, Lizzie glared at me, "She's tough enough to survive that, see she's still breathing, look!" She said, Kami.... is breathing, heavy though, she looks to be in critical condition, "She'll live...." Bebe who is now in her normal form chipped in.

I shake my head in exasperation and scan the environment, Esther and Layla are having some sorta of duel? I guess you could call it that.... all their doing is transforming the other into some strange beasts or the other, lions, seals, elephants and the like.

They up the anty by moving into the abstract objects territory, I'm talking sculptures and paintings, signboards, balls and.... well you get it, Anyways, it's kinda bizzare watching, I guess Layla won because she turned Esther into a goldfish and the old gal isn't hurling anything back at her....

"Good job everyone!" I clapped, Lizzie looked pissed for some reason, "You...." She muttered, I tilt my head in confusion, this enraged her the more and I end up laughing despite myself.

"Why.... are you like this?" Lizzie asked, her voice full of pain.

"Hmmmm.... if I'm not, you wouldn't take me seriously now, would you?" I said while giving her a nasty smile, she shuddered.

"Now look.... I don't wanna.... look Girls.... I wanna make a proposal," I staggered, trying to find my words.

"Wh-what is it?" Bebe asked.

"What.... did you think about the power boost?" I said.

They had complicated looks on their faces, "It.... was nice, I've never felt this powerful before," Bebe muttered.

"It.... the cost I don't like it, Delilah and Dany have better quality," Lizzie said.

"D&D? I thought you despised those two?" I asked nonchalantly.

"Doesn't mean I don't recognize their talent!"

"Would you prefer to work with them then, if given the opportunity?"

"....."

"I thought so, what about you Layla? This involves you too!" I yelled, she was shaking, "I-I..... it's great, I don't mind the drawbacks, all we need is some medicine to make up for the lost plasma!"

"No need for that, I'll train my minions to construct some new organs and bone marrows yo make up for blood loss," I suggested, they frowned at this.

"What's your game Cecelia? why use us as your guinea pigs? This.... was rather easy, you'd have gotten the same outcome with anyone in that camp..." Lizzie said, I chuckled at this.

"Bebe.... you've got a good head on your shoulders, why'd I pick you guys?"

"..... You wanted us for.... our abilities?" I shook my head.

"H-How about our.... Status?"

"What do I care about the politics of Merpeople? No offense Layla,"

"None taken, I... don't blame you...."

"Okay.... then it has to do with the hierarchy in the camp!"

"Bingo! Look.... girls, none of us really have a high standing amongst our peers, D&D look down on us, so do the so called royals and the Fatedealers too! Aksana is an exception but we can't count on her good graces all the time can we?"

They slowly shake their heads.

"Now.... look, I'm proposing this, let's form a team, a sisterhood if you will, I'll help you guys get to better social standing in our camp, better gears, better missions, better Status overall, if you help me also..."

"Help you with what?" Layla asked reluctantly, I grinned.

"All I want is to find The Rainbow garden!"

"...why?"

"The only reason I got sent here is because I got tricked by some of it's... not so kind residents.... me and my Brother got separated because of them!"

"So.... revenge?"

"Retribution!"

"Why.... do I sense that's not the whole story here?" Lizzie asked while furrowing her brows, I shrugged, "Who knows... there might be something more.... but that doesn't matter now does it? These two, The Dashers might know something about getting there, if they don't well I'll have to keep looking.... I need your help, what do you say?"

Bebe.... whispers something to herself before walking over to me.... Layla sighs and does the same.

"Lizzie?"

"... Do.... will I have to serve you as some lackey or something....?"

"No.... I really don't care about stuff like that! Just.... don't betray me is all I ask..."

She stares me dead in the eye, "I'm in!"

The four of us share a drink to commensurate our new sisterhood.
