The standoff continued inside of the realm Paulina controlled. Though this was her manifested reality she was only able to make the realm for now.
Though her realm sounds similar to a hollow zone they are quite different. A hollow zone is splitting the same area of reality into its own timeline, as if time stood still for the ones fighting inside of. The user cannot alter anything or create anything that's not their own ability just by using the hollow zone. It is just a safety net for fighting. A manifested reality on the other hand is all based on the users will and creativity. They can create anything they would like to inside of this zone as long as they're capable of controlling their own ability.
Back to the matter at hand. Stephany walked into the realm behind where Paulina and the hunters stood. She had her rifle leaning against her shoulder and wasn't wearing her sunglasses. "Thanks for letting me in here boss." She said as she blew a bubble with the gum she was chewing.
"Yeah I figured tagging each one of you with a little of my mana would allow you to walk in." Paulina replied.
"So what's going on here?" Stephany asked.
"These idiots won't let anyone kill the vampire queen." Said Dimitri.
"Then I'll just shoot her right here." Stephany said as she raised her rifle and took aim.
"You won't hit her, she's aware now that you're aiming for her, she'll evade it. Plus one of their abilities is black metal reinforcement. I don't know the others and obviously she is the vampire queen and apparently also a reaper." Cindy informed her
"Tch" Stephany clicked her tongue. "This is annoying me already."
Jakub stood facing Emily as she wiped away her tears. "I'm really sorry Emily, I just can't let anyone kill her, she's a friend."
"She killed Amaya's dad!" Emily yelled at him
"Her dad was a heartless! No matter how you look at it we would've had to face him at some point too." Jakub argued
Lizzy stood with hands by her side and began to open her palms. "Shadow weapons" she said as two sub machine guns appeared in her hands with a black shadow smoke on them. "Trinity."
"Yes?" She replied as she flew out of Lizzy.
"Can I cloak anyone aside from myself?"
"No madame and if you could there is no escaping this realm while the user has mana."
"So none of my vampires can get in here?"
"No."
With the hunters on one side of them toward the throne and Emily with the others on the opposite side toward what should've been a door but was just a wall in this world, they had nowhere to move.
"Face it, you can't get out of here." Paulina said to them.
"Jakub please… I'm begging you don't fight them." Emily pleaded
"You either Light, I refuse to side with anyone right now I don't want anyone to fight." Nicole said
"The hunters walk away if they choose to and Amaya I beg you to think about this. I don't want to fight you." Said Jakub
Light tapped her rings together summoning her conductor fist weapons. "Nobody has to fight and nobody has to die. But I've been under control by someone before and sympathize with her. I banished a dear friend of mine out of this world. Until she figures a way back here she can't leave her realm, well at least that's what I was told."
Emily and Jakub both were shocked, they knew Elena said a woman named Light had been the one that banished her but they didn't know it was this Light.
"You banished Elena?" Jakub asked
"Elena was very dear to me… a very good friend of mine. I refused an order from Freyja and that's when she took control of my twilight, which led to her controlling me. She used some sort of ability I didn't even know I could use, banishing her back to the underworld. I haven't spoken to Elena since, especially since gods and goddesses aren't supposed to interfere directly with people here unless they're servants." Light explained
"So that explains why Elena holds a grudge against you and why you think Lizzy deserves the benefit of the doubt." Jakub replied
Emily thought deeply about what she should do, should she side with Jakub or Paulina and hope that she can return to her world. "I've decided. How long do you think this realm can contain a black hole?"
Jakub began to smile.
"Nicole, step back, you too Amaya." Emily said
"What do you think you're doing?" Amaya yelled "If you do this I will have no choice but to kill you too Emily."
"You can try." Emily said while grinning
Emily stretched out both hands down by her sides. "Holes of darkness that consumes all, Black hole!" She shouted as one appeared in each hand.
"Did you really just chant? You did, didn't you? You just did a spell chant and summoned them, knowing all you had to do was make sure you focused on that ability. You're ridiculous." Jakub said laughing
"Oh shut up I wanted to look cool." Emily replied as she rolled the black holes around her hands to her fingertips and flicked them.
The black holes slowly rotated around the hall consuming the glass, the pillars, everything in the hall was being deleted from existence. They grew in size taking in more and more. The guardians were consumed and the throne went behind them. All that was left at this point was the little bit of ground remaining between the three groups. Paulina frustratingly grabbed the crown from her head and the realm dispersed. They had been sent back to reality inside the warehouse.
"Let's go Jakub, Light and Lizzy I think it was." Emily said while standing next to Nicole
"You're not going anywh-" Dimitri had been cut off by Eli digging his fangs into his neck and ripping his throat out.
Amaya zoomed across the room and decapitated Eli and caught his head. "I won't be forgiving anyone and I will be going with the Hunters. I see where your loyalties are and I will not be coming with you." She said as she tossed the head of Eli to Lizzy. "Looks like your little vampire doesn't burn up like reapers do, guess he doesn't get that option since you turned him."
"Amaya… I'm sorry but I understand how you feel. We're leaving, Paulina… I can't stay here like this to talk right now. We can catch up some other time but for now, we're on opposite sides. Don't die before I see you again, this world is cruel and full of factions we don't even know about yet, be careful."
Paulina nodded as tears ran down her face. "Be careful Emms."
"Oh also!" Emily snapped her fingers. "That should've removed the black holes from your realm, pretty cool ability you got there, be careful someone might steal it." She winked at her and turned to walk out with the group.
Paulina turned to Amaya. "So you want to be with us? Dimitri is dead so we need someone to replace him, what can you do?"
"I'm a former assassin." Amaya replied
