Seacats Tea Party Chapter 4

Battler: 'THE HELL!!! YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS!!!

Battler was furious. They were in the tea party room again. Battler tried to grab Bernkastel but she wasn't there when his hands should have reached her body.

Bernkastel: *cackle* *cackle* *cackle* AHAHAHAA!!!! Did you think I would be that careless? I won't let the last "miracle" to repeat itself.

The witch was referring to their previous battle when Battler surprised her and managed to hit her in the face. She laughed like a maniac while appearing behind Battler and taunting him.

Bernkastel: So? What do you think about the ending, Battler?! Wasn't it a fitting ending to this story?

Battler: No! This was...fucked up!........Ange, oh.......

Tears appeared on Battler's cheeks.

Battler: My sister.....I will never forgive you!

Beato: Battler, I won't pretend that I know how you feel. But please, get a hold of yourself!

Battler: G-Get a hold of myself?! How?! In a situation like this!! I would have been fine it was piece-Battler meeting that horrible end, .......or any other piece for that matter! I am used to that!! But Ange,.........

Beato: .....You are upset and you have every right to be. But try to remember who made this tale!

Battler: Huh?!

Lambda: Beato is right. Bern may be a meanie because she showed you the ending but she didn't make this game!

Bernkastel:..............Tch. Why did you have to spoil my fun?

Battler: That's true. The one who made this disgusting story was a goat, not you. But still......you won't get away with making fun of Ange's death!!

Bernkastel: I was hoping you would say something like that. But tell me, oh high and mighty Endless Sorcerer! What are you planning to do about it?!

Battler: AH!

Battler repeatedly hit the table with his fists. He realized he was powerless against Bernkastel. He had no means to fight back against her.

Battler: Damn it all!!

*Thump* *Smack* *Thump*

Beato couldn't watch her beloved one in so much pain. She had to turn away her head - if she tried to calm him down, that would have probably made him even angrier.

Lambdadelta was giggling along with Bernkastel. She was excited at the sudden turn of the tea party and eagerly awaited what would happen next.

Bernkastel:....So, Ushiromiya Battler - what will you do? Are you just going to keep on throwing tantrums like a spoiled baby? *sigh* I guess you need some more motivation.

Bern clapped her hands and Ange's corpse appeared out of thin air. It landed on top of the table that was in front of Battler. She....had no face.

Battler: UHH!

Battler wanted to say a lot of things...but only a small voice came out from his mouth. After all, his dead little sister was right in front of him....and her head was a bloody pulp.

Bernkastel: It's horrible, isn't it? It makes you want to cry, right?! It makes you want to kill someone, right?!!

Battler: You bastard...why don't you just...leave us alone? ....Haven't you tortured us enough?! When will you be finally satisfied?!!

Bernkastel: *giggle* *giggle* If you have to ask me that then it is obvious that I haven't tortured you and your precious family enough! *cackle*

The witch of miracles clapped once again and the corpse started to move.

Battler: !!!!

Ange: O-O..........On.....ii-chan......

Battler: AGH!! Ange!!

The girl could barely speak since all her bones and teeth in her face were shattered to pieces.

Battler: A-Ange!!....Ughhhhh....You....You can restore her, right?! Do it!! Damn it!! Do it or you will suffer the same fate as her!!!

Bernkastel: *giggle* Now, now..do you really wish for that?.......Have it your way, then!

Bern clapped her hands for the third time and.......Ange's face was....normal. It was the same beautiful face that Battler liked to look at. The face of an angel.

Battler: O-Oh! Ange, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry that I couldn't do anything. .....I am the worst brother in the world. Please, forgive me. Oh!!

The boy reached out to her little sister....but......at the moment he touched her cute face...........

Battler: WHAT THE FUCK?! UUHHHHG! Ange!!!!!!

.........that face melted away. Like a candy that was left in the sunlight on a hot summer day.......it.....mellowed......

Battler: Yo--------uuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!

Battler threw away his cape and charged at Bernkastel. ....But it was useless. All useless!!

Beato: Battler, don't make a fool of yourself, please! You are doing exactly what she wants you to do, can't you see it?!

Battler was chasing around the witch through the entire room. When he thought he had her by the tail....she teleported to another part of the tea party room.

Battler: I - WILL - KILL - YOU!

Bernkastel: Oh, really?! If you are so certain then why don't you say that in red? *cackle* *cackle*

Battler:........ku..........

He knew he couldn't possibly kill her. It was impossible. They were on whole different levels compared to each other......but still, Battler's fists didn't rest. They continued to hit....the empty air.

Lambda: Wow, that last one sure was close!! Don't give up, Battler! It may take you a few thousand years to land a blow on her....but don't give up!! *cackle*

Battler: Shut up!! This isn't a game!!

With that said, he suddenly closed in on his target.

Bernkastel: Uh, what?! How---!!!

Battler's fist was incredibly fast. It far surpassed the speed of an ordinary human's fist. Bernkastel couldn't hide her surprise and fear....the fist came closer and closer to her face....and then.......

Bernkastel: ---laughable!!!!

*splash*

Battler: Ah......................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beatrice and Lambdadelta's faces both were overcome with emotions. However, while Lambda's face showed amusement and joy, Beato's face reflected a mixture of pain and pity.

Because the one.......whose face - it really couldn't be called a face anymore - Battler's fist hit.....................was Ange.

The fist went right through the bloody pulp that was Ange's head......and her body fell to the ground.

Battler was the slowest to realize what was going on-- and when finally realized whose blood was on his fist and his clothes.......

Battler: A-N-G-E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...........he broke down crying. He was on his knees and shook his head over and over again...He wanted to erase this memory.......from his mind.

Bernkastel: *giggle* *giggle* Ahahaha! Is that how you treat your little sister??!!! Oh, wow..........This sure was rough, even by my standards....*cackle* *cackle*

Battler:.................................

Beato: Battler!!..........Tch, you.........I won't let you do as you please anymore!!!

Lambda: Oh, you want to join in Beato? This will be one fun afternoon!! *giggle*

With that said, Lambda made some popcorn appear and started eating it.

Bernkastel: Oh-oh! Sorry, sorry! Ahahaha! I didn't intend to upset you, Beato. I just came to have some fun with Battler. *cackle*

Beato:................

The witches looked into each other's eyes. .......In the end, it was useless. Beatrice had to step back. After all, Bernkastel was protected by Featherine. Angering that mighty and powerful witch wouldn't do them any good.

Bernkastel: That's right. Back off and watch from the sidelines!! That is the only duty of a good wife!! *cackle* *cackle*

Lambda: Bern is sure a tough one to deal with~~~~ That is one of the many reasons I love her so much.....

Bernkastel: Hm? Oh, what? You are still here?

Lambda: Ugh!! Bern, don't play the meanie again!!~~~

Bernkastel: Whatever.....Hey, everyone. Why don't we listen to Ange's thoughts a little?! *giggle*

Battler: !

At that moment, Ange's corpse began to tremble. Her face was restored slightly - to be able to speak. It was still a bloody meatball but at least it had a form - unlike after Battler's fist hit it.

Ange:----Onii----chan...........I-t......HURTS.......s----o....M..u..Ch.......

Battler: AGH!!

Ange:......W---hy?.......Why......d...Id.....you.....h--it....me? It........hUrTs.....so....muc---h.............

Battler: ..........Ange, I'm.............

Bernkastel: All right, that's enough. You can go back to being the useless meatpile that you really are!

With that, Ange cried out in pain.

Ange:...UWAG!!!!

With that last noise, Ange's head lost its form again ---and became the mess her own brother caused!!

Battler: DAMN!!!

Battler cried and hit the ground again and again.....while the witch laughed at his misery.
