Mighty White Peony finale

I flinch as the glass cracks a bit, leaving the door unlocked and unguarded.  The figure hadn't noticed me backing away from the door  as it continued it's assaulted.  With a loud crash, they had broken through and the door swung open, with their head stuck in it.  Again their body had gone limp for a brief moment, but picked themselves back, this time with a creepy...laugh?

"Kehehehe..."  Shaking uncontrollably the hooded figure pull their head out of the door, and turned to face me.  Sure enough it was Chika...smiling creepily at me, body concealed in a ragged brown cloak.  She was wearing sandals similar to mine, and her legs were completely exposed and bruised.  I could see bits of white cloth in her tattered robes, and her head was mostly hidden by her half torn hood.  Her face was pale and covered in fresh cuts from the glass, as pieces fell from her face.

"Chika, what the hell has gotten into you!?"  I really hope this is some sick joke or prank, this is ridiculous.  I tried looking her in the eye, but she began lookin me up and down, as if looking for something.  I feel sick just having her look at me like this, but I don't want to make any sudden movements, the last thing I want to do is set her off somehow.  Another creepy laugh left her throat as her gaze fixated on my legs.  A huge smile crept up on her face as she started shuffling toward me.

In the distance I hear another crash, shortly followed by Ram screaming.  I foolishly turned around to call out to the twins and Mina, but before I could, Chika made her move.  She was surprisingly quick with her tackle, knocking me off my feet, and readjusting herself facing away from me.  She seems...mostly harmless aside from her depravity...and her clawing at my ribbon.

Why do I feel bad whenever I think about even raising a hand at her?  A sad Vert keeps popping up in my head whenever harming Chika crosses my mind.  Aside from being extra creepy she isn't doing much...although I should probably get her head checked out.  I hear her sniffling as she grabs my ribbon and stops trying to take it off.  I take this chance to sit myself up and try to talk her down a little.  Taking a deep breath, I wrap my arms slowly around Chika and lean forward, resting on her back.

"Chika..."  I just have to treat her like the twins and talk calmly, and try to get find out what the problem is.  Whatever that other crash was, Mina should be able to handle it, she's hasn't had a chance to loosen up in a while.  "You know you could have just said what was on your mind if I was pissing you off."  I only need to talk things over nice and slowly, and treat this as if it were a really, really big tantrum.  "Mhm..."

She managed in between her sniffles, tears dripping onto my leg as she also moved her hands from my ribbon to it.  "You didn't have to send all those letters either, I would've been willing to listen to you had you spoken up.  We didn't mean to hurt you like this, Chika..."  I hug her tighter as I prepare my next choice of words.  Her heartbeat was unusually quick when I first started hugging her, but it began slowing down, hopefully as a sign that this problem will be gone soon.

"...it's just, you and Vert just don't share the same kind love of as we do."

She froze.  Her heart had stopped, for an instant, before she tightened her grip on my leg.  "That's why..."  Shivers ran down my spine, and I immmediately pulled my other leg out from under her.  "...I'll be..."  I have no choice but to use full force, and kick her off of me.  She rolled away toward the front entrance, laughing all the way.  "...I'll be her Blanc!"  She screamed as she bolted out the door, throwing her cloak to the side.

Seconds later I hear a loud engine revving up, followed by a...a horrifying cackle.  I drawn my hammer in time to defend myself as Chika comes crashing through the door, taking out at least half of it.  Her weapons engine roars as it clashes with mine, giving her the edge in our power struggle.  A gust of wind from the widened door blows through, clearing out the dust from Chika's destructive re-entry, and with her cloak gone it became obvious she's gone mad.

It wasn't just my sandals she was wearing...she was also wearing my dress and jacket, although they were far too small for her and horribly maintained.  Her hair was even cut short, trying to emulate mine, but it was sloppily done and she looked like a deranged lunatic...which isn't too far off considering the situation.  I was too distracted by what she was wearing to notice the her comical looking mallet that was grinding against my own.  A familiar looking mallet that was powered by...a jet!?  "What the hell is this supposed to be Chika!?"  I yell out as I try to fight back against this...questionable weapon.

"Vert loves Blanc!"  She screamed revving the mallets engine, forcing me to exert more strength.  I have to avoid hurting her seriously at all costs, but I can't let her continue like this, someone will eventually get hurt...but that's the last thing that'll happen here.  "So Chika will be Blanc!"  The engine was roaring even louder now, emitting an unsettling amount of heat.  It's whirring was getting louder and even more higher pitched, rattling as she continued to use more force.  "If Chika is Blanc, then Vert will love her!"
I've heard love makes you do stupid things, and to think that what I'm about to do is for Vert's sake.  "Gh, Chika, she still loves you!"  "LIAR!"  I start holding back to give her a little edge in our power struggle.  I only have one chance to pull this off, and I have to make it convincing or else...  "Chika, get a hold of yourself dammit, you're gonna-"  As she retaliates with even more pressure I pull my hammer back, throwing off her balance and momentum.

Chika tumbles into me, with a distressed look on her face as the mallet goes twirling past my head, beeping and crashing in the other side of the room.  I catch her as she falls and end up on my back with her trembling on top of me.  "Vert...love me..."  She picks herself up and stares at me a with blank gaze, sliding her hands up my body.  Even though she's smiling, her eyes are void of any emotion.  "Why won't you love me Vert..."  She said as she wrapped her hands around my neck.  I reach out to her, but I stop myself short...I've truly gone soft.  I should be pounding the shit of her, but her being human on top of being Vert's oracle stops me from even thinking about it.

She must exhausted, wielding that monstrous piece of equipment, to this unhealthy obssession with Vert's attention.  With what little strength she has, she tries choking me out, but she's so drained it's almost pathetic.  She can't even lift my head, but still she goes through with her...attack, mumbling Vert's name and cursing mine.  She slows down and releases her grip on my neck and collapses.
I gently push her off to the side and make sure she's not up to anything.  As soon as I place my hand on her forehead she snatches it and puts it on her cheek.  "Mmm...Blanc, why won't you share...Lady..."  Is she...sleeping?  How the hell is that even possible?  "Hmhmhm...sharing is...caring..."  She moaned as she rubbed my hand on her cheek.  "What the hell!?  Don't include me in your..."  "I don't mind you getting most of her Blanc...just...share...a little..."  Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to indulge in her weird fantasy...if only to avoid another...whatever the hell this was.

"Lady Blanc, is everything ok?"  Mina asked, rushing in with twins in tow.  "Everything had gone silent, and I feared for the worst!"  "You thought I was-"  "You?  Goodness no, I was afraid of what you'd do to the culprit!"  She looked down and too her surprise, saw Chika peacefully slumbering.  "Mina, what was that crash earlier?  Did something happen back there?"  With a smile she tilted her head, and shook her head.  "It was just Ram being a good sister is all, right?"  I turn my attention to her, and she simply nodded her head.

"Ooh Vert, Blanc is out like a light...let's..."  The rest of her sentence was nonsense, but it was clear that she had something...lewd in mind as she giggled and licked her lips.  An awkward silence took over the room as Mina quickly escorted the twins out, leaving me with a rather amorous, sleep-talking Chika.
