The Chambers of the Queen [nsfw, 18+, X-Rated]

[Queen Bright]

Hikaru immediately clenched her eyes shut at the pain, mentally blocking out any such pleasure that her body would have. Was this man literally going to go through with what Lucifer had said? Just the mere thought shook her with disgust. Hikaru always knew she was walking a thin line between Hell, what with the orb and all. But she never expected anything like this. She had always thought that Lucifer preferred torture over something like this. "And I would rathe-"

"She would rather it remain that way." The voice of Hikaru spoke as a black cloaked figure appeared across the room sitting atop one of the dressers, the Ingrounded!Hikaru; which was made obvious when she threw down the hood of her cloak revealing her appearance to be the same, though clothed, "As would I."

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

Antonio looks up towards the dresser and sees the Ingrounded Hikaru. He becomes oddly relieved. "Gentlemen, looks like your expecttions will be met... I will attend to our new guest." he says before removing his finger from her area, but only to have it replaced by another demon, who began moving it in a rapid motion.

Stradivari stood up and approached the Ingrounded Hikaru. "Well, well, well... Im not sure but i do believe i have another Hikaru Tyris here... Am I correct?" he questions the Ig Hikaru in an oddly casual manner.

[Queen Bright]

The Ingrounded Hikaru said nothing as she jumped down and simply walked through him, almost like a ghost, over to the demons and her counterpart the Subgrounded Hikaru. Without a word she gave a sharp kick to the face of the demon defiling here counterpart and glared at the remainder of the demons, "You are correct," she snapped.

Having bit down on her own tongue to keep from showing any reaction, the Subgrounded Hikaru dared to open her eyes, "T-took you long enough," she choked. "Could you have made it any closer?"

"Just as I explained with the Aralang capture, If I am to call myself the most powerful magic user in existence, I cannot go interfering ever time that my counterpart is captured. There would be no challenge," The Ingrounded Hikaru knelt down and ran her index finger vertically down the chains, a beam of of Revelation magic trailing behind and breaking through them. She then threw off the black cloak she wore and threw it down to the Subgrounded Hikaru, covering her.

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

Antonio gave a sharp turn towards the two. "There is no escape Hikaru Tyris... Hell will be your tomb." he says to them as the black walls melted downm showing a legion of demons now around them. "I do find it odd that your magical abilities are still intact Hikaru." he strolled over to them as the demons who were holding down the SG Hikaru stood up with weapons ready.

"Im not sure what you're trying to accomplish."

[Queen Bright]

"My accomplishments?" The Ingrounded Hikaru laughed, "As I told my counterpart. I was originally not going to interfere. That is, until you crossed the line." At the appearance of the other demons, the Ingrounded Hikaru merely narrowed her eyes, "It is my body too, and I will not have it defiled!"

The Subgrounded Hikaru groaned. As she stood up she had to quickly catch her balance to keep from falling back down, her limbs having fallen asleep from the chains and being in one position for so long. Wrapping the cloak around herself and tying it in place so that it would cover her, she glared at Antonio as well, "Yes well, that would have been fine. HAD I HAD MAGIC TO DEFEND MYSELF!" The Subgrounded Hikaru nearly shouted at the Ingrounded Hikaru.

"I had not realized the magic was gone," the Ingrounded Hikaru admitted, "As being Ingrounded I still have my magic, I thought it was merely an Anti-Magic Field activated at the tournament." She then materialized the katana that the Subgrounded Hikaru had long ago lost and the Ingrounded had just managed to get back through a deal with the man who had had it, and handed it to her counterpart.

When the Subgrounded Hikaru took the katana, the both of them stood side by side and faced Antonio, "Try to keep us here if you like," The Ingrounded Hikaru taunted. "But I assure you, one way or another, we are leaving. The both of us."

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

He simply drew his own sword, and got into his stance, as did the Demons around them. "Lucifer wont let you leave... I guarantee that." He said to them. All around they could hear the growling of hundreds of beasts waiting for a fight. "Finish them..." he ordered. 5 of the lead demons rushed forward in a tight Close Quarters Battle formation covering all of their flanks that the 2 could possibly attack from. The rest simply stood by for Antonio's word.

[Queen Bright]

At the last minute the Ingrounded Hikaru grabbed the wrist of the Subgrounded Hikaru and jumped into the air, the both of them hovering above the demons and the room, "Lucifer has no power over me. As I proved the last time that I was here, I am in a higher league than him. "He has control over my counterpart, I know. Which is why I said that we are leaving together."

"After we take my soul back!" The Subgrounded Hikaru spoke up, the katana clenched in her hand as she glared at Antonio, "And find out his plans... I expected torture, but this? Just what is his game?"

the Ingrounded Hikaru nodded, "I would also like to know the answer to that..."

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

"Im not sure... you'll have to ask him yourself Ms. Tyris." he called up to them. "You actually just missed him." he brought his blade down from its stance realizing that they weren't planning on going mono-e-mono, but multiple demons decided to fly up and provide cover.

[Queen Bright]

"..." The Ingrounded Hikaru landed on the ground, face to face with Antonio, the Subgrounded Hikaru beside her. She stared directly in his eyes, "Then we shall wait while we find a way to remove that damn orb and can properly leave. Until then, do not touch either of us, or I will personally restart this battle."

The Subgrounded Hikaru glared at Antonio, "If you call what you just did and attempted to do humanity, then I call you insane." She took hold of one of the inner edges of the cloak and used it to further cover herself, looking at him with a cold expression.

The Ingrounded Hikaru interrupted after, "Do we have a deal?"

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

Antonio looked up at the demons, and arouns before setting his gaze back on the 2 Hikarus. "Fair enough i suppose." he replied. "But on the condition that you do not try anything beforehand, and remain under our watchful eye. Is that agreeable?" he asks.

[Queen Bright]

Both the Ingrounded Hikaru and the Subgrounded Hikaru glanced to one another before turning back to Antonio. "Elaborate." The both of them said.

"What exactly falls under trying anything? As I have already declared, we are going to try to find a way to remove that damn orb."

"And sorry, if I do not find being watched by demons exactly very safe," the Subgrounded Hikaru added.

"We also demand another set of clothes," The Ingrounded Hikaru muttered.

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

"Trying anything would include but is not limited to posing any kind of threat against South, or its inhabitants, or doing anything that isnt counted as patiently waiting." he says.

"You will be in my sight until Lucifer arrives... Im sorry if i dont find you 2 running around South very safe either." he says to SG Hikaru.

[Queen Bright]

"The set of clothes?" The Ingrounded Hikaru asked again. She then nodded, "Fine. Have it your way, follow if you must." With that she strode out the door of larger palace room in search of anything close to a library or archive. Something to tell her more about the recognition orbs and how to remove them.

"I still do not trust you..." The Subgrounded Hikaru stayed behind to glare at Antonio before promptly following the Ingrounded Hikaru. She sighed to herself as she walked, "This is reminding me all to much of my capture from the Aralangs... But at least they never attempted rape.."

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

He continued to follow them. "Please do mind that certain areas of the palace are off limits." he informs them. "And just to be quite honest, you weren't in Hell last time you were captured." he says in a matter of fact tone. Several Demons accompanied Antonio as he continued to follow. "But none the less, I have informed Lucifer that you wish to speak with him."

[Queen Bright]

"Off limits? I will go where I wish," The Ingrounded Hikaru replied as she led the way down the halls of the palace, all the while committing the area and the paths they walked to memory for in case they would have to make a speedy escape without magic.

At his comment, the Subgrounded Hikaru turned back to face Antonio, fury in her eyes, "I do not believe I was speaking to you!" She snapped, clearly offended. "And if I was, it was not meant to be answered." At that she remained silent and followed her counterpart.

After a few more hallways and turns, the Ingrounded Hikaru suddenly smirked, "Well I just thought of quite an amusing way to get back at Lucifer." When the Subgrounded Hikaru looked at Ingrounded!Hikaru with a look of confusion, she continued. "Remember what Kai pulled at the Plex tournament when Lucifer was away?"

The Subgrounded Hikaru caught on quickly, "Oh... that." She gave a short laugh. "That would be highly amusing."

The Ingrounded Hikaru merely nodded, glanced back at Antonio as if checking something, then looked back at her counterpart with a wink, "Indeed it would be." And with that she turned the next corner which led to none other than Radical's own throne room.
