When Hibiki heard the slime woman's words, she hesitated for a moment. The Nexus was a wartorn place, so much so that it wasn't unusual to see soldiers as young as children involved in the fighting. When she saw this green-haired girl Hibiki thought that she was just another soldier, set to this battlefield to kill just like they were. But to hear that she was essentially the child of the current Leader of hell... That was something that Hibiki couldn't pass up. Shizuka on the other hand cared very little who the little girl was or what the slime woman said. Shizuka stood between the two with her sword pointed towards the blue woman. [color=6ecff6]"All I see is a little girl. And you, a monster."[/color]

Just then Endian stormed in and proceeded to unleash a storm of electrical attacks at the slime. Shizuka would use this opportunity to get the girl and the strange frog creature to safety. Shizuka ran over to the small girl and her doll, lifting her up and returning to Hibiki. Lowering the two carefully to the floor Shizuka looked up only to see Hibiki level her weapon at the girl, causing Shizuka to shield her. Her shield grew large enough to completely cover the girl from any of Hibiki's bullets.

[color=6ecff6]"Hibiki what are you doing!?"[/color]

[color=f6989d]"We do not consort with demons, Shizuka. I don't know what drove you to save that girl, but she's not ally of ours. She's a demon, and there's only one thing we do with demons. Now step aside Shizuka."[/color]

The two sisters had a tense standoff, both unsure of what their next action should be. They knew that there were angels incoming, but there was a demon right here. Shizuka tried to reason with her sister. [color=6ecff6]"This girl is no threat to us Hibiki, and we have bigger problems to deal with right now. Lower your gun and let's find a way to keep moving instead of fighting!"[/color] Hibiki however remained steadfast, never wavering her rifle. [color=f6989d]"You heard it yourself. She's a spawn of the leader of Hell. I don't care if she is a little girl or a walking corpse, she needs to die."[/color] The two twins glared at each other, just waiting for the other to make a move.

As the two continued their stand off, a dark orb approached them. Neither moved as the orb spoke to them, promising power and telling them that their leaders were fake, puppets in a grand game. This person, Helena, was offering a chance to rebel against them. This made Hibiki glare at her sister. [color=f6989d]"... Was this your plan all along? After you got stronger you decide that... You don't need the Machina anymore? Queen Eos?"[/color]

Shizuka shook her head and remained steady. [color=6ecff6]"I don't know what this person is talking about, but obviously they intend to divide us. She's saying this just to make us fight each other, instead of focusing on the true enemy."[/color]

[color=f6989d]"Of course..."[/color] Hibiki pointed her gun upwards. Shizuka lifted her shield slightly. [color=f6989d]"We should be focusing on our real foes. The ones right in front of me!"[/color] In a flash, Hibiki rolled a grenade underneath Shizuka's feet. Shizuka only had a moment to react as she slammed her shield over the grenade in order to suppress the explosive force, but it was still strong enough to send the blue-haired maid crashing into the ceiling.
