Orchids

Let us keep on remembering.


Wow! 150th post! :)

-----

Yiernoshi scowled at Yixin.



Yixin raised an eyebrow, looking at Yiernoshi's flame.



"Your flame attribute is the Sky. That's pretty rare, kid. But whatever. I'm gonna finish you up. The Cloud Guardian is still outside."



She sent a wave of blue flame towards Yiernoshi. When the smoke cleared, the lollipop was now pointed at Yixin.



It was square.



She sped towards Yixin.



What?! Yixin thought. She's even faster than before!



Yixin tried to swipe Yiernoshi, but kept swatting empty air.



"She's like a fly! So annoying."



She clicked her ring into a box. Out flew a few fat gold coins, engulfed in blue flames.



They headed for Yiernoshi.



She dodged, only to find that they followed her.



"Homing bullets, huh."



"That's right! You can't dodge!"



"I won't, then."



Yiernoshi landed on the ceiling (standing upside-down), and swung her lollipop.



A crackle.



Yiernoshi held the now-frozen coins in one hand, the other holding the now-triangular lollipop.



"I've had enough of you. You tried to kill my friends. Unforgivable."



Her eyes narrowed.



"I'll deal with you."



Hanging on her neck by a chain, the Carbonara Ring burst into orange flame.

-----

Christine stared at the ring on her finger.



Imagine a flame. Turn your determination into flame.



Christine smirked slightly.



"Tch. I've always been determined."



She concentrated.



"Now, to turn it into flame..."



Mineo was getting bored.



"Into flame..."



Christine squeezed her eyes shut.



The Carbonara Ring on her finger ignited, producing a roaring red flame.



Mineo looked at it.



"Hmm, that's a storm-type flame. Like mine."



Christine dug out the box she had taken from her future self's satchel.



"Now I should be able to open this."



Mineo freaked out.



"She had a box all along? Then, I'd better strike first, before anything bad happens."



She began to charge.



Christine clicked the flaming ring into the box. It opened, surrounding her right arm in a pillar of flame. When it cleared, sitting on her arm was a gun-like device, with a skull in front.

"A skull? So...so cool!"

Words began to form above the skull.

"Feed...bullet? I don't have a bullet!"

She rummaged around in her pockets, while running away from Mineo's attacks.

"Hmm...I was planning to save these for an emergency, but I guess this is an emergency, so..."

She slotted a stick of dynamite into the device.

It shot a huge ball of red flame at Mineo, effectively scorching her, blasting her into a bulldozer.
-----
Yixin stood, staring in shock. Her coins had been frozen? No way. This was too much of a coincidence. This brat...somehow...she was reminiscent of...

Carbonara the Fourteenth.

Whatever. She dismissed that thought to the back of her mind.

"Here I come."

She charged forward, staff at the ready.

Yiernoshi blocked the blow with her lollipop.

Yixin's eyes widened.

Ice was slowly creeping up the staff, freezing the flame...impossible!

"Goodbye."

Yiernoshi's fist contacted with Yixin's head.
-----
Christine looked up, to see a figure in black holding a frozen staff fly out of the warehouse roof, crashing into the bulldozer Mineo had landed on.

"Good work, Fourteenth!"
-----
Back at the base, Sam looked at the four gravely.

"So you've come over from the past too."

"I wanna return to the past!"

Christine waved a crumpled piece of paper around.

"I've finally understood what my future self meant in this letter. Please hear me out."

"Gather the Guardians. With the Carbonara Rings, defeat Mistan. Eliminate the guy with the glasses in the photograph. Everything will return to as it once was."

Sam nodded.

"The Carbonara Rings do not exist in this era. Therefore, this letter is addressed to all of you, holders of the Rings. If we do as the letter says, we will be able to return to the past."

"Really?"

Sam nodded.

"On the brighter side, Kah Yunn has identified the man in the photograph. He appears to be Mitong, one of the Irritato Tomato's squad captains."
-----
Somewhere in Tutipore...

The sound of boots clicking down the hallway were loud in the deafening silence.

"Mineo and Yixin? From the 3rd squad?"

"Yes. Apparently, they got into a squabble and injured themselves."

The man with the glasses sighed.

"Not like it's never happened before..."

"Should you punish them?"

"Not like they'd listen to me, an officer from the other family. I'll speak directly to the captain of the 3rd squad."

"She should be inside this room."

"Right."

He pushed open a door.

A voice came from the darkness.

"Who's there?"

"Captain of the White Tomatoes 2nd squad, Mitong."

"Oh! Welcome. I'm the captain of the Black Tomatoes 3rd squad, Rayu."

Mitong nodded.

"Eh...regarding the case of Mineo and Yixin..."

"Oh, that. Please forgive them, on my account?"

"All right. But please remind them that nobody will cover for them next time."

"Mm."
-----
Kah Yunn put on her cloak. Picked up her goggles.

Sighing, she prepared to sweep out of the room...

...but stumbled into two figures outside her door.
