Maji sat within his Mech Suit with the large skull face. He looked at Vivi. "Sir Ratchet has taken an interest in you," he said. He had a creepy look on his face. "He has ordered you to be his Queen," he added.
Vivi's expression remained cold. Her presence shifted. There was something darker stirring inside her. Without hesitation, she raised her weapon, her Gero Gero Gun. Vivi`s finger squeezed the trigger. A frog-shaped bullet spiraled through the air. The bullet slammed into Maji's mech with a punishing force.
The impact sent the machine staggering, its demonic skull horn snapping off.
Maji's breath hitched, a cough escaping his lips. He put his hand on the controls. "Wh-Why?!" he asked. "Sir Ratchet is going to take over his world. You can be at his side ruling it," he added.
Vivi lowered her weapon. She looked at him. Her eyes turned red and the pupils vanished completely. There were flames around her body. Her voice got deeper. "I am not his Queen," she stated.
Maji's breathing grew uneven, his fingers trembling over his controls. "You… you don't understand," he remarked.
He looked at the flames. She looked like a demon. The Queen of Demons, he thought.
"I'll have to use force," he said as he moved his hand forward.
At that moment, Vivi raised her sword. It started to glow purple. "Neo Beam," she said as she swung her weapon. She launched a blazing arc of violet energy. The projectile tore towards Maji's Mech Suit and hit him.
The attack ripped into the armor, blasting apart its mounted saxophones, shattering their structure and sending smoking debris spiraling into the air.
Maji gritted his teeth. "Why you?" he shouted.
Vivi took a slow step forward. Her flames burned hotter. "You insulted the person I loved," she said.
"Love?" Maji shouted. He laughed at her. "Ratchet Sir will kill him," he added.
Vivi smiled. "I asked Ben not to kill him since he is naive and I saw Roba`s pain," Vivi responded. "But that does not mean he will be spared," she added. She glared at Maji.
Maji felt a sweat drop from his face. There was something different about her now for sure. "Well, you will see him defeat," he added.
Maji's Mech suit thundered forward, its four legs pounding against the ground. The metal joints whirred as it gained momentum. Its broken-horned skull led the charge, its mechanical tongue slithering outward, like a beast ready to devour its prey. "Sonic Stampede," he said as he charged forward.
Vivi stood her ground. She held her grip firm on Succubane. She looked at him coming. She raised her sword. The Mech collided and was stopped in his tracks.
The machine strained. Its gears were grinding as its body refused to move forward. Maji's eyes widened, disbelief etched into his face. "What?" he muttered. She had stopped it, he thought. This woman stopped a large Mech charging towards her.
Maji pulled the lever back. The Mech suit jumped away and landed on the ground. "You will not stop this one," he said.
"Crescendo Crush," Maji said as the Mech's massive arms lifted. He swung its fits towards Vivi at full force.
Vivi reacted instantly. She raised her blade and intercepted the attack. The metal screeched and there could be sparks being senn.
Once again Vivi held her ground. The Mech's colossal arm stopped dead, unable to push past her strength.
"How," Maji questioned himself. He pulled the Mech back, retreating momentarily. "You can't win if you just stand there," he added.
Maji pulled a lever and he leaped into the air. His machine tilted downward. "Brass Cyclone," he said. The Mech came crashing down, its massive weight threatened to crush Vivi entirely. The broken skull leading the charge.
Vivi raised Succubane. She held it firm. She thought he was not going to give up.
The Mech slammed down. Vivi caught the full weight of the assault on her blade alone. The ground shook however once again she stood her ground.
Vivi glared at Maji.
Maji flinched. He pulled the lever back and jumped away. He gritted his teeth. "You may be a bit strong," Maji said. "However, Ratchet Sir will have you," he added.
"Encore Eruption." Maji said as he pushed a button. The skull mouth creaked open wider. Then flames burst forth. It went towards Vivi.
"Neo Fire," Vivi said as she dragged Succubane against the ground. There were sparks on the ground. The surface ignited into a swirling dark-purple flame. She swung the projectile forward. It collided with Maji's fire attack.
The room erupted in flames, the two forces battling in midair. Vivi's Neo Fire tore through, blasting into the Mech Suit itself.
The Mech suit caught fire. The flames spreaded across its surface. The metal had blackened.
Maji rolled the machine, desperate to stop the blaze and he managed to put the flames out. However there were red warnings everywhere. "You attacked," he said.
Vivi sprinted. She held Succubane high. "Touche Slash," she said as her blade arced and she sliced through the Mech's skull, the metal splitting apart. The head snapped off completely and crashed onto the ground.
Maji thought this was not good. He was about to move.
"Touche Cleave," Vivi added as she raised Succubane. She held it with both hands and swung the blade. It came down and slashed Maji himself.
Maji got hit on the chest. There was blood splattering out. He could feel pain ripping through his chest. His vision started to go. His body jerked violently as he lost consciousness. The Mech suit failed from the damage and it came down.
Vivi looked at the Mech Suit and sighed. She thought why do they all want them separated. She thought it was not the first time someone had threatened to take her or her sisters away. She loved Ben from the bottom of her heart. She was his and only his.
She walked towards the window and Shimagame was still trapped. She looked further and saw an island in the distance.
