Things were quickly heating up, and if anyone knew any better, placing a Black Waltz in a desperate situation was next to plain suicide. Zeni knew this. He also knew that the key to defeating this thing was to defeat it FAST before it got any ideas.
Unfortunately, the Dovescape put quite a dent on his current fire power. For one thing, he could do nothing but watch as his manna-bound twin double-ended blades dissolve into a flock of doves.
What was a mage/alchemist/vampire to do in such a situation?
"Hey....just wondering...what exactly are those folks in the black robes over there doing?" Aaron asked, patting Zeni on the shoulder. A number of doves, product of the manna he had spent on his Diamond Edges, had taken to perching on his head and shoulders.
"Them? Oh, organization XIII." Zeni shrugged. "And since when were DITE agents capable of Shinigami attacks?"
"I believe the term is bankai." Eterna supplied, patting one of the doves that had taken to perching on the handle of her katana. "What now?"
"Well, the bankai would probably finish off the Black Waltz." Zeni said calmly, watching Epsilon's blade dissolve into what seemed like thousands of pink, sparkly cherry blossoms. "If not, then we'd have unleashed hell. Black Waltz don't take defeat lightly."
"Is it ok for us to stand about idly here while Epsilon, Legacy, Abramczyk-sensei, and Campbell-sensei all fight?" Eterna asked, letting the dove take flight to safety.
"While Epsilon's bankai is in effect, it would be a good idea not to attack rashly. Besides, do you know why a Black Waltz is CALLED a black Waltz?" Zeni asked, turning around to face the other, empty end of the rink.
"Because....you don't mean...?" AMM suddenly gasped as the shock of realization hit him.
"There are three of them?" Eterna asked, raising her blade.
"Well, most likely there are many," Zeni said, reflecting upon his past encounters. "but they always attack in groups of three, hence the name...."
The wall before him exploded inwards, forming yet another hole in the already crumbling structure.
"...Black Waltz..." Zeni finished, taking out a number of phials and bottles out of his apparently bottomless trouser pockets. "Man, I hate it when I'm right."
Hundreds of small, black forms with glowing yellow eyes poured in through the hole, followed by two prominent figures, dressed in Black Waltz fashion, both seemingly wondering about the doves they kept on spewing.
"Time to pull real bunnies out of hats." AMM shouted, taking out a top hat.
"I'll take the two Waltzes, you can take the little guys." Eterna said, marching forwards, katana raised.
"Seriously....my first day of school...." Zeni sighed, positioning a phial filled with bluish white liquid in between each finger. "Somebody up there hates me..." He sighed, shaking his head.
