A/N: Hey guys, here's a fair warning, for you. These chapters will start to get longer since it's in the war now. Also, songs will be more frequent since I've finally gotten to the point, where I can finally jot down my most favored imagined daydreams haha! Hope you enjoy! :D

-------------

Ruby and Rui's groups all hid behind bushes just under a cliff off the island. The boats were far away from them and so were the other Leaders. "Hey... Ruby-chan... When are they showing up? We've been waiting here for a while now, maybe a good-" Rui started, only to be interrupted by her twin.

Everyone was ducking and all squatted close to the ground. Ruby's wings were folded and her twin's wings got tucked downward. "I'm sure they'll start soon, any minute... They'll see the boats, then start attacking... Be on your guard," Ruby whispered in reply with seriousness in her voice. As if on cue, projectiles from the base shot out and flew over to the ships. The impact made the ground shake beneath their feet and emitted a loud bang. Both the twins winced at the sound and held their footing in place so they wouldn't fall. "As I said... They'll see the boats and start attacking..." She said before composing herself, seeing her sister give her a shaky nod. "Once the sky ambushers emerge, you and I need to go up there and take them all out. After that, we need to head to our destined routes... We...will have to separate... I believe in you Rui, I know you can do it... You have Illumi and Zeno to protect you," She said, trying to reassure her twin who she could sense unease from.

"H-Hai..." Rui whispered back, gulping in the process. Remembering something, she blinked and thought about what she had said to Illumi. Smiling gently, she bumped Ruby's forehead softly with her own and backed away. "Don't worry Nee-chan.~ I'll give them a taste of their own creation...~" Her expression was dark, her smile so gentle and shadow veiled over her narrowed solid bug eyes. Ruby's eyes widened, though, returned to their stern feature.

Nodding, she looked over at Hisoka then to Illumi. "Both of you... Don't die on me...got it...?" In a demanding tone, she made the Joker chuckle to himself and Illumi tilt his head.

"Of course Ruby gem.~ I won't die, who else will there be to protect my dearest doll?~" The joker mused, though, shut his eyes once he noticed her hand flying towards him. He felt nothing, he waited until he felt a slap. Still nothing... Ruby had softly planted her palm on Hisoka's face, smiling at him with loving eyes. "Hisoka..." The said Joker peeked an eye open, only to notice her expression. She leaned in and kissed his cheek, which alone surprised him and Rui both.

Hisoka's features turned a deep red but somehow hid it behind a passive smile. "Thank you..." That was all she said before turning her head to her sister. "The fliers are in the sky... Ready to kick some ass, Rui?" She questioned and watched her twin nod with a faint flush.

"Yes...!-" she got cut off by a voice, echoing through their earpieces.

Alright, Ruby, they're in the sky... Netero said that it's time to take flight. Milluki voiced in Ruby's earpiece.

Let's go Rui! Sir Netero said to take flight! The flying mutants are here! Yorkshire strongly voiced on Rui's end, both twins nodding and replying to their message.

"Let's go, Rui!" Ruby took out her rapier, remained in her squatting position, and swopped her sword in front like a fencer. She shut her eyes once she felt her twin grab her bicep. "Stay here and stay safe guys, we'll be back..." Ruby said to Illumi, Hisoka, Harris, and Zeno. "Thine light which held within the sword of spells... DISPERSE!" She chanted with a strong voice, making light engulf her and Rui, as well the small area they resided in. Once the light ceased, only the three infiltration Leaders remained.

 Far up in the sky, the view showed countless enemies running at the enhancers, like ants to sugar. Netero was seen running to the front lines with Chonz and a few of the Zodiac members. The chairman had clapped his hands together, making a large Buddha appear behind him, and swatted at multiple mutants who were insanely quick on their feet. Chonz kept puncturing the enemy's pressure points with one strike, killing them in that instant. Though he got ganged up on, so decided to use another technique that labeled him as, the previous war hero. He too clapped his hands together, but moved his arms and started to glow. His aura turned golden, veins in his arms defined and muscles tighter. He disappeared, then reappeared in the sky. Falling, he crashed into the ground, making it quake and rip up into chunks. He burst into a full sprint, tearing enemies up and uprooting chunks of land as he went.

Sikiyona was seen swinging her scythe, shooting out many ice streams out and slicing through rows of enemies before her. Silva formed two large spheres in his hands, shooting them out and causing an expanding explosion in the distance. Constantly forming and shooting them out, like energy blasts.

Siki slammed the tip of her scythe, masking the ground in white ice and freezing all the foes in its radius. She rose her white scythe, quickly twirled once and all the enemies crumbled into broken shards; her coat behind her gracefully swaying, as she did so.

Kikyo was in the background shooting out countless projectiles with blinding speed, getting headshots every time.

Ruby and her twin both watched from the sky, shocked at the huge mess of combat. Getting distracted, she almost got hit by a ranged attack from the flying mutants. She and her twin gasped, looking over at them. Ruby rose her free hand, tightened it into a fist, and formed her crystal shield, which nearly covered her whole body. "Rui, let's go!" She darted after the flyers with a battle cry. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" She gripped onto her hilt tighter, making sparks of white electricity coat her blade.

Rui grew a serious expression, then vanished with her incredible speed. With a single buzz echoing through the air, she appeared almost invisible due to her previous training. Each individual target she attacked, fell like a rock within mere seconds. Her form nowhere to be seen, yet they kept dropping like flies. Blood gushed out of her targets with each slice of her mantis claws.

Ruby sliced with her sword, fending off thousands of flyers who attacked her. She rose her shield, teeth gritted, and took all the ranged hits from the enemies. They were too distracted to notice Rui killing them off one by one, swiftly. The pressure of their attacks was overwhelming, trying to hold it all off as Rui cut them down. Just a few hundred left! She mentally shouted and braced herself. "RUI! MOOOOVE!" Rui's head averted towards her twin with panic on her features. She vanished and appeared behind her twin.

"YEE WHO DWELLS WITHIN THE HEAVENS, GRANT ME STRENGTH SO MY ENEMIES SHALL FALL!" She shouted in Shakespearean, making her transform into her silver, golden-lined, glowing armor; her four wings, now having an additional two with them. She held onto her shield, gripped her hilt tighter again, and chanted out her strongest attack thus far. She pulled her sword back past her torso, her arm and blade shaking from the building pressure. Sounds of electricity resonated as she channeled her attack, having a hard time doing it with one arm. "Thine light which held within the sword of spells... DISPERSE A VERTICAL RADIUS, OF PALLID JOLTS!" She shouted, right as soon as she thrust her rapier forward in a way to pierce someone. As soon as she jerked her arm forward, pointing her blade at a large number of flyers, a huge cone of white electricity shot out straight, wiping out all the enemies. Even those who shielded themselves with their own nen skill got fried by her attack. Screams sounded from the foes as the light from her shot lit up the dark sky.

(The song ends here, I hope it was long enough to match it! D: )

She dismissed her shield, straightened her back, and swatted her sword to the side, simultaneously making the pallid volts cease. Panting, her stoic eyes looked around for any remainders. Once she found that there wasn't any, she sighed in relief and turned to face Rui. "Let's go, we've got to help the others!" She stated rather loudly, that was until Mlluki's voice caught her.

No! Don't, Ruby! The enemies are distracted by the enhancers and you took care of the flyers, now sneak around the island and go to your destined routes... He muttered in her ear.

"Alright..." With a simple reply, she answered, before looking at her twin one last time. They stared at each other for a moment to savor their closeness and Rui smiled gently to her with a quick nod.

"Let's do this, Nee-chan! I have faith in you!" She giggled, making the hawk twin smile and nod in return. She swatted her sword, grabbed her twin's arm, and chanted her teleportation skill. They vanished with the light, appeared near Hisoka and the others, then looked at their group.

"Let's go, guys. Times to sneak..." Ruby demanded, she stood and so did her small group of soldiers. Shifter and Hisoka ran after her once she began trotting down the side of the island. Rui turned to her group, then to Illumi and Zeno.

"Let's not waste any time, Rui..." Zeno stated, making her nod with a frown. She flew into the air by an inch, then vanished. Zeno and Illumi followed suit, with their groups of combatants tailing them with great speed.

Ruby ran to the selected path, being directed by Milluki in the process. To your right, there will be enemies you'll have to take out. They're guarding the entrance to the route you need to take... The boy said in her earpiece.

"Got it..." Answering promptly, Ruby made a sharp turn to her right and ran into a large number of men.

Hisoka, Shifter and Ruby, all attacked the foes and killed them easily. Hisoka held two separate cards and sliced their throats, Shifter had two black blades in both of his grasps, stabbing, cutting, and slicing off their heads. His trench coat waved as he moved, gracefully gliding through the enemies with ease. Ruby being in her armor, shot out waves of light from her rapier, she too, cut through them like butter. The soldiers behind them ran ahead and killed multiple foes... Though...several casualties appeared and a few deaths. Ruby's eyes widened at her men getting slain and every no and then, brushed off. She grew furious, she didn't want this to happen... No... I WON'T LET THESE MEN DIE! She mentally shouted with sheer anger in her hawk eyes and gritted her teeth.

She brushed past Hisoka and Shifter, catching up to her men then rushed ahead of her group; skidding to a halt, she used the same skill as she used in the air earlier. She chanted with a strong and deep voice, then shot her vertical blast out. It killed nearly all of her targets, except fifty of them. She was panting again...with one eye open and the other one closed. "Hisoka, one more of my attack and I'll get too exhausted!" She rose her voice and stood in place. The said joker just chuckled to himself, walked past her, and vanished.

He reappeared behind all the remaining enemies, kneeled down, and attached his bungee gum on the ground. Ruby rose a brow at his action and so did Harris. She gasped slightly, knowing what he was about to do... He was gonna table cloth, flip'em into the air! The one technique she suggested that he'd try. The said man smirked, watching all the enemy soldiers turn and gasp at him. He rose his arms and flipped them all into the air, high above the pathway. They all screamed once they got sent flying, he was about to shoot out his cards until Shifter took out some long chains and whipped them both out at the falling foes. The sound of his industrial chains rang through the atmosphere and swatted out so fast that the Joker had mistaken them as projectiles.

His eyes widened at the sight, watching them fall and appear impaled in many spots on their bodies. Even Ruby turned to face the man in all black, shock written on her features. Harris just looked at them both and stuffed his chains back in place. Shrugging at their questionable stares, he trotted onward past the two and their group. "Let's get going!" He managed to spit out before completely passing them.

~~~With Rui~~~

Rui, Zeno, and Illumi all sped through their long path; their group of men keeping up with their speeds. Just due north, a large group of soldiers is guarding the midsection of the path! Cheadle announced to all three leaders, having them reply.

"Ok!" Rui said to Yorkshire, nothing but serious features on her innocent face. She got ahead of the group, lowered her arm as she flew forward, and conjured thick roots to faze from the ground. They pierced through all the foes, while Illumi shot out his needles and pierced their foreheads. Zeno used his Dragon head technique, shooting it out at all the enemies and killing them.

Rui kept dodging and swiping out her mantis claws, cutting up the foes by their necks. Using her nen, she increased her speed more and disappeared. Suddenly, all the combatants dropped dead, all that could be heard was her buzzing from her wings. Everyone stopped, Illumi, Zeno, and their group gawked at how fast she was. Zeno wasn't all too flabbergasted but Illumi was, yet he didn't show it; they all died, within a few passing moments. She reappeared in front of Illumi and her features held no emotion at all...though after all those enemies died off, her features turned back to their normal emotional state.

"Rui...you learned to lock your emotions away? I thought it was a mere bluff when you said you would become that killing machine for our sakes. Did you gain control over switching between the two?" Illumi asked, watching her tilt her head to one side in contemplation.

"Yes, it's easy! I've never tried it before but it's rather easy since I figured it out! All I have to do is erase my mind of all worries, most thoughts, and other emotions that would get in the way! The only thoughts in my mind when I switch to the killing machine mode is....well... KILL THE BAD GUYS!~ HAHA!" She shouted with a fist in the air. Zeno rose a brow at her, questioning her mentality.

"I see, good to hear you've gained control... Now let's be-" Without warning, something got shot at the back of Rui's head, making her stumble forward and fall face first. It was a dart that got wedged into her scalp. Illumi's gaze widened a fraction, not seeing her even make a stir. She was unconscious... The old man shifted his black eyes up to the culprit, a man in a lab coat hand a hand out as if he were the one that threw it. He wasn't Vince though, that he and Illumi, both knew.

"I'll take care of this man... Help Rui, take that dart out of her head." Zeno demanded, making his son nod and squat down to her level. He went to reach for it but...Rui shifted in her position, making him freeze his hand in place. Slowly, she stood up with shadow over her eyes and lips slightly apart.

"Rui..?" He asked, being the only one near him now. Zeno was ahead, fighting the scientist afar from them. Rui's hair brushed past her face, hiding her expressionless features. She rose her head, her wide eyes, and open mouth, acting as though she was being controlled. She was still unconscious yet dangerous. "Rui... Are you alright...?" He asked again in hopes of an answer and for her to snap her out of it. Though once he used his nen...he saw a purple nen link attached to the dart and to the foe...she was being manipulated...
