"94..97..100. Is it me or has the Grimm become weaker since we last attacked?" Gemma sighs in disappointment. Enertia had let Gemma control her in a deserted city ruin infested with Beowulf Grimm.

"You did have some trouble with that Mammoth Grimm" Enertia reminds her.

"Shut it. It was pretty massive and I couldn't find the weak points in time" Gemma tries to defend. "You tell me. How would you have killed that Grimm?" she challenges Enertia.

"A ninja never tells any secrets to her enemies, nor her allies. Ninja Creed verse 5" Enertia recites.

"Oh shut up with that ninja creed crap. This isn't the 1770s where ninja and samurai were a thing"

"If you learn by the creed, you live by the creed" Enertia recites again.

"Raah!" Gemma shouts in anger. She punches a Grimm in the face, a kunai blade between her middle and ring finger.

"You should really control your temper. High blood pressure can be dangerous for your health" Enertia teases.

"Shuddap. Bet you heard that from your green haired ex"

"More of a teammate. Plus he already had a companion by the time I met him" Enertia explains.

"Whatever" Gemma deadpans. "I'm tired of smelling ash and despair. Lets go eat something at least"

"For once I can agree with you" Enertia says taking back control.

---

"Did you hear about the recent police attack?"

"Yeah, about nine dead in total. Some people say it's a random attack too"

"Why would anyone go this far without a motive?"

"Maybe it's revenge for the attack on Beacon-"

Enertia slams her hands on the table, gaining a few stares from neighboring diners. She pays off the bill before walking out of the restaurant.

"What's biting you in the ass?" Gemma asks Enertia. She had bursted out of the restaurant for no reason..it so it seemed.

"Nothing for you to care about" Enertia deadpans.

"I bet it's something that person said. Something about..Beacon Academy?" Enertia shivers at the name. "So it is. Poor you. I feel your heart racing at the tragedy that befell upon your weak soul. Remember the black flood? The hate and demise. The evil lust and blood red eyes, waves after waves of torture and despair, and pitiful you just froze-"

"Shut up!" Enertia screams aloud. "Shut up shut up shut up!" She covers her ears trying to block out the voice laughing in her head.

A blue orb radiates brightly from around her neck. It stings Gemma from its intensity.

"Gah. Mother- What the hell is that searing light?" Gemma hisses. Enertia reaches to the orb and clutches in her palm.

"Something a close friend gave to me long ago" Enertia says standing up and regaining her posture. She raises the baby tooth to her lips and lightly kisses it.

"Gah! Stop stop stop it! Gemma screams in pain.

"Go to sleep now! Or I'll ingest it to kill you all the way through" Enertia threatens.

"Tsk, you know what will happen if I disappear" Gemma reminds as she falls silent and asleep. Enertia knew what she meant. She noticed a slight strain on her heart days after she was bitten. Gemma had intertwined herself with all of Enertia's organs, her whole body. If she somehow managed to banish Gemma when she was still inside her, Gemma would destroy her as the dying breath.

"I'll do it if it means Srav and others can live another day"
