Hell's Carnival has opened

Despite the fact that Cerbera was very hostile towards the Era of Hell all of a sudden, she didn't seem to finish Keiko off. However, the lights started to go down, there wasn't enough power to keep them on much longer. Cerbera could hear a storm approaching, the rain was already dropping on them and she quickly moved back to grab her umbrella, looking like she was going to leave but her eyes remained on Keiko, watching the tears falling down the girl's cheeks..

Cerbera stepped close to Keiko, looking down at the hands that reached out to her, kneeling down infront of her and holding the umbrella above Keiko, looking into her eyes quietly.

Thunder roared and a lightning flashed. Keiko simply stared at Cerbera, wanting to hear an answer, she just wanted an answer to her question. When it seems like Cerbera wasn't going to say anything, Keiko gulped so she can clear her throat, before yelling in front of Cerbera's face. "WHY!?!" She questioned again, those tears in her eyes now falling down her cheeks. "I thought... we were family... You were one of my most important people in my life... I... I don't want this..."

Cerbera brought her free hand up and idly stroked her thumb under the girl's eye to wipe away the tears, tilting her head to the side, wanting to say something but not finding the right words. " She pressed the handle of her umbrella to Keiko's hand to make sure the girl would take a hold of it, if she has done so she will pick up Keiko in her arms and guide her to one of the open stands, putting Keiko there first before getting Obsidia, Pearl and Yuriko to put them next to her.

Keiko just didn't move an inch. She wanted to hear an answer. But she didn't... She hesitantly grabbed the handle of the umbrella, and let Cerbera carried her to one of those stands to sit on. She then watched mindlessly as her friends' and sister's bodies were placed right beside her, not saying a word.

Cerbera took a few steps back to watch them, the rain pouring down on her hair and body but it didn't seem the phase her. This was supposed to be her hide out but sadly she was found out, turning to head for one of the other stands to grab something which seemed to be her old jacket she always wore. She hurried brought it over to Keiko and wrapped it around her body to keep her warm, leaning down to plant on last kiss on Keiko, which was on the lips time and handed her Cerbera's own phone to call back up with, stroking her hand a few times over Keiko's cheek before she walked back and tried to run off, only to be halted by a figure standing infront of her.. Dressed in a black cloak and underneath what seemed to be a black loose shirt, black skirt and black combat boots.

When Cerbera expected her face underneath that hood, she could tell it was Lute, who didn't seem happy anymore, quite frankly, she was the opposite. The type of expression that as only seen once when Lute was injured at Keiko and went berserk afterwards. The two stared eachother for a while, not one of them making a move but there was an obvious tension between them.

Keiko continued to look on at Cerbera, looking into those pure eyes of hers. It almost seems as if this was goodbye. Snuggling against herself as Cerbera wrapped the jacket around her kimono, Keiko silently sighed in dissatisfaction. But then, she gasped before the two kissed, closing her eyes softly to remember this moment, before re-opening them as soon as the kiss ended. She took Cerbera's cell phone, and nodded to her. "I'll... I'll be waiting..." She muttered, wiping the remaining tears in her eyes, before she saw Cerbera off, until Lute appeared in the girl's way.

Keiko slightly became alarmed. She knew that Lute was trying to stop Cerbera, but it's already settled. "L-Lute-chan... It's over! Please, just let her go!" She shouted from the stands so she could hear her.

Lute had never attacked someone.. Never, not unless they attacked her first. Cerbera and Keiko already knew that though even to Cerbera's surprise, Lute suddenly rushed straight towards her and tried to punch her straight in the face, Cerbera managed to duck low and jumped backwards, not quite sure if she should be attacking Lute even though Lute immidiatly went on for a new attacking, making Cerbera run past her and away from her, creating some distance between them.

Lute turned to look at Cerbera and chased her, trying to tackle her down when she would be close enough.. Just a few steps more..

Keiko's eyes widened when she saw Lute attacking her, something she slightly never expect. "Stop!" She yelled out, almost bringing herself up to cry again. When the two didn't seem to start fighting, she had to step in. Taking off the leather jacket and putting the cellphone away, Keiko quickly sprinted in between Cerbera and Lute, and faced the latter, spreading her arms wide in a defenseless position as a means to make Lute stop attacking, and looked at her with such serious eyes. "I said stop."

Lute did blink for a bit but quickly tried to bypass Keiko to go after the retreating Cerbera, not liking what Keiko was doing, picking Cerbera's side after everything Lute has done for them both, she felt like she was being the villain now but she didn't want to think about it, growling as Cerbera was gettng away.

However, Keiko would merely wrap one of her arms around Lute's waist and hold her there, using her other arm and wrapping around Lute entirely for a tight but harmless hug. "S-Stop!" She pleaded, watching as Cerbera used this opportunity to finally escape.
