Celestial Zone 2.1 Fanfic Novel - Chapter 10: Weapons Mistress?

author's notes: "Hai" means yes in Japanese. "Wakata" means "understood" in Japanese. "Nee-chan" means elder sister.

“A fellow is looking for us, sis.” Reported Topaz, looking bored. “He’s been asking around, and getting answers. Pretty well-connected, I’d say.” She added. Topaz swished her mid-back length dyed midnight blue hair back in an attempt to rid the hairs flying into her eyes while she dealt with the computer.

Standing at 1.65m, at a sweet age of 19, and with a well toned figure, she could have been voted most popular girl had not her stubborn, straight-forward and tenacious nature.

Getting no answers, she turned around to fix her twin sister with an esperated look. “Can you at least be more concerned?” She demanded.

Sapphire, lying on the living room couch, replied without opening her eyes. “Hai hai. Wakata. I’m concerned…about when will I be sent out on my next mission. Staying at home is boring, there’s nothing to do except to slack. I’m pretty sick of training too, before you say that again.”

Topaz made a growling noise in her throat, much like a dog, turned back to the computer and did some rapid typing, wheels spinning in her head. Just then Amethyst, their “baby” sister, the youngest in their family, flounced into the living room, settled into the sofa and announced in a bright chirpy voice, “I’ve just completed Battle Rings Mark 4 Mod 22, Sapphie. They allow you to utilize up to 80% of your powers without any side effects other then the usual ESP exhaustion."

"You wanna try them out?” She added again after a wink and a finger pointing to the computer screen from Topaz, rolling her eyes.

Sapphire came up all in a bounce, her shoulder-length bleached hair doing a little bounce while her waist-length (hair )tail did a little flip. Two shiny black eyes sparkled with delight. “Oh really! Awesome! Haha! Thanks!” She proceed to try to give Ame a hug, only to be held at bay with a barrier that came up out of nowhere without any visible notice.

“I’m not a kid anymore, Sapphie. I’m 18 already.” Amethyst said irritably, visibly drained, both mentally and physically.

“You don’t look like one.” Sapphire replied back over her shoulder, already heading over to Amethyst’s workshop, striding tall at 1.68m. I’ll check over this guy who’s been asking all over for us, nee-chan.” She added.

Amethyst gave a shrug and muttered, “Yea yea.” Though at the age of 18, she still looked 14, standing at only 1.58m tall, her face a little chubby with baby fats and wide big doll-like eyes..

“It’s the pair of black gold with emerald twine rings, Sapphie!” Amethyst called out, then slumped into her seat, and promptly went to slumber land.

Topaz grinned at herself, “I knew it, I know you too well, Sapphie.” The screen read “Weapons Mistress has accepted the mission. Please forward mission details to her.” She hit the enter button and watch the mail being sent out.

The words at the top of the screen read, “ESProt”.
