"Suiseiseki's Rosa Mystica will not be handed to the likes of you, desu!" While she stalled for time, she started trying to think of a way to get out of the situation. But considering that she is trapped in Suigintou's N-Field, escaping would be a difficult task indeed.
The other doll gave an amused chuckle. "Cute as ever, little sister. Making a final stand like that. We'll see how long you can keep that up when you lose a limb!" Suigintou drew back the sword to make an attack but that turned out to be Suiseiseki's chance for a brief reprieve. Acting quickly, she summoned a golden watering can which happened to be slightly less than 30% full.
"JADE DREAM!!" She grabbed the can and swung it to spray some water on Suigintou.
"Kuso!! You little... huh?!" A large beanstalk erupted from beneath the black winged doll and forced her to fly back. Suiseiseki seized the opportunity to open her case, hop into it and fly away. Suigintou expanded her black wings and transformed the tips into the heads of monsters to destroy the beanstalk. "Annoying..." After reverting her wings back to normal, she shot off in pursuit of her sister.
During her flight, Suiseiseki kept pouring some water out of her can at certain intervals to create obstacles for her pursuer. She was aware that she would be out of water soon and unable to create large plants to stall the other Rozen Maiden. As she was about to pour the last of her water for one last beanstalk, a stream of black feathers crashed against her case and sent her and the can into free fall. "Aaahhh!!!!"
"Moratta!!!" Suigintou dove down to strike the other doll with her sword but another loud voice disrupted her concentration.
"LEMPICKA!!"
"Nani?!?" As she swung down, the blade was intercepted by a pair of golden shears. Suigintou's eyes turned sharply to the wielder of the shears.
"Cease this at once, Suigintou," said Souseiseki in a calm tone. Down below, Suiseiseki had landed safely in Seina's arms.
The First Doll cursed mentally as she realized her mistake. When she had seen the two cases earlier fly towards a particular location, it had taken a lot of effort to stop one of them and force it through a portal to her N-Field so that she could engage in a duel with the doll inside that case. In her haste to win the Rosa Mystica, she had not shut down the portal which allowed Seina and Souseiseki to enter the domain. 'The twin Gardener Dolls... and a human, most possibly a Medium.' The odds were certainly not in her favour however if she did come out on top, it would be a huge stepping stone to meeting Father.
Her thought process was interrupted when a purple glowing speck appeared in front of her face and started acting wildly. "Meimei?" Upon examining the pattern of the artificial spirit, she recognized the message that it was trying to communicate to her. A gleeful smile appeared on her face and she started to giggle. The malicious tone in that giggle worried Souseiseki but that worry turned to confusion as Suigintou backed off. "An unexpected and wonderful development has been brought to my attention. So you all can go for now..." Before Souseiseki could figure out what she had meant, Suigintou took off.
'What was that about?' Souseiseki decided not to put too much thought into it and landed gracefully to check on her sister. As soon as she had landed though, she was quickly grabbed in an embrace by her sobbing sister.
"Souseiseki-chan!!!"
The Fourth Doll calmly placed her arms around her twin to comfort her. "It's okay. I'm here... sssshhhhh..."
**********
The only sounds in the small and cozy bedroom were the tickings of a clock and the sound of a small metal spoon hitting the inner walls of a teacup. The lone figure in the room noted the time on her pocket watch. 'Forty minutes until bed time. Enough time to enjoy this quiet moment.'
Unfortunately, the quiet moment was broken when a figure emerged from a full length mirror hanging on the closet door. "It's been 586,920 hours and 37 minutes since our last encounter... Shinku."
"And after all that time, you still have no concept of manners, Suigintou. How pathetic," replied the Fifth Doll of the Rozen Maiden before taking a sip of her freshly brewed tea.
A visible snarl appeared on Suigintou's face. "You're the one who is pathetic. Today, I will firmly grind that fact into your mind before taking your Rosa Mystica!"
Shinku placed her tea cup down. "You rudely interrupt tea time and challenge me to a duel... I doubt Father would want an Alice with such poor manners."
