Race Against The Clock
"My lady! We just received knews about Skyra!" A messenger calls running up. Lady Gold turns her golden gaze on the messenger coldly.
"Who?" The brown haired woman questions. The messenger shifts.
"Your- your daughter madam," He answers.
"Oh! You hear that Justice! They've brought news on Reject!" Sin chimes to her brother. Justice sits up in his chair, blond hair shifting over his silver eyes.
"So I hear, dead is she?" He guesses smoothly making his strawberry blond twin giggle.
"About time," Sin muses. The messenger looks between them then up at Lady Gold as she stands, her smooth beautiful face stone like.
"Haven't I told you that I do not care what that girl does?" She questions coolly. The messenger swallows at her icy tone.
"But, my lady, she has been sent to Sabaody," He tells her. There's a pause and Sin busts out laughing.
"That coward broke the law!? Hahaha! You've got to be-" Justice covers his sister's mouth as their mother's eyes glow fiercely.
"That little pest! How dare she kick dirt on this family's name!" She hisses, light emanating off her. "Sin! Justice! Go retrieve that reject!"
"Yes mother."

Skyra woke up, letting out a breath. She blinks at the ceiling and shifts, trying to get up. "Don't move." The doctor instructs.
"My... My team.." She murmurs.
"They're safe." Doflamingo assures leaning over her, touching her forehead. She relaxes and smiles. "You can go," He adds to the doctor. The doctor leaves and Doflamingo helps Skyra sit up. "Your team's safe, but your doll friend hasn't returned yet, and it's almost midnight," He tells her.
"Is Kid okay?" She asks, starting to worry for her friend. He hums and frowns.
"I'm afraid they may not return," He muses. Skyra feels her heart drop, straightening up.
"Wh-what!? Can't you help him!?" She gasps weakly.
"I can't, but maybe you can," He breathes, holding up a warp amulet, a smile forming on his lips. "It'll be dangerous, and you may get into trouble."
Skyra takes the amulet and gets up with a stagger. "I'll save him," She decides. Doflamingo chuckles.
"Are you sure? You're staggering," He points out. "Here, drink this, and you might need this," He adds, handing her a vile and a small red gear. Skyra hesitates, glancing up at the shady blond man before drinking it swiftly, feeling a surge of power. She lets put a breath, before looking toward the dungeon doors, guarded by the other teachers.
"Ill open a path," He rumbles before walking away. She looks down at the amulet, transferring the gear to her pocket and turning to the doors as some sort of commotion draws the other teacher's attention. A black and white pelt catches her eye. Cerberus was also heading for the door. They share a glance before running through the doors, shocking Mihawks.
"Gold!" He calls after her.
"Stubborn girl, you better not be getting us killed!" Cerberus grunts.
"You didn't have to come," She points out.
"Your my summoner, and your reckless ass needs me," He huffs. Skyra smiles a bit and giggles.
"I love you too Cerberus," She chuckles, touching his head and using the warp amulet.
