Light strode over to his brother and tugged at Dark’s arm. It was the mechanical one, Lili saw and she remembered how Light had said his twin could punch a hole through a steel wall with it. From the color of her attacker’s face as he dangled two feet off the ground, it was clear Dark’s lethal hand was choking him to death.
“Brother—Brother, don’t kill him!” Light urged, tugging at his twin’s arm again. “Remember what Commander Sylvan said—we can’t kill any humans!”
For a moment, it seemed that Dark was going to ignore him. Then he seemed to make an effort to speak.
“He was attacking our female—trying to fucking rape her! Look—he has his dick out! Why can’t I kill him?” He nodded at the now extremely limp member that was still dangling from the attacker’s pants.
“I agree—he deserves death. But he didn’t succeed in violating Lilibet and the human authorities prefer to punish perpetrators themselves,” Light said earnestly. “Also, Commander Sylvan forbid us from causing problems down here!”
“I’m not causing a problem—I’m fucking solving one!” Dark growled. “He has to be punished. Let me at least rip off one of his arms or break both his legs.”
“If you rip off his arms he’ll bleed out,” Light pointed out.
“Fine—I’ll punish him in a way that doesn’t kill him or cause bleeding. Hold him, Brother—I have an idea.”
Dark put the attacker down and Light grabbed his arms and held them behind his back.
“What…what are you gonna do to me?” the attacker gasped, wobbling between them. “Didn’t do…anything wrong. Have to…teach these bitches…a lesson.”
“I’ll teach you a lesson, you gath’brux!” Dark snarled and then added something else in the same, guttural language which must be the Dark Kindred native tongue.
Lili didn’t know what the words meant, but they hurt her ears just the same. She watched numbly, clutching her wrist to her chest, her heart still pounding.
“Hurry!” Light urged his brother. “If you’re going to do something, make it quick. We need to get out of here before the human authorities arrive!”
“Pull down his fucking pants and kick his legs apart—I’m going to be sure he can never hurt a female again,” Dark growled.
“Hey, what?” the attacker gasped, going pale as the Light Twin yanked down his trousers and underwear, leaving everything on display. He tried to close his legs but Light jerked his arms back viciously and growled,
“I don’t think so! Stand still and take what’s coming to you!”
Lili heard a muted pop and suddenly the would-be-rapist’s arms were twisted back at odd angles. She couldn’t be sure, but she thought both his shoulders were dislocated.
Dark ignored the hoarse cries coming from the attacker. He bent his head down and stared at the hairy, dangling genetalia hanging between the hapless man’s legs.
Lili was just about to ask what he was going to do, when a beam of brilliant red light shot out of the scope that covered the Dark Kindred’s left eye. It traced a burning line around the attacker’s dangling dick and balls.
The attacker writhed in the Light Twin’s grip, screeching hoarsely in agony—a sound that hurt Lili’s head. Suddenly his genetalia fell off and landed on the tile floor of the bathroom with a splat. Where they had been a moment before, now there was nothing but a smoking hole carved out from between his legs.
“Oh my God! Oh my fucking God!” the attacker shrieked, staring down at his neatly removed genetalia. “What did you do to me? What did you do?”
“We took care of the problem,” Dark growled. “And just in case you were thinking of trying to get them reattached…”
He stomped on the dick and balls, splattering them like a roach under one heavy boot. Then he lifted his foot and shot another red beam of laser light at the squashed remains, incinerating them entirely.
“No! No!” the attacker gasped. Light let him go and he fell to his knees, trying to reach for the blackened spot on the bathroom floor where his genetalia had been just a moment before. But since both arms were dislocated, all he could do was wave in their general direction as he howled in agony.
“Hey, what’s going on in here? What’s happening?” a new voice from the doorway asked.
It was one of the waitresses, Lili saw. She had a confused look on her face as she tried to figure out the strange scene in front of her.
“What happened to him?” she asked Lili, nodding at the howling attacker who still had his pants around his ankles and both arms bent at odd angles.
Lili opened her mouth, but no words came out. She was still standing there numbly and holding her wounded wrist, which she was almost sure was broken. She was beginning to have a disconnected, floaty feeling—like her head was a balloon drifting ten feet above her body.
Is this shock? she wondered. Am I going into shock?
It was Light who answered the waitress’s question.
