Omake Time! Whee!

She sat up and coughed. Blood, thick and nearly black spat out on the ground below her as her head turned to the side in a reflexive motion.
Hacking she spit out the last of it and looked around.
An empty, bombed out wreck of a building and a shining silver vortex surrounding her.
"Big Sister!"
Two little missiles collided with her. Ah, right her
masters sisters. Sisters.
Right she had… ah. So then, hmm…
"Big sis?"
Her head tilted down and she let a slip of a smile cross her face, "I'm back, sorry about everything."
Their heads shook rapidly as they clung to her, "It's okay."
The other one hummed in agreement, "You're back now."
Her memories let her hear the implied 'And that's all that matters' running through their minds.
A quiet huff left her lips as she let her hands pat their heads, "We should go."
Bright smiles covered their faces before they began to scramble to collect their things.
And it gave her time to think.
She was not Bianca. She was not their older sister. But she did have the woman's memories, which is how she knew the former facts.
The Dead cannot truly be brought back.
She was… a golem or homunculus or something stranger created in the image of Bianca. Not just the image, but in every way the twins could really.
She focused outwards and noticed the sunlight brightening… An Eclipse? She frowned, something like that shouldn't be happening with, she glanced at her watch to be sure of the date and yes, an eclipse should not be happening anytime around now.
Her eyes drifted over to Eva and Rico. Oh, of course. Sun and Moon.
Hmm, the two were almost done packing and-
Her head tilted as she listened. Yes, those were screams. And fire. Lot's of fire actually.
She frowned. No, she was definitely not Bianca if it was taking her this long to notice people dying and suffering. Especially since she was only concerned about it insofar as she was worried that Rico and Eva had likely caused it to make her.
Her eyes drifted to a spot on the wall and narrowed before she huffed in annoyance, so much for a clean getaway.
A loud explosion blew out the wall a stray rock flashing by her face as she tilted her head to the side and another slapped out of the air with a casual backhand from her.
Soot and ash marred the form standing in the new hole, and rage painted her face into something ugly to look at, but… She smiled because she, or rather Bianca, knew this girl.
Bianca shifted in place and turned to face her, drawing the girl's eyes to herself and making her stop in surprise, "Brave Heart."
A shudder and a blink, "That's not possible."
She shrugged in reply, an uncaring mask in place, and spoke to her sister's behind her, "Get going you two, I can handle Brave Heart on my own and catch up."
"Big Sis…" They were hesitating, she couldn't blame them though, not really.
She chanced looking over her shoulder and met their eyes, her own ones softening as she met their terrified ones, "Go, I'll be alright, I promise."
Rico's face cleared and then she was pulling Eva away.
Good, those two were exhausted after everything they had done, even if they didn't show it much. Not that they could hide it from her when she knew what to look for.
She turned her head back to their guest after her sister's had left the room, "You're right of course."
Brave Heart was still staring at her, but anger was beginning to leak in past the shock.
She felt a smile creep up on her face, "It's not possible for Bianca to be alive."
Brave Heart had fallen into a ready stance and was looking a little nervous. Good instincts in that one.
Not that it would help her in the end.
She stepped forward calmly and soft light shone from her skin, twisting and warping her ever so slightly, "But then that leaves the question; Who am I?"
The light froze and shattered suddenly and her new form rocketed into Brave Heart and out through the wall, the large axe in her hands smashing into Brave Heart's guard and then pushing through without even slowing down into Brave Heart herself.
On instinct her left hand rose and she snapped off two quick shots after Brave Heart before she lost sight of the girl in the now collapsing building she had been punted through.
She stared at her left hand in surprise, for in it sat
Bianca's weapon.
"Huh, I'm going to take that as approval for looking after your sisters," She tilted her head and waited a moment, but there was no whisper on the wind or anything to signify the recently departed had heard her.
With a shrug over it, she dislodged her axe from it's resting spot on her shoulder and deflected Brave Heart's sword in one smooth motion.
From her spot in the air she looked down at Brave Heart and felt a small, dark smile cross her lips, "I'm probably going to enjoy this more than I should."

"Big Sis!"
"Oof. Watch it you two."
"Are you okay?"
"We were really worried."
"I'm okay."
"But…"
"But?"
"... There's blood."
'Shit!' "... It's not mine, don't worry."
"Oh, Okay!"
A frown crossed her face. Her memories informed her that that
was not a good reaction to what she had said.
She met her eyes in a passing puddle and frowned harder, more worrying was the twins not bringing up the slight lines of red still receding from her eyes.
Hopefully… hopefully she could help them.
But she couldn't deny the worry gnawing at her either.
