Do You Trust the Shadows?

OOC:


[Paper tousles around grass, it's edges creased warn into bits and parched.
Winds breath settles it under toe within a single step.
Retrieving it from beneath it's soggy trap, red lettering bares a familiar name.]


Dear, Sukinokousukke

To return your feelings with mine,

You asked me to put my hands on you
I'll gladly put them around your throat

You asked me to hold you in my arms
I would do so, then crush your ribs into your lungs

You asked me to lay with you
I would rather bath in your blood

Yours never,

[There is no signature, but if you examine closely, it looks like someone spit in it's place.]

Naboo.

The sound around them filled with the roaring breath of mother nature; blades of grass rocked back and fourth with each gust across the field acres. The area was surrounded by swamp and forest alive with hidden beings, beasts and a humanoid. Each blade throughout the land seemed damp, dripping of fresh dew from a small downpour earlier. Diffused light from the sky, well the sun fell above the horizon, refracted rays by the atmosphere of the earth; twilight spread a rich dark blue shine across the grass, shimmering a lighter blue within each droplets core.

In the middle of the field, one figure stood: female. But only a moment later, as if time and space ripped itself, altering reality, stood a image of male parallel to the female a few feet away. The male was clad in a black cloak, it's hood pulled half way over top a mask. The Tricopper faced mask was black naturally, but it's glossy overlay reflected that of it's surroundings; the various blue shades of colors. Pulsing around the masks lining, a focus of dark side energy lingered. The figure behind the mask seemed to breath in dark side as if it was miasma powered by death and destruction from past events. Each intake of air and dark side energy bringing his chest high up, though the action lacked aggression, it seemed more natural, almost abnormally natural. If the female figure tried to sense the inter-workings of the soulless image standing before her, she would pick up nothing.

From the way he stood, in angle and position of light rays, the male seemed like he projected three shadows upon the grassy ground to the side of him. Standing with both hands too his sides, beckoning the female figure in the middle, he was already in the starting form of a well preferred combat style: Makashi. Though he had no hilt in his hand, that soon became rectified as a Phirk hilt clicked from his belt and with a slapping sound into his left palm.

I've found you, now let us begin the ceremony. Angel projected his thoughts through his mind into Sukinokousukke's, in a eerily calm whisper, and it sounded as if the words had been carried over miles.



OOC: I've been giving permission by darkhaert too spot Sukinokousukke right off the bat too start battle.

 

[darkhaert]

Sukinokousukke was unapologetic in chewing her gum, and failed to even consider her opponent. Her head bobbed down to look at the soil, and swung it right to left to see the putrid swamp. She spat her gum, and watched as the large figure in front of her pose. Her jaw tensed as the anxiety crawl up on her back. She drew her lightsaber hilt hidden in her pocket, and just stood there.

"What the hell have I gotten myself into... I should have let the drones handle this." She flexed her wrists and examined the extra tubings she installed on her arms. Inside the tubes, Under her long sleeved turtle neck, were a form of special ether whose vapor would knock out aggressive animals like the one in front of her. She wouldn't dare use the Hendrix drug since it might worsen her situation. But in any case, she would use it if necessary. She also doubled the amount of explosive chemicals on her to be safe.

In her back pocket she took out a pack of gum, and ate one of its pieces. What has she gotten herself into. And exposing her real image was not close to a rational decision, either. "Is it still possible to back out?"

 

[Garuga]

"That, ‘darling’, will not be an option..." The largest of the shadows growled. Stepping away from Angel, Elyphys ceased his concealment and stealth in the force. From the twilight, he emerged. His immense stature was only matched by the violent dark pulses that radiated from within. A metallic mask hid his wide grin, but the cyan fire that made up his eyes was clearly seen. What also wasn’t hidden was the undoubtedly bestial enthusiasm that now surrounded Elyphys’ every action and word. With every muscle bulging and every part of his body at highest attention, Elyphys let out a final roaring laugh before breaking from his crouch into a sprint.

Gathering force currents around his body, he sprinted with unmatched speed, his posture could have been interpreted by every species in the galaxy. A predator on the hunt. After a few great steps, he raised his hands forward while on the run. A crushing wave of force leapt forward, akin to an immense fist descending from the sky. A clear challenge, match it or be crushed. Without breaking a stride, two lightsabers appeared in Elyphys’s grasp, their great cyan blades emerging a moment later.

Leaping forward to close out the final distance between him and the female prey, Elyphys dealt out two scything blows while adjusting the hilts of his dual-phase lightsabers. The cyan blades suddenly doubled in length, allowing two deadly arcs to sail through the air, towards the neck and waist respectively. This was what Elyphys lived for, up and personal combat. Focusing on every minute detail in combat, his already augmented strength was further bolstered by the force currents that now influenced his very actions.

Hidden in the shadows, her presence concealed in the Force, Greed observed the meeting between Angel and Yuki. The female seemed nonchalant about all this, completely unconcerned about any threat from Angel, no concern for her own safety. This was indeed interesting, maybe coming here might turn out to be more profitable than she had thought. The woman was either too stupid to realize the danger she faced, or was so confident in her abilities that she felt no need to worry. Greed hoped it was the latter, hoped that she had something interesting to offer. Following Angel had been a good decision after all, if not for the meeting that she had chanced upon, then this confrontation was definitely proving things to be that way.

As Elyphys stepped out and charged the woman, Greed didn't even turn her face to look at the giant of a man begin his assault, instead keeping her gaze fixed on the woman. Let's see what you are made of. Herself stepping out from the shadows, but not of her own concealment in the Force, she moved in from the other side, a few steps behind Elyphys. As she moved in she drew her shotos, igniting them both. In some corner of her mind she noticed the contrasts between her and Elyphys as they both moved in to attack. The giant Elyphys with his dual-phase blades in comparison to her own slender, slightly petite build, with her shorter than normal guard shotos. His darkness as compared to her wanderings in the twilight between light and darkness. Two completely opposite forces attacking as one.

Her hands firmly grasping the shorter perpendicular shafts of her blades, she held the blades pointing outwards, in a more offensive fashion. Summoning the Force she began exerting her will, gathering energy and forcing it out through her hands, bright blue currents of lightning running wildly down from her hands onto the two silver blades of energy, enveloping them. As Elyphys' blades expanded in size, Greed rushed in, jumping into the air over and above Yuki with her body rotating. As she passed over her she made two diagonal slashes with her blade, two arcing waves of lightning rushing out towards Yuki in the process. Landing behind her Greed spun around to face her once more, rotating her blades, making them point backwards along the length of her arms in a defensive stance.

Her gum tasted awful at the sight of another force adept, but she continued to chew nonetheless. The idea at beginning was luring one of them, she could have handled only one, not a pair of giants. She didn't expect another, much bigger, bastard to participate. Knowing the severity of the situation, she made certain that all the facts are on her side: a total of three were upon her. Her death was guaranteed a hundred and ten percent, she thought. The predicament she's in almost made her cry a sad laugh. But the big one started to move, and threw the first blow.

A barrier appeared to confront the blow of Elyphis, but when the second one began to move she made the barrier into a slim bubble, to reserve her energies, only enough to cover the small area she's in. Change of plans. To bounce off lightnings, and neutralize lightsabers.

What really has she gotten herself into. She should have known that these things travel in packs. She could only handle one. All of this would end if she would send an emergency signal to her Pseudon. But where's the fun in not trying. Besides, sending the signal might also mean death on someone else's hands, Ledo's hands.

Damn. She really needs that laugh.

With Sukinokousukke distracted, sliding backwards without movement of feet, the image of the cloaked male then vanished out of the reality it had appeared into. Working from within the shadows, soon too work within the mind of his victim should she not be able too defend herself completely. She would fight two battle fronts; one physically with the two aggressors and another mentally with the self-proclaimed 'Angel of Death'.

...come here...open your arms...embrace me...Then the voice within her mind would sound again, the soft whisper gaining just a small amount of volume. ...come here...open your arms...embrace me... As if a broken record, again it sounded even louder. ...come here...open your arms...embrace me... The voice would not stop, for it would go on and on, amlplfied but the smallest amount every time. ...come here...open your arms...embrace me... Its rhythmic tune began echoing, keeping her mind filled and distracted, pushing for her concentration to slip. ...come here...open your arms...embrace me...

...come here...open your arms...embrace me...!​

If Angels Illusion was able too crawl inside and invade Sukinokousukke's mind, the image of the male would once again reappear a few miles behind her, flickering in and out of vision before completely solid too eyes sight. The landscape would shudder, a shivering tremor as if the ground below was alive itself. Filling around each blade of grass, trees, swamp water, beneath each fighters feet, a thick black smoke. Swirling around with every step taken by each figure in battle.

 

[Garuga]

Elyphys’s blows struck into protection bubble. He heaved against it for a second, testing it’s strength, then pulled back. The structure was sound. The female was more competent than her tiny frame suggested, but that wouldn’t change a thing. No defense was indestructible, and the thought of breaking through her sanctuary was more than an enticing thought. Elyphys studied the female through the protective bubble. Her looks may stir up physical responses from other males, but to Elyphys, the attraction was uniquely different. He would force his way to her body, and then once her creamy white neck was exposed, his powerful jaws and teeth would go to work.

Grasping onto his temptations and dark lust, Elyphys roared in ecstasy, his force presence turning into a nearly sickly-sweet miasma of dark energy. A lesser being, such as a Jedi padawan perhaps, would likely have thrown up being in the near vicinity of such corrupting influence. Freeing one hand for the time-being, Elyphys gathered his energies into the hand, and thrust it forward towards the bubble. A purple light enveloped Elyphys’s right hand, constructed from pure darkside energy. Elyphys was seeking to pummel his way directly through the force bubble. Even if her bubble held, it would be for the time-being.

As the force struggle between the defensive and the destructive powers continued, Elyphys knew that as long as the three of them worked to their different strengths, the woman would not be able to maintain her concentration to stand against a three directional assault. "Your shield will be obliterated!" Elyphys bellowed, while the purple force blast continued it's relentless task of pounding the bubble. "Your own being will FOLLOW!"

 

[Wit]

Even as she landed Greed knew that her attack hadn't had the desired effect, if it had then she would have felt her reaction through the Force, heard it with her ears as the woman responded to the pain the lightning was sure to impart. Turning around she noticed why not, a Force barrier, pulled in close to her. So she does have some talent after all, interesting. Elyphys was pummeling away at the bubble, trying to overcome it with brute force.

She could either try out a different approach or assist in Elyphys' efforts, making her own strength work in resonance with his. Switching off her blades she clipped them on her waist, and began running forward. She then pushed off from the ground, using the Force to increase the push she felt in return from the ground. Jumping much higher than was normally possible for a person of her size, she used the Force to increase her upward kinetic energy. As she was going up she began gathering the Force around her, but this time not focusing it into energy in the way required for lightning. At the top of arc, directly above Yuki, she brought both her hands together, cradling a invisible sphere, creating a bubble of Force energy. Time slowed down as she drew in heavily on the Force, focusing on the two tasks. When she was just above Yuki she let loose with a powerful Telekinetic blast, aimed straight at Yuki, a cannonball of the Force hurtling straight at her at tremendous speed.

The Angel of Death had indeed shown true his deception, yet to sink into a more... capable mind. Just as the undetectable interception of the illusion took place, it would be felt that Angel's illusion had indeed taken hold exactly as planned. However, it had shaken loose more than it bargained for.

Springing up, as if dozens of creatures erupted from the very air and ground that trembled, a cloud of what would appear to be as ninjas sped through the area in various actions.

From the black cloud that floated over the moist earth, black-masked figures poked their heads up drawing the shimmer of steel swords off their backs. As well, figures bent down as they hung from trees by their legs opening up fire of their silver throwing knives in every direction except that of Angel's.

In specific movements, they even seemed extremely Force-capable; as they had indeed appeared from out of nowhere without detection, and to stay hidden from such stealthy beings whose own opening arrivals said much. One appeared behind a particular purple blasting aggressor, reaching around with a most powerful grip using a rear-naked-choke with one right arm and strapping back this aggressor's left arm behind his back by pinning it between their bodies.

At the top of the Bubble, the very same and only bubble of these three aggressor's focus, the female's body was seized mid-flight. Her body was rotated to flip her head below and her feet up, and angled so that her attack instead went straight for the now held Elyphys. Further, Greed was then arced by the manipulating Force into the ground while following the outer shape of the Bubble in course and direction. As she would be slammed into the ground with unrelenting force, the number of tightly bound black figures crept towards the two attackers but made no further movements or hints of attack thereafter. Yet, their movements created a pattern of walkways to which someone might move through them with ease; all of which started at the Bubble and led off away from the now split party.

Further, a single pair of red eyes opened to meet the two that created this reality. Growing in shape, the eyes then would be so located upon a very similar masked figure to all the rest. This figure looked at Angel, stepping out towards his projected image. Whether Angel was actually there was yet to be proven, yet Angel would most absolutely see the look in this figure's eyes. ..One of disapproval, yet brooding with a Darkside flavor of enjoyment.

Every figure would feel somehow familiar to Angel and Elyphys, yet would not be placed; and purposefully so. Perhaps Angel might get the wrong idea and think these figures are within his power? That was of no concern, as several figures broke off to make certain of Sukinokousukke's safe escape. She would do well to take this opportunity, as every individual was preoccupied... well almost.

A parting gift... that figure that seemed so familiar to Angel, that one that had drawn his attention with those red glowing eyes looking straight back at him were but the distraction.

"Have you learned nothing?" The voice echoed from every direction, as this figure ticked like a timebomb but twice in playful countdown before his body would be made the area decimating explosive that it was.

One. Two.

 

[darkhaert]

She should have never agreed to tackle someone like Angel. How could she have been so naive to decide that she'd take this adventure alone?! Was she trying to prove something? Prove what?! To whom?! Her Pseudon was nowhere near where she was. And to prove what exactly?! No soul knows of her travel to this planet, and her objectives were either lost on her way there, or that the incessant gum chewing occupied the cells in her brain, or that this was another clumsy, dangerously clumsy, spontaneous acts she'd instinctively put herself into. (Why was she eating gum, she hates gum.)

Only her ship knows where she was, but it wasn't smart enough to respond to her situation. And if she did call out to her Pseudon it would take days or weeks for him to arrive. Chances of death: A hundred and fifteen percent.

It was always, and have often been, a battle between two or more against her enemies or targets. Why act alone now?

But she already had a plan, a weak one, under that repeatedly beaten bubble. She should create a bubble inside her bubble and filled it with the her toxin irritant. Once the Greed landed, break the outer bubble and let them take the irritating visible gas. Then she should create multiple illusions, at a scale she'd never imagined she'd do: three of Greed, three of Angel, three of Elyphys, and three of her. Then all of it would randomly pick fights. And the real her melt under the shadow...

That was her brilliant plan.

The situation changed.

Things appeared.

Dozen of these things: Unfriendlies to her enemies.

An escape path appeared along with it. F - I - U - C - K all of it, she thought. No point in the main actor dying this early

Upon the interception of her enemies, she split into a total of fourteen characters. Thirteen of whom were illusions of people she'd met, killed, ****ed, kissed, and tricked. While her, Yuki, on the otherhand, cloaked under the guise of a blue skinned Twi'lek, ran to the escape route made by the invaders. Her illusions, thank the force, were rabid, randomly going after everyone nearest to it.

After safely nearing the exit line of the battle field, she threw three of the tubes, that contain a irritant liquid that explodes as gas upon contact with the atmosphere, at trees. The liquid contain would be enough to create a gas cloud that would cover three quarters of the battlefield. Then she left a really large force bubble to keep everyone there.

From afar, she disconnected from the force, and left herself a mortal in the eyes of any force adept. She was nonexistent. Should I laugh now? It's not funny anymore.

 

[Dread]

As the Illusions created by Angel fell into chaos, attacking everyone but him, the single standing male image watched with unmoving red glowing eyes through the hallowed out circles in his Tricopper mask. The chaos ensued around him so suddenly, and it felt out of place and out of his control. A event that was a little too familiar; Angel created chaos with illusions as Angel had been taught by his mentor and guide too. All suspicions of his lost control where answered after a image like Angel shaped in front of the standing male image, locking eyes with him with a look seen before by Angel. Then the words spoken put everything together.

The ticking bomb that came from the image alike to Angels had the possibility of reaching a great distance and a outcome that was not a preferred one. Angel could do many things in reaction but there was more behind this, and he did not panic; the image of the male only floated backwards slowly away the other image, using the time to speak. I have learned many things...Demon? Angel answered and questioned, projecting his thoughts out towards all he could reach. Seemly forgetting about his target, all focus fell too the could-be arrival of Demon(who was known mostly as Ledo).

 

[Garuga]

((Despite the fact that there are no ‘trees’ given that the location is surrounded by swamps, im going to let it pass))

At first, Elyphys felt only confusion at the sudden turn of events. Then irritation, and finally rage. He didn't know who or what was interferring, but it did not matter. Elyphys would earn this kill the hard way. As the shadow figure attempted to perform his manouevere, Elyphys activated a lightsaber with his left hand, shedding into the figure's arm. The grip, though perhaps powerful to anyone else, was but a feeble tickle upon Elyphys's altered body. Spinning around, Elyphys stopped channeling his force powers, and instead dealt a roundhouse backhand blow to the figure’s head. The part of the spinal cord attached to the bottom of the skull would snap, while a second kick drove it directly into the force attack dealt by Greed.

”One!” Elyphys spat, activating one lightsaber with his right hand, keeping his left hand free. As he sprinted forward, he struck out with the cyan blade, performing a perfect Sai-Cha upon another of the beings. ”Two!” Elyphys shouted, his eyes now set upon a lone one standing still in the field. Leaping forward, the figure was not facing him, instead facing what he thought was the man that he had previously met. As his leap carried him directly behind the being, Elyphys snorted at the clock-ticking like noises it was making. Raising his left hand swiftly towards the being’s skull, Elyphys crushed it with little effort. ”Three.” He spat into the figures ear, before engulfing and decimating it entirely with the alluring purple fire that he loved so terribly much.

Looking up now, the activities done by the others did not really interest him. What did matter was the fact that his prey had disappeared. The extra number of figures now upon the battlefield was ludicrous, and the smoke that had suddenly erupted onto the battlefield only further proved Elyphys’s suspicion that the female had run away. He chuckled. There was no place for you to hide... Summoning the force around him once again, Elyphys sprinted towards the direction the smoke had appeared from, smashing and knocking away whatever that came in front of him. Upon reaching the boundaries of the battlefield, Elyphys felt a small impact as he appeared to break through a force constructed defense. Elyphys roared with laughter as he realised that someone, most likely the female, had tried to form a barrier of that magnitude across such a large area.

Both angered and put into a good mood by such ludicrous displays of ineptitude, Elyphys eventually realised after a while of sprinting that he could not sense the woman’s force presence. Snarling, he cursed the woman for failing to acknowledge her fate-determined death at his hands. Nevertheless, he chuckled, activating the heat-sensors and radar built into his helmet. The force was his most powerful tool, but technology proved itself superior in situations such as these. Locating the female was no trouble, after all, they had placed far too much confidence in their deceitful ways. Whipping out his plasma pistol and force sword, Elyphys decided to approach the fight from another direction.

He squeezed off 3 pulses of blue plasma towards Yuki before charging forward once again. The blue pulses were no ordinary blaster bolts. These blue pulses would explode on impact, undeflectable by simple sweeps of a lightsaber. Clipping his plasma pistol to his belt swiftly, Elyphys smirked while administrating a force pull at his target. Trying the similar tactic of forming a protection bubble this time would be futile, Elyphys had made sure of the way to countering it. His mind burned with fury and delight, joined together in symphony into one blazing inferno. in such rage, anyone foolish enough to even attempt to enter his mind would find themselves struggling to control their own actions, having been in contact with such primal thoughts of brutality and the depravity of long locked away temptations.

Elyphys sneered upon the female, now in a form of a blue-twilek. ”Accept your sacred fate!” He roared, striking forward with his force-sword, whose bloodthirsty sheen glowed with a dark purple pulse, in resonance with Elyphys’s own mind.

 

[Wit]

Greed pushed herself off from the ground, spitting out blood and dirt. She was hurt, bruised and cut all over the place, injured in a manner and much sooner in the fight than she had expected. She would have been a fool if she had entered the fray thinking that she would not get injured, but she had been sure of her abilities, sure that she would not have been on the back foot so early in the fight. Looking around she took in everything all around her, the sudden appearance of the dark mist and the emergence of the numerous beings, seemingly from within the confines of the mist itself. At the same time she had taken heed of the creatures hanging from trees, weapons gleaming in their hands.

But throughout this time she had not lost sight of why he was here, of her target. She had kept her eyes on Yuki when she had been seized while in the air, kept an eye on her as she fell, but her fall had been hard and fast. In those few instances as her body had crashed into the ground, she had lost track of Yuki. Cushioning her fall through the Force had been her priority then, and now Yuki had disappeared. For a second her anger got the better of her, she did not cope well with failure. This new entrant, the one Angel was calling Demon, had a power she had not anticipated. But she was not a mere neophyte, she was a Master in her own right. She had deserved the title of Caesar, earned it. Opening her self completely to the Force, she let go of the concealment in the Force she was still enveloping herself in. She could not locate Yuki through the Force, couldn't even see her through the smoke that was spreading everywhere.

The smoke! Suddenly she saw a way to locate Yuki. Stretching out through the Force she searched for and located one of the cylinders that was the source of the smoke. As it came flying into her grasp, Greed closed her fingers around the cylinder, feeling its texture in her grasp, feeling it through the Force. Through the Force she tracked the cylinder back to Yuki and then further back, images flashing into her mind. By using her psychometric abilities she tracked Yuki's movements as she had traveled here, ultimately going as far back as to her ship.

Letting go of the cylinder, she began moving directly towards the ship, picking up speed as she moved. By the time the cylinder hit the ground she was already crossing the now highly weakened Force bubble surrounding the clearing. As she ran she suddenly felt Elyphys' presence in front and a little to the side of her path, turning in that direction until she saw him charging a blue twi'lek. Realizing that the twi'lek was Yuki, Greed came to a halt and began drawing in the Force. Reaching out she grasped a nearby tree, uprooting the hulking mass of wood right out from the ground. When the tree was completely out she rotated it so that it was pointing straight at Yuki and threw it straight at her, a giant projectile aimed straight for her chest.

 

[Lyeric Ubbal Arathilion]

As each blackness swirled with the trio's (Angel/Greed/Elyphys) futile and ineffective attacks, though the images of assassins were helpless against their ('trio's') aggressions, the evil figures lingered on until that singular moment so counted into distraction...

"One. Two..." And as Elyphys had come up behind the ticking dark figure, all the land shown like the rising sun; as a flash came into being like the dipping of a broken yoke into water. Yet as the one who believed the count to two was actually meant to be three, it had indeed erupted on two as specified; though the flash's effects seemed utterly empty and unaffecting. But one outcome would be certain, as all the dark figures had vanished with that ploom of unnatural light ...now melting away with the caressing swirls of creamy gray smoke and humid fog.

The illusion had passed, as it all would be understood as a simple distraction. The presence was gone, if ever it was there; as it had done its part.

 

[darkhaert]

She was safe, until she felt her dome break. It was the big one no doubt about it. When she turned to face back plasmas were already flying towards her. Don't exaggerate your actions. Make your movements at a minimum. That's Soresu. She bent just enough to slip through the spaces of the plasma. But something began to pull her. Don't be nervous, she thought, Epicanthixs are prone to erectile disfunction. The pull was strong, and she gave in. Not only gave in, but supplemented it by throwing herself and covering herself with a force bubble. With her left hand she kept the bubble's shape, with her right she ignited her lightsaber, if ever the bubble breaks, to stab that ogre in the face. She angled her saber straight to his face.

But a tree got in between the hunter and the hunted. The hunted was detoured away from the Epicanthix... No way, the other one found her already. Wasn't the chaos enough to give her time? Has she lost her mastery in stealth (or in otherwords: fleeing)? It was definitely a different case. She was certainly undetectable. There was no mistake. She had to live, not because she wanted to, but had to, for the sake of something something something. No time to think. In battle... So much experiments to do, so much time to torment her masters. And she forgot to feed her slaves.

She landed near the shore of a lake. The water was murky, filled with dead plants, and living ones, and with a size as big as evolution would have it. (Yeah it was pretty big, and disgusting.) Who knows what beasts lurk underneath. Although the beasts could be a lot more reasonable than the bunch after her. But she couldn't see underneath all that green mucus and logs, and the night, and her wavering vision. The force bubble kept sparking, trying to keep its form. She wasn't prepared for a flying tree; flying pigs, yes, she's an alchemist, afterall, but flying trees?

Move now. You hesitate. You die.

The force bubble shot far away from the shore to the lake. Her left hand kept the bubble's form while her right held her lightsaber. As for her legs, it was wet almost close to her kneecaps. It was like a floating ball with a little water. She pointed her saber at them, mainly at the tall one. "Would you grant a fated corpse one request?" She cried out to them but didn't wait to answer. Her stare glared heavily and did not hesitated. Her jaws tightened around her molars. And her shoulders leveled as her scowl screamed. "Answer me! How were you both able to find me in a short amount of time? I never made a mistake. Never. Not then, nor ever." She said it quick like a woman begging her euthanasia & one final speech. A speech that determines the meaning of her life.

Don't forget about that Angel Bastard.

 

[Dread]

When the flash went off, Angel's image vanished in the overbearing light. Demon's suspicions where right as the image of Angel was nothing but a projection from the real Angel. The real Angel stood on the outskirts of the field in the forest. Thinking for only a moment of what Demons intentions where. Demon seemed gone now, and only provided a moment of distraction. Was it to save this girl, or to make the hunt harder for Angel? Angel choose to understand it as the latter.

Turning around after the quick analyzation of the short distraction Angel could sense his two 'partners' in the woods. So he followed their signatures like beacons. Behind them, but not too far away due to being in the woods before hand. He was not close enough to make any physical attacks on their target during the other twos and was still too far to make any once the girl landed inside the water. But he was close enough to reach out with the force, having a full view of her in the lake and the size of the lake itself.

Angel practiced his ability to manipulate the elements of nature with Demon. It was a skill known as alter environment and could be used to manipulate temperatures, creating freezing sub-zero temperatures in seconds, or blistering heat that could burn. Their target happened to fall in a lake, and a lake happened to be made out of water, and water happened to be able to freeze or boil.

This was Angel's lucky day; he could now practice his skills within altering the environment. If Angel could feel anything he would feel laughter forming at the pit of his stomach out into a manic one that would echo throughout the forest. Instead he simply went to his knees and clasped his hands together to focus himself. As he did his knees came together, sinking into the mud under him, but he ignored it as it felt slightly like a pillow.

Focusing, the lake would form a huge wave, building up slowly; it created itself from the other side of the lake from Yuki, to the side of the lake she was at, which would push her floating bubble to the shore. As this happened the molecules in the water started to gather into clusters, on the nanometer scale, arranging in a defined and periodic manner that defines a crystal structure: the water froze around her bubble in the wave that made it to the shore. If done right, half the back of her bubble and the top of her bubble would be frozen in the stilled wave of thick mucky ice. The wave creating a frozen half-dome of ice and other objects stuck within it on the shore side.

Angel would now wait for his partners to catch up to Yuki, to her could-be icy tomb he created.

 

[Garuga]

As the events unfolded before his eyes, Elyphys stopped in his step, marvelling over his 'companions' and their capabilities. The huge projectile formed from a tree had forced Yuki onto the surface of the lake, where seemingly bizarre events were now occurring. Elyphys stepped forward, moving himself a little closer towards the shore-line. ”Your mistake.” Elyphys laughed promptly. ”is that you were born.” Not one for answering questions certainly, and neither was he one to indulge himself in idle chit-chat. He was the hunter, and was acting in his role. The prey was becoming more troublesome, but Elyphys didn’t mind challenges. The harder you work for it, the sweeter the result.

Emitting forth another fit of laughter, Elyphys raised his two hands, the force currents once again enveloping him, sweeping grass and all alike away from him. His eyes set on the protection bubble that stopped him from accomplishing his harvest. Now set in ice, Elyphys knew that there would be few choices of action for the woman trapped within. His hands moved into two claws, the force mimicking their movements. Around the protection bubble where there was no ice, pulses of force would be constantly assaulting the shape and structure of the bubble. Elyphys roared, putting full concentration into removing this final obstacle that stood in his way.

Once the others joined in the assault, Yuki would be forced into the open. And when that did happen... Elyphys slurped, his cyan eyes glowing with passion.

Greed slowly walked up to the lake, her eyes fixed on the woman within. She did not answer Yuki's question, there was no point in giving her that knowledge, not when there was even the slightest chance that she might use that to escape again. Neither did she think that Yuki was worthy of that knowledge, not so close to her imminent doom.

Suddenly she felt a pulse in the Force from another source, Angel. As she approached the lake she felt the temperature begin to drop a little, but ignored it. She needed to concentrate on her own actions, not on what Angel was trying to pull off. As Elyphys seemed to be concentrating on a assault on the Force bubble, Greed decided to complement with attacks of her own. But she adopted a slightly different approach. Floating up small pebbles and stones of varying sizes, she began shooting them at exceedingly fast speeds straight at the bubble, focusing all the pressure and impulse of contact onto that small area. The bubble might have held against such forces spread out over a wider area, but by concentrating it into the small areas of the pebbles she greatly increased the pressure on impact, maybe enough for one of them to pierce through.

What a poetic little sonuvabitch, she thought of Elyphys. Then she felt her bubble go with a tide. Why was there a tide, but before she could think of an answer the moon's light disappear. Behind you! She jerked her head and found a large body of water over her. It pushed her bubble into the shore. (Keep its form together). She sensed the swamp water's molecule constrict. Near the shore was a beautiful ice sculpture laced with bacteria, dirt, and wood. Could this get any better?

The giant moved like a mad beast. Her bubble was able to hold itself together. She could hold him off, as long as her bubble is in shape. Her main worries was the woman. (Keep its form together). She has been awfully quiet, which was often more dangerous than force. Because any force adept could manage force, but cunning was a whole different thing. She knew that by heart.

Then she felt a pebble struck her eyebrow. A cut appeared. It's her! The bubble disappeared, out of her own will, and she focused on deflection attacks using her lightsaber. She was too wide open, but her movements were economically sufficient. No exaggeration of actions and stances. Only step, flick wrist, and parry. Probability of death: 130% Chances of taking one of them for dissection: Virtually zero percent.

All the while, she was slicing off chunks of the ice sculpture when there were no projectiles flying, and when the giant left her some space. The area started to turn a fog, and mist along with it. She sped up the process of sublimation. Nanoscopic water crystals started to float, and the marsh's moist atmosphere contributed to the quickly rising fog. The darkness, the fog, and the damp environment was her tool now. She kept herself inside the fog, to steer away from the giant. Hide and seek then die, she thought.

Fog poured out of the hole their victim started to carve and it could easily be seen from the distance. Angel saw this to his advantage; as now he would focus on the fog and the enclosed area that Yuki had put herself into. A perfect little cave of death. Dark, damp, filled with moisture to control.

Angel focused on the fog, increasing the amount, making it thicker to turn the moisture in the fog and the enclosed space around Yuki into a weapon. Not only would the thick fogs moisture be breathed in by Yuki, into her throat, nose and lungs making it harder to breath and at some point be similar to slowly drowning, but the moist air around her would start to build up and put a great amount of pressure all over her body as every second ticked by. From all the build up of pressure her ears should start to pop, and at some point, if it built up enough, her eardrums would explode. Slowly she would feel the effects of the environment around her. She may even start to realize that she was digging her own grave. Breathing would be hard if not impossible the deeper she put herself into the ice and the longer she stayed in it. How much further would she go? It would now be a waiting game.

The Angel Of Death simply stayed on his knees the whole time; focusing on his work well relaxing his body. Keeping his mind from distractions, his body still, his breathing in a pattern and his body temperature comfortable.
