Between their own sense of self-righteousness and the love for hearing themselves talk, any sort of input was dropped; after all, they ignored her already. Still, she wasn’t surprised at all to find her blow blocked by the same barrier that impeded her before. The only indication she gave to Yuri’s newfound power was a simple eye raise behind her visor before she turned back to Ayaka. The girl was on the move, roused from her bout of stillness as she launched herself towards the Scorpion with all the stalwart wrath of the earth. The Scorpion raised her arms up, taking the brunt of Ayaka’s attack as it sent her flying upwards in the building, cracking through the floors and causing more property damage than the Pageless ever could. All the same, it was almost poetic in their backdrop as gravity took place and the Scorpion free fell through the many holes back down. [color=mediumvioletred][b]“You stopped speaking arrogantly the moment you took this seriously. Perhaps I’ll do the same,”[/b][/color] the Scorpion said, both Yuri and Ayaka beneath her. Both were readying their attacks, the boy with his magical swarm, and the girl with her pitiful attempts to pin her down. [color=mediumvioletred][b]“Very well.”[/b][/color] The Scorpion’s tail wrenched back, sliding and coiling around one single leg. Dark power emanated, pulsing through and rippling the building in shadowy waves. Even the newcomer could feel the encroaching aura and pressure building around the focal point that was the Scorpion from all the way up her spot on the tightrope. Darkness seemed to envelop the Scorpion’s one leg and soon she was rocketing down towards Yuri and Ayaka. Faster, faster, and faster, until she was merely a purplish blur of light that made itself manifest with a harsh dropping kick to Yuri’s face. The lights that once illuminated the area went out in a single flash and Yuri’s butterflies of myriad colors and Ayaka’s pillars all extinguished while darkness shockwaved the area once more. The Scorpion’s boot dug into Yuri’s cheek, slamming him into the ground with such violent force and ferocity as if to kill him; but he would survive. No sooner was he put down did the Scorpion twist around to deliver the same impacting force to Ayaka. Enough power was in the side kick to send her flying completely through the building’s walls and out of it entirely; the Scorpion didn’t care if the other girl could stop her own descent. [color=mediumvioletred][b]“We’re done here.”[/b][/color] Leaping off Yuri, the Scorpion bounded up the cracked and ruined top holds of each floor one by one. Like a springing shadow, she was beside the clown-like Darkeeper in just a moment, noting Robin and the bunny girl’s frantic entrance. [color=mediumvioletred][b]“Are you done playing around Harlequin?”[/b][/color] And then she stared directly at Robin. [color=mediumvioletred][b]“Your friends aren’t worth our time.”[/b][/color] [hr]
