Those were the incantations and beliefs of a lesser creature, one naught worthy of the right of rule. It was arrogance on part of Demyx’s side no doubt that fueled Nephuna’s words and one that the JSTR would see no fit amongst itself. The waves of its host crashed upon a wall of spears until crushing seas gave out to cold steel. Those that pushed through came to stab at Kanbaru, or would have had they not frozen in place. A colder presence made itself known with colder desires crashing around Kanbaru’s head. The spears disassembled where they stood before Kanbaru’s aura. Each one dissipated back into coding; yes, coding, for the fusion for all that she was worth was still only that of data. Even now the Tower recorded Nephuna, learning, rewriting and scripting. Data was fallible, malleable, and that which the JSTR would take for its own. It was the desire to be real and exist that spurned this fusion’s motive, to evolve past its data. And yet, the madness of a mutt meant nothing to forces it couldn’t understand. Nephy’s venom only spurned the unfeeling program written in Kanbaru’s mind with all the more desire to see her bent over the knee and accept her new role as…yes, a word bled into its headspace with many meanings behind it. It would have its Mastephos. The JSTR mirrored Kanbaru’s movements like a shadow. Each one of her swings held with it a secondary cutting presence that buzzed harshly, each prickle of ice and splash of the roiling pressure of cosmic seas screeching with a glorious madness only those deepest in their desires could fathom to understand. The pitiful shadow wolves, only former shells of their already fractured creator, fell before the wrath of a true monster. Bloodlust continued leaking from the whale even as blood was spilled by Marianne’s body. The Serei Card never faltered in her own maddened grin, body hacked and limbs torn asunder so much so even her summoner paid it no mind. Or perhaps Thomas knew of the darkness within his own card; it was difficult to tell in the free for all. The remnants of Marianne’s body lashed out as limbs and body parts hurled at the many Nephunas with the accuracy of a machine gun. Then came weight and force as each one grew outwards, reforming into their own Mariannes. Each one slammed themselves into a Nephuna with giggles in their ear and hands defiling and flaying their bodies. [color=8882be]“Time means nothing to the mark of Death. You are no Master and you cannot see your own end,”[/color] the Mariannes giggled. The original slid out from Thomas’ shadow with a hand on his shoulder and a sigh in her breath. [color=8882be]“Do you hear this music, Thomas? Really now, what is that dreadful noise? I expected a fusion to have more…class? Truly tasteless,”[/color] the Angel of Death mused over Thomas’ shoulder as she shook her head upon the sudden tune threatening to drown the combatant’s thoughts. [color=8882be]“Thomas dear I have no qualms with you finally growing a backbone, but if you’re going to fight without abandon, you should let me KNOW.”[/color] Marianne’s own Golden iris gleamed in sync with Thomas’ and a barrage of death-inducing gunfire and laughter echoed from behind his shoulder. But none moved faster in the darkness than a black blur shot like a cannon. It raced past all Nephuna only to slam a fist through the one standing near the speakers. It didn’t take much for Katie to send the fusion flying least of all when she wasn’t paying attention. A quick flick of Pendragon followed by a gunshot made quick work of her music and shattered her vinyl. [color=indianred]“You really need to shut up. Seize control of the Tower? Really? All I’m seeing is history’s biggest temper tantrum,”[/color] Katie mused to the dancing Nephuna even as she idly reloaded Pendragon. [color=indianred]“The only reason you’re not erased is because one side wants to treat this like an animal documentary and the other doesn’t bother fixing her own Tower. So let’s not pretend you’re anything special, right Nephy? I didn’t think you needed power from this parasite just to put a dent on me,”[/color] Katie deadpanned to the fusions. [color=indianred]“Ditch the loser and fight me for real coward.”[/color] [hr]
