[PoP] Must I die?; [Closed] Lucid, Seth, and Shirena

ZEHAHAHA!!
Lucid turned in an oddly mechanical way, her smile frozen on her face as she turned towards the speaker. She couldn't see right now, but she recognized that voice. A few seconds later, genuine laughter erupted from her lips.

"Zehahahaha! I was raised to be dumb. You don't have the same excuse, barging in like that~!" She closed her cake box and set it to the side. "You know, I'm not right most of the time. But when I am, fun happens."

She extended her arms out to the sides, grinning as she did. Her sight had recovered by now, which was going to be bad for them. They really hadn't figured out her capabilities as a product, and now they would pay for it.

"You really don't understand, do you? Here's the truth of the matter: If you hadn't screwed up by telling liar pants Seth you existed, Alexia would be dead. But too bad, you've already lost! No matter what happens now, the Asahi no Tsuya's going to be dismantled by him. You id-i-ot~" She wagged her finger, clearly amused by this whole disaster. "The consolation prize is that you'll die before you get to see your little club get stomped flat because of your mistakes. End of the line for your hopes and dreams!"

Lucid's reasons were simple. First, she was defending a friend. Second, the cloaked woman had been outbid. Third, she needed to keep Seth off her back so he wouldn't have a reason to go after her beloved benefactor. Really, it was pure misfortune for the cloaked lady. There was absolutely no reason for Lucid to go back to her side now.

"Midway! We'll meet at Midway!" She sang, her shotgun appearing in her hands as she went full auto on the attackers. "NA-VAL WAR!"

As Lucid opened fire the two henchmen dashed to the side to avoid the attack, the hooded woman however, made no moves to dodge. Instead the shotgun pellets passed right through her as if she wasn’t there and suddenly…

“Goodness, a shotgun? Children these days…”

The voice came from behind Lucid as the woman who had been standing in front of her began to fizzle and fade away into nothingness. “And like I said, I would appreciate it if you didn’t underestimate us.” If Lucid turned around she would see the hooded woman wave her hand and a pinkish mist coming from it. Should the assassin inhale any of the mist, she would begin to feel sluggish as the sleeping powder took effect.

In the meantime the other two Asahi no Tsuya members continued their assault on Alexia, this time not hold back since Lucid was no longer in harm’s way. The pair approached from the air on either side of the winged girl, throwing more kunais at her. Sariel threw up another shield of ice whilst Rakanoth shot down some of the projectiles. This time however, the kunais exploded in powerful fireballs making Alexia stumble backwards.

“P…please wait…! I…I don’t want f…fight you!” The two assailants were deaf to her pleas and slashed at Alexia with their katanas. Sariel parried one sword slash with a sword of ice and Rakanoth caught the other with a mass of tendrils. “They’re not going to listen Alexia! We have to fight back!”

The girl shook her head furiously, even while her attackers pressed closer. “W…We can’t! Remember what S…Seth said! Bloodshed w…will only breed more bloodshed!” Even if they were three separate beings, Alexia was still able to exert a certain extent of control over Sariel and Rakanoth so the two guardians had no choice but to remain on the defensive.

The reasonable thing to do would have been to flee from the mist. The unreasonable thing, which Lucid did, was hold her breath. She might have been squishy to the touch, but she kept herself in really good shape. Holding her breath for a few minutes, even in a combat situation, was a cinch!

Of course, that meant she couldn't sing. That wasn't very good, but she had a backup plan. Picking up the umbrella she had previously used, she turned the handle and pulled out a long, thin blade. Obviously, she had planned on using it on Alexia earlier, but taking the hooded lady on with it would be her first priority!

Well, until she realized that it'd taint the observation if Alexia went crazy from having to kill those two other Asahi no Tsuya members. Without really thinking it through, she jumped out of the gazebo and into the lake as well. She approached underwater like a shark, intending to pick off those two assailants before they ruined her fun.

A look of surprise appeared on the hooded woman’s features as Lucid dove underwater to avoid the sleeping powder, but quickly regained her composure. “Clever girl that one. It’s a shame, looks like I’ll have to get a little serious here.” Like her companions she drew a katana from her robes and dashed off to join the melee against Alexia.

The girl in question was still keeping Rakanoth and Sariel reined in, but doing so was becoming costly for her. Fighting off the two assailants was hard enough, and the internal conflicts weren’t helping things. Alexia held her head in pain as the strain increased, but still she persisted. Luckily for her Lucid’s timely arrival took the burden off her, if only for a moment.

Coming from the water did well to mask the assassin’s approach, and Lucid was able to catch the assailants off guard. They were professionals as well however, and recovered quickly to continue their attack on Alexia as the hooded woman came up behind Lucid.

“Turning your back to the enemy is the worst mistake you can make girl!”

Her words were followed by a pair of kunais which exploded into a cloud of smoke shortly before reaching Lucid. The woman used the cover and brought herself into striking distance of Lucid and slashed down at the girl!

Turning misery into meaningfulness!
A walk, darkened by rain was what the boy who knew flames seeks. He was finally getting over his fear of water recently, and was actually thinking of learning to swim some time soon. His past experience with water on account of a meeting with a boy with feet quicker than his brain had proven it to be a valuable skill.

Of course, the first step of this learning is overcoming the fear in the first place, which led to this walk in the first place. He saw Alexia and Lucid earlier, though instead of rending the assassin to dust, he let them go. The girl seemed to be of no harm to the other, so he merely gave a small sigh and left.

About 5 minutes later, he had finished his walk, due to how surprisingly cold it was getting, and had noticed a far less welcome figure. The hooded woman had implanted kunai into a shield of ice he recognized as Sariel's ability, along with a puff of smoke, and...the woman about to strike down on Lucid, even people attempting to put an end to Alexia's life!

He knew this wouldn't end well, but it seemed Lucid was innocent in this case. He blasted forward, deciding to help Alexia first, seeing as Lucid could probably handle herself. "Alexia, get down!" He shouted, blasting towards them, and setting off an explosion between the two assailants. They'd be blown back quite far if they didn't get away from the blast-zone, and despite Shirena's efforts to control the blast away from Alexia's direction, she's be blown back a bit too, if she didn't get out of the way.

Whoa, these guys were good! Tricky, tricky indeed. But they should really know better than to talk. Lucid would make that mistake, but only because she wasn't all that well trained. With that, the assassin leapt to the side to avoid the slash. Apparently, Shirena was now on the scene as she heard his voice.

Hmm. 'Gravity' strikes again!

Now doggy-paddling on the surface of the water, Lucid took the time to breath. She wasn't tired, but she figured that she'd have to go concrete shoes on somebody. Might as well make sure she had a full tank before she tried. Her chance came soon, as she positioned herself so that she'd be able to catch one of the assailants if they fell into the water.

And by catch, she meant blade first.

Alexia, or rather, Sariel, heard Shirena’s warning and quickly erected a shield of ice between Alexia and the explosion. It was lucky that the pale woman reacted so quickly seeing how the explosion had enough force to crack the shield. Without it, it was likely that Alexia would get more than a few bruises. Her two assailants were not as lucky. While they were quick enough escape the primary explosion, the shock did disorient them. This wasn’t too bad for one of them, but for the one Lucid targeted it would prove to be disastrous.

As the unlucky assailant fell, Lucid’s blade pierced his leg. A dark murky liquid poured from the wound and into the lake. It didn’t look like that stopped him though, only slowed him down. Even as Lucid dragged him into the lake he struggled like a wounded animal all the way, lashing out at whatever part of the girl he could reach.

The hooded woman either didn’t notice her fallen comrade or didn’t care about his fate and instead rushed straight at Alexia while throwing a smoke kunai and a flash kunai at Shirena. “Stay out of this boy, don’t be a fool!” Her charge took right behind Alexia who was still staggering from Shiren’a blast and slashed down, aiming to cut off Sariel’s wing!

Lucid expected them to slide off the ice. She didn't expect an explosion, not at all. Luckily, she didn't quite process it by the time she started dragging the one she caught into the water. That man was really doomed now, so said 'gravity'. He struggled against his cursed fate, but she had a trump card.

As the two of them struggled underwater, the fool reached out to the man's neck and closed two fingers around his carotid. With her near-inhuman strength, she pinched it tight.

Now, it didn't take a genius to realize what would happen if somebody had their blood supply to their brain cut off. She clung on like an anaconda, music playing in her empty mind as she drowned and strangled the hooded attacker with callous abandon. It was up to Shirena to protect Alexia from the other two Asahi no Tsuya assassins.

Shirena grinned upon seeing the effectiveness of his attack, but his small celebration was cut short when he could, almost faintly feel another presence coming to them. He looked behind him, and saw the hooded woman from before. And a kunai coming right past him, and partially blinding him blinding him. "AH!" He flailed around, and quickly rubbed his eyes, before seeing the smoke, and a faint image of the woman and Alexia (who was kinda easy to tell from the two living wings.) He ran over as she began to slash down, and quickly ran over, and throwing a swift punch to her jaw, or what he perceived as her jaw.

Upon his possible impact, he would quickly regain his focus, and blind the woman with his powers, removing her sight while he could, and hopefully keep her at bay.

And all this is happening... where, at the school grounds?

You're right, Seth Ryouga wouldn't accept that.

Appearing out of nowhere like a phantom in the night, right in the middle of the conflict between Alexia, Shirena and the hooded woman. First, a kick on the winged girl's back to shove her away from the other two. Then, he reached out to grab the hooded woman and Shirena's wrist, before they could deliver their intent. "NO FIGHTING," With his herculean strength neither of them would be able to make him release him unless they slice off his hand, and with the same strength the young man tugged on both of them up into the air- "ON SCHOOL GROUNDS!!!" -before unceremoniously slamming both of them onto the ground like rag dolls!

Yep, he's angry.



~In the meantime~

The real phantom (or at least half a phantom) had dived into the lake with Lucid and one of the assailant. The girl in green, Kotoka Youma, quickly swam towards the two, grabbing the man by the scruff of his collar and tries to drag him back up to the surface. But not without drawing her sword, Hakurouken, and pointing it at Lucid's face with an expression that clearly said, Let go of him or this goes right through your head.

It's been a while since she's had that murderous look in her eyes.

Youma’s arrival came too late for the Asahi no Tsuya assailant, and a large bubble of air escaped his mouth a few seconds after the half phantom showed up. His body went limp in Lucid’s arms, and if she let go of him now it would sink to the depths.

Back on the surface Shirena’s attempt to blind the hooded woman went pretty well, but even without her vision she was close enough strike blindly and still hit her target… if it weren’t for Seth’s sudden appearance.

Alexia cried out in pain as Seth’s kick struck her squarely in the back, sending her tumbling further into the lake. Luckily Sariel was there to freeze the water so the girl wouldn’t drown, even if landing on ice was more painful than landing on ice. The hooded woman had it much worse though. Being thrown into the ground by a super-powered human was not good for her health, and she lay there, stunned and wheezing for breath.

Of course, Rakanoth didn’t take too kindly to Seth kicking Alexia like that. “What did you think you’re doing!? Who’s side are you on anyways!?” Sariel was clearly unhappy with the young man’s actions as well, but was less vocal about it. Alexia however, was quick to defend her saviour. “C…calm down Rakanoth! He did that so we could get awa…”

SHNNK!!

A chilling silence followed, and Alexia looked down at the bloody blade protruding from her chest. In all the commotion, the other Asahi no Tsuya assailant that everyone seemed to have forgotten about had snuck up behind Alexia and stabbed her through the chest. The girl collapsed to her knees and the ice she was standing on began to crack as Rakanoth and Sariel’s powers waned as well. Seeing his chance the assailant pulled out a kunai and made to stab Alexia in the head!

Ding ding ding, +1 to kill count. Oh well. It didn't matter to Lucid at all. He was just another body to toss onto a pile. She let Youma snatch him out of her arms, figuring he was too dead to be revived. End of the line for the cloaked man.

Now, it was time to swim to the top. She poked her head out of the water and took a deep breath.

"Wooow, Youma. You really are devoted to Saint Ryouga's beliefs. But that's okay, everybody can do what they want." She laughed, a few seconds before she realized what had just happened above the surface. Then she laughed even harder.

"I NEED A HERO, I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO 'TIL THE MORNING LIGHT!" She sang as she squeezed off two shots at the cloaked assailant who was trying to put a kunai in Alexia's head.

To think he actually took a second to heave a sigh of relief when he managed to step in.

He didn't think there would be another one completely missed.

As if that wasn't enough for the things to happen all at once, from the corner of his eyes there was Youma emerging from the lake with the attacker that nearly drowned, as well as Lucid. Next moment, she was singing and drawing out her gun.

Whatever happened after was purely impulsive, fueled by nothing more than his emotion.

"I SAID-!!!"

Both the hooded woman and Shirena would be deafened by a powerful boom as Seth kicked down on the ground so hard to propel himself forward he broke the ground, leaving behind a crater in his wake.

"-NO ONE-!!!"

He kicked forward into the ice, stopping his tremendous acceleration and momentum right where he wanted to be and subsequently broke the ice with a powerful crack. The attacker's kunai was caught and smashed in his sliced and bloodied vice grip-

"-NEEDS TO DIE!!!"

-Before he was received a face-full of the young man's fist that would knock him out and off into the lake!

There's also something else.

BOOM!!!

Two of it in fact.

Did you know that Lucid's shotgun is modeled after the AA-12, and it's ammunition consists of the deadly Frag-12? It's a special kind of shotgun ammunition that is honestly a lot closer to a grenade than your typical slug or buckshot. Of course it comes in many different flavors, the plain HE, fragmentation or HEAP but whichever one it really is...

His mind went numb for a moment. Even if the ice had held his legs certainly couldn't. A pained cough escaped him as his hands instinctively went to cover the gaping, burning wound on his side.

Blood was pouring profusely from the wound, coloring the lake and the ice a deep ominous red.

As strong as he is, he doesn't have iron skin.

Just for a moment though.

"NOT... YET...!"

It all happened in the span of just a few seconds. The young man reached down and caught the winged girl in his arm, before once again kicking off the breaking ice, away from the lake and back to dry land. It wasn't exactly a smooth landing though, the daze from receiving Ludid's shot broke his concentration and he just kind of crashed onto the ground.

The assailant saw Lucid taking aim but completely ignored her, completely committed to killing Alexia. To him, his life was a small price to pay if it meant the end of Alexia’s. The same could be said for all of the Asahi no Tsuya if the ferocity of their attacks were any indication. Luckily for him, and Alexia, the shockwave that was Seth intervened before both attacks landed, and the man was out cold before he hit the water.

Alexia managed to look up enough to see Seth stop the kunai with his hand and take the shotgun blast, and tried to say something but only ended up coughing up some blood. She stayed silent even as Seth dragged her back to shore, only letting out a small grunt of pain when she crashed unceremoniously alongside the young man.

Meanwhile the hooded woman had recovered enough to crawl to her side and looked at Alexia, a smile creeping onto her face. “H…Hah… I didn’t think it would end so easily… I guess that means m…my job’s done here, thanks to you Mr. Ryouga…”She flipped over on her back, looking up at the cloudy sky.

“Heimdallr!!!”

A brilliant flash of rainbow light came from the heavens, piercing clouds and hitting the hooded woman dead on. It lasted for a good minute before fading, and when it did the only signs of the woman left was a ring of engraved characters in the dirt.

As for Alexia, the winged girl lay there as a pool of blood grew beneath her. Both her wings were growing faint, but her tail extended with its maw at the ready as if seeking prey… Lucid might not know what it meant, but for Seth and Shirena, they should have a clear idea of what was going on. After all, they’ve seen it before…

"How informative, so it really can hurt Saint Ryoga...." Lucid smiled as she swam back to shore. Everything was alright, after all! Well, aside from the part where the hooded lady clearly said something that was Viking. Oh, gosh.

"Let me guess, Sophia's involved because she's a Viking. Vikings flock to other Vikings, it's a fact!"

No. No, not in the least. But she didn't really think it was wrong.

"Oh, yeah. In case you didn't know, Alexia totally hired me to be her bodyguard. Actually, I'm pretty sure you didn't know that, because you don't do detective work anymore." She wrung out her sleeves as she talked to Seth. "So congratulations, I'm shooting with her instead of at her!"

Speaking of which, her new boss' tail was growing teeth. Hmm. Teeth. Teeth were for eating. So....

"We should cram something into that tail before it eats us." She concluded. "Hey, isn't Youma holding a dead guy?"
