16 ☬ Accidental video/teneka; ☬ Vena Cava, heart starter; the doctor is INSANE
[There's heavy breathing when the PORTAL buzzes on, as if someone's in the middle of fighting, or just got finished. The muted sounds of battle filter through, but when the video clicks on, there's no actual fighting anywhere nearby
( Read more... )
Aibou, we need to move. NOW.
[The urgency in Nithal's voice unnerves her to no end, so back to the house they go!]
Krypta, come on!
Reply
Lii might be able to feel what she's going through, a little. Right now Krypta's trying to keep it all in so people don't worry. But she knows something's wrong, something has to be. That voice is louder than ever and she can't make it go away and everything hurts-
And then things get worse, as she suddenly hurls blood all over the floor, body shaking and convulsing because she has no clue what the hell's going on.]

Krypta? Deep breaths, focus on our voices ... Please don't let this be happening-
Keep your distance, I fear we might already be too late.
I'm not going to let it happen - not again, not to someone like this, Nithal. You know this.

[Another shot of pain right down her spine, and Krypta jolts upwards, arching her back as she tries to not scream out again. There's something forming on her face, though- scales. Red, dark, the color of blood. She's bleeding as they force their way through her skin, making her even a mess and almost incapable of speech. She hoists herself onto her knees, just in time to face another backlash of blood vomiting.
But once that's done, she makes herself force out the words, trying so hard to keep herself there.]
Go... run... please...
Reply
[She grits her teeth, a hand instinctively snaking toward one of her swords as her synched aura with Nithal flares, gold eyes narrowing.]
And whoever you are that's behind this - your ass is ours.
[At that last word, both Madsen and Nithal speak at the same time, voices lowered to show that they are dead set on their intent.]

She dips her head to the floor again, shaking, as there's screams echoing from the darkest part of her mind. She is in so much pain she can't say anything, fighting against this unknown force, as hands turn into claws and spikes begin showing up all over.
To say she's never felt this much pain before is an understatement. Not even when she died was she ever in this much torment.
But there's still something that reaches out to speak to Lii... but it's not Krypta at all.]
Didn't your mother ever tell you it's bad to lie, fledgling~?
Reply
[At this point, her pupils are narrowing to slits as her eyes are blazing gold, flames forming almost another phoenix around her body as both her and Nithal's sentiments resonate, their minds, their souls - all in synchronization. Both of them had lost people they cared about - darknesses they both had to conquer. There was no way they were going to let this stand without a fight.]
We won't say this again, demon. Relinquish control of her. NOW.
Reply
[What was once a shaking girl has pretty much become a silent corpse by now, the screams still apparent, but dying out with time. She doesn't move, doesn't breathe. It's as if the entire takeover has worn her out in and of itself.]
But if you say it nicely, I'll leave. Simple as that~
Reply
[One sword is unsheathed, though they're making no move. Not until they get a better idea of what the hell they're dealing with here.]

It's hard to tell whether she's dead or alive, or just waiting.]

Burning gold eyes, meet burning red. Flaming phoenix, meet an aura that can rival yours and coming straight out of Hell. A twisted chuckle echoes in the room, and "Krypta's" smile twists and widens into a sickening grin, revealing the fangs that accompany a demon from the inner depths of the underworld.]
Don't act so stale, phoenix. All I want to do is play a game. You know how to act in those, right~?
Reply
but when she's pulled in, all that she can muster is a snarl, flames flaring out from her back. A low growl, accompanied by Nithal's voice as well, emits from her throat, only to have her other hand reach out with a flaming elbow to the chest before an attempt to back off in a flash of flame, faster than she had ever attempted before.]
I think both of us can say this is no fucking game, you psychopathic bitch. Who the fuck are you and why are you in my friend's body.
Reply
A wry smile forms on her lips, and while no one can talk at night, the sound of twisted laughter is heard very clearly in the silence.]
You ask for a name after declining my invitation to play? Really, I don't know if you're worth it if you're not willing to be a good sport.
[A blink, and she's gone from her spot, but is closer than Lii might realize. The girl might feel a breath on her neck as "Krypta" leans in from behind, thinking words into her head like a whisper into her ear.]
Though I suppose you've proved yourself in other ways. I have fought you, after all.
[Oh, and one more thing: Blazing aura? What blazing aura? She's standing there, in the flames, as if she's not feeling anything- which she isn't.
You're dealing with a very strong opponent here, Lii. Hope you're ready.]
I'd give you a name, girl- but unfortunately I don't have one. At least, not for hundreds of years.
Reply
[This isn't good, her anger levels are rising, but nothing's being done to temper it - Nithal's trying to figure out alternatives, possibilities to attack, but he hasn't fought an enemy like this for far too long - one of his worst fears is realized - even though he's been helping Madsen grow stronger, he has been at the same level - yes, there was the occasional fight but that wasn't anything like this -
And both of them snap to attention, stiffening as Psuedo is behind them, how the hell can she stand that heat - and the both of them look back, teeth bared as they move in unison in another flash of flames, swords drawn and ready to attack.]
If you're aiming to scare us, know that it's not working. Krypta ... we'll get you out of this. We swear it.
Reply
[She stands there, obviously amused by Lii's reaction. At the mentioning of knowing the enemy, she just chuckles.]
Persistent, hmm? Then again, it's you. I don't think she'd expect any less.
['She'd' is said with disdain, like the demon has a foul taste in her mouth. It's not too hard to pick up that she's talking about Krypta.]
If you're so inquiring for a name, I'll give you it- though with a little twist.
[There's a smirk as she opens her mouth slightly, letting the snake-like tongue slither out as she takes a few steps forward, mockingly stroking her chin with a claw.
Then, her face twists into another amused and wicked grin.]
Call me Pseudo. Humans are too stupid to pronounce my real name anyway, you're no exception.
[Again, when she hears Krypta being mentioned, Pseudo rolls her eyes and looks bored. The two of them trying to 'save' her is really pathetic and pointless.]
She can't hear you, you know. I've just gone and buried her like she buried me for years. Karma, as they ( ... )

Focus, Aibou. We can't afford to be sloppy here.
Right.
A deep breath, jaw set, and Madsen seems to become eerily calm - now that she and Nithal are more in synch than ever, her voice gains a duality in it - echoing each other's feelings and sentiments. You've just opened a deadly can of worms, Psuedo.]
Don't go underestimating humanity. Our flames will burn brighter and clearer than anything you could ever attempt.
[And with that, they're gone in a flash, shifting to take Psuedo in a side strike with both swords.]
