"Bring it..." Sakura smirked, confident she would win.
"Oh I see..." she frowned, "Well we wuldn't want that now would we?"
“Annoying mortal!†Alecto hissed as she dove ahead of her sisters and tried to land a blow to her face. Bellatrix quickly caught her fist but didn't see the other claw coming straight at her side. She gasped as pain ran through her body, only multyplying as Alecto twisted her claws trying to make the wound worse. Bellatrix snarled and elbowed her in the face with her free hand. Alecto pulled back, surprised, when Megaera and Tisiphone came to her help and grabbed Bellatrix's arms. “Now let's see you defend yourself†Alecto smiled cruelly before punching Bellatrix in the gut. She let out a cry of pain and hung her head, careful to not let them see the smirk on her face. As Alecto went for another hit, her wrist was caught by Bella's chains. “What the!?†She quickly backed up, trying to free herself when the Avenger and Grudging hissed in annoyance as well. As soon as her hands were freed, Bellatrix backed away from them and watched in delight as they struggled to free themselves. “How is this possible!? Your hands weren't free to grab them!†Tisiphone screamed. “They're a part of me, and if I'm in trouble I can make them come alive†Bella smirked, taunting them. “Lies!†Megaera hissed and to everyone's surprise, she bit the chains. The venom from her fangs dripped onto the dark metal, dissolving it. She looked up and met Bell's surprised gaze, her eyes a bright, fiery crimson. Bellatrix realized she was frozen to the spot, rooted as memories plagued her again. Its their eyes.... But before Bella could do anything, she was already on her knees again, the Fates surrounding her whispering again. The dissolving chains behind them. “Tell me, young one....how many lives did you destroy?†Tisiphone whispered. “How many families did you separate?†Alecto hissed. “How many dreams did you crush?†Megaera snarled. “I did what I had to do!†Bella yelled, trying to defend herself. She tried to shut her eyes, to block it all out, to silence their mesmerizing voices. “You know damn well that all your sins could have easily been avoided!†Alecto backhanded her, sending Bell sprawling to the ground. “You had all the influence of your world and yet you still chose the wrong path!†Megaera kicked her. “You're a creature of evil, of course you would say that†Tisiphone snarled as she stepped on Bellatrix's right arm, sounds of breaking could be heard. But not only from her arm. The pain caused Bellatrix to open her eyes and look into those of the Erinyes, whose hate and disgust could easily be seen. She could hear their thoughts loud and clearly. Alecto's....You're nothing but a waste of space that destroyed your whole world.....Megaera's.... You're just like that Atlantean goddess, Apollymi, goddess of destruction and chaos. Tisiphone's....You should never have been created or allowed to live. Everyone would be better off if you were destroyed. Maybe everyone would be better off...Bella sat up, listening to their sharp words and insults. A part f her wanted to give in, succumb to their final judgment and blow. But another part told her that was idiotic. The Fates only knew her dark deeds. As with everyone else they had ever judged, they never saw the good in someone. After all, there wasn't anything bad as long as there was good to compare it against. Bellatrix smirked, her head hung low, as she felt the Fates' hold on her loosen. Her chains appeared in her hand again as she gave a hard yank. Instantly Megaera and Alecto were knocked into each other and with another solid yank, they were thrown into Tisiphone. All three snarled in surprise and scrambled to get up. Bellatrix chuckled as she yanked again, this time sending Meg and Alec flying. Tisiphone watched in horror when she saw the spikes from Bella's chains were still embedded in their wings. “Just because they're not seen doesn't mean they're not there!†Bella explained before tackling her to the ground. The other two were distracted as they tried to dislodge the spikes. Bellatrix and Tisiphone exchanged blows as each tried to gain the upper hand. It went on for a while before Bellatrix finally managed to put the Avenger in a sleeper hold and watched in relief as she stopped struggling and slumped to the floor. “One down two to g-!†Bellatrix was suddenly flying through the air as Alecto lifted her in the sky. Megaera meanwhile was trying to wake Tisiphone up. “You little pest!†she shrieked and as soon as they were high above the arena, too high to even see it, Alecto let go. Bella screamed as she fell to the ground at a terrifying speed before quickly tugging on her chain once more. This had better work. A cracking and splattering sound could be heard as Bella made her landing...right on top of Megaera. She lay under Bella, both had broken bones but Meg was in a way worse shape but still alive. As Bell had been falling she managed to tug her across the ring again. Knowing she would be concerned for Tisi, she would try to get back to where the Avenger lay unconcious. Thankfully the timing had been perfect or Bella wouldv'e been roadkill. Now there was only one left to deal with. She heard Alecto's scream of anguish as she saw the scene below her. “You disgusting nobody!†she shrieked as she charged at Bella, her fangs exposed, her eyes full of murderous rage. OOC: Lol, sorry I'm dragging this out so much...Next one is the last part. Oh and thanks DK, Pirate! ^o^
OOC: Thanks DK XD BIC:“So young one...” Megaera began. “What do you have to say for your crimes?”Alecto hissed. “Or can I pass my judgment already?” Tisiphone asked. “What are you? My judge, jury, and executioner?” Bella asked, annoyed yet a bit scared at the same time. “Why of course” Alecto cackled. Magaera and Tisiphone smirked as well, sending chills down Bella's spine. They held each other's hands and closed their eyes, still for a moment. I should attack them now! But I can't move....why can't I move?! Bella watched as snarls erupted from the Furies, their beautiful faces twisted in harsh scowls, fangs protruding. Their skin began to change to a dark, sinister, swirling gray. Some of their hair began to change and come alive into a wreath of serpents as their hair turned a dull, coal black. They managed to reain their human shape with the only exception being their hands turning into sharp, menacing claws. Megaera opened her eyes first, they were a blood curdling red. “Guilty” she hissed in a high, sharp tone, making Bella wince. “Guilty” Alecto agreed, her hiss even higher than Megaera's. Her eyes were an icy blue. “Guilty” Tisiphone declared, her eyes a harsh green as she exposed her fangs. Blood dripped from them and what startled Bella the most was when they hit the ground, the earth actually rotted away as if touched by acid. She woud have to avoid those at all costs. Then, all of a sudden the three rose and lunged at her, eager for the blood bath to come. Yet Bellatrix was rooted to the spot, frozen by fear. I have to move! I can't believe this! A nobody frozen by fear! What good is it to not have a heart if I still feel all the weaknesses! Man, I wish I was a nobody......Oh wait, I am a nobody aren't I? Bella smirked and felt her regain control of her limbs as she nimbly dodged the Erinyes who shrieked and turned to attack her once again. Bellatrix pulled out her chains and threw the spiked ends at them. Two of them managed to dodge but the youngest, Megaera was struck in her wing. She shrieked and reached to pull it out but before she could it disappeared, leaving a hole in her wing. “You little bi-!” Bella couldn't hear the end of her insult, nor even rein her chain back in, before Alecto dove at her side and grabbed her neck while Tisiphone grabbed a fistful of hair. She could feel their breath on her skin and that was enough to make her want to scream in pain. Every one of their breaths felt like someone was lighting her skin on fire. Bella hissed in pain, cursing herself for allowing them the window of opportunity. But having them so close gave Bella an idea. Quickly she sent her chain after Alecto, causing her to jump back in an attempt to avoid the spiked ends. Yet she still tried to hold onto Bella's neck, trying to snap it, preventing her to get far before the chain ripped through her own wing and then wrap around her whole body. Tisiphone instantly let go, seeing that this time it wouldn't disappear and leaving Bella to jump back and regroup. She couldn't enjoy the two Fates panicking before Meaera rushed at her, landing a succesful punch to Bella's gut. Bella gasped and backhanded her, causing her to back up in and hiss. With her concentration broken the chain dissapeared leaving Tisiphone and Alecto free to help Megaera. All three of them came together and lunched themselves at her, leaving Bella with hardly any time to dodge. They hissed frustrated before smirking. “Its so good to have such a wonderful opponent” Alecto complemented. “Yes, one with such practice and precision” Tisiphone grinned. “I wonder....how did you become so good?” Megaera asked, trying to look innocent. Though it was kind of hard with those blood covered poisonous fangs. Those blood red eyes.....Instantly memories resurfaced and Bella fell to her knees, clutching her head. “Quit it!” Bellatrix screamed, trying to get a hold of herself. They simply laughed and lunged at her. They tackled her to the ground and kicked her in her side. Bella snarled in pain and took out her chain, sending it right at them. They gracefully dodged and resumed in their torture. They surrounded her, whispering what they knew of her. Their voices changed to those of people who had begged for life before Bell had ended it, to those who had scorned her and made her life miserable, to those that had stayed by her side through thick and thin yet died by her own hands. There was no greater torture for her, than being reminded of that which she had lost. And they knew it. She rolled up in a ball as the Fates continued to torture her. No one in the stands could hear them, yet they could plainly see what was happening. The battle seemed over. After a few minutes, Bella could bear it no more. “Just end it, please” she whispered, tears in her eyes. “How pathetic” Alecto spit. “And here I was, hoping for something exciting” Megaera sighed. Tisiphone grabbed Bella's hair and pulled her up so they could look into each other's faces. “You are the worst thing ever created. You brought nothing but pain and destruction with your existence to those who love and care for you. We are doing everyone a favor right here and now. We are doing you a favor” She raised her claw and poised it at Bell's neck. “Too bad the other's aren't here to see it” As the claw descended, Bella thought about the Avenger's words. Those who love and care for you....She couldn't seriously leave like this could she? Sure she wanted a rest from her past, but like this? She was just running away again. Like always. She was so pathetic and weak. Always staying back, always running away, her words of bravery nothing but lies. She had to prove she wasn't a weakling. And this was no way to do it. Just before the claw could reach her neck, one of Bellatrix's chains wrapped around it and threw Tisiphone all the way across the ring. Before the other two could react, they joined her across the field. Bellatrix stood up, a confident smirk in her face. “yeah its too bad they're not here to see me kick your butts” The three shrieked at her and quickly flew at her, determined to kill her. OOC: *sigh* g2g. See ya'll later
“Oh man! Crap, crap, crap!†Bella muttered fretfully as she ran to the arena where her match was being held. She had been watching everyone else's match earlier but as she sensed hers coming, she had sneaked off to a private place to practice a bit more with the new moves she had come up. After all, sleeping wasn't the only thing she did when the others were off. She had been keeping tab on her time, but as she trained, she became immersed in her moves. Concentrating hard on making them feeling natural and easy. Although that was easier said than done, especially with the most dangerous move she had come up with. She had only tried it once, curious with her fast healing ability, but as soon as she had she was thankful the others hadn't been around. It wasn't exactly a very....safe....move. It wasn't until a young messenger had been sent to fetch her, telling her that if she didn't get to the ring in five minutes she would be forfeit. And of course, Bellatrix wasn't about to let that happen. “Ha!†Bell exclaimed as she made it to the arena in time, with time to spare actually, As she walked towards the field, she looked around and saw hardly anyone there. Of course....There were probably more interesting matches somewhere else...Plus hers was one of the very last ones going on. They had probably already started the second round matches therefore people were more excited to see those than the last dredges of the first round. Oh well, this would probably be really easy and boring anyway. Her matches were never that long or painful. And right now....it didn't look like there would be a match at all. There was no one on the other side and time was almost up. Where was her opponent? After a few anxious seconds of waiting, a beautiful woman walked gracefully to her spot across from Bellatrix. She had beautiful yet somewhat cold features. Her skin was as white as newly fallen snow yet looked as strong and resilient as crystal. Her hair was a deep reddish brown that went down to her waist, complemented by her honey colored eyes. Her lips were a bit out of place though. They were a dark red, blood red to be exact. They were twisted up in a warm smile, almost like as though she were smiling at a friend rather than an opponent. She wore what looked like an old, wrinkly, gray cloak that just barely reached the ground. Bella noticed that as she walked, the cloak didn't rustle or move as normal ones did. In fact, it stayed straight down, only moving up and down when her shoulders did. Bell couldn't see her arms either....but then again, she was wearing a cloak. “I apologize for my near lateness†she said apologetically, her smooth smiling face turned down into a concerned frown, her voice a gentle high soprano, “But I didn't realize I would be fighting so soon. Especially against you†Bella looked shocked for a second. So this wasn't her original opponent. The who was she? Was this truly her replace opponent? It couldn't be.... “It seems your original opponent had a....†she hesitated, seeming to be looking for the right words, “Accident....Therefore, they had no choice but to let us, I mean, me in†Frowning, Bella contemplated her words. An accident? That seemed oddly convenient....but for who? They had no choice but to let us, I mean me....Before she could say anything, her strange opponent was already walking towards her, holding her hand out. The cloak seemed almost attached to her hand, moving along with her arm straight as ever. She noticed that her rival's other hand was clutched tightly just below her armpit, allowing Bells only to see a hint of a white satiny shirt. Bella stared at her curiously and suspiciously. “My name is Tisiphone, the avenger†she stopped in front of Bell, still holding her hand out,†How about a shake for good luck?†Bellatrix smiled and put her hand out, seeing no reason why not to. Tisiphone smiled as well and reached out to shake her hand. As soon as their hands touched though, Bella wanted to scream and quickly dropped her hand while taking a few steps back. “What was that?!!†Tisiphone's smile dropped, replaced by a smug smirk and a murderous look in her eyes. “That is just your trial†Tisiphone replied coldly. When their hands had touched, Bellatrix had seen hundreds of memories of everything she had done in her past life, everything that she had been trying to forget....everything she had ignored...everything she knew that was always shadowing her moves. And she was pretty sure by her opponent's smug face, she had seen them too. “Just what kind of person are you?†Bella hissed. Tisiphone's high, musical laugh mocked her. “Let me introduce us properly†she stretched out her hands and Bella could see for the first time that it wasn't a cloak she was wearing, they were wings. When they were stretched out, the creamy white, thin membrane could be seen, tiny blood vessels running through them. They looked exactly like a bat's wings. As Bellatrix watched her flex her arms/wings, she heard rustling behind her, followed by the gentle landing of two similar gods on either side of Tisiphone. On her left side was a 'woman' with short bronze colored hair down to her shoulders, passionate crimson eyes, and creamy peach skin. Her wings were darker than Tisiphone's, slightly reddish as well. She glared at Bella, her mouth set in a firm frown. On the other side was another one with light, golden ringlets of hair reaching her thighs, calculating hazel eyes, and beautifully tanned skin. She had rosy colored wings, which reminded Bella of a person blushing. She seemed impatient as she fidgeted, glancing occasionally everywhere with irritated eyes. “This is Alecto, the angry†Tisiphone motioned to the bronze haired one,who simply snarled a bit in response “And this is Megaera, the grudging†The golden haired one inclined her head in acknowledgment. “We are the Erinyes otherwise known as the Furies†Tisiphone declared. “We are the earth goddesses who symbolize divine justice or vengeance, whichever you prefer†Megaera's calm, melodic voice explained. “We persecute crimes such as disrespect, injustice, perjury, or arrogance†Alecto continued in her sharp, icy voice, “But first and foremost-murder†“Especially of one within the family†Tisiphone added. Bellatrix froze, her eyes wide, as she looked at the three goddesses. Something from her memory stirred as they glared back at her quietly. She remembered reading somewhere about them. She couldn't remember too much about them but one thing has stood out the most. They were known for their unbound lust for punishment. Even after death, they would pursue the guilty person, relentless until the person showed remorse. And of course, Bella had to be their opponent. The one member of the organization who had murdered someone in her family, the one thing the Furies punished the hardest. Easy battle, yeah right. OOC: Meh, took me a while to put this up....I'll put up the rest when I'm done editing it... And I agree with Wing. We need some new blood in here...X3
OOC: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAXED!!! XD Sorry to hear about school....Btw, guys mine starts next week,...XP And gomen, for not being here ina while. But all of you know where I've been...XD
Sakura smirked as they lunged at her. With her activated sword she quickly striked the ground, focusing as a wall of earth came up to protect her from the fire. At that moment, she forget about Nightwolf though, causing her to get distracted. Inlustris was tight in her hand though, ready to block an attack form her side.
"Well they better hurry before I die of boredom..."
Sakura quickly ducked Nightwolf's punch, elbowing him in the gut as she did. She smirked as she backed away from him, Well this is certainly getting interesting.
Sakura blocked them using her sword and stared curiously at the three guys. Are they all here to attack me...? She put some distance between her and them, her sword in a defensive position, "And you guys are...?"
OOC: XD BIC: "Guess we'll have to wait and see...I think Sora can handle it anyway" Riku said.
"...?" Riku shrugged, "It couldn't be any worse than what you guys did to me..."
Riku waited until they calmed down.....or at least close to it....., "Can I change back now?"
Riku sighed and nodded, thankful that they hadn't even thought of a thong....and watched as they left."The things I do..." he muttered as he listened to them outside. Riku chuckled, quickly put on what they left him and looked himself in the mirror, stunned at the sight. The kimono seemed to match perfectly with the make up and his hair do seemed to match as well. If no one had known him, they certainly would have thought he was born a girl. He smiled, "Hey I look pretty good...." He laughed and opened the door, blushing as he did, "How do I look?"
Riku's face was a deep red as he strucggled to put the bra on,trying to ignore everyone "How do girls handle these things?" he muttered as he put it on, "Ok, now the underwear..."
".................." Riku was speechless, a girl once more. He looked down and groaned, "Yeah, I'll be needing both..."
"What did I get myself into to?" Riku joked, nervous.
"Oh....but why can't you come back?" Riku opened his eyes and groaned as he saw the kimono, "Well I've already gone this far...And at least it matches, I think..." OOC: Aww...bye Xeph...
Sakura was thrown back but she immediatley regained her balance and rolled out of his way as she activated Inlustris that had been attatched to a strap on her back. "Sneak attack huh?" she muttered, before unstrapping Inlustris and swinging at Nightwolf.
Riku meanwhile tried to stay still,his eyes closed, even though he really wanted to get up and go wash it all off and forget this ever happened....He wondered how he would look like when they were finished though.... "I still don't get it..." Bella muttered, looking at the ground,.
