Hey guys, look update! So this chapter is going to focus on the ladies and show what kind of action they can do XD Side note: if you submit spells with your OC, I will spell the spell as you did. For example: if you typed Holy beam instead of Holly Beam, I will spell it as such unless you realize the typo and want it fixed. Anyway, please enjoy and give constructive critisum.
"My name is Ieda Hakegu, and I will not allow you to hurt this child!" The women proclaimed.
"All right, I have another plan-" Mylin whispered but was cut off by Merry Ann.
"Ssssssshhhhh! Don't you see those ears? They be cat ears, and they could probably hear us as if we were next to her. Trust me, I should know." Merry Ann said pointing to her own ears. "So if you have a plan, just do it and not say it." she advised
Mylin nodded "Let's go, Firewood." he said, starting to run to the cocoon of a town. Jean followed Mylin running, but keeping an eye on this Ieda.
Idea turned to the male mages, not wanting them to go in and disturb the Spider Child "Priestess Art:" light started to gather on a pendent around her neck "Holy Beam!" the light from the pendent shot out a small beam towards Mylin. He got hit around his thigh, he still could walk, but know his running was more limping. Jean had to support Mylin a bit as they ran, since if Mylin was alone, he could probably fall down as he ran.
As Ieda fired the small laser, Lilly attacked her "Amplifier: Snap!" she her snap as loud as thunder. This was much louder to Merry Ann and Ieda with there more sensitive cat ears. "The hell do you think you are?" she said darkly at Ieda.
"I am Idea Hakegu, priestess of the void, and I-" the priestess was cut of by the angry Lilly.
"So what does that give you an excuse to hurt my team mate?" Lilly asked as she gave another thunderous snap towards Ieda. "It doesn't." she answered her own question. "Merry Ann." Lilly said as the cat girl started to play her Cat in the Cradle.
The net of string between Merry Ann's fingers started to glow pink and project in front of her. "Bungee Net!" she said as Lilly ran into the net. Lilly ran into it, until the net bounced her back into Ieda.
"Amplifier..." Lilly was waiting till she crashed into Ieda.
"Priestess Art..." Ieda put a hand over the pendent and her eyes started to turn white, gathering light.
"Impact!" Lilly said as she crashed into the priestess. The spell made the crash sound thunder, like her snaps. This made Ieda lose concentration and cover her sensitive cat ears. She didn't cast her spell.
Lilly started punching Ieda, since she was above her and had the advantage. Each punch seemed to get louder and louder as it hit.
Ieda couldn't take the sound any more "Holy Beam: The Beam of Light!" she said loudly to hear herself as two beams of light flashed Lilly's eyes.
Lilly covered her eyes, felling her eyes burning from the bright light and couldn't open her eyes.
Ieda got up and placed her hand on the pendent again "I am only here to help the poor child. I harmed your friend so he wouldn't harm the child." she explained "I'm just trying to get it out of the void."
"Bullshit!" Lilly said not believing what Ieda was telling her. She was still mad at what Ieda did and wasn't in a mood to listen. Lilly tried to use her hearing to pin point Ieda.
Lilly throw a few punches. The first few were failures, missing or could be easily dodged for the priestess. Around the fifth punch Lilly landed a hit on Ieda's shoulder.
Ieda winced and backed up a bit for distance "This is irking me." she said starting to sit down, as she covered her pendent with her hand again "They are probably near the poor child already." Ieda said as a magic circle started to appear under her.
The magic circle started out white, as pure as snow, however slowly turned dark. It turned into a deep black color and looked like it was going deep underground, like there was a hole there. The circle started to move in front of the priestess "Void Art: Priestess's Nightmare!"
As Ieda said that something started to slowly rise out of the circle. It was another Ieda! This one looked the same, but had black hair and pink cat ears, the scarf was yellow and on her neck so you could see her mouth, and seemed to wear a lot more reveling clothing. It was like she only wore the bar minimum to so people wouldn't see her privet parts.
"Would you be a dear and take care of those two?" Ieda requested of the clone "I need to stop some others getting to the child."
"Eh, sure, I can kick those bitches' ass." the clone agreed as Ieda nodded and started running to the cocooned Dimeson.
"Merry Ann, go after the original chick. I'll deal with the copy." Lilly told the cat girl. Merry Ann nodded and followed the order, chasing Ieda and preparing a net with her Cat's Cradle.
The clone let Merry Ann pass and smirked "Oh, so you're a cocky one. Well your going to get your ass handed to you even faster than, 'cos I'm way stronger than that priestess. I like to call myself Vains. Vains of the Void, and I'm going to make you sink down to nothingness." Vains taunted the pink haired mage.
Lilly was still blinded from the light Ieda shot at her, but she had adapted to using her ears, using hearing instead of sight."You kind sound cocky to, you recolor!" Lilly said running towards Vains "Amplifier: Impact!" she punched the clone with the sound of her fist bashing into Vains's face. However the clone didn't react like Ieda would to the sound. Vains did wince at the sound, but it wasn't as instance as Ieda's reaction. It was more of how a human would have reacted.
Vains punched back then backed up a bit for distance "Well that punch stings a bit." she said thinking 'This chick just makes things louder, eh? If so, I just need away to protect my ears and I will have this fight guaranteed.'
"Void Art" Vains said putting her arms into the shape of an X "Fissure!" she said as the ground formed a crack and made a deep fissure "Alright, Pinky, let's play a game. I'm sure ya know tug of war, right? Well we're just going to do that with are magical power. The person who is losing will make your side of the ground go down deeper to the abyss. The person who falls all the way down loses. Sound fair?" Vains asked after explaining her game.
Lilly just looked at the clone and said "I just really want to kick your ass so I can get to that Ieda person for hitting my team mate." she had a tone like she didn't want to deal with this clone.
"I'll count that as a yes." Vains said as she was gathering what looked like shadows from the fissure.
Lilly on the other hand was turning up her music from her headphones "Amplifier." Lilly said as the mix of rock and techno music got louder and louder.
Both took a few seconds, as if they were charging up attacks. Vains looked like she had a sea of shadows swirling around her. Lilly's music was so loud, it was like a consort with the amps all the way up to 10 were playing behind her.
Vains's shadows started to gather into her hands as the shadows "Void Art: Subterranean Reflect!"
As Vains was lunching her attack, Lilly attacked as well "Amplifier: Crescendo!" Lilly's music spiked up in volume majorly.
Both attacks striked each other hard. Vains's attack made the ground on Lilly's said sink down, seemingly melting the ground, as if it were acid. The pink haired mage could feel the shadows oddly burn, but it was just pain, she didn't feel like any injuries were really made.
Vains's side cracked up a bit, going down a few layers from the sound. At this point Vains was covering her ears and felt like they were bleeding or her eardrums broke. 'Damn the music!" the clone thought 'I need to get her lower so I can do a better attack... Or go for those headphones of hers.' Vains grinned evilly.
The priestess clone gathered up shadows again. This time she made the shadows swirl above Lilly. 'I also can just be a spoiled brat and just flat-out send her deep into the void.' Vains thought as she made the shadows into a drill "Hope you like dark empty limbos, Pinky!" the clone said loudly so Lilly could hear her thought the loud music. "Void Art: Endless Spiral!" the drill started to fall towards Lilly.
Lilly turned and ran back a little bit, getting out of the drill's range. "H-how?!" Vains asked "How could you notice the drill?! You were blind so you couldn't see it, and the music should of made it so you couldn't hear it!" the clone was flabbergasted.
"Simple, it's echolocation, you ass-hat! Sound mages tend to be good at being human radars at times." Lilly said loudly before taking a deep breath "Amplifier: 1000 Echoes!" Lilly's amplified voice topped the music and echoed a few times like planes flying by.
This overpowered Vains as her side started to crumble and fell back into the void she came from. The land was turned back to normal after Vains fell down into the fissure, as if nothing happened.
When the land went back to normal Lilly collapsed and quickly passed out. She pushed herself to much during her fight with the clone.
Meanwhile outside of the cocooned Dimeson, Ieda was fighting off Merry Ann."Well, I bet ya clone thing is out after that scream." Merry Ann said as she heard Lilly's echo attack.
"Silence, cat woman." Ieda said firing another beam from her pendent at Merry Ann.
"Hey, you're a 'cat woman' yourself." Merry Ann said forming another formation with her string. "Soldier's Bed!" the center of the net made a small katana of string in the middle of the formation. This made the beam stop once it hit.
"You are quite the annoying little thing. When I attack, you simply just do cheep tricks such as stopping or blocking my moves. Is it possible that you don't have any offensive moves of your own, cat women?" the priestess asked
"Firs, I ain't tellin'. Second, my name is Merry Ann, not cat woman. Now get that straight before I choke you with this string."
"I see I stuck a nerve there." Ieda said like this intrigued her.
"Oh yea you did." Merry Ann said angrily. The cat girl was so mad, it was like you could see her forehead vain ready to pop. Merry Ann made the string between her fingers into a classic looking fish net "Fish Net!" she said as the string glowed pink and projected in front of her as a bigger net. She opened her arms up like to hug the priestess to trap her in. Merry Ann then put her hands upside down and held them high up in the air.
This made it like Ieda was stuck in the net, up in the air in front of Merry Ann. "Here's an offensive move for ya." the cat girl said moving her hands up and down as did the net, making Ieda hit the ground hard repeatedly.
As Ieda was getting slammed she put her hands over her pendent, like she was praying. As she did this faint, almost transparent lines started to go towards the priestess. The faint lines slowly became a bright ball of light. "For those who feel down deep in death, may I barrow you in hopes of protection. With this power I use my arts to summon you. Come to me, Tayonithe!" Ieda said as the ball transformed into a scythe.
Ieda used the soul like scythe, that was Tayonithe, to cut the net Merry Ann made. The car eared priestess was breathing heavily and bruised all over. She had used a lot of magic energy to summon Vains and the scythe it's self took more and draining. 'I should now my limits more...' Ieda thought as she lend on Tayonithe, hardly standing.
"You ok there?" Merry Ann asked, thinking Ieda would wear herself out.
Ieda just grunted and hit Merry Ann with the blunt side of Tayonithe. The priestess almost feel after doing a hard swing like that. Merry Ann was out cold from the hit.
An odd crackling roar started to come from the cocoon town. Ieda moved towards it, used the scythe as a walking stick, barely able to walk and still losing energy.
'That roar...' Ieda thought as she entered the cocoon of Dimeson 'They have gotten to her, too poor child. The Infected One.'
MWHAHAHA! Slight cliffhanger, don't ya just love 'em? Anyway next chapter will be what Jean and Mylin were doing as all this was happening. So yea, hope you enjoyed, give constructive critsium, and I'm always happy to accept OCs.
