Chapter 37 – Skadi vs. Yemaya
Skadi stood facing Yemaya who was grinning to herself.
"What are smiling about?" asked Skadi
"I'm thinking about ho I'm going to kill you." She answered
Skadi laughed at this "You kill me, not gonna happen."
Yemaya threw up her arms and a wall of water surrounded them.
"What the!" cried Skadi as she was surrounded by water on all sides
"You shouldn't underestimate us water warriors." Smiled Yemaya
"I'll just freeze this and break it." Laughed Skadi as she raised her dagger
Skadi leaped towards the water swinging her dagger at Yemaya who barely dodged, she didn't however stop herself from receiving a small cut across the cheek.
Yemaya screamed her rage and raced at Skadi who jumped above her, however one of Yemaya's tentacles unbalanced her and she fell to one knee. Yemaya swung her arm and water shot from the walls straight into her wrist causing her to drop the dagger which was swallowed into the water wall. Yemaya then sped forwards and flew out of the water towards another wall but as she went she whipped her tentacles at Skadi who took four sharp blows across her abdomen, she skidded backwards and just stopped herself from entering into a water wall.
"Damn it." Snapped Skadi
"I knew that was the source of your ice powers." Smiled Yemaya "Now you are powerless to stop me."
"You think." Smiled Skadi as she suddenly leaped at Yemaya who stood waiting for the blow and to her amazement just as Skadi reached her she outstretched her palm and a spear of ice shot out towards her, Yemaya gasped in shock as she attempted to dodge but ot managed to skewer her threw the shoulder sending blood splattering onto thye ground.
"How?" asked Yemaya in shock as she clutched her wounded arm and fell to one knee "I took away the item which gives you your powers.
"You see." smiled Skadi "You wanna know who I am, ok then I'll tell you." She bent down to Yemaya's ear and whispered.
"WHAT!?" cried Yemaya "No way! Hahahaha when I kill you ill be so rewarded, no turning you into a useless doll would be even better for when we confront 'him'"
"You still think you're going to beat me." Laughed Skadi
"Of course I am." grinned Yemaya as she whipped the spear out of her body and stood proud and tall "I had no idea I was fighting such an important person, It's time to show you my true powers."
The water wall plummeted downwards and engulfed Skadi, the torrent of water slammed her into a nearby house wall and smashed her through it. The rubble toppled down onto her.
"Told you, you can't possibly match me." Grinned Yemaya
"Owwwwwww." Moaned Skadi "That huuuuuuuurt."
Skadi came stumbling back into the street "That's not enough." She grinned
Yemaya raised her arms and once more the water wall returned but this time it covered the entire square and turned into a maze like form.
"What the hell." Cried Skadi "Damn it."
Skadi looked around for her knife but couldn't see it.
Yemaya came flying out of the water and slammed her head into Skadi's side, Skadi flew into on of the water wall and found herself trapped somehow.
"What's going on?" gasped Skadi as she struggled to free herself
Yemaya came speeding towards her and slammed into her before circling around and slamming into her again.
Skadi screamed in pain as blood escaped her mouth, using all the strength she could she pulled herself free and fell to the ground gasping for air and struggling to get up "D…damn….it." she wheezed
Yemaya landed in front of her grinning revealing a slightly tinted green smile.
Skadi gazed up at her. Yemaya kicked outwards and slammed her foot inot Skadi's side sending her flailing along the ground, Yemaya continued towards Skadi and placed her foot over Skadi's head.
Skadi screamed in pain as Yemaya slowly crushed her head
"Stop it!!!" shouted Skadi
"Why?" asked Yemaya sarcastically "I'm enjoying myself."
Skadi's body was trembling as Yemaya lifted her up with her tentacles.
"Little girls shouldn't play with the big guns." Smiled Yemaya and she proceeded to slam her fists upon Skadi's body
"AGHHHH!' screamed Skadi as pain raced through her body, she was helpless and alone. Her vision began to blur and she felt blood run down her chin, this was followed by a fist hitting her in the face and bursting her nose. Skadi's body went limp. She was stioll conscious but lacked the power to move.
"Is that it?" asked Yemaya again in her sarcastic voice "Oh well too bad, time to take you too Eshu then."
Skadi tried to move but she couldn't. She was powerless too stop Yemaya placing her inside a large water prison that now held her captive.
"You'll feel nothing by this time tomorrow." Smiled Yemaya "You'll be nothing more than an emotionless doll that we'll present to 'him'"

Eshu stood at the window, he was using his magic to watch the events down below "Well who'd have thought I'd capture 'his' daughter." Laughed Eshu "Still none of them could really match Yemaya, there skill is rather disappointing, Tialoc should have no problems capturing a few of them.'
"How's things going?" asked Wedo as he entered the room
"Yemaya has captured Skadi." Answered Eshu "Sanji shall reach Tialoc soon and that should prove to be interesting, of course if his fire leg trick is all he's got then he's finished."
"So then things are going well?" smiled Wedo "That makes our job easier."
"I suppose I really shouldn't underestimate them after all they did beat Genii and he was something else, and beating Bran was good but nothing special." Sighed eshu "I don't know what to make of them, they're too strange."
"They did beat Genii but he never reached his full demonic form in their fight." Said Wedo
"He didn't." gasped Eshu "Well now there's something I didn't know."
Eshu walked over to a large iron door, pressed small red button and entered the chamber.
The chamber was a large white room full of strange electronic equipment with a large machine in the middle, it had a cage on the top and a large black fireplace like exit at the bottom.
"So that's the machine that turn people into dolls." Gasped Wedo as he looked upon it for the first time.
"Time to start it up." Grinned Eshu "I have an Ice Princess to transform."
