"Verath-" started Xelkitti, but was cut off by a powerful right hook. "GODS DAMN IT! SNAP OUT OF IT!" she yelled at him, just barely getting out of there in time.
"Shadowsnap!" yelled Xelfan12. Shards of darkness held Verath in his place. "Verath, listen to me! You've GOT to stop it. VERATH!"
The impudent Mazoku had cast a lighting, freeing himself the spell and with amazing speed he had never before demonstrated, managed to catch Xelfan12 headon with an Ice Arrow and at the same time kicked Xelkitti towards the ground as she flew to attack, knocking all the wind and a good bit of blood out of her.
Xelfan12, now enclosed in a thick layer of ice, could only struggle and watch in horror as Verath did the most creative things he had ever witnessed to make Xelkitti bleed. To his very slight relief, the ice blocked out all sounds from the outside, so he did not have to hear the rushing of blood, the tearing of tendons, and ripping of flesh. Nor the screams of pain.
Xelkitti had a very unusually high threshold for pain, but this was too much. It was like those nightmares you have where someone keeps attacking you but you're too slow to hit back and they just keep coming down, bring wave after wave of pain...and blood...
Lucky all the wounds are just physical, she thought as her jugular was ripped open, easily repaired by just a touch of fire element.. But she knew she couldn't. Doing so would put her completely under the control of Dyanst/Shabrinigdo/Ceiphieed/L-sama. Hell, they'd be lucky if they ever got out of this alive. What did the fucking world have against her anyways? Why the hell did Verath always have to be the one to turn on them? Fuck the world. Fuck Dynast. At that moment she hated the whole fucking world. These thoughts sparked a new fire in her, and she found the strength and speed to fight back.
"FIREBALL!" she yelled. Caught off guard Verath as blown to the other side of the icy stadium. That bought Xelkitti enough time to recover enough to stop bleeding so profusely and free Xelfan12 from his frozen cocoon.
