Warrior Priestess Claiming Her First Victory
The moment Tomoe made her challenge to Irma into a Queen's Blade battle, the light appears shingly bright from above and the angel Hachiel also appeared as the Angel witness of the battle.
"These fighters who wishes to enter the Queen's Blade, may all bear witness to your competition. Now the gate of testing will be officially open!" Hachiel declared.
"(Damn it, I should have seen this coming.)" Irma thought cursed at herself while shielding her eyes from the blinding light.
"On this side, we have Tomoe, the Warrior Priestess." Hachiel introduced Tomoe who is getting some of her clothes back on.
"On the other side is the Assassin of the Fang, Irma." Hachisl introduced the other warrior.
"May the most worthy opponent win!" Hachiel declared and set up the magical dome around them and the area with the viewing orbs forming in certain places.
(With Claudette)
"What the…?" Claudette shocked of seeing this.
The viewing orb has appeared above Castle Vance and saw Tomoe in that view surprise to see one warrior she does not recognized, probably something she'll get to know when the official Queen's Blade tournament begins. For now, she will watch the fight from the viewing orbs.
"Let see what you have to offer, Warrior Priestess." Claudette said crossing her arms under her breasts.
(With Scar's Party)
"Look, it's a viewing orb!" Nanael pointed up at the sky for the others to see.
"That means a Queen's Blade battle is happening right now!" Leina shocked.
"Yeah, and looks who is taking part of a battle right now." Risty smirked as she sees Tomoe in the viewing orb and appears to be half naked for some reason.
"Tomoe! I haven't seen her do any battles since we met that one time after I was rescued." Leina surprised and excited to see her battle.
"I think this might be her second battle in a while, wonder she didn't make herself known already?" Nanael tried to guess.
"Isn't it obvious? She's trying to conceal her strength for when she goes fights the stronger opponents in the main event." Echidna pointed out to her companions and lovers.
"Oh, she was trying to avoid fighting anyone the best she could until now." Menace nodded as she started to understand all of that.
"Exactly, now she will have to show off her strength for the land to see." Echidna smiled.
"I don't know, Tomoe wouldn't be the kind of person who would suddenly want to show her strength unless something must've happened to her." Leina stated.
"Perhaps Shizuka has been taken hostage by that Irma girl." Scar said as the viewing orb shows Irma glaring back.
"What makes you say that?" Nanael asked.
"Just a gut feeling. But if that were the case, then Tomoe is gonna have to give this fight her all in order to save her friend." Scar stated.
"I can't believe someone would do such a thing just for a fight, it's dishonoring to warriors everywhere." Leina disappointed of this Irma taking such a drastic step for a fight.
"No, Irma wouldn't be doing that unless something happened during her mission." Echidna stated with a concern look on her face as she is worried for Irma.
"How odd, it almost sounds like you actually know that Irma girl." Seta chuckled looking at the dark elf woman sexually.
"Perhaps I do, want to hear a story?" Echidna asked with a wink and leaning onto Scar's shoulder.
"After the fight, I want to see how Tomoe will fair in this battle." Scar said with his eyes glued to the viewing orb.
"She'll win, I know she can." Leina believed in the priestess woman strongly.
Echidna again looks at the viewing orb seeing that Irma girl again with her face changing into a slight look of sadness, she places her hand onto the spot of her chest where the heart is and knowing what that girl is really planning in the Assassin of the Fang and her goal to accomplish in life.
"(It looks like you've really gotten yourself into a big mess, my little cat girl.)" Echidna thought worried a little for Irma.
(With Noir and Aldra)
"Oh dear, it would seem that Irma have gotten herself caught in the Queen's Blade battle." Noir said with a grin.
"It would seem the assassin has now fallen into the web of the tournament with the only way out is to fight." Aldra sighed, disappointed that one of her best assassins have been spotted like this.
"Well, she is fighting one of the foreign warriors that came across the sea. Perhaps it is not lost, my lady." Noir stated.
"How so, my love?" Aldra asked.
"If she were to win, then she can get take those two warriors back here to the capital so you can question them meaning it can be a win for her and you." Noir explained his thoughts.
"And if she were to lose the fight?" Aldra asked.
"We all let her live, but she will be on her own to do whatever she wants that would be either to complete the mission she was given to or just fight in the tournament until she loses." Noir answered.
"I see, then you wouldn't mind if she happens to die within a battle of the Queen's Blade?" Aldra asked with a grin.
"Of course, you are the Queen who won the tournament twice in a row, and your rules are absolute that none can oppose you, asides your incredible power." Noir nodded.
"Just what I like to hear." Aldra chuckled as her shadow forms into a different shape with glowing purple-white eyes forming.
"How about we have a dinner at show, and the fight happening right now is the show." Noir suggested.
"A wonderful idea, it would be most appealing than just simply eating dinner at the dining hall." Aldra agreed.
Noir turns his head slight and move his eyes to look down at the shadow that looks back at the man in black, both smirking as if they are reading each other's minds without Aldra even noticing this exchange of glance.
(Back with Tomoe vs Irma)
"Some assassin you are. Hard for you to blind in when everyone recognizes you." Shizuka mocked.
"Shut your mouth." Irma snapped.
"(I didn't anticipate this, it could ruin everything.)" Irma thought feared and all the hard work she had done to reach her goal, this may end until she has a thought.
"(No wait, there's still a way. I'll fight my way through the Queen's Blade and defeat the queen.)" Irma thought decided.
(Music: Inuyasha Battle Music Theme)
Tomoe made the first move by charging at Irma who responded with her own charge running at each other then swing their sword, a metal clash was made, and they are now on the other side of each other.
The first blood to be spilled is Tomoe with a cut on her right arm as Irma smirks believing she will win this battle.
"Are you alright?" Shizuka asked.
"I'm not done yet!" Tomoe yelled and charges at her opponent again.
Tomoe starts attacking forcing the assassin girl to walk back from the strong attacks until she stood her ground and power struggle with the priestess, they seem evenly match in stretch at the moment until Irma pulls out her second blade and knocks the katana out of Tomoe's hand.
"Oh no!" Tomoe shocked.
The sword landed close to Shizuka who has now become worried for her lady against this foe.
Irma is now the one attacking her opponent swinging her sword forcing Tomoe to walk back doing her best to dodge the blades, but it's not easy with how fast and swift the assassin girl is moving then got a tiny cut on her breasts and cut on her robe too.
"(I have to get my sword back.)" Tomoe thought tried to think of a way to get away from Irma to get to her sword.
But before she could formulate a plan, her foot trips on the rocky path and fell backward with her back against the rocky wall and Irma held her sword very close to Tomoe to keep her down.
"Now you're finish." Irma proclaimed, ready to deliver the final blow.
"No, get up!" Shizuka cried out and tries to get out, but the ropes are too tight for her to do anything.
"Now, prepare to meet your end." Irma said.
But Tomoe wouldn't give up just yet.
"You underestimated me. Your pride has clouded your judgement." Tomoe pointed out Irma's flaw much to the assassin's confusion.
"Warrior Kick!" Tomoe unleashed a powerful kick that send Irma flying back more than several feet along with a powerful wind in that kick.
"(Damn it, she can still fight on!)" Irma thought groaned in pain from the kick.
But the kick wasn't strong enough to knocked Irma unconscious as she is still willing to win this fight with her strength in order to reach her goal, the dark skin assassin regains her footing and glares back at her opponent to continue fighting.
"(Even when I got her, I still need my sword to be at my strongest.)" Tomoe thought looked over to where her sword is for just a second.
"(If I can just get to my sword, I can perform my strongest technique that end this fight.)" Tomoe thought believed.
"I'm just getting started!" Irma charged at Tomoe at full speed, not wanting to give her the change to do anything.
"(Oh no, I won't escape from this!)" Tomoe thought gasped.
"Lady Tomoe!" Shizuka called out.
Tomoe turns her head to the direction of Shizuka's calling and saw her sword coming at her though a little confuse but saw this as a sign that the fight is hers now as she catches her sword.
Irma sees that her opponent her reclaim her sword though didn't stop her charging at she couldn't back down from this now, she clashes her long sword against Tomoe's into a power struggle again.
"(This is my chance!)" Irma thought believed.
"Silly girl, you're through!" Irma shouted, immediately goes in for her attack.
"Black Rose!" Irma swinged her shorter blade to slice the neck open for the kill.
However, Irma's attack didn't make contact as the shorter blade went right through her and then she vanishes making her shock to realize that it was an afterimage, she quickly turns around finding her opponent standing on top of a rock. She tries to figure out how this woman was able to dodge her from being so close to each other and when she threw in her attack, but she would have to worry about that later.
"Behold, the Secret Warrior Priestess Technique: Lunar Slash!" Tomoe readied to finish this fight.
"(She's going to finish me off! But I can still win this if I just dodge her attack.)" Irma thought believed.
However, that plan doesn't seem to go what she expected as Tomoe's swords starts to glow white and shining from the light of the full moon behind the priestess which reflects onto Irma's eyes causing her to go blind for a second or two.
Tomoe instantly jumps off from the rock and dashes in a blinding speed charge as Irma was only able to recover of seeing her coming at her fast, she quickly responded with her own slash.
The two fast slash clashes from the two warriors causes a strong shockwave to burst from the women and they stood still for a moment until Irma's upper clothes suddenly pops off and she gasp in pain.
"She's good… She got me." Irma admitted and blood squirts out from her back and fell face-first to the ground.
"But I… I can't afford to die here yet." Irma refused to die here, not until she sees her goal through to the end.
"(That one is strong willed, I'll give her that much.)" Tomoe thought commented.
"Amazing, you did it." Shizuka smiled, now leaning her back against the rocky tower with her hands and body free from the ropes.
"Shizuka, you're free!" Tomoe surprised, which means that Shizuka really was the one who threw her the sword.
"Dislocation my joints hurts worst than I thought." Shizuka chuckled, but flinches in pain.
Then Shizuka gasped when she saw Irma making her run to get away from Tomoe now. The assassin woman didn't care if this means she forfeit the match, she couldn't allow herself to die in a place like this and refuses to die until she get, she chance to kill Queen Aldra once and for all. She looks back at Shizuka and Tomoe for a second then head off into hiding for a while.
"Come back and finish this, you coward!" Shizuka shouted at the assassin, but the pain stops her from following Irma.
"Shizuka!" Tomoe hurried to Shizuka's side to stop her from going after that assassin woman.
"Lady Tomoe?" Shizuka confused a bit.
"You're already done enough. I'm so very grateful." Tomoe said with a smile causing Shizuka to blush from that.
"Thank you so much." Tomoe hugged Shizuka which surprises the ninja woman but decided to let this be as she is happy that Tomoe is happy.
"Irma has abandoned the battle. Therefore, Tomoe is the victor!" Hachiel declared as she goes back to Heaven and the magic dome disappeared.
"Hey, I just realize something." Shizuka said.
"What's that, Shizuka?" Tomoe asked.
"You were fighting half naked the whole time, right?" Shizuka asked the Warrior Priestess.
"It's not like I had any other choice, and the battle was beginning faster than I expected." Tomoe stated and felt embarrassed of having to fight like that the whole time.
"Why are you even bringing that up?" Tomoe asked.
"Well, it just got me thinking that Scar might have been watching the fight too… And saw what was under you robe." Shizuka teased with a smirk.
Tomoe gasp upon realizing that Shizuka might be right with the viewing orb shows each battle to everyone in the land, and that must include Scar watching her fighting with what little clothing she is wearing right now and probably the private part between her legs.
"Oh no! He must think I'm a pervert!" Tomoe worried as she quickly covers herself up.
"Nah, I don't think he would mind seeing a little more of your skin. Bet he would think you'd look sexier too." Shizuka grinned.
"Oh really, then you be okay if that were to happen to you and Scar watching you fight completely naked?" Tomoe countered with a teasing question of her own.
Now Shizuka is the one blushing of shock from that and her mind suddenly went to thinking about how Scar would approach her, and even take her into bed for a little loving time.
"Hey! It's not funny when the teasing is done to me!" Shizuka complained.
"Well, it's fun to me." Tomoe chuckled.
(With Scar's Party)
"Now that was a battle to behold." Scar smiled, glad to see that Tomoe has won her match.
"It looked like Tomoe has gotten much stronger since the last time I saw her fight." Leina amazed.
"She was pretty impressive with the guts to fight on while being half naked like a hobo." Risty commented.
"I take it you experience such a thing once a upon a time?" Echidna asked.
"Hey now, you're trying to say I'm a pervert or something." Risty smirked as she didn't mind the joke.
"The battle was simply amazing to behold! The priestess has shown the fruits of her labor to win the battle against one who tries to take others from the dark!" Menace smiled.
"Oh yeah, so glad I thought of her as a potential slave to have fun with." Seta chuckled with a lewd smile. But he felt chills down his nonexistent spine as he slowly turns around seeing Scar giving him a death glare.
"I prefer if you didn't speak suck ill-manner about Tomoe." Scar said slowly reaching for his sword.
"What? I didn't say anything! Promise!" Seta gulped in fear as he didn't want to be kill by this guy even if his Lady Menace were to defend him.
"Good." Scar said.
"Hachiel had a successful host of the battle, that just means I have to do better!" Nanael determined.
"That's the spirit, Nanael!" Leina cheered for her angel friend.
"Say Scar, did you enjoyed the little show of Tomoe being half naked?" Echidna asked.
"Maybe…" Scar turned away to hide his blushing face that got the elf woman to laugh.
