*While the two assassins ended up forced back, the third was left to clans Irina in a chokehold, trying to make her drop her weapon.*
English
-
[i]Irina's eyes suddenly widened as she did indeed drop her Rakuyo, but she only sheathed her Evelyn. Grabbing onto the assassin's hands, she turned to where they faced the stone wall, and began backing into it and slamming the assassin's body into the wall. While she was slightly choking, it may have been working.[/i]
-
*Eventually, the assassin choking her let go of her, slumping to the floor. One of the remaining two charged at her with her fists, trying to land a kick.*
-
[i]Considering that Irina was just recovering from a chokehold, she couldn't dodge the kick, so she was sent spiraling into the stone wall as well. The huntress slammed into it with a quiet gasp of pain, alongside a rather infuriated look as she suddenly drew the curved katana that rested upon her back. She wasn't in the mood for a fistfight..[/i]
-
*The second one decided to do the same, picking up the other assassin's katana. The one with the bullet to the leg simply looked up toward the ensuing fight.*
-
Edited by Orn: 10/24/2016 11:09:34 AM[i]Irina then began to circle the assassin, twirling the sword before suddenly, beginning a sprint towards them as she rose the sword up. She seemed to have been swinging at the assassin, particularly their head. Although she wasn't exactly trying to decapitate them..[/i]
-
*The assassin held the sword up in a defensive position over her head, hoping to not get sliced in half.*
-
[i]Irins soft necessary swing as hard as she would've if she intended to kill, but as the two blades collided, she reared back her knee and slammed it into the assassin, her teeth gritted in concentration.[/i]
-
*She simply reeled back from the knee, losing her katana in the process. She trys to throw a punch at Irina.*
-
[i]With her left hand, Irina suddenly reached outwards and grabbed the assassin's fist with considerable effort, then raised the hand holding the sword. She did not swing, but instead threw a punch with the hand gripping the katana towards the woman's nose. Since her hand was contorted into a fist, the blade wouldn't even be close to doing harm.[/i]
-
*The woman staggers back, trying to cover her freshly bleeding nose. The final woman simply looks up to Irina, look of betrayal in her eyes. She seemed somewhat...familiar...* [spoiler]In other words, the one whom she injured in the leg is the mother that talked to her back in New Ilios.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Oh dear..[/spoiler] [i]Irina silently looked over at the strikingly familiar woman, her face contorting into a look of sadness; of grief. She quickly mouthed "Forgive me.." towards the woman before suddenly charging towards the assassin she was fighting, holding her sword out horizontally.[/i]
-
*The assassin was too worried about her nose to worry about Irina trying to get her, though she did try to throw a weak kick toward her.*
-
[i]Irina decided to take the kick, as..well, she felt bad. She felt terrible about the whole situation, as she was the only one to blame here. She reeled back as the kick nailed her in the stomach, and started to look as if it did much more damage than it should have. It was a facade, yes. But Irina would still refuse to kill the assassins.[/i]
-
*While watching her from the shadows, Zera sighed quite a bit.* "My father had once told me, 'If a traitor comes to your doorstep and does no harm, don't kill them. If they are honorable, but do much harm to those close around you...simply kill them. I'd think the Vileblood would fall into the first category. I believe she has felt such betrayal beforehand...and I can honor that." Zera thought in her mind. This was one of many thoughts going through her mind as she watched the fight go on. She decided that she would look into Irina's memories with her DNI; see how she became the person she was today. She orders the two assassins to leave the area, bringing the unconscious third assassin with them. Zera came out of the shadows, and stood in front of Irina.
-
[i]The Vileblood slowly turned towards Zera as she sheathed her weaponry, a grim look upon her pale, angular face. She expected to be shot on sight. And at this point, she would be willing to suffer such a fate; she had been seen as a hero to the people of New Illios, and yet..[/i]
-
*Seh simply walked up to her and did something unexpected; she moved her cybernetic hand toward Irina's head, a light white glow glistening in her hand. Now...her DNI was activated, letting Zera see Irina's memories and vice versa.*
-
[i]Irina didn't even move, as if she was caught in a trance.. Then, the memories came back.[/i] [i]A burning house. Three mutilated figures. A pure white moon hanging in the dark sky. Gothic homes surrounding the smoking building. And a girl, at the age of nineteen, cradling one of the bodies and sobbing. The body looked as if it was previously a man, at the age of twenty. The girl was muttering the same thing, over and over..[/i] "Samuel.." [i]Then, the ones she worked with arrived. They told her the one that did this had full justifications for his terrible crimes; that they would become beasts, that this was a mercy kill. That the man would be labeled as a hero for committing these terrible actions. More screaming. More sobbing. All belonging to the girl. Next, the departure. The betrayal. The vision changed, showing the same woman bowing down to a robed, masked queen within a massive throne room. They were the only ones within it, aside from the man in the back who bore a garb consisting of dark leather and crow feathers.[/i] [i]Then, the murders.. It was all the same girl. Murdering and killing those that she once worked with, once respected, once loved. They ran from her, they [u]feared[/u] her.[/i] [i]Several more violent images were shown. The woman gouging out a man's eyes. The same man ripping out the woman's tongue. It became faintly clear who these two were.. Daniel and Irina. The Executioner and the Vileblood.[/i]
-
On the other hand, one memory came to mind. *Irina ends up in a city. Explosions are heard across the city, as the corpses of Riders and Immortals laid strewn across the street she was in. A skeleton-like ship is seen above the city, firing lasers down into the area. A planet that looked like Earth in the sky exploded, as another planet collided with it. And then...* The sound of motorcycles... *Through all the rubble and fire, two motorcycles came rushing past her...one held by an Asian man who seemed to be in his late 30s, the other being some sort of bug humanoid. The two kicked into an apartment, and managed to bring out what seemed to be 3 young kids. One had brown hair, another had blonde hair, and the final one was...well, Zera. They started talking to some woman who also came out of the apartment, though she might need to be a bit closer for her to hear.* [spoiler]In other words, Irina is in a memory not even Zera knows about.[/spoiler]
-
[i]Irina herself didn't exactly understand what was going on - but her attention was caught by the girls. She began moving closer to them, although at a rather slow pace.[/i]
-
"... loving wife, get Zera out of here. Get those other two girls out of here as well." The man said. "Shi-san...this is our final battle. We must prevent Shocker from conquering every single world in the multiverse. The reign of Shocker must end here." The bug-like person said, before turning to the woman, "Split them up into different dimensions. If Shocker knows that there are survivors who escaped this war alive...then we won't have a chance to prevent the destruction of all worlds..." the bug-like humanoid said, before he turned to Zera, who was a young baby. "Stay safe, young one." "I love you...so much, Zera. I wish you could see me more...but it seems that we won't have enough time together." The man replied. "Go!" He yells, pushing her and the three children into some sort of portal, before a massive rumbling was heard. Then, a massive shadow overlooked the area, as another Earth collided with the planet, annihilating everyone in it. ------ Zera let go of Irina, jolted back by the overflow of memories.
-
[i]The Vileblood jumped back as well, blinking in immediate confusion. A sudden sigh of recovery escaped her mouth as she looked back at Zera. If she knew that the woman had gone through that..well, Irina would've been much more loyal.[/i]
-
*Zera looked at Irina with...well, pretty much every feeling that she could be able to feel. Her, along with the last assassin ran away into the shadows.*
-
[i]The Vileblood only stood there and stared at Zera and the retreating assassin silently, surprised and somewhat wounded from the brawl. She sighed, eventually leaving the simulation after a couple of minutes. The simulation of Cainhurst then shut down, the room restored to its shapeless state.[/i] (Fin.)
