"Jesus.. okay, c'mon!"
[i]Clean yelled, her pistol drawn as she began to sprint towards the ivory tower. The foundation of the white stone began to quiver and ignite with pulsing blue energy, as screams escaped the tower. Screams of agonizing pain.[/i]
[i]Niki.[/i]
[i]As the two grew closer, the air would shimmer before all fell silent. This was familiar to Rose, but not to Clea.[/i]
"What's.. what's happening?"
English
-
Rose's face went pale, as she forced her way into the tower, her armor forming into a shield again on her arm, busting down any door in her path. Whatever was going on, it wasn't good, and she needed to stop it.
-
[i]When Rose entered the first door, she was thrown back by a sudden energy.[/i] [i]She skidded against the red earth as Clea came next to her, helping her up as the wall in their path came: a bright red being, of some kind. Their skin was made of a rubbery essence, stretching and contorting and constantly shifting into place. Light, icy blue eyes met the two, as the being would groan as it raised it's fists.[/i] "What in the fuсk.." [i]Clea muttered.[/i] [url=https://youtu.be/DgC9GIbJv7Q]Omega Boss Theme - Wretched Weaponry (Instrumental) - 5:14[/url] [i]Omega would shift it's form then, it's chest gleaming with raw energy as it would begin to construct a wall from mere particles. It was trying to block them.[/i]
-
Rose did the first thing she could think of; not fire her weapon, but instead shift her shield into a massive spike. Shooting both arms forward, the drill shot forward at the beast with immense force. Nothing would keep her from her Niki. Nothing.
-
[i]Omega would shift down to a knee as it would slam it's fist into Rose's stomach, though nothing more. It sent Rose backwards, yet the creature seemed to be.. defending, and sticking to that defense only.[/i] "Gods, hold on," [i]Clea aimed her firearm and began to shoot, bullets whistling through the red figurine and tearing through it's body. Omega groaned in what could be described as pain, yet continued that wall - now having to rebuild. Perhaps just distracting it could work.[/i]
-
"Clea! Keep it distracted, I'm gonna find a way around." At that, she brought her armor back to her, the massive metal spike possibly ripping through the being with its back turned. The metal morphed back to her body after, taking shape once more. Then, she attempted to find a way around the being, an exit or a way up.
-
"Yeah, sure!" [i]Clea would fire twice at the creature's being, while it would falter at the sudden rushes of pain, returning to a single knee. Rose had.. some options, though. She could try to get past Omega again, or she could scale the tower, leaving Clea to deal with the threat.[/i]
-
She growled, hating herself if she where to leave Clea behind, the woman had helped so far. Raising her own rifle, she shot at Omega's head, aiming to hit eyes, or if possible, the creatures brain.
-
[i]The creature's head would explode in a flurry of blue juice and cyan brain matter, it's head flying back as a feminine scream left it's gaping mouth. Yet suddenly, the head would fly back towards Rose, the bullet suddenly whistling through the remains of it's head - towards Clea.[/i] [i]The round would punch through the Tribune woman's stomach as she cried out in pain, falling to the ground. The red being would begin to approach Rose now, as it raised it's hand: spikes flew upwards from the ground, angled like a wall facing Rose, except flying towards her.[/i]
-
Rose panicked then, instinctively yelling "Niki!" when the spikes came for her, there was no way she could stop them, but she did try and find a way around. Anything would do at this point. Most likely she wouldn't be able to flipping the spikes to hit Omega, but it was worth a shot, right? With Clea injured, and if the woman died, it would weigh on her conscious, her fault, for pushing the fugitive to help.
-
[i]It was worth a shot, indeed.[/i] [i]The spikes would freeze and quiver as if in agony, as Omega would then release an agonizing, feminine scream as it clutched it's head, golden light mixing with the blue. Niki's magic.. she was fighting back, against whatever had taken hold of her, by countering Omega.[/i] [i]Seeing if the spikes would be manipulated would be.. game-changing.[/i]
-
Taking the opportunity, she rushed forward and slipped past a few, smacking roughly four with her hands and then trying to control them, by angling them at Omega and then trying to shoot them at the beast. Niki was still there.. Good, good. Hang in there..
-
[i]The spikes would slam into Omega's being, forcing the creature against the wall as the spikes pushed through it's being. The feminine screaming picked up in agony, as words began escaping it's being. Niki's words.[/i] "[i]Rose- ROSE! U-Up the tower, take the girl with you-[/i]" [i]Omega's screeches cut off Niki as the blue light returned to it's eyes, yet it was trapped. In the background, Clea tried to rise up.[/i]
-
She listened, running over to where Clea was, scooping the woman up and then with a bit more effort, took any path that lead up the tower.
-
[i]A pair of stairs would lead upwards, allowing Rose to carry Clea up. The red creature, Omega, remained screaming and attempting to free itself, only to remain trapped.[/i] [i]When the two reached the top floor, Rose would find two familiar faces.[/i] [i]Niki, and the woman in the alleyway.[/i] "[i]You.[/i]" [i]The latter of the two, now hooded in a brilliant white hood.[/i] "You shouldn't be here, neither of you. No matter." [i]She hoisted Niki up, bringing a knife to the girl's throat.[/i] "Drop your tools of destruction. Or she dies."
-
"Can't drop anything when my hands are full with carrying someone else, so guess what bitch, I can't do anything either way." She growled. That damned woman again, this time, she would kill her. And make her suffer.
-
"You best get to surrendering, either way." [i]With a flick of her hand, Calypso's dagger rushed against Niki's pale throat, as blood dribbled down the side of her neck. Niki cried out, though the wound wasn't deep, nor close to anything life-threatening.[/i] [i]Niki looked like she had gone through hell, really. Her fingers were blistered and beaten, the tattered mage robe that she wore into battle now splattered with dried blood. One eye was badly bruised, while her face, even through her natural beauty, was strained and tired. Calypso had made her overexert her magic..[/i]
-
She grimaced, unbridled rage filling her, as slowly she moved to set down Clea. All she needed was one chance, to end everything right now. One small flicker of hope.
-
"There, there.." [i]Calypso would smile softly, pearly white teeth shining through the opening of her mouth. Her knife lowered a little in her cockiness, and Niki took her chance.[/i] [i]Without a word nor shout, her head would rear back, before she slammed the back of her head into her captor's nose. Calypso staggered back as Niki would fall down, crawling away from the woman as she grimaced in pain.[/i]
-
Rose took her chance then, pulling the revolver from her side, taking aim, and pulling the trigger; the bullet whizzing for Calypso's head.
-
[i]Calypso would try to move, but it was too late: the bullet crashed through her head, slamming through her skull and ripping through the back. Her head jerked back, while her face began to quiver and she, before.. cracking, like an egg. Brilliant rays of light escaped her cheek, before her head exploded, in a flurry of energy.[/i] "R-Rose.." [i]Niki crawled towards her lover, crying out in pain and shock.[/i] "W-We need to go. You need to go, you need to run and.. she's coming, she's coming!"
-
Rose looked at her with a certain fire in her eyes, one that said no. "Not without you, Niki. I'm not losing you again." She was dead set, stubborn as per usual. The once bandit now turned soldier refusing to leave her love behind.
-
[spoiler][url=https://youtu.be/-rpZCe52jXc]Calypso (Phase One) - Saarath[/url][/spoiler] [i]Niki stared at Rose with nothing but a look of hope, as a glimmer of faith would fill her thin, worried, and undoubtedly weak smile. Just then, the tower began to quiver and shake, as Niki's face turned to one of terror.[/i] "Rose, she can-" [i]And just like that, Rose found herself back, her gun raised at Calypso. Only, her foe was alive, and still holding Niki by the throat.[/i] "Clever girl." [i]Calypso murmured, throwing Niki against the wall.[/i] "Shoot me again. See how well your bullets work." [i]...She had restored herself, somehow. As if nothing had happened after all.[/i]
-
She grimaced, letting out a cry as Niki flew across the room. How...? Then she turned to Calypso, furious. "LISTEN HERE YOU APPLE CRUMB CÙNT! I'M TIRED OF YOUR SHIT AND WHAT YOU DID TO HER, THIS TIME YOU GO DOWN FOR GOOD!" She stamped her foot then, ready to kill the bitch as many times as possible.
-
[i]Calypso tilted her head, eyebrow raised as she stepped back a little. The insult had.. well, confused her, to a certain degree.[/i] "An apple.. what?" [i]She groaned, before raising a single hand as energy collected behind her being, before she began to step towards Rose. Sharpened, spectral blades, two in total, formulated and flew towards Rose's being.[/i]
-
Rose's initial instinct was to pull, and fires which she did the second Calypso seemed confused, landing her shot hopefully for her body. Then, she did the next best thing; formed her armor into a shield in front of her, to block the blades. She needed to get Niki out of here...
