ASHLEI CLIXX ARMA FORME

Ashleis body had initially stopped responding, only reacting to the forced blood that was circling her dry veins. She lay there perfectly still with Mana clasped onto her body, flooding her corpse with essence. The Hollow Queen seemed to have completely lost grip with reality until she began to cough heavily and slowly clench her right hand into a fist. The demon within her was starting to kickstart her body into action, but what Mana wouldn't have been aware of was how Ashleiw as going to take this next action.

The girl was clenching her fist to control the blood in the area that she used to have. It was all over the floor and up some walls from the extraction. Pulling all of the blood into one small sphere no larger than a marble, Ashlei forced it down her throat and in that instant, pushed Mana off as soon as she felt that the process was nearing completion. Ashlei lifted her body and stumbled back, her face pale and her hands shaking. When she trid to speak, her voice sounded as though it was gargling lightly on a drink.

"Mana, stand...back"

Ashlei swallowed, forcing down the last of the blood she was swirling around her mouth. Her body would then start to fight itself once again but this time, she needed to control it. She tightened her muscles and shut her eyes. Her nails dug into the palms of her hand, oozing green blood that Mana had given her. However that blood seemed to react weirdly. It was moving around her hand and glowing. The green hue was changing and slowly, the blood began to alter colour. After a few moments it had turned bright white.

"This...isn't what i expected... It doesn't hurt anymore..."

Ashleis face displayed a cheerful grin behind her tense stature. She lifted her hands to her face and looked at the blood. It was white and dancing in her hand. It made her laugh. She was alive and her abilities were still working. Realising this, she couldn't help but feel that her bodyw as still reacting oddly to everything. She couldn't see it, but her eyes had gone completely black with Yellow irises. She checked her body over as it started to calm down and things seemed to be fine.

"I...don't get it...I feel no different..."

However she wouldn't feel the same for much longer. She might have thought that her blood had counteracted the demon blood but she was mistaken. It was just taking longer than she had estimated.

"Mana?... What do you th-"

The girl stopped talking as she felt her body shifting. It was moving on its own but not her muscles, her skin was tearing. Her body under her clothes was bulging across her sides and her shoulders. Slightly frightened, she needed to see what was happening. Ashlei pulled off her dress, yanking at the strings and threw it all on the floor so she was only wearing her undergarments. She lifted an arm and looked in horror as her skin was bulging as though she had insects crawling through her. It frightened her and she had no explanation for it.

"Mana! Whats happening!?"

Just then, her skin tore open all over, blood slowly oozing from her body and across her limbs. None of the blood was acting like a normal liquid and seemed to have a mind of its own. It covered parts of her body and grew in size, encasing most of her in blood. Then, the blood hardened, lifting up skin and regenerating her body into a new appearance. Purple demon skin lined her body, tearing apart her undergarments that no longer fit over her demonic armour. Her teeth were fanged, her eyes black and yellow. Her face had demonic runes grafted onto the sides of her cheeks that began to glow purple. Her entire body looked like an armoured shell that revealed a lot of skin.

"This...this is amazing...I don't feel like myself. I feel completely new!"

Ashlei body grew out of her arms blades that also appeared on her fingers tips. She flexed her fingers as she saw them and licked the sharp point of her index finger, cutting her tongue open. White blood began to seep out. Conjuring the small dribble of liquid into her possession, she held it in front of her.

"My blood is white... Not red nor green... but have I retained my power?"

Ashlei held ou her hands close to the floating blood and gripped the air. She then pulled, her body runes glowing as she used rietsu to multiple the blood particles massively. What used to be enough blood to coat a small coin was now enough to coat a small car in white ooze.

"Haha....hahahahahahaha! It's all there!"

The blood circled around the Hollow Queen, swirling like a miniature vortex that was growing in size due to her abilities effecting them. Soon she was within a small twister that tickled the roof of the building. Ashlei was visible within and she looked over to Mana.

"It worked sister! It worked! I'm alive!"

A monster was being born right before Mana's very eyes. The instant that Ashlei began the twitching of her fist, she knew that her Dear Sister was alive and was going to make a triumphant return. The odds of success against them did not matter, for when the two were together, the destroyed all means of failure that stood in their way of happiness and prosperity. So with a satisfied smirk, The Demon Queen backed away from The Newly Formed Hollow Ruler; knowing that the chaotic energies brewing within her were going to result in something quite explosive, extremely lethal and quite fascinating to witness as they turned a page in both Arrancar AND Demon Histories by the uniting of their blood into one whole body. "Yes, Sweet Blood Queen, come back to me. Come back and become complete once more. For with my blood that courses through your veins, and the power that was already vested within ye's being your ye's own strength, you will evolve, you will advance and you will become stronger than your wildest dreams."

The sight of blood was nothing new for The Demoness either. For with signs of life returning back into Ashlei's being, there was no cause for concern; being that she was among one of the best controllers of this crimson essence out there. Eyes shifting to the emerald ooze seeping out of The Hollow Queen, Mana could swiftly discerned that the mixture of their blood was creating some sort of adverse reaction. Paying close attention to what would occur next in this strange twist of events, once the concoction had mutated into a silvery paste, an amused facial expression transitioned across The Demon Queen's face in light of this astonishing development which transpired before her very eyes. "It isn't quite what I expected to occur either. Hehehe, though, from what I can sense within you, ye's body is shifting and growing into something more than an Arrancar or Demon." Snickering while speaking towards her dear sister, Mana was filled with glee as she could still feel pulls, sparks and jerks taking place within Ashlei's body from the bond she placed fourth.

Staring intently into the eyes of her beloved kin, The Demoness also took note of the switch in colors taking place inside of The Hollow Queen's sweet face. Realizing that she may not even be aware of the external morph taking place on her body, Mana took a mere wave of finger, focused her energies and began crafting a mirror comprised of gem-green energy to the right of her. "Deary, you may want to take a look at this. You are growing, changing and shifting. Take a gaze upon your new being: for the next steps you take in this new life will become quite the startling ones." Grinning while saying these words, there was nothing but utter glee coursing through Mana's veins as she felt so...relieved....to have this experimental procedure actually work in saving the life of Ashlei. It reassured The Demoness, that so long as their will to survive is strong, they'll make it through anything and this stood as a testament to that fact.

Then, in that moment, at that precise moment where there the shift transpired within Ashlei's core; an unhinged grin came into place across Mana's lips. Radiating a brief scarlet glow throughout her body as sparks of emerald and halcyon shaded bioelectricity surged around The Demonesses body, this was a sure sign that the connection materializing inside of the two girls had been expanding further and further. For when that sudden metamorphosis ensued, The Demon Queen let out a wicked howl of laughter as she could feel the same pulsations and palpations of change raining down like a storm of evolution deep inward of The Hollow Queen. Being that she was her maker at this point, The Royal Asthavon further enhance the telepathic link between the two girls to a point where she could nearly feel everything that Ashlei did when their wavelengths were in immense sync as they were in this very heated moment as she ascended into something more than a Hollow or Demonic Beast.

"What is happening? Hahahah, ascension is happening, sister! Do you feel your muscles tightening? Energy growing more potent? Mind becoming sharper!? Everything taking place now is in order for you the best that you can be. For my gift to you is not death, but life. A radiant life that will shine with intensity that can outshine any flame, any star, any sun and any Supernova! For as these morphs and contortions mend your very essence, I'm in it for the long haul as well! I can feel every pull, every inch of pain and the sheer shock of ye's mind as our bond becomes more powerful than any mere mortal can possibly dream of. For at my hands, no, our hands; our very capable hands, we can not only bring about the storm of change, but the downpour of love, life and progression. In short, what is arising within your soul now is a physical and metaphysical extension of our love forming. Savor it, indulge it and never forget the taste." With those words said to her cherished sister, she'd step back to watch the final transformation take place.

Mirthful laughter echoed throughout the coordo of Mana's Palace, and throughout the likes of the surrounding area of London itself as this immense revolution transpired inside of Ashlei and throughout the castle. While Ashlei was evolving, the area encompassing them shook like an ungodly Earthquake as the intensity of Mana's convivial nature grew stronger while the powers of Ashlei matured further. The room soon splashed with life, color and heat. For the shadow's which once enveloped this room like a spider encloses upon it's prey, now they give way like a twig torn in two. Light boomed into the room in the form of a crimson and emerald mixed shine; while the passages within the Royal Castle were filled to the brim with this potent energy. This caused many of the people within it to first get on guard, but once the energy signatures of both Mana and Ahslei were detected, most had second thoughts. For whatever these two sinister creatures of the nights were plotting, it was clearly something much bigger than anything they could possibly conceive.

Henceforth, with the abrupt opening of The Demon Queen's chambers, the entirety of this vicinity was soon overwhelmed by the surge of energy radiating within this room. The palace and the areas nearby it could hear an ungodly roar of wind taking place, with the wicked nature of the two sisters engulfing the region like a powerful hurricane. If one were to pay close attention to the changes occurring outside the palace walls, the skies soon shifted from a dim shade of black, to that of mixture which was a fusion of both emerald and scarlet hues. Intermixed with bolts of white, black and red lightning occurring; an immense electric storm soon was seen over The Queen's Palace as everyone was startled at what was taking place. Just what was born on this night? Had two pairs of Queen's gone utterly mad with power? Was this the end of everything as they knew it? These were questions which rang in the mouths, minds and consciousness of all those who were paying witness to their unforeseen experimentation.

With all eyes on them now, and this unanticipated transformation placing great angst among the followers all throughout the castle, Mana smirked with sheer glee across her face. "You are different, sister. You are reborned, rebirthed as a creature with the powers ye' once possessed as an Arrancar, but with the added edge of a Demon's touch. I can feel it, you can feel it. Take a look within yourself: do you not feel the intensity of this renewal of ye's self?" Grinning with bright delight much like her sister, she was as a joyful as a child in a candy shop at this point. This night, this meeting, this transformation; it was all so invigorating to feel. The emotion, the sensations, the sorrow, the lost, the pain; it was all spiraling within Mana like a raging cyclone to give her a new passion, a new lust and a new leash on life as they stood at the cusp of this new found discovery for Arrancar and Demonkind.

"You are alive, but not only thing: YOU ARE LIVING! No longer are you clinging to life like a lump of frightened flesh, BUT YOU ARE LIVING! SO FULL OF LIFE! I am so happy for you sister, we've made history, we've made love and we've grown stronger in our bond on this very night. There is still going to be a trying road ahead of us, but on this hallow's eve, we've made a mark in history with the uniting of our essence." As the storm outside lessened, Mana took a satisfied sigh after that and started Ashlei in the eye with the utmost of intensity. "Visera Demonio: The Masked Demon..." Smiling, she knew that this name would become befitting from the knowledge of the Spanish language she acquired from those of that particular tongue's origin. "...that...is what you are. An infusion of Arrancar and Demon nature bundled into one being. Which means, that this part of our journey is over and the next into stabilizing this state of being will come next. There is still much research to have, much discovery to in depth into your new powers and a beautiful road of power to travel down before this is all over. I welcome you back into the chambers of Chaos and into the depths of my heart, Sweet Sister."

Now, with all of that mouthful out in the air for all to pay witness to, the surrounding supporters of Shadow Fall's troops were seen clapping for the two of them; as this was seen as a joyous occasion now that they had completed their research. And, in reaction to this, Mana would do one final thing with her Beloved Sister. Leaning in closer to Ashlei, she'd soon swoop in for a surprise kiss as she had quite the seductive smile across her face; going in deeper to taste the sweet nectar of her revised existence for herself and sealing this moment in time with one hot, stunning and powerful smooch between the two devilish sisters of the night. "To summarise: I fucking love you, Ashlei Clixx." Pulling away from the kiss after that, Mana would leave that bold statement out in the air as she let out a playful laugh to close things up.

ASHLEI CLIXX ARMA FORME

Ashlei stood in the centre of the room with the most devilish grin on her face that she had shown for many years. She was happy and that was clear to see. Her fingers twitched, her eyes didn't blink, her tongue was sticking out like n energetic puppy, her hair stood on end and her body just wanted to move. She wanted to crash into things. She wanted to punch through a wall. Her entire mind was becoming flooding for the lust of destruction. She even contemplated tackling Mana to the floor because she knew the girl wouldn't be injured by it but didn't want to break the moment. This lust though was pounding at her heart, making her body ache.

Ashlei was indeed rebirthed as something more than she once was. She was no longer an Arrancar and had not entirely become a demon. She was the level in between that exceeded them both. She had the power to command both sides of this massive force as now even demons would have to accept her. She would enforce it. Her clenched fist would cripple any that didn't bow down to this power she could feel.

However, there was a reason behind all of this that made the entire feeling much more meaningful than usual. Ashleis body during its crippling stages was much weaker than she could have possibly been. She was running at 50%, hardly capable of even duelling with a moderate captain level without taking heavy damage. She couldn't inflict any damage to Radioactive and had also been known to depend on Ceon just to avoid attacks. Now though. Now her body felt right. Every part of it was brewing more and more energy as though she could explode at any moment in a rain of evil. Her thirst to rewrite the battles she had experienced beforehand was tempting her to rush off and hunt down anyone foolish enough to get in her path. However, her notice was dragged away as Mana approached and hurled her into a passionate kiss. Ashlei was weirdly taken by surprised form this. Her eyes widened and she started to drop her energy levels. Then, she quickly embraced the kiss and held mana close.

After the two had their passionate moment, Ashlei had to pull away as a message seemed to ring through her ears. It was a familiar voice that instantly triggered a reaction in Ashleis brain. She remmebered this voice and who it belonged to. Rose needed help. In fact, Hueco Mundo was under seige. Ashlei took a few steps back and looked at Mana. She must have recieved the same message.

No. This isn't how it's going to happen. not this time. No more second place. Ashlei had to blurt it out before Mana did anything

"Mana, let me deal with this. My home is under attack and I want to protect it myself. This time, I'll show them never to underestimate me. I should never have to be the sister that hides in your shadow. I will prove to the world that I had the biggest shadow all along."

Ashlei grinned. These were big words for someone to say to somebody like Mana. However Ashlei wasn't lying. She hated demon-kind. She hated being the one left out. She hated everything that kept her from becoming the best. She hated everything and everyone. There was very little in this world that she actually liked now that she thought about it. But what she hated most of all. Thing thing she could not stand. The thing that pushed her emotions beyond breaking point and withered her seal. Ashlei cannot stand to be ignored. She will not put up with standing in manas shadow anymore. She was NOT the weaker sister and she would prove that now.

None of Ashleis Hollow powers seemed to be reacting how they should be, so she took that into mind. She wasn't spawning any Broadcasts to check the state of Hueco Mundo. It wasn't possible anymore so the best she could do is just go there. She tried to create a gargantua and weirdly, it worked. However it wasn't normal. In fact, it had managed to engulf the entire room leaving very little room to stand in the building. Ashlei chuckled at this, feeling her pwoers were still not entirely in her control. This would be fun. The best part?

Nobody would see Las Viviente coming...

"Thank you sister for everything that you have done. Know that I love you still, with all of my heart and now all of my blood. I will return. I swear on it."

With that, Ashlei winked, blew a kiss and leapt into the huge portal that quickly dissipated.

Around the same time that Ashlei had received word of the attack upon Tharantos Centro, Mana too had received a telepathic communication from those within the depths of Hueco Mundo who happened to be of Demon Descendant. They were informing her that a major battle was taking place between a Quincy Intruder who had started a war against the Hollow Capital. An all out assault was taken on the city, but luckily the likes of Rose Asthavon had kept the destruction to an utmost minimum and the place was still standing. However, there were many strong combatants gathering towards the center of the city as they all began the clashing of blows in the air before Thanatos Centro. These consisted, outside of the Cero Espada, the likes of Nagato Tengan, Zefonse Kaizme, Demonica and Cero Telsa. With all five of these exceptionally strong beings in one location, there was certainly a major chance for copious amounts of destruction to take place; so as The Queen of Demon's looked The Hollow Queen, she knew that she was going to go there on this dark day.

"Tch, as much as I do want to come and help you, I can understand the principle behind the matter, my beloved sister. I never once thought of you as inferior or superior to myself; but my equal. 'Tis why I bestowed this idea of Shadow Fall to you on that very day we gathered within the pits of The Kokuryuteshi's Realm. If you feel you must go alone, at least make sure you are surrounded by those within ye's family that love you. I'm aware that your sister is presently fighting there, go to her side as well and keep the fight alive. If things happen to get worse, though, my love, I will certainly be there if everything else fails. But...I have faith in your strength with the bond between our blood coursing through every course of your bodies being. Give them discord, give them chaos and most of all: give them hell. Do not spare a single ounce of mercy upon the enemy in which you face. Do you hear me, Ashlei? I want you to come back alive."

Giving one final hug before Ashlei left, The Demoness would let her sister go into the pits of war itself to reclaim what belonged to hers. Of course Mana was worried sick, yet at the same time, she knew that the power vested within her was strong. So like a doting lover, she hovered over the circumstance with a anxious mind, but had to remain strong for her. "And I to, love you. You've given me as much as I've given you, sister. The courage to go on, the willpower to remain strong and the vision to keep these brewing and twisted discord circulating within my own being at bay. There is a long road that each of us must follow, and it's certainly going to test us until the very bitter end. Yet, with the pact the two of us have made in blood, our love will STILL hold strong against this ungodly storm. I wish you the best of luck, the utmost revenge and that I to return to you as I embark on my own journey into this sinister darkness which enomcpasses both of our worlds. Reclaim what is yours, sister."

With her own wink of the eye, Mana blew a kiss in return to Ashlei as she began the slow walk towards the portal that would whisk her off and away into the battlefields of Hueco Mundo. Taking a soft sigh, Mana would watch as the storm clouds which were brewing all around the castle slowly come to an end. There was nothing else to do here but go on to plan for this new foe appearing in the Hollow Realm. "Tch, I can't believe Cero had the nerve to show his face again after I whooped his tail in Malaysia all those months ago. I s'pose the little brat still has a spark left. I better get these plans in order before all else." Slowly rising up from the floor, Mana would step out of her manor as rebirthed woman. For it was at this point, The Demoness got her legs back. Taking a deep breath, The Queen Of Demon's felt Ashlei's own energy and spirit coursing through her veins because of the union to the two of them made.

There was something contorting The Royal Asthavon's body, and within a few moments, it would be made apparent to the Demoness that she too has taken away something from this meeting. As for when she stopped in her tracks, out of the chest of Mana would appear a sword. Despite how surprising this turn of events would be, Mana would remain utterly calm; as it felt very natural. It felt like this...blade...was apart of herself. Soon, a booming echo shattered the quietness of The Queen's mind. For in this explosion of might, a name for this weapon soon came to pass. "THE SWORD OF RAPTURE!"; bellowing from The Reagle Demon's body; the entity of this sword soon came out of her bosom and emerged before the Demoness. Therefore, it was in this moment that she knew Ashlei had altered something within Mana's composition. Unknown to The Blood Queen, this was a major moment in The Wicked Demon Queen's life; as such, her Danavan blood reacted and she could feel it evolving in the wake of this tremendous meeting. "So, you've finally come to pass a change on my heart....I'll be damned." Mana could only chuckle as she paid witness to this Atma Vatou before her; the weaponry of Danava's concepts.

It was quite the peculiar looking thing. The outer edge of the blade is engulfed in what appeared to be a emerald gem flame. While, within the inner edge of the sword, a purely charcoal shaded flare could be seen; with a hint of white sealed into the center of it from time to time. Extending down to the cross-guard, this section of the sword is also engulfed by a blackened fire. Turning her attention towards the pommel, she'd then notice that a similar gem-green flare as the outer-edge. Being that this was summoned by Mana's own essence, it obviously did not require a seathe to hold; as it's attributes allowed the blade to be stored somewhere within the contents of The Demonesses being. Grabbing the Atma Vatou within her hand, The Queen smiled and slowly started to have it receded back into her core as she knew very well what it was now. In a flash of light, it condensed itself into many particles and retreated back into the pores of The Queen's body.

"Heh, what an amusing tale." Though, that wouldn't be the only weapon forged this day. Grabbing her head, a sudden pulsation of otherworldliness surged throughout Mana's being. Laughing out of happiness at this point, visions of blood danced through The Royal Asthavon's mind before the words: "The Essence of Turmoil" were roared all throughout the manor; shaking the very walls around them as small bits of dust and debris fell from the ceiling. Clenching her fist, a small shade of green and black flames emerged from out of her nails before slowly trending back into her body. Walking towards the hallway, and towards the command station of the castle, Mana knew very well that something major had occurred within herself. And with each waking moment that she held these two Atma Vatou within her being, their origins, history and prowess soon began to become unveiled to the Queen as her jovial laughter echoed throughout the halls.

Love is a crazy thing, eh?
