THE EAGLE GOD

CO-HEAD OF THE VIZARD CORPS

What…is that…? Colin wondered as he bared witness to the reiatsu like energy. He had seen several kinds of energy in his day, but yet again this one was different. "Hollow…" He muttered, the familiar tendrils of energy flowing out in every direction.

Did you think she would be able to take that much abuse? Colin's hollow inquired of his master. …No… I didn't think so. Colin answered, his arm ringing from the constant hits. It was a good thing that so much of his training had involved crushing boulders with his bare hands. He could feel the resistance behind each of the blows, but the pain was not enough to make him stop. Well damn, in that case…

Colin was cut off from his line of thought by the fact that his arm was beginning to get bound behind him. Damn it. He thought through his grit teeth. His focus was also assailed by the sudden wave of aggression flowing off of the Wolf. Hmm, seems like something other than her conscious mind is in control. He thought, noting the damage to the forest down below. Can the environment take it…? He wondered, gritting his teeth as a blow landed against his sternum, and one against his stomach.

"Huu…" He let out, the impression of her fists showing on his flowy white fabric… before he got himself back under control. A fist brushed along his cheek… but his face slid along it, similar actions happening for each following blow. She hits like a truck. His dodges became effortless in nature, thinking about how the battle was going as he allowed his body to shift back and forth. It was not extremely difficult, especially if she did not possess a technique like Rapido Avaces… as Colin was now using while he dodged, the air and wind around him flowing around his body, the energy and momentum building again…

Until his right hand was suddenly shooting between her guard. The energy had been completely deposited, flowing into his right hand… and his right knee. Fingers tried to grip against her face.. Very long fingers. Colin had large, spindly fingers. The strength behind that grip, however, was very real. The energy had flowed forwards to where his hand was, and now the energy was flowing back again, hopefully with Mirja's face in tow. The movement would also help create a counterbalance, making the knee that was slamming itself into her stomach generate even more force. "Boom."

The instant that these actions occurred in passed just like that, as it had all happened at once. Colin's body then let the energy flow back away from his knee, using it to disengage from her just like that, his body flitting and spinning about…

Until the multiple images of him began to fade, moments captured in time which then faded. Afterimages just made Colin happy. I perfectly respect the power that you have… He instructed his hollow, allowing for the Rapido Avaces to take him faster and faster again, focusing on his footwork as he reached new speeds. His cybermind had deduced the most complex route that he could use while he communicated with the beast inside, and now he was using it to create wind that would periodically slam into the Wolf, occupying her while he handled business inside his mind. Now can we please work together… like we used to…?

"I call this…"

Colin's body reappeared in front of Mirja again.

A sphere of blue energy in his right hand.

And all of the energy from Rapido Avaces flowing down into his feet, letting him bolt forwards.

"Feather Marble… Melee Path!"

Colin threw his body into Mirja, the Rapido Avaces from his legs flowing back into the sphere as his hollow's explosive energy surged outwards. If it connected, the sphere would expand rapidly outwards from Colin's hand, enveloping her entire body before releasing several localized explosions, ripping and bursting against her from every side in a spherical pattern. Colin's hand then fell back down to his side, looking at the sky as his golden blonde hair blew about in the wind.

"…Well, I guess I owe you one." He told her, the Hollow mask resting on the side of his head. "So let me ask something… your abilities seem to be much more burst like and forcing out in nature… do you have anything like the technique that I've been using, one that you have consistent use of that builds?" His statement would likely happen as she continued to assault him, his body dodging them just barely each time. He still was not back at one hundred percent, but unless she did something drastic he would be able to keep focusing on his words and footwork.

Mirja, The Wolf of Eden

Mirja

Masks Don't Hide the Sick - Page 2 6EdIfMt

Mirja could feel the man was certainly durable beyond anything she had punched before, even her strongest blows were not breaking anything inside him, and it was annoying. She wanted something to go snap, other than the landscape with had been devastated by her. But, at the same time, it was good that he was taking them so well, because she didn't want to kill anyone with her now unleashed power. A part of her mind that had started counting could tell that she was reaching the limit of her Heart's Kiai, and soon there would be the drop, but she would push herself until the very moment that she dropped.

But, she didn't keep him off balance enough, as he adapted quickly and managed to start dodging Mirja's attacks. She was slow to register now, and before she could throw in a wild card to dismantle his rhythm, she was hit with his counter-attack, and while hitting Mirja in this form would be uncomfortable boarding painful, it was certainly no joy-ride for Mirja herself. He was fast, and he was strong, as the knee slamming into her gut was testament to. Only the otherwordly durability that her Zero-Point and Cardinal Seal granted her avoided anything going snap, but it was still something that made taking a breath difficult. Then she was battered by wind enough to keep her from advancing until he came again, so beautifully fast. This was meant to be testing her Tundra Lotus, but she had lost herself, and now it was not testing anything at all, other than her own strength. She had not been able to let loose in a long time, and it just ripped it's way out, Bloodlust saturating the air in a palatable manner.

Then came the sphere, which enveloped her and exploded all around her, ripping at her skin and stressing her bones. She managed to keep structurally intact, if only just. It was to much right now, she had to regain control, so she dragged herself back into control, and managed to relax the sheer Violence Juice that was leaking from her. Taking a breath to ensure that she was in control, she knew that this fight was going to be over soon, so she needed to finish it spectacularly.
"If you can talk so casually, I must not be pushing you hard enough. Allow me to rectify that" She said, taking her stance for her Fangs of the Wind technique, and then abruptly vanishing from sight. There was no after-image, no smash of high-speed movement or sonic boom, she had just disappeared.

However, her whereabouts would be rectified in some seconds when she appeared directly in front of Colin with as much warning as she had vanished with. Her foot moving towards his chest with the power that dwarfed her previous attacks. Controlling the inertia of her quick three thousand mile an hour jaunt, she focused it all into a singular point, and lashed out with the kick. Her legs where several times stronger than her arms due to the genetic experiments of Caanan, and so when used in her Fangs of the Wind, several miles of forest behind Colin where scheduled for summary demolition from the air pressure that had been built up. And also if it connected, it would not do any favours for Colin, either. She wanted to do more, play more, and see more, but this was her limit. Hit or miss, she didn't have the time for a second attack.
