Meeting In Arms [Ava/Ulv]

Sun Oct 28, 2018 2:49 pm

"..Shit."

Things were starting to go very, very.. Wrong...

Some muscled guy burst in, and immediately proved to be an issue with a relentless assault towards Ava's group. This is why she never worked in groups. This is why she was never an up-front attacker. This is why...

Ava had been brought into and "adopted" by some people whom she found strange, that called themselves the Naku Clan, after some Cannan freaks tried another attempt at pulling her off to their weird-suited, brainwashed girl parade. She didn't like working in a group, but she had some form of debt valuing; they did patch her up, look out for, and not treat her like shit for months after all. Of those months she also spent missing Ulv, having several breakdowns, being a healthy dose of concerned over what the hell was currently put in her skull, occasional sights of the weird candy she was previously addicted over (of course she ignored these), and annoyance after annoyance of the weird black hands that would come out of her nape.

Regardless, today was a day that she and some fellow "family members" would go out and wreck up a base run by those followers, in which Ava, despite being a depressed little nut, was interested in giving them a hard time. Came out with a small team but took the hindmost position she could muster. She hated working out in the open after all; she was used to stealthing it and slashing her enemies when it counted, than hit it til it died. This was the bare minimum she currently stood, this and having some weird lady for a mentor. She hated having attachments, and for a while even regretted having one with Ulv, until she heard she was safe. She couldn't help but have a bit of a heart throb for the girl's safety. She reminded her of... Someone important.

But now? The whole base wrecking mission was going up in flames. Some muscle guy burst in, Ava vaguely recognized it as something someone called a Chimera. She didn't care. She was yanking along two fellow, rather injured members out of the way of his big meaty palms as another went to attack once more, but got rather cruelly shut down with an arm thwack to the chest.

"..This is why I hate groups..." She grumbled, yanking the two hopefully conscious members to a corner, "Stay, i'll figure something out..."

She looked to the hulking fool, kept busy by the remaining combatants, trying to figure out how the hell she could attack such a big... thing, while it was provoked...

Chimera. Little shits were are rarity for now, mostly because they were difficult to make and any Ulv made, she obliterated so hard they were not even chunks, which made reclaiming them hard. The jangle of her Devil Bonds was what made the fights more fun, as she couldn't just chop a mountain in half with these on. The power they gave to her Resolve Flame was something that Ulv found most amazing. She wanted more, and that was why they were still on. After last time, she was well aware of her limitations in the use of her strength. Fighting them would be a true tribulation, and it was those that she needed.

But it was going to be painful. She felt how strong those buggers were last time, and...admittedly she didn't really have the presence of mind to use her Cultivation, nor did she really know how strong or how much it would take to bring them down. So she'd go out now and make the head chopping motion and break the bastard. Dropping down from her position high in the sky, she landed with a great thud and made the place aware of her. And also made her aware of the place.

Cultivators were here. Shinmeiryuu from the feel of it, and Naku from the smell of it. Well, she could hardly be shown up in front of a guy who had been deemed Gold Rank in threat. There was the feel of another around that Ulv knew, another person, but that was for later. When this guy's head and body were in two separate locations. Opening up with Circling Nine Cranes, she left a nasty but all to shallow set of cuts on his upper thigh, starting the fight off well.
"Naku Clan! Cover my back" Ulv ordered, a throbbing Heavenly Mandate to ensure that nobody thought now was the time for pride.

"..Jeeze how am I supposed to slice this cow..?"

The girl grumbled, huddled by her two injured companions behind some cover, trying to wrap her head around this far out of her comfort zone battle. Her tired, depressed brain tried to kick up a plan of action, while tying up and fixing her allies' wounds. She grumbled here and there about the issue of a provoked opponent, til one of the wounded bothered up a sentence.

"Ugh, you might as well sit out.." He glared at her, trying to sit up, "Can't even pick up a sword, who doesn't even want to look at a sword..?"

"Oi. Knives are easier for me. Lie back down unless you want to split open like an unraveled mummy."

"How about you actually act like you belong instead of doing your own thing all the time?"

"How about you-" Ava was rather sharply cut off when she heard a great thud on the battlefield. She looked over, seeing a flash of red hair, some evoked personal feelings later she was suddenly being called into action, her fellow, on field combatants following on the newcomer's word.

"Kay, gonna lacerate this thing's tendons, bye."

She crept towards the Chimera, like a prowling lion, though her stride was far faster than the golden beast's, though the stealth was all the same. There was an opening, finally, the bastard had his back facing her. She didn't have experience with a literal hulking monster, but it had human flesh all the same, human body parts, human tendons. Two knifes, one in each hand, and an extra in her teeth offered the perfect attack for her. If one knife didn't cut through, a second slash would. If that didnt, a third would come soon.

And thus came her meat-rending knives, towards this brawling monstrosity's leg tendons. If it couldn't use a leg, it couldn't fight. Legs weren't as expendable as arms. If she could get her slashes in at all, she'd have cut through it's flesh, hopefully the monstrosity of nature being unable to keep balance, in which she'd dash out of the way.

Ulv watched Ava totally disobey the orders and not watch her back, instead rushing in and trying to take the thing's legs out with her knife. And apparently was Gold Realm already because that was the only way she could disobey the Heavenly Mandate. The other Naku got into position covering her back and did so well as there were others trying to hit it. Clearly the base wasn't big or well garrisoned, which was why the squad of Naku was small. The Chimera wasn't meant to be here. But then, Ava wasn't meant to be attacking it either.

Her knives would hit the leg and from the reactive enzymes and density of skin and muscle, she'd feel like she was hitting a brick. Knives lacked the weight and edge to be dangerous to the Chimera, and Ava herself lacked the strength, clearly having neglected her training. A good Stone-Rending Hew would make a mess but she lacked the ability it seemed. The Chimera, feeling the girl slashing around his legs and electing mere trickles of blood, snapped a kick aimed at Ava's head. For Ulv, it was not that fast of a kick, she was able to keep up. But for a young near-human like Ava, there was probably going to be quite the mess.

Plus Ulv had her pride and wasn't going to attack the guy while he was distracted. Which was why she said cover my back and not attack the thing.
"Bloody...this is why I never have children. They are a nightmare"

She thought her slashes would be successful, and with her sudden flutter of emotion, she had pounced. It wasn’t anywhere close to a well thought out attack, if anything she had the thought of why no one else moved while she did fluttering in the back of her mind. Though, going for the slashes to sever the tendons... Did not do what she wanted them to. Didn’t she sharpen these things? It felt like she was trying to cut through concrete..! Her knives flew from her hand, loosing the third from her teeth, she was going to try to finish, but then she saw the leg coming up, barely a gash on the leg.

“...The hell..?” She barely managed to get words out, her body attempting to move out of the way, but the thing, despite being a hulking bull from her perspective, impossible to be so far, gave her a nasty kick to the face. She vaguely heard how these guys were like, but they were fragments of conversation. She always kept to herself, she didn’t even bother engaging with her new “family”. Their ways sounded like nonsense to her, nonsense she couldn’t understand, and thus blocked out. She was in debt, but she wasn’t interested in becoming one with them, she didn’t want to make those bonds, she didn’t want... To suffer again...

The kick landed her face, causing the girl to flip backwards from the force, skidding several feet away from the action, red skid marks in her wake. The girl felt dizzied from the impact, the green haired lass putting a hand to her face to figure what was bleeding. Though she could feel the radiance of pain, her ability to think and analyze wasn’t hit; she was rather tolerant of injuries.

Nose might be broken.. Forehead bruised.. Skull might be cracked..

Her body was already starting to feeling weak and numb; shock or adrenaline, likely. Regardless, her misstep cost her ability to coherently fight. Her only option was to find cover and stay out of the action until things were concluded.

She heard the red haired broad complain as she crawled for cover, that same flush of emotion brewing in her chest. Emotion and impulse, they were things that held her back and ruined her...

The Shameless Deviant

Xian Naku

A brutal and vicious fight broke out between Ulv and the Chimera, quickly escalading to them escaping the confines of the camp and flying down the road. Devil Bonds though she may have been wearing, Ulv was still strong, and the Chimera was no slouch. Quickly, they were freed of his oppressive presence. But, soon it would be replaced. As Ava crawled into cover, a bamboo stick would land in front of her, and an elengantly dressed woman came to land on top of it, the tips of her toes balancing delicately on the small stick in the mud. She seemed a paragon of elegance, an angel from the heavens themselves. Until she spoke, of course, and the illusion is ruined.
"Ava~ Hello darling. Do you have any money? I need about, 100,000 yen"

Every face in the camp immediately turned sour as she arrived and asked her disciple for money as the first thing she did. She really, truly deserved her title as Shameless Deviant. But then a large body crashed down next to her and groaned in pain, highlighting the fact that while she was indeed a shameless deviant, she also throughly deserved her other title, as the Prodigy of the Naku Clan. A man with strong muscles and a foreboding aura that implied this man was far stronger than he seemed, slowly rose, his head spinning and his body stinging from the woman's treatment.

"I also brought you someone you can practice with. I hope you will accept us soon, and so maybe some practical field experience will help get you out of your shell"
