Truffles and Punch [Elyss] - Page 2 7L69wmz

Abigaíl's eyes grew wide as she recognized more and more what was happening to the girl. There was no question for it, and no doubt in her mind for longer than a moment. A new Vizard was being born, and she was standing only an arm's length away from it.

Run...

The voice from the back of her own mind pleaded with her to flee, to safety and solitude. To somewhere the newly born monster wouldn't be able to chase. For just a moment or two, she entertained such a thought, too, but she couldn't go through with it. This was her first time seeing it from the outside, but she knew the damage and havoc that Elyss could wreak in even minutes. She cared little for the city above, but the harm that Elyss might do to or bring upon herself was immense.

Flee, dammit...

Her reiatsu surged to meet with the crimson hue surrounding the redhead. It tried to envelope the brunette, to carry her away from here, but through her own willpower, she pushed her other half's influence back down inside and shut her out.

"Elyss! If you can hear me, fight back!" She shouted over the music , uncertain if the girl would have heard her even without it. She certainly had never heard others talking when she Hollowfied. "If it takes over, you'll only wish you were dead!"

Her words spoken to no avail, the redhead charged with a greater speed and ferocity than she had shown before. The former Stealth Force officer vanished from where she had stood just in time for each blade to bite into only air, and stepped away from where she'd landed a mere twenty feet to the girl's left. Her freed left hand rose swiftly to her face, and with a mighty pull back revealed...

Nothing. No change, and only the reiatsu of a Shinigami.

No...

"Shit!" She cursed loudly, and swiftly grasped her sword in both hands again. Whatever reason Arácnida had for cutting her off now, she didn't have the time to think about it. Immediately, she spun to face the girl, and assumed a low stance with her zanpakutō held parallel to the ground and level with her own right shoulder.

With or without the full breadth of her powers, she had to survive without harming the girl.

“She runs she runs she runs~!”

Such fast movements are missed by Elyss’ untrained eyes, but Abigail could not hide. There is no where to go. Her Reiatsu still fouls the stagnant air about them; Elyss’ twitching nose senses such as her head swivels to the woman’s new position. At that moment, one will see the horns sprouting from Elyss’ head grow longer as the ends begins to shrink into sharp points; her skin whitening all over. Her, now crimson red, eyes lock onto Abigail as the scleras of her eyes are consumed by darkness making the crimson pupil seemingly glow. With a growl, she reveals her sharpened fangs.

She can feel it; adrenaline pumping through her body. The unstoppable ability of her Zanpakuto coursing through her veins empowering her capabilities, kindling with the Hollow’s corruption within her; her transformation steadily being boosted despite her silent Zanpakuto’s will to deter her change.

“Fight me not, for I bring salvation from your pain~ They lie, deceive, control! Only I speak the truth! This power is yours and they fear it! Show no mercy~”

No. Elyss cannot hear the words of Abigail. Not as she is. Her anger. Her rage. Her grief. It is all being manipulated and reigned against her. There is only one thing prominent in her mind besides the voice that soothes; destruction.

Uncaring for Abigail’s readiness, Elyss is already stamping her feet against the ground hard surging her energy at the moment signaling she’s preparing to attack seconds before she pushes forward again with her blades seemingly a tad faster than before.

“Fire upon thy head~”

She roars midcharge as the room suddenly turns red due to the sudden glow forms between the horns on her head that takes the shape of a small distorted ball; a bala. It doesn’t give off that intense of power due to Elyss’ still unstable transformation process, but the existence of the ability shows how far the redhead has fallen in such a short amount of time.

Yes. Even while in such a monstrous state, Elyss seems to have some battle wits about her as she expected her swinging blades to miss, but as soon as Abigail dodges or blocks her attacks; the bala on her head shall fire upon whatever spot she is sensed. There is nothing particularly special about this attack however. It is a simple ball of energy that detonates on impact with an object, and it seems only one is fired.

Abigaíl Espinosa

Panic arose in her mind as the dull red glow shone from atop Elyss' transforming head, yet Abigaíl pushed that down and remained steadfast. There wasn't enough power in it, she told herself. It didn't have the right killing intent. It would not be a Cero, but a Bala, instead.

As the redhead neared, she leapt airborne and struck. With practiced speed that far surpassed what she could accomplish with any other attack, the brunette stabbed at the girl with supernatural precision. For that single moment, her blade would be stronger. Faster. Metal clanged against metal, and the vibrations shook her arms down to the bone, but the trade had been made.

With its tip anchored to the floor, her zanpakutō held strong to anything and everything that it touched, which now included the two swords that had been stopped in their paths. Its hold would never be overcome by another, not until its owner relented...

... or was dead.

The red ball struck her cleanly in her face, and Abigaíl tumbled head over heels backwards from the force. Her zanpakutō had left her hands, and as Elyss could do the same at any time, the danger wasn't passed just yet.

Unseen handholds assisted Abigaíl to right herself again, and she landed on her feet facing the girl. The Bala was going to leave a bruise on her cheek, but her eyes remained firm and wary. Her fists raised to offer some sort of defense, but without a weapon or her other half's power, she was left at a stark disadvantage.

There was naught to do but wait until Elyss could take back her control, she thought. With this in mind, she backed away quickly, and put as much space between herself and the Hollow as she was able.

A block?! A powerful defense it was; Elyss feeling her arms shake and rattle as Abigail and her’s blades met. Though, there is no action against the Bala that had formed upon her head, and Elyss lets loose a victorious howl as the brunette is blasted away. Though, this is not where it ends for the redhead’s rampage. That howl becomes crueler and wickeder as she goes to pull her Zanpakuto up to her side… As she goes to pull her Zanpakuto up to her… side… As she goes…

Her blades do not budge. Her red eyes fall down to her swords that still connect to Abigail’s own sword that's tip connected to the floor of this cube. What tomfoolery keeps her from lifting her weapons of mass destruction? With angered grunts, she pulls and tugs and exerts herself to lift her swords from this inconceivable tomb that they find themselves trapped within. Her struggling does not stop as her mind fails to understand this strange interaction that Abigail has caused; her ability to think dwindling and decaying as she is corrupted further and further by this inner demon that calls itself her friend.

With white skin akin to chalk, the redhead howls increased in volume as her face seems to start to harden in places; her forehead jutting with that same hardness as the horns on her head change from their pure white to a crimson red matching her eyes. A single red dot appears on the middle of her forehead as she looks to Abigail with pure unadulterated hatred, but such hatred isn’t aimed at her. This anger seemed to encompass the room as her Hollowed Reiatsu travels outward.

“You!”

Her gargled, mangled, and broken voice highlighted by her Hollow’s echoes out as she points her anger directly at Abigail forcing the Reiatsu to focus on her and rush forward to embrace her with her raw feelings zeroing the redhead in on the brunette and forcing such anger to literally press down on the woman to force her own emotions to react in kind. Who knows what Abigail will feel if she’d even feel at all, but the intention is clear. The woman’s actions have surely angered her rampaging friend.

“Disappear!”

The room, again, suddenly becomes a shade of red as the forming Bala upon her head begins to form as energy clumps together in a wicked embrace birthing another of those blasts that blew her backwards. Running away will not deter Elyss’ aim from her fleeing prey. Anyone can feel that this Bala held more power within its form as Elyss fell further and further into the corruption’s grasp, and without another word, the red ball of destruction is let loose towards Abigail once more as Elyss held onto her stuck Zanpakuto’s handles.

Abigaíl Espinosa

The progression of Elyss' Hollowfication only continued unabated, and had seemed to rob her of her critical thinking. Whatever the cause for the redhead's refusal to let go of her weapons, it kept her in one place, and that was good enough for the brunette at this time.

Abigaíl braced herself against the onslaught of the girl's building anger and hatred towards her. Even in its purest, most unrefined form, her reiatsu was heavy and felt like it might try to strangle her itself. She tried again to call upon her other half's power, only to be given a brief response from the back of her mind, instead.

You shut me out, remember..?

"What?" Abigaíl screamed in frustration, just before diving out of the path of another oncoming Bala. She continued to run, and pushed herself and her speed far past the likes that any normal human could reach. If she could keep enough distance between the two of them, then she would have enough time to dodge any more Bala that might come her way.

"Fuck! Fuck you, then!" Again, she screamed to nobody that could be seen. "I'm not running!" There was no response, not even a feeling or emotion from her other half. By now, she'd reached the far wall, and stopped. Surely, Elyss would have to come to her to have any chance of an attack landing, and she hoped the Hollow would stay reluctant to leave its weapons behind.

She tried desperately to remember how long her own battle had taken. Maybe that would give her a clue how long she'd need to keep this up.

How annoying? How troublesome? Her blades refuse to move, but, despite being in such mental chaos, Elyss seemed highly reluctant to release her grip on the handle of her Zanpakuto. For the moment, her attention on the running Vizard waned as she continued struggling to pull her blades free from Abigail’s. It seemed an impossible task, but Elyss continued struggling and whined when no progress seemed feasible.

“Leave the blades behind!”

She felt her whole body shook as she convulses in on herself in writhing pain before arching herself backwards letting out a loud howl as the presence in her mind pushes her to give it full control. It seemed that Elyss was fighting this in some manner. Maybe it’s the influence of her Zanpakuto. It is as much fighting off this change as it is supporting it. Her growing power may not be controllable, but her mind is still up for grabs, and despite her truant stability, there is still a battle waging physically and spiritually. It is obvious, however, that she and her Zanpakuto is losing by her still corroding body. More and more of these stonelike appendages continue to grow along her arms and fingers as it seems her face is becoming more masklike; a sharp red line appearing on her forehead entrapping the red dot in a downward half circle.

Abigail seems to be having her own mental debates going on, but that mattered little to Elyss as another Bala forms on her head much like the last two. There are no sounds from Elyss as her red hair flies wildly from the energy’s growing presence. Another attack being prepared for Abigail? Well… actually…

Elyss suddenly drops her head directly down before firing downwards into the ground right onto the Zanpakuto stuck together in an attempt to somehow destroy the ground holding the swords down or blow the swords apart. An explosion ensues kicking up smoke from the spot. Such an explosion surely would have blew Elyss backwards, but that all depends on if her blades were dislodged from her stuck position or not. Either way, she would be seen still holding them whether her position has changed or not. It all depends on just how much force Abigail’s sticky ability could withstand.

Abigaíl Espinosa

She had been ready to dodge another Bala as its red glow emitted from the girl's forehead, but Elyss -or the Hollow- had another idea. Instead, the swift ball was aimed downward, and the resulting explosion threw up a dust cloud through which couldn't be seen.

Abigaíl acted without thinking. The previous Bala hadn't exploded like that, so Elyss' Hollowfication was progressing even further, and quickly, still. She was exhibiting the Hollow's own powers, and not just the standard abilities possessed by all the race. Furthermore, it was the sort that could do some damage, and her first thought was of the girl harming herself with it.

With the music covering for the sound of her heightened speed, she stepped the great distance between the two of them and appeared behind where the redhead had just been standing. As the smoke cleared just a little, she could see her crimson hair dancing wildly from the girl's movements, and Abigaíl leapt.

The idea was to get the other in a choke hold. Something simple, but effective if she could pull it off. With Elyss' power rising by the second, and her own lack of cooperation from her other half, however, she wasn't entirely sure what good it would do.

That did nothing. She had moved nowhere from her location. Her blades are as stuck as they were moments before. Self injury is all she is rewarded for her efforts. It didn’t matter that Abigail had moved, nor did Elyss care to try and dismiss the smoke around her letting it waft away on its own. All that mattered was that her attempt at freeing her weapons had failed, and there seemed nothing capable of breaking this unbreakable stickiness that holds them down. That’s when she feels the urge to let them go increase, but the feeling that she’d lose even more than she has kept her still.

Well, it kept her still until she felt arms around her neck. Yet, when pressure is applied to her neck, Elyss didn’t seem to react as one normally would. Her body felt stuck; stoic despite the hold being forced upon her. It’s strange how Elyss refused to react to Abigail; her mind preoccupied with her mental debate of what is to become of her swords. Her Zanpakuto is continuing to command she holds on as the other voice continues to suggest alternatives. It is understandable though. If she lets go, she’ll be losing a piece of her that is keeping her eroding mind from being completely taken over. Still, her body’s losing to the Hollowization.

It’s only a matter of time before something happens; someone loses. The redhead has been too erratic to predict, and that is the major issue here. No one knows what will happen next, but one thing is clear. Time is running out.

Abigaíl Espinosa

The girl had hardly reacted. Abigaíl was at a loss for what more she could possibly do. She wasn't Ulv. She couldn't just hold Elyss down until she emerged victorious. She certainly coul- wouldn't end the redhead's life just to spare her a fate that might not be guaranteed, yet.

So, she tightened her grip, until her arm ached against the girl's hardened skin. However, none of it ever seemed to do any good. Without her other half, she lacked the strength necessary for it.

So soft... That woman's made you soft...

"For fuck's sake, Elyss! Fight harder!" She screamed over the music into the redhead's ear. It was about all she could do now. "Don't tell me you'd lose to a voice in your head!" Somewhere in her mind, a small hint of pity welled up from an unexpected source.

Fine... Have it your way... If you're going to get yourself killed...

Without warning, power coursed through the brunette's body, and she freed one hand for just long enough to don her mask. The very moment that her monstrous visage had fallen into place, her other half's power surged. The simplest of contact with her skin would begin to burn and ache, and her freed hand grasped for the back of the girl's head.

However, that was only for leverage. With or without the girl's scalp under her fingers, she raised her legs up and planted them firmly upon the air itself, then she pushed. She pushed with all her might so that Elyss might be forced down, closer to where Araña stood. Her leaps and kicks were enough to shatter bone, and they had, and if she could only make the redhead touch her sword, then there would be no need to hold her still.

That was her hope, anyways. Maybe if she distracted the Hollow with regenerating, she could succeed in forcing it to kneel.

Fight? She’s in a fight? But, the voice… It promises her victory. All she has to do is give in to it. Let this power growing inside her take control and lead the way.

“I’ve not known you for letting power control you!”

Her red glowing eyes widened slightly as the old man in her head speaks up louder than he has ever before. That’s when the words of Abigail actually register in her head. What is she actually doing? This all didn’t seem right. It didn’t feel right. She’s no better than every other time she’s lost control over herself; something she hates with a passion. This voice isn’t helping her in a way that Elyss wants. In fact, it’s not even helped much at all. It’s just making her attack a person who she doesn’t even dislike. She feels so close to that Wolf that attacked her, and this is not what she wants.

“Letting a voice control your body? How disgraceful to your very being.”

“No! Listen to me! Let us teach them all a lesson!”

Abigail may feel Elyss’ body become slack before she donned her mask.

“If you won’t let me in, I’ll just force myself in.”

That is when Elyss feels immense pain in her head before letting out a pained scream before she feels her body pushed downward by Abigail. Down to the floor she goes, her face landing down hard as her right horn slides down Abigail’s sword. There is no movement after that; no indication that Elyss is even alive besides her Reiatsu and breathing as she lay still; her horn now stuck to the other’s Zanpakuto.
