Ashlei stood perfectly still throughout the next few events to come. All around here was falling apart even faster than she had guessed. The sky was jet black, monsters now smashing buildings apart from the ground and whats this? Surrounding both Ashlei and Claire was now a giant bone cage? Ashlei looked around the giant structure and let out a sigh. Being sealed off from the rest of London must mean something was about to happen on a large scale. Of course it was! Watching Claire just a moment earlier, She had released to her Bankai state to counter Ashlei's Resserecion. Both were now in their better form and just by standing near each other their reitsu was breaking up the world around them. Claire was most certainly here to kill Ashlei and remove her from existence which any person wouldn't see as much of a surprise. However, Ashlei never saw her own mother that way. Where had her kindness gone? Wheres the mother she loved? This was not Claire. It couldnt be. She would never draw her blade to this level against Ashlei.

The Espada let out a sigh while she looked towards the ground. This was going to scar her forever more than it already has. No one should have to see their own family in this state for both sides. Ashlei looked up at Claire with a straight face but it was obvious she had been previously crying as she looked around. Four lines from each eye was smearing some of her red make up down her cheeks. The mere stinging in her eyes was barely anything for what she was planning to fight. But then something caught her eye just next to her. He... was back again.

"Ashlei" Crouching beside Ashlei was Tetsuka once more. The man in all black that looked like a living shadow. He was perched as though he was standing on a tip and staring at a city below. This wasn't the case as he was on ground level though. However his appearance hadn't scared Ashlei this time. the way he said her name before even moving. This wasn't like him either. "What... What is it?"
"This battle. it's likely that you will not survive alone. For the well being of both of us this day... Im gonna have to help you out..." Tetsuka spat at the ground after saying that sentence. he wasn't really in the mood to even aid anyone in this state but knowing fully well that Claire was a total lunatic at the moment, He had to at least try to keep his host alive for his own personal reasons. Ashlei looked at him almost stunned but she accepted his methods. For the first time, Ashlei said "Thank you" to Tetsuka.

Today was a day for Lifetime Firsts as well. Ashlei in resserecion and Claire in bankai plus london in flames? Those three have not occurred in so long if ever. But now was a time to start using those forms. Ashlei looked back up to her mother and Tetsuka walked around her to stand behind the Espada. He had to be wary of he triple tails as those sickled ends were as sharp as her four floating crusafix blades. Nevertheless, tetsuka could only be seen by Ashlei unless the opponent had access to Ashlei's inner world which Arrancar shouldn't even have. now, its just a spot for Tetsuka to hide within her.

Ashlei held her arm to her right once more and began to channel her reitsu around her body. Pink flames spat out of her body at a rate that shattered parts of the floor. The girl within the flames showed a face with such desperation and resolve it could shatter a mans soul. SHe was no longer goping to be the little girl that always needed her mothers protection. The tables had turned around this time. Ashlei was going to rescue her mother and not even blood queen can stop this bond from becoming strong once more.

"Get ready Blood Bitch... Im going to kill you... for being anywhere near my mother"
"Haha... thats it my girl... Lets blow this bitch out of existence!"

This cage...

The Blood Manifestation of Blood Queen emerging from Claire's very back was amused by this cage as she found it to be somewhat interesting. To think that Mana-Mana could seal off two beings as stong as they were like that. Blood Queen found it interesting and she wanted to break this cage as she felt being confined would be something annoying, but there were more important matters at hand. For example the one of removing this Ashlei from existence and allowing Claire to keep her level of insanity peaked for her vengeful ways. This Ashlei girl was at first a great addition into Claire's life, allowing her to find new ways of blood lust as well as ways of killing arts, but when Ashlei entered her new state, Claire followed and began to not want to kill anymore. When that small spark lit within Claire's heart, she started to change and become sane once again. Blood Queen was not going to allow that, as if Claire was sane, then Blood Queen's mission would no longer become possible, as well as her feeding ritual would become irrelevant to Claire.

Within the heart of Claire, nothing was happening. There was no beat or anything as her entire body was under the control and manipulation of Blood Queen. Her entire being was under this control and she was helpless, and her level of insanity was in control, making her a deadly force. As Ashlei began to channel her power, Blood Queen watched giving her the feeling of joy. She felt like she was the predator and she was now her prey. This allowed her adrenaline to flow making her power simply unbearable...

"There's something you don't realize child... We're not stuck in this little area together..."

That was when Blood Queen flung her arms wide, and as she did, Claire did as well causing millions of Claire's and Ashlei's to manifest. This was the ability known as "Creation of the Maker" where she could literally create anything she wanted. She could even re-create people, but the thing was, they don't last forever because they don't hold the soul of the original. All the Claire's and Ashlei's manifested were recreations of times in history when Claire and Ashlei had a moment, from the first time they met, to even their first kill together. There was even the ones from when Ashlei was transforming, and to when Claire begged for Ashlei's forgiveness...

But Blood Queen wanted to taint Ashlei's mind. Blood Queen knew this fight was over before it began, and she wanted to toy with the girl. She wanted to see how angry she could get, then to just hold her down and beat her repeatedly by the body of her own mother...

As the events of all the Claire's and Ashlei's unfolded looking like the normal bonds of mother and daughter, they all took a change for the worse, as it changed to Claire slowly torturing all the Ashleis and slowly making them suffer. The Claire's sunk their daggers into the child and slowly ripped her apart, as the Claire's told the Ashlei's that she was useless and an idiot for thinking she could ever be happy with a mother. The screams of the Ashlei's rang out all over the area as the Claire's continued to make the Ashlei's feel nothing but pain...

"YOUR STUCK IN HERE WITH ME!!!"

And that was when Blood Queen made it official that she wanted this child and everything about her to suffer slowly and painfully. Within the mind of Claire, there was nothing but darkness and screams. It was loud and it was dull because the screams would never stop. They were going for ages and ages, and while in this darkness, there was what looked like Claire sitting there, with her knees tucked into her chest holding herself. Her eyes looked senseless as there was nothing within the pupils and her breaths were slow and quiet. This was the sanity of Claire, doing nothing but sitting within her own realm of nothingness, suffering under her own torture of being in a realm of blackness and malice...

"Ashlei..." spoke the Sanity of Claire from within her own mind. She was helpless as the power holding her was too strong...

It was impossible for her to do anything, as now Blood Queen was in control of everything.

Claire stood on the other side of this realm, with Blood Queen manifested out of her back and waiting for Ashlei to take action. As she did, the other Claire's continued to torture the Ashlei's, attempting to effect with the mind of the two on the other end...

Ashlei did not make any notion that she was going to move from where she was standing. Tetsuka stood beside her and looked around with a grin on his face bigger than any face would actually allow. The sight of seeing people just die over and over around him got his adrenaline pumping. After all, he was here to cause pain and suffering to those he deemed worthy of his methods. Seeing as he has already possessed Ashlei, he can torture her from within however he pleases. Very similar to how Blood Queen works with Claire but they have their differences. For instance, Tetsuka would aid Ashlei in clearing out her enemy as best he can whereas most parasitic creatures would be more than happy of them to die. Tetsuka finished his rounds of watching the fighting before looking back at Ashlei. However before he laid hi9s eyes on her he looked back thinking 'She's gonna be in a rage, better not stare'. However, when he anticipated a large crash of her kicking off and dashing right through Claire, he was greeted by the sound of nothing at all.

tetsuka turned to look at his host with a confused expression which was a change from his usual grin. "Hey? Are you alright?" Tetsuka for once in his life showed worry for his victim. Why would such a person do this if he was planning to kill her off anyway? Ashlei was just looking forwards. Her entire body was still shaped like the pride and power of the Espada and still appeared more threatening than ever. But something had caught her attention that made her lose all aspect of the scene at hand. Every Ashlei that fell and Every violent Claire that attacked made Ashlei open her eyes even more. She said nothing except watched as her reitsu that was just a moment ago flaming with her emotions dropped to a point where only the pink flares of her eyes were lit up.

"Hey Ashlei?" Tetsuka waved his hand in front of her face. She didn't move or take notice. She just looked straight forwards. "Whats gotten into you?" What had actually occured, was Ashlei striking a thought. She had realised something that made her heart stop. All these people around her wouldn't usually have much of an affect on the girl as she had been there and done that before. Death of herself was nothing compared to the death of those she cherished. No... that wasn't her worry.

The problem was that just seeing this occur before her was making her scared. If this opponent could pull something like this out of the blue, what else could she be capable of? Could Ashlei even stand up to something like this? She didn't even have to ask herself the question as she knew very well her power wasn't going to work this day. The strength of the strongest Arrancar wasn't going to be enough for what she was about to do. But even though she was scared; Even though Ashlei knew she wasn't going to survive this battle... She still stood her ground. Nothing left her lips. No words were spoken. Instead, she grabbed a hold of one of the floating blades around her body and held it backwards like some ninja sneak stance and crouched slightly.

Tetsuka watched. He knew she was becoming more and more serious. This wouldn't require him in the slightest so the dark man faded back into the realm where he belonged. As he took a step backwards and his body fell into shadow, he spoke silently to his host. "Do not die..." Then the man was completely gone leaving the young girl standing in the middle of a massacre of herself. A nightmare that even she was having trouble to stand still in. Tetsuka noticed something as he faded. He looked at Ashlei's face and hands. She was crying.... she was shaking... and she wasn't ready for this.... not in the slightest...

Was anything clear? Could the darkened ends of sanity see anything outside of blackness? Only things could be heard, not seen. Within the realm of madness, a small glimmer of hope was feint, but it wasn't strong. Surrounded by the miasma of sickness, the little flame of retribution hung loosely. That small glimmer was the only hope of Sanity left within the mind of Claire, and it was hardly surviving. It was hearing the endless screams from outside, and as they went on, the pose of sanity covered her hears, begging to not hear the repeated cries of torture of her child. To a mother it was nothing less than agony. She didn't want to hear it, and she didn't know what to do. Blood Queen was too strong and there was no way Claire would be able to stand up to her. Why did Claire get pinned with Blood Queen? Was it because of all the despair she endured within her history that it only added up to this reality of suffering? Was her want of revenge so strong that it brought forth a glimmer of madness? Why did Claire get the insane one while Senna got the one of infinity and Ceon got the one of Storms? Ceon was angry when he was killed and yet he got a power to represent retribution and fury. He was an assault type and yet he got an annoying Spirit that stood behind his decisions. Senna was a forgiving type, but one to always remember and never forget. It was somewhat ironic that she attains fake memories when revived, but she attained the power of infinity. She was a support and burst type, even though it took her a long time to attain that. Claire was positive, manipulative, always beautiful, and average for a teenage girl before she died...

So why did she get Blood Queen???

'Oh... It's because I was sin...

Claire wanted revenge, but not only that, she wanted everyone to suffer as she did. Her hearts desire was of hatred, and Blood Queen noticed that, and from that, selected her to be her host. Kaizaken saw the urge to protect and defend within Ceon and went to him, while Senna longed for an eternity with Ceon, giving her Mirokumaru, the ability of infinity and eternity...

Claire sighed softly from within the realm of darkness, being weighed down by her own despair...

From within the cage, Blood Queen was having a ball. She could feel the uneasiness from Ashlei, and just loved how she was beginning to become afraid. It was within the atmosphere of their sealed location, and everywhere. Blood Queen smirked and decided she would fuck with the child a little more, before really obliterating her from existence, and decided to flick her wrist. This caused Claire's wrist to flick in reflection as all the Claire's and Ashlei's in the area stopped making noise and moving. They then slowly looked over at Ashlei with emotionless expressions. They all began to walk towards Ashlei, step by step now, muttering something from under their tongues as it grew louder and louder as they all got closer and closer. They could be heard saying, Useless... Useless... as they got closer and closer...

They all grabbed whatever they could as they dove from Ashlei, attempting to strike her down, but they were just anomalies and we're really anything of true potential. Just more puppets that Blood Queen could control and manipulate...

While doing so, Blood Queen felt like messing with Ashlei some more, as she used an ability called Power of the Lords. With this, she removed all kinetic and potential energy, forcing her to not move, and stay. This was going to be interesting because now, she had to deal with all the created beings while holding still. Blood Queen wasn't going to kill her just yet, as she was enjoying herself. This was just too amusing and Blood Queen wanted to savor the sweet despair of this child before removing her of this plane of existence...

"Yes child, lets see how you fare now~"

While within the Freyed ends of sanity, the real Claire could only continue to feel pressure. She couldn't do anything, but she didn't want her child harmed...

What could she do to help??

Ashlei being Ashlei made little attempt to stop anything that her opponent was doing. Things were getting rough and any sane person would have fallen apart by now or at least screamed their head off and fled. Sadly, Ashlei is a very stubborn girl and wasn't just going to run away without some kind of attempt. But when she finally brought the strength to make a move, she was stopped in place. Her right arm still across her face holding one of her blades, Ashlei froze. This was a very big problem as Ashlei desperately needed to fuel her body to keep her resserecion going or she could drop it right there. Her power was built to stay on when she needed it and stopped her from using it would cause it to stop working.

Ashlei could say anything so she merely thought to herself 'Shit this is bad already' and continued to stare forwards without blinking. At any time Blood Queen could just dash in and take her out which wasn't how she envisioned the bout to end. Luckily, she made a different move which made Ashlei want to grin. The copies of Ashlei and her mother around her started to move towards her with a killing intent. Each one called her useless repeatedly as they moved closer and closer bearing weapons. The real Ashlei saw right into this trick. It was to make her feel useless and drop her guard even more. Well that wasn't going to happen.

The copies got right up close and started to swing their weapons and throw fists at the surrounded girl and soon engulfed her within a mass of what looked like zombies hacking away at a lone survivor. However Ashlei did not scream. Nor did she even try to move her body from the standing coma she was in. Instead, she just willed an attack back at the things trying to kill her. They are not Ashlei and they are certainly not Claire. None of them deserve to even breath on this world and will meet an appropriate end. The four blades Ashlei uses hover around her body and if anything, are spiritual and cannot be halted by stunning her main body. All Ashlei needs to is the will to move her blades and they will move. three of the swords were out of her grip and moved themselves to point right upwards and hover in front of Ashlei's chest. The other in her hand had to break free from her nimble hand before it could join in with the attack.

Then within a matter of seconds, Blood shot into the air and and came falling back down onto the group that was attacking the girl. Not all of it was from the things her swords were attacking. Each time one of the people struck Ashlei, a blade would shoot through their face and out the back of their head before circling round and hitting others. This meant Ashlei was still being beaten within.

After the crowd had been dealt with, Ashlei alone was standing but in a different status. Her clothes were torn in nearly every direction and blood was trickling from her forehead down her face. Her arms was drenched in blood and so were her clothes. However barely any of it was that of those she attacked. Each blade moving struck their owner at least twice upon killing a single target meaning Ashlei effectively stabbed herself twice for every killed copy.

Ashlei still didnt speak. She just thought to herself 'This isnt going well' and stared at her target still waiting for something to occur. Even if it meant killing herself she would stop Blood Queen this day...

'If I speak, would I be heard? If I yelled, can I even make a sound?'

Claire was unknowing of how to get the attention of her daughter in which to help her against Blood Queen. How would this in any way be possible in her mental prison? Standing up to look around she could only see the mists of darkness surround her as the noise was being dulled out from the screams of despair of all those she's killed for many years. They were distracting, but somehow, Claire just tried her best to ignore them. Her heart beating a little faster than normal as she was scared, but her determination not waivered. How does one escape this prison of darkness and discord to return to the material world with a wealth of sanity? There has to be a way, but it wont be found doing nothing...

Claire shut her eyes and began to focus. Her focus was on her mind, will, and heart. She needed know how to get her body back from Blood Queen in which to not allow Blood Queen to kill her daughter, or worse, erase her. The difference between those was simple as if she was killed, Claire would still have a chance of bringing her back to life with her bankai and harvesting her soul, but if she was erased, her existence would become deleted and she would no longer hold a soul in which to harness. This will not be allowed...

While Claire was trying to look for a way to regain herself, Blood Queen was enjoying the game outside. Ashlei was being such a good toy, and Blood Queen was very amused. The games were fun, but it was about time to end the festivities and get things done now. Blood Queen let out a sigh as she moved her hair away from her eyes and smiled over at Ashlei in a way of thanks. Her blood body that was emerged from Claire's back was still shadowing over Claire and controlling her every move...

"You were such a dear, and I thank you for playing, but sadly I feel a small resistance... It means, play times over..."

And with that, a small amount of rishi began to surrounde Claire and Blood Queen as she smiled at Ashlei. Lifting her hand up, Blood Queen grasped out, grabbing hold of Ashlei's retsu and her rishi, making her a victim of the puppetier, Blood Queen. She began to laugh as now was the time to cause some damage. Blood Queen threw her hand to the right, thus taking Ashlei's entire body and throwing her into the cage walls, but that wasn't all, as she shifted the energy levels of potential energy, but made them come from the cage wall where Ashlei was being thrown making it as if gravity was shifted, and Blood Queen doubled it making her fly faster than anything at the cage wall. Since the seal was unbreakable from the inside, then with all the force of not only the throw, but the magnitude of the level of gravity in which made Ashlei's speed unseeable, the damage should be extensive...

Blood Queen just snickered...

"That was just a slap dear. Want to see what any other ability of mine would be like??"

Blood Queen began to walk...

Closer...

and Closer...

To Ashlei, holding out her pitchfork...

A dark and evil grin on her face...

[Ashlei Vs Claire] BATTLE OF LONDON: The Fading Family Sad-emo-anime-girl-1-1-2

~ I've lost all form and unity where has my life gone, I'll bring you doom that you can see, and bring you down to see you bleed ~

Spoiler:

-------------------------------------------------------
Ashlei was well aware of what was suddenly happening around here as even gravity itself seemed to move. The girl had been playing herself for too long and desperately needed to tip the scales in her favour at least once before anything catastrophic happened. So as soon as her reitsu was tampered with and the world started to shift gravity, Ashlei pushed her entire soul into bringing this into an advantage. Within an instant, Ashlei was smashed into the wall of the cage but the pressure that was created upon impact masked the entire wall of the cage in dust and dirt from the floor obscuring any vision of the girl. What Ashlei has actually done here, was manipulate herself into moving regardless of being frozen still. how did she do it? She's the fucking Cero Espada! get used to it!

As soon as she left the floor, reitsu blasted out of her body at a rate that made it almost impossible to be grabbed a hold of. So even though she was being thrown, she had given herself the means to move by destroying the spell she was under with her own reitsu. This was very similar to a kenpachi vs Byakuya situation where his yellow energy withstood senbonzakura when they collided and managed to force it back. the principles are the same here. So when the dust and dirt fell from the air it had been thrown into, Ashlei could be seen up against the wall. However, she was not laying down with massive injuries, but was instead crouching with one leg bent all the way normally and the other outstretched (see spoiler for a better look)

Spoiler:

Ashlei had hit the wall stupidly hard though and any other person would have shattered upon impact, broke their legs or had plain died from the speed. But this was Ashlei and she wasn't an average girl nor a simple Espada. She was the strongest of them all and all the while this occurred she kept her eyes closed and her swords hovering around her. She was lucky to be an arrancar as her hierro absorbed a lot of the impact meaning she didn't get as injured as expected but her legs were definitely in shock. They were shaking with her even wanting them to and one spasmed so she dropped a bit. However she was stuck to the cage wall so it barely looked like a slight drop. Then she opened her eyes to look at Blood Queen who was pleased with her damage and started walking closer. This did not frighten Ashlei as much as before as now the girl was going to start to fight back her own way.

This kind of opponent though was a bad omen as her blades and blood techniques would be useless. Having to use 'that' would be stupid as it would kill both of them in such a confined space but she had to try. Not leaping straight to her ultimate attack, Ashlei began to charge energy in her hand but kept it completely out of sight. The red aura was masked by her own clothes and pulsating reitsu making it look like she wasn't even charging a thing. However instead of just launching a counter attack, Ashlei started to speak.

"Blood queen... please" Ashlei still looked as distraught as the battle had began but the left side of her dress was pretty destroyed revealing a lot of her left hip and body. She certainly looked much worse than she usually did and that bloody hair was leaking all down her face with streams narrowly missing her eyes and tears. "please... give my mother... BACK TO ME!" Ashlei's voice exploded with a soundwave of air as it rushed from her mouth ordering blood queen to get away and return her mother. But before even letting the woman answer her plead, Ashlei threw her hand forward with the finished charging energy. Her entire arm had been enveloped in lightning of red colour and was now blasted forwards right in the queens direction. Seeing as she was walking towards Ashlei she was pretty damn close to a blast of this power was gonna leave a mark if she just stood there. After all, Ashlei's infamous gran rey cero was known to devastate her every opponent. But she did not stop there either.

Her other hand followed up with a rapid succession of bala to accompany the cero. Even though the blood red balls were useless here they would prove distracting and the explosion of the cero into the ground if she dodged would create some huge crater at least. Right after firing, Ashlei held her arms across her face in a cross and braced herself for the inevitable collision with either her mother or the earth beneath them. Either witch it was gonna hurt them both at this range.
