To understand a monster (open with a special invite to Radioactive)

the forest was dark around this hour. the nocturnal animals were starting to come out. Those include hollows and demons alike that used this place as a home. This was well and truly known by a certain someone darting overhead, her wings flapping rapidly as she searched the forest from above. Itb was vast, big enough to see it go on into the distance. She sped on to try and find what she was looking for. Suddenly, a voice rung through her head. brushing her long red hair aside, she listened to what it said.

'My lady, Your sister is several yards to your left'

the girl nodded, almost expecting the voice to understand she had done so. Darting left now, she zoomed across the sky towards where she thought the girl might be. This woman was indeed Ashlei Clixx, elder sister of the Mischevang family and to the girl we saw just before with the horse. Ashlei could feel a rise in spiritual pressure. Flea must be down there. Dashing down now, Ashlei burst through the tree's to ground level and stopped moving. A body of a dead man lay on the ground, his head completely blown off. She then looked up to see the body of a demon, it;'s head also in pieces along the tree's. Ashlei smiled, she could see the girl and horse standing before her. Folding her arms, the red haired girl yelled out to her little sister.

"HEY! BE CAREFUL!"

maybe that would scare the little one and make her fall over or something. That would be funny, but she just wanted what was best for her little sister. Flea was always getting into trouble and her recent obsession with killing Radioactive has become....dangerous...

Shit, this wasn't good at all. With everything happening around her, Ashlei;s mind had to over-clock to make sure she could take in both what this thing was saying, come up with responses and also devote attention to her little sister. Firstly, the man had yet to arrive at their location and Ashlei strolled over to her little sister, stroking the side of this horse as she passed. It was a brilliant beast. One fitting a knight like Flea. It was soon after Ashlei moved past the horse that things started to change. Ashlei's sensed trigger instantly and this was abruptly reinforced by a message inside her mind from Lucy once more.

'My lady, I'm picking up signs of an unknown entity moving towards your location. Databases can only conclude that this creature is the same man you had met before at Chaos Island."

Ashlei smirked, not because she was entertained but because she now knew things were going to go down. At this very moment however, Ashlei wanted to avoid confrontation with anything that held enough power to stop her. In a past attempt, Ashlei failed to kill this man as unpredicted events caused their battle to end. Even with masked reitsu and a hidden figure, Ashlei hadn't come to this forest unprepared. Who do you take her for? Lucy was to thank for all these informative readings so when the cloaked figure made it's appearance, Ashlei knew exactly where to look to see it. The thing was above them, and Ashlei reacted quickly to create a defensive stance. Reaching under her dress, an almost snapping sound could be heard from her leg as she yanked what appeared to be a knife hidden inside of her thigh. Blood drenched, Ashlei held the red dagger in her right hand and bent her knee's ready for anything to happen.

It removed it's hooded cloak, tossing it aside like an old rag. It vanished from Ashlei;s sight, but it wasn't the highlight of her attention. This man was Radioactive. He had some renown about the antagonist side of the world. They knew who he was and what he was capable of so Ashlei was not expecting anything less than a crater where she was now standing. It was when the shark began to pretty much insult the Queen, she lost a bit of her ground. Her eye twitched as she looked away from him, pissed off at his words.

"Spineless? You expect such a fragile city to frighten the likes of me? You do not understand the meaning of fear, fish."

Now Ashlei was also aware of something. She had dropped some blood just now. Now, from her knowledge of sharks and from what rumours she has mustered, this would probably cause the shark to attack her head on. is it bad this is half what she actually wants though? The rest is sent to worry for her little sister as her feelings for this monster were great. They both wanted him dead to some extent. Radio wouldn't let down on his tedious insults either. Did this man kiss his mother with that mouth or did he bite her face off? The answer was probably obvious. Ashlei looked up at him, still looking a little ticked off.

"You dare compare me to the state of a demon? I may plot in the shadows but for a walking rogue tuna, are you not the one that truly works from darkness?"

it wasn't soon after this that Ashlei grew slightly confused. White haired man? who is he referring to? Ashlei only knew one man that was closely linked like that to her. He must be speaking of another male.

"I think you will find I am perfectly capable of tearing whoever this white man is in half with my sharp hands. You speak as though your trying to get underneath my skin..."

After this trade of words, Ashlei couldn't help the little Flea Mischevang was changing her mood. She seemed tense. Too tense. SUddenly, the little girl burst from the earth, dashing directly for the shark. Ashlei registered this quickly and had to react before Flea did something that would kill her. the winds around her blew Ashlei's hair across her face with enough force to even make Ashlei have to cover her eyes from the dust. She did however quickly respond.

"FELLI!"

Ashlei's feet too left the earth but the main difference was how the earth beneath Ashlei's feet cracked, shunting up slightly behind her as the force of her movement shifted the very dirt she stood on. Moving faster than any Arrancar seen today, she moved herself between the shark and little girl, her hand swung around to backhand the sword strike and allowing it to dig right into her wrist. yanking her arm back so the sword bounced out of her skin, Ashlei smacked the cero her little girl fired towards the sky and to also keep her other hand up, ready to defend against the shark if he chose to retaliate. Flea would have dashed backwards afterwards, her cero now zoomed off into the sky never to be seen again. Ashlei stood perfectly still between them, a stern look on her face though she was not pleased with Flea's actions, but also because she feared not for her own safety, but for the life of her little sister. Blood now covered Ashleis entire right arm as she shook, holding the knife in a quivering hand.

"Felli, do not attack this creature so abruptly. Who know's what he will do if you actually strike him..."

Ashlei turned her back to flea to look at the shark. If he tried absolutely anything, Ashlei would use her perfected movement technique to grab Flea and dart into the sky, out of explosion range. She could register movement. She was capable of doing this calculation alone. Her version of the Sonido was faster...

Ashlei listened on, her hand shaking from the blood coating it. Ashlei's face however was showing only tired signs of listening to this creature babble on about bullshit. he understood nothing about Ashlei and so making judgements like that was absolutely callous. Such an insensitive and cruel man spouting such devious words and insults. it made Ashlei's blood boil. In fact it didn't just do that, it gushed through Ashlei;s minds and emotions like a raging fire. How dare this man speak so lowly of her. How dare he rub absolutely everything she stood for into the dirt. He had absolutely no right to stand up to her in this manner. What kind of beast was this shark? No wonder he was such a loner. Nobody could speak to this shark for a minute before they felt like throwing up their hatred for him into a death wish in his direction. Did that make any sense? no? good. It wasn't supposed to.

Ashlei stood firmly, her arm still raised and trickling. She slowly lowered it to her side and watched Radio move. He wasn't going to take Ashlei;s interefance lightly. In fact, it seemed Radio had a hatred for Ashlei's movement, screeching hatred at her with every spiteful word. Each, stabbing Ashlei in her heartless chest creating gaping wounds for her to cry upon. or is that what you expected? Ashlei did not step down. She listened sure, but she did not take any of it in as factual truth. She ignored his stupid remarks. She did however reply before he began his attack.

"Such a savage beast, you do not comprehend the bonds created between sisters. She is not just my knight, but my little treasure. Have you ever tried to take a precious jewel away from a vampire?..."

radio wasn't listening. He swung his arm at a monstrous rate. Ashlei did however read this as an attack on her. She needed to act fast and simply running was not going to get her anywhere. In fact, this shark would probably spit more bullshit about her being a frightened little girl. Ashlei was not frightened. She was not a little girl. She was not the pathetic weakling Radioactive said she was. She was much more than that and soon, he would see exactly what the Queen of Hollows, the Queen of Blood, The soon to be ruler of all can possibly do. Radioactives arm shot forwards, aiming to practically bitch slap Ashlei out of the way. This was an issue as her speed may be great, but her blood may not travel fast enough. Luckily, there was a distraction. War, Flea's horse had moved into the way of the attack. This alone granted Ashlei perfect timing to make her move. Through the sudden debree of the creature, Ashlei raised her arm again, splashing blood up into the air and instantly broadening it's shape to create a shield shaped wall in front of her. It looked thin, but this was no normal blood. Radio's arm would automatically smash into this if it went through war, of which it did. His fist connected with the blood wall and this was followed by a sonic boom that shattered the area around them. If shit hadn't fallen over by now, then they were certainly destroyed now.

The blood, had caught the attack. Utilizing extremely potent cells, the punch regardless of it's force would have been absorbed into it's structure and spread evenly about it;s surface. Nonetheless, the blood did indeed shatter like glass into Ashlei's direction but quickly turned back into a liquid, splashing across the Espada's body. The hand of Radio would have penetrated this barrier, but most of the force behind it would have been absorbed. Ashlei kept her arm raised. She had no time to lower it after all, and proceeded to block the hand with her arm. Her arm was still coated in blood however, so the force was once again spread among it's surface and her body received minimal force. There was an obvious amount of damage however as Ashlei;s lips began to dribble a thin streak of red to her chin. This did not phase her however. Ashlei used this moment to move, teleporting backwards so she had some distance between her and the shark, she checked her arm to make sure it wasn't too busted. Well, it was pretty much dead at this point. It didn't hurt at all, but her finger's were not moving. She cursed under her breath before biting into her wrist, sucking her own blood.

Her body replenished it's energy, her fingers began to move again and her wounds were now perfectly healed. In fact, a sudden burst of rietsu coursed about her body as she stood there feasting on herself. Soon, she would stop and release her fangs from her veins, taking in a deep breath after circulating her pulse around her organs. It felt wonderful, a vast wave of pleasure better than anything a mere human could feel. She waited in wonder as she watched Flea move. Her instinct to protect her sister now faded as she took on a different aspect. Her bloodthirsty nature was now taking over her mind. She did not decide to take advantage whilst flea was attacking in a rage, she bode her time. Flea managed to get very close and proceeded to stab the shark in the eye. If this man was at all respectable he would have let her take the strike and keep his word. Maybe then he could stand up to his own words.

"Good job Felli.... now get out of my way..."

Ashlei didn't want Flea to get mixed up in what she was planning to do. Taking her knife, Ashlei stabbed her shoulder and dug deep down to her wrist, wincing at the pain she could not feel, but let it seep through anyway so she could devour the pleasure. She removed the knife and did it to the other arm, creating gaping holes in her arms when she had finished. Staring down radio, she was now fully aware of how tonight was going to end. The sisters were having fish for dinner. After flea had attacked, Ashlei would take initiative. instant;y, she moved behind Radio and slightly to the side Flea aimed to struck him. Hopefully she blinded the shark. From here, Ashlei's entire body coated itself in a shell of defensive blood to absorb his radiowaves. Then in a horrific display, Ashlei let out a terrific scream of pain as spikes, blades and sharp tentacles of blood erupted form her body towards radio, but only for a short distance. Enough to stab him throughout his entire body if he chose not to dodge to the sides or up. Jumping forwards, her spikes would still be long enough to reach him. Afterwards, her blood would rapidly return to her, still covering her body for defence and then sonido into the distance to gain some footing advantage. She can't stand too close to a ticking time bomb could she?
