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

Ashlei's attack had gone almost unnoticed as Radio blasted a wave of energy in her direction from behind. This was not going to end well but what Radioactive was forgetting, was just how versatile and special Ashlei's own blood was. She had placed enough of the blood in front of her to quite literally, ride the energy wave backwards. Using this blood as a cushion between her and the wave, she blasted off skyward to dodge the attack only a second after it had struck her blood. The blood she had used to do that however was now gone, absorbing what it could and weakning his attack but not by enough to stop it. Ashlei hovered in the air with her wings flapping and her body shaking from the lack of blood. She needed to refill her body and this was not going to happen if she just stayed here. Drinking her own blood again won't work every time. Looking around, Ashlei spotted something in the distance. Something was moving closer, maybe something she could use. For now though, she could only do this much.

Ashlei reached under her dress to a strap on her left leg. yanking off a small vial, she crushed it in her hand and proceeded to lick up the red liquid inside. this, was concentrated blod she had stored from her own body in times of need. it wasn't enough to keep her alive, but enough to allow her some time to float there. Ashlei's attention however rapidly changed as she heard the screams of her younger sister being thrown across the decimated forest. her eyes widened to watch the little girl be flung and battered by the shark. This, fuelled her rage but her body was at loss for blood. if this was somebody else, she would have caused enough damage to drink theirs but radio was tediously different. She could only watch, protecting herself from the shark as her little sister was beaten. but this did not last long. A blast of red energy erupted from the little girl, throwing Ashlei back so she had to fight her own body to keep herself airbourne. Looking back down, Flea had changed.

"wh...what...is this?"

Ashlei had not known of this form. What had Flea done? She couldn't hear the girl from up there, but something Flea had kept a secret just exploded around her. This was bad. However, an opportunity arose when the sounds of helicopters reached Ashlei's ears. She turned to see one coming rather close, and took advantage of it. Holding up her right arm, she pulled down a tattered sleeve to reveal something strapped to it. Ashlei had always been full of surprised and this time, it was a new toy. A click could be heard as the wooden frame unfolded from her wrist showing the signs of a wrist mounted Crossbow. Taking what looked like a red tipped bolt from her other arm, she proceeded to arm the crossbow. usually she would be doing this faster than you could blink, but she was losing energy fast. It's lucky her blade didn't cut those parts of her arm otherwise she might have had to do something risky. Pointing her arm above the helicopter, she fired the bolt. It travelled some distance before dipping, and aiming for the window. As it got close however, the olt seemed to detopnate, spewing blood from the red tip. This was in fact, a vial of blood on the end of a bolt. the bloodm coursed through the air and penetrated the helicopter before Flea could reach it. Ashlei moved the blood around, smashing one man in the face and hurling him out of the windiow.

Using sonido, Ashlei managed to hurl herslef underneath the man as he fell, taking him down to ground level and out of sight. Down here, she hid from radio and Flea, suppressing her energies and feasting on this man as he attempted to scream out to his comrades. it was no use as the helicopter fell from the sky. She dug deep into the mans kin, drinking as much as she could. Taking her nails, she literally dug into his flesh and began pulling him apart, organs, bone and everything was being tossed into the air so she could get to all of the blood. This man was going to be run dry and Ashlei, was tom be completely healed once more. This was how she worked. her body began to rapidly rejuvenate as she tore the man apart rendering him unrecognisable. A few moments passed, and she had finished with what was now a skeleton covered in a fleshy mess. Ashlei then began to walk in the direction of what could only be an explosion, and stepped out of cover, watching what was happening between the other two.

"I suppose I can't do anything here..."

She began to say as she realised that Flea had pretty much dragged the sky on top of Radioactive. there were no openings for Ashlei at this point as the shark was coated in a wave of black metal, all bound to explode on impact. Ashlei watched, smiling slightly at her sisters power, but also worried that something bad was going to happen again and was ready to move if need be. It would also be wise to notice, Ashlei now looked completely unharmed. Well, her clothes make it look like she had a wrestle with a bear though...

[Chi has requested her turn be skipped]

Ashlei watched the events unfold like a bystander to a baseball game. In all honesty, the things happening around her were not really exciting her anymore. True she was angry she was insulted and that her sister was brutally injured, but at the same time she found a safe comfort within it all. Radioactive wasn't just going to kill Flea right there and then. Something about the way he was acting made him seem like he wasn't planning on finishing anyone off today. That was good, but also a little disappointing. Ashlei wouldn't show anything more than she already had to the shark so his guesses at what she was capable of were completely different to the truth. It was a little sickening the way his voice carried amateur detail to what she was really up to.

Nevertheless, Ashlei simply watched as her sister attempted to take on this monster. Ashlei was prepared to rescue her if needed, but it didn't look like it was necessary. So quite content, she watched. Flea dragged the helicopters down from the sky, killing several people in a fiery explosion mixed with the the fang of the shark, devastating the entire structure of the machines to dust. This entire fight method was starting to look the same. get angry and explode? Wouldn't a simple sonido fix that situation? Well not everybody has a brain so we can't count on the stupid to know the easiest ways out of things. Ashlei folded her arms and wathced sternly at the small battle taking place in front of her. Flea was actually pulling off some sneaky abilities she had never shown Ashlei which was actually somewhat interesting to see. Attention on Radio quickly simmered as the blast was deflected, shot into the sky, parting clouds and beaming sunlight or something like that. Apparently the floor was wet and it was brighter. It just shows how much attention Ashlei gave to her surroundings. She just knew they were tussling again

Throughout this fight however, the several explosions that occurred around Ashlei did not cause her to run or move. In fact she quite happily stood there and brushed her hair with her hand, almost out of boredom while her clothing fluttered violently. Flea was unexpectedly holding her ground and almost like a parent picking up their child from school, she waited for her sister to finish playing. However it was radio that decided to put an end to the game. He devastated a lot of the area but none of it was enough to force Ashlei to move backwards from where she was currently standing. She felt it of course, who wouldn't? he was the renown nuclear shark but because he wasn't trying to hit the Cero Espada, she had little to worry about. After the dust had settled and Radio began his speech, Ashlei began to walk closer.

Ashlei walked up to Flea, resting her hand on the little girls head as she cooled down. She did however, ignore absolutely every word Radio said from that point on. Why? Well nothing he had to say meant anything to her really. the bloody Queen held Flea close, feeling the little girls deep breathes on her chest almost as if this was Ashlei's way of praising her little sister. Once Radio finished his little speech and turned away, Ashlei began to address the shark.

"Finally, you've stopped that verbal Diarrhea. You can boast, talk and say whatever you wish, what really matters is the final result."

Ashleu ckuckled at the idea of her next few words. She knew somebody would be agitated by it and so she began to open a Gargantua beneath herself and Flea so they could fall right through and shut it rapidly. As she did this though, she spoke to Radio again of whom was probably ignroing her.

"Honestly Shark, your nothing special..."

She chuckled again, then fell down into the Gargantua with Flea in her arms.

"Toodles..."
