A Snakehearted Experiment: Aftermath, Intense Training [Closed]

Amelia's eyes fluttered open. She looked up at the ceiling, slightly confused. She was laying on the floor and did not understand why. She laid there. She did not move and used this time to think back about what had happened. "Oh..." she thought as she slowly pushed herself from the floor. As she did, a sudden pain shot through her back, causing her to fall right back to the ground. She turned her head to see what was there and noticed that she had three gashes there. They looked really similar to the gashes that Shiro had received from Yang. "Shiro... I... don't understand..." she thought as she sat up again. As if on cue, the water in the air automatically came towards her and began healing the wounds on her back. She didn't remember getting them. She wondered if Yang had returned and did this while she was sleeping. She looked around, wondering where Shiro and Yin were, and wondering whether Yin was still the current personality or not. It slightly scared her to see Doctor right now, since she didn't know what his reaction towards her bringing Yang out were going to be.

Amelia forced herself from the floor and to her feet. The pain in her back was already numbing. She felt a lot better than she did yesterday. The cold seemed to be gone. It seemed all she needed was a bit of rest, if one would call what happened actual rest. Because of her feeling much better, her wounds were healing much, much faster than she was healing Shiro yesterday. She could already feel them closing. "Doctor... Hebi?" she called out for him in assumption that he was the current personality right now. "Yin?" she then called out for him, hoping that he would be the one to answer, but was till doubting it highly. She began walking towards his computer, thinking that he was probably sitting there typing like he usually was.

The eyes of the body of the Doctor blinked as he shifted, standing up straight as he looked around himself. He blinked at the gashes in Amelia's back for a few moments, before wandering over to the cloak on the ground and picking it up and putting it over his shoulders. He came back to where she was as she shifted, standing herself up. He dropped down on one foot, looking at her as she looked up at him. He blinked, noticing the marks on her back already healing.

The strange bolt was no longer through his skull; and he looked like the normal doctor once more. He noted how the marks had basically already healed as she looked up at him and spoke. "Who do you think?" He asked her, curiously. He believed she thought he was the Doctor, as indeed he was now, but it never hurt to run a test. After asking this, he rose to his feet once more, thinking to himself as Hebi snaked out from under the back of his cloak.

"It is my opinion we need to strengthen you further." The Doctor began, as he snaked his hands back under his cloak. "You seem well enough to go through with it, so today... we will be training your endurance to pain." He finished, smiling his interested smile at her as suddenly, although routine by now, the ground beneath them shuddered as the Doctor exerted his control over it. Suddenly, they were shot up once more, until at last they appeared...

In an open field, as the sun began to go down for dusk...

As her eyes met his form, she stared at him. The screw was gone. He was no longer Yang. Immediately, she felt safe. Hearing him speak to her, she tried to help herself. She stared longingly at him, as if there was something she wished for, but was to afraid to try and get. "Y-Yes..." she said softly as he mentioned strengthening her. Because of what happened the day before, there was no way in hell she was going to argue with him. She was prepared to do anything he wanted her to do. It made her slightly happy, but at the same time worried, when he did not become irritated with her for what she had done. Doctor was known for keeping his temper under control, but she still expected some sort of punishment. As the ground began to raise upwards, taking them to the surface and out of the lab once more, Amelia still could not look away from him. Her back was now completely healed and she was no longer in any pain. Knowing this, she could no longer help herself. She stepped forward towards Doctor Hebi and without any care for what he might think, she swung her arms around him, pulling herself into him as tightly as she could. Whether he understood her intentions behind this or not, she only wanted to show him she was sorry. Tears formed in her eyes, falling down towards his shoulder as she tightened her hug on him. "I'm sorry...." she said in a whisper towards his ear, "I'm so sorry... I didn't know that Yang was so bad... I thought... that... I just wanted to meet him... I'm so sorry..."

The Doctor didn't really care for hat she had done; after all, he hadn't been in the body at the time. It was extremely interesting to see what Yang woudl actually do and how he would act. The Doctor had been much more impressed with this side of Yin, as he felt as if he understood it better. It did not care for things in this world, but for its own desire. It reminded the Doctor faintly of himsel, although he knew that he was much different than that incarnation of himself.

He was pleased to hear her agreement, although it didn't particularly matter to him. He msiled just a little as he remembered how she had gotten Yang to come out; she had manipulated Yin perfectly. That more than anything else was pleasing to him, and he wondered what else he could make her do that would bring that nature out in her once again. He knew she had gotten it out originally because of her desire to see more of his forms. He left this in imnd for later, deciding it would not be prudent to act upon it now.

He looked back to her as they approached the surface, his hand reaching out as Hebi's head came to rest there. He pet his snake gently, his eyes looking at Amelia for a few moments as he thought. Finally, Hebi's head looked upward as it opened its mouth wide, and the Doctor put his hand above Hebi's outstretched mouth. Out of the mouth ascended a scroll, which the Doctor took into his hands. He opened it up, before throwing it out onto the ground. Suddenly, where the scroll was, there was now a young man... By the name of Edo Yako.

"Orders: cause pain to extent of unbearability, then recover. Repeat process until further instruction." The Doctor told the Edo-construct as it reached its hand out, a scythe appearing in its outstretched hand as it leaned its head down, laughing as it charged forwards, before seeming to vanish and appear on her other side, having attempted to cut her in half from the hip. She most likely would have been able to stop that; but the Edo wasn't so sure about the next blow he was about to perform, as he spun around, his blade coming down directly for Amelia's young neck from her left side, the blade moving towards her as he pulled it back...

Amelia watched in awe at the summoning of a young man. She reached out and poked the cheek of the young man as Hebi gave him orders. Hearing these orders, Amelia actually turned her head towards Hebi with a terrified look in her eyes. At this moment, something within her mind reacted accordingly and she didn't even seem to have to look towards the young man that was summoned. As if completely out of reflex, once the young man charged at her, she pushed herself off of her feet and back at the same time. This action caused her to 'jump' into the air, the scythe moving perfectly under her body, as she moved into a back flip and landed on her hands. Continuing the flip, she pushed herself from her hands and farther away until she landed about seven feet away from the Edo. As she landed, it seemed he was already moving in for another attack. Seeing as the scythe was now coming for her neck, instead of dodging like she usually would have, she stepped forward, into the range of the scythe so the blade could not easily get her. While doing this, she also ducked down and moved under the poll of the scythe as it was swung.

With some clever footwork, she pivoted around him, looking like a blur to those who could not follow her, and swung her leg around, aiming her knee towards the back of the Edo who had attacked her. She did not hesitate one bit to continue into her next attack either. Using the momentum from her first kick, she spun herself around and brought her other leg up as well, this one now aiming for the side of the Edo. After that attack was finished, she'd move back just enough to regain her focus on both the Edo and Hebi. She was confused to why Hebi was not fighting her himself. She figured that he would want to test her power, not have whatever this thing before her test it. Either way, she kept her eyes on the Edo, wondering what it's next plan was going to be to take her down. At this point, she was not going to say anything. She was only going to become stronger like Doctor Hebi wanted her to.

The Doctor merely watched, a satisfied look on his face as Edo Yako charged into battle against Amelia. There was not a change in the look on the young man's face as he glanced behind him, his legs pushing off the ground as he twisted his body around, catching her knee in his legs. He looked up to see her now DIRECTLY above him, spinning around on his hold on her leg. He smiled brightly at her, as if in the thrill of the hunt now, as the scythe spun around his back, the shaft catching her foot as it attempted to slam into him. He threw the leg off as he released her other leg, allowing her to get some distance between the two of them.

The Edo then charged forwards immediately, having no time to stop as he crossed his arms in front of his face. Not one, but now two of his scythes with chains were in his hands as he spun around, releasing one form his hands as he attempted to slam it into Amelia's torso. He then pulled on the chain, extending his right foot as he brought around the other long scythe to behind her neck was. He pushed off the base of his other scythe, his first scythe now behind her head as he pulled tightly on it. Even if she managed to dodge this, there was a good chance that it would cut her hair.

Edo Yako laughed as he gripped the scythe in his left hand as he pushed off, now having both of his scythes once more. He grinned wildly as he hit the ground on his hands, doing a hand stand as he threw his weight to the left, extending both legs wide as the black cloak he wore fell down on him to his waist. This revealed a scythe... bound around each one of his legs. Suddenly, they began to uncoil from his centrifugal force...

The Doctor's eyes blinked as he stealthily turned invisible, undetectable to all but the most accurate and leaped back into a tree. Things could be about to get ugly... He thought to himself, smiling as he remembered how he had equipped Edo Yako with his weapons. The man was a scythe user; even if he WAS a healer. And he was skilled, too, if one had ever cared to push him to it... as the Doctor had done.

Suddenly, the scythes were out, as the chains they were attached too went taught. Edo Yako began gyrating his legs wildly, as the scythes began to race all around the clearing they were at. Where the doctor was standing, he counted. Twelve circulations the scythes went around, all aiming at Amelia. Edo Yako's eyes, even when turning, would home in on her position as he spun, and move his legs accordingly to try to make the scythes go there. After his dozen slashes at her with these large scythes, he suddenly stopped, throwing himself to the left as he spun around in the air.

The chains rewrapped themselves around his legs, and the last of the heads of the crossed scythes at his foot levels could just be seen before the cloak descended upon them, leaving him looking as he did once more, if a bit dizzy and a huge smile on his face, as he twirled the two scythes in his hands gently, waiting for her to come to him now....

Distance was gained and so far no damage had been done to either of them. Amelia did wait for his next attack, watching him closely as yet another scythe of his appeared. One this was for sure, Amelia was not used to the power that she had. She may have had the surgery to make her stronger than she was before, but she had not once used her newly found abilities in battle. This was going to be a tedious learning experience for her, and the problem with it was that if she did not learn fast, she was going to end up getting herself killed. She only hoped that Hebi would not allow this if she found herself in a tight spot. The Edo boy moved in for another attack, throwing one of his scythes towards her torso. She simply moved to the right, allowing it to pass her by. Instead of staying still though, she continued to move because his next attack was already on it's way. The other scythe was brought behind her and was now being pulled towards the back of her neck. Amelia did not hesitate to literally drop her entire body forward towards the ground, allowing her body AND hair to get out of the way of the scythe.

Amelia knew this guy was skilled with his weapons beyond her understanding. She was actually beginning to feel the pressure. Seeing these scythes around his legs now, her eyes widened. “I... can't...” she thought to herself and did not stay to find out what those were going to do. She turned away and began to run. The look of fear in her eyes would show only part of why she was running. These scythes came out and slashed at her multiple times, forcing her to dodge from left to right, over and over again. She only counted ten slashes, having lost count when dodging. As his attack stopped, she continued running. One thing she remembered about the area that they were in, right above Hebi's lab, was that there was water... a lake somewhere and she needed to find it. If not, she would end up wasting energy that she felt she was going to need later. “Where is it....? Where is it...?” she asked herself as she continued running, looking for the one thing that would probably keep her alive.

The man smiled as he watched her trying to run. "NOW NOW! THAT'S NO GOOD!" He called out, as he threw his hands out to each side, beginning to wildly spin the deadly chained scythes. He burst out running, looking directly at her as he shot out from his place, moving with his natural high speed right along after her as he watched her beginning to approach a lake.

"AHAHA! LIKE THAT'LL HELP MUCH."

He told her, even as he began to gain on her. He threw himself into the air to his left, spinning upside down so his head faced the ground, as he chucked both chains at her. They spun out, moving at an extremely high speed from the increased rate, one on either side of her and making it very difficult to dodge. He continued his piroutte through the air, as he gripped onto both chains, hitting the ground and for just a moment pulling himself against the chains. He could literally FEEL the power behind his chains as he released himself, letting the chains flow through his hands as he flew directly towards her as she began to approach the lake...

And he appeared over it, having just performed an extremely fast X-slash at her back as she attempted to run, and he flipped himself around, landing nicely on a plate of reiatsu above the lake. "Oooooooooooo what are you going to do now?" He wondered, giggling to himself with glee through his black scelera around his eyes as he looked down at her, wondering what trick she would pull out of her bag next...

Amelia narrowed her eyes towards this Edo that was following her. He acted as if she had no skill at all. She may not have much experience in battle, but she wasn't an idiot. She knew some of the powers she had and how to use them as well. She also had this thing called 'common sense', so she used it when he decided to throw his scythes towards her. Since the two of them were going forward as the scythes were thrown, she stopped running that way and within a blink of an eye, completely changed her direction. She pushed her self backwards, causing the scythes to pass her by, while she moved into two back flips in the opposite direction. Now, because of this, this Edo was flying in front of her. She merely brought her tail around to grab onto his ankle, and tossed him away from the lake. After that, she continued to run towards the lake, knowing that it would be the one place where she would have the upper hand. Finally, she was almost there. She practically dove into the water, allowing her body to sink to the bottom. Immediately she was able to feel it. Her power had automatically increased. She didn't need to breathe down here, so this was definitely a safe place for her. Now, all she had to do was wait. She didn't think launching the first attack was going to be a smart idea, so she just waited, watching from the bottom of the lake.

Edo Yako's eyes widened in surprise as he watched the girl that he had been following fall down in under the water. He hadn't been expecting that tail of hers to grab him, but he had quickly recovered in the air in any case. He slushed spit around in his mouth for a few moments, before spitting it out into the lake. He breathed in slowly, and then out once more.

Time TO HUNT FISH IN A BARREL.

He thought to himself as he smiled wildly. His body acted without him needing to say a thing. The chains of his extra scythes loomed down as he held his chained scythes to either side of his body, all four of them. He then began doing a complex series of movements, manipulating his entire body. The four of the scythes went out full force, slashing quickly at where he thought Amelia was at. The things moved quickly as they rapidly slashed at the water, and Edo Yako managed to hit each square foot at least three times before he finished, his breath coming out in small pants as he spun his body around the other way, recoiling his form and fixing all the scythes where they belonged.

He looked down below him once more, watching and waiting for her to come up again, and give him more fun~
