The Watchman, Fallen Angel (Madness City Event Open)

Song: Mass Rapture - Artist: Diablo Swing Orchestra - Word Count: 4027]

Things were finally beginning to pick on the dance floor. Bullets were flying, blood was spraying, explosions spewing and the night became so lively that it could even wake up the dead. It all brought nothing but ever present smile upon Mana's lips because this is what she lived for: the thrill of living through the hells of war, fighting her way towards the top of the game and doing it all with a manic grin across her face. So, licking each of her lips in ecstasy, Mana prepared her next step as she went forward with her solo assault on Madness City. With the city steadily becoming engulfed in her darkness, Mana used her eyes in the sky, ground and air in order to pin-point right where he next target would be. "Oh, so he is gonna enter the fray? Goodie, goodie!" Snickering a bit, Mana braced herself for whatever Toki Iramasha had to offer, but not before saying this: "Darling, darling; you need more OOMPH, Swwwinnngggg and PAZAH in order to get me on my knees from an attack like that!" Laughed Mana, not in a mocking tone, but in a genuine sense of pleasure she was experiencing from this fight. "You all are just too much!"

"But enough chit-chat!" Eyes now on Toki, it was time to begin the first dashing assault amongst this rag-tag team of do-gooders. Antipicating his straight forward attack, Mana decided to hold her ground and simply let her body do the moving n' swinging in waltz. And so, with her hips a swingin' a fierce tune, Mana started to control the shadow's around them. Upon her command, the instant the nice little Chaos Blast was shot? Hohoho, it was blocked from it's original path by a dense wall of Shadow's that easily shielded her attack on Colin based on the fact her power clearly outmatched Toki's. "No, no, no Hunny Bunny!" Wagging her fingers, The Queen then decided to have the Shadow's create a makeshift wormhole within the shield for the explosive ball of energy to travel through. Where it came out next? Right behind Mana!

"Ooooooooo, baby!" Shouted Mana in a yell of bless as she proceeded to have the Chaos Blast enter straight through her back. You see, when the blast had entered her wormhole, it was then placed under Queen Mana's influence. By overpowering the attack and injecting it with her own Shadow's, she was then able to allow it to become one with herself and augment her strength to sustain her destructive habits on the battlefield. "Thank you for the meal!" Without a single care in the world, Mana had a brilliant smile once again appear on her face while clapping in applause at Toki; even with him directly attacking her. "Also, don't bring toys to a big girl party, silly!" Giggling with great glee now at Toki's follow up assault, The Queen placed her right hand directly in front of the hellstorm of bullets heading towards her direction in order to command a seemingly endless supply of energy that resonated within herself to effect the world around her.

"Here, let me put them away for you. After all, tricks are for kids!" Once those words exited her mouth, dear Mana would then have her power influence the area around them in order to hold the bullets in place by her energy attempting to halt them where they stood. If this technique worked, then Mana would casually skip up to each bullet and playfully pluck them one by one with her right hand; until she had a handful of bullets in the palm of her hand. "Looks tasty!" Then, after uttering that comment, Mana would lick her lips and hopefully eat a mouthful of bullets as if they were nothing but your average breakfast cereal. And, on that note, she'd then appear to have a very stern face she looked Toki directly in the eye. "Oh? You must warn me you say? Well I outta' tell ya about how tough I am!" Placing hands on her hips, spreading her legs outwards and gulping down the last of Toki's bullets; Mana would scowl like no other person before her. "I'm so tough, I just ate a bowl full of bullets...." Going in for the kill, she'd then have her eyes darken for the final line, "....without ANY milk!"

Now laughing like a raving maniac, Mana couldn't stand to be that serious for more then two seconds, but it was worth it for the final joke if he got the reference. "Anyway deary, it's time for you to get off the dancing stage now! Bye, bye!" With great speed, Mana then proceeded to make sure that Toki wouldn't be a bother to her for the duration of the fight; at least, if she had anything to say about it. In a matter of milliseconds after her final dialogue with Toki, from the Earth beneath him, Mana went on to create a massive Portal underground. And what was going to come out of this thing? Nothing but shadow's, of course! These shadow's would blare out of the ground and attempt to consume Toki whole in a speed that would even make Colin have to brace up if it were aimed at him. As for it's effects? Well, let's just say they are on the highly destructive side for someone of Toki's level going up against a direct assault against The Queen of Demon's.

Should he be directly effected by this attack in any way, shape or form? The first adversities that would pop up would be the extensive damage alone. From the energy that Mana took from his assault, to the injection of her shadow's; she had a fair amount of power behind that blast to cause severe damage upon Toki's body. Things like crushed organs, broken bones and internal bleeding could be caused by the sheer pressure alone this attack generated; which could ultimately even produce a near fatal injury if it were to even implode things such as his stomach, lungs, arteries, skull and even his brain. Not to mention the extensive third to fourth degree burns that, even with magic, would be extremely hard to recover or heal from. In fact, every single damage inflicted upon Toki with this attack would be extremely hard to recover from in terms of healing from. It would be so intense, that even his spiritual reserves and energy would be effeceted by this and would make it extremely hard for him to utilize his attacks throughout the duration of this battle.

"Scream, moan and give a good thrash about before the final curtain call!" Spoke Mana with a slight laugh; snapping her fingers and having the attack go in for the final release. Now, instead of exploding, this blast would collapse inward into Toki. This would amply the effects from earlier, begin to destroy parts of his life energy to critically weaken his attack power and attempt to open a long series of massive wounds throughout nearly every single square inch of his body to make him bled out to death while releasing tons of his body's energy to essentially KO him. And, to ensure that Toki would not have any second thoughts about running if he were to perceive this attack, or if one of his little buddies decided to assist him, Mana had her energy morph into a source of dense magic to place a shield around wherever Toki and her attack would be.

This shield would be highly resistant against most attacks, as Mana's energy is not something to easily bypass. What's more, this shield would also hopefully reduce the chance of anyone entering or leaving once it was hopefully placed around Toki; as it was meant to also enclose him within it as the attack finished. However, if things didn't go as plan, it would also be worth noting that Mana used her energy a few moments prior to unleashing that attack to place an Anti-Teleporation field within the air to prevent any sudden movements. This was based on the fact that judging from what Mana could feel from this guy's spiritual energy, he was infact an Iramasha. And she knows the Iramasha are infamous for their Chaos Warp. So to prevent any sort of instant dodge, Mana knew she had to put this in place to increase her chances of this attack working on him.

Taking a soft sigh, hopefully he would be dealt with. If not, she'd simply create another similar Shadow Blast to appear around Toki until something finally landed a hit on him. After all, with the Shadow's being an external source of energy for Mana, it only drained her energy to command it and augment it's strength; not to release a good bulk of the explosive attack. "Bon viage." And with that, she'd then turn her attention towards the battlefield around her. 'Huh...the bodies are really piling up here.' Noticing that these brave men were just dicing, slicing and chopping up all the poor hollow's who entered this area; a grin came across Mana's face as she felt herself steadily starting to become stronger and stronger. "This all feels too good, hot damn..." Uttered Mana while biting her lip in a fit of delight. You see, in a war field like this? Haha, you'd be pretty bold as to face her here. Why? Well this is because she has an effect from her mastery in the art of Death Energy that allows her body to become even more energized then usual based on the sight of mass slaughter occurring around her.

And so, with all the casualties each party that arrived on the scene had created? Mana was able to use this technique called "Snacking From The Dead" in order to become stronger by the strong scent of death surrounding the area. Thus, with the truly dazzling efforts of all the men, she was even able to siphon what little energy these bodies had remaining IN THEM to place her energy reserves even higher then they were when she consumed Toki's attack! When Mana first entered this little showdown? She was at one hundred percent fighting efficiency. Now, with each second that has passed since these killings had ramped up? It's easy to say that she is coasting around one hundred thirty to one hundred fifty percent fighting efficiency. Which resulted in Mana just constantly letting out moans, groans and shouts of pure bliss from the additional amounts of energy that her body had collected. In fact, this effect had been so intense because of their killings, she was even able to retain abilities, memories and fighting style from some of the masses these big, strong men had killed for the duration of the thread.

"Now for Sir Dodo Brain the Second." Spoke Mana as, through her Shadow's, she was able to witness what occurred with her "test" attack against Colin Washi. Once she was able to realize how this man moved, a sinister smirk appeared across her lips as she knew just how to deal with this over-sized bird. Instead of going forward with her previous attack, Mana decided to have what remaining energy her Shadow Blast had come back to her in order to refuel herself even more. So, on top of the enhancement from Toki's Chaos Blast, the bullet she consumed from his gun and the Snacking From The Dead Technique; her power was swelling Mana's fighting efficiency back up to around one hundred seventy percent. This also meant that the Queen had oodles of energy to spare. Thus, on that note, she would then begin to alter her own body in order to become adjusted with fighting against Colin's devastating speed that he presented when dealing with her earlier attacks that she had tested his strength against.

Now, there wasn't a single doubt in Mana's mind that by this display of speed that he was clearly faster then her. While she may hold a pretty high amount of mastered speed herself, from the way she watched Colin's movements, there was something a bit more to his movement then meets the eye. And so, baring this information mind, she would have to act accordingly in order to deal with this pesky speedster. 'While he may have a bit more pip in his step then I do, what good will it do if none of his striking force can even phase me? Oh well, suppose I better shake things up a bit on the dance floor.' Shaking her head a bit while thinking quietly to herself, Mana proceeded to make the needed adjustments to her body in order to be a more versatile combatant against Colin.

The first alterations to herself? Perception. In order to fight someone this fast, you'd better have a damn good reaction time, a great sense of your surroundings and able to increase or decrease your perception of time in order to have a shot at taking them down. This would allow her to his attacks, movements, vibrations, sounds and even so much as his breath at a appreciative speed that would allow her body to react accordingly. The next step would be to call upon the source energy that was ever so abundant within herself in order to dramatically augment her attack speed. While she may not be able to move at his speed all the time, she is going to ensure her offensive strikes will move at the same amount of velocity as Colin does. Thirdly, she would then need to augment her own body's speed by using up any left over Shadow Energy within the area to keep up with him when he decided to pick up the pace.

Getting that matter settled, she could then keep up with Colin's movements as he moved throughout the shadow's with relative ease. 'So he is gonna try a frontal attack? How...interesting!' Smiling, Mana decided not to move a single fiber of her being as she awaited to see what the Co-Head of the Vizard Corps would do first. Keeping up with each movement he made as he danced throughout her shadow's, Mana could only laugh as she awaited what would come next. She saw it! She saw everything! "Uh-oh, looks like I better keep my...HEAD...in the game!" Even in a critical time such as time, Mana still found time to portray her odd sense of humor as she placed a terrible pun on what was about to happen to herself. Thus, as her head was ax'd to hell and back, that pretty little face of hers still cracked a wild smile that would send shivers down the most experienced solider of war. "I always knew I was HEAD strong, but this is getting to be too much, Colin-Kun!"

Then, in a massive explosion from Colin's cero, Mana's head had suffered a direct hit as she appeared to simply laugh it off with that witch-like cackle of hers. Rolling on the ground with smoke appearing from her face, there had seemed to be a bit of damage done to her head, but it was otherwise in tact as it rolled down the street. "Yanno, even when I'm on the ground like this, I still think you could take lessons from me and learn better ways to get AHEAD in life!" People near by gawked at how Mana still found the time to lecture Colin despite having her head ripped clean apart from her shoulders, a cero shot at it and sent a ways down the road. "Anyyyways, now that I let you have your fun, now it's time for me to have a bit of my own, don't you think?" Pouted Mana as she mad a "kissy" like face with her lips.

"Let's get a move on!" In a matter of two seconds, it appeared that Mana was going to recover from this without even bating a single eyelash. In the first second, thanks to High-Speed Regeneration taken from the Hollow's whom were slain on the battlefield, her own reformation capacities and with her energy being insanely augmented; Mana was able to have her head reform an entirely new body like clockwork. It came complete with what Mana was wearing, the same health as before and even looked just as she was before Colin had made his assault on. Then, in the next second? The headless Mana that Colin had failed to destroyed? Yeah, that thing had reformed an entirely new head as well and it seemed as if there were two Mana's on the battlefield as they looked around with a sly smile. "Oi, bird boy!" The pair of dual Queen's shouted, "It appears the only thing you managed to do was multiply the amount of me's on the field!" Smiling and waving at everyone the field, each of the Mana's clapped their hands for each other and began jumping for glee. "Yay me!"

"And boo for you!" Paying no mind to his cheap illusion tricks, the Mana down the road pointed her finger at the cero blast and simply sucked it into a similar wormhole as she did with Toki's earlier Chaos Blast. Putting it through the same process, Mana would hopefully take full control over the cero, have it shoot into the back of the Mana who had it's head cut off and then inject it into her body to make her even stronger then before and to recover a bit from the energy it needed to reform each of them; making them still around one hundred six five to one hundred sixty nine percent fighting efficiency. "With us still standing, you sweating bullets and this city divulging further into madness; I really don't think your march across death's waters did anything to stop me." Each of the Mana's looked at each other, despite the distance they were apart, shrugged and made a sad face. "Poor Bird Boy."They each said before going back to work on putting the work into defeating Colin and obtaining their goal.

"Back to kicking his feather butt!" And with that, both Mana's snapped their fingers as the Mana who had her head executed seemed to disappeared. Meanwhile, the Mana that was still here had began to use her infamous Demon Magic once again. This time, with the help of her energy again, she would cover the entire battle area a "Delayed Movement Field". What this field was meant to do was simple: it was supposed to heavily constrict the speed in which most people could move, summon energy, react and even think or perceive things; save for Mana herself or those she choose to make immune from. From the amount of resources Mana had pooled for herself, it was even possible for her to keep this field up for a good two to three post; which was more then enough time for her to go to town on Colin. And, the worse part? This field was synced with Mana's spiritual energy; so it would not be so easily dispelled, destroyed or otherwise tampered with by outside sources.

"Mix it up, shake it in; let's get some stirring goin'!" Curling her right hand into a fist this time, she would then apply a form of magic known as "Gravity Magic" in order to influence the very Earth around Colin in order to hopefully drop him from the sky with such heavy pressure, that upon contact with the ground, everything within a one hundred meter radius would be obliterated upon sight. However, she wasn't aiming to create massive destruction with this attack as shown by how much impact it could have done instead. In fact, if one had enough spiritual sense, they would even realize, if Mana didn't focus this on Colin's body, it would have enough explosive to destroy half of madness city of left unleashed. But no, instead, she wanted all this damage to be pin-pointed on Colin Washi's body on a physical and metaphysical level in order to inflict some kind of damage upon him for the act of attempting to take the Queen's Lovely head from upon her shoulders with his attack earlier.

First off, on a physical level, there was the aim of causing devastating damage to his body in the form of crushed bones that could even be reduced to dust internally form the pressure, ruptured organs that could result in decimating blows to his organs and from the shock wave alone there may be issues with hearing, balance and hundreds of wounds opening across many parts of his body from the sheer strength of this attack. What's more, on a metaphysical level, this attack was meant to "shock" Colin's Soul Chain and essentially cause temporary damage to it during the duration ten post of this thread in order to prevent him from being able to release into Shikai or Hollow, weakening his powers dramatically by damaging his Soul Chain, making it extremely difficult to utilize the paths of energy in his body and even causing difficulties for his Inner Hollow if he were to take over. If all turned out well, this would hopefully result in extremely reduced speed, a fatigued Colin and more ways to attack him in this critical state.

"Now for some ass fuckin', sugah!" With that said, Mana then smiled devilishly as she pointed her finger outwards towards Colin; having nearly twenty tentacles explode from her back as she shuddered in utter euphoria from all this. "Pierce 'em good!" Commands being given mentally, the tentacles then took off at a rate of speed that would even given the regular Colin difficulties trying to stay away from it; moving so fast that it produced a destructive force of back fire that would destroy most types of people, objects or eternal elements that are not related to Mana's actions which happened to be behind her with lack of difficulty on Mana's part. "Ohohohoho, give him something to whine about, girls!" Quivering a bit from that, the tentacles then proceeded to expand and multiplied into roughly one hundred tentacles as they all came crushing down upon Colin.

Tentacle assault underway, some of these limey things would attempt to rip off Colin's limbs to decrease his speed, others would constrict around his neck in order to cut off his breathing to make him black out or die and a few even attempted to force themselves down his mouth in order to begin tearing apart of his insides. From infecting his blood stream with poison on a spiritual level to cripple his body, to attempting damage all sorts of bones or organs; and even effecting his ability to see by trying to tamper with eye sockets. "Isn't this a SHOCKING turn of events?" Beginning to blush a bit with lust, Mana would then send the vibrations of her own soul into her tentacles in the shape of a burst of intense black electricity that was meant to add additional damage to Colin by firing his nerves to make his body no respond to his commands, create third degree burns across his body and pile up the damage on his body by sending him into a world of pain.

"I'm sorry, I can be quite an ASS!" And with that, the inevitable would come, she would make an attempt to pierce Colin's buttox a single tentacle in order to begin "penetrating" him. Over and over and over again; she would try to force this nasty thing inside of him and rob him of any sort dignity he may have had before as she laughed with glee. "This battle, ah, it's too much!" Giggling at this point, she then had five more tentacles join the fray and go all out on Colin's bottom. At this point, it wouldn't really be a fight on Mana's end as she seemed to be enjoying herself a bit too much. "Feel free to join in whenever you want, by the way." Smiling, Mana then turned her attention back towards Daigoro Ito as she waved at him and giggled. "Sir Fruit!"
