The boulder had pulverised on impact, sending shards and splinters of rock and dust into the air. Zaaria pulled herself up and proceeded to tilt her head side to side, cracking her neck and clenching her hands into fists, practically showing off her thick knuckles.
"That's right... Come to mummy"

-
Aries did just that. He launched up into the air and swung downwards, aiming to cut her in half.
-
In the last split second, Zaaria thrust both her arms up in the air and grabbed onto Aries' wrists, stopping the sword swing dead in its tracks, mere centimetres from the top of her head. She began squeezing his wrists hard, to the point where Aries was forced to drop the sword. It's made a loud clang against her helmet and dropped to the floor beside her. She wasn't even phased, as if nothing had even hit her. Bringing her leg up, she performed a full frontal kick straight on Aries' chest, releasing him and sending him flying back. The kick fractured nearly all his ribs, and felt like being hit by a car. It became quickly apparent that Zaaria was considerably more physically powerful than Switch ever was.
-
Aries stood up. Any physical damage he had just sustained started to heal itself. He ran up and tackled her to the ground before unleashing a volley of fists towards her face.
-
Zaaria took the first few hits to her face, letting Aries' knuckles clang against her visor, before grabbing onto one of his fists mid-swing, like catching a baseball in flight. Using her other arm, Zaaria swung it around and whacked Aries in the side of his head with all her strength, sending him clean off her.
-
Again, Aries stood up, his wounds healing. He looked at his hand, and smiled. " This one ought to do the trick" He rushed up and landed a clean hit in her face. This one had much more power behind it. It was enough to crack her visor, and send her flying at top speed towards a rock pile.
-
Crashing straight into the rocks, a large plume of dust and grey sand shot into the air, completely shrouding Zaaria in an opaque foggy cloud that lingered, fully blocking Aries' vision to her. She spoke from within the plume. "You didn't answer my question, you know. Why ware we on the moon of all places?"
-
" You came here. I just happen to be in the neighbourhood."
-
"You brought us here, so you must have a reason. Unless... You're either super random, or you're slipping..."
-
" I didn't bring anyone here....? Maybe Insanity did do some damage to your head. You've dropped some IQ points...."
-
"Funny... Yeah, we were on Venus; I was talking to Korvic; and then you rudely interrupted us and took us here? So, why?"
-
" Alright. You caught me. I wanted to unveil something which I think is quite special." Three Hive warships appeared into orbit. There was a massive chain linking all three. In the middle, was a huge orb, that looked like the Oversoul in Crota's realm. " That there is my pride and joy. I'm not going to tell you what it is, but I can say that on the battlefield, it is pretty nasty."
-
"Huh... So what does it do?"
-
" Uh huh.... I think you took some serious brain damage... Whatever.... It doesn't matter." The Hive ships soon disappeared through a portal. Aries started to walk away.

Though it wasn't clear, Zaaria didn't appear to be within the plume anymore, yet her voice still spoke from that direction. "Oh go on, tell me... I promised I won't tell anyone, if that makes you feel better"
-
" Then I'd have to kill you. And I'm already late as it is."
-
"Oh yeah, and one more question before you depart: why bother showing me that... Thing? You transported me here to show it to me, basically. So what were you hoping to achieve by doing that? Trying to scare us off by showing off your arsenal? Trying to intimidate us? Is that it, that all you have? Don't you realise how much of a blow it could be to you if the city was warned of such a weapon? Say... If I escaped here, perhaps?" Zaaria's voice had returned to its mocking undertone.
-
" You do realise that you have no idea of the nature of this weapon. Or if it's a weapon at all! It could just be a massive ploy on my part. Maybe I'm feeding misinformation to you. Maybe it is a real weapon. You wouldn't know."
-
"I'm sorry what was that? You're breaking up a bit. Just stand a bit closer to the comm unit and then I can hear you more clearly"
-
Aries shook his head annoyingly. He opened up a portal about five feet up in the air right next to him. What tumbled out was Zaaria. " Are you done playing Hide and Seek?"
-
Edited by Moot: 12/16/2015 4:53:36 AMInstead of Zaaria falling out however, a small comm unit similar to a radio fell out the portal and dropped to the ground beside Aries. Zaaria's taunting voice could be heard from it. "Ah, that's much better! I can hear you perfectly now. Wow, I wasnt actually expecting you to come closer, but OK. And no, I'm not done hiding, if you were wondering" The cloud of dust had fully dissipated. Zaaria had disappeared.
-
(( This bitch is infuriating.... )) Aries stepped on the comlink, crushing it. He sat down with his legs crossed and closed his eyes. " It doesn't really matter if you can hear me or not, but here is your chance to either run away or attack."
-
((Because that's how this bitch rolls)) On board her ship, Zaaria was tending to her cracked visor while her ghost, Serene, was performing a checkup on her. [i]That was a lot of darkness you were exposed to, you know. You should have gotten out of there sooner, far away from that monster. I'm not sure if this exposure will cause any permanent damage or not[/i] "I feel fine, Serene. At least now I do" [i]I know what you mean. Down there, you were borderline joking about with him and having a laugh. You never joke about, period...[/i] "I know, I know. I'm not sure what it was, but I just started to feel more loose with myself the moment he appeared, like I was almost loosing my mind around him and becoming more loopy..." [i]Well, I'm happy to say that you're back you your charmless cold and calculating self again![/i] "Good. Better that way... God I was almost taking like Jaden down there" [i]Oh shut up, he's not as bad as you think he is. I mean, he taught you that trick with the comm unit and the plume of dust after all...[/i] "True. Aries sure does love to run his mouth, so while I was obstructed from sight, I stuck the unit there on the ground and got outta there while he had his back turned, while showing off some thing he was clearly proud of. [i]what do you think it was? Real? A ploy, like he said[/i] "Could be either for all we know. Personally, it seems a bit too big to be a ploy. Anyway, we should get back to Mercury. Got some old friends to revisit" [i]already en route, Zaaria. And don't worry about that helmet, I'll fix it later for you[/i] "Thank you, Serene"
-
Aries chuckled. " Leaving already?" Zaaria's ship stopped in the air, just drifting. Aries appeared in the cockpit. " Pretty annoying trick of yours. Too bad though. I would kill you, but I have an idea that you could help me with. And you're not going to like it..."
-
"Uh, I'm too old for this shit. Just as I was feeling better" She stood up from the pilot seat and faced Aries, while Serene dematerialised. "So. What's this idea I won't like?"
-
" Well. I just got a new ally, and I want to see him in combat, so in order to do that, I'd need to start a fight. This is where you come in. I'm going to capture you, possibly torture, depending on my mood. That'll lure Switch and his friend. Once that happens, a fight'll break out."
