"ROSE!"
[i]Niki's scream rang throughout the air, as the battlefield had begun to grow darker than before. The colossal monster of rock had then looked up at the darkening skies, before the plasma began to shred it's shell, the beast then crashing against the wall and using it as cover against Athena.[/i]
English
-
"NIKI!" It was all she could scream ,as she followed Niki's voice, doing as best she could to track it down. // Athena kept the pressure on it, not even knowing what it was, but kept it pinned either way.
-
[i]As Rose came closer and closer, Niki's scream would merely resonate; as if repeated, over and over..[/i] "ROSE!" [i]As she drew closer, Rose felt the battle.. being drowned out almost. It was.. something dark. Something was wrong.[/i] ------------------------------- [i]The beast would take it's chance, slashing at Athena and destroying the wall.[/i]
-
Rose was panicking, looking around constantly, not even knowing what to do at this point "NIKI?! WHERE ARE YOU?!" she had to yell it, unable to contain herself. /// Athena kept firing at it, backing up as she did so, melting its surface.
-
"[i]I-I can't..[/i] [i]I can't-![/i]" [i]Niki's voice would drift away, almost, as Rose would be enveloped into darkness. She would be traversed, almost, to an alleyway. Alpha was there.. frozen, but there. Everything was there.[/i] [i]Something was very wrong, but.. it would be best to explore. For now.[/i]
-
Rose was panicking, barely holding herself together at the moment as she was trying not to break down. Shaking a bit, he hand was rattling her spear, as she looked around the area. Where was Niki? What was going on? "Niki...?"
-
"[i]Niki is gone. There is.. only the abyss and I, now.[/i]" [i]A response.[/i] [i]From the shadows, would descend a cloaked figure, her feminine posture hidden away by burnt shawl and tattered robe, and in result creating a hidden being. There was something.. wrong.[/i] "[i]...You can leave, yet. Turn away. But do not return.[/i]" [i]The ghastly thing stood there, it's siren voice speaking smooth and soft. It spoke a warning, almost, as the alleyway would begin to churn and shift for Rose.[/i]
-
Rose was going hysterical now, screaming. "WHERE IS MY NIKI!?" She screamed, pointing to herself. She was on he verge of tears.
-
"[i]She is not yours to take, nor Trayven's, nor Tribune. Let her go, child. Let her pursue her fate.[/i]" [i]The being had spoken, though she had taken to quickly hiding her hand within the coat of her jacket, only to retrieve a spectral longsword. She would fight.. if necessary.[/i]
-
Wet lines trailed down Rose's face then. She was helpless, helpless against whatever the being was. Yet, she was young, naive. And love hurt. "Where is she?! How am I supposed to know she's going to come back, how will I know I'll see her again?!" She was choking down her emotions now, trying not to lose herself to the beING.
-
"[i]Let. Her. Go.[/i]" [i]That was all the robed thing would utter, as it then began to approach Rose's being. It's footsteps were the only noise, now, other than Rose's own breaths and her words that left her lips. The being was trying to reduce her to running.[/i]
-
Rose wanted answers however, the woman was stubborn. "Why?! I want to know why she's gone, if I'll see her again. And who you are?!" She was slowly losing it now, the threat of whatever the being was wasn't helping.
-
"[i]That is none of your concern, girl. A greater power, beyond you and I, is at work! Leave, else you suffer a worse fate than what shall be wrought.[/i]" [i]A greater power.. a worse fate.. those words kept ringing within Rose's ears, as if intentionally. Yet not to drive her mad. Peace began to overtake her, as if another outside force was seemingly interfering.[/i] [i]Character jacking, really. But it is a legit thing.[/i] [i]Soon, the cloaked woman would realize this, as the ringing stopped. She would then begin to approach Rose..[/i]
-
Rose was confused beyond reason, as she felt her heart thudding in her chest, unable to even move out of a confused fear and peace. What in the hell was going on? She watched the woman, trying to say something again, but found herself locked up as invading forces where upon her mind. One question rang in her head now; What to do?
-
[i]Rose had an idea of what to do when the woman swung.[/i] [i]The woman would rear back, before then swinging towards Rose, her spectral blade aimed for the young woman's neck as if intending to decapitate her in a single blow.[/i]
-
Rose shot her shield up, making the sword glance off its round surface, sparks flying then as Rose slammed her spear forward at the woman. It wouldn't be that easy.
-
[i]The woman's free hand would drop down, her palm wavering over the spearhead before she would grab the shaft, stopping the thrust in place. The woman would simply push the spear back, and in turn pushing Rose back a little, as she would assume a more combative stance for an approach.[/i]
-
Instead, the rifle shot forward, a round glancing off the concrete as she used the shield then as a weapon, slamming the edge towards the woman, and pulling back finally. She raised the shield, spear held behind her.
-
[i]The edge would slam into the woman's chin, forcing her back as a spurt of blackish blood would escape the new wound. The woman would groan, before she would then move forwards, purposefully closing the distance between the two.[/i]
-
Rose threw the shield then, the thing bouncing off a wall, then another, as she then threw a throwing star, which slammed into a wall next to the woman, and exploded in a gravity well, sucking the being with it. Rose flipped her spear to a rifle, firing off shots now.
-
[i]The being's hand would shoot out, grabbing onto the rim of the shield as more blackish blood escaped her, this time leaving her cut palm. She threw the thing into the vortex, seemingly unaffected by the spiraling void of gravity, as she then rushed into the bare cover of a separate alleyway as Rose began to fire yet.[/i] [i]Likely a trap, and one that Rose could either walk into or escape.[/i]
-
The field ended after a bit, as Rose pulled her shield back as if by magic. Rifle raised, she backed up now, not wanting to keep going. She was already having a break down, and fighting was a distraction, but she had enough bloodshed today. All she wanted was Niki.
-
[i]The shifting reality would change back, soon enough, as the tragic sounds of battle were heard throughout the scene. Rose could hear the Trayvens as they stormed the city, continuing the battle beyond the wall.[/i] [i]It was as if they had won. Reporting back to Freya, wherever she was, would be for the best. Isabella too, if she wanted to take that chance.[/i]
-
She had too, as she stalked back to the command post of the Trayvens, sheathing her gear for now, a distant look on her face.
-
"I think one's coming our way.. Nope. Just my sister's girlfriend, never met her on my own.." [i]Isabella would murmur to Amanda, as she waved Rose to come over.[/i] "Siege is basically over, we demolished them. I thought you and Niki were staying together, though?" [i]There was something in the tall woman's voice, though. An acknowledgement, as if she knew what she was going to hear from Rose's mouth, but wanted to deny it beyond everything.[/i]
-
Amanda stood by and watched, not her place to intervene and she knew it. Rose however, gave Isabella a hollow look, doing nothing but confirming what Bella already knew. The girl looked to be ready to cry at the moment, although she seemed too distant.
