Sometime It Rains Blood x2

[💀]

??/40

The answer was vague but with enough of an 'answer' to get the point across ad Hecate could only close her eyes and shake her head. "Shameful is what it is I suppose BUT the milk is already spilled." This living contradiction writhed and grew, light and organic blade. So natural. It lashed and with Loki behind it's chain she was more than sure it's leave more than a pinprick should that hit. It wasn't a problem.

So caught up in watch Loki the blade lopped a health score of flesh out of her arm and leg, her thigh before she made a short grunt of the noise in acknowledgement, the muscle already trying to reform, a very deep and gnawing gash that cut right to the bone easily. The rest she watched her wrist motions and danced lazily with it, a step and twist, a pivot and step. To move with the motion and be right upon where she needed to be.

The shadow of the blade walked across her ivory skin but standing this close to death was her occupation. She mirrored the rhythm, refused to be wrapped up in such a simple cadence and flow already after she'd so easily let herself be caught last time. "I wonder sometimes when I'm being tested and when the test is over." Till the world was quiet. The flicker of the chains she transverses like hopscotch; A ghost of a shadow rolling across the ground to mimic the movements of this creature. It was cut or burn or dissect but she reached out to touch it, to just run her fingers across the blades in passing like it were just a toy up in a display on a shelf.

All to work on getting in close. The style was very abrasive like that.

She didn't know when the test was over? That was the problem with being a zealot. Everything that didn't go their way it was a test. When things didn't make sense it was a test. When they were just blatantly wrong, it was a test of faith. The tests would never end because their eyes could not see nuance.

"With the path you have chosen to walk. The tests will never end." That was just a fact, and one Loki found sad. She watched as Hecate made her way through the barrage of whip slashes, having chucks of flesh craved off in the process. The blood began to spurt into the air and began to mix with the falling rain. This was only the beginning, Loki expected things to get much more bloody as things continued on. As Hcate got in closer, Nex and Loki bonds grew as well. The power of the their souls where starting the to mix to together smoother than before.

Maintaining the current form of the Witch Hunt Slash, was a simple matter to them now. With this they should be able to attempt more advanced versions of this technique. However, before they would attempt that, it would be best for the manage some of the more basic actions. The closer Hecate got thee weaker the light from the blade became. Not because they were losing their focus, but because it was time for them to try out mother things. Loki smiled as Hecate closed in and flicked her wrist.

As she flicked her wrist the chain cranked in, bringing the dagger back to it's original position. With the weapon now whole again. Loki twirled the blade in her hand, and then exploded forward, as she glided across the ground, as she sent a powerful Stringer stab in Hecate's Direction. The speed of this technique was faster than it normally was. This was larger because, the weapon itself or rather Nex, was moving itself through the air in the same direction, carrying Loki, as Loki pushed herself forward.

The two of them where more in-sync than they were before. The longer the battle went on the greater their efficiency would become. Loki smiled as Nex slowly became more and more like an extension of her own body.

"Only when faith is tested is it validated, Loki."

The stances were proven to draw from the core of the body and ate art stamina like it were candied corn. If she weren't cursed with the half day stamina boost of her loving god then she might had felt herself in trouble. Instead the closer she got the she felt the urge to use her hands. To pry muscles from bone the bloodlust turned her shadowing into a sprint and the sprint into an exercise of keeping her legs warmed up. The slow rate of her healing made her wounds itch but with every step she never felt more powerful, knees bending to propel forward.

Where they met, Loki was a touch quicker, perhaps lighter on her feet than the deadly ballerina but as the jab sailed forward find purchase Hecate sprung off her back heel to see herself nearly impaled. The sweeping roundhouse was designed to strike all targets and blow them backwards. The weapon had proven impossible to remove from her hand but not impossible to meet head-on with force. Her calcanius she could feel shift slightly, all that aggressive force put into a heel spin but the results weren't going to show themselves without sacrificing a bit of the body's vitality.

With her adrenaline pumping and wounds weeping she wasn't sure how much of this was even her own original blood anymore but it didn't matter. Rain could provide her with more.

The blew from Hecate clashed with Loki and Nex and repealed her arms upward in the air. She slid backward. Nex was already moving it's weapon shape body back towards Hecate's direction, she already knew exactly what Loki wanted to do next. The vibrations of their soul were already beginning to form a beautiful symphony, as they slowly began to play off each other more by the second. As Nex brought Loki arms back around, Loki jabbed her arm forward with the motion. She stared at Hecate and responded,

"Hmm, sounds like your faith doesn't have faith in you. Makes it sound like, Jashin is insecure." Loki said quite seriously.

What was the point to being faithful, if you had to be constantly be tested for being faithful? It made no sense to Loki. Your faith should be rewarded not tested constantly. As Loki spoke, her arm became a blur, as she sent a flurry of stabs towards Hecate direction. Although she was a witch, she was one of only a handful of sword saints in this world. Each strike of her Million Stab was precise and deadly even the most seasoned warrior. And now that she was working with Nex so fluidly, each stab was faster than she remembered.

Each one had more force, was sharper and solid. Everything about every blow that she unleashed was several steps above what she was able to do on her own. The vibrations of their spirits continued to grow, as they became more engross in battle. Nex and Loki was of one mind, not only in this fight but in regards to the conversation that Loki was having with Hecate. The more the two spoke, the more Nex found common ground. From the common ground, their souls found a more profound connection with each other, greater than their servant and master connection they usually shared.

Nex was starting to see Loki in a different light that she normally had. She was usually so cold and distant towards Nex, only using her, when the situation called for it. Nex didn't have much of an impression on Loki as a person, other than she was power, and looked after her own interests. As she fought with her, as their soul resonated, she began to understand the deeper meaning behind her actions up to this point. Loki was a lot more complex than Nex had given her credit, and this surprise was a pleasant one. Becoming her Demon Weapon, was a blessing in disguise, to solve the mystery that is Loki. She'd hope to be the first.

"Faith granted me the power I do have. I think you're just used to being spoiled."

The flurry of stabs would have been even less of an issue had she the might of her blade or scythe but without them she was was still not without her abilities. Arms versus legs. One flurry traded for another. The stabs came and Hecate just lowered her center of gravity to start with a sweeping kick, to put focus on the legs. One long smooth clockwise turn tat she could turn into another double kick and a heel drop on loop. Over and over. A repeat to deflect the attacks coming though with her poor ballerina shoes they were going to be in tatters and the bottom of her feet raw with friction and exertion.

Swinging into a front somersault to bring her heel crashing down like it were just another blade- the reset was landing on her palm and bringing another sweeping kick around, to attack the legs, leap, double kicks, heel drop. Again. The blade between herself and Loki made her own attack remain focused on contesting the flurry of blows. It was a new form, awkward, a different muscle group. She didn't win but she didn't lose her ground either. Whatever blood was spilled wasn't going to be missed anyways..

[Madame Loki]

Nex: 40/50

Loki pulled back after she saw that she was making no progress with her stabs other than tearing up Hecate's clothing. As she jumped back she just looked at Hecate. The vibrations that where going through her body, were telling her to be patient now. Nex clearly wanted to try something a little more intense that before. Loki's eyes narrowed in, as the Duet their souls were singing was was just beginning. While they were fully in-sync it was the best time to try what Nex had in mind.

"You say spoiled. I say getting what I deserve. I feel you deserve more as well."

Loki smiled with a smile on her face, as she felt Nex beginning to move itself into a striking position. Loki followed her lend as she began to channel more of her power into Nex.

The attacks lessened from the opposing end but Hecate pressed forward with the same vigor and insistence, the whiffing spring of her roundhouses hard enough to cut the air itself if the atoms hadn't been so tightly bound to one another. A jumping somersault led into a heel drop she wasn't holding anything back on and could put any rigorous fighting out of the game if they weren't minding their distance. Where loki relented Hecate pressed to bring the pressure.

Springing into a handstand she instead executed a capoiera move of swinging the hips around as if to attack the ankles, firing off a lift kick from below though it's connection was not absolutely required, just set her up to be in a much more comparable position to rain down the kind of violent strikes that got her up and out of bed in the mornings. They were within touching distance and the whole while Hecate was on her toes for agility throwing lift kicks and standing front kicks that'd break teeth let alone lift a grown man off the ground.

The standing heel kicks felt stiff and sticky, boring but effective they came out late and she could feel it catching in her hip. A lack of stretching. "Hmn." he traded the heel kicks for an axel kick, a side stance posture that led off a short jump and a drop heel, the supporting foot being the pivot point to swing around another move of absolute violence. As much downward force as she applied every lifting blow could take the fight back to the air or they could slug it out on the ground as fat as she was concerned. There wasn't anywhere she couldn't take the fight anymore.

"I am plenty spoiled, Loki. The path of Jashin led me to you and I consider you my only friend and sister. you gifts are an extension of that as well. I am not without some reprieve."

---------------------------------------------

"Well it's nice to know I'm appreciated." Loki said with a smile as she got into a fighting stance. As she stood there she watched Hecate's approach and time seemed to sloe for her at that moment. She let out breath, and heard Nex's soul singing. As her soul began to sing Loki's soul began to sing as well to match the melody. It took them but a moment, for their souls to match each-other and for their power to spring forward. However, the simple Witch Hunt slash is not what they wanted. It was a fine attack but it was too easily avoidable for those who simply had the mind to try. The shape was too simple.

They both wanted something that could expand on what they already knew, and mold the shape of the witch hunt from simply a bigger weapon, into something that could catch their enemies off guard. In this instance Loki's eyes seemed to glaze over, and the weapon she was holding seemed to lose it's own, feeling of life. The two became deadened as their two soul died to give birth to one combined creation. For the instant, the song that the two souls where singing exploded.

It was so loud that it's sound could faintly be heard in the waking world. The vibrations, the gently yet haunting melody, rippled out from their person. As the Weapon in Loki's hand came to life once more. The light from the witch Hunt slash, exploded forward, and Loki reversed her grip, so that the dagger side was facing Hecate. As the light from the Witch Hunt presented itself, Loki's eyes widened, and the shape that it took changed slightly. The Blade end began to curve ever so slightly.

The curve of this blade wasn't exactly what Loki or Nex waited but it was the best they could do at such short notice. Loki racked the reserved gripped blade at an angle and upward, and went into a small spin. The attack left a trail of light in it's path, creating a lingering half circle of destructive soul power. Loki eyes regained their light she she went to collide her attack with Hecate's. As the attack finished she and Nex had the same thought running through their minds.

"More."

It was a simple thought but one they both understood. the attack needed more range, it need to cover more angles. It needed to bring a level of despair to those it targeted that they could not understand, nor defend against. She wanted to inflict the fear of death on those who never thought it possible to die. She was to living to understand just how fragile their lives really were. They needed... more.

Confidence kept her strong but it was deeper than that. The style in which she hunted was fueled by the fortitude of her body. Strong. Fit. Unyielding and with the kind of strength that could be boasted by the structure of the human body. The knee was a simple mechanism with only two true bones to it and a pulley system of the tendons. Cushioned by the synovial fluid in the joint capsules. The pressure make joints sturdy and powerful, resilient, the way her kicks landed that could be supported by the muscle built along the leg altogether.

The rotation of her hips and the blunt protrusion of the calcanius bone made it like a club, a crude bludgeoning into an instrument of destruction to shatter defenses. Loki didn't defend. she attacked. Their attacks could clash but the way her weapon curved so wickedly made a straight edge kick useless, a bend at the knee being more effective to angle her kick.Their respective could have been heard screaming through the air when swung if the human ear was a sensitive enough instrument. She was a smart enough witch not to fall for the downward strikes but a flurry of uplifting swings made lashing out in return hard for a weapon. Maybe a normal weapon.

"I never lie." There was something primal behind that kind of strength. Raw. Visceral. Empowering. The feeling of pressure and friction, the release of pent up energy in a burst of violence. Every time she collided with the blade she felt pleasure. Satisfaction. Her hips twisted into the line of drive and made her kicks a weapon of near-mass destruction, they were throw with the intent to hit and no limits held back. Cut appeared, passive strikes, bad angles from her kicks where she tried to deflect the blade and finding that it wasn't one blade but most assuredly an illusion of multiple. Sneaky, sneaky woman. In a moment of sporadic entertainment Hecate did a front roll into a launching kangaroo kick~

Hecate jumped forward with her kick, and Loki quickly brought up her Weapon to defend against the kick. The force of the kick forced her backward, outside of the range of her Weapon, even in it's Witch Slash form. However, that didn't seemed to stop Loki from preparing another attack. As soon as her feet hit the ground she brought the reversed grip blade above her head, and her eyes focused. All Hecate would have to do, is halt her assault for just a moment, and she'd remain out of the range of any attack Loki was planning.

At least that would have been the case up to this point. The Blade began to shine again with the light of the witch hunt Slash. Immediately the weapon took on it's previous form. Only this time the curve on the blades end became a little more noticeable. Loki knew it wasn't just the shape of the blade that would matter in this attack, it also wasn't the strength or connection of their souls. The both of them felt that there wasn't much more that could do at the moment to bring there soul more in alignment.

Nex would just have to bring out more power, and whatever power Nex could not fill, Loki would have to make up for it with technique. Nex could also help with this, moving herself in the manner that Loki had in mind to make the movements of her swing much more crisp filling in the holes of any wasted movements. This allowed Loki to put more force behind her attacks without having to worry about risking her form or technique.

This was a vicious beneficial cycle that would bring them to new heights, and the two of them were just now starting to understand all of that. Loki smiled as she sent out a devastating, diagonal swing. Even with the weapon in this form it should have been impossible for her to reach Hecate's location. However, the Half circle shaped attack, left behind a flash of soul power again. This time it was a little different than before.

Not only did it leave a stream of light in it's trail, that light, stretched of the ends of the blades attack. it wasn't so much a flying attack, for so one that extended the range of the weapons swing, by more than 10 extra meters. The range of the half circle swing took up a large area in front and to the side of Loki. And she wasn't done. As soon as the first strike ended she sent a second closely behind it form to half circles in an X formation. This still wasn't enough for Loki, this was not the final form of this technique. She and Nex could feel it.

Huffing through her nose, Hecate held out her hand to call to the scythe in the distance and as it sought the approval and the ferocity of her familiar grip she too was pondering over just how to make her strikes that much more effective. Swinging harder wasn't always the answer to bust through a brick wall or cleave through a linked fence. Finding the weak points and driving the scythe through that was the key. Battle analytical mind at work she really pulled the thoughts in and ran her tongue along her fangs in preparation. She had a whip-chain like blade but a chain was as strong as the weakest link. So stressing them was almost the only way to find out.

When the large weapon hit her palm she was already into a strike. One large overarching swing of her blade to come down. Since the top-most blade had the furthest reach it had the longest threat potential and striking with the intent to land with the SECOND blade left the top blade free to strike red gold. No doubt Loki would block it but in block Hecate could really pressure this 'special' weapon of hers and see if it held up to the might and power of her 'meister blade' or whatever the hell she wanted to call it. Completing the swing in a hard overhead chop Hecate drove her heel into the back of the guard to really dig her weight and strength into it.

"Let's see if your toy is all it's cracked up to be."

Loki: ?/70

"Hm... odd you say that, while using one I made for you."

Loki purred as she twisted her body out of the away to avoid Hecate's attack, rather than simply blocking it. It wasn't that she was afraid to block it, but more that it was an easier way to counterattack. The weapon was already back to it's normal form when Loki went to avoid Hecate's attack. In the motion of her dodge she backed away as well. The Witch hunt form of her Demon weapon would have more basic range than the Scythe that Hecate was wielding. The best course was to remain just outside of it's range, to maintain a offensive and defensive position.

As she twirled she and Nex began to build off of one other once again. Usually taking such an action, turning you back to your opponent, would leave you open to attack. However, nex still had their senses, and could keep an eye on Loki's back, covering all of her blind spots. This was one of the many advantages that came with having a Demon Weapon. This left Loki with on the time she needed to focus on release molding, and syncing with Nex's soul. As the two of there soul once again began to release their power, the shape of the weapon in Loki's hand began to change once again.

The sword lengthened in size, it's length and width of the weapon increased. The blade curved once again, and it was almost to the point where it was starting to look like a mega scythe itself. Loki continued to the motion of her twist and sent on a devastating slash horizontally. The slash went out out on slash that was almost a 3 quarter circle. The slash left a trailing soul energy that would destroy anything in it's path. That light stretched out almost 16 meters off of the trailing slash.

Loki stopped her spin, and began to twirl in the opposite direction sending another slash in Hecate's direction. She could feel that the attack was reaching it's final form, but it was still missing something. the shape of the blade itself wasn't enough. It need more, the motion of the swing needed more. Everything was just a little bit off from where she wanted it to be. Loki's eyes narrowed as she watched the results of her attack.

As the attack went out, Nex was already feeding instructions to Loki on what she could do to improve. Loki at the same time was telling Nex what she could do to make wielding her feel more natural. They were almost there, they just needed a little bit more. The weapon began to turn back into it's original form, and Loki stood their with a glazed over look on her face.

"The highest form of flattery- as they say."

Banked on the fact they were in her wheelhouse now and the collisions of their weapons were powerful but not the strongest Hecate had had the pleasure of confronting. She missed the initial strike but she had so much more to offer and following up a missed strike was easy Efficiency was her specialty with this blade of hers, this instrument of Jashin. Am extension of her will and his. She'd shatter that thing in Loki's hands if it cost her a million lifetimes.

Catching that first slash on the body of her scythe she channeled that strength back at her in a counter to knock back Loki's second swing with twice the force- coupled on top of her prowess in counter abilities. "It's a little different when you have to get your hands dirty, right?" The scythe was so fluid it welt like being one. The way it spun and twirled in her arms. It seemed her weapon was going to prevent her from flanking the witch with the counters but in sheer raw power this was not a contest so much as it was survival for most.

The ends of her scythe glinted with malice and for the longest while she pressed forward hard with series of strikes. The beauty of the dual ended scythe being she could attack and defend, follow up her missed strikes and press a seemingly endless barrage of attacks. Most weapons couldn't handle that kind of pressure. She swung herd. Swung fast. Precise and deadly. The soul sucking blade whiffed by several times but never too close- not with the phenomenal spacing Loki had but she'd spend her whole life backpedaling with Hecate's nearly limitless stamina.

"This thing was you best work to date."

[Madame Loki]

Loki: 60/70
Nex: 60/80

Hecate performed her counter, and it repeled Loki a bit. The damage that she would have dealt was directed back in her direction. She had the mind to avoid the in coming damage, but decided against it. Her eyes simply glazed over as the wounds appeared on her body, and began to heal as quickly as they appeared. The blood from the damage already turning into a fine mist spraying behind her into the trees. She listens to Hecate, and snorts,

"Not really... it brings me the same feeling... disappointment." Loki cooed. As she spoke the light in her eyes flashed over again. And she forcefully separated her the weapon in her hand. She she did so, she now held the dagger and the blade, with the chain connecting the two. She planted her foot into the ground, and slid a stop. A torrent of water slashed behind her due to the force of her exploding forward towards Hecate. As she charged she crossed the blade and dagger in front of her face, and they along with the chain that was now trailing behind her, began to glow.

The Witch Hunt Slash form, exploded into existance, and the blade and dagger both developed vicious and large hooks on their ends. The chains developed large hooked spikes and began to hum, and they buzzed across the surface of the chain like a powered saw. As Hecate bragged about the Scythe that Loki had made her Loki chuckled saying,

Nuh uh... I save all the best toys for myself."

As Loki said this her body glided across the surface of the ground as she went into a spin. She and Nex where finally on the same page and Loki could see everything lining up the way she wanted. The in a reversed grip attacked high around her head, at the beginning of her spin, the dagger also in a reverse grip attacked Low and she squatted during the ending of the spin. The second spin combined the motion of the Blade Dagger and the chain, in a frenzied swirling attack.

In the wake of her first two strikes she left a trial of energy, that lingered and would damage anything with 24 meters, both surround the top and lower portions of Loki's body in the shape of a 6. The third would come on the tail end of the chain's attack, increase the total ranger cover by the attack to nearly 40 meters, the shape was a massive 6. The 3 sixes stacked around Loki to create a devastating attack, and air tight defense.

666 Hunt-Slash

"After-all, I am a selfish heathen." Loki giggled softly.

"Shame, that."

A fight? The forte of a murderous woman like Hecate? The scythe continued spinning and she pressed forward when Loki seemed so confident to press forward as well, eager for this death dance but it's not like she'd fought the likes of Hecate before. Stopping on her lead foot she swing the scythe in a wide upward arc like a crescent moon and immediately separated the violent weapon into two to press forward, arms swinging, smashing at the whip and dagger combo but she had no idea what these symbols she was extending from her body but moved in like they weren't a thing.

The energy projections seemed excessive, damaging but not enough to keep Hecate out of her face. She didn't strike many times, not hard. Her resilience of her body was ravaged by the aura but while she was in it she threw swings with enough windforce to suck into a vortex, pull a person right off their feet. This was power, strength and fortitude. The blade silent and deadly, efficient, the precision of her strikes made it so much more destructive, gashing the ground till it was a crater.

"All toys break if you hit them hard enough." Spinning like a death top she cackled like a little girl and let the attacks bleed together. A 10 meter vortex of blade strikes that deflected and bounced even broad AoE's off like swatting bugs away. The damaging 6's could stay, could wrack her body. The pain was pleasure, minimized by her body and what seeped through she let her natural healing and the burn of her youth burn at t all.Blood wept out of old wounds but she didn't care. It didn't matter. Red was the color of freedom and liberation; She'd bleed a million bodies dry if it meant pleasing Jashin. "I'd advise you stay in the pocket. Stepping back could be fatal~"
