Bulk Smash - On Pause

I like it heavy, Wohhhh! - Halestorm: I Like It Heavy

After letting go of the basket, she nodded in approval, agreeing. “I am glad that you like them. I will have Essa bake some more,” Stallaluna said politely, proud of her friend, "My companions appear not to be home at the moment, but if you stick around, perhaps she can share the recipe. Mind you, I know nothing about cooking or baking, although I am eager to try. Having said that, first I need to master something." She finished saying, peering out at her yard. The task seemed daunting now that her panic attack seemed to have passed. But she was determined to complete it and quickly. “Orange is it.” She reached into the fridge and pulled out the jug of freshly made orange juice. She poured the juice into a glass, placed the jug back into the fridge and picked up the lemonade and poured herself one before closing the door.

However, before she could hand over the glass, she was momentarily caught off guard. She shrugged her shoulders as a question was posed to her. "So...at the time, it sounded like a good idea. I found that pounding something improves my mood. However, now that I look at it, it looks like all I did was make a mess. Nonetheless, I cannot stop now, it is an eyesore just by looking at it." She replied casually, placing one glass on the countertop while with the remaining grass in her right hand, she examined the knuckles of her left. Despite the fragile skin, they were bruised and purple but no longer painful. “You like roses, I see. Good. We got good taste.” She took a sip of her drink before placing that too on the countertop.

She glanced over at Crya's untouched glass and shook her head. "Don't drink it if you don't want to, but please don’t waste my food. Oranges are not cheap.” She picked up her glass and retraced her steps, walking back out the door and into the yard. By now it was starting to spit and in the distances, she could hear thunder drumming. The Kamyuja placed her glass on the outdoor table under shade before walking toward her lawn. It seemed she was annoyed after all. But she couldn't blame the female. If in fact, the female had been a hostage as she claimed, then trust must be earned. She didn’t know if the female had followed her out or not as she didn’t turn around to find out. Instead, she approached the two fist indents in the ground and hit the area without pause.

[Crya]

Staff Note: Training of this skill began on the previous page. Thank you.

Wait, Stellaluna never baked these herself? I stare down at the half-eaten muffin in my hand for a few moments before shoving it into my mouth. But when she did not pour herself an orange juice, I glance at the full glass provided for me while Stellaluna continued talking about her gardening skills. Her knuckles were showing a brilliant bruise now, but no obvious signs of wounds. She must be a quick healer.

“Why are you being so kind toward me, despite I was the one intruding on your property?” I suddenly asked, just before she turned to walk outside. I ignored her comment about my refusing to drink the juice. As she walked out of the building, I pick up the orange juice and take a sip, hesitating before I swallowed. Being treated with courtesy was something I was not accustomed to and therefore I was left in a position of not knowing how to react or behave. I had grown to associate other people as hostile and aggressive, always wanting to experiment on me because of my shapeshifting abilities.

Could Stellaluna be one of those people who did not judge a person by their appearance, or skill set? Being able to alter my appearance was something ingrained into my DNA. It is who I am and what I can do. Maybe there was something about this woman that differed from other people as well? I am fairly certain her strength would be something that could attest to that, considering there are not many people as slight as Stellaluna who can create fissures in the ground with her bare fists. Anyone in their right mind would cause severe damage to their body punching the earth like that.

But there could also be the possibility of Stellaluna being the kind of person well versed in the art of lying and that she could be using this courtesy to soften my outer shell before finally calling in more captors to return me back to the asylum. I liked for that not to be the case, as something tells me that Stellaluna has secrets of her own and that she referred solitude rather than a lively environment. Otherwise, why would she live this far away from civilization? Just how far away from Kumogakure from Stellaluna’s property?

She gave nothing away. “Kind? I don’t think I understand. You asked for a drink, I had a drink to give. It was as simple as that. I couldn't send you on your way without giving you a drink, and as it is, you are free to leave but I wouldn’t recommend it. The weather is not promising, you may as well stay. But trust me, I am anything but kind.” As she was nearly out the door, she paused before mentioning, ^{(as edited by your post)} "Oh, and I won't murder you with poisons as that's not my speciality." A small, near nonexistent smile, appeared briefly before that too disappeared.

Outside, the wind had picked up and thunder echoed in the distance but had yet to echo above the head. In the distance, a light flickered briefly in the clouds before another rumble could be heard. A fierce storm was brewing. In the moments she spent inside, the temperature had drastically dropped and the sky had darkened dramatically. As a result of the purplish sky, the atmosphere was dark and it looked like twilight. The crisp air filled her lungs as she tore her hands from the ground and buried them again in the earth. Taking full advantage of her strength, she gave the strike all she had.

As the earth shook and buckled, it tore up like jagged teeth, erupting in a violent eruption. A horrific sound came from the ground as it tore open as if terra firma was crying. Upon release, soil, worms and the guts of healthy browns spewed into the air before settling meters away. Immediately after her fists entered the orb of green, a visible shockwave materialized, expanding outward in speeds far too fast to outrun or dodge. And along, seconds after, was the release of pressured air which would send anything flying. Her house behind her, rose gardens, and guest, if she had followed her out, would be spared from the energy and power released by her strike. But all before her was destroyed in seconds.

As soon as the ground had stopped shaking, her fists emerged and rested beside her. It had become evident that this was just the beginning. That her delivery of such strength and range of such damage was of B level and was deemed insufficient. She prepared yet again and, sensing a pattern forming, released air she didn't know she was holding before she attempted again. Overhead, there was a loud bang. The storm had landed.

Well, that was unexpected. Stellaluna ended up not being as kind as I had originally thought. Her brusque response had me staggering internally. The indirect threat as well had my mind reeling and for that, I threw back my orange juice in one gulp and place the glass on the counter. “What are you implying?” I said, my tone harsh. “You think that I would just let you try and harm me?” I follow her outside, stopping just on the edge of the porch. Stellaluna would be approximately two meters away, I was comfortable with that much space between us.

A loud ‘boom’ had erupted in the distance from the house, suggesting that there was an incoming storm approaching. I frown, Stellaluna was right a storm was indeed coming. I didn’t know much about the weather, but I did know that Kaminari no Kuni was a thundery environment, hence its name. Before long it will be raining. I watch as Stellaluna slammed her hands into the ground again. I was contemplating whether she was going to rip a chunk of earth out and hurl it at me. Now that I was completely unsure of her exact motive and intentions.

What kind of person would invite you - although unwillingly as it would seem - into their home and give you food and a beverage, only to turn nasty and threatening afterwards? Had Stellaluna poisoned me with those muffins? She didn’t make them after all, her ‘company’ had. But where was this company? Were they hiding somewhere, readying to strike now that I had finally realized what Stellaluna’s intentions were? Or was I completely wrong?

All the Kamyuja heard from her new companion were mumbles since she was already occupied with the task at hand: remodelling her yard. She was distracted and trying as hard as she could to appear unconcerned about what her new companion said. As her thoughts wandered back to what the female had said, she became increasingly irritated. Kidnapping was a serious offence. Having experienced this in the past, she knows what it is like to be controlled by someone else. Not to mention the physical and psychological torture that was hard, sometimes impossible to overcome. The memories of those experiences still haunt her.

Another crack of thunder accompanied the slamming of her fists against the ground. The first drops of rain appeared, and the ground began to shimmer as the water pounded. She became drenched in a matter of seconds. In any case, she knew now where the woman was, and she wasn't required to turn around to see that she was angry if not intimidated. She hadn't intended for her to react that way, but her tone or choice of words had somehow ignited Crya's passion. Her new friend was no kitten. She had claws. With a breath released, she pulled her hands free and buried them again.

After slamming her fists into the ground with all her might, the strike again sent debris flying. But was it enough? Clearly, this was becoming repetitive. Even though she didn't want to kill the woman behind her, she could have used her as target practice. No, this was the only option available, the destruction will only grow over time. Despite the sweat on her brow, the Kamyuja wondered what she was going to do with the kitten. Was she too angry to stay now that she had unwillingly pissed her off? She frowned as she continued with her training.

Wow, that was rude. Stellaluna had completely ignored me. I watched her for a few moments, smashing her fists into the ground and watched as the devastating force of her attack levelled the surface. I decided to stand there and watch her, although my blood was boiling at her ignorance. I cross my arms over my chest and shook my head, allowing my thoughts to consume me.

Now, there could be a number of reasons why Stellaluna would deliberately ignore me. One reason may be that I was correct and that I saw through her façade. I was able to identify what a fraud she was, and that she was thinking of what other ways she could achieve her plan to be rid of me. She could be buying time so that I would grow tired of being ignored and outright attack her. Believe me, the thought did cross my mind. But since I knew nothing about this woman, I decided to wait. There was also the ‘companions’ that she had, people who I have yet to identify and see. Besides, if she is capable of levelling the earth with her two fists, I could only imagine what she would do to me if I tried attacking her.

Another reason would be that she could be thinking about my reasoning for wandering around on her land. Was there something about my statement that had caught her off guard? Was she a kunoichi like me? Or a simple citizen? I did note a small amount of surprise and concern when I stated so earlier during our encounter. This woman’s emotions were incredibly difficult to read, and it was becoming increasingly hard to identify exactly what her plans or thoughts were. There was also that act of kindness by giving me some food and a drink – both of which were not poisoned I might add.

The thunderous clouds had eventually moved overhead, and rain had begun to fall. Within seconds the land was soaked and the upturned earth Stellaluna’s thumping had caused turned muddy and even more atrocious. Stellaluna had absolutely no idea about design. I release a sigh and move over to sit down on the swing chair on the porch overlooking out to the yard, or lack thereof.

As I studied the movements of the woman before me, I picked up on a feeling that she seemed troubled about something. Did she finally realize that bashing the earth was a shitty idea? Or was she deliberating something else? Not once did she move her head in any other direction to indicate that she was looking for my whereabouts. I was unable to see her expression from where I was sitting, and the fact that she did not respond to me also left me wondering what was on her mind.

As she slammed her fists into the earth again, I was able to see a bit of her expression. She was fully aware that she had an audience. But her face was hard to read. “Got nothing else to say, huh?” I decided to try to test her again. My tone was somewhat condescending, pushy at best. I was attempting to get a response out of her, but not enforce that wrath upon me. My strength was by no means a match to hers; I knew that should I attempt to punch the ground like that, the bones in both my hands would shatter and it would hurt like hell.

Could I outrun Stellaluna? Perhaps. In the form of a child, or if I made myself as small as my enhanced body will allow. Smaller may mean faster, Stellaluna looked agile, but I doubt she would be able to get into most crevices smaller than half her size. I felt confident that I would successfully get away. If need be.

The all-consuming activity she was engaged in seemed routine and secondary to her concerns as she was lost in her own thoughts. As if history were repeating itself, her mental picture turned to chaos, kidnapping in Kumogakure, she couldn’t believe it. It disturbed her. Her deep hypothesis must have caused her to look up because she was soon blinking away the water that had caused her to become temporarily blinded from the storm. In the midst of her startlement, she refocused on the task at hand, keeping her hands pressed against the ground. Her right knee was facing upwards while her left knee was buried in mud.

She was so lost at that moment that she didn’t even know when the earth had transformed into mud. The Kamyuja was suddenly startled at hearing movement behind her but came to realise that the sound was coming from the swing chair squeaking. It sounded misplaced in the storm, it didn’t belong in the song of the weather. She didn’t bother to look, even if she could she might not have seen much as her hair was plastered to her skin. After a moment, she did hear her friend say something. Despite the kitten bearing her teeth, the Kamyuja fought back a smile, speaking loud enough to be heard above the raging storm: “In the chest by the back entrance is a blanket you can wrap around you if you want to sit there and watch me.”

That's what she said before burning her hands into the mud once again and watching mud, sparkles of rain and deep buried soil fly upwards. Her surroundings settled once more as she heard the mud landing in the distance. Then, muttering to herself, she commented that Essa would have to do the remodelling for her since she had made so much of a mess that it was difficult for her to even decide where to begin. Essa will not be happy. Stellaluna contemplated silently to herself as she pounded the ground again.

The shock on my face was noticeable to anyone watching me. Did I hear her correctly? Was she offering me a blanket to keep me warm? My mouth hung open and I stopped rocking in the chair, the soft squeaking ceased only to be replaced by the thudding of the rain on the porch. “What?” Was all I said. It was all I could say. I was not expecting that at all. Stellaluna continued to pound away at the earth, her entire body soaked to the bone from the rain.

Thunder boomed overhead within four-second intervals. Internally I counted each second before a deep rumble would resonate across the sky before breaking into bright white light as lightning tore out from within the dark clouds. It was still daytime, approximately three in the afternoon, but one would think it was heading toward nine in the evening. My mind continued to fixate on Stellaluna’s comment. What was going on?

Was she baiting me? Or was she simply being hospitable? Surely, she was taking the piss, trying to get a rise out of me. I cross my arms across my chest, defiant. Stellaluna’s behaviour had just sent be back to square one. What was her motive now? She still had her back to me, so she was completely open to attack. I could easily throw a knife at her or sneak up behind her and bash her with something. Stellaluna seemed completely comfortable and at ease with my being here.

The air was electric as was her progress and she felt the change as swiftly as a substitute in mentality or the change in seasons. After almost completing this technique, as she was well over halfway, the range of the Jutsu had improved as well as its power. Eventually, she would move on to the final level as soon as she mastered this one, but before doing that, she had to confront the woman behind her. Until S class is achieved in this technique, this strange female behind her must still be discovered, first, until trust is established between both of them.

She rested there, feeling more alive than ever, even though her heart was broken glass in her chest. It was obvious that Crya behind her heard the mentioned blanket, but she did not move to retrieve it. It puzzled her as to why she would not move to grab it. It didn’t seem logical for both of them to become unwell in this storm. Sure enough, she would have a better chance of overcoming an illness from the bad weather, but Crya? She didn’t know.

Despite the frown that adorned her wet, soaked face, her fist struck the mud again, this time not in an attempt to see it expand out into the sky, but perhaps to increase the range, release the power, and smooth things out. Her backyard no longer looked like a natural garden to be complimented on. In fact, it looked more like a pigpen. Her head tilted at her thoughts, and emotion, not entirely anger, bubbled to the surface and attached its sentiment into her next strike as her remaining fist lodged itself into the muddy ground.

Despite her sudden change in mood, there were no sounds coming from her, but when the earth tore up into the thundering sky and all of mother earth spit her guts out and about at extreme distances, speeds, and pressures, all of this matched the Kamyuja’s overwhelming strength and sudden tantrum. A pigpen?! The only thing lacking apparently was the damn pigs! Her thoughts were seriously fucked up. The earth roared around her as the maelstrom happened deep within her, before her and above her.

The rain had really begun to pour now. It belted down in sheets and further saturated the already muddy ground. Stellaluna’s ‘work’ was vast, stretching out along the landscape as strike after strike had pummeled the earth. From sitting in the swing chair, I watched as the silver-haired woman slammed into the ground with aguish, frowning as she did so. From my current position behind her, I noticed the slump in her shoulders and the shaking of her arms. Surely, she must be in pain.

As Stellaluna slammed her fists into the ground again, she was silent, unnerving. It had me wondering if she was a woman deep in thought. She did not answer me, I was not surprised considering how loud the thunder was. It tore across the sky in such a way that the sound was deafening to the ears. I had stood up then and had entered the house for a few minutes to retrieve myself another drink. The orange juice was where Stellaluna had left it, in the fridge.

While pouring myself another drink, I contemplated on the kindness that was being shown to me. The woman outside was in fact, quite hospitable. Yet I refuse to forget that she had also threatened me earlier as well, which had me wondering whether she should be trusted. My instincts told me at this point that she was someone I could trust. And have I ever been wrong in my instincts?

The inner turmoil of my thoughts had me struggling to understand what was really happening. People have always wanted to study me because of my shapeshifting abilities. Stellaluna doesn’t know anything about me except that I had stumbled upon her property and that I was once held captive somewhere. Could she truly be trusted? Providing food and beverage could mean anything. Either she was truly being hospitable and kind, or the gesture could easily have a sinister thought behind it as well.

Perhaps I was overthinking everything and that Stellaluna truly meant me no harm. But why threaten me? I turn my head to look outside into the storm again, watching the woman there working feverishly on the ground outside. I held the glass of juice in my hand and had put the jug back into the fridge. “What are you thinking?” I mumble to myself, studying the woman before me. Lightening tore out across the black sky, the zigzag visible in the distance. The bolt had struck a nearby tree, severing one of its limbs.

Stellaluna appeared completely oblivious to the storm outside, she continued to work as if it were dry and sunny. I was watching the now-muddy ground outside, the length of the upturned earth stretched out far and wide and was difficult to tell from inside the house. Just how long does she want to expand this garden of hers? I exit the house and return to my seat again, the screeching sound audible as the seat took my weight.

"Black raptor sweet Jesus, we have a guest!" The whisper was overly loud and tinged with something close to fear. Or respect. Silas couldn't decide which but he could hear the confusion in his little sister’s voice. And happiness. “So it would seem, little sister. Now, keep quiet, she's coming in." So he shoved his younger half out of sight and hid behind the wall. As the red-haired stranger entered the kitchen, he took every second to eye the stranger looking for weapons. “Well? Whatya think?” Essa hissed out softly, so very silently. He didn’t have a reply to give. Watching from his hiding place, he knew that, with the same abilities as his sister, the stranger would not notice them…

Despite her intense focus, Stellaluna chose to not follow Crya when she left the swing chair and entered inside. This was stupid and risky since the woman remained a stranger, but to gain trust one must start somewhere when one has no idea where to begin, so this was her taking the chance. Despite this, she rose from her position and walked ten steps to her right before kneeling down once again.

Her knees sank into the mud as she pressed both fists into the muddy pen. An unexpected bang of thunder muted the shockwave caused by her buried fists, and it was so loud and close that she flinched. Her ears rang out, just as a flash of bright white lightning beam eight feet to the right, striking a tree and turning its branches into smouldering sparks of orange and red. A faint scent of ozone filled her nostrils before she hit the ground again, almost burying her fists in and fearing she might touch the Earth's core.

Changing her stance slowly to relax her sudden tensed form, she pulled out her fists, shook the muck from her clawed fingers before again, slamming her fists in, repetitive but easy now. At this moment, she came to the conclusion: More or less, she was done. Minutes away from mastery. When she saw that Crya was back, she smiled, looked up and sighed.

The chair seriously needed some oiling. The screeching sound as I gently rocked back and forth was audible, even in this storm. Truth be told, I was amazed at how quickly the storm brewed when Stellaluna announced it. I watch ahead of me as the weather continued to rage across the land, strike after strike and rumble after rumble. Stellaluna continued to work through it all, never stopping or taking a few minutes to have a break.

I had heard muffled voices behind me, soft whispering, but words I could not make out. At this, I turn my head to look behind me, at the doorway which remained empty. The whispering stopped. Thunder crackled overhead followed closely by lightning which lit up the sky, casting a brilliant white glow against Stellaluna’s silvery hair. It almost reminded me of a glow worm’s glow in a deep cave. The whispering started again, this time slightly louder. But there were multiple voices, so I wasn’t able to determine the exact words.

Turning my head again, I glance behind me, leaning over the edge of the seat. The metallic structure protested against the shift in weight, but I ignore it. As I continue to stare into the doorway and into the house, I still see nothing and yet again the whispering stopped. This puts my senses on high alert for now I believe I am being watched. I quickly flick a glance toward Stellaluna who seemed oblivious to the whispering, before returning my gaze back toward the interior of her home. What’s going on?

This time I wait. The voices remain silent which had me wondering if I had been off my medication too long and that the voices were coming back. I frown. But I could hear reasonably well what the voices inside usually said. But these ones were quite faint, almost a trickle of a whisper. Perhaps I was hearing things? I bite down on my lower lip as I stare intently into the house. Just then another whisper drifted through the doorway and reached my ears. I hear the distinct word ‘think’ and it had me bounding out of my chair.

“Who is there?” I ask, my voice betraying my brave exterior. Had the people who kidnapped me found me again? Were they here to take me back? I am unarmed and exposed, all I had was my ability to shapeshift. But what would that do? I turn and angle my body sideways so that my right side was facing the door and my left was facing Stellaluna. I was able to see both the house and the woman. But it left my back entirely exposed. Fear welled up in the pit of my chest and a few stirrings of figures began to encroach in the corners of my eyes.

Looking from side to side, I knew by now that Stellaluna would now be alerted by my behaviour, but I choose to remain focused on the whispering. But that had stopped. For now. The figures in the corner of my gaze continued to flicker there, show, and disappear again each time I turn my head to see. A pair of brilliant red horns with piercing white eyes stared back at me from around the side of the house while a devilish smile greeted me. It was starting again.

Her hands felt like they were bound captive by the mud, so thick and slippery within the earth that if it weren’t for her strength, she would be stuck and looking pretty stupid. Having struck the earth with her fists, the ground screamed and flew guts of soil, mud, roots, and rock. The displacement was far greater than her starting point. If she calculated, it would appear pointless, but it clearly exceeds the previous limit further indicating that she was well on her way to becoming a master of A level.

She realised that continuing would be irrational as the shockwave subsided and the world within her closed cluster calmed down. It had been mastered and to continue now would only cause her to become tired and fatigued. There was no point in trying to improve until she discovered the hidden message of the S level and transitioned to the final of all thresholds. Her gaze was drawn away from the muddy field and towards the girl in the swing chair, and a frown developed on her mud-stained face. That was right, she had to find out more about this female.

Stellaluna's head tipped sideways as she analysed the female, and a shiver ran up her spine as she squinted into the dimness that sheltered that female. If not for the lightning, the red-haired would be completely consumed by shadow. Stellaluna knew something was wrong when Crya bit her lower lip, and she sighed. With one concluding smash for good measure, she raised her arms towards the raging storm and brought them down, this time not burying them but simply hitting the muddy field. In fact, come to think of it, she doesn't ram her fists in on purpose, her strength just causes it to happen that way.

The shock wave ripped the ground in front of her, sending earth flying, just as it had done before but this time with mastery. Her fists entered the mud and went down deeper. On dry days, one would see a creator or something similar, so that was normal just messy. The noise was phenomenal, catastrophic, and once again fearsome. But even she couldn't sit back and enjoy her creation. She was now consumed by the girl. When Crya asked ‘who was there’ the chill she felt deepened to pure concern. She rose from the mud, tugged her skirt down and approached slowly, looking in the same direction as her friend was. She couldn’t see anything…
