Voltie — The Dude Posted 3 years ago ( 2021/07/5 04:19:49 )
Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

The one that was standing there was... an impressive male specimen, she couldn't deny. He looked quite built, imposingly tall, and his long black hair looked pretty good as well. She also noticed he had a halo over his own head as well... but this one was glowing more brightly than the others, and it appeared to be chipped instead of cracked. And his gaze was piercing, as well.

"...so, you ARE ignorant." he said.

"You've been chosen to succeed her, and yet you know nothing about afterlife affairs." he continued.

"The underworld must be in a sorrier state than I imagined, if YOU'RE the one Elizabeth chose as her successor." he then spat at her.

"As for what I want... right now, I want you gone." he finished.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Hey, you and your cronies are the ones who came and attacked ME." She stated as she put a hand on her hip.

"Seriously. I'm not causing you guys problems. As it stands, I'm mostly just a fucking medic." She added.

"So excuse you."

The man just sighed.

"I did not ask them to come and attack you." he said. "If anything, them doing this has just made things worse." he lamented, shrugging and shaking his head a little.

"Lord... Michael..." one of the Fallen whose halos Sydney had stolen started to say. "Please... for... forgive..." he started to say further, before Michael sharply glared at him.

"Do us both a favour." he said to Sydney.

"Crush that halo." he told her, pointing to the one on her left wrist.

She was silent for a moment before shrugging and taking it off of her wrist. The first thing she did, was snap it, which net a scream of pain from the one that had it before she stole it.

"Huh. So, Fallen and their halos are directly connected." She commented. "Can't say I'm surprised." She snapped it again, and again. It broke extremely easy, definitely easier than she thought it should, but she wasn't really going to complain.

It didn't take long before she managed to snap and crush it into a ball, which then shifted and formed something akin to a gem.

"Thanks for that lesson." She said with a smirk.

The man that stood before her smirked as well.

"Consider it my parting gift." he told her.

Then, before she could say anything or really react to the statement, he was literally standing RIGHT in front of her... and then his fist slammed right into her stomach with tremendous force.

"And yes, Fallen are Fallen because of their halos." he told her.

"Once the halo is destroyed, they become a demon." he finished.

She would have been thrown back had she not been against the wall. The impact was enough to make her see stars for a bit. However, she didn't need to breathe, thankfully. Otherwise, she might be in a lot of trouble.

"Good to know." was all she said before grabbing his wrist, a portal opening within it with the intent of causing extreme pain. That impact had hurt, and she knew that she couldn't take him on head to head. She wasn't sure that she could actually do much here, but was fully aware of how if she did anything - her speed would be the way to do it.

However, it was starting to set in that it hurt to move. That one blow from him was a serious one... even if not full power. She was reasonably certain that if it was a case of a full power blow, he'd have gone right through her.

Instantly, Michael's face winced in pain, as he unclenched his fist, grabbed her by her shirt, and literally threw her through the nearest door, smashing it to pieces, and causing her to fly into the drawer that was in the room she was flung into, causing IT to be broken and smashed.

"...I am impressed you fight back." Michael said as he started to quickly approach her.

"But then again... rats always fight back when cornered. And you are little more than a bat. And a bat is little more than a rat with wings." he sneered.

"However, I've played around enough." he then said further, as his other hand started to glow with frightening power. The aura it exuded was almost suffocating, and it stung her to even FEEL it.

"I will make sure your body and soul disappear from this plane altogether."

great big one on me.

She wouldn't lie, she was reasonably certain this would be the end for her. She didn't know why she was on the radar, but she was, and now? Now she was sure she was about to lose.

The impact with the drawer had hurt, a lot. She could barely move for the moment, as the impact had been to her spine, and now everything was painfully tingly. She was still conscious, but didn't know if she could even move for the moment.

As he neared, as she felt like the mana from him was acid on her skin, she felt what could only be described as a switch be flipped within her.

Moments later, there was mana seeming to be leaking from her, and it was mana straight from hell. If Michael stepped within it, he'd be devoured by the mana.

Michael seemed to know the mana that was leaking from her, and he immediately retreated back a few steps.

"What!?" he exclaimed.

"Damn it! NO!" he yelled.

He then thrust his fist forward, and a pulse of mana rocked the entire house... but all she felt from it was a shoving sensation, as the mana leaking out of her almost absorbed the impact.

"NO! NO!" Michael yelled again, trying to break through the mana that she was exuding, but to no avail.

She was silent, staying where she was.

"... you haven't beaten me yet." She said after close to thirty seconds.

"You gonna stay and be devoured by the mana, or go?" She asked. "Run like a little bitch?"

"Why you little-!" Michael growled, until he suddenly stopped.

He then looked at one of his wings... and saw that the mana had actually reached out and was clinging to it, devouring it as Sydney had warned him.

In a burst of panic, he grabbed the wing with his opposite hand... and literally tore it off of his back. He let out a yell that rang through Sydney's ears, before throwing the wing to the ground.

"THIS ISN'T OVER!" he exclaimed.

With that, he disappeared from where he was in what seemed to be tainted light, as the wing was eaten at by the mana seeping from her.

"... good." was all she said before just relaxing against the floor, not seeming to care about everything beneath her. All she did know for the moment was that she needed this, needed to be able to take a break, to just chill.

She also knew she'd have to get to her blood stores, as that would help, but she just couldn't for the moment. She was still slightly numb from that impact, and still hurt like nobodies business.

At least she was alive, though. Although know she knew she was most definitely on the radar.

It took her nearly an hour before she could force herself to her feet and stagger her way to her phone, her landline specifically as it was right nearby. She grabbed it, nearly dropping it a couple of times, before managing to hit the speeddial. She wasn't sure who it was, as she wasn't entirely sure which she'd hit, but she hoped it would be answered.

Chances were it would be her love or her son, but she didn't know for certain.

As she listened to it ring, she just leaned against the wall that the phone had been on, and sank to the floor. She didn't have the energy to hold herself up for the moment.

As she listened to it ring, a number of things went through her mind... all of them Fallen-related. She'd been able to deal with the cronies that had come for her, but if Michael's reactions were anything to go by, he hadn't sent them there. They had just been low-tier foot soldiers, essentially. Ones that he didn't care lived or died, or anything. Hell, he'd even had her turn one into a demon right there and then.

And Michael himself had been alarmingly strong. So much so that the sudden and fortuitous appearance of the 'gift' that Liz had bestowed upon her when she was appointed the successor was the only reason she was still here.

He had been THAT strong. As a Fallen.

She didn't have TOO long to ponder that, though, before the phone was answered.

"Csilla?" Nico's voice echoed from the other end.

"What's up?" he asked her. "You all right?" he asked further.

She'd called from her landline, which was a rarity. So he was a little concerned at the moment.

The woman, Csilla, was silent for a moment.

"... I've got a story to tell." She said, but she knew she didn't sound the best.

"Just come home, or send someone. I can barely move without a ton of pain, and this place is a disaster. Some help straightening it up would be fantastic."

"...eh?" Nico muttered.

"I'll be right there. Gimme a minute." he told her.

"Yep." Sydney replied, before the call was ended.

Sure enough, Nico had used the special coin he had, and teleported to Sydney's home. He stepped inside, and immediately Sydney knew he was there. Mostly because he yelled "What the HELL happened here!?" and it rang through the house.

"Csilla!?" he called out.

"Where are you!?"

Csilla was silent for a moment before just knocking on the floor, lighter than she wanted, as she laid her head back agianst the wall.

"Kitchen!" He heard, barely.

"I'm alive. Don't worry." she added as he neared.

Nico quickly made his way to where he'd heard her, and stopped when he SAW her.

"....the mana in this house is... just..." he stammered, before shaking his head and getting closer.

"Csilla, what the hell HAPPENED?" he asked Sydney.

"It's... this feels like some sort of mana clash happened, but it's nothing I've ever felt before." he went on.

He then paused, as something clicked.

"...were there Fallen here?" he asked her.

Csilla didn't say anything, just held up the one halo she still had.

"Three." She told him.

"Took out two. One halo is gone. The last ran."

"...." Nico was silent as he saw the halo, and listened to her.

"I see." he said.

"The fact you managed to fend three of them off, and actually have something to show for it is impressive." he told her.

"Though it seems like they did quite a number on you..."

"Largely the last one." Csilla commented.

"Wanna grab me a bag from downstairs." She asked. "I doubt I can make it there myself, and if I'm going to have any hope in a quick recovery, I'm going to need to feed."

"Before I can't." She added, and he could hear how it wasn't too far from where she was now. If she reached that point, she'd have to get it probably via an IV or some other means of that variety.

She knew why it was hitting her quite so hard. It was because his mana. That mana didn't do much to her for the moment, and she realised that, however, it did enough. As she pulled back the mana from Liz, she realised that his mana was still there, and her protections through the mana were very much gone.
