Rather Hiyori choose to listen to Himea's advice, or go along with her plan on her own terms, was a question, up until the moment she felt the sharp pain at her neck, at least. This was the moment she had to act,and she did! The explosions came suddenly, but also a slight bit slower then they should have, as Velora already went on the defense to protect herself from the explosion by the help of her shields, as unfortunate as that was to the one below her! Again her plan failed, no damage seemed to even remotely come to ether of them and Hiyori's energy continued to drain away with every bit of blood she took from her, until Velora would feel her resistance lesson, as if she had no more strength left to even attempt to push her away. The crimson of her eyes began to fade, and return to their normal blue-red, this seemed to go back and forth for several moments, before the silver of her hair would return to the vivid blond, the dark armor replaced with her normal white one as she returned to normal.
As her mind began to register what was going on, she realized she was laying here on the floor, blinking her eyes a few times, everything seemed so fuzzy suddenly. Everything that transpired while she was in her dark form was completely blank, she had no memory of anything that happened. All she knew was...her neck hurt, and her body felt horribly weak, not to mention..".....Why does it feel like I got hit by a train..." She muttered questioningly, laying there still, she really didn't feel like getting up right now! "...A train...and...oh god..No way...I ...I didn't lose..?!? " ...Oh the horror.. "...If you used your Reaper fangs to weaken me, that's cheating..!! " She was..so mad!!! But still showed no real interest in getting herself up off the floor. It was comfy right now.
. Himea was quite amused, watching the scene unfold as Hiyori started to come to was interesting to see. "..Hey, if you want to spare yourself the embarrassment and sleep it off, I can help you with that...Just a liiiitttle bit more of your blood sucked away, and you should sleep like a baby! " She sat up now, though not quite getting off the throne yet, as Velora began to talk to her, well, it only made her want to stay on it longer! "I never back away from a good fight, but i'm also not entirely stupid. You took a lot from her, didn't you? That means you probably took some of her power too! I'll challenge you another day when you're not so high on crazy fox's blood!"

Velora Interlocking her fingers together, Velora stretched her arms above her head, getting out a good stretch as it seemed the battle had finally come to an end. Lowering her arms after the stretch, she put a hand to her hip, grinning as Hiyori seemed unsatisfied by the end of the battle. "You put up a much better fight than I expected! Be proud. You were harder to fight than your master." Ironically enough. "For a bit there I actually thought you might win... Aah, that would've been so hot..." She couldn't hide her blush as she apparently began to fantasize. "Me, the Reaper Queen, taken down by such a petite, cute fox girl, underneath her boot, completely helpless in front of everyone... ahahahahaa..." She seemed to have quite the masochistic side when it came to cute girls. "That would have been a fun outcome, but you deserved better than me throwing a victory. And that transformation of yours... I didn't even know. You're even more incredible than I thought! And that form is SO hot..." She let out a wicked laughter at that, before turning to Himea. "Clever girl!" She snapped, and Himea would feel herself rocketed out of her throne. "But if you don't want to fight for it, then you have no right sitting in that throne." She took a few steps forward, taking her seat in the now-vacant throne, crossing one leg over the other as she looked at Himea. "Now, now... you're not one of my Reapers. But you ARE a Reaper, aren't you. What does this mean? You're no deserter, so that means you must be from the future." She put a finger to her chin. "Your latent power is severe. It feels familiar, too... Much like your very blue father." Her grin turned into a wide smirk. "Don't worry though, I won't reveal your secret. Still, this divinity... Samael gets with a goddess...? How exciting! Is it one of Nero's? Or Cosmos? Considering your hair is pink, it could be either..." Since Phoenix's mother had pink hair, it could still be one of his, but Cosmos' hair was pink, and she did seem to resemble her somewhat. "You didn't develop this divinity by yourself like Mordi, so it's hereditary. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, though... learning as it happens is just as exciting!" Honestly, her deduction of who she was and who her parents probably were in such a short time just went to show how intelligent Velora was--it was almost terrifying. Even Samael hadn't immediately figured it out, and he was EXTREMELY smart. "So, what is it you're doing here, Reaper demigoddess? It's quite the honor indeed." Her wide grin returned. "I can't imagine you're here to lend your assistance to my conquest, so what might it be that brings you?" (( OOC: ))

Hiyori rolled her eyes as she laid there, staring up at the ceiling! It was pretty amusing in a way just how calm she seemed after everything. "Yay..so thrilled to hear those words from you.." Her voice was flat and so very sarcastic! "I didn't lose, you just cheated because you were so afraid of losing to me, you had to take desperate measures to ensure you won. Hmph..SO not a true win. " At least in her opinion, she didn't fairly win! ...Then again, when did Reaper's ever really pay fairly?
Sitting up slowly, Hiyori just stared blankly at her. "You must have a fetish for short girls..unfortunate for you, i'm not as dominant as you may seem to think! I only like to rub victory in when I win a fight, if that even counts. " She blinked curiously at her next words, slowly getting to her feet. "..Transformation? ..Form? .....ohgod. Don't tell me..it happened again..? " She thought that ...whatever it was, had gone away somehow. It had never activated since the first time so long ago it seemed, back at her hide out in an abandoned lab. "...That wasn't me. I thought it was gone, but..." Well, clearly it wasn't. "I can't control it, whatever it is takes over and I have no more control over what happens...All I ever heard was when it happened last time, it was....extremely dangerous. What happened? I guess it wasn't to bad...this time. " No one was dead, so, that was a good sign! "...So, uh....I don't know if it will come back again, but if it does, do whatever it takes to knock me out, as I said, there is no control. It's evil and will hurt or kill anyone it feels like, including those close to me. " That's all the information she had from her last experience, anyway. There was still so much she didn't know.
"!" Himea was the daughter of a Goddess, it wouldn't be quite so easy to surprise her with crazy moves such as her rocketing attempt to get her out of the throne! She was quick to teleport herself away so she was standing a little ways away from Velora. "I have more right then you! " Just because she was on a higher level of power, she believed it so! "Hmmm..Aren't you a smartie. That must be your biggest difference from your KRUL mother.." Oh, hahaha..That was some kind of funny joke there. "You aren't no Demi-Goddess, yet you know so much so fast. But your guess of Nero's is really amusing. Do I look brainless and lazy to you?! " Then again....Cosmos wasn't exactly high intelligence ether, and sometimes, she could even be pretty lazy when she relied on her powers to do everything for herself! "Look to the stars,and you might have your answer there.." It was an obvious hint, look to the stars, her mother's name was Cosmos, it all kind of clicked together pretty easily!
Placing her arms behind her head, Himea looked at her. "I felt the presence of Krul disappear, so I wanted to come see if it was true..Hard to believe it was you who killed her.I wonder what your father will think? Secretly, he PROBABLY had some sort of developed feelings for your killer-mother. If he gets angry upon learning the news, then you'll know he's a naughty daddy with two loves in his life. Which one does he love more, I wonder?? " Her evil mischievous would never stop, this girl was always looking for trouble in any way, shape or form!

VeloraVelora let out a short giggle at Hiyori's apparent dissatisfied response to her loss. "Cheated? I don't recall rules being in place, little fox. Besides, if anything was cheap, it was that stunt you pulled after transforming! Not that I mind, though... it was quite exciting, too... Ehehehee..." Considering Hiyori didn't remember what happened, that might have concerned her. "If you're that upset about it, challenge me again anytime, cutie. I'll always be happy to accept and put you in your place all over again~" She didn't seem to be holding back, did she? "It's more accurate to say I have a fetish for cute girls! Which you fit into perfectly. But the idea of being taken down by someone smaller than me is very thrilling indeed!" Her smile turned into a grin. "So I want you to keep improving, get even stronger, and take me down one day! Then rub your victory in as much as you'd like~" She did want to see her grow stronger to fight her again. She didn't actually think Hiyori would be able to beat her, but perhaps with this challenge, she would continue to grow stronger. "Well, Hiyori, it does sound rather dire indeed, but you are in quite the perfect place if you want to learn how to control your darker side. Needless to say that's something we all have within us. Some try not to control it, but control can only make someone stronger. If you could keep your mind completely while in that form, just imagine how useful that could be." Her genius mind coupled with the power of that form? That would be truly terrifying indeed. "At that point you might even be ALMOST as good as me!" Her grin widened. Now she was just having fun with her."I told you you'd lose." Aeon said as he walked over to Hiyori, kneeling down next to her. "Eat this." He held out a bizarre-looking herb with black and gold spots on it. It looked a bit shady. Who would eat something like that? "......" His eyes turned to an irritated look. "Do it." Had she done as instructed, she would notice that the taste was... not the most pleasant, but after swallowing it, she would feel her power surge back to her tenfold. She would feel even stronger than she did before beginning the battle. Standing up afterwards, Aeon dusted himself off. "My people are pretty good at making medicines, potions, and remedies. Be grateful I used such an effective restorative tool on a slave like you." Aloof as ever, wasn't he. "I wasn't aware you had that form either. I want to see even more of it..." He couldn't really hide the lust in his eyes as he said that. It seemed he was interested in that form for more than just her surge of power! "Maybe if I smack you around like the b***h you are it'll come out. Worth a try, don't you think?" What a good healthy regular relationship these two were sure to have!"I think not! Goddess or no, this throne belongs to the queen. You'll have to defeat me if you want the right to sit here." It was clear she didn't quite value the power of divinity as much as some others, especially when it came to demigods like her. "Correct! Krul was quite an idiot." Her grin widened, as she leaned her head against her fist. "Brainless and lazy seems to describe Cosmos more than Nero, don't you think?" Poor Cosmos. Though, it wasn't entirely untrue... As she went on to explain why she had come, Velora took it into consideration. It wasn't such an easy thing to sense something like that from another realm, so Himea must have been quite strong herself in some way or another. Good to keep in mind. "Krul was the thing that was holding back our people the most. She was one of the strongest people in any world, but she was a fool. And unfortunately, the foes to Reapers take more than just strength to deal with. Especially when my father is counted among them." Yeah, ridiculous strength and skill coupled with a weapon that could kill their kind relatively easily made for quite the scary foe. "I'm sure my father has some sort of affection for my mother--I'm certain many men had the hots for her. She did wear a rather short skirt, huh." She grinned. "Though it's possible he had feelings for her... Hmm. If so perhaps I could use that to my advantage, somehow..." She put a hand to her chin, thinking. It was a detail she came back to often--how to deal with her father. Despite all the superhumans and the literal gods in that world, she genuinely saw Ephraim as the biggest threat to her conquest. Some might see this as silly, but those were the same people who challenged her father and lost because they underestimated him. Though even without the underestimation, the things Ephraim could achieve were rather frightening, really. "Anyhow, I wouldn't be surprised if he was more into my mother. Azura is really cute, and pretty hot, but who can resist Reapers?" Her grin widened even more. "Sexy, dominant, powerful... Honestly, what else could you possibly look for in a partner? And Krul might have been the best in all three categories--too bad she had such a tiny brain." She let out a laugh at that. Poor Krul. Perhaps one day she'd have her revenge... If she managed to come back after that.(( OOC: ))

"..Stunt? Um...what stunt? " Why did she suddenly get the feeling like she REALLY didn't want to know? She seemed to be a little to happy in her explanation of it, her giggling hid the evil she sensed behind it! "Oh, you can count on it. I don't lose a fight easily, you know! I may of 'lost' this one, but the next one will definitely have you taken down. ...Without the victory rub in, I have a feeling you will like that to much. " Of course she did! Which was why she didn't want to give her that satisfaction! She would have to find a new way to enjoy her victory, maybe she would spend it with Aeon, in their own quarters..alone...Now that was a victory to REALLY enjoy!
"I don't like the idea of losing myself in something else, not having the ability to control myself, knowing that I can be a danger to others.I don't know how it exactly happens, it just does...Today, during our challenge I thought about it, I thought I could test its power against you, and I thought I could control it this time around..but that didn't happen..I've never had it actually work when I wanted it to, but it seemed to this time. ...maybe it likes you." That was a joke, which was quite amusing considering the things she did when she was lost of control in her darkly form. "Hmph..you're going to regret the moment I CAN control it, pinkie!"
"...Encouraging words, master." Hiyori crossed her arms a moment, looking away as he started to walk over to her, as if she wanted nothing to do with him and his insults! ...But then, he held out something to her, which caused the fox-girl to turn back to him as he knelt down next to her, holding a rather scary looking herb to her. "..I don't know if I should. Maybe you want to kill me after losing to her, so your giving me this shady looking herbie-thing to put an end to your useless slave?? " She didn't really think that, in fact her voice was pretty obviously teasing him. "Well then..If it does kill me, I get to win. The last view I will have is your cute irritated look.You look so hot like that, especially when your angry..! " Which was almost all the time. She grinned, taking the herb he had given to her, inspecting it a moment before breaking off a small piece of it and putting that into her mouth. It was no mint, it didn't have any real pleasant taste to it, but she also didn't expect it to, she just chewed it and swallowed the herb as quickly as possible.Just from the amount she took, she could feel her energy come back to her at an incredible amount, which made her think to save the rest for a time she really needed it.."That's even more impressive then what I've made in the past..you elves are pretty magical aren't you? All one with nature and all that fun stuff? " Hiyori's grin fell into a small smirk at his next following words. What a charmer he was! "Don't count on seeing it to much.But if you really want to see it that bad..." She leaned up some,whispering something so that only Aeon would hear."You're gonna have to be real rough if you want her to show.." Yes, they would have quite the healthy relationship, no doubt. "No promises, though.." She then...leaned a little closer, suddenly jumping up with her arms wrapping around his neck, and just kind of hanging on him like that before placing a cutesy little kiss at the top of his nose! ...Then, she just let go, dropping back to the ground with a satisfied smirk.
Himea, for the most part was more into her conversation with Velora to really be paying any attention to Hiyori and Aeon. "It'll happen one day, so don't get to comfortable in that seat! " Like it really would, with her luck, Cosmos from her time would come down and drag her out of the throne, and force someone else to take up the position! She certainly wouldn't let her daughter take such a position! It was hard to believe, Cosmos in the future wasn't as lazy or stupid as the current time's Cosmos.She was quite a good mother, as unexpected as that was. "I wonder just how many don't know of Krul's status, what will you do when her little followers come here to challenge you, and what if one of those challengers actually wins? " Probably not possible,considering Velora's strength and abilities, but still, it was something to think about! Himea sat down there on the floor, listening to what she had to say. "..Oh, that sounds interesting..The drama that can arise from such a theory..The what ifs..! Why don't we find out? You must be curious who he REALLY chooses. Let's go see. Is he a naughty lover to the mermaid, or is he true. Lets...Find...Out! " She was a little to obsessive when something caught her attention!

 ___ ___  _________   ___ ___ "We face the king of demons, the monster that once ruled all Magvel.
He's more powerful than any one of us here. But we have something that beast will never have.
We have community, friendship, love... We have all the virtues of humanity.
That is our weapon. That is our strength.
Is everyone ready? We're going to win." "Ugh..." The well-known king around here let out, shaking his head as he raised it. The last thing he remembered was being ambushed by a group of unknown women--he assumed Reapers, now--and being knocked unconscious. He wasn't one to be caught unawares very easily, but having the power of teleportation tended to help when it came to laying traps. Not to mention he had been lured there by... who? He didn't remember now. Surprisingly, he wasn't in some cage or bound and gagged anywhere--he was completely free. Relatively speaking. The sky above him was that familiar blood-red he remembered oh-so-fondly from this realm. He was in an area he didn't recognize this time--some large, circular... arena? The seats were packed with various unfamiliar Reapers. He thought there were only few Reapers, what had happened? It seemed... the numbers had been bolstered under this new leadership.And sitting there in a throne in her own section was the new Reaper queen, Velora, her legs crossed as she gazed down into the arena and at her father. "Ladies and gentlemen!" She called out, her voice amplified by some unknown source. "Here today, in our recently developed arena, is the newest challenger come to play! My dear father..." She grinned. "You're familiar with this sort of place, aren't you? And these people are very familiar with you! The number one enemy of Reapers everywhere--but really, shouldn't we be thanking you? If not for your little dalliance with my dear stupid mother, Krul, I wouldn't have been born, and we would still be in the sorry state she had us in. No, it's thanks to you, my dear father, thanks to ME, that our kind is thriving! And we certainly repay our debts." That grin of hers widened. "This is a fun event, and I'm certain you'll agree. You'll participate in a gauntlet of battles against several different champions of our own, and if you manage to defeat them all, you'll be allowed free passage back to your world. You also can receive a special boon from the queen--me! Quite a generous offer, isn't it? Of course, if you lose... Well, you know how it works around here, don't you? The defeated serve the victorious. Those who lose become enslaved by those who win! And today's prize is by far the highest--Ephraim himself. The constant thorn in our side--and the one whose genes produced the best ruler the Reapers have ever had. Not that Krul had nothing to do with that, but she's produced duds before..." She chuckled to herself.Ephraim let out a soft sigh. Of course. He should've expected something like this the moment he awoke. "And I suppose I don't have a choice in the matter?""Oh, you always have a choice. You can choose to fall to your knees right now, and submit to your first opponent." The crowd erupted into laughter, apparently very amused through this entire ordeal. These were Reapers, and they expected to see something... specific today, that was for sure. "Speak of the devil and here he comes! Good luck, dear father.""You!" A male Reaper with pitch-black skin and white hair strode in, brandishing a longsword. "You're a cocky little freak, aren't you? You've thought of yourself as better than Reapers for far too long. I think it's time I put you in your place, and then I'll have my fun with you too!" He sprinted at Ephraim, rallying the crowd behind him as they let out a thunderous cheer, delivering a precise slash down towards his shoulder.Which Ephraim pivoted slightly to avoid, delivering an incredibly hard punch directly into the Reaper's face, sending him straight to the floor. The crowd immediately went dead silent."G... guh!" He covered his nose, which was now bleeding profusely. "My nose! My beautiful nose! You broke-!"And then Ephraim's boot came down, curbstomping him in the back of the skull, slamming his face against the ground below and knocking him flat. "Uh huh." Ephraim said, sounding unconvinced. He looked up at Velora. "Is this really how little you think of me?"Velora had to try to keep herself from bursting out with laughter. "Ahhehe.... I thought that might happen." That particular Reaper wasn't exactly... the most well-trained yet. Still, he was more than a match for your average human. It's just that this was a very trained and experienced human. "Don't worry, dear father. That was only round one! There's much more fun to be had...""Oh, I'm sure." Ephraim knew better than to expect every match to go that smoothly, though--that was clearly meant as a test. As though he really needed to be tested, but he didn't have SIegmund with him, so perhaps they expected him to be too weak without his sacred spear. If that was the case, they certainly expected wrong. (( OOC: ))

        "MEEEEE!! WAIT FOR MEE! I'm coming! AHH I'm not late or anything!!" Came the sound of the most ridiculous voice ever, did it sound threatening? Heck no. But the sight of the young silver-haired teenage girl coming from the dark corridor running at top speed may as well of been taken as a big joke. On her way, she even ran over the dark-skinned Reaper, planting his face painfully back into the ground as if his poor nose wasn't destroyed enough. "Oh..What was that bump? " She blinked, turning around to look at the ground where she would see the sight of a pathetic looser face-first on the ground. "Aha-haha...Oops, Did I run him over? Well! Pathetic people belong on the ground, don't they? Hee-hee..." Her gaze went on to Ephraim, as if the one on the ground was no longer a concern to her, as if he ever was to begin with! "So, all I have to do is put this one to the ground like the other, and you'll give me more power? Lots and LOTS of power? " She had a sort of deal with the Reapers, that had she beat their biggest challenge, they would help her to gain more power. Did she need it? No, was it dangerous for her unstable mind to accept even more power? Very. More so for those around her, she was already pretty terrible at keeping her demon form from killing everyone, not that she ever really tried to keep it down. Her mind was far from stable, and her thirst for power went far over her head.
"Okay, I hope your prepared to give me that power, cause i'm gonna turn this teal haired boy to red! RED! " Her words were so threatening, yet..her appearance...was not! She was completely bare footed, and only wearing a long teal green hooded jacket. Sure, she had shorts on, but the long jacket hid it so it looked like she was only really wearing that. Not a thing about her looked threatening, her eyes were not cold, her smile not dead. She was beaming as if this was her most exciting moment in all her life. It sure beat sitting in her bean bag chair in the demon tower her family acquired, spending her day drawling or writing. "Ready to fight me? I'm nothing compared to bumpy over there. You're going to feel real pain!"
And there, her innocent human girl appearance would be gone as darkness flowed out from around her body, covering it into pitch darkness, when the darkness finally vanished after a moment, Trinity was in her demon form.

We have community, friendship, love... We have all the virtues of humanity.
That is our weapon. That is our strength.
Is everyone ready? We're going to win.""Well, if it isn't..." Ephraim crossed his arms as the excited demon came charging in. Oh boy, just who he wanted to see. They had been... previously acquainted. When he had defeated her, her father, and her brother. He remembered her being the most troublesome of the bunch, though. He didn't look forward to repeating that fight without any weapon. "Do you really want to do this again? We already fought once." And at the end of that fight, Trinity swore to destroy and humiliate him next time they fought. Reasoning with her probably wouldn't have the desired outcome, but hey, worth a shot. "Don't you know what this fight is for? If someone defeats me, they become my master. That's how Reapers do things. I doubt you want that, so why not just stop here?""Stop trying to speech check your opponent!" Velora shouted at her father. "Take your beating and enslavement like a man!"Ephraim rolled his eyes. Was Velora just going through a rebellious phase? ...One that included killing and usurping her mother? "Do you plan to give me a weapon for these battles?""Bitches don't get weapons," Velora said, smirking as she leaned her head against her fist while sitting there cross-legged on her throne. "And you, dear father, are just a b***h walking on its hind legs. You'll be put in your place soon.""You're certainly your mother's daughter," Ephraim retorted without missing a beat. He turned to face Trinity as she transformed, changing to that form he recognized a lot more. "You still have the opportunity to walk away from this. It would be much more embarrassing to lose to me unarmed than it would be when I had Siegmund." That was a very valid point. He certainly wasn't underestimating her--he knew well how powerful she was--but the easiest way to win this fight would be to prevent it from happening in the first place.(( OOC: ))

   "It is me. The one who's going to REALLY enjoy taking you down, without fail! I won't lose to you this time. " She said confidently, her twisted smile returning as her mind began it's slippage of control. She definitely enjoyed losing herself for these dark powers, there was no denying that. "Hmm? Ahahaha..Why,don't you sound like you want that to happen! It sounds fun, making you my slave, getting that high class mouth dirty as I command you to eat dirt like a little piggy! Hehehehe! Such a dirty royal b***h, I would love to see you suffer and indulge in the lower forms of life." She had her chance to make all that happen, if she won here today. Yet, as badly as she swore revenge on him, to humiliate him till he begged for her to stop, she was far more focused on the power she was told about. Was it a lie? Who knew, It would take her winning to find out who to trust today.
"I don't walk away from opportunities. " That was the last words she would say, before she started to advance in the direction of Ephraim. Only to suddenly transport herself, directly behind the unaware king. His instincts and awareness were great, but could they really react fast enough to stop the fist that was now rushing toward his back? Had it hit, he would likely be thrown forward by the force of her fist, only to again transport herself where he would have hit, taking that moment to step harshly onto his leg, hoping to immobilize him a little, slowing him down would certainly help her winning chances! Had he remained there due to the pain he most certainly would be in, she would bring down her sword with full intent of stabbing through his chest right there.

Is everyone ready? We're going to win.""We'll see about that," Ephraim said certainly, tilting his head slightly. He was already attempting to recall how his battle went with her last time, what to look out for and what she was capable of. It was beginning to look like she wouldn't be backing down from this fight.
As she went on to speak about what she would force him into, and how fun she found the prospect of enslaving him, he... seemed to tense up a bit. She might notice his expression harden a bit, and he was even beginning to sweat a bit. He seemed... worried. He didn't even have some quick-witted comeback, so it seemed as though she had rather handedly won their little battle of words. He needed to focus to try to ensure victory here. She was powerful, and he was unarmed. Any wrong move could lead to defeat. And defeat could lead to much worse...
He needed to stay sharp. And right when she vanished, he immediately threw his elbow back, smashing it against her jaw as she appeared there behind him. Predictable. She had opened with a very similar attack last time they fought--teleporting behind him to try to get the upper hand immediately. That was also a favorite of Krul's. He turned along with the elbow, grabbing her by the hair and ramming his knee into her torso, before pulling her towards him and sweeping her legs out from under her, intending to put her directly on her face down in the dirt below. He wasted no time in forcing his knee against her back, grabbing her by the wrists and attempting to pin them down. He did NOT want to let this battle drag out. He didn't feel great about striking a girl so harshly, but if he wanted to win today, he would have to leave such reservations at the door. He didn't waste his breath demanding a surrender, instead he raised his fist, delivering punch after punch into the back of her skull in an attempt to knock her unconscious as quickly as possible.(( OOC: ))

Trinity tilted her head, smirking slowly. "You look so nervous suddenly. Why is that, little puppy? You clearly wanted this kidnapping to happen. Wandering around without your precious sacred spear, hoping to be taken by Krul again, or maybe all that excitement made you want more then just her? Hahaha...That pride of yours as a stupid royal won't let you admit how much you want to be their dog again. "
She was quite the talker! No matter the situation. But it was probably time to shut up and fight, that was also a lot more fun then her insults.
And her first move ended up being a mild failure, but it also was her favorite surprise attack! She probably would never stop that method, it may not of worked on him, but others, it worked very well on. The elbow to her jaw really didn't seem to have a big affect on her, after all, she had the blood of a demon flowing through her! Hurting her wouldn't be a easy task.Before he could make another move against her, she took a quick leap back, distancing herself from him to give her enough time to channel a concentrated amount of energy to her sword, he would see the darkness overtake the entire length of the sword as she raised it over her head. "Let's see how you handle this!" The beam of energy was released as she swung down her sword. Was she lucky to get a good hit in, or would they both be dodging each other's attacks until they grew tired and exhausted?

That is our weapon. That is our strength.
Is everyone ready? We're going to win."Ephraim shook his head, barely even dignifying what she said with a response--but he did respond. "You have a very bizarre idea of what it's like in my head." He wasn't exactly the sort of person who sought out to be defeated and mastered by Reapers. Had that been the case, he wouldn't have defeated them as many times as he had--he had, in fact, only lost to Krul once. The fact that a group of them had managed to successfully ambush him this time just went to show how much more capable the leadership was now. Something to keep in mind. "I suppose we'll see who's crawling like a dog when the battle is over." His composure in the face of overwhelming odds was often enough to get on his foe's nerves, and that was exactly his intention.
Unfortunately, his assault didn't go as smoothly as he had hoped, but she didn't manage to instantly counterattack. He remained on guard as he kept his eyes on his opposition. This was a dangerous match, and it would only get more dangerous the longer it went on. Her next attack was simple enough to see coming--but it also confirmed she had a projectile attack, so he didn't want to keep distance between them in any circumstance. With this in mind, he hopped to the side to dodge the wave of energy, ducking and rolling forward immediately as his feet hit the ground again, raising up to one knee in front of her and throwing out his hand. He wasn't close enough to strike her, so what was he doing? When he opened his palm that would become clear, as he threw a handful of the underfoot sand right into her eyes. He wasted no time in attempting to close the last of the distance between them, grabbing the handle of her sword and pulling it away with all his strength, while at the same time slamming his skull into hers to disorient her and lessen her grip. Had he managed to rip the sword away from her grasp, he'd slam an open palm into her gut, intending to both knock the wind out of her and force her back against the stone wall of the arena. Had all this worked, he'd close the distance yet again, thrusting the blade directly into her gut to cause her damage and pin her against the wall, and then he'd grip her throat tightly with both of his hands, choking her to attempt to cut off her air and speed her up towards unconsciousness. Ephraim was REALLY not playing around here--he couldn't exactly afford to. Not only was she a very powerful foe, she was only the second he would be facing if he managed to defeat her--so being able to conserve as much energy as he could would benefit him greatly.(( OOC: ))

As expected, Ephraim was to smart and to well skilled to let himself become hit by something that would very likely wreck his human body to no end. But it wasn't until one little secret weakness struck her directly into her eyes, a whole handful of sand! Not all demons could stand a bunch of sharp sand in the eyes, and it was more painful then anything she might of endured in any battle thus far! Poor weak eyes. "You little b***h...!!!" If his plan was to seriously enrage the very unstable demon teenage girl, well, he certain succeeded. With her eye sight compromised, her only real defense left was to summon up the lot of dark energy within her, and that she did! Her body was soon flowing with that same dark energy that seconds ago was used against him, only to fail due to missing it's target. This time, however, was much more serious, it spread out all around her body, acting like tentacles with actual form.The wavering, frantic tentacles all began to reach out for Ephraim's body, and despite his attempts to jump away and doge, he would find one managed to wrap around his ankle, and quickly began to pull him toward Trinity. In the seconds it took for it to drag him to her, his body would be completely covered by them, holding him tightly, while also causing him a great deal of pain. This was a whole lot of dark energy holding onto him. "I changed my mind...I WILL make you my slave! I'm going to hurt you, Hurt you, HURT YOU ALL DAY LONG!! " His body, while still completely held by the tentacles would slam into the ground, so that he was now on his back. Trinity lowered toward him, grabbing his hair roughly and forcing him to look at her. "Remember this face, Remember it as the one who defeated you and enslaved you all in one!"

That is our weapon. That is our strength.
Is everyone ready? We're going to win."Ephraim's somewhat underhanded tactic seemed to have the desired effect, but unfortunately he couldn't exactly account for this bizarre defense mechanism of hers. He stopped in his tracks as the tentacles appeared, beginning to shoot towards him. This was a problem; he would have issues outright overpowering her given her demonic power, but he also couldn't press the offense when she was dazed because of this. AND he had no instrument with which to combat these tentacles, not that he knew for sure they could be destroyed. He hopped backwards, stomping down onto a tentacle as it came towards his ankle, only for another to do the job and wrap around the ankle, throwing him off his feet with a hard yank. "Guh!" Beginning to be dragged across the ground, well, this wasn't ideal. His hands began to wander around on the sand, as though looking for something that could help him escape this. And given that it WAS sand, there was nowhere for his boot to grip to try to keep him from being dragged across. All his hands managed to find was more sand, which he supposed would have to do. As he came up to her, he raised his arm to retry the same trick--he didn't have many options--but that wrist was wrapped in a tentacle, and in the next moment, so was his other. "Tch!" He began to struggle and thrash in his bonds, until he was slammed against his back. "Gah!" He let out, letting out a small sigh. It didn't hurt TOO badly, but the constant pain surging into him from these bonds certainly wasn't helping the situation. He let out another grunt as she began to straddle him and gripped his hair the way she did--as though she owned him. This wasn't looking great...
The crowd was in a complete, jovial uproar, watching the one they detested be taken down so thoroughly.
"Trinity is amazing!"
"I'm her biggest fan!"
"A true ally to the Reapers!"
They all seemed to be singing her praises as loudly as possible.
"Show him who's in charge!"
"Make him eat dirt!"
"Step on his face!"
"SIT on his face!"
"Make him suck your tentacle!!"
And of course, they were also making... requests...
Ephraim groaned. "Reapers..." He muttered. Of course they'd go there. Did any Reaper ever not think about things like this? In quick motion, he slid his hands out of the gloves they had been in, freeing him momentarily from his wrist bindings, and delivered a punch directly to Trinity's jaw, as hard as he could, to try to cause her to lose focus and hopefully get the tentacles to loosen. Of course, that was a last-ditch effort, and more than likely a tentacle would rather quickly come and wrap around both his wrists now, binding them together. "Tch." He continued attempting to struggle and thrash against his bonds--if he could just create enough space to wriggle out of them, maybe he could regain the advantage. Still... it was looking bleak.(( OOC: ))
