Match of the Millennium

Description: After his encounter with the famed ninja Ryu Hayabusa, Daniel Jack has been buried deep into the leylines of Hokkaido, a corruption driving deep underneath. Slumbering, but awake. Stirring, but asleep. Trapped in the boundaries of life and death, the ex-detective has found unlikely help by the servants of Lord Dohma, who has just the ritual to raise the bound shadow. But unlikely help is found in the strangest of places, as the demoness Morrigan has found delight in the actions of Jedah's minions... and has decided to take Daniel as a plaything for herself.

[LOTUS]
Say what you want about Hokkaido. It's beautiful, scenic, in some places busy, cold.....

To Black Lotus, it's something much simpler.

BORING!

Given orders to keep tabs on Jedahs new prize, the now-monsterous Daniel Jack, she beats at a tree with a stick she cut off of it, imagining shes beating someone to death with their own arm (cause that's ALWAYS amusing!). She got bored chasing the wildlife some time ago, too.

Not far away, there is a laaaaaaaarge crack in the ground. It goes decently deep, and pulses with green energy. Inside, Mr.Jack Daniels himself is comotose for the most part, partaking in the leyline energy to restore himself. Which leads to our intrepid villainess and company being where they are. Glorified guard duty!

Annoyed by the trees lack of indication of pain (being a tree and all), she returns to the small smokeless campfire shes built, upon which a skewered squirrl is roasting nicely. At least she has dinner!

[LILITH]
What did that old book say--the dead travel fast? Well Lilith isn't sure if she was ever alive OR dead, but she certainly motors it down there with those little red wings of hers. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is nearby the recent blast zone, she realizes, the sights and scents here are quite something. It was like there was white hot electric death in the air--and it wasn't even entirely coming from the recent mass destruction!

"Oh Looootuuuus, where are you girl, we got work to do, bitch!" she cries out into the night, trying to find her. Unless something or someone finds her first!

[LOTUS]
A reply of "Over here, munchkin!" comes from Lotus as she cooks her dinner. Good as it is raw, it's actually a bit tastier with a bit of fire added.

Cause fire is ALWAYS an improvement!.... usually

Conveniently, she is more or less right below Lilith, conceled by a clever positioning of trees

[LILITH]
Lilith drops from the sky below--both her boots having melded together into one giant pendulum blade--cutting through the tree branches as she falls--finally sticking into the soft earth as she alights on the ground. Of course this means her feet are now jammed into the ground!

"Hi! One moment--mnnnrghh--" she works those petite hips furiously back and forth before she pulls one booted foot out of the ground with a flick of soil, gasping in relief as the other comes free.

"There! So where is this Jack Daniel's we must bring back to Jedah?! I guess it's about time for happy hour!"

Lilith doesn't comment on the fact she nearly almost sliced Lotus down the middle with her once bladed boots!

[LOTUS]
Meh! With what Lotus has had happen to her before, that would be a flesh would at worst!

Wouldn't be the first time she was beside herself!

HA! I made a funny....

"Daniel Jack, Jack Daniels..... yea. He's over there in the big glowing hole in the ground". She points over towards the big pit pulsing with green light, several dozen feet away. She has positioned her 'camp' to be hidden, but have full view of the site. That way she can see anyone coming or going and..... have words with them if needed.

[MORRIGAN]
Strange glowing craters aside and strange visitors, the forest out here has been relatively quiet and undisturbed. This has likely made Lotus's job fairly easy, for better or worse. Perhaps whichever interlopers responsible for sealing Daniel Jack away here have decided he can be safely forgotten. A bat flies by with a quiet flutter of its wings, cutting low near the pit.

Then there's another. And another passes shortly thereafter. Soon there's a whole flock, unnatural as that is, fluttering around near the pit. Two dark, feminine silhouettes appear in their wake, cast against the stone by the eerie flow of the leyline. They seem to dance in the glow, blurring together into one.

"It seems someone is trying to have fun without me," says Morrigan Aensland, suddenly there where she was not before. She runs her fingers through her green hair, pushing it back over her shoulder. "Hello girls. Isn't it past your bedtime? Do you have a chaperone going out this far in the woods by yourselves?"

[LILITH]
"Hark, another bat in the belfy!" the chittering gets Lilith's attention, and she quickly seems to forget about Lotus as she strides out to meet Morrigan.

"Well well well, it's the 'good' twin. You got everything about us that was dominant, and I the recessive, well what if I take them back?!" Lilith grinned wildly, her eyes glowing as her small red wings quickly morphed into what looked like bladed hands.

"This one might be a bit too big for a succubit of my petite stature--Lotus get over here! Get 'em!" she made a 'come on' motion with one of her wing hands/arms, apparently trying to signal Lotus to attack! To aid her in this fight.

[LOTUS]
Wao momma!

Looking at Morrigan, let me rephrase. Wao Mommas!

She has really pretty eyes! What? What did you THINK i was talking about?!

Stepping over to stand next to Lilith, Lotus flips her daggers into her hands with a biiiig grin "Oh YAY! Something to relieve the boredom!". She doesn't catch the whole 'recessive' part. She doesn't know the pairs history.

Oh well!

"Clearly you have no idea what i do to chaperones, but thanks for volunteering!".

[MORRIGAN]
Morrigan's eyes narrow as they fall on Lilith. "Oh, dear, you give me too much credit. Good, hah!" Morrigan leisurely steps forward, her heeled boots sinking slightly into the wet earth, but not naturally. She walks with an unnatural lightness for someone of her build and stature. "Unless you mean quality. I am of excellent stock and upbringing." Morrigan smiles wryly as she runs a hand across her cheek.

"I do see that you've made some friends though, or at least Lord Dohma was kind of enough to provide you with an attendant."

Morrigan strokes her chin with her index finger, her attention shifting to Lotus, whom she watches like the cat eyeing the canary.

"And who might you be? One of Jedah's followers? Whatever the case..." Morrigan stretches, reaching up over her head with both arms and lacing her fingers through each other. Her wings unfurl as she does, stretching to their full span.% r
"A chaperone, is it? Well then, let me establish some ground rules."

Morrigan's wings are suddenly gone, scurrying along her body like ink flowing across a canvas. They reshape into a great, jagged claw, which then shoots out toward Lotus in an unnatural stretch.

"The one buried here is strictly off limits. No exceptions!"

COMBATSYS: Lotus blocks Morrigan's Breast Anguish.

[LOTUS]
With unnatural speed, Lotus brings her arms up, guarding cleanly against the claw. It leaves ragged scratches in her arms that bleed freely, but she doesn't even seem to care. The bleeding has stopped almost as soon as the attack finished, the wounds starting to heal already "Aw, c'mon! Your BORING me already! Besides, *I* can do that TOO!". Quickly closing the distance, instead of using her daggers, Lotus brings up her hands, more specificly the sharpened metal finger-guards worn on several of them!

It is with these that she SCRAAAAAAAAATCHES at Morrigan, not caring what part of her she manages to get: the arms or the torso!

[LILITH]
"In more ways than one!" Lilith zooms forward, and her wing arm shifts into what looks like a pendulum blade that is 'punched' right towards her, the thick weighty blade excelling forward like it was shot out of a cannon--or a sledgehammer that's swung with full force directly at someone--trying to take advantage of the fact Morrigan is busy trying to murder Lotus!

"C'mon Sis! Keep on those stiletto heeled boots of yours, hyuck!" she gleefully tries to skewer Morrigan!

[MORRIGAN]
The claw grasps at Lotus, raking the skin but failing to leave a lasting mark. It snaps back as quickly as it can, winding back toward Morrigan like a snake slithering through the grass. In the blink of an eye, Morrigan's wings have reformed once more.

"Just in time, in fact, for Morrigan to use them in her own defense. Aensland's eyes follow the flash of metal in the pale moonlight, and she suddenly moves, stepping to the side in an almost blurlike motion.

"Oh, I'm certain," Morrigan says to Lotus, watching her carefully with a hint of curiosity. "Boring, hmm? Well, we'll see about that. I think that I can be rather ~exciting~ when I want to be."

And then Lilith swings out with a great bladewing, aiming to cleave into Morrigan's face. The elder succubus bends backward, the blade brushing through the very edges of her feathery bustier.

But Morrigan keeps bending, her leg snapping up as she drops back like a dancer held in the arms of her partner--albeit Morrigan has none, yet remains upright through unnatural means. Lilith, however, may have more trouble doing so by the time Morrigan tries to kick her in the jaw.

"Oh, these?" she asks Lilith. "I do adore them. Do you want a closer look?"

[LILITH]
"Goddamnit! You'd think they'd be easier to hit with that big a target!" Lilith winces in concern as her bladed wing-arm meets only air, coming just a hair's breadth away from the feathery portions of Morrigan's top. She pulls her wing arm back just in time to form a shield as Morrigan's boot comes up and tries to tear across her. She can feel the cutting edge of Morrigan's boot cut into her wing shield, pushing her back--but she keeps her ground, boots slapping into the soft earth.

"Time for a bit of the good old succubus magic!" she forms her glowing green tiny bat projectile--surging it outward toward Morrigan now at close ranged--it's ringed with pretty pink hearts!

[LOTUS]
Lotus does her best to keep on Morrigan and not give the chest-heavy succubus room to manuever wherever possible! The knives come up, and Lotus swings them in a flurry of strikes at Morrigan, careful to not hit her partner as she flanks the target "Save that for the room afterwards if you two wanna do that! For now i have to ask you to leave, or risk becoming a pin-cushion! Not that THAT wouldn't be fun!

[MORRIGAN]
Morrigan completes her backbend, transitioning into a full-flip but hovering slightly over the ground at its end. She floats backward, bobbing and weaving with each of Lotus's strikes to stay one step ahead. "Oh, I understand now, you're some sort of sadist, aren't you? Jedah did seem to have a bit of a love of blood..." Morrigan suddenly kicks off the air, floating away from Lotus and widening the gap.

But then Lilith launches a bat at her, its glimmering form made of something not entirely natural. Morrigan smiles to herself. "Oh, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, Lilith dear!" Morrigan snaps her own fist forward, bracing it with her other hand, then fires a bright orange bat of her own that flutters through the air--

Then reshapes into a great maw, swallowing up Lilith's own projectile and continuing toward the other succubus.

[LOTUS]
Electric Chuckles Lotus says, "shes used some reserve, which without analysis might appear as damage to the total health bar."

With a feral grin, Lotus flicks a long, nasty-looking stiletto into her hands "Not gonna get away THAT easily!". Before beginning to move towards Morrigan once more, she throws the pointy weapon at said target! "Sticks and stones, love! Sticks and stones!". She makes sure to use a mock british accent while saying this!

[LILITH]
"Gotta get the lead out here--buwah!?" Lilith finds her own fireball being eaten by Morrigan's and suddenly she's hit full force with the soul fist as it screeches toward her, knocking her back and into a spin.

"Bluh..." she smokes, looking up again, her form charred--then shakes her head and gets back into the fight. It was like throwing ping pong balls at a brick wall, but she wasn't going to give up yet! She dashed back toward Morrigan, her wing arms forming into long spears--trying to skewer her in a sliding fierce attack!

COMBATSYS: Morrigan just-defends Lotus' Pinprick!

[MORRIGAN]
"Oh," Morrigan says almost boredly, "you have knives too!" She draws back out of her firing stance, turning to face the crazed killer head-on. She shifts into an unfamiliar fighting stance, looking ready to parry the blow with something that resembles some sort of unusual kung fu.

But then her wing snaps forward, connecting with the blade. Rather than being punctured, the clash sounds like steel against steel, Morrigan's wing repelling the strike. "Oh, an English bit too? I'll admit the accent is a bit funny," Morrigan says, her own Scottish tinge slipping through.

But then. Lilith capitalizes on the opening. Morrigan bobs and weaves around the spears, trying to evade--but one catches her along the cheek, drawing blood--or something like it. Morrigan's bored expression creeps into something more sinister and wicked.

"Oh, we are getting serious now, aren't we dear sister?" Morrigan's aura surges, gold and green arcane energy briefly crackling along the surface of her skin.

But then she darts under Lilith, sweeping around her and zooming toward Lotus. The succubus reaches forward to wrap her arms around the other woman, aiming to squeeze her tightly. When she does?

Morrigan's wings reshape, blue rocket thrust shooting out from them as she tries to take Lotus high up into the air, turn, invert them both, then spin the other woman down in the headlong dive of a spinning piledriver.

"Still bored?" she asks, coyly.

[LOTUS]
Lotus is unprepared for Morrigan rushing at her, and is grabbed cleanly! As they climb up into the air, and turn into the descent, she smirks "Sorry hun, but you're not my type!". With a quick squirm, she breaks out of the hold and flips to land on her feet! While she escapes being slammed into the ground, she lands poorly, and the strain of the impact, and her recovering from the landing by pushing back, massively strains tendons in her legs and feet, as well as causing a slight muscle tear.

With her legs quivering for the moment, Lotus watches Morrigan, trying to find a way to connect through that impressive speed......

COMBATSYS: Lotus focuses on her next action.

[LILITH]
"I sure hope Jedah is glad we're doing this," Lilith seems like she's starting to feel tired already fighting Morrigan. It was like trying to fight an opponent that was too insubstantial to sustain blows--and that was coming from her, also a Succubus! But she was still in this.

"C'mon sister! you spin me right round baby right round! Bwahahah!" her red wing arms form into blades as she twirls through the air towards Morrigan, spinning like a top!

[MORRIGAN]
Lotus slips out of Morrigan's grasp, prompting the succubus to snap her fingers. She breaks out of the dive at the last moment, flipping through the air in a full spin to land on her feet once again.

"Oh, you are slippery," Morrigan says. "But I think you'll change your mind on who's your type. Most do!" Morrigan says with wicked smile.

But then Morrigan turns a little too late, having been too focused on Lotus. Lilith crashes into her in a spin, knocking the older succubus back as Lilith's boot collides with her chin. She spits a bit of blood onto the ground, which evaporates into smoke.

"Oh," Morrigan says, gritting her teeth. "You two are persistent. Let me see if I can remedy that."

Morrigan suddenly flies toward Lilith's back, swinging out with a powerful right cross aiming to catch her in the back.

But Morrigan is also still in front of Lilith, mimicking the same motion. The two Morrigans unleash a flurry of blows. Punches, kicks, knee strikes, and even strikes with her hair--jagged and sharp as steel--before both Morrigan's flip backward into upward somersault kicks that trail that phantasmal energy before.

And then the second Morrigan snaps back, crashing into the original and fading as quickly as she appeared.

[LILITH]
"Oh god--one of her was bad already!" Lilith shrieks as Morrigan begins her darkness illusion attack--then splits into a multitude of bats which flutter away from her deadly pincer attack--and then reforms elsewhere on the soggy earth, gasping and panting.

"Holy crap--Lotus--Lotus--where are you--" she sounds not only super drained of energy but also terrified. She has to take a moment to recollect herself!

Seeing Lilith turn into a swarm of bats, this leaves Morrigan wide open and visible! When her clone vanishes, Lotus makes her move!

With a SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE she LEAPS headlong at Morrigan, knives raised and with a feral grin showing the fangs clearly! She attempts to stab the knives into Morrigan (clearly), and use them to hold on and keep 'attached' while she follows up with whatever she sees fit!

[MORRIGAN]
Morrigan's brow furrows as she unleashes a furious combo at Lilith. Her blows often narrowly miss the younger succubus, the two Morrigans instead clashing against each other with jarring force. Eventually, Lilith vanishes in a flash, slipping away. Morrigan bites her lip.

And then Lotus descends on her, launching at Morrigan with knives drawn. Morrigan turns and guards, bringing up both arms in a cross block as the knives sink into her left arm.

"Oh," Morrigan snarls. "You're out for blood now, are you? Let's see if we can find some."

Morrigan pivots on her hip, her muscles tensing and bulging as dark power pumps through her. She swings toward Lotus with a strong haymaker, intending to punch into her assailant with bone-rattling force.

[LOTUS]
With a blur of motion as equally inhuman as Morrigans own have been, Lotus corrects her angle, and twists herself in mid-air into a spin to maintain position abruptly. The blow flys beneath her by a hair, and as she lands, she swings both weapons low at Morrigans stomach, attempting to potentially disembowel, or at least REALLY badly cut, the succubuses lower abdoman! "NOW you're talkin my language!"

[LILITH]
"Phew, c'mon then sister--maybe you can bleed after all!" Lilith pulls herself back up and into the fight, trying to grab Morrigan and throw her against a tree in the middle of this madness--though it's hard to see /how/ she can try to manage to do so, with those scrawny wing-arms of hers--which are the bits that stretch out to try and grab her! It's like watching a cartoony sort of effect, really. Succubi and such creatures didn't adhere to the standard rules of reality or physics!

Morrigan flaps her wings, stirring up dust and grass as she floats backward in a great rush, Lotus's blades sliding along Morrigan's leotard but failing to find a purchase in her skin. Morrigan's demeanor shifts again as Lilith picks her up in those wing hands and lifts her into the air. Before she can throw, however, Morrigan smiles.

"Oh, dear," she says, still slightly venomous. "Throwing, Lilith? That's dangerous busines. You have to watch the landing, you know."

Morrigan's tossed, but curves up, going straight above instead of into a tree as intended.

Instead she drops back down like a stone, descending toward Lilith rump first, pulling her wings out like she were diving into a pool.

"Look out below!"

As Morrigan lances down towards Lilith, Lotus leaps once more into the air at the succubus, launching a kick at her chest! It is, after all, the biggest target on her!

Hey, paybacks a bitch, amiright?

[LILITH]
Lilith finds herself crushed under the ten ton weight of the Morribuns! She's cartoonishly squished flat for a moment--before popping back into shape, trying like hell to scramble out from beneath her!

"Jeez sis couldn't you eat a few less people!?" Lilith's weepy eyed at the pain, finally pulling herself out with the sound of a cork being pulled out of a bottle--whipping around with one of her wings now formed into a giant blade--trying to slash upward and rake it across Morrigan!

"No," Morrigan tells Lilith flatly, shifting slightly as the succubus scrambles away. Morrigan leisurely floats to her feet, crossing her arms hovering in place. The blade snaps around for her, but Morrigan leans back and away to let it cut through the air in front of her face.

And then Lotus comes in with a power kick aimed at Morrigan's chest. For a moment, Morrigan seems ready to take it head on, regardless of consequence. As the kick nears, however, she springs back, outpacing Lotus's descent just enough to avoid the blow entirely. As she withdraws, Morrigan's aura surges again, tremendous power bubbling up inside her.

And then swings an uppercut at Lotus, a wing blade shaping around her forearm like a scythe. She does this even though she's not close enough to reach, clearly falling short of her goal.

Or so it seems, at least, until a series of Morrigan clones erupt from the ground in a line, all mimicking Morrigan's own shadow bladed uppercut.

[LILITH]
"Damnit, Lotus--try to avoid her! Gah, she's so big--okay, showtime!" Lilith then musters a huge surge of energy--a doppleganger like clone of herself splitting from her body and imitating her actions as she hops at Morrigan and attempts to unleash a combo of bladed boot and wing spear strikes! Each time she moves--her hallucinatory clone mimics her like a puppet, which Lilith herself was one step away from being herself! Guess she had affinity for such beings?

[LOTUS]
Unfortunately for Lotus, she's already committed, and has no purchase at such speeds to react! As the Morrigan clones erupt from below, she is slices up neatly by several wing-blades, leaving deep, profusely bleeding gashes in her body!

As she lands from the missed attack, she turns to look at Morrigan, grinning from ear to ear with eyes wide! Greenish saliva begins to drip from between her teeth and down her chin, and with a disgusting gagging sound, she vomits a frothing greenish cloud at Morrigan!

[MORRIGAN]
Morrigan says, "Ow."

Morrigan bobs and weaves through the volley from the two Liliths, ducking under, floating over, and weaving left and right. As Lilith starts to wear herself out, Morrigan soon finds herself face to face with Lotus, who begins to froth. Morrigan stares unblinking for a moment, but lingers too long. Toxic miasma sprays into her face, causing Morrigan to cough and gag as she floats backward.

As she gets a breather, Morrigan looks up at Lotus, eyes red.

"I think," Morrigan hisses, "I've wasted too much time. Let's kick things up a bit, shall we?" Morrigan powers toward, her wings splitting like thread and then rewaving into a great set of spears. The first one thrusts at Lotus' midsection, then the second goes for her chest.

"Bwuh, I gotta get it together," Lilith stares blearily as Morrigan is able to maneuver away from her and her doppleganger--which fizzles out a bit later, disappearing. "I hate being the little sister," she sighs, before trying to launch herself at Morrigan again and turn her boot into a large blade--trying for a flying, guillotine kick!

[LOTUS]
Lotus pulls the same trick Morrigan did earlier, dodging and weaving between the lancing spears as if she was water flowing into another shape!

As she closes, she attacks with a leaping kick, aiming for Morrigans face!

[MORRIGAN]
Morrigan shows fangs when Lotus weaves through her spears, but the wings go limb as she the counterattack begins. Morrigan draws back ducking beneath the boot as her wing-spears wind back up and reshape into wings once more.

"Aw," Morrigan says to Lilith as the blade whooshes past her head close enough to take some of Morrigan's hair. "Let me share a little power with you, then."

Morrigan's swings reshape once more, molding into a sharp, needle-like blade. She thrusts it toward Lilith, trying to spear her with it...and then pumping power through her, Morrigan's aura rippling around them both.

It is not nearly as helpful as Morrigan made it out to be!

[LILITH]
"GAHH!" Lilith finds herself impaled by that huge lancing needle--or rather pushed back by it into a tree where she's more or less speared into it, like a fish. Ow.

"Guh... I'll get you eventually, sis, and when I do, that body will be ~mine~," she looked up drearily, then her entire body glowed and she began to split into a huge swarm of greenish-white energy bats--which began to swarm towards Morrigan before dispersing! holy heck watch out!

[LOTUS]
As Lilith makes her attack at Morrigan, Lotus moves in, using the swarm as cover! Like a shadow blurring in, she gets in close and attempts to sink her fangs into Morrigans throat! If successful, she injects a very potent poisin into Morrigans body before leaping away!

[MORRIGAN]
Morrigan closes her wings around and spins upward, flying clear of the bat horde as Lilith takes flight. "I'll come looking for you later," Morrigan says, as she goes. "Don't you worry~"

But while her attention is elsewhere, Lotus descends on Morrigan, sinking her fangs into the succubus' throat!

Partly. Morrigan tenses, her body warping as it did before and becoming denser, more durable than before. The fangs find purchase, but not with the depth or power Lotus may expect.

"Oh," Morrigan says, "Why didn't you tell me you wanted a kiss? I'd be happy to oblige..."

Morrigan chases Lotus, zooming in and reaching to try and wrap her arms around the smaller woman, if she does, Morrigan displays horrendous strength, pulling Lotus in close.

"...or I would, if you didn't bite on the first date. That's strictly second date material! I should know," Morrigan transitions into a German suplex, aiming to slam Lotus headfirst into the ground.

"I'm a chaperone!"

Still as slippery as ever, Lotus squirms out of the way, Morrigan grabbing only empty air!

With a crazed grin, she turns on her heels and goes in hot, trying to stab Morrigan deeply with both knives with all her might!

Morrigan frowns when she her grab goes wide, her wings whipping around to try and catch Lotus as she slips away.

And then, Morrigan looks up to find Lotus on the move again, diving down on her with a pair of knives. One embeds itself deeply in Morrigan's left breast, the other stabbing into her stomach. Morrigan howls, reeling in pain as the knives sink in.

Morrigan's headwings go flat, her eyes turning red once. "Oh, you -are- persistent," Morrigan rumbles, despite the blades shoved into her body. Her wings wrap around behind her, shifting into rocket boosters once more. They rumble with energy as Morrigan's aura gloves again, pouring off of her like a corona.

And then the rockets fire, Morrigan shooting forward and aiming to smash into Lotus, carrying her backward like a rocket as they crash right into a tree --and likely through it.

[LOTUS]
BOOM! Lotus is impacted, her attempt to dodge failing her due to all the damage her body has taken....

Ribs and a few vertibre snap and pop as Lotus is rammed through a tree, which falls to the ground with a crash! She still seems aware and as unnerving as ever, her body rocking with the impact(s), but seeming to not care as she whips her daggers up and tries to stab both into Morrigans back, spaced very close together to make for maximum damage!

[MORRIGAN]
Morrigan continues to fly, driving Lotus forward. The anger fades again as she seems reinvigorated by the fight, at least somewhat. She's still stuck with knives and losing whatever serves as blood for a being like Morrigan. Lotus pulls them back out and Morrigan's wounds start to close up, if slightly, the succubus continuing to fight at a point far past most mortals' capabilities.

Lotus's knives go for Morrigan's back, but her hands and wings are occupied. She looks at Lotus, narrows her eyes, and speaks.

"I think this is your stop," Morrigan says playfully, crashing with a...rather bouncy bodyslam right as she applies the brakes.

There is a sickening CRUNCH as the bodyslam impacts, and Lotuses ribcage is crushed inwards even further. Shes delirious now, giggling to herself as blood oozes from numberous inuries, including her lips. As Morrigan stops at the completion of the impact to change motions, Lotus whips out a small knife and throws it at her! Cause the giggles told her too!

Morrigan spreads her wings, hovering for a moment. "I must say," she says, with labored breathing. "Jedah has found himself a fine minion," Morrigan says, eyeing Lotus for several moments. "Persistent, vicious, willing to follow orders..."

The knife flies out. Morrigan tilts her head, letting it whiz by and embed itself in a tree.

"It would be charming, were it not so annoying. I have no need for perfect little soldiers, nor maniacs."

Morrigan thrusts her hand forward, her wing whipping around and threading itself into a pendulum like blade.

CHUNK!

The pendulum blade impacts Lotus in the midsection cleanly, nearly bisecting her. She grins nontheless, that feral, insane look in her eyes "Teeheeeeeeeeheee!". With lightening speed, while Morrigans wings are busy, she throws about a dozen knives, tips poisoned, three at a time at Morrigan!

Hit or miss, the expectation being that Morrigan will pull the pendulum back to guard herself with the wings, Lotus will bolt for it, making good her escape to recover, leaving a very bloody trail behind her!

Morrigan does indeed block, drawing her wings back in a great cloak to stop the knives. Most of them smash into her wings, but a few slip through and stick into her skin, drawing out another hiss from Morrigan.

But as Lotus withdraws, Morrigan approaches her original objective--the glowing pit where Daniel Jack rests.

"Oh...I do hope that you are worth the trouble, Morrigan says, pulling a knife from her leg.
