Match of the Millennium

Description: Aranha follows up on information learned during one of the Slamfest fights he had participated in. Rage buttons are pressed and fighting ensues.

[LILITH]
Lilith was sleazing around Metro City again, as she is wont to do--there is a lot of people there, to be fair, and it has a lot to see--well, when the nation isn't worrying about lockdowns and other such shenanigans. Alas, due to the scarcity of people, it has gotten a little bit more challenging to find 'fun', which for Lilith was usually creepazoids or predators which served to be good sport--which has forced her to rethink her plans a little.

"So boring... did they think they were immortal, or some shit, afraid of a damn cough," Lilith sighed as she lounged atop what looked like a gym's rooftop, half-hanging over the edge of it like a cat that's lazing about, on the sill of a windowsill on a sunny day. However it's neither sunny, warm out here, as it's likely a few hours after the sun has gone down. Of course, the night creature's time has come--which makes it logical to find things like vampires or succubi about. And apparently Metro is as good as any.

[ARANHA]
Even with the reduced activity, there were still enough eyes around to give him information about a certain succubus hanging around. After some information received during one of his Slamfest matches he found some troubling information. A team mate during one of his bouts had been transformed from human to darkstalker. After his run-ins with Dr. Tessitore aka the Fendi Freakshow transformations without consent was a bit of a sore point for him.

He leaps from a neighboring building and lands onto the gym rooftop, dropping into a roll upon touching down. At this point, he was probably durable enough that he wouldn't need to roll after jumping from that height but it was habit from when he was still human.

"Looks kinda like Morrigan but not quite. Also carries herself differently. Hmm... I have questions, and I'm pretty sure you have answers."

He stands up, bringing himself from the three point position. He steps back blading his body to present a smaller target and rests his chin on his right hand while the attached elbow rests on his left hand, keeping him guarded while not being aggressive.

[LILITH]
"Difference between me and sis is, I don't break the floor I'm standing on, typically," Lilith looks up from where she's got her chin resting on her folded arms, hanging half-off the edge of the roof's edge. She slowly pulls herself up and swings her nylon-clad legs and booted feet out, the obvious bat imprint on her tights visible as her high heeled boots dangle beneath her.

"That's why they consider her an 'underground' fighter, she always winds up landing in the basement, ha-ha!" Lilith cackles, then peers down at Aranha.

"I'm Lilith, but I don't know if I have answers for you, studly--what do you wanna know?" she asks, tilting her head.

[ARANHA]
Aranha raises a brow at the fat jokes, not exactly expecting that. "Ahh... Sisters. That explains a lot." He chooses to blatantly ignore the jabs since it doesn't help him ask questions and honestly he held no ill will to the green haired succubus. The one in front of him, different matter altogether

"So have you met this woman before?"

He holds up his phone showing a picture of Sophia before he continues. "She seemed to be quite familiar with you."

[LILITH]
Anyone can see the body shape difference between the two is like night and day. Morrigan is curvy, full-figured--and Lilith is lithe and slender, like a young teenaged girl. And decidedly /not/ any of those things.

"Sisters, yeah--something like that, we tried to keep her away from the buffets, but--" Lilith is distracted in mid-sentence of lambasting her 'other half' when she's presented with the picture of Sophia. It... rings a bell, but she's not sure exactly who that is, again.

"Uhhh... I think? What was her name?" Lilith has to really think about it.

"Ohhhhh--right, the snek--yeah, her, she was kind of an annoying, nosy one, why?" she seems to be really casual about it.

[ARANHA]
"Yes. The snek. She seemed to be of the impression that you were the one turned her into what she is right now."

The phone is quickly stowed and then he paces back and forth on the rooftop before glancing at the succubus once more. He doesn't have proof of wrong doing so he is holding off on any aggressive movements but a bit of annoyance at how blase Lilith is behaving in reference to the lamia transformation can seen on his face.

"Is that correct? And if so, why did you turn her into that?"

[LILITH]
"Maaaaybe, it could have happened," Lilith looked down at the man still, her red high heeled boots swaying back and forth as she dangled her feet, carefree.

"She kept trying to follow darkstalkers around and kept annoying them, something was going to happen eventually--either she'd get eaten or attacked by one, or maybe one would steal her body or shape, or whatever," Lilith waves it off.

"She was really obsessed with Darkstalkers and wouldn't leave us alone, so, I decided to give her what she wanted," Lilith gestured in the air, as in 'there ya go'. "I mean, she knows what it's like now, right? It's a good moral lesson, I think," she shrugged.

[ARANHA]
As Lilith explains what happened, Aranha is quiet. If she's willing to talk, he's willing to listen. Yes. Bothering the darkstalkers and harassing them. Understandable that they would want to be left alone. He would understand them attacking her. Eating... Well... That was more questionable. Body theft. That kinda irked him on a different level due to him placing a high value on personal freedom. The one that Lilith openly admits to is as much of a sore spot for him as well due to his sister getting transformed as an attempt to keep him in Metro City by Tessitore so he could claim his prize for the Unholy Genesis tournament. It became an more of a sore spot when the same Tessitore transformed him as her final act when he went to pursue her upon finding out that she was on Shang Tsung's island.

He brings an index finger to his shades and lowers it to the bridge of his nose and revealing glowing blue eyes. His lips curl into a frown. He can feel a fury building up inside of him. He steps forwards to the succubus and opens his mouth.

There are so many things he wants to say in his rage. Unfortunately nothing comes out beyond, "RRRAGGH!" That is precursor to bringing a hand across her face. It's not the glowing, chi enhanced pimp smack from hell though.

COMBATSYS: Lilith blocks Aranha's Improvised Smack.

[LILITH]
"Ahhh!" Lilith shouts in surprise as the pimp-slap comes out--bringing up one of her wings--which formed into a fist--just quick enough to try and block the hit from knocking her silly!

"W-woah woah--hold on there, tall dark and gruesome, you some kind of lamia fanboy, or something?!" Lilith hops down from the rooftop as she moves to defend herself, now being pulled into a fight.

"You can't turn me out, you don't even got the hat--nyargh!" she clenches teeth and brings one of her red wings formed into an arm and fist down hard onto the asphault around Aranha, trying to smash them!

COMBATSYS: Aranha blocks Lilith's Quick Smash.

[ARANHA]
As his hand glances off the red wing, he lets out a slightly annoyed grunt before saying, "No. Forced darkstalker transformation is something that pushes my rage button."

As the red wing forms into a fist, the capoeirista shifts his weight away as he spins. His guarding hand deflects the winged smash to the side creating a crack in the rooftop right next to where he was standing. He continues the spinning motion, using it to generate momentum for a chi enhanced roundhouse kick, followed by a chi enhanced jumping roundhouse kick, and with the momentum of the second kick to rotate him just so his back was turned for an instant right before he flips backwards to deliver the final chi enhanced kick, slamming it down upon the succubus' head.

COMBATSYS: Aranha successfully hits Lilith with Aggressive Dance.
Grazing Hit

[LILITH]
"Oh, well that's dumb," Lilith frowned and didn't look pleased at all, apparently she didn't think Aranha should muscle in on this business. Lilith's large over-sized wing-hand smashes down into the stone, crushing into it and sending chips flying--but does not connect cleanly with her assailant.

"Why don'tcha mind your own--hnnngh!" Lilith has to sidestep out of the way nearly faster than one can see, a large slash appearing on her cheek where the kick connected, cutting into her skin and sending droplets of red blood falling to the stone.

"Owww--alright, if you wanna scrap, lets get to it big boy--" she whirls and her wings both turn into swinging pendulum blades, swirling right toward him as she angles herself closer and turns, bringing them flying toward Aranha!

COMBATSYS: Lilith successfully hits Aranha with Murder Go Round.
- Power hit! -

[ARANHA]
"Because for all intents and purposes, you..."

He cuts his thought short as whirling wing blades catch him in the chest, punishing him for his aggressiveness and for the fact that he decided to open his mouth. Though the wound in his chest was pretty nasty, the wounds slowly(much more slowly than he would like) were beginning to close at a rate.

"Because you essentially violated her by transforming her just like I didn't agree to being transformed into this... All because I happened to 'win' a tournament."

He runs to the raised edge of the rooftop and bounds off of it in order to deliver a kick to the succubus' head.

COMBATSYS: Lilith dodges Aranha's Sky's the Limit.

[LILITH]
"She was gonna get herself hurt somehow, eventually--and I do what I want," Lilith slices through Aranha's midsection with the whirling blades--her wing arms reforming behind her as wings just as Aranha jumps down with a drop-kick--which she zooms away from, her wings flapping!

"Y'missed!" Lilith is even childish enough to stick her thumbs in her ears with her fingers splayed out, sticking her tongue out at Aranha as well, mocking them.

"That /did/ look like it hurt though, and your blood tastes might fine," she licks some red that seems to have wound up on the back of her hand. Probably from cutting into Aranha just now. "You /are/ a darkstalker, too, you're not kidding," she reaches for him with one large over-sized red wing hand, trying to snatch him up with it.

"You sure you don't wanna quit this BS and go somewhere for something to eat instead? You look pretty cute~" she would then try to toss him a little--possibly into a nearby old parked car.

COMBATSYS: Aranha fails to interrupt Dismissive Toss from Lilith with Dead Man's Hand ES.

Aranha           1/-------/=======|=======\-------\0           Lilith

[ARANHA]
The traceur had moved a little bit slower than he was capable of moving in an attempt to get her to reposition herself on his terms. It was a double edged sword though because she while she moved how he wanted her to exactly where he wanted her, she moved just a little faster than he wanted her to move.

He steps in as he can see her wing once again forming into a giant hand. He winds up with that blue glowing hand, and gets flung way before he could connect with the chi pimp slap from hell. He ends up getting flung off of the roof and hits a sports car setting off an annoying alarm before rolling off and onto his feet.

While on the street, he's quietly seething, seeming to be more annoyed than actually hurt from getting tossed off.

[LILITH]
"Looks like someone took a little spill there--let me help you up~" Lilith hops down and closer to where Aranha wound up in the street, trying to instead grab him up with both wings formed into giant hands--trying to pick him up, dangling from one of them--as she attempts to slide him into the 'string' of another that's formed into a giant bow on the other side of her.

"Can you fly, Bobby?" she grins, looking up at the man, having to get down and kneel in the street to compensate for the weight of the man she's lifted above her without falling over--should she succed, she's going to 'fire' him like an arrow all the down down the street!

COMBATSYS: Lilith successfully hits Aranha with Mystic Arrow.

Aranha           1/------=/=======|=======\-------\1           Lilith

[ARANHA]
This is a first for the traceur/capoeirista. He has never been a human arrow before. Try as he might to get away from those giant wing hands, he just can't seem to escape. The bow is drawn and released and Aranha finds him getting fired in an arc for about five blocks before hitting the ground in a skid.

With a pained expression in his face he rises to feet. The Dancing Spider turns back to where the succubus was. He still wanted to get his hands on her and wring her neck but he was too far away to continue the fight.

COMBATSYS: Aranha decides that discretion is the better part of valor.

[LILITH]
"Whoops--I guess I'll catch ya later, I'm gonna go have a pizza! Peace!" Lilith didn't /mean/ to fling Aranha all the way down the street like that, but welp... it is done. Though at least now it means the Succubit can go along her merry way. She'll likely run into that Man Spider again, if she's lucky.

She doesn't seem to be too worked up or vengeful about any of this, is the absurd thing--for Lilith, people coming out of nowhere and trying to kill her for violating or transforming people is... Tuesday.

COMBATSYS: Lilith has ended the fight here.
