Description: HAI HOOO HAI HOOO IT'S OF TO PACIFIC WE GO, TO FIGHT MARISOL BLOW FOR BLOW HI HOOO HI HOOO ( NOTE: Blows not really exchanged.. unless you count One handed! )
There's been a recent rash of 'attacks' at the varying schools. Taiyo may report one, Gedo may as well. Justice might not.. Justice's was more of a scouting than a full blown attack. Gedo deserved it. So did Taiyo..
But does Pacific High deserve such a fate?!
All sources point to .. YES! Yes it does. And that's why there's a nurse somewhat skipping into the elite school, holding onto a medkit with an odd bag on her back for other medical supplies. Oddly enough .. there's got to be a slight bit of blood, but a nurse with blood isn't that uncommon. The clothing is dry cleaned! So it's completely.. almost not there.
But what might be odd is that she's never been seen in Pacific before.. and is heading towards what looks like to be the main building.. or seemed she did at one point.
Because Aprile now stays in the center of the campus, closer to the buildings than the beach.
Why does she wait out in the open, dressed as a nurse, looking like she's lost?
.. It's worked so far!
The recent rash of attacks across Southtown's various prestigious campuses have not gone unnoticed by others. The rumormill has been churning like crazy, students - both fighters and those who do not, as well as faculty - expressing mixed feelings for the occurrences. Some think it's exciting, and adds a thrill of danger to an otherwise dull school life. Others are scared and fear for their well-being.
And then you have those like Marisol, who are itching for it to happen to Pacific. Why?
So she can fight someone new.
Midday, and campus is abuzz with activity. Students drift between classes, hurrying from one to the next with books in hand, while some just take their sweet time. Marisol, on the other hand, has opted to simply camp out in the boughs of an ancient oak, long arms folded neatly behind her head as she reclines on a thick branch. With one leg dangling freely off the thick limb, the girl just stares at the cerulean skies, watching fluffy white clouds slowly and lazily drift by. It's a good day...
For a nap. Who needs academia?
Minutes pass, and soon the courtyard begins to die in activity - save for one warm body. Standing out like a sore thumb in her nurse attire, as well as skipping along in a weird fashion, she makes a scene, despite how bare her audience may be. And then she stops. Lost?
"...tch." Hooding smoky gray eyes, Marisol eyes the woman in the courtyard, absently gnawing on her lip from her tree perch. Should she help the lady? She seems nice enough, and is probably clueless as all hell. Plus it wouldn't hurt to get a few positive karma points...
With a 'thud' of sneakers on thick grass, the half-Spaniard girl drops from the tree, slowly rising before she saunters toward the mysterious lost nurse. "Hey, lady?" the girl calls as she approaches. "Uh, do you need help or something? Hospital is that way." Marisol jerks a thumb over her shoulder toward downtown proper.
It was easy enough, to a point, to fit in with the swarm of students mulling about. But sticking out like a sore thumb is good too.. infact, she'd rather end up alone.. the less paying attention means the less that will come .. and the less that will notice that she isn't just a straight nurse!
Of course, that part comes later!
But with the center growing bare and the students vanishing, Aprile takes more than a moment to wonder just what's going on. She's alone out here! .. That's not supposed to happen! this way, that way, else way the heeled, large skirted nurse peers, really looking lost, but staying to the path, on the sidewalk.
And then Marisol, the half Spaniard rises towards her.. the Italian turns towards Marisol, beaming. "Oh! Hello!" Marisol's certainly not trying to be nice like a few others have. "Oh really.. it's over there? .. I was wondering about an internship as a nurse here... Gedo was a bit rough from what I had dealt with.. Oh some of them were just ruffians." She exclaims, one hand holding the medkit the other batting the air. "But I'm sure I'd fit in here instead..."
"Do you think this would be a good place to practice?"
If the nurse wants to stand out, she certainly does. After all, Pacific already has its own on-duty nurse to tend to students (as well as the occasional faculty member) who may happen to hurt themselves. But a travelling nurse? You really don't see that every day.
It's just curious enough to draw Marisol's attention and ultimately pull the girl from her noonday nap. Wandering toward the woman, the girl's expression is neutral at best, though giving Aprile a looking-over, those tanned features become the slightest bit baffled. Maybe she really DID get lost?
When Aprile greets the redhead, the girl offers the tiniest of grins, gray eyes half-lidded as she regards the 'nurse' before her. Her response earns the woman a laugh from Marisol, as her hands move from her sides, resting comfortably on her hips. The girl smiles a bit more, a touch friendlier than previously.
"Yeah, you're a bit lost, I'd say, lady," she replies, though the latter of her inquiry draws a thin brow up over a solitary gray eye, full lips puckering slightly in response. Internship?
"Er, I'm probably the worst person to ask about that sort of thing," Marisol confesses, eyes drifting aside as she speaks. "I guess you could talk to the principal? Or maybe the nurse? She might be looking for help along those lines..." As for Gedo?
Marisol's lips pull into a smirk.
"OF course they are!" the girl replies, hands lifting from her hips as she gives a helpless shrug. "Gedo is rife with angry poor kids who have nothing better to do than pick on weak people and steal in their spare time. They're all ruffians, I say. Especially those Guardian Kings and their dumb leader, Tenma."
Fortunately, the heated moment passes, and Marisol grins to the woman. "I'm sure you'd fit in fine. There's no ruffians here, so I'm sure you'd be safe." Nevermind the hooligan girl before her and her cadre of fellow fighters of debatably ill repute.
"The nurse is that a'way," the half-Spaniard girl offers helpfully, pointing toward the northwest portion of Pacific's courtyard. As far as she's concerned, this nurse-lady is harmless. At least, she doesn't look like much of a threat...
She certainly does! And it works. What a surprise! Well. As Marisol grins to her, a laugh coming from the girl, Aprile blinks a few times, smiling, looking on at the half spaniard still. Well.. she sure seems to have brightened up, and Aprile's smile grows.. if that's at all possible!
"A bit lost? .. Oh well you can help me then ri-" And then Marisol adds on that she isn't the best person to talk too.. Aprile frowning a bit. "Well, thank you at least!" For telling her that much. The nurse leans back a bit, holding both hands on the object once more, the medkit just .. there.
And then Marisol grins? "Oh .. no ruffians here? .. So .. none at all?" The nurse sort of pouts, but looks over to the nurse office.. or whatever it is. Maybe just the nurses?
But Marisol might notice something off.. the Italian walks a few paces before stopping. "So it's over there.... well that certainly helps. I know where I might need to go in a little bit.." But turning to Marisol, she asks something else.
"Not to sound rude.. but how often do the students here get into trouble?.. I don't mean a detention or anything.. more world wide."
"Hey, not a problem," Marisol offers with a tiny grin, eyes drawing to a close as she folds her arms over her chest. Despite the bad reputation the girl makes for herself, she does have the occasional penchant of being nice. And since the Italian woman seems pretty innocent and lost, well...there's no reason to give the school a bad reputation.
Besides, that's more of a job for Luc Schroedinger.
As the nurse inquires about the school's ruffian problem, Marisol simply shakes her head, arms falling from her chest to rest comfortably akimbo on her curvy hips. "Mm, nah, not really. At least not half as bad as Gedo, but you can't get much worse than that, ha ha ha!" Amusing herself briefly, the redhead shakes her head lightly before she smirks.
"Really, you get bad apples in any bunch. But instances of confrontation here aren't very frequent." At least they don't appear to be to Marisol. Nevermind she starts fights pretty easily on campus, but that's easy to forget! After all, ignorance is bliss.
Lifting a hand, Marisol offers the nurse a wave as she turns, though a brow slightly creases as the woman stops. Giving Aprile a puzzled expression, the redhead's full lips pull into a thoughtful line across her face, more so as she asks about Pacific students getting into trouble worldwide.
"Uhh, I'm not sure what you mean? I think there was a girl here that ran off to Thailand a while ago, but other than her, no one from Pacific was dumb enough to run head-first into a war." Marisol sure as hell wasn't. "There was Jinchuu...but I dunno if that's what you're looking for?" Furrowing her brows shortly after, the half-Spaniard spends a moment just thinking.
What a weird question.
Oh that's nice to hear. Aprile's question seems to produce something of the sort. Bad apples of the bunch, aren't as frequent here.. she might leave the most of them alone. But then.. well..
A girl ran off to Thailand. No one else joined? It is both relief, and at the same time, distaste. "And none of you stopped her?" The nurse pipes up, turning about and taking a few steps away from Marisol. And none of them stopped her! Whether she means they were careless for letting her or not, it's only resolved when she stops.
"You allowed her to fight somewhere she shouldn't have been! What a terrible school.. not even teaching what they should really understand." She shakes her head. Unlike the others.. this was one of the least offending schools, between who bothered Master Vega.
But still.. she's got to stop the trouble before it starts. A single might spur more action.
Whipping around, the medkit is swung, energy flaring to life as Aprile charges towards Marisol, two swings forming an x of psycho energy, before the nurse thrusts the steel object straight towards Marisol, trying to catch her off guard!
"NONE of you should be interrupting such plans! NONE! You should have stopped her!"

"Well, uh," Marisol begins, watching the woman as she steps away from Marisol. It earns her a puzzled look, but the half-Spaniard holds her ground regardless. "To be honest I didn't know the girl. I heard it in passing from a few students, and..."
But before she can thoroughly explain, Aprile begins to rant.
Slowly do smoky gray eyes begin to narrow on the woman, the nurse she'd once presumed to be some random person that accidentally wandered onto campus becoming something a bit more. Is she a nurse and a political activist too? Thin red brows lightly furrow as the girl idly gnaws her bottom lip.
"Well, yeah, because I didn't know her," Marisol tries to explain. "Geez, though. If you're worried about the girl I heard she was fine..."
When the woman suddenly hoists her kit and ignites it with energy, that's when the girl decides that, yes. This woman is clearly insane and does not belong in the medical field - especially when she runs right for the girl and swings it.
Immediately Marisol lifts her arms and crosses them over her chest, absorbing the brunt of the blow with her forearms. It still stings regardless, eyes narrowing slightly as she braces herself against Aprile's blow. "This shit," the girl mumbles, whatever it means.
"Lady, that girl wasn't my responsibility!!" the girl barks in response, eyes going wide as she offers a fierce sneer. "Maybe if you're so worried about her--" Marisol doesn't even finish the thought; instead the half-Spaniard reels a fist back before she swings it fiercely, a mean right hook aimed for the other young woman's face.
COMBATSYS: Aprile just-defends Marisol's Hook Punch!

Marisol 0/-------/------=|-------\-------\0 Aprile
As Marisol responds about the girl, the nurse says a very .. unnursy thing. "No.. she should have died for going! It wasn't right for her to get involved!" The nurse somewhat shouts to Marisol, hair pointing straight to her face.. it's done up rather nice!.. And with Marisol lifting her arms, absorbing the blunt of the blow... well, Aprile is certainly happy.. she was a fighter!
And now she could perform the second phase.. to judge just what they might, at one time, be up against! "It might not have been but it is now..!" Wait, she has to stop.. there's a fist slamming towards her face. But instead of hitting Aprile, the doll catches it between herself and the medkit, the cross on the front burning with the psycho energy.. the fist clanging against the front rather hard.. but nothing.
"Because I can't let that happen again.. if you get involved, or any others.. I just can't let it happen. Especially with not how everything ended up..." Master Vega .. dying! .. Well, to a point. It was horrible. She failed him!
"But now I can help set things right... Cannon spike!"
Running towards Marisol, the nurse suddenly.. spins towards her, feet first in the air, glowing with psycho energy.. before she tries to spike her upwards and launch her with a psych energy powered kick, before leaping back, and flipping to her feet!

Marisol 0/-------/----===|==-----\-------\0 Aprile
"Damn," the girl mutters in response.
"That's pretty harsh for a nurse to say. Aren't you sworn to protect lives or something..?"
Shaking her head lightly, Marisol briefly exhales as she helplessly shrugs. "Like I said, I didn't know the girl, so her traipsing off to Thailand was her own choice. So." Besides, Marisol isn't grown peoples' babysitter - well, Luc excluded.
Still, the girl's not about to idly stand by as this so-called nurse throws her carrying case at her and attacks her with that damn weird energy she sees people occasionally slinging wantonly about. But just before that fist impacts with Aprile's face she swings her pail up and lets the girl's fist strike it. Marisol blinks...and then grins darkly.
"I don't plan on throwing my ass into a damn battlefield!!" the girl bellows in response, gray eyes wide and incredulous as she just watches Aprile. The other woman acts swiftly, however, her body aflare with that energy again as her legs crash into the girl, launching Marisol up.
"Feh," the girl scoffs midair, eyes narrowed...before she drops her body swiftly, attempting to land close-quarters in front of the girl. Swinging a fist violently for Aprile's gut, the girl follows up, if successful, by grabbing her by the face and drawing her downwards, just as Marisol's knee jerks up to slam it into the center of her face. A shove follows, to unbalance the other woman just before she snaps a leg up, to drive her sneaker's heel right into the nurse's chin.
"You're insane!!" Marisol exclaims regardless.
COMBATSYS: Marisol successfully hits Aprile with Chain Reaction.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > /////////////////////// ]
Marisol 0/-------/---====|=====--\-------\0 Aprile
And Marisol makes that statement, Aprile really should pull back.. but that means she wouldn't learn just what they were dealing with and that is .. JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE. She can fail! She can fail as many times as she wants.. but the nurse will never accept a self created failure.
Unfortunately, with Marisol dropping her body swiftly, Aprile isn't able to react in time, choosing to go on the defensive.. and paying for it, as Marisol grabs her by the face and draws her downwards.. and that knee slams STRAIGHT into it. Well. Her pretty face? RUINED. FOREVER.
The shove afterwards sends her backwards, a heel to her chin.. and Aprile staggers backwards, hitting the ground hard, before rising to her feet .. staggering. "N-No! I'm not insane.." She protests, smiling even through the beating that Marisol inflicts upon her. "I'm doing what's best for him.. that's all I ever do!" She exclaims.. "And it's a pity.. you're a pretty little girl.. I think I would have liked you otherwise!" Aprile mentions, grinning.
Before she falls back, holding that medkit to her chest, caressing it as the red glow emanates around her and about. "Oh the fun we could have had... but it's unavoidable. This school is just another ailment, and I'll have to deal with each of the trouble zones one by one!" The red glow grows stronger, over time.
Aprile is .. clearly doing something.
COMBATSYS: Aprile gathers her will.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////////////////// ]
Marisol 0/-------/---====|=======\=------\1 Aprile
There's the faintest expression of smug satisfaction the moment Marisol gets her hands on the other woman, driving her head into her knee before she kicks her away with...well, a kick to the jaw. Immediately after the girl drops her leg, setting it back onto the ground as the nurse staggers back and falls. Marisol's response is simply a tilt of her head to one side, brows lightly furrowed.
"Could've fooled me, you know," the half-Spaniard comments. But when she explains herself - sort of, anyway - it becomes a little clearer. Maybe she's the girlfriend of some anti-war or anti-establishment protestor, or something weird like that. She won't think too hard on it, at least. Instead Marisol just smirks.
"Pretty, huh?" she asks aloud, a hand pressing lightly to her chin as gray eyes watch Aprile closely. But a frown swiftly draws over her lips, eyes hooding slightly as she watches Aprile pet her medical kit. How weird...
"Hey, I hate school just as much as you, but I'm not about to go out and try to kill people for choosing to fight in some silly war overseas. Trouble zones..?" Marisol's eyes narrow further, as attentive as ever as she watches the nurse closely and carefully.
"Man, what is wrong with you, lady? Did I hit you too hard..?" She pauses briefly, shaking her head. "Doesn't matter, I guess. You gotta go." A thumb jerks sharply over her shoulder, toward the exit.
COMBATSYS: Marisol focuses on her next action.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////////////////// ]
Marisol 0/-------/---====|=======\=------\1 Aprile
With Marisol commenting about fooling her, Aprile grins broadly. "Oh I guess I do that sometimes.. the last one accused me of it before as well, and the other one too! But I'm just too happy to serve him.. I hope he understands what lengths I go to for him!" The doll isn't giving it up yet. Not yet!
But it doesn't matter.. the other one knew.. or knows. He hasn't said a word. "Mhmm! Pretty!" And then with Marisol's eyes narrowing.. watching carefully, Aprile watches the spaniard just .. hanging back.
"Oh, you too? You really shouldn't do that.. that's not exactly in your best interest miss!" The Italian nurse gives an insight to Marisol. "I'm sure you're doing that for a very good reason but .. really.. it's just not going to help! I can probably last longer!"
Nurse, and all.. infact, the nurse immediately cracks open the medkit, ripping out a line of gauze.. and placing it a bit almost like a mask over her nose! the line is cut and all, giving Aprile more or less a bit of time to recuperate!
She cuts it with her own hand, too.. before sliding it all back. "There!" Slightly smothered voice now. "All better!"
"'Serve him?'" Aprile's perceived relationship with...whoever she's talking about just got a whole lot weirder in Marisol's mind. But it is the least of her interests; there were others accusing her of being insane? Would that mean, then, that she's a part of the rumors going around campus..?
Gray eyes narrow discreetly. "So lemmie guess?" she asks. "You're the one going around beating up everyone at the schools..?" The girl tilts her head to the right, arms crossing casually over her chest as she just stares Aprile down. She says nothing the entire time, even as the woman begins to mend her wounds.
This woman is insane. It's crystal-clear now.
"I don't really like cults!" the girl blurts, just as the woman puts her medical supplies away. Breaking into a swift sprint, the half-Spaniard attempts to overwhelm the nurse, closing in as fast as she can. And when she's close enough...Marisol slams her head forward, attempting to headbutt the woman in the face.
Right in the gauze. A cheap shot!
But it doesn't end with just that. Pulling back swiftly, the girl's fists ignite with dandelion yellow energy, chi flames licking along her arms as her fist drives forward, right for the woman's gut, followed by a nasty one-two punch right for either side of her face. The girl doesn't hold back. At all.
"You need a new boyfriend!!"

Marisol 0/-------/=======|=======\====---\1 Aprile
And then Marisol guesses it RIGHT ON. "Oh? .. Oh! Right! Yes that's exactly right! I'm that person!" She beams, smiling brightly towards Marisol, glimmering a bright smile as she is stared down.. and then Marisol .. CALLS IT A CULT. It's on. IT'S ON.
The Spaniard attempts to overwhelm the nurse, and as she closes in quickly, slamming her forehead against hers, Aprile attempts to simply kiss her... but it fails! The kiss never gets through, and so the next of the attack, which involved her swinging medkit fails to continue as she's slammed into her gut.. and then her face gets more beatings..!
Aprile goes down hard, slamming against the sidewalk.. slightly unhappy.. okay, more than slightly! "M... Master.. is not ... IS NOT a bad person .. Master cares for me .." She writhes, forcing herself up.. "And you're .. you have a nice soft touch .. even when you're so hard." She beams.. with a blood trail from her nose now making the gauze red and not sexy at all.
"So you are," the redhead replies. Good. She doesn't feel too badly now.
And it shows, as the girl attacks Aprile with little remorse, headbutting the nurse in her face before she unleashes three, brutal chi-laced strikes, ultimately knocking the poor woman back onto the ground - hard. As for Marisol, her hands clench swiftly, yellow chi snuffing out of existence like an expired flame as a tiny grin edges over her full lips.
"You shouldn't call him 'master,'" she explains, looking down at the woman. But before she can add, Aprile's comment about 'her touch' draws a truly baffled look over the redhead's sun-kissed features. What the hell..? This lady is so weird. No wonder she's been going around causing trouble.
She's not all THERE.
"I'll show you soft!" the girl cries with a savage smile, gray eyes wide as she lunges in again. Only when she's close enough does Marisol's fist swing, a one-two blow delivered across the girl's face in rapid succession with a sharp laugh of cruel delight. She doesn't feel badly at ALL.

With Marisol responding, she certainly isn't going to lay off.. not from what she keeps saying! But Aprile isn't exactly giving her reason to STOP so it's sort of a problem for both of them! And for example.. what's a bit of violence between ... wait wrong explanation.
"Why .. why would you say that?" Aprile asks, somewhat confused. And then Marisol slams forwards, a one-two blow across her face.. or attempting to, before arms rise up finally to block.. and red guards come from the sleeves of the nurse outfit. They were there all the time but .. under.
That doesn't stop her punch from hurting.
"Oh.. your touch is lovely.. but you see... I wouldn't think of calling him anything but .. my Master is a lovely man. I would give my life and anyone else's for him! So .. this isn't that troublesome to me." She admits. But bounding off the ground.. well, it's something. Kicking back.. Aprile leaps forwards, swinging the medkit in somewhat of a straight on strike to plow into Marisol, swinging it as hard as she can!
"And .. DONT' you ever suggest such a silly thing again sweety!"
COMBATSYS: Marisol blocks Aprile's Power Strike.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ////////////////// ]
Marisol 0/-------/=======|=======\=====--\1 Aprile
Why would she suggest something like that, Aprile asks of the Pacific girl. Marisol's eyes darken.
"Because it so male chauvinistic! Outdated!" Hooding her eyes, the girl narrows them on the nurse, hands resting on her hips as she stares. "You're gonna let some guy make you call him that?" A hand lifts, gesturing in an idly dismissive fashion before she exhales. "Honestly! I will never begin to understand cults, or their leaders." Eyes snap shut like a trap, lips pursing in mild annoyance.
Marisol exhales loudly as the girl only furthers her belief that this crazy nurse is a fanatic.
When Aprile moves, the redhead opens her eyes, gaze fixing on the other woman. The moment that medical kit swings and intends to slam into her does Marisol lift her arms up, dampening the blow on her forearms before she shoves off. A sneer swiftly follows.
"He sounds like a big jackass to me," she quips back, purposefully poking the proverbial badger. Shortly after the words escape her does the half-Spaniard lash out, attempting to grab the woman by her collar and yank, to throw her balance off briefly. The real attack comes as she clenches a fist tightly and attempts to punch her hard in the back of her head while Aprile staggers.
"Get a CLUE!" Maybe she can punch some sense into this senseless nurse..? Oh Marisol.

Marisol 1/-------/=======|=======\=======\1 Aprile
As Marisol again comes at her, Aprile attempts to prevent her assault.. one of many ways, really, but more importantly... it doesn't work. The fist slams hard into the back of her head while Aprile tries to prevent it once more, causing the nurse to stagger forwards.. so much .. pain.
But Aprile doesn't think of that. Perhaps the easiest way to unnerve the doll. To break her attention? .. Is to talk like Marisol does, about her Master. Coughing, blood making it's way out finally, the psycho power she tries to summon again fizzles when the fist impacts incredibly hard.
"Hah... You .. you're calling him a jackass?" The force she's been hit with ... is bad.. but more importantly.
When Marisol yanks the collar.. she gets her off balance.
But the nurse outfit comes off as well.. is she .. NAKED!?
No. Blue over blue. Blue spandex covered by a blue sweater like pattern, and a tie at the very base of her neck. "I don't call him that .. because he makes me.." The nurse says, smiling.. but not happy. She keeps questioning her loyalty! Darn that Marisol!
"Master Vega... I only wish to serve him!" And she points at Marisol, despite the wounds. "Master Vega ... I would never go against his words.. or even think of turning on him! So don't you think for a moment.. that he's making me do anything!"
After delivering a harsh blow to the poor girl, Marisol casually and callously pulls back, gray eyes half-lidded in a dull expression lacking amusement. But something is weird...there's something in her hand? Pausing briefly, those eyes turn downwards, eyeing the nurse's uniform clutched between calloused fingers in her palm.
"Oh shi--" she begins, eyes cautiously lifting. IS the weird cult nurse naked? God does she hope not.
And Marisol's fears are laid to rest, as gray eyes affix on Aprile, now clad in an odd blue spandex uniform. Slowly does the redhead's brow lift over an eye, her expression clearly puzzled as she just stares the other woman down. What the Hell has she gotten herself into?
"He makes you what??" the girl asks, her hand jerking sharply and discarding the now-ruined nurse's disguise. "Makes you degrade yourself? Treats you like you're a tool? Honestly - what kind of guy makes a woman call him 'master' anyway? I'll tell you what." Marisol thrusts a finger at Aprile.
"Jerks like your 'beloved' boyfriend-master-whatever the hell else he might be." The redhead exhales deeply, her head shaking slowly as she rests her hands on her curvy hips. "I can't believe you'd let yourself be so easily manipulated. And here I thought you were someone genuine and nice."
Lifting her eyes, they narrow on Aprile. "Now I see you're just a deluded peon, some crazy cult's tool."
And then revelation. Vega?
Marisol's face flushes pale.
"Now I know you're a tool," the girl confesses darkly. "What the hell's that mad man want, sending you out to schools to beat up on the student body? Isn't that creep dead, anyway? You're running a fool's errand, clearly."
Whatever her intentions may be here, Marisol has no hesitations in charging in once more, attempting to deliver a straight punch to her chest before she ducks slightly and swings up, following the straight with a swift uppercut before she concludes the strike by pivoting on her heel and whipping a foot around, a spinning hook kick aimed for poor Aprile's temple.

Marisol 1/-------/=======|>>>>>>>\>>>>>>>\2 Aprile
Marisol doesn't have to worry about it anymore. Aprile will take care of eeeervythiiing~! Or that's what she would love for her to AGREE with but putting down Marisol has become a fight to even strike the girl head on. "You think I'm a tool?.. No.. No! I'm anything but.. You just don't want to agree with it.. you just don't want to understand... And I'm doing this because of how all of you hurt him! That girl .. if I can't have her, you're just as good!"
And then Marisol comes in to her, a straight punch to the chest.. it doesn't get far enough, red guards preventing the strike, a spinning hook kick, and a swift uppercut follow.. not in that order... the doll weaving this and that way while taking the rest.
"But .. this isn't going to be anywhere over just yet!" The doll cries out.. "Because he didn't tell me to do this.. and it's hardly the last time I'll do this! Gedo was fun.. but the challenge wasn't worth it. The boy just .. wasn't interesting enough. But you're a much better research object! I'm just learning so much!"
And to MAKE SURE SHE LEARNS MORE, Aprile raises the medkit upwards, a red sparkling/glowing energy beginning to surround her, some of the more painful face assaults .. just wearing away like that. Psycho energy, Vega's soul, restoring parts of her Marisol smashed in .. hard.
Marisol stares at Aprile, her features filled with sheer disbelief. How can someone be so blind and so easily manipulated, the half-Spaniard girl wonders. Sure, all is made a bit clearer when the young woman reveals just who it is she chooses to call master, but...it still bothers her. Little does the girl know, however...
"How we all hurt him? What are you talking about?" the redhead replies. "I didn't do anything--!"
Marisol's just as good? That's some flawed logic, and it draws a scowl over her tanned features, giving her encouragement enough to rush in and make her move. The Doll, however, fends her attack off well enough, intercepting her blows. As for Marisol, she simply lets the kick strike before she pulls her foot back and plants it, taking three patience steps back and away.
"Boy, huh? Research? Hah, wouldn't surprise me if you were talking about that jackass Tenma." Because as far as Marisol is concerned, the guy's as boring as a rock covered in moss - and just as handsome! Smirking harshly, gray eyes draw shut as she considers Aprile's rambling. "Learning what, might I ask?"
When her eyes open, they see the Doll...fixing herself again? Another scowl cuts over her lips.
"No, I don't think so!!" the half-Spaniard girl cries sharply, charging in despite the glow of red. Only when she's close does the girl drive another straight punch at Aprile's chest, followed by a swift cross aimed for the face.
"You're done here!!"

Marisol 1/-------/=======|=======\==-----\1 Aprile
as the half-spaniard girl cries out, charging in, driving a straight punch to her chest and then the face.. the wounds that undo .. redo, and Aprile ends up on the receiving end of the punch, pushing herself through, and then sliding against Marisol.. she doesn't even try to resist it. "I'm sorry.. I just had to make sure I could feel another one of your lovely swings... because I need to learn just how strong you are.. and your touch.. though a tad hard.. is fine with me .. I could only hope for something like that!"
"And it's okay I forgive you." She exclaims, smiling brightly as she attempts to bring herself close to Marisol.. to do what!? What horrible thing might she do to this poor girl!?
The glow happens again.. and the psycho energy that pools about Aprile actually slides towards Marisol, wrapping around her, and undoing any harm that Aprile might have done to her..
"The least I can do .. since you don't understand... is let you share his glory! ... Here.. Master Vega's soul ... isn't it delightful? .. I'm sure you might even feel him... it's what I have left of him... I'll share it!"
She seems all too willing, smiling as she does it.. like a person trying to share a gift with another.
But Marisol would feel something .. not right. The energy, by all classifications, is evil. Evil! And oh so delicate. "You helped me .. quite a bit!"

Marisol 1/-------/=======|==-----\-------\0 Aprile
The moment after Marisol swings her final strike she recoils, arms pulling back and hovering defensively at her chest. She doesn't trust this former-nurse-now...whatever two ways from Sunday, what with her pining for the 'late' Lord Vega and all. And her intentions, wanting to kill students who went to Thailand to fight for the rights of those oppressed..?
Crazy. It's all crazy, and it brings a frown to Marisol's lips.
"Yeah, I hit hard, but that doesn't mean it's wise to just take it," she warns, a brow lifting slightly as she peers at Aprile cautiously. "'Touch' is an odd way of phrasing it, too. But, hey...you're a bit on the detached side, aren't you?" As mean as it sounds, the girl offers a lopsided grin in response. It IS kind of humorous, when you look past the whole 'blindly devoted to a dead guy' thing.
And then, suddenly, she's being YANKED inwards, drawn close to Aprile as that weird glow forms over the Doll and begins to wrap itself around the girl. Stunned and definitely startled, the half-Spaniard stares with utter disbelief at the Doll. What the hell..??
She struggles a bit against the haze of red, her expression sour as it washes over and...repairs what damage has been wrought upon her by the other woman. She doesn't like it...not one bit. It's not right. It's weird. It's off. It's creepy. It's--
"Gross!"
A violent struggle breaks out swiftly afterwards, as the girl intends on thrusting her arms forward and shoving the Shadaloo Doll away - far away as possible.
"What the hell was that? I don't want you to corrupt me with your weird cult voodoo!"

Marisol 1/---====/=======|===----\-------\0 Aprile
As Marisol actually STRUGGLES against Master Vega's loving embrace and power, Aprile frowns.. and she goes to throw her away, instead.. a sudden bit of rage takes Aprile.. "G... G.. Gross!?" The doll responds, a black look on her face growing darker, eyeing Marisol as she intends on thrusting her arms forwards and shoving her away.
Aprile this time does it.. not to try and win, not to try and show the child pain.. but JUST BECAUSE. She wants Marisol to hurt again.. she doesn't WANT Master Vega's brilliance?
He who giveths takeths away! And all that junk.
Spinning upwards, the medkit causing a swirling spinning of bright red psycho energy, catching and pulling Marisol up.. she pulls Marisol up after her, before thrusting her, spiking her down with that psycho energy, and landing nearby her.
"YOU! .. You .. You took Master Vega's soul and then .. CALLED IT GROSS? Master Vega.. he's what made this possible.." She says, smiling.. and then looks down at Mizuki, who is perhaps a bit hurt afterwards. "Ah! I didn't mean to hit you that hard.. I got a bit angry! ... Look, lie still and I'll fix it up ALL better, okay?" She says, smiling wide.
..Okay maybe she is loose a few things.
Trying to push the other woman away, Marisol is suddenly given a rude, angry awakening.
That medical kit swings upwards fiercely, the edge catching the girl by her chin and launching her prone form upwards, a sheath of red making it all the more painful as she's driven into the air. But before the half-Spaniard girl can recover properly she's suddenly knocked out of the air, spiked like a volleyball into the ground, where she hits with a heavy, painful thud.
She doesn't move at first; instead, the girl twitches her hand, long digits digging into the ground before she slowly pulls herself off of the pavement. Shaking lightly, her shoulders rise and fall awkwardly, long red hair obscuring the half-Spaniard's face from view. At first it's difficult to discern...is she crying?
"HA HA HA HAAAA!" No, she's laughing.
"That wasn't hard!!" the girl yells, gray eyes wide with delight as she suddenly rushes forward. When she nears the girl's fists clench tightly, four fierce hooks executed with the intent of stunning the Doll in the flurry of fists. And after the fourth strike...the girl recoils, a fist clenched tightly as she inhales deeply...before exhaling.
As result she LUNGES into the other woman, a fierce, unyielding punch aimed for the center of Aprile's chest with brutal force.
"Harder, HARDER!!"

Marisol 0/-------/----===|=======\-------\1 Aprile
... How kinky.
But unfortunately, Aprile isn't able to actually appreciate the HARDER, HARDER that Marisol so wants. As Marisol twitches, pulling herself up, Aprile watches.. oh no.. did she hurt the poor thing? And that's when Marisol LAUGHS. "Oh .. good you're up! .. It wasn't?" the doll isn't sure, but smiling, she nods. "Well alright.. then I'll agree! It must not have been!" The girl has eyes wide with delight as she executes each strike, stunning her with the flurry.. the doll tries to push herself towards Marisol again, to grasp her, and hug her.
But the final punch sends her on her rear, skidding away rather hard.. and she staggers to her feet. "I .. think I'm done here then!" She says bowing to Marisol. "But when I visit Gedo again.. I'll beat up that one for you, Tenma! I might even kill him!" She cheerfully admits. "Especially since you've expressed such displeasure.. I just want you to be happy too, okay? As long as you don't keep bad mouthing Master Vega!"
And then she coughs up a lot of blood. Delayed strike maybe. "Ah.... you really... hit me hard...." Staggering, her body can't make up for it fast enough.. heading slowly out of Pacific..
"I hope it's not the last time we meet...."
