Description: Urien's attempts to test out a new suit while destroying some competition ends up making him regret everything. It is a battle he had no chance of winning from a moral standpoint.
It was a warm afternoon weekend in Southtown and the sun shone radiantly from the 3 o' clock position overhead. The sky was an endless expanse of azure blue, smattered by lightly colored cumulonimbus clouds throughout. The sun's warmth was an open invitation to the gathered throngs to enjoy the day, the gentle whisper of the wind a temptation for those indoors to come outdoors. Here at the Village Mall, the paved streets and lush green park grounds were teeming with people and the enthusiasm they bring. Few places here were devoid of the sights and sounds of people enjoying their recreation time as only this rather unique mall an provide. The Southtown Village Mall took a very green approach to consumerism, unlike the more modernized concrete and glass jungles erected in so many other places.
There are no cars here, though there are many bike riders throughout the park - especially on the bike paths. On a good day, many people gathered here to shop and enjoy the sun and natural scenery - often by spreading out pallets on the rolling green park grounds somewhere beneath a tree. The shops themselves, were the kinds of structures you'd expect of a mall... concrete or brick strutures, with transparent colorless glass, marble floors, eternally smiling shopkeepers, and earworm ambience music.
Today, seated beneath the shade of a large Japanese cedarwood... is a girl wearing very dark dress with silver hair an dark eyes. It's a frilly, dull-looking, gothic style dress that looks as though it'd be entirely to hot to wear. She's presently staring quietly into the open pages of a dusty old tome... an emotionless mask worn on her painted face.
Unfortunately for Ninon, she was not alone.
"Hah Hah Hah!" Was the high pitched laughter as her companion sprints past her. Dressed in pink and white, with black pants. the pink-haired girl squeaks with every step. *SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK*. Armed in her gloved hands was a large pink and yellow butterfly net. Mignon, in this fine park day, was chasing after butterflies with the net, giggling the entire time. "Hah hah hah! Hah hah-"
"Oh NO!"
Mignon suddenly trips on Ninon, coming to a crash facedown into the root of the tree. "OWIE OW OW!" Comes the cry as the net comes flying out of her hand, landing several feet away. Landing in a heap by Ninon, she sits back upon her knees, bringing her hands to her eyes, catpaw style. "Oh no! Mignon fall down! Mignon is VERY sad that she fell down! Ninon! Baby Sister! Mignon got hurt!"
"Why did you make Mignon trip like that?"
It's a peaceful day by all accounts at the onset; however, something suddenly interrupts the torture that Ninon is forced to endure just outside the park. There's a great, terrible explosion; the very ground shudders a single time, and the wail of car alarms thrums in all directions. A black cloud of smoke billows up from an alley, where something violent took place. People are streaming away from it, people in the park standing up and staring with wide eyes...
Terrorists?! Whatever it is... it's Evil.
The culprit behind it is in no particular hurry himself. Within the broad alley stands a massive Greek, wearing a heavily tattered dark grey suit with white undershirt and brown loafers. A cellphone is to his ear, as he growls into it. "I was under the impression this suit was INDESTRUCTABLE. But it seems to not be the *case.*" he hisses, brushing black soot from his chest.
Opposite him is an annihilated black SUV, with four unconscious people strewn around. About thirty meters past, a giant hole was blown into the brick side of a building, continuing on all the way to the street.
Hanging up, the cellphone is tucked back into a front pocket. "Tch. One of the four wasn't garbage. But not enough to test things sufficiently... what a shame." He glances up at the whirling black smoke, running fingers through his hair with a smirk. "Maybe the noise will attract someone more fun...?!"
Ninon groans softly, not taking her eyes off the book even as Mignon's heavy weight jars her legs suddenly. A soft sigh escapes her pale lips, and Ninon replies with an absolutely /enthusiastic/ ... "...Blame it on the butterfly..." The sound of a page being turned follows, "...I guess."
She doesn't even seem to have batted an eyelash, even though Mignon practically smashed into the tree trunk nearest her left arm. Those penetrating, violet, eyes just continue to stare impassively from out of the curtain of her silvery mane at the dusty old pages before her. The aged, black, ink contorts itself line after line into some manner of script entirely foreign - likely a dead language. It's definitely NOT Japanese, that's for certain! Etched into the old, leather, cover of the book in English the title would say "The Call of Enoch".
Nearby, some small children run around a park fountain with a chinese Dragon at its center spewing crystal clear streams of chlorinated water. The constant soft trickle of the spewing water upon the pool surface, and the laughter of the children, are a predominant background noise here.
...But Ninon was utterly ignoring it all, sitting with a wicker basket covered by a towel at her side. The basket itself contained the food for this evening's jaunt, with Ninon having likely made whatever's in it herself. After all, couldn't have Mignon cooking. That's how the dormitory lost its power LAST week! ... Ninon WAS ignoring it all, until that explosion roars through the mall sending debris flying into the air and then crashing back down everywhere! Suddenly, those kids near the fountain are running as a chunk of brick debris SMASHES into the face of the marble dragon sending water spraying all around! Anyone nearby is surely running at this point, their screams nearly drowned out by the high-pitched wail of the car alarms.
As the leaves of the tree she's sitting beneath rustle over head, debris raining down upon her pristine white pallet, Ninon's violet eyes lift from the book. She then closes it quickly, before turning to look over her shoulder in Urien's direction. Her emotionless mask remains absolutely unbroken.
"...Evil."
The book is set aside, the gothic lolita standing tall at an overwhelming height of... 5'2''. Suddenly a rush of excitement wells up within the girl, and the mask breaks... a creeping smirk entering her features. "Let's go, something more interesting than butterflies has come up..."

"Mignon can't, Ninon!"
That was the reply from the pink-haired girl, as she scoots along the grass towards her net. Holding it lightly, the girl suddenly sniffles. "Mignon can't blame a pretty butterfly! Butterflies are like angels! Little pretty angel fairies! Mignon would be very selfish if she blame butterflies instead of you, Ninon!" Mignon begins to sob lightly.
And Mignon suddenly stops her sobbing.
The girl bursts upright, staring off in the distance, eyes wide as she clutches the net. Whether it was because of what Ninon was reacting to, or something else, she suddenly gasps loudly, covering her mouth."Ninon we need to forget that unimportant thing you are talking about!" She exclaims, thrusting a finger in the air as Ninon actually begins to run for it. Twirling around with her net, she points in the direction of the explosion in the distance.
"There is great evil afoot!"
Squeak squeak squeak goes the shoes as she suddenly jumps up in place. "W-w-wait! Wait for Mignon!" She exclaims as she chases after her sister. SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK is the sound as she runs after Ninon, flailing about awkwardly. It was almost certain that Ninon would make it first. But at the very least, she would have her sister backing her up!
For better or for worse.
Eyes closed, Urien casts his senses out into the surroundings, a lazy attempt at gauging what might be on the menu. There's a respectable amount of trash... but nobody he would consider powerful. Oh? Wait... two are approaching him. One feels... nope, that's trash. The other? Difficult to say. But probably also trash. There's only going to be a few minutes before the police show up, which would be a pointless waste. "Tch. What a waste." he murmurs, just prior to Ninon and Mignon's arrival.
There's plenty of room, the alley wide enough for a semi with truck to drive in with plenty of room to either side. Presently there are two cars that were not destroyed. Urien himself is standing in the middle of a roughly horseshoe-shaped loading area for the adjacent stores, continuing to brush at his outfit.
"So this is what I get..." he growls out, shaking his head slowly as he looks over the pair. "Did my explosion animate a gothic doll to come get vengeance?" he states with disdain at Ninon. And after a few moments staring at Mignon as she catches up, a grimace goes across his handsome features. "And I plain just don't /like/ you." There's something about her chi. So sickeningly sweet that he feels dirtied by it.
"I'm going, now." Turning to walk away, a moment is spent kicking one of the fallen men near the burning SUV, causing him to shout in pain, cough up blood, and curl into the fetal position. His back is fully turned to the pair, loafers clacking along as he heads in the direction of a narrow street.

Ninon darts across the dark pavement, totally conspicuous sister wielding butterfly net in tow. With her dress being as dark as it is, she blends in well - especially what with the smoke in the area and chunks of charred debris scattered all about. For the people running off into the distance, she'd probably be almost invisible. But she isn't to the greek in the expensive suit apparently. "...Perhaps...", the 'doll' replies to the greek with an equal amount of disdain, even as the attention shifts from her sister. Her violet eyes are veiled, briefly, by a stray lock of silver hair. She's quick to brush it aside and then... survey the damage he apparently did. Even if she couldn't feel his energy, the collateral was telling enough.
Her porcelean lids droop, momentarily, as he turns to walk away after thoroughly insulting both girls. Ninon was accustomed to Mignon being insulted, that was par for the course. Insulting her had a tendency to provoke nasty retaliation however. As he would soon find out.
Measuredly, Ninon lifts a dainty hand and flattens her palm, as lightning surges forth from it... crackling and arcing about. The outpouring of electricity from her aura quickly escalates... beginning to mold itself into a crackling, glowing, white sphere of psionic energy. Sparks of electricity shoot off eratically into the area around Ninon and even blow chunks out of the pavement.
Then, a quick burst of incantation springs forth from Ninon's violet lips, "...Michael on my right!" and the sphere ERUPTS from her hand suddenly and barrels toward Urien... destroying the pavement all along the way!
Whew that took a long time!
Mignon is BLAZING with amazing heroic speeds after her sister. But when Ninon finally stops, she nearly bumped into her. "Owies!" Mignon cries, before looking right at Urien. "Oh wow! That person looks very evil! Mignon's special evil senses says that you are evil...." And suddenly, Mignon stomps her squeaky foot. "And you are making fun of Mignon! Only the most impure of hearts can hate a pure and innocent soul like Mignon!" Mignon holds her net stride, as she bellows. "In the name of all that is good and just in the world, Mignon will-" Suddenly Mignon darts her eyes towards Ninon.
"Who is Michael?"
Mignon looks around quizzically, holding a hand over her eyes. "Mignon does not see a Michael! Is Michael a cute boy? Maybe Ninon has a boyfriend named Michael?!" Mignon suddenly pops her eyes open wide. "Oh my goodness! Ninon having a boyfriend? Mignon's baby sister is growing up so fast! But with no Grandmama, that might mean boys will try and take advantage of Ninon's innocent purity!" Mignon thrusts up a finger, eyes wide. "That is why Mignon will take it upon herself to do the most important duty of any big sister. Mignon will get ready to give Ninon...."
"The talk!"
Mignon suddenly leaps into the air with a squeak. "Oh no! Mignon was so worried about her little sister's blossoming flower of womenhood, that Mignon is letting the villain get away! Oh noooooo!" Mignon thrusts a finger towards Urien, and charges him, ready to cut him off! Flailing around with her net, she squeals as her shoes squeak. "OH NOOOOOO" Was the cry as suddenly, she trips over her feet again. Sailing through the air, she lands with an unceramonious plop right in a mud puddle...
And right in front of Urien's path.

In truth, Ninon's prepared assault intrigues Urien, narrowing his eyes in her direction as his hands settle within his suit. "...Oh?" That's definitely not chi energy. When the beam is fired in his direction, all attention is upon the darker-colored Ninon. There's a sudden ripple of energy, the air shimmering a moment as he summons up a momentary shield, a brief crackle that impacts the Demiurge Thunderbolt dead center about a meter away from the G-Project savant. "HAAA!!" Most of it dissipates, a violent backwash of the remaining psionic power impacting him and rushing past. "Hmm...!!" A psionic? He's been meaning to gather some for research. Maybe this isn't a total--
Oh, wait. It seems the other witch is coming at him. Why on earth are her shoes squeaking?! Annoying. Annoying. Annoying. Everything about her is annoying!! Twisting to face Mignon as she charges forward, there couldn't possibly be a more idiotic attempt. Does she not realize the sheer gap in power?
"DIE." Ninon might feel it before it happens. The sudden rush of intense energy, that shudders the walls of the alley, impacting like a crushing weight. A literal gravity, feet sinking into the asphalt of the alley before Urien rushes straight upwards in a violent headbutt that takes him a good meter into the air.
Right where Mignon's face would be, if she didn't just trip herself and sail in his direction.
Mignon doesn't make it to the puddle. Instead, her forehead would impact something surprisingly soft on the otherwise adonic Greek perfection. As she inadvertantly headbutts him right in the groin before thumping down with a splash that stains his pants.
Urien lands, legs stiffed and bowed slightly, eyes bugged out. He bites his lower lip so hard a thin trail of blood runs down. She dirtied him...!! This design -- did not come with scotch guarding. The pain is very real, but in combative terms, the hit was mostly harmless... outside the endless rage it triggers.
Urien's body explodes with a violent outburst of his metallic chi. His suit is annihilated in an instant, sending fragments whirling around him in a whirlwind. His lightly tanned body darkens heavily, skin hardening and condensing into armor across his now startlingly unclad form. Ninon's purity is even more in danger; wearing naught but a black battle thong, Urien looks very much like a Chippendales dancer just about to end his act.
His hair and eyes turn stark white last, every last vein on his face and neck strained as teeth are bared in complete outrage. Fists clench as he continues to summon up shimmering pulses of heavy energy, causing the ground to dent and sink beneath, as if he suddenly weighed multiple tons.
"...!! ...!! I'm going to... kill you...!!"
Ninon's near-emotionless mask contorts into something resembling a look of displeasure as her psionic thunderbolt clashes with his projected energy field and then... dissipates. The left side of her unpainted lips turns downward. She doesn't say anything for a few seconds at least, violet eyes merely narrowing a bit further.
"...I don't have a boyfriend...", comes a soft reply to Mignon, a few seconds after her sister charges Urien without an iota of common sense - or balance - to her. Apparently, despite her proximity to the minor explosion she generated, Ninon had heard her sister. Now was not the time for lectures about the Heavenly Host, however, now was the time to...
...to sigh exasperatedly as Ninon stumbles over her own feet, flying head first into a strange man's crotch before falling into a puddle with a splash. So much for chastity...
...And she just, turns her eyes away in mild shame as Urien staggers about bowlegged in the background. Her cheeks were perhaps experiencing the first color they'd had in a while. How could anyone take the fight seriously after that?? "...Boring..." She's just about ready to throw her hands up, dismiss the whole thing and walk away when...
...she feels that foreign energy bursting forth from Urien, washing over her whole body and throwing debris throughout the alley. His suit is annihilated utterly as well, by some means, as the violet-eyed doll's eyes slowly track back around and then fall upon...
OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
...Did someone hear George Takei just now? No? Well... if Ninon thought she were embarassed before... she knew better now. Her whole, dead white, face becomes alive with color at the sight of it. Dear god, what manner of catastrophy has she followed her sister into THIS time?!
Ninon just loses it, at this pont, charging Urien angrily for the sheer violation of her eyesight he represents! She leaps suddenly and rolls forward in the air performing not one, but TWO swiftly executed cartwheel kicks intended to visit a little pain on the Greek perhaps! Or at least, knock him out of her line of sight.
Mignon is so clumsy!
It wasn't even a proper attack per say. And as her reward, she doesn't die horribly. Instead, however she gets a faceful of Urien thong as she goes down. Mignon's face goes flush as she lands on her bottom, clutching the net tightly. She suddenly makes a whimper, sticking her tongue out she trembles. Scraping her tongue, she begins to get tears in the corner of her eyes. "YUCK! Mignon does not like this, not one bit! Mignon is not that kind of girl! Mignon might sometimes like people on those romance novels, but Mignon does not read them! She only picks them out for the pictures-" Mignon stops in midscrape, glancing upwards to the ABSOLUTELY LIVID Urien. Her eyes goes wider. And almost immediately, she begins to scream in terror.
"AAAAAAAAH"
Mignon erupts to a stand.
"AAAAAAAAAAH"
And Mignon begins to run around in circles screaming.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH- OWIE!"
As Mignon panicks and runs around, Ninon comes in to save her sister. Again. As Ninon comes roaring in, Mignon continues to run around in a circles, her screaming stopped as she continues to stick her tongue out. Eyes shut and tear flowing fast, she suddenly takes a wrong turn. A DANGEROUS wrong turn, in fact, as she suddenly runs headlong towards Urien's flank as Ninon comes in, risking to run straight into him blindly. She couldn't see with her eyes close, and how can she remember to open them, as she exclaims her most pressing matter.
"Mignon bat har tangue!"

There's really not any particular response from Urien. He simply stands there, fists clenched as black lightning runs up and down his armored form. It's probably difficult to try and imagine someone who could possibly be more in the midst of rancor then the greek at this very moment. The whirling upskirt offered by Ninon cracks down against his neck, but her heel stops dead; a nearly invisible field of chi is currently seething around the man as adrenaline threatens a destroyed blood vessel. This has the added effect of causing Mignon to feel like she just buttled a slab of steel.
"Neither of you are leaving here alive...!!"
Twisting around, the massive figure suddenly looms before Mignon, casting a dark shadow over the small girl. Before he launches himself forward, attempting to slam into her with his shoulder using an incredible amount of destructive force; not only from his enhanced physique, but also the superhuman density his activated element offers. If contact is made, he'll rush over to strike the witch into a wall, hard enough to probably get her stuck in a Mignon-shaped dent in the bricks.
Ninon might understand the seriousness of the danger here, but Mignon will doubtlessly battle to the bitter end!! ... Of course, she might also not care about abandoning her dear sister to her fate...

It becomes readily apparent, as Ninon's foot connects solidly with the monterous Greek's energy field... that her limbs alone would not be enough. Whirling back and away in a fluttering of of frilly black, Ninon retreats from her opponent hastily and lands with a clicking of her flats against the pavement. It wouldn't be plain in her unaffected facial expression, but the sheer quantity of chi the man exuded had also made her painfully aware of the dissonance between chi and psi. This marked the first time a simple clashing of energy had caused her even minor discomfort.
"...You assume entirely too much...", comes a soft yet loudly arrogant reply to his comment about killing them both. Unlike her sister, perhaps, Ninon was /well aware/ already of the power differential. She was not yet convinced of his ability to beat them both however.
When the attack against her sister is made, Ninon proves exactly how little she cared by simply standing aside and watching the pair collide with her dull, violet, gaze like a lifeless marionette. She does not move, at all, until Mignon is thoroughly embedded in the brick structure of a nearby store with a /painful/ sounding crack.
It is then, and only then, that the pale, silver-haired, doll springs to life and darts to Urien's back side boldly...

...attempting to seize upon the possible opening. Both hands are lifted, palms together, and thrust out with fingers splayed as an incantation erupts from her painted lips like lightning, "Iyoiyozabatirakiraki!!!", the sound echoes briefly on the wind, before an eruption of flaming spheres spring forth from her hands one after another in a machine gun fashion!
But Mignon does not stop trying!
Continuing to push into Urien, she keeps running into him, again and again. "AAAAAAAH!" She screams as she continues to butt into the unyielding form of Urien. As the threat comes, though... she finally stops. "Aw Naw! Magnon as an bag trabble naw!" She exclaims, as her swollen tongue hangs out. "Baw Magnan asn't afraid! Magnan can balave!" As Urien explodes back into the girl, Mignon bravely thrusts her net into Urien as he comes rolling in.
The butterfly does not stop the rampage.
There is a snap as Mignon flies exploding off her feet. With a crash, she smashes into the brick wall, cratering violently into it face first. Very slowly, she peels off the brick wall, and after her, her broken butterfly net follows onto of the heap of her body. If that was not enough, pieces of brick tumbling off and onto her face. Her body is in a funny shape, but very, very slowly, Mignon rises back up to a standing position. Her eyes were walleyed, focused across independent points from each other. But as she turns around to watch her sister's doll attack Urien, she gives a feeble hop, and a thumbs up.
"Teeth har an bracks has alsa she bat, tangue har bat anly naw Magnan!"
She suddenly throws a hand across her forehead, eyes still focused on two independent points. Very slowly, they were begin to refocus. "PAWTOIE! PAWTOIE!" Are the spitting down as she spits out whole parts of bricks. "Na Ah! Magnan far awfal Haw! Backwards spakang also as Magnan San battar gat hapefally wall Magnan!" Making a little hop in the air, her tongue hangs out.
"Saraious gat tah tam!"
Mignon suddenly rushes after the occupied form of Urien with the UTMOST STEALTH. Outside the SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK of her shoes, of course. Running faster and faster, she attempts to leap through the air as she flails her arm around. But electrical energy was building in her limbs. Should she manage to close in on the titan's form, she will suddenly violently hug him, surging blazing electrical current into his body as she tries to buttling him to the ground once more!

Mignon has been pancaked into a wall; that felt good. Cathartic. Perhaps if she was cloned, he could make a fortune handing out copies of the girl to be destroyed by certain powerful people. There's something about snuffing out her chi that is delicious beyond words. Even Ninon cannot deny this fact, given her own love of abusing her older sister. Panting above her, dust whirling around him, Urien cracks his fingers one by one and looks about ready to do something unpleasant further to the girl.
And then Ninon does something that isn't useless.
Suddenly realizing her presence, he begins to turn just as the onslaught of fireballs begins to fire out point-blank. Each impacts Urien dead on, erupting into fire and flowing over his body. Somewhere in the midst, a disoriented Mignon is clinging to him, unleashing a massive lightning bolt that cracks from above. Surely this much focused energy upon the man when he has not properly brought up his guard will...
One foot stamps down, bursting from the lightning-arcing cloud of fire. Urien's enraged face is grinning down at Ninon, dragging the hapless Mignon along as if she wasn't there. Once more, a peculiar purple shield is shimmering around him. Only Ninon got through, but not by much... the soot-covered skin appears more irritated then anything else.
"Heh... that tickled...!!"
And then he brutally strikes in an overhead punch, knuckle attempting to strike Ninon from above and literally crater her into the alley proper with all the significant force and inhuman density he can muster!!

Ninon says, "OW"
The silver-haired goth loli realizes, about a second or so, after beginning her assault on Urien that perhaps choosing a spot so close to the monsterous Greek was a tactical error. After all, up til now, Mignon had basically proved to be as useless as always. He was bound to turn his attention to the one causing him the most trouble eventually. ... And that's exactly what happens.
Violet eyes track upwards as a clap of thunder comes from overhead, drawing Ninon's focus to the visage of the furious greek that appears from behind the curtain of clouds. Despite the fact that she had managed to make a mark on him, it still was not enough. Whether by sheer power, or by sheer fury, he wades through everything she and her sister had leveled at him to raise a fist to the sky...
...and bring it straight back down into her soft, almost ghostly white, features... mangling them momentarily and drawing blood as the sheer force of the punch sends her spawling backfirst into the concrete. A white flash fills her vision momentarily, just before striking pavement and her ears begin to ring. The concrete shatters, spider cracks creeping out into the surrounding pavement, as the gothic girl lay still. And she lay there for a good while, vision so blurry so that even if she tried to stand she would probably topple over.
...After a few moments, there is a stirring however. A pained groan escapes Ninon as she begins to, shakily, clamber to her feet. Her legs were still visibly wobbling. "...You...", comes a very belated, irritated, retort to his 'tickle' comment, "...you hit like a girl." Those violet eyes blink a few times, as she tries to rid herself of the bleariness, whilst a trickle of blood runs down right between her eyes. It's quickly wiped away with a dark sleeve before the smaller, but no less furious, girl runs right toward the mutant behemoth again extends her hands at a right angle from her body. As she nears him, she whirls on her heels... dragging those hands through the air as psionic energy begins to manifest from them again. The sweeping of her hands forms a suspended cloud of air and water that she releases at high speed toward him (and Mignon possibly). "...Raphael before me!!!"
"HALPAN AS MAGNAN!"
As Mignon's feeble lightning bolts seem to only invigorate Urien more, she continues to push into the giant as he roars into Ninon! Mignon doesn't seem to notice, until Ninon is hit. She suddenly snaps out of it, her eyes going straight again as she focuses on Ninon, gasping. And then, promptly, she stuffs her tongue back into her mouth. Giggling, she flashes a V sign as she raises back a leg behind her.
"Whoopsie doodles! Mignon forgot to put her tongue back inside her mouth!"
Dropping her leg down, Mignon scrunches her face up as she gives a dirty look to Urien. "Oh! You meany butt butt booger brain!" She caustically lashes out at the titan. And then, she looks back to her baby sister, trembling. "Oh no! Mignon baby sister is bleeding! This is awful! Mignon has to save her- aaaaaaaaah!" She suddenly screams as the energy is hurled through the air. Stumbling away with a SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK, she clears the way from Urien. Gasping for air only mere 10 feet away, she suddenly perks up, a finger in the air. "Ninon!"
"Mignon is going to help you now!"
Pointing down to where she stood, Mignon explains very slowly to Ninon. "Listen to Mignon, Ninon! Mignon is going to stand next to this big scary man, and try and use her magical healing! Mignon knows it will be very good to her sister! In fact! Mignon will call it...." Mignon gives a thumbs up towards Ninon.
"Excellent!~"
Mignon begins to sweep her arms around less spastically as normal. Winds begins to cast across the asphalt, as energy draws from within Mignon... and right for her doting, loving sister! "Mignon uses all the super special witchy magic that she knows! In the name of laughter and in the name of tears, in the name of hopes, in the name of fear! There's so much that we share, that's it's time we're aware!"
"It's a small world after all!"

Urien has proven to be quite an engine of destruction thus far; he's not particularly singed looking despite weathering the earlier attacks from the pair, and has proven the destructive force behind his singular attacks to each of them. Certainly, it is some manner of 'Boss' battle against the forces of evil. A slow exhale follows from Urien as he impacts a closed fist into his hand, spreading his stance to tower over the fallen Ninon.
"I boast a perfect defense, girl... attacks from the likes of you two...!!" Both of his arms surge with black lightning then, rolling up and gathering into dense, cloudly balls. Combining them into the palms of his hand, he aims the crackling onslaught towards Ninon as her own peculiar psionic power is also brought up.
Excellent.
"Eh?" Glancing away towards Mignon, it's an easy thing to capitalize on that opening to strike. Urien is hit dead in the face in that split second, taking a step backwards as the massive ball of superheavy chi fires out with a great CRACK like a thunderbolt. It misses Ninon by a half foot, striking the ground in a great quake and creating a perfectly round hole a good four feet in diameter, tearing down until the bottom is lost to the darkness. That time he did not bring up his defensive barrier, and his head aches heavily for the trade. "...!"
But she made him finally take a step away. Progress, isn't it? Perhaps he's not as invincible as he seems!

Ninon 1/------=/=======|===----\-------\0 Mignon
That surge of overwhelmingly strong black chi, arcing with electricity, that is hurled is an intimidating sight to behold for certain. Ninon already had some ideas about just how badly that would have hurt if it had made contact. But she was underestimating it even still by a mile! Thanks to the momentary distraction her sister provides, that ominous mass misses her person by a significant mark, whizzing past harmlessly to EXPLODE violently in the backdrop nearby and blow a hole into the earth that lead straight to hell! The roar of the explosion was so loud that it served only to strengthen the ringing in her ears...
...and whilst Urien is distracted by the effects of Ninon's floaty cloud of angry psionic magic, Mignon finally manages to do something sensible and come help her sister. Ninon's first response to the swiftly approaching squeaking noise is a mixture of fear and abject irritation. It was readily apparent in the widening of her violet eyes, almost as if some long buried trauma were awakening. She's honestly expecting Mignon to trip half-way over, headbutt her, and finish the job for Urien by knocking her INTO the hole! Deep within the confines of Ninon's mind, she's actively trying to figure out how to just make her sister go away...
...when she hears the word 'healing'. That only makes it so much worse. Mental images of Mignon setting her ablaze suddenly come, causing Ninon's violet pools outlined by smoky eyeshadow to shift to Mignon as she stumbles over her words. Whatever Urien is doing back there will have to wait, "..N-no! M-Mignon...!", she starts... trying to cut her sister off. But then, that thumbs up comes... followed by the oddly out-of-character 'Excellent'... and Ninon's eyes cross. Either she hadn't fully recovered from that punch earlier or... Mignon just broke her sister's brain...
Silence follows, for the duratio of the spell, Ninon possibly having just submitted herself to the mercy of fate by now. ... And surprise of suprises, the spell actually /works/. An unearthly wind blows from seemingly out of nowhere, embracing the gothic doll and sending her skirt a flutter. A danger she averts by promptly holding down her skirt like a proper Seijyun maiden should. And despite the momentary discomfort that comes wit the natural clashing of chi and psionic energies... Ninon's bleeding abates and she ultimately regains some of her fighting energy as well!
"..." It had to be said, but it was rather difficult in light of everything. Ninon was grateful to her sister. And she shows it the only way she rightly knows how, "...It would seem your magical skills are improving, dear sister..." There's not much of a smile or anything but... Mignon would likely understand: Ninon was pleased with her.
...And now, for the greek who was still very much a threat at this point. Ninon doesn't waste too much time contemplating what to do next. She had to captalize on the effects of her psionic attack and try and hit him whilst he's potentially open. And how she chooses to do so is rather unorthodox! Instead of simply hurling yet more psi attacks, the silver-haired doll in black dress runs right up into Urien's territory and attempts the impossible. She'll leap into the air and... with more than mild disgust, grab that damn near naked Greek by his filthy black THONG... and attempt to use her psionic energy to help her hurl him upwards. Where she will turn a flip in mid-air and attempt to plant a flat sole directly into his throat!
"Of -course- it helped!"
Mignon just ROLLS her eyes as she finishes her spell, and continues to remain close to Urien. "Wow Ninon! How can you ever impress Michael when you don't ever learn to have faith in your big sister! Mignon is one tough cookie, you know!" Thrusting a thumb to her chest, she squeaks a bit, giving a proud smile, as the energy crashes into Urien's titanic form. "And now, Mignon will show her lady like respect for our opponent, Ninon!"
"HAHAHAHAAH!"
Mignon points and laughs at Urien, snorting with laughter! "Oh my goodness, what a dumbbell! Mignon has never see someone mess up sad badly against Ninon's witch magic! " Mignon continues to point and laugh as Ninon comes hurtling in with stunning agility. The pick-haired girl slaps herself on the knee. "AHAHAH- Owies! Mignon has hurt herself slapping herself on the knee! And yet, it was still so funn0" The girl suddenly yawns as the effects of the concussion take over.
"-Okay now Mignon falls asleep!"
And Mignon suddenly closes her eyes and snores.

Ninon 1/------=/=======|==-----\-------\0 Mignon
Urien has had plenty of time to regain his stance while Ninon is busy being rightfully terrified by Mignon's advance. Of course, there's a simple issue with this that is quickly identified. The battle thong is gripped; it's actually of a fine material. Soft as silk. But then it's yanked upwards... and the hapless loli finds herself in the position of Atlas. All of her physical power and inertia don't even jostle Urien. He's far too heavy for her at the moment, with the entirety of his metallic chi coursing through his body. It's probably more then a little awkward, given that the ultimate end result is just touching what little clothing he wears.
"..."
And with that, Urien's entire body whirls, unleashing a brutal sidekick using the entirety of his significant range. Aiming to drive the heel into Ninon's chest and then attempt to launch her in a brutal scissor down the alley once more. A slow exhale follows, but something also that might be near curiosity. "Spells...?" They've been certainly muttering incantations the whole time. And neither has the classical look of energy -- it's taken multiple forms. Such an adaptable style interests him. Which is certainly much worse than the prospect of simply getting crushed.
"Surrender, fools!! Kneel before me, and I won't destroy you like insects!!" His arms spread, inviting further attacks from the pair as he simply stands there, grinning that crazed grin. "There might be more value in keeping you both alive!!"

...Ninon, admittedly, hadn't expected to be able to budge the titan honestly. But she had, at least, expected her attempt to do /something/. Even if it just ultimately made him angrier. But... there ws nothing... expect AWKWARD touching that, in hindsight, she probably shouldn't have done! If a teacher or student of Seijyun saw her, at this moment, she would forever be forced to hide her face. ... Or perhaps, set people on fire. One way or another...
...Urien's reaction eventually comes, and it's as swift and brutal as one might expect a kick from such a monster to be. The initial whirling, which tugs the thong from her gasp, gives the lithe little Seijyun student a forewarning though. And it's a warning that saves her, the girl hurling herself into the air and back with another fltutering of her skirt. Her hand touches the shattered pavement, momentarily, as she performs an acrobatic flip that takes her just out of range of that sweeping strike! And she lands upon her feet again a few feet away with an impassive stare leveled at Urien.
"...What makes you believe that I am afraid to be destroyed?", comes a soft, even, and dully unemotional reply. "...All things must end, even you... life is but a passing dream..." A blink or two follows, accompanied by a brief silence, and then... she giggles... darkly... "...You are very powerful indeed. But I remain unconvinced that /you/ are capable of killing us..." Then, she hears the snoring in the background... and her eyelids drop as she is reminded who her partner is. "...Though, perhaps, you might be able to kill her..." Ninon knew full well though that assuming victory over Mignon, who was dangerously unpredictable, could prove to be more trouble than even the Greek could bargain for. "...I welcome you to try either way..."

"Abububububu...."
Mignon snores lightly as she shuts her eyes. Arms hanging limply at her sides, she just hangs there. She does sneeze for a moment, as Ninon evades a skeleton-shattering kick. As she denounces the meaning of life and existence, Mignon yawns a bit, smacking her lips. But then, Nino says welcome.
And suddenly she wakes up!
"Oh No! Mignon went asleep!" She exclaims loudly, thrusting a finger in the air. Hopping up and down in place, she continues to flail about. "Tootle Loo! Mignon has to focus! Ninon! Make sure you protect Mignon as Mignon makes her super-special awesome attack! Mignon got this! Mignon will have to use her kitty kung fu to defeat this-" Mignon gasps. "Ninon! This is terrible!"
He is naked!
Mignon blushes bright red. "Oh no! Mignon can almost see his naughty parts! Ninon! How long has he been like this! I hope your innocence is protected! Mignon doesn't want her little baby sister to get preggers! Mignon will have to plant a cabbage patch in her crabgrass garden for Ninon's baby to come!" Mignon swallows hard, and fills herself with courage. "Mignon must be brave in protecting her baby sister's innocence!" Charging straight for Urien, she flails her arms around. "Mignon has to save her with KITTY KUNG FU!
And Mignon tries to tackle Urien and knock him down!

At the moment, Urien's attention is focused entirely on the more competent of the two. He's growing accustomed to dealing with the harmless kitten-like antics of Mignon. It's like dealing with an overactive child who somehow got transposed into the body of an idiot. At least his stretch-o-max thong survived the salacious grippings of the emo doll without any undue harm. Or loss in decency.
"Heh... heheheh...!! All things must end? What garbage is that?" Urien shifts one palm upwards, fingers lightly clenching. "I was born to become a God. I have seen ascension. I know the true limits of humanity... and how to surpass them!! Do not--ah, just a moment--"
Urien takes a slight step to the side as Mignon goes flying towards him, right in the direction of the four foot wide hole his missed assault made earlier.
He then steps back where he was. "--Put me in the same league as you and your pathetic, neutered dreams...!!" And then he stamps forward, rearing back his sleekly muscled upper body and strongly thrusting his right arm forward. A mass of dark black and purple energy rockets down from his shoulder, gathering mass before being launched like a softball right towards Ninon. It's not nearly as powerful as the one she avoided earlier, but it's much faster...!

Ninon 1/-------/=======|==-----\-------\0 Mignon
Ninon says, "owie"
A smacking sound of flesh on flesh comes, as Ninon facepalms at her sister's half-asleep rambling. How could she only now have noticed he was naked?! No wait, she surely... and then it dawns on her... and she drops her hand with an exasperated sigh. Mignon had the attention span of a gnat. "...Pregnancy doesn't work that way... I...", and then Ninon just gives up. ...Why bother? Mignon isn't listening anyway...
There's a small twitching of the right corner of the girl's mouth as the extravagant ravings of a clearly mad man are leveled at her suddenly. Her eyes track back toward the Greek... and the twitching becomes the beginnings of a smirk. She's seen this tight of maniac before, even if it was mostly in stories. A tyrant so drunk on his power he refused to recognize his own mortality. None of it was really too surprising. But it /was/ amusing, never the less. It was like being in the hero in one of those awful Saturday morning cartoon's her sister doubtlessly watched.
Thus she remains silent, effectively motionlessly, as he carries on. Even when her sister darts toward him, screaming about Kitty Kung-Fu and ... gets sidestepped. Her violet eyes open fully, from her prior half-lidded stare, as Mignon goes flying toward the hole behind Urien but...
She does not dart over to try and save her. It's not as though she didn't care, of course, but... Ninon was too far away and she still had the Greek to deal with. Her sister would be have to rely on fate once more, as always. "...I have no neutered dreams.", Ninon replies truthfully, even as that mass of higly destructive chi gathers once more. "...Unlike you, I harbor no delusions of my mortality!"
There comes a deafening roar that drowns out all sound near Ninon momentarily, foreshadowing her possible demise as it tears up the pavement. Yet, she stares into the enchroaching black abyss without even a hint of concern. "Holy Fire...", Ninon begins, as a strong psionic presence begins to manifest suddenly around her, churning, "...King of Silence!" And suddenly that churning of psionic energy becomes a truly /enormous/ column of swiftly spinning wind that surrounds her body with a diameter of roughly ten feet and spirals up into the sky! It tosses much of the surrounding debris skyward, and what it does not it tosses all around. The ominous howling of the cyclone competes, for a few moments, with the thunderous approach of that deadly chi orb...
Then... chi briefly meets with psi, the clashing of two very opposed energies seems to act as a catalyst, causing that abyss-like mass of energy to spark even more so! But... the spheres wins out in the end... Urien proving the difference in power between them finally with catastrophic results. There is a blast that flings yet more concrete into the violently churning winds, and then... it stops. The cyclone dissipates suddenly, as though the wind never even existed. And heavy slabs of debris rain down all around. Where is Ninon...?
She is embedded firmly in a hole about thrice her size, battered and bloody. Far worse for wear now than when he'd punched her earlier. After a few moments, she begins to stir from her unconsciousness though, tiny hands feel about as if for confirmation of her continued existence. Her vision is blurred, body heavy as a boulder, yet... somehow she still manages to sit up and... cough. "...I think I am almost saw the pearly gates that time...", she states... still seemingly without much real concern. "...That's too bad." And, she forces herself to stand and stagger back out of the hole like the persistent bug she is. "...Okay... maybe you /can/ kill me..."
"...Maybe..." If he were to set eyes on her now, she has changed into something almost more horrfying than she was. A good foot or so of her skirt has been burnt and/or torn off thoroughly, exposing a pair of equally torn black stockings from which pale skin stained with blood peeks out. Her skirt is now /dangerously/ high... her purity protected perhaps only by a thin layer of torn fabric. Her silver hair is disheveled, her hair barrette missing, and matted with the blood that continues to stream down her strained features. The top half of her dress is likewise burnt and shredded, the entire right has in fact been blown off... exposing her arm, what's left of a barely surviving strapless white bra, and part of her now dirtied and bruised abdomen.
As she finishes her ascent, however, she smiles at him through half-lidded, mischievous, eyes. "...I'm not dead yet, though."
Mignon was being made fun of!
As her Kitty Kung Fu was easily countered by Urien's relatively low mobility, the girl stumbles a bit, before shifting back on balance. Looking around confused, she scratches her head. "Oh no! Mignon thought she was doing the right thing! But she didn't do it right!" She hears a blast, and her eyes goes wide. Turning back towards Ninon, the girl gasps. "Oh no." She says quietly, before shouting at her sister.
"Ninon!
SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK is the sound as she runs towards Ninon. Face turning bright red, she suddenly lectures her "Cover yourself up! It's very important that you do not dress like a very naughty girl! Very bad men will get a very bad idea about what kind of girl you are! It is bad enough that you are a mopey-bo-popey! But if you expose your delicates to everyone, anyone can take advantage of your purity and innocence! And a good witch is always pure and innocent!"
"ALSO YOU ARE BLEEDING!"
Mignon nearly screams that. Eyes burning with HOT ANGER, she turns towards Urien, face puffing up. Tightening her hands into fists, she leans forward, shouting at the big man. "You big meanie! How dare you attack my baby sister's sweet and innocent cabbage patch of purity and womanhood! Look at you! You are running around a public place practically naked, molesting young ladies like Mignon! Have you no decency! Why you make Mignon so...." She raises her hands in the air angrily. "WHY YOU MAKE MIGNON SO!!!"
Suddenly a bomb appears in her hands.
"..." Mignon stares at the bomb in her hands. This was chi magic. Because of the chi powers, she now has a bomb in her hands. For everything that theme was about, it was thrown out the window because Mignon. Has. a bomb. Eyes going wide, she suddenly screams. "OH NO NOT AGAIN MIGNON IS DOING THE AWFUL THING! MIGNON HAS A BOMB!" She screams, running around in circles as the bomb's fuse begins to burn down. "MIGNON IS GOING TO ASPLODE! WHAT WOULD GRAN-GRAN DO!?!" Mignon stops, focusing hard as she thinks as hard as she possibly can on exactly what Gran-Gran. And suddenly, she knows.
"Gran-Gran would throw the bomb away, and take cover!"
And Mignon throws the bomb away towards Urien's feet!
"Yes! You are in trouble now, mister molester!"

This entire series of events just makes Urien feel stupid. The only particularly useful information is that manifesting his elemental powers while enraged causes the latest prototype of the G-Suit to still explode, which is already bad news. He also remembers his phone was in his pocket; how on earth is he supposed to call for a pickup now? But he can feel a sudden rush of potent chi. From... Mignon? Something must not be right at all, here. Whirling around, he summons up a thundering amount of power. Black coils of pure energy run up and down his body in preparation, the ground rumbling lightly as if a localized earthquake was taking place.
The bomb is hucked lazily and rolls to a stop at Urien's feet.
"AEGIS REFLECTOR!!"
A massive wall of purple-black energy, a much more condensed and mastered version that he has used to shrug off almost every attack thrown just far, appears before him.
It slowly moves towards Mignon, bumping into the bomb.
The bomb listlessly rolls to Mignon's feet instead.

Ninon 1/-------/=======|-------\-------\0 Mignon
Throughout Mignon's protracted rant about purity and lady-like manners, Ninon just sort of stands there. She weathers the storm of nonsense, as she almost always does, Mignon's words rolling off of her like rain off of canopy leaves. Ninon didn't have to be told what she looked like, but there were more pressing concerns really. Like, you know, blood loss. Not that you could tell by looking at her that she had any. For all an unknowing spectator might be able to tell, she was wearing someone else's blood. Her inhuman paleness often made her seem quite... dead.
It takes Mignon about a minute, but you can almost hear a feeble sparking of brains cells. She finally notices, and Ninon still has yet to move. In the interrim between the manifestation of Mignon's Wrath and her shouting, Ninon finally manages something, "...So I am...", before Mignon explodes at Urien suddenly and her stream of consciousness rant is off of her sister again.
...Then, the hands go up in the air and Ninon feels a chill run up her spine for the first time tonight. It draws her eyes upwards slowly, a look of more-than-mild concern mars her features. Suddenly, her own sister was more of a danger to her own life than Urien. One can never really predict what Mignon will do, because even Mignon herself doesn't seem to know. But Ninon has become adapt at sensing when /something/ bad was about to happen after years of living with Chaos Incarnate. So even before the bomb manifests, she is already quietly side-stepping away...
...and when the bomb begins to roll back just moments later, Ninon is forced to make a split-second decision. Jump in between Mignon and the bomb and try, possibly in vain, to reflect it... or just dart the hell away.
...And despite all common sense, the already injured and bleeding Ninon rushes in between her sister and the slowly encroaching bomb shouting, "...Uriel before me!!!" and spreading her arms wide as yet another cyclone of psionic energy churns to life suddenly around her. ...And the bomb is tossed airborne, before dropping toward Urien again from above...
Mignon runs for cover.
Running all of 10 feet away, Mignon crouches down, holding her hands over her ears. "And now Mignon has taken cover! Mignon is super-duper safe now! Mignon was very smart!" As the roar comes, Mignon continues to duck and cover. She hardly notices anything amiss, as she waits for the bomb to explode.... and then, it rolls quietly beside her.
And her eyes goes wide.
"Oh no! Mignon is now next to the bomb! How was Mignon supposed to know that the meanie butt man was going to make the bomb roll towards her! This is the worst thing in the world with the bomb! Mignon is in a whole of trouble!" Mignon tries to run away, but immediately trips, and lands on her bottom. Look aghast at the bomb, she hides her eyes...
"Uriel Before Me!"
The cry comes, and Mignon peeks out from her hands. The bomb was gone, going airborne with hot potato, and in its place was Ninon! Mignon gasps, before bounces back up with a squeak "Ninon has saved Mignon! Oh my goodness! Mignon is so happy!" Lurching in towards her sister, she gives Ninon a BIG HUG with lots of squeaking. Mignon was crying now. "Mignon is alive! Oh! Mignon is very weak now, but Mignon will use the last of her strength to protect you, Ninon!" Channeling the healing magic, she begins to infuse Ninon with a flash of energy, bursting with life-giving energy, as she does not release the hug. And up close, she says with a big squeeze.
"Mignon loves you!"

The explosive bomb is launched into the air by Ninon, as his shimmering wall of energy continues to hover slowly forward. But Urien simply crosses his arms, sneering towards the heavens as it begins a listless descent in his direction. "Heh! As if. I can't believe I let myself get started by..."
And then it explodes.
It's actually not a very small eruption of energy. A great ball of fire and smoke that completely engulfs Urien, blowing debris and cement dust over the pair. Did they finally stagger the monolithic Greek? Apparently not. He's still standing where he was, arms brought up to cover his face. His head is aching, but more then anything his wounded pride. Eyes are wide and nearly bloodshot, teeth clenched so hard they creak lightly in the silence following the attack.
And then he's in the air, roaring up in a great arc. The sun high above gleams behind him, potent manoil still giving him a great shine. Only to descend like a meteor, building up his personal gravity and density as he nears the ground... before impacting with incredible force, a veritable cannonball of angry demigod intent on annihilating the one who is far more vulnerable at the moment...!!

Ninon 1/-------/=======|====---\-------\0 Mignon
Ninon had, honestly, not given much thought to whether that would actually succeed or not. In hindsight, it probably shouldn't have. While Ninon had indeed managed to momentarily forestall her sister's, and possibly her own, demise... there was little room for doubt in Ninon's mind that explosion would not do the Greek titan in. Ninon had perhaps, at best, made him just want to kill them even more so. Especially Ninon, for consistently thwarting him and injuring his person...
...Her violet eyes shift toward the edge of her peripheral vision, arms still spread wide from her incantation. Mignon's arms wrap around Ninon's battered, bruised, and bloody form, and tighten. Every bone and muscle screamed, just from Mignon's delicate grip. "...A-AAAHH... D-don't...!", Ninon struggles weakly as if to shake her now sobbing sister's grip. But it was pointless, she was just too tired. Instead, she drops her arms... face going mildly flush despite the blood loss. Then the healing energy comes. ... Yes, there were clearly reasons why Ninon stood beside her horribly broken sister for all thes years.
She loved Mignon too. However stressful and begrudging that could be at times.
...
...And no sooner does Mignon finish healing Ninon, yet again, and Urien proves Ninon's assumption to be correct. He plows through the air almost faster than Ninon can register, right over the smaller sister, and smashes right into Mignon! There's an instant where Ninon's violet eyes pop open, lips parting to spit something out, and before she knows it he blurs right past her.
Ninon turns on her heels, immediately, reinvigorated by her sister's magic and more than a little irate now herself. Her eyes become thin slits, the much smaller, half-undressed and thoroughly injured girl charges at Urien's backside and leaps at him. If she can grab him, she'll attempt to clamber up his backside, flip overhead whilst grasping his shoulders, and place her feet firmly upon his face. If she succeeds at this, she'll perform an insulting stomp kick to his face with all of her strength before rolling right off... "Get lost!"
*KABOOM!*
As the healing energies are surged into her sister, Mignon gasps for some air. Sweat was beginning to desperately soak her outfit. She had been smashed into a brick wall already, and with all her endless energy, she was beginning to hit some kind of limited extreme. But Mignon would NOT give up. As the fallout of the blast clears, she pumps a hand in the air. "Don't worry Ninon! Mignon has your back! She will never give up! and she will never-"
"G-UAGH"
Mignon's smile snaps into a pained grimace as Urien whips into her like a cannonball. The greek titan craters Mignon, smashing her into asphault. Her pink jumpsuit was torn badly, and beginning to become soaked with a whole new kind of fluid. Flecks of blood spray from her mouth, as her tongue lolls out with a cough. Tears build into her eye as she makes a very quiet groaning sound. Ninon comes roaring in after Urien, as Mignon twitches. She trembles.
And Mignon rises again.
Sickening pops come as Mignon forces herself upright, her every being held together by sheer energy. Weakly, she lets out a chipper announcement. "Mignon... is okay! Mignon's insides feel like pas-ghetti! But Mignon is alive! Haha haha! Mignon hurts when she laughs." She groans a bit, clutching her stomach. She stumbles around a bit, stumbling towards Urien. Blind by pain, she simply falls towards him, leaning into him head first. It would just be a resting.... if it wasn't Mignon doing it. Tripping over her broken ankle, Mignon stumbles forward, threatening to shove Urien right to the ground.
With a headbutt, it seems.

Ruthless, more then anything, likely describes Urien at the moment.
Ninon has free reign to climb Mt. Adonis, his skin having a peculiar, rough texture in the midst of his transformation. He reaches back for her with a free hand, but only rips off another handful of her black dress for the effort. His white hair is grasped, feet find his face, and a fierce kick is probably mostly used to vault Ninon away; he didn't budge all that much, although he's grasping his face. "...!! I've never seen such an unerotic sight!!"
But then there's the sudden thump of Mignon's forehead into his belly, and her scrabbling feet trying to knock him over. Stamping one foot into the ground, he lets out a growl before suddenly swishing out the other. The heel of his foot catches her right in the midsection, folding the tiny girl over before showcasing an impressive flexibility as his foot points straight up, a crescent of dust and debris whirling out before him.
And then he stamps down, depositing Mignon upon the ground and then crushing her down. After a moment, his body flares with chi, doubling his already considerable weight; grinding his heel down as the alley begins to cave inwards, threatening to shatter and spill into the subway and sewer systems beneath.
"Die, you useless trash...!!"
Ninon rolls across the ground, springing to her feet shortly afterward again with an even more furious expression than she began with. Not only had he tried to kill her sister, but he also insulted her womanhood! Not that he could see that really, Ninon wore panties like any decent lady but still it was the principal of the thing!
"...I'm going to send you to he-...", she begins with a threat... but is cut off by the sight of Mignon tripping over a broken ankle and falling toward Urien. Her angry mask breaks, concern entering her features... but before she can even attempt to catch her, Mignon is brutally kicked in the midsection and then hoisted into the air...
...before being brought back down with a gut wrenching -cracking- of pavement... and possibly Mignon's bones as well.
"Die, you useless trash...!!"
Ninon's only response to her sister possibly being killed in front of her is exactly what you'd expect. She charges Urien down again recklessly, with little to no regard for her own safety, blinding by red hot anger and a desire to see him dead. Her worn, singed, black flats scrape across the pavement as she sails back in his territory, hands together and fingers splayed, "IyoiyozabatirakiRAKI!!!", if the incantation is finished, a bursting of flames will spring forth from Ninon's hands again... flaming spheres screaming at Urien one after another in machine gun fashion!
Urien wasn't yielding.
Trying to run faster and faster, Mignon continues to pour into the unbroken form of the titan. Eyes still filled with tears, she groans. "No! Mignon will not let evil... win!" But evil had no time for that crap. The heftiest leg comes around, roaring with the full force of G-Project strength. The kick shatters Mignon's ribcage as she folds over it. She has enough time to squeak... as she is suddenly down in a massive crater underfoot, once again. She lies in the hole, her grave, for a moment. And then, a tiny peep comes from the woman's broken form.
"Mignon..."
Mignon musters up a stand again. She was still smiling, still perky. But she wasn't all together, physically. She struggle with every movement, struggles with every step. Gritting her teeth through the smile, she digs her feet down hard on the pavement. Raising a hand up, a great ball of chi begins to build. Burning with hot chi flames, she begins to channel the energy, trembling with every ounce of her body. Taking in a deep breath, she holds her hand like a gun, aiming it down the line straight for Urien. Sighing loudly, she fires the blast across the stretch, with a death rattle.
"Focus!"
The fireball is hurtled forth, roaring outward very slowly. Rumbling across the asphalt, it knocks Mignon flying backwards from the blast. She tumbles once. Squeak. Twice. Squeak. And upon the third flip, she comes to a rest, face down. Squeak squeak. She is silent, unmoving, unbroken. The only sign of life was a spastic twitch of her leg. Another spastic twitch of the leg.
And high-pitched, pained snore from her, as she sleeps.

Ninon 1/------=/=======|
Urien once more simply brings up his guard, crackling with defensive energy as the onslaught of Ninon's fury impacts the massive fighter. Each explodes in a crackle, but only barely passes through; the sum result only makes the darkened figure even more singed as a result. Somewhere deep inside, a sort of pained throbbing had begun. The sheer volume of strikes the pair have done are beginning to wear him down, exhaustion setting in. Or was it exasperation? Difficult to pinpoint which. Likely both.
Of course, the latest attack from Mignon looks like it might actually have been capable of doing some damage, were it not so painstakingly slow. Crouching down, another leap upwards sends a minute shockwave behind, allowing the whirling chiball to flit beneath and impact one of the nearby buildings.
Landing with a crash in a four-point stance, Urien then launches himself towards Ninon. He's fast for a man his size and weight; brutal strikes that are sheerly efficient. Ninon would be able to defend herself at the onset, but the goal is to find a moment of vulnerability -- and then do a brutal standing clothesline, to impact her right in the throat. "Hnnn!!"

Ninon 1/---====/=======|
Frustratingly, Ninon's second attempt at burning the hide off of Urien goes less than swimmingly. In fact, she manages to do very little except visible tarnish his adonis perfect frame a bit more. Of course, at this point, probably every little jab at his ego hurt. "Tch... why won't you di-...", and then a fightful rumbling comes as Mignon fires off a slow moving fireball from somewhere behind her. Urien leaps into the air in an attempt to avoid being struck by slow moving behemoth, and Ninon...
...Ninon instead turns slowly, staring into it as the searing, bright orange, light cast off of its surface colors her face and reflects briefly in her surprised violet pools. Her lips part, but no sound comes out, Ninon's only thought is...
.../Why/ couldn't you do that earlier?!
...just before she dives off to the side, a bit of her dress catching fire as the licking flames make brief contact in passing. She immediately rolls across the ground, trying to snuff it out on the pavement... before springing to her feet again at the end of her roll. Just leaps to her feet just iin time to see a glimpse of the fireball's destructive impact against a nearby building. The thing exploding with a thunderous roar as flames wash over the brick surface, blackening it. And a portion of the wall collapses shortly after the collision. Then, the angry self-proclaimed God of G Project enters her vision and she regains her focus...
...there's a moment or two before he arrives, and a dance ensues as Ninon frantically tries to dodge the punches flung at her. The first misses, but the second impacts, and whatever others follows only daze her even more... white hot pain hijacking her senses and leaving her sitting pretty for that final brutal clothesline to the throat! There's a strangled briefly, as the inhumanly strong arm firmly imbeds itself into her throat... and then she's flung to the ground where she shatters concrete again with her body...
...her eyes roll back in her head momentarily, as she regains consciousness... and then drop back down upon a monster that would probably like nothing more than to end her now. "...Unngh...", she groans, pushing herself out of the impact crater before clambering to her feet. One punch hard pretty much already reduced her to where she was prior to receiving healing... blood pouring from re-opened wounds. And yet, she felt he could probably do a lot worse... and would... if she didn't give him everything she had...
...and slowly, a dull purple energy begins to eke out from Ninon... slowly at first... but then it picks up to the point it completely encases her form. It begins to throb, rhythmically, and then she rises into the air like a marionette on strings. She lifts her head, it's more like it rolls back really... accentuating the doll appearance. Her hands raise, simultaneously, palms going flat, as that energy continues to throb... and it starts getting violent, "ZAZASZAZASNASATANADAZAZAS!" comes another of Ninon's freight train-like chants... and the energy flows out from her body in a mass... forming an enormous cloud of energy that threatens to choke out the light from the area as it rises into the sky aboove. Its shadow utterly consumes the area where Ninon and Urien are located.
...And then? Fire. Fire begins to rain down from that cloud hanging above like a meteor shower! These aren't tiny, flaming, spheres either... each of them are at least as large as Ninon and they roar down toward the ground with ferocious speed thratening to flatten anything caught under them!
...And, no matter what become of Urien, the cloud dissipates into the atmosphere harmlessly at the end... letting the sun back in. And Ninon drops to the ground, utterly spent...

Ninon 0/-------/------=|
Ninon crumples, as is to be expected from one of Urien's opponents. Tenacity is not something he admires. It is a disgusting, pathetic act done by lesser creatures...! Disregarding the girl turns out to be a mistake. He had thought her finally beaten, but the fragmented gothic still appears to have some power in her. Panting now, he growls while whirling to face her as she ascends. "Again with these petty tricks...?! Magicians, that is all you are!! All the weight of powder and flash!!"
He opens his arms, laughing as the sky begins to darken. He has no abiility to sense psionic power; and that is a dangerous handicap, given he has no idea that this attack is entirely different from any she's thrown before. "Come, then!! I'll tear you down from your little pedestal, and--"
Then a fireball hits him in the face.
Urien staggers backwards, not anticipating that kind of ferocity. Another hits him, then another, bringing up his arms before letting out a brutal cry of anger and pain. A few seconds of scorching inferno occupy where Urien was, and when it dissipates... the Greek demigod is finally on his knees. One hand braces himself, reeling as he grasps the side of his head.
"...!!"
No further comment. He suddenly kicks upwards, running forward with a wordless cry of sheer rage. Whirling about, he swings his heel in a sharp arc -- trying to impact the end of it right into Ninon's face!!

Ninon 0/-------/-----==|
Whilst Urien deals with the impact of her last ditch effort to send him straight to hell, Ninon pushes herself up to her knees. Around her, pretty much the whole area outlined by that ominous black cloud has been reduced to smashed, burnt black, rubble. A car not too far away has since caught fire due to the beating it has taken, and the shrill, penetrating, scream of the car alarm induces headaches in the already weakened black witch. She had spent nearly all of her psionic reserves by now, and her physical energy as well either from all of the little attacks she's been hurling around or that miniature armageddon she wrought just now.
It was only a matter of time until Urien smashed her into the pavement one last time and she would possibly die for real.
That thought drags Ninon up off of her knees and onto her feet again, where she staggers sideways from exhaustion before catching herself. Just in time to see a whirling heel being swung in a wide arc right toward her!
She pathetically throws her arms up, offering almost no resistance as the kick bashes her back first into another car nearby and the windshield shatters with a shrill cry. Ninon's foremost defending arm breaks too, pain shooting through it. Yet, through gritted teeth she lashes out at him pathetically with a kick of her own weakened by exhaustion. A kick she already knows won't do much, but by god if she was going to die she'd go down fighting!

"That hurt...!" Urien states, seething obviously. What is with this terrible headache?! His body feels violated in a way only one other fighter has ever managed! "THAT HURT, YOU BITCH!!" He's been pressured for sure at this point. A mild limp, and his breath comes in great, ballooning exhales. But getting close is certainly not going to be much of a consolation prize, if she doesn't survive the experience. In a thorough rage, he brings up a forearm and catches the kick dead center. It might have hurt Ninon's foot more then the brutish figure, from the looks of it. But a moment later, he again stomps down and swings, pivoting into a rapid, brutal strike trying to strike Ninon in the chest, and smash her upper body through the car's window. And then punch again. And again. It's the best way to vent out his rage at the moment... punching a lolita can cure many ailments, he has found.

Ninon 0/-------/-======|
Ninon's weakened kick did little to actually harm him. Glancing off his impenetrable forearm seemingly, just as almost all of her physical attacks had tonight. Pretty much the only weapon she had against this monster, her psionic energy, she was just about out of. Which pretty much meant she was at his mercy now...
...Ninon doesn't bother to answer the question, doesn't respond to the derogative term, and she really doesn't have time to as Urien is appreciably ruthless in regards to venting his pent up fury on her. His blow to her chest hits exactly where intended, her ribcage shattering and blood spewing forth from her mouth and dribbling down her lip as the car door dents with the force. Blow after pulverizing blow hits her body and leaves her really and truly wondering when her body was going to give out and her heart...
...stop.
The car door is finally smashed in, the goth loli in tattered black dress lands inside in a broken heap ontop of the warped door and she's thoroughly unconscious. No fighting back, no last words, no motion... just... stillness. Even as her blood runs down the metal siding of the door and into the floor...

Urien isn't done here. No, not in the slightest. These two have thoroughly crossed the line. They will be crushed into dust, buried alive, tortured, killed, cloned, then killed again...!!
Of course, then the wailing sirens finally arrive. The time since Urien's initial explosion has been a few minutes, and the added attacks and pyrotechnics only added to the severity of the ordeal. A good four police cars screech to a stop on either side of the alley, flanked by SWAT Assault vehicles. Countless pistols and shotguns and some automatic weaponry are aimed at Urien, who sneers while swishing back and forth.
They all shout for him to step away from Ninon, but he isn't having any of it. Rearing back his arm, the call to fire follows without hesitation. His body crackling with energy, the majority of the small arms ricochet off or flatten on his muscles, but the shotgun slugs stagger him, forcing him to bring up his forearms defensively. With a roar he levels both hands at one side of the alley, firing off one of his super-dense spheres. They dive away as one police car is annihilated, side of an assault car further impacted and sent spinning in a screech of sparks into the street behind.
"Insects!!" But there's too many. Specialized police are rushing forward for melee combat wielding tonfa and stunguns. With a roar Urien brings up his forearms, slamming into the ground and kicking up another cloud of dust and cement as the street lurches a final time. When it clears, a great hole has finally been cloven through, leading to the underground infrastructure of the city.
As a manhunt for the half-naked Greek is begun, Ninon and Mignon are given emergency first aid and prepared to be airlifted to the hospital... in the end, they prevented any further loss of life. From a man who tried to walk away without further conflict at the onset.
...Okay, so maybe nobody was a hero.
COMBATSYS: Urien has ended the fight here.
