Chapter 6:Road to the Evil Sorceress II

[Stella]

Stella tapped her foot impatiently staring at the evil little cottage that had first eaten her instructors, Seifer Almasy especially, and then her team mates. She sighed and paced back and forth a bit, staring.

It had been ten minutes, hadn't it? Glancing down at her watch for the millionth time she growled to herself. Enough of this waiting, I'm going in.

Pulling her pistols out she aimed at an area where a window used to be. Taking a deep breath she reached for the core of power that laid deep in her.

"Bullet Clash" she whispered calling on the power of her limit break. Round after round flew from the magazine of her guns each one landing with a loud crash and exploding on impact against the small infernal cottage of doom.

[ST]

Yay, Stella!
-----------------------------------

Boys

The ice shards from Jax's blizzaga rains around the room, hitting everyone in some way. Some of you are hit, some are hit in order to shield the mysterious lady. However, the battle is just heating up. Noone will have this lady but you. If there's going to be bloodshed, then so be it.

And then suddenly, loud, consecutive gunfires from outside shatters the wall in the corner, buying your attention. As the smoke clears up, a woman enters. However, you seem to forget who she is. You only have eyes for one woman now. Another female doesn't matter.


Stella

As you step past the entrance you have forcefully created, you feel the uneasy sensation that you felt the first time your team were teleported into this dream world. It's like you have stepped inside another barrier.

Once inside, the spacious living room astounds you. It certainly doesn't look like a cottage. There's no sign of Seifer, Quistis, and Selphie anywhere; however, your teammates are no doubt inside. Their eyes are all set to you, but noone is talking. They seem to be fighting something since they're filled with scrapes and bruises.

On one corner is a lovely woman, sitting like a queen in front of the boys. From a distance, her dirty look aimed towards you is unmistakable.

Hadrian turns back to the other men and goes for Jax. "Y-you'll pay for that, you punk. I'll kill you first!" He lunges on the pilot and starts feeding him knuckle sandwiches.

Oh, and to anyone who "wants to make Hadrian bleed"! Go ahead. ^_^

Hadrian: .....!

[Diego Stanton]

Deo seemed to snap out of his daze for a split second when Stella entered the room but he didn't seem to recognize who it was. He didn't care who it was. He only cared about taking out all the other filth.

"Y-you'll pay for that, you punk. I'll kill you first!" Deo heard Hadrian yell at Jax. Deo picked up a lamp from a nearby table and smashed it over Hadrian's head without warning.

"This ends now!" He yelled, picking up a chair. He swung it full force at the person standing next to him.

[Jax Ridean]

Hadrian had lunged himself at Jax and had been able to throw a couple a good punches when---CRASH

He keeled over. Completely knocked out.

Standing behind his body was, Deo who was holding a shattered china vase.

The two looked at eachother for a fraction of second.

Then it hit Jax. He narrowed his eyes. "Think you're going take me out next do you?"

With no weapon, he rushed Deo and tackled him into the wall

He was kneeing him in the stomache, slamming his head against the table.

Glass was shattered.

Chairs knocked over.

Blood started to stain his hands.

She's mine...

[Rayden]

Rayden rushed up to Deo. He had joined in the fray too, crashing a vase over Hadrian's head when a while ago he apepared rather subdued. I'll bet it's just a ploy to make people pull down their guard. How sneaky! But just as Rayden was preparing a flare spell to flambe all of them Deo swung a chair at him and hit his stomach right in the centre. Rayden could see stars swimming all over his vision, doubling up before coughing out strains of blood-mingled saliva with the sour tinges of stomach acid.

"Stinking bag of shits..." Rayden shot out his arm, barbequeing all of them with his Flare, narrowly avoiding the strangely forbidding figure that just walked in moments ago. "Die... you punks!

[Stella]

At first Stella was amused. How could she not be? After all they were all behaving like spoiled boys. But when they started hurting each other, well, that was just too much. None of them seemed to notice her, good thing she had come to their rescue.

Crossing the room she reloaded her pistols her eyes meeting the gaze of the other woman steadily. Stopping just a few feet in front of her Stella leveled her gun holding it inches from the woman's forehead.

"Whatever spell you have them under, release it" Stella said darkly pulling the hammer back of her pistol back the click filling the air around her.

[ST]

Stella

"Hmm?" the mysterious woman laughs at you. "Do you honestly think I'll give in to such meager requests?" She flips her flowing hair over hear shoulders. "Careful with those guns honey, you don't want to mess with my boys." Sauntering to the nearest guy, she hides behind Sho and wraps an arm around his neck. "One word from me, and I can make them kill you. What are you going to do then, huh?" She smiles cruelly at you.

[Hadrian D'arcell]

Omg x.x Vulgarity fest continues =_=
----------------------------------------------

The Flare Rayden casted over everyone slapped Hadrian back to consciousness. "HOT! HOT! HOT!" the hacker quickly sprung up and rolled on the carpet to kill the fire. He could feel a cut on his head, and his anger flowed back in full force. There was another snake who went behind his back again!

"Look b!tches, why can't you just f*ck off already!!" he shouted once again. "CQ, damn it!" In an instant, the empty space in front of Hadrian was cut and female hands came out, opening the gash even wider. Crawling out from a cyber dimension, a mechanical angel came out into reality with hundreds of wires coiled around her naked form like tentacles.

"Right riiiight, now take those b!tches out!" Hadrian maniacally pointed to the guys. The metals from the window panes, the chandeliers, metals from the fireplace all gathered around Corpora Quadrigemina, and were all modified to dozens of adamantium spears.

"Mechanical Armaggedon!" In a second, the spears rained down on the other guys like homing missiles.

[Jax Ridean]

"Protect!"

An opaque barrier materialized between Jax and the hundreds of spears that would have pelted him to death. Bounding towards the other end of the room, he swept up a slightly charred Ravaner off the floor.

He was going to mow them all down. Beginning with Hadrian.

And then all of a sudden...he felt...strange.

Anger slowed faded to bewilderment.

The enemy?

He stared at the rifle in his hands. It was cocked the safety was off, ready to be fired.

He blinked a couple times.

Wh..What the hell am I doing...?

[miyavi]

"Mechanical Armaggedon!"

"Protect!"

Sho's dark eyes widened. Hadrian was going to kill HER.

Sadistic bastard!

And Zephyr materialized, the bond between Sho and his Guardian Force strong enough to summon Zephyr within a moment's notice, the giant bird folding large wings around Sho and the mysterious woman, protecting them from the attack of Hadrian's Guardian Force.

Sho smirked, left hand coming up to caress the soft skin of his woman's arm, around his neck, languid and beautiful.

So beautiful.

So fragile.

He would protect her.

"I'll protect you."

"Sho Miyavi, I can blow your brains out before you even come a foot near me. Don't say such foolish things, now."

He blinked.

"...Celeste?" His voice was barely a whisper.

[ST]

The woman's eyes opened completely when she felt the shift inside Jax and Sho. Warily, her eyes sparked and an immense aura spread around the room to solidify her grip among the boys' psyche.

Not good.Odendria realized. If I continue to play around like this, all of them will break off of me. I should finish this quickly.

"I'm getting tired of you," the woman said to Stella. That was right. She was going to let them kill off their lady teammate first, then make them slay each other right after.

"Everyone stop what you're doing!" she blurted out, getting all the guys' attention. "An enemy has arrived." She pointed haughtily at Stella. "I want you to kill that woman in front of me! Now."

Guys

The mysterious woman's voice sounds so absolute in your ears and suddenly you feel a strong urge to kill Stella. But, looking at the familiar gun-wielding woman before you, can you really do it?

Stella

One word from the woman did turn your male teammates against you, and now, their attention is focused on only you. Are they really going to fight you? Will you fight them? Is there any way to snap them back to their senses? What are you going to do? One of them can attack anytime.

[Rayden]

Rayden shifted his gaze at Stella, his eyes darkening at the woman's order to kill her.

I'll do it before the others can. Rayden grips his devil's cutlery tighter, stilling his hands which had started to shake for some inexplicable reason.

"You. Die." He growls at Stella, rushing at her with his fork and knife poised, veering off at last second when a blurry image of her lips imprints itself on his mind. And didn't he just avoid her with the flare spell precisely because she gave off such a forbidding vibe? Rayden was sure if he did attack her in anyway, he had consequences to suffer.

"No wait. No you die. NO wait!" He looks at Stella, mortified, but finally drops his weapons when they slip from his hands with a clatter. "Shoot me." He pleads. "Or I'm really gonna have to kill you."

[Stella]

ooc: Sorry if this post doesnt make much sense, I'm still pretty jet lagged.

---

All she could do was stand there and watch the turmoil going on around her. This was the most absurd thing she had ever seen.

The next thing Stella knew Rayden was rushing at her brandishing his giant cutlery of doom. He stopped short and as he spoke she consdered the plea falling from his lips.

Slowly she raised Lyric the gold gun glittering in her hand, the barrel pointed at Rayden. Pulling the hammer back slowly the sound filled the room. Squeezing the tigger she moved the gun at the last instant sending the bullet whizzing past Rayden's ear, heading towards the woman that was controlling the rest of her team.

[ST]

Stella's bullet pierces through the woman's shoulder! With a cry of pain, her concentration gets broken, ruining the spell that she enchanted the males with.

Clenching her jaw, she screams at Stella, "Look what you've done!" The elegant living room starts to dissolve, and the team finds themselves inside a vast empty space. Selphie, Quistis, and Seifer have become visible as they hang inside a thorn cage from above the woman.

"You'll pay for this!" A reddish aura oozes from her, but she quickly pauses as she senses something. Suddenly, the woman begins to tremble--her eyes grow wide and tears start to form. "M-master...Weiss?" Like a clay, a crack lines on her pretty face and pieces of her face start to fall away. Touching her face, she screams and drops on all fours on the ground. The crack continues to spread all throughout her body, and she lays still, weeping unexplainably.

[Diego Stanton]

Deo felt his mad desire for Odendria waver away as soon as Stella had shot her. He stared at her in shock as her body began cracking- leaving only a 12 year old child on the floor. She was crying hysterically.

"Someone let us down from here!" Seifer yelled from up above, directing everyone's attention away from the young girl.
