Avatos bristled, her fangs grew from her gums, savila dripping from them and down her lips.  "I said, answer me."  Alcatrass simply stared at her, an un-impressed expression came upon his features.  "And what if I don't?"  

Avatos held her hand aloft, a familiar blue ora glowing withen her palm.  Alcatrass grinned.  "That again?"  He tilted his head slightly.  She then turned her pale outward, sending a strange swirling blue and black disk rapidly in his direction.  He raised his personal shield - ready to take the impact like it was nothing -  but felt his feet sliding out from under him.  What??? His eyes widened slightly and his body flickered, then grew transparent, then vanished.  "Damn, that was close."  He commented quietly, reappearing behind her.  Off to her right, standing between one of  the additional shorter support poles up high on a support beam.  The disk of energy was pulling him towards it.  Like a vortex.  It surprised him how much power that little attack gave off.  It was much more powerful than her pervious attacks.  She's hiding QUITE a few things...  He grinned.  So she wasn't as weak as he first thought.  Good, he wanted this fight carry one for at least a little while.  Till he got bored of her.  As the vortex impacted another support beam, the castle trembled.  "Come out now.  I know that wasn't enough to kill you!"  She snarled looking around with burning eyes.  A black mass caught the corner of her eye and without hesitation she fired a burst of superheated-air from her jaws, but the mass disappeared just as the hot air hit the pole it rested on.

  "Dammit!"  She huffed, angered that it didn't hit it's mark.  "I can see you bastard.  There's no point in hiding."  She murmured.  

"Oh really?" His voice said with a sly tone.  Her spine turned to ice and the back of her head grew numb. She spun around with her heart beating wildly.  But nobody was behind her.  It sounded like he was RIGHT there.  She got to her feet, nearly tripping on the way up.  "Where are you!?"  She screamed, her heart was racing from the fear she suddenly felt.  In the dark, even with exellent vision, she could see him.  She was helpless.  "Try to guess..."  A high pitch giggle followed.  It was maniacal and full of malice.  A wooshing noise came from her left and she automatically ducked.  A silver ring of metal missed her head by hair's breadth.  She watched it bounce off a beam and rattle to the floor.  It was from one of the barrels stored in the cellar.  Stebucal kept food and fluids stored in the cellar.  Stebucal...  It occured to Avatos and she turned in her fallen master's direction.  

He hadn't budged, he must've been dead by now.  "Letting your guard down?"  Are you feeling bad for not coming to your Master's rescue?" The voice teased in a childish manner.  "SHUT UP!"  She scowled.  "You murderous fuck.  I will have your head."  She looked about, her ears rotating.  "Ahaha... Boo."  Avatos eyes grew wide and her flesh grew pale.  Several marks ran down her arms, they appeared out of nowhere.  Her screams echoed into the dark.  She fell to floor, her arms bleeding profusely.  A gurling came behind her.  "Does it hurt?"  He asked from the darkness.  Avatos stood.  "No it doesn't.  I've had worse."  Dispite her tone he could smell her pain.  

"Reeaallly?"  Another chuckle.  Shit, he was slowly but surely making her furious.  Taking a random shot, heat rose in Avatos' throat and she opened her mouth revealing a dark entity in the back of her open maw.  She released it into the darkness.  Closing her mouth she waited for a reaction of some sort.  But nothing happened.  No impact, no scream of agony, nothing.  To her fright, the same beam shot out from her left and slammed into her side.  Her suit burned away, along with skin and flesh.  Blood squirted from clenched teeth, splattering the floor, she soon joined it.  Alcatrass stood next to a beam and bathed her cries of pain.  She wasn't just screaming, but crying.

Her own Deteriation Beam fired back at her?!?!  She wanted to grab her side as a reflex of pain but she knew she would only make it worse, end up hitting her own damn organs.  He walked out into the light, his face so casual he could have been whistling a cheery for hell's sake.  Avatos heard his approach and tried to stand.  "Stay down.  You'll only die sooner, and we don't want that... Yet."  He grinned and cupped his hand under her neck, grabbing her fragile flesh.  She squealed helplessly and felt the cool air rush under as she became airbourne.  "You are pathetic."  He stated smugly.  He held her high in air, pleased to see the agony she was in.  "Wow that really did a number."  He observed the wound in her side, her skin from her midsection to just below her left breast was exsposed.  The wound was slowing, but still eating at her skin.  Avatos could feel her airway collapsing because of the pressure he was applying to her throat.  To further cause her dismay she gave an ungodly screech when she felt his fingers plunge into her wound.  He giggled as she squirmed his grasp.  Her frame jerked with sobs.  He felt something warm dribble down his hand and looked up to blood leaking from her mouth mixed with tears.  Something about her teary, begging, eyes made him want to stop what he was doing to the poor girl...  But he easily dismissed it and removed his fingers from her side, soaked with blood and bits of muscle.  She howled again as he did so.  He lowered her down to eye level, forcing her watch as he cleaned his claws with his tongue of her matter.  She grimaced in total disgust.  

He closed his eyes and swallowed.  He then felt his hand around her neck begin to lose it's grip.  "Hmm?" He opened his eyes and saw that the muscle mass in her neck was growing.  It rippled as it grew, crawling under his hand.  He looked down to see it wasn't only her neck, every part of the women was beginning to grow larger.  "What?"  "Heygh...."  Her voice croaked.  He glaced up.  CRACK!  Her fist collided with his face, he could feel his cheek bone snap.  "Shit!"  He snarled, more out of shock than pain.  She landed on the floor with unsteady feet. Her hair flashed, turning white.  He rubbed his face, feeling himself heal when he looked up at her.  Her head impacted his midsection.  "garhp!"  FWA-BOOM!!!!!!!  They smashed into the wall behind them.  "Bastard..."  She hissed, her voice had a metallic ring, this was new.  He snapped at her, but she reached into his mouth, and grabbed his bottom jaw.  He gurgled, feeling his jaw give way.  His teeth found their way to her hand.  She hissed and released his jaw, tearing her hand from his mouth.  His eyes glowed a demonic purple and a gust of pure dark energy exploded from withen him.  

Blowing her back.  She braced herself and slide across the stone floor.  Stirring dust and bits of debris from the ceiling.  "C'mer!"  He roared, pushing off the wall after her.  She looked up and a gust of wind sent flying her towards the opening.  She'd forgotten all about Stebucal.  It was no longer about him.  Without stopping, Alca followed, his impact on the floor left more of a mark than hers.  "Hey bitch!  Running away?"  He shouted at her, but she ignored his remarks, which irritated him.  Her body flipped and spun, and she bolted out of site.  "Goddamit."  He hissed, speeding up, he shot out of the hole in the floor.  Marble surrendering to the pressure of his power and flying away from the opening in chunks.  A scream caught his attention and she rammed into him, her claws burrying themselves into his shoulders.  He grabbed her arms in the same manner and kicked her stomach.  Blood squirted from her wound but she continued her attack and they both hit the wall.  "Fucking little shit!"  He seethed, punching her face, she spun down and hit the floor, leaving drag marks.
