Stephanie smirked to herself as she watched the beast crash into the building, she can beat this thing, she totally can... yeah... just think happy thoughts... like cookies...hhhmm.... cookies. But her happy thoughts were quickly vanquished by the sight of Chaos jumping from the rubble and landed on top of a building just above hers, the vicious beast transforming into Nova's, Ninjan friend.
"No... I am SHA."
The screech was like nails to a chalkboard as she knelt down in pain, covering her ears to try and protect them. But Stephanie stood up, still rambling to Chaos, trying to get under her skin.
“Well when I finally absorb you, I’ll just burn it all off How does it feel Nova, to know that once I’m through beating you inch by inch, you’ll be absorbed by the same person you helped create!”
Stephanie paused, helped create? What the hell was this demon talking about? She didn't help create anything like THAT. Maybe that taco monster that loomed inside Jasmine Coles room back in the day... but CHAOS, what kind of joke was she pulling here? "What the hell are you talking about?"
“She sold her life to me, to defeat you! To stop you from destroying Solace City…and I did that and collected my reward”
"W-what?" Stephanie whispered to herself, it couldn't be... she couldn't be responsible for... for all of this... could she? "Oh no..." she dropped to her knees, her eyes watered with tears. "I-I didn't... I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry Ziccarra..." she lowered her head in shame, at that point in time she was only concerned for herself... just herself that she didn't even THINK about how everything would effect her longtime friend. She wasn't even paying attention to the beast flying above her. But again, the screeching brought her back to reality.
Anger began building up inside her as she slowly stood up, her blood boiling, hatred towards the beast was higher than it had ever been. She came to a conclusion... she had to defeat this THING and somehow... someway... FREE Ziccarra, even if it killed her.
Looking upward at the gloomy sky she watched as Chaos created what seemed to be a ball of light around her. The annoying humming sound got louder and louder with every passing second. "This is really going to hurt..." Stephanie mumbled to herself as she braced herself for the attack. Then in a flash of light, Chaos came at Nova, so fast that Stephanie didn't even see it coming. Impact was made like with the force of a rocket, the heroes body flew off the building, her body slamming into another as she collided with wall after wall until she finally stopped. "This... isn't going to be as easy as I thought." she mumbled to herself as she wiped the blood off her chin. Getting back up she ran forward and jumped out the window, bursting into flames and landing back on the roof, skidding a bit before stopping as she STILL had a confidant grin on her face, hoping it would annoying the beast.
Looking at Chaos... she was now in another woman's form... it was the same woman from earlier... who was she? Another victim of Chaos? Great, now she had to save TWO people, like having the life of just Sha in her hands was bad enough.
“Just think of how beautiful…we’ll be together” Her voice was almost reassuring... and inviting... it pissed her off knowing that Chaos absorbed more than just one person. Getting ready to jump into the air to attack, she suddenly felt the ground pull down on her, like if the ground was a magnet, she felt like she weighed a ton! "What... the heck?" She spoke as just taking a step took double the energy. It was like that one episode of Dragon Ballz that she watched with Ziccarra, that one... gravity chamber that showed that one crazy haired character... Veggie? Veggieter? Something like that. But that was just the start, the ground began to glow, lines in a checkerboard like patter began to light the ground. She wasn't sure what was going on, but she figured it couldn't be good... not with Chaos around. Then, almost as if giving birth , a dark creature of some sort crawled out of the waist of the beast, creating a spawn of itself. It seemed to be able to move freely upon the roof top, pacing around,glaring back at Stephanie.
"Ok, I got this." she whispered to herself as she looked over at, who had a maleficent grin upon its face. It was like Nova was her lab rat stuck in a maze, and the cheese? Chaos itself.
Before the Fire Goddess could even take a step, beams of energy rushed at her. Ducking under the first blast she grunt as she pulled up her blade, in a swift motion she blocked another beam and shot a fireball at another, the two energies colliding with each other and forcing Nova to skid back a few feet. But as she was skidding, waves of energy blasts shot upward from the ground like a domino effect, rushing towards her! Her eyes widen as she began to slow down, and with a grunt she jammed her blade into the ground, stopping her from skidding as she then dove to the right, the beams of light still shooting out, as if following her in a display of colors. "You've got to be kidding!" she blurted out as she burst into flames, leaving her blade behind as she tried fueling her blaze as quickly as she she could, only to slowly begin rising into the air, the gravity control taking heavy effect on her. She didn't rise high enough in time, the beam shot into the air, smashing into the heroes body and sending her a bit higher into the sky, but quickly came back falling to the ground. Struggling to keep herself from touching the deadly roof top she burst into her golden flames again, this time putting as much energy as she could as fast as she could, keeping her hoovering over the ground and pushing herself forward until she reached the spawn like creature.
Hoping her plan would work she slammed right into the beast, pinning her down on the ground. As soon as impact was made a low 'hum' could be heard as Stephanie then flipped off the beast, causing it to take the full blast of the light beam, a screeching cry of pain could be heard as Stephanie began running as quickly as she could around the area, with beams of light racing right behind her. "Ok... cant... run... forever.... THINK!" she blurted out as the creature suddenly jumped down on the ground in front of her, smoke from the blast still rising from its skin. Unable to keep her balance while stopping she flopped to the ground, at the feet of the monster and the ground lit up in that instant. Feral Nova took on the full blast of the beam, it so strong that it shot her higher into the air, and off the roof, into the shark infested waters below. She could see the creatures rush at her, ready to claim their dinner, but The Fire Goddess wouldn't let that happen, she had to push through.
The water lit up to a golden color as it suddenly shot upward towards the sky, Stephanie emerging from the ocean, struggling to push herself beyond her limits of being able to keep creating more and more fire. Upon landing on the ground, she landed right in front of Chaos, in a crouching position, coughing up water and gasping for air, her body shivered, cold from the freezing water.
"Hello." she spoke in a taunting voice as she pushed herself upward, her right fist balled up as she attempted an uppercut, her hand bursting into their golden flames as she did so. As soon as she landed back on the ground she reached out her hand towards her blade (which was still jammed into the roof), manipulating the heat still inside as it made its way back to her. Taking a sharp breath, her sword began to give off a dim glow as she heated the blade, putting as much heated energy into it without melting it. When she felt it was enough, she then rose the blade upward at the beast she released the energy inside it, causing a blinding flash of light. Hoping the light would distract Chaos for a moment she then pulled the blade back as she chucked it right at Chaos as hard as she could so it could pass through the gravity, manipulating the heat inside of it to make her accuracy just that more precise. Now standing more crouched due to the heavy gravity slowly beginning to overpower her, she felt a pair of arms wrap around her, the spawn of Chaos suddenly sunk its teeth into Nova's shoulder as she cried out in pain, a chunk of flesh being ripped from her body as Stephanie threw her head back, headbutting the beast as it let go of her. Spinning to face the monster she extended her left hand she pointed at the blood thirsty creature, with a flick of her wrist the monster roared in pain as it's mouth began to glow bright, the crimson fluid inside its mouth lighting on fire inside it as it burst into Nova's golden flames, screeching in pain it threw itself off the building and into the waters below.
With a chuckle she dropped to one knee, blood covering the floor and her left side of her body as she struggled to cauterize her own flesh, her body shaking, going into shock. "C-come on Stephanie... don't do this to yourself now." she whispered as her shoulder throbbed in pain. "I'm soooo blaming Tori for this when I get out of here." Her eyes then looked at her blood upon the ground, she knew what she had to do... she just wish she didn't have to rely on this power right now. Still kneeling she closed her eyes, she only had a couple of seconds before Chaos attacked again. Gritting her teeth her body began to give off an eerie red glow, and upon opening her eyes, they turned into a deadly crimson red color, her pupils in the shape of diamonds. Upon her fight with Charmix in the KOV, the young witch suppressed the power of her demonic blood to the point of her having full control over herself while the demon blood was in use. Breathing inward she could feel the raw energy and power course through her body, it felt... amazing she had to admit, and now she was ready to keep going.
With a sly grin on her face she suddenly disappeared, then appeared right behind Chaos, her claw like hands extending outward as she shot down a blast of hellfire at the monster. Upon coming back to the ground she landed on the grid directly under Chaos Black, before the energy blast could touch her, she teleported again, this time at the safe zone as she watched the blast shoot upward, directly at Chaos Black.
"Come on slow poke!" She gave Chaos a toothy grin, her voice slightly distorted thanks to the awaken blood.
