'Who are you really, girly.' Imogen took a step back from Freya and turned her attention towards Ally, 'do you realize what you are saying?'
'I...I-am-not-giving-my-love-to-any-of-you!' Standing her ground right outside their suite, Ally isn't going to back down now. With an intrigued glance, Imogen tilted her head back towards Freya as her hair bubbled up and down.
'Guess we will have to take this outside.....' Imogen said unwillingly.
'Agreed.' Freya said, 'can't scrap here.'
'You-want-to-scrap? I-will-scrap-with-yooouuu!'
Spinning out a paintbrush from one of her inner pockets, Imogen created squishy cloudy objects on the ground before Freya and Imogen hopped on. Ally dashed across the hallway and joined on it before Imogen opened up a window out of the wall of the resort and floated the three of them away from the buildings after both Ally and Freya dropped their individual shopping bags in front of the suite's door.
The resort is located in the mountains, and there are plenty of 'outside' for the trio to have a go at. As the lights of the building began to congregate into a single bright spot in the mountains, Imogen had finally sat Freya and Ally down on the ground.
'This is stupid.' Imogen shook her head with an embarrassed chuckle, 'why the hell are we even fighting over a man for...'
'Yeah.....I guess you are right.' Freya said, scratching the back of her head, 'this is petty, even for the FINGERS.'
Then, Imogen suddenly constructed a red dragon out of thin air before she grabbed onto a seat to the side of the dragon's body and have it rise up in the air and rocket away! Freya immediately moved as her body glowed brightly before strands of light is created and pulled tightly against the bodies of the red dragon and herself.
'No you don't!' Freya said, turning around and shooting out more strands of light behind her as tiny hands within each individual hand clawed into the ground and going ever deeper like tree roots.
'YOU BITCH!' Imogen turned around and screamed, as she conjured up a ball of fire and shot it towards Freya. The ball of fire continued to expand and envelop the entire area. Ally immediately dashed out of the way with her superior speed while Freya also displaced her body from the line of fire.
The fireball exploded upon impact with the ground with a small mushroom cloud followed immediately by a blast of air. Ally wiped a layer of dust off her face as she saw Imogen and Freya now clashing in the air. The red dragon that Imogen created has been dispelled, as a giant fist is formed over her head before Imogen slammed it straight down.
Strands of light extended out slowly from Freya before they were reformed into a disc.
The disc and the fist collided with a shock wave extending from the center of impact, and the cracks formed simultaneously on the fist and on the disc. The patterns of cracks on the fist resembled the thicker tearing of paper while the disc broke more like glass. The aftershock of the crash sent both Imogen and Freya backward momentarily as Ally stood by to watch their display of power.
Ally wasn't able to see the full fights of the two National Treasures a few days back, but from what she was able to see, it is undeniable that the two of them are incredibly strong. However, there are clear levels to this superhuman ordeal, as both Imogen and Freya can easily whip out attacks that is equivalent to Escalation 2 of the National Treasures in an instant without breaking a sweat.
From the look of things, they are not even fractions of their way through their own Escalation 1's, which is their base level of strength without the power-ups.
'I always wanted to know whether your power of creation or mine of information manipulation is stronger!' Freya said, reaching her hands to the side as more and more tiny strands of light extended outward from her body, gathering information from the air molecules around her and controlling them at ease.
'Art is creation!' Imogen said, swiping her paintbrush around in a circle before spikes of ice appeared from mid-air and crushed Freya from within. However, the tips of the ice were broken away moments before they ever made contact with Freya's body.
'And science is understanding!' Freya shot back, creating a surge of air underneath her before she was launched towards Imogen. The latter quickly drew up layers of sacred shield one after another, however, all of her constructs were tore through easily by Freya, who's forward momentum wasn't halted at all by Imogen's defense.
'Tsk!' Creating rocket with her paintbrush, Imogen grabbed onto it and moved out of the way before Freya rammed through her after image.
'You lucky bitch!' Freya turned around in mid-air and continued her charge towards Imogen when she turned the tip of her paintbrush and drew a number 2 on her own body.
The paint glowed brightly before a surge of energy exploded outwards from Imogen. The sense of danger caused Freya to stop and move out of the way before thousands of black arms grew out from Imogen's body and chased after Freya like an endless wave of death.
'Escalation 2!' Freya shouted shortly, as the strands of light from her exploded into millions of much smaller strands before strange new patterns of light now appeared all over her body. Then, she slammed both of her fists in front of her body, as a bubble of solidified air is formed all around her.
The black hands continued to ram into the bubble to no avail, and soon Imogen dispelled that attack.
'Freya's-Escalation 1...some-sort-of-localized-telekinesis.....no...all-of-the-action-occured-after-the-strands-of-light-has-made-contact-with-the-physical-objects...' Ally thought to herself, 'It-is-as-she-said.....information-gathering-and-matter-manipulation?'
Wait, how do I know all this?
There is this strange cold calmness inside of Ally. She felt calm, collected, analytical, and ready to fight. A dark eerie flame hidden inside of her is now burning with ever-increasing intensity, and Ally felt like she couldn't hold it back anymore. Beyond those flames are terrifying powers that even Ally couldn't understand.
She had never unleashed the darker sides of her flames ever since she has met Jon and Pethant...why now...why now?!
I-AM-A-WEAPON-DESIGNED-TO-DESTROY-THE-TEN-FINGERS!
A surge of red flames swallowed the last of Ally's mind, and her eyes now glowed blood red.
Locking her attention onto Imogen and Freya, she carefully analyzed their powers and move sets.
'Imogen's-Escalation-1, simple-power-of-creating-things-from-her-imagination...'
The basis of their powers are powerful enough already, and Ally can only guess what their maximum strength at Escalation 3 is. She is scared to see it. She is excited to see it.
NO, I-AM-EXCITED-TO-SEE-IT! I-AM-A-WEAPON-DESIGNED-TO-DESTROY-THE-TEN-FINGERS!
'Escalation-2-always-builds-off-Escalation-1. Freya's-Escalation-2...I-see.'
Feeling power surging within her silver body, Ally felt her heartbeat inside faster and faster, and then tighter and tighter as her internal organisms began to lock down in preparation for the battle.
'No...my-love...' Swallowed by the programmed rage, fear, and hate, Ally was lost in the whirlwind of dark flames, the warm orange fire nowhere to be found amid the storm inside.
Then, Ally's body moved, as the aura of danger lagged behind her movements.
Both Imogen and Freya turned their attention towards Ally just in time to see her appearing in front of them with her glowing red eyes before a punch was delivered to Imogen's face at the same time as a kick to Freya's stomach! The Left Index finger was sent flying into the side of the mountain as she scrambled to construct a pillow to slow her crash. Freya was much more durable physically, and she was shot through the ground like a rocket, a crater forming quickly after the energy released from her impact vaporized the very first layer.
Then, the sound of Ally's movements finally came through. She was already moving way faster than the speed of sound at her base form, and she appeared to have much more power in reserve.
Two of the ten strongest superhumans in the world look up in the air, and Ally the android floated in the air like a warrior from the heavens. No...from the deathly aura giving off her body, she's more like an executioner. A spirit of vengeance, and a vessel of destruction.
'Don't get caught out again, Immy.' Freya said, jumping back onto her feet and padding off dust from her body as Imogen also pressed herself back onto her feet.
'Speak for yourself.' Imogen said, though her eyes are now locked onto Ally before she whirled her pens around in a circle when a cartoon thunder cloud formed overhead and lightnings struck down from above! However, before the very tip of the first electron made contact with Ally at near-instantaneous speed, she moved.
The air surrounding Ally's body collapsed inwards to fill the void created by her movements, and she dashed in front of Imogen as she prepared to deliver a devastating side kick along her body when Freya suddenly appeared her and parried the attack with a crossguard.
'Are you drunk?' Freya teased, but before Imogen had a chance to respond, Ally had already reached out and grabbed onto her body before tossing her backward like a bag of beans.
As Freya stuck the landing on the other side and now looked on at the silver-bodied android with a serious look on her face, Ally looked down at her arm to see various cracks, cuts and damages around it. The damage that she has sustained was from making contact with Freya physically! However, before she time to process her first injury, Imogen had already moved out of the way and construct two three-meter tall palms before the giant hands are clapped together, smashing Ally as if she is an annoying fly.
A bulge is formed around the knuckles of the palms that Imogen created, and Ally tore through it easily before walking out to face the two Fingers now standing side to side with one another.
'Freya's-Escalation-2-seems-to-give-her-full-control-of-the-space-around-her, which-is-why-my-hand-is-damaged-as-I-made-contact-with-her. Imogen's-Escalation-2-seems-to-just-give-her-more-complexity, power-and-speed in her creations. However, the increase in power is suspicious...'
'She's trouble.' Freya said, turning to look at Imogen from within her bubble of solid air, 'she may be telling the truth about her purpose.'
'You think so?' Imogen asked, 'she doesn't seem that strong yet.'
'Unless she operates out of the Escalation power scale like you...' Freya suggested, and Imogen simply shrugged in response.
'In that case, let's crush her quickly.' Imogen said, creating a gigantic suit of robotic armor around her before it's size gradually increased as more and more layers are stuck onto it, 'you know...sometimes I am jealous of you three stagers (those superhuman that can obtain power-ups three times through the Escalation scale). Your fights are so much more interesting to watch.'
'Don't go all sorry on me.' Freya said, 'this isn't like you, Imogen.'
'No shit....we are fighting outside a hotel against an android just so we can sleep with a man we fancy for the night.'
'We are all fucking drunk, mate.'
