With cracks forming, dark blood oozing, Aria looked up with blacken tears and yelled in light use darkness and in darkness use light!
The hell is that supposed to mean yelled Oni as she ran up to slam her mace against the creature. However, seeing the obvious attack coming the creature violently tore out its sword form within Aria causing more cracks to appear. It then tossed her to the side like a piece of trash paper. It then used its sword to parry Oni maces out of the way and used its free hand to grab Oni by the neck and slammed her onto the floor and right when it was about to trust it sword through her chest. Glaive came in the right time to interrupt it assault on Oni. The creature of course blocked Glaivey attempt, however it required the creature to use both hands to block so in order to not let Oni escape or retaliate the creature slammed his foot on Oni mid-section to keep her pined to the floor! Thus, a dead lock was formed, but what may have been seen like a dead lock to outsider was anything but for sure the creature started to staticky disappear right in front of them! Glaive could feel her enemy sword lighten, Oni could feel the foot on her chest began to fade so with bated breaths both girls' frustration reached a dangerously high point that may have cause them to lose control for the sheer thought of the one who injured their sister getting away from right before their eyes was too much for them. But right as the creature was about to fade completely, Aria yelled in her crumbling body, close your eyes!
This action of coursed cause more darken blood to pour out of Aria mouth but that was of little consequence since their bodies are made to be puppets, thus they feel little to no pain caused by injuries', the pain they feel only comes from their fleshy parts and even then, its negligible. If anything, the only reason why Aria was so late to respond was because this was her first-time experiencing pain of any short since the day for her creation.
Hearing what Aria was so desperately trying to convey the two sisters hearken onto what she said and closed their eyes, which in turn was a first for them for they are puppets, therefore they never actually had eyes lids or had the need to blink whatsoever. So, what happened when they closed their eyes? While to their surprise when they closed their eyes it was like they never closed their eyes in the first place! They could see the dark half of the creature or phantom they were fighting with along with white spots that indicated where its light half of the body should be. And that this phantom sword creature that they were pinning down just a few moments ago was simply walking slowly to where Aria was! Scared, the girls opened their eyes to see that Aria placed herself into an Iron Maiden to protect herself! However, the creature hadn't made it to Aria just yet. Then it them! The creature never actually had the ability to teleport nor was it moving so fast for the eye to see!
If they had been any other living creature, they could have easily figured this creature gimmick, however it felt like this "phantom" was designed to fight them, or in other words designed to fight puppets.
Meanwhile as the two sisters were reengaging the phantom sword; Tankey who was busy trapped in the dark half of the room was busy trying to figure out what to do, for her sister idea of closing their eyes didn't seem to work on this side of the room or at least appeared to be so on a surface level.
Umm I guess it makes since that closing your eyes on this side of the room wouldn't work but neither is keeping my "eyes" open seem to create any noticeable difference. Thought Tankey to herself. Maybe I need to actual light something, but I don't have the ability to do that... wait a minute doesn't my blood armor glow in a bright reddish hue when I use it? At least that what my master told me it would do, I mean the shield it self has a very faint red glowing effect every since it was remade. But Will that be enough? After all it will only last for one minute...Well, it's not like I have any other option so I might as well try it! With that Tankey places her big bloody heart shield in front of her and activated her skill, immediately the shield inner heart exploded! The explosion of raging blood caused the outer heart to open like a jaw of razor teeth and with an oozing bloody mess a teal color eye took form on the upper left part of the heart shield. And much like a door, a bloody beast that look strikingly similar to the blood beast crawled out of it! As it stretched it four bloody little limbs and roared a cute roar at the top of its lungs: finally, some fresh air! But after taking a few seconds, life's realization came back to the blood beast as it quickly turned around to face its master.
You! It screamed. I remember you! I will kill you!! But as it reached to claw at it master the bloody beast realized that it was much slower than before and not only that but her worst enemy that didn't look so big before seemed to have gotten bigger...like way bigger...she thought. But not matter! I don't care how big u gotten now that I am back, I won't lose this time!
Spunky little thing aren't you, said Tankey. As she reaches down to pick up the bloody beast by the scruff. Look, I understand why you can't stand being around me but if you just calm down for a second you would realize that we are connected to each other now!
Dammit! As much as I hate to admit it, Hess right! I can feel the connection between us... thought the little blood beast.
While the blood beast was going through a mental crisis, Tankey was in deep thought herself asking questions like; how does the blood beast remember we fought? Wasn't its soul reforged? Sigh, I don't know what's going on! I will have to inform the master about this later for now I have another problem, it seems like I did need to light something on this side!
As Tankey stood observing her surrounding while ignoring the little bloody beast tantrum, the darkness that surrounded her just seconds ago seem to have divided into two shadowy walls with a white lighted pathed path leading somewhere. As she looked deeper into those shadowy walls, she could see hands and faces or all kinds of weird creatures like orcs etc. Trying to pull her back into the shadowy embrace, but this only further confused her for when she was already in compassed by the shadow, she never saw these things before. Confused by not the least discouraged she bravely tracked on to see what she would find at the other end of this lighted path.
