Llina scoffed at her predicament. "Ugh. Why am I here out of all people or souls I should say?"

She wore dark clothing. A black interior shirt supported by a grey, leather jacket. Skin tight shorts that covered the top of her thighs and long, dark boots. All which did really suit well with her silver hair with a hint of pink  and silver eyes.

Llina was then suddenly launched backwards and crashed out the collapsible building. Ironically, it collapsed soon after because of the impact.

A mist of dust and debris flooded the scenery's view, rendering all temporarily blind. It soon subsided like a cloud of smoke in the rough breeze. Rebecca was shown to unharmed in the whole ordeal.

"Now you done it," said Llina with a fake smile, who was infront of Rebecca's point of view.

Her right hand had morphed into an iron blade and metallic wings came from out of her back. She slashed at Rebecca's head, diagonally. But her attack was parried by an invisible force, yet, there was the sound of shattering glass.

"What's this?" Llina asked as she slashed at Rebecca again, only for her attack to be block by another invisible forcefield.

She slashed at Rebecca again, this time both of her hands were turned into blades. Her double attack was also blocked but by this invisible force, but there was the sound of shattering glass once again.

"An invisible forcefield..." Llina said, ".. is such a cheap trick."

Llina slashed at Rebecca once again, this time intentionally at her barrier. As soon as she heard it crack, she launched another attack immediately after that landed an cut Rebecca's shoulder. The cut though wasn't that harmful as no blood came from it.

Llina was then immediately knocked back by Rebecca's barrier, sending her through the roof.

"God damn little rat!" Llina yelled from the sky.

She had halted her movement with her wings. Llina's right hand morphed into a small cylinder. She held the bottom of it with her left hand as small, metal beams  shot out of it like projectiles.

Rebecca ran, but not before placing a barrier around herself to protect her from any harm. The siege of raining metal planted themselves into the ground and later spurt into larger metallic beams. They suddenly encased the area and formed a box around Rebecca. A large metallic box without a roof though.

"Whatever," Rebecca said to herself.

Rebecca launched an attack of her own after the assault on her halted. She directed one of her barriers towards Llina, this time concentrating enough force to triple the density and output of her barrier.

"Take this!" she cried.

Llina, who was alerted of the attack, prepared herself by turning her arms back to normal then coating them in thick iron. She tried to block the attack, but she was slowly being pushed back. Sparks emitted from the clash as Llina was being out classed.

Llina soon gave up on blocking the attack. "This is hopeless."

She successfully slid off the barrier to save herself from the useless battle. She began to fly towards Rebecca at high speeds.

Rebecca stood tall and firm however, her eyes fixed on Llina, the metal-bender. "You're a monster. Using your powers to terrorize the city."

Llina landed. Dust and debris surrounding her. She had changed her hands, which had been morphed into razor-sharp claws made of metal. "Really, little girl? Is it because my powers are superior then your weakly and limited abilities? It's not like I'm trying to play the villain."

Rebecca smiled, her hands weaving intricate patterns in the air. "We'll see about that."

Llina began her attack. She swinged her claws wildly at Rebecca, aiming at her vitals and blind spots. "That's a lame response!"

Within a swift motion, Rebecca conjured an invisible barrier, deflecting Llina's metal claws attacks and pushed her back. "Your metal won't work on me, witch. It should be quite obvious right now."

Llina, who was staggering, regained her footing.

"Did you call me a witch or a bitch?" Llina inquired with a serious manner. It was written on her face and placed in her voice.

Her body started contorting as she merged with the metal around her. The metal beams liquified and flowed towards her. Even the rusty stell merged with Llina body. Her limbs elongated, becoming razor-sharp tendrils. Her hair and skin changed to pure, solid sliver.

"Let's see who is the bitch here, bitch."

Rebecca raised her hands, and another barrier materialized. This time, it fell on top of Llina's head, burying her into the ground. "You control metal, while I control the space around me and others. My abilities are far more impressive, that's why you lost."

The ground began to shake. Suddenly, Llina jumped out from beneath the ground.

"Who said I lost?" Llina inquired.

Llina extended her silver hair and attacked Rebecca, slashing them randomly. "Or do you just like to talk?"

Rebecca made another barrier, protecting her from the flailing sliver. "It's quite easy to block your attacks."

Llina's eyes narrowed, as she halted the attack. She morphed her metal arms into a massive sword. "Then let's see how you handle this!"

Llina slammed the sword into Rebecca barrier, knowingly. "And why don't you respond to me, properly?"

Rebecca's barrier shimmered, absorbing the impact of Llina's sword. The sword destroyed one barrier after the last, but another was made, soon halting its advancement. "You're strong, but I'm faster."

With a swift kick, Llina sent Rebecca flying across the room.

Llina smiled as she said, "Yeah, right. Guess you're deaf as well"

As Rebecca struggled to rise, Llina created metal knife in the air around her, enclosing her.

"It's over. Or do think someone is going to save you?"

Rebecca's face twisted in rage. Llina was suddenly knocked back by another of Rebecca's barrier.

"Ack!" she groaned. But before she could get launched back further, she commanded the knifes to attack.

Rebecca, seeing this, made another barrier around herself.

Llina got up from the ground. Finally, her metal tendrils stilled, and she glared up at Rebecca.

Rebecca had been stabbed by the may knife s before she could create the barrier around her. She was bleeding heavily and panting unsteadily. Rebecca laid on the ground defeated, surrounded in a pool of her own.

She said to herself in weak voice while staring at the roof, "Who knew being stabbed would be so painful.

Rebecca then shifted her gaze slowly to Llina. "This isn't the end."

Llina smiled. "I wouldn't counting on it."

A green glow began to develop Rebecca, which meant that she was being healed.

The next second, Rebecca was decapitated by Llina's razor hair. Her neck began to squirt excessive amount of red, warm blood.

"Nice," Llina said with a smile. "She looks why more pretty with out a head. It's wasn't like she was responding to me."

Before Llina could leave, Rebecca suddenly raised to feet, this time with her head. The other one had disappeared.

"Huh?" Llina inquired in confusion.

Suddenly, a square shape mark was made around Llina. "Thank God that I'm given two lives a day, thanks to my skill."

She suddenly disappeared, but after been squashed between two invisible barriers rushing towards each other at high speeds. Llina was rendered into a mist of silver smoke.

"I expected more gore. Guess I was lucky that it didn't have organs or something," said Rebecca. "Wait.."

"That's right," said a voice that was surprisingly gleeful.

Rebecca was frighten by this random voice. "Aaahhhh!" But not before placing a barrier around her.

It was Llina. Her body was partly mist while the rest was physically.

She had a wide smile on her face as she said, "Yeah, I forgot to tell. I can't die, well unless I die. Like expire."

"I should wrap this up quickly as I'm getting both tired and bored," said Llina, still, with a smile

Metal began to appear from underground, but it entered Rebecca's barrier. Rebecca was then encased by a block of metal. Afterwards, there were the sounds of something liquid being smashed.

"Done," said Llina. "Well hopefully she didn't place a forcefield around herself before I could fill the volume in there and crush."

Llina then looked at her the ground awkwardly. "Guess now I am talking a lot."

Suddenly, Llina disappeared in a mist of sliver smoke, returning to the pocket dimension similar to the Astral Planes.
