Chapter 5 - Dungeon Trouble Pt4

"No!"

"NOO!"

"NO"

"NOO"

"NO"

"NOOOO!!!"

"This can't you… you're only a figment of my tired mind!" His voice shook with each word till he broke. His screams rang throughout the room as if they were trying to reach the heavens above. He grabbed his head and slowly sank to his knees, his whole body shaking as his eyes widened with horror and fear as the being from his nightmares. This woman…. No, this monster, she will take everything from me!

Before he could continue, he was pinned to the ground, his arms and legs being spread far apart. As his eyes met the woman's, she gained a predator glint in her eyes. Licking her lips seductively she leaned in close enough for only him to hear.

"Ohh my sweet Akira~, When I'm done with you~". She spoke as her voice was filled with desire.

"You'll be begging me for more ~". She purred into his ear.

Releasing the meaning of her words Akira's screams renewed, and his struggles tripled with fierce ferocity. He flailed all about to no success as he was only tiring himself out. Looking at her prey squirming and wiggling about in desperation lit a fire in her mind, she would play with him… break him over and over till she was satisfied.

And once he broke for the final time she would feed him to their offspring. Smiling widely she looked at him and slowly leaned forward, wanting to savor every bit of it. His fear, his sadness, his worry, and most of all his despair, yes out of all of them the despair on his face was the sweetest.

With her face flushed with lust and her eyes that seemed to gleam with sadistic desire, now nothing but inches apart. She could taste it, the arousal in the air and it was all thanks to her, she smiled once more before whispering.

Your mi-

With a flash, Ashley took out a bat of flames. Deep gold and orange it seared with pure anger and resentment. She then ran forward to the monster and took a ferocious swing which knocked it off its perch. 

Standing in front of Akira, she took a look at him and her anger soared to new heights. The fear and helplessness on his face made her heartache. She hated this woman… no this monster, and she wanted it dead.

"I don't know who you are or why you know Akira, all I do know is that people like you can rot in the deepest depths of hell!" Ashley cried with a livid crescendo, her blonde hair changed and became a burning orange and red as if it was on fire, her anger and hatred echoing throughout the room until it was broken by the beast's foul words.

As the monster stood up it let out a distorted giggle and spoke condescendingly "Awww look Akira, the stupid elf is jealous of us. I think she wants to play, should I keep with my promise and have you watch me tear her limb from limb slowly hmmmm?... Oh, why do I even ask you, of course I should!" It said, its voice sickly sweet and filled with madness

"You have no idea who I am and what I am capable of. I will bring you to your knees and when I am done, you will be begging for mercy. I'd rather take a piece of tar from under the table of a diner and chew it than be in your presence. You are a worthless amalgamation of self-pity and horrid dark thoughts but with my light, I will cast your shadows out of existence." Ashley has never been seen like this. Sure she gets mad, but the soul in her eyes was replaced with a warm darkness, her eyes even seemed to become a shade darker. Spit flew from her mouth as she talked in a tone that seemed to carry a ridiculous sense of confidence. 

The monster ceased its playful smile and seemed deeply irritated by the young elf's lack of fear. 

"Compared to me you're a pathetic, mucus-covered worm. Weak, ugly, and so satisfying to cut into tiny little pieces." Looking down at Ashley, she had slowly crept over when giving her speech.

"Enough talk bitch." Ashley's bat disappeared, her fists now glowing and covered with brilliant flames of gold and silver in the form of gloves. Her face contorted into a scowl as she had taken a southpaw stance. Unorthodox, but she has always been so. Her right fist quickly snapped at the beast's abdomen with a basic jab. Both unexpected and surprisingly causing a fair amount of discomfort and slightly singeing its abdomen. The beast grabbed its stomach for only a split second. Bringing its face just low enough so that Ashley could generate power in her legs and pivot this power all through her body and into an overhand left. 

This disoriented the beast but shocked her into taking Ashley a bit more seriously. At least in its mind, but verbally this monster relied on strategic manipulation and the breakdown of its prey's confidence. Little does it know it only feeds Ashley's rage.

"Wow, your punches are even weaker than I thought… disappointing." Emotionless as to try and make it seem Ashley had no effect.

"I said enough talk bi-"

The monster took its first swing. No real form just swung, and with its size, it didn't need form. Making contact with Ashley's face, flinging her to the side as she felt its raw power. Landing with a role, Ashley got back up with a smile on her face and a slightly crazed look in her eyes. She started to laugh.

"Ha… hahaHAHA, aw you have no idea." Ashley said as she couldn't stop smiling, laughing, and talking to this beast in a soft, oddly kind, and pitiful way. She got back into stance.

"You're not the only monster in this room right now, the only difference is I use my pain, anger, and complete hatred for things like you. However, you're likely going to be the only thing to ever experience this." Assertive in an acceptingly brash way, Ashley is in a dangerous situation. She has shut down her ability to feel pain and the amount of determination she has will make her incapable of stopping herself. On a path of self-destruction as she has no means to effectively kill this beast by herself, but she can't stand this level of evil. Especially when it attempts to take out its sickly desires on Akira. 

The monster flipped a switch that Ashley knew was there but never cared to use, it was too much even when battling the strongest of enemies. Only a certain category of beings were eligible for this treatment. The perverted, stomach-wrenching, manipulative, unimaginable kind, that somehow took pleasure from the darkest of acts. Ashley knew this side of her took the pleasure out of the fight for the beast, it didn't deserve pleasure. 

The fight had begun. Ashley wailed on the monster, power never wavering, but slowly and steadily increasing. The beast threw her about, slammed Ashley against what she could, and got increasingly more irritated as it seemed to take no effect besides feeding Ashley's ego. No matter how much Ashley blocks out the pain, and ignores the detrimental injuries, she will be brought to a breaking point, but it isn't possible to determine when… yet.
