Aku vs Sienna

[17:35] Aku says, "Hey, Sienna."
[17:37] Sienna Kykessy says, "Hello."
[17:37] Sienna Kykessy says, "Are you feeling okay? She beat you up pretty good."
[17:37] Aku says, "-"
[17:37] Aku asks, "I'm fine. I could've won, okay?"
[17:37] Sienna Kykessy says, "Yet, you didn't. Loser."
[17:37] Aku asks, "Yeah?"
[17:37] Aku says, "Well, I will."
[17:37] Aku says, "right now."
[17:37] Sienna Kykessy says, "She's busy now."
[17:37] Aku asks, "So?"
[17:38] Aku says, "I don't care if she's busy."
[17:38] She led her small dragon cousin around.

[17:38] Sienna Kykessy says, "Hm, seems like she's too fast for you."
[17:39] Aku says, "..."
[17:39] Aku asks, "Who cares???"
[17:40] Sienna Kykessy says, "It sounds like you do- and you're being loud, kid."
[17:40] Aku asks, "And?"
[17:41] Aku asks, "What's wrong with being loud?"
[17:41] Sienna Kykessy says, "It's annoying."
[17:42] Aku says, "You're annoying too, and people don't tell you."
[17:43] Sienna lifts an arm to grab Aku by his hair. She pulls him upwards just a little, enough for it to hurt.
(Sienna Kykessy)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:43] Sienna Kykessy asks, "Are you going to shut up?"
[17:43] Aku says, "-"
[17:44] Aku is grabbed by his hair, forced to look up towards the devil's incarnation. A hand reached out to push against the Nagual's body.

"Are you going to shut up?"
(Aku)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[17:48] The sting of occult magic begins to flow from her palm, reaching to the tip of his crimson hairlocks- and then it drips down on his head. Slowly, but surely.

It feels wrong. Not painful per se, but aggravating enough to make the child want to scratch his head desperately. When he is of course unable to. "No. I don't think I will."
(Sienna Kykessy)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:54] As occultic forces creep on him the young one shifts a bit. He was uncomfortable, as if in the wrong place at the wrong time. It felt like he should be sitting down and scratching that itch, not standing up to this pink-haired necromancer. Still, his desire to prove himself right flared up - as did the cosmic energies around him. A frown was brought to his face both the betrayer and the praiser of the celestial object up above them faced off in a show of might. The energies from far above were... odd. It was as if they didn't wish to be classified, to have their origin determined, as if such didn't bind them.

"I don't think I will, either."
(Aku)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[17:57] "Hm, hm, hm."

The sparkles around Aku were either ignored, or simply perceived as too weak to be considered as a real threat. The occult magic continued to pour from Sienna's hand, but Aku's response earns him something else. The occult shifts and turns, liquifying itself into umbretarn that washes over Aku from above.

It's not a peaceful or slow stream. It's a full blown shower he never asked for.

"There's no soap to wash your mouth with, but this should do."
(Sienna Kykessy)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:03] As cursed waters came raining down upon him forcefully the young one had no option but to return the favor. Sienna would feel her own weight bringing her down soon enough. The grasp that reached out for her manipulated the laws of physics themselves, increasing the gravity further and further - making the Nagual feel like the last pie she ate may have been too much. Teeth came to a grit as grey eyes stared into Sienna's own, challenging her - magic slowly escalating to the point of a full-blown fight bit by bit.

"Is that why you stink so much?"

They weren't quite fighting; he was feeling itchy and wet and she'd be feeling like she couldn't move the longer it went on. Still, this hadn't exploded yet.
(Aku)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[18:08] Sienna mists parts of herself each time the gravity Aku has under his control focuses her. Whether if it's her belly, head or some other part of her body. However, he's met with a harsher treatment the longer he resists.

In a match of egos, she'll be the one to win. If this was a contest about flaunting one's power - the Nagual won't surrender. Scarlet red electricity jolts from the tips of her fingers, forcing the boy's body to go under relentless shocks. Once the first is over, the second begins. Who was he to stop her?

"I don't need to beat you up, kid. I am choosing not to. But you'll learn how to behave if you want to continue to live here."

Or at all.
(Sienna Kykessy)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:15] Shocks that jolted through his body forced him to ache and suffer. His own assault had been met with nothing but expertly-timed mist physiology. This left the young Aku with no choice but to play it defensive, too. The lightning that sparked up and followed next was met with a piece of translucent rock - forced to bounce off of it. A small crystal wall was rising up and pushing against the Nagual's assault - pushing against her. He may have been weaker than her but it didn't mean he'd just listen because she wanted him to.

"I'll act like I want. It's my life and I'm free to do whatever I want with it."

Truly, the sealed god's wisdom had reached the bottom of his heart. The brief glimpse into the stars that surrounded him seemed... to shift. A bit of a taint came here and there, though the red color may have been from Sienna's lightning or the distorted light behind the crystals. Who could tell?
(Aku)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[18:20] "Wrong."

His life or not, he had no right to act whatever way he wanted. Not unless this city belonged to him - which it didn't. Frankly, it wasn't Sienna's either, yet... She strangely acted like it was. The lightning bounces off the crystal wall, shooting near Sienna. Her eyes seem to track the bolt for a couple of moments– and then they stare at her own reflection upon the wall.

He got close. Too close.

"You really are an idiot." The lightning returns, this time, shooting down from above. It was lightning, after all.

"Apologize. Or it'll hurt more next time."
(Sienna Kykessy)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[18:29] Perhaps pushing it further was not the solution. It was bad for the both of them; backing off wasn't something either was capable of doing in most cases and their will crashed against one another harder than the spells that were bring tossed carefully left and right. With walls of crystal surrounding him the young one felt at least a bit safe.

... That is until a bolt of lighting came from above, striking him with all of its bloody might and passing through the defense he had put up. Smoke rose up from within the confined space, grey eyes staring at the Nagual with nothing but ill-intent.

Samson's attempt wouldn't defuse the situation at all - it was far, far too late. His hand wouldn't past through the crystals that surrounded the redhead regardless, leaving Aku with only one option.

"Make me."

His provocative words were timed carefully as darkness crept up around both himself and the Nagual. It grew darker and darker- the circle that spread out far was slowly getting smaller as it went on. A certain... heat could be felt.

That would be about when Sienna would most likely notice what the young one had brought as a retort to the hellish bolt from above. The stars... were raining upon them both.

This was definitely going to lay more damage to Dawn's square than anyone could have predicted. The young one was going overboard, though this time it was provoked.
(Aku)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[18:36] Did she plan this? ..No. But did she want it?

Absolutely. There's a mad grin etched to her visage when the lightning strikes Aku, and it widens slightly just when the boy's words are heard. Make him do as she says. There was no greater delight than that. "Alright."

The forecast didn't mention a rain of meteors, but a little drizzle never scared the Nagual. Her lips purse, and she begins to hum slowly. The heat of the cosmic magic beginning to warm the Nagual. That, of course, calls upon those familiar tendrils of umbretarn to arrive.

They slide down the Necromancer's arms, caressing them gently before extending outwards - ready to lash at Aku when he gets nearby.

"Ah. But fight better than when you fought Cordelia."

It didn't sound like she was asking.
(Sienna Kykessy)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[18:46] He is no match to her, to no surprise.

The Nagual's violet whips lash at the boy whenever he dares to step close, and when he tries to keep his distance- hellish lightning strikes from above. Those tendrils prove themselves worthy to bring forth thin circles of umbretarn, which all begin to slice and dice Aku. Each cut is performed with precision, and leaves not only a wound...

But an agonizing reminder of her occult magic. It's deep, sinister and mad. That alone can bring a man down to his knees when facing Sienna.

Her skeletons only make this dirtier. They beat the downed cosmic magi far after he reaches the floor, striking him with their clubs. A clear lack of remorse or regret, of course. They felt nothing.

"Shame. All that talk, and it amounts to so little..."

Pressing the defeat further was half of the joy in a petty battle such as this.
(Sienna Kykessy)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:53] There was no way he could match up to the Nagual's might. Cutting waters and endless undead made quick work of him leaving blood dripping, and a throbbing, maddening headache forcing him to fall down to the ground, unable to continue. This sucked. Just how many people would bring him down? Why was he unable to stand up to them? How could he change it all?

The answer laid above him - far, far above him. A pained gaze turned to the heavens before he muttered out a few words.

".. shut up."

How original.
(Aku)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:58] It seems like she's about to step away, but when her foot raises?

It is brought down once more, not away from Aku - but directly above him. Her heel is pressed into his throat, undoubtedly causing him to choke on his very own words. Cruel. Especially when one considers the age difference between them.

What was even the point of this?

"Again. I didn't hear that." The Nagual's golden eyes continue to stare down at Aku as he lies helplessly on the ground, not turning to face her undead with a glance, but still, managing a response.

"He is harmless. I don't care for him."
(Sienna Kykessy)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[19:04] The rough stomp had him gasping for air, staring out towards the heavens, still. The moon shone brightly, yet nothing came. He couldn't pull what he thought he'd attain after an oath. He couldn't bring out the gift that was supposed to be bestowed upon him. Why was it this way? Why couldn't he speak? Sienna had robbed more than his voice in that moment. All he managed was to try and survive, to not choke on his own blood as he kept looking for a solution, unable to find one.

He couldn't repeat himself, alas.

The life of a kid sucked sometimes.
(Aku)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:06] "Hm, hm, hm."

She waits and she waits, and he eventually says nothing. Good. She wanted to hear that. The silence of his defeat. She lifts her foot up slowly, the heel no longer pressed down the boy's throat– he's allowed to breathe. He had been given mercy. Wasn't that a reason to celebrate?

"Thought so."

The humming stops and she turns only to blink at Samson, as if he was speaking in foreign tongue. A second blink occurs before she turns away again, moving away from the pair of kids.
(Sienna Kykessy)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[19:14] Aku remained on the ground, staring up to the heavens as this went on. There was a lot to think about - a lot of consider. Just why- why wasn't he being given what he wanted? Where was the strength he deserved? Why was it so difficult to be free?

Aku wouldn't move, stuck thinking.
(Aku)
