Bambietta shivered as she could feel the darkness swelling up and flowing from Scarlet, who was this girl? And how did she not notice her? Was this the monster Kotori was telling her about? No...she couldn't let that dwell on her, she was a Quincy. She couldn't die here, not now. Not when she was so close into wiping out all Shinigami life. She spat up blood as she slowly turned her head. "Who...who the hell are you?"
Scarlet spoke with a purr in her voice. "I'm your worst nightmare." She yanked her arm out from Bambietta, her arm now drenched in the crimson red blood of the Quincy. Scarlet licked the blood from her arm and grinned. "Delicious." She swung her bloody arm to the side as the blood splattered onto the ground. "Now then....let us see what you can do now, against someone as terrifying as me."
Bambietta coughed up blood as she slowly turned around, she gritted her teeth in anger. "You think...you think you can just...just."
"Just what? I can't hear you. You might have a punctured lung, you might want to speak up." Scarlet spoke with a sick and twisted grin on her face. "But speaking up or not doesn't change anything. At the end of the day, you're just cattle." The Grimm girl snickered as she took one step closer to the Quincy, watching as Bambietta took a step back. "Ara, Ara. Where did all of that fearsome mojo go? Don't tell me you pissed yourself scared?" She laughed and licked her lips. "But since I've got you here..."
Kotori watched from the sideline, her crimson red eyes locking onto the two. She watched as Scarlet played and toyed with her new found prey. But something inside her told her, this was a trap. She opened her mouth to speak, but didn't. She needed to regain her strength back and fast.
Scarlet dashed forward towards Bambietta, closing the distance between them. She grinned widely as she grabbed the Quincy by the neck. Slamming her into the ground with a sickening crunch and snap that came from Bambietta's body. "I wonder, what you taste like?"
Bambietta cried out in pain as her bones broke. Her eyes widened as the air was taken out from her body, gasping for air. Scarlet snickered sinisterly, she tightened her grip on her throat and lifted her up off the ground. Bambietta struggled, kicking her legs and clawing at Scarlet's hand. Her face turning a shade of red and blue as the air was being cut off from. Scarlet's grip crushed her throat as she watched Bambietta foam at the mouth and her eyes rolling into the back of her head.
"Put her down." A voice spoke from behind Scarlet, the Grimm girl scoffed as she turned her head to the side, seeing Giselle holding Kotori hostage. "Or your friend here gets it." A sick grin played at her lips as a twinkle of murder shined in her eyes.
"Oh?" Scarlet asked as she tightened her grip more on Bambietta. "Do what you want to her, I don't care." She chuckled, she could see the fear and betrayal in Kotori's eyes.
Kotori knew how Scarlet ticked, if she was serious about letting her die. The least she could do was show some remorse and guilt, but no. She only showed her dark and twisted side, the side of evil she was.
"Is that so?" Giselle asked with a cocked eyebrow. "No second thoughts? No begging?" She shrugged it off like it was nothing. "If you say so, but don't come crying to me when I make her my puppet of the undead."
"Undead you say?" Scarlet asked with a small purr. "Now this, I have to see." She tossed Bambietta's body to the side, Scarlet's eyes glowed with malice and murderous intent. She raised her foot over Bambietta and in a quick stomp. Scarlet's foot caved in Bambietta's skull, the sick squelching of blood squirting out from the Quincy's head and the gurgling of Bambietta choking on her own blood filled Scarlet's ears like music. "By all means, go ahead. Let this so called...zombification power of yours work its magic on your precious friend here." Her eyes still glowing that crimson red.
Giselle scoffed as she tossed Kotori aside, she cut her own arm as her blood began to trickle down her arm. Kotori slowly stood up as she stumbled, she watched as Giselle walked over to the now dead Bambietta, her blood trickled down her arm and to the tip of her finger. It dropped into the broken jaw and caved in skull and head of Bambietta. Giselle took a step back as she looked at Scarlet, she grins wickedly and walked over to a dead corpse nearby. Ripping the limbs from it, she walked back to Bambietta's body as the torn flesh from the corpse Giselle had taken, began to peel off from the bone and morph onto Bambietta.
Scarlet watched, intrigued by this. She placed a hand on her hip as she cocked her hip to the side. "Ara, Ara. So this is your zombification power. I must say, I'm impressed." She watched as the Bambietta slowly sat up, but was now. Her skin was a shade of red, raising an eyebrow up at this new look. Scarlet threw her head back and laughed darkly. "So, the only difference is, the skin changes to a red color!" She stopped laughing as she had a wicked and twisted grin play at her lips. "Well then."
"Gigi...." Bambietta spoke, calling Giselle by a shorter nickname. "....That....That thing...." Her gaze looked at Scarlet before looking back at Giselle. "She isn't human..."
"Is that so?" Giselle asked with an even more wicked grin on her face. "Well then, she'll be so much fun under my zombie control."
Kotori still weak, tried to waddle her way over to Scarlet's side, But she stumbled and fell forward onto her stomach. "Tch, I'm too weak. I can barely move."

Giselle fired a glowing blue arrow at Scarlet from her bow, the arrow flew past Scarlet's face as she had moved out of the way. But Bambietta came rushing at her from behind, doing a surprise attack. But things slowed down as time froze. Scarlet had used her semblance to freeze time around her, she maneuvered through the frozen space, moving Giselle and Bambietta into different positions. With a small snicker, Scarlet took this opportunity to slash her sharp nails at the two, making sure she dug into their flesh real good and deep.
Then, something told her to be cautious of Giselle's blood, she recalled how it turned the once dead Bambietta into a zombie, she looked at her nails and tore them off. Shoving the torn nails into Giselle's mouth and stabbing them into her uvula, tongue and the back of her throat. Scarlet's fingernails grew back but weren't as sharp as before, she did do the same thing to her other hand, but this time. She shoved her nails into the eyes of Bambietta and the eyes of Giselle, figuring that was enough. Scarlet jumped back and blinked, allowing time to resume.
Both girls cried out in agony and pain. Giselle gagged and choked as she found it hard to swallow, not to mention she had gone blind, Bambietta too had gone blind as well. But what Scarlet didn't account for was Giselle's ability to heal, taking notice of this. The Grimm girl grins, if only she could avoid Giselle's blood....then it clicked in her head.
"Why don't we play a little game?" Scarlet asked with a purr in her voice. "A little game I'd like to call...Predator and Prey." Her voice took a lustful turn as she spoke again. "The rules are simple. I'm the big bad hungry predator, and you two Quincy's are the prey, I'm the Lioness and you two are the deer." She snickered as she growled. "If I catch you both, I get to devour you. But If you manage to knock me out or even defeat me. Well..."
There was a long pause on that last part, but Giselle didn't seem bothered by the idea. But something told her they should be fighting and not playing, but, it wasn't every day she got to have fun with someone who was a target. "Alright fine, you got yourself a deal."
Kotori, who just stayed on the sidelines watched, unimpressed and unamused. She knew Scarlet was going to do something like this, but she was glad she wasn't dragged into her games. The flame spirit could only sit by and watch. Rolling her eyes, she crossed her arms.
Giselle looked towards Scarlet and waited for a signal, but Bambietta was still blinded by her eyes being stabbed by Scarlet's fingernails. She was going to make easy prey, catching her first before Giselle. Scarlet grinned as she kicked a piece of rubble, which was the signal. Giselle gathered what she could get her hands on to create a diversion and since there were dead bodies scattered around. She had her army of undead at her disposal.
Scarlet watched as Bambietta walked and ran around aimlessly as if she were a deer caught in the head lights. Scarlet stalked closer and closer to her, she grabbed Black Rose and swung the sharp tip of the scythe straight through Bambeitta. "It's a shame you don't have a healing factor like your friend." She yanked the tip of Black Rose out from her, then she swung her scythe downwards. Slicing Bambietta in half, her body collapsed into two halves.
Scarlet scoffed under her breath, she did grin however as she had the scent of Giselle memorized. That was one thing that made her different from the Quincy's and Soul Reapers. None knew what she was, but she wanted to make it interesting. She stuck to the shadows and crept her way through the ruined village. The only thing peering out from the darkness was her crimson red eyes.
