The three stood tall, each one sizing up their enemy. Gynesis with his arms folded, Mugen with his sword lazily pointed at his opposer. And Vinaya glancing between both of them, cracking a grin as well as her knuckles before stretching her arms with a yawn.
The two males stared down their shared opponent with an unyielding determination. Neither one of them wanting to back down or show signs of weakness before the lioness who's invaded their home. They simply can't afford to do so, not after her saying the fight hasn't even started yet.
"Don't disappoint me too much, boys~" Vinaya stated as she finished her stretch.
The evil entity chuckled, her voice taking a much more sinister tone as she uttered those words, her aura alone making the entire room suddenly chillier than Greenland in the winter.
"You will not shake my resolve with such cheap tricks, Vixen." Mugen bit back, his body visibly shaking a little from the sudden temperature drop. Making it obvious that it a metaphorical decline in the room's heat levels.
In fact, the environmental shift only made him narrow his eyes further in focus, steeling his already hardened nerves in preparation of whatever she was going to do to him and his ally.
"Looks like she's about to get serious, best to retaliate asap, brother." Gynesis remained unflinching, on the other hand.
Keeping his arms folded to hide his uzis as his friend as charged his blade with blue arcs of electricity.
THE WHEELS OF FATE ARE TURNING!
REBEL!
The first to attack was Gynesis, revealing and aiming his previously hidden weapons and emptying their magazines. Which were surprisingly quiet despite being Uzis. Vinaya, who didn't look like she had expected such a move, widened her eyes a little before she began moving her body out of the way. A red exclamation mark briefly flashing above her head before she started dodging every round.
With fluid grace, she ducked and side stepped herself out of the exorcist's crosshairs. Always barely keeping the slugs of metal from impacting with her person. Leaving the walls to end up soaking all the damage.
All zero.
For some reason, when the projectiles made contact with the walls behind Gynesis' target, there was nothing left behind. As if the bullets never existed at all. Which was great for his landlord.
Over with Mugen, he was already on the offensive, charging at his opponent's left flank with his sword gripped tightly in his grasp. He'd dash right up to her, swiping right for the shins when she was already ducking a barrage of bullets, forcing the woman to chose between getting hit in the head or below the knees.
In that split second, she managed to choose option C: turning her head and winking at her nearest attacker. The motion, while supposedly harmless, managed to result in the blonde getting hit by nothing right in the chest. Causing a red exclamation mark to flash above his head for just a second.
"!!" The blow was so unexpected Mugen didn't even get time to react to it verbally, due to his mind reeling too hard at that moment. And the probably desired effects of paralysis seeping in. 'What d mudha cunt?!' Was all his mind could conjure at that point.
*CLICK!*
*CLICK!*
*CLICK!*
At the same time, the magazines Gynesis was emptying in his Uzis had run dryer than the Sahara. 'Shit.' He mentally grunted as he threw the spent weapons to the side and went in to close the gap between himself and his enemy. Not even watching as they dissolved on contact with the floor without a sound.
Vinaya, who was yet to take damage for the round, looked closely at the male stuck before her. A privilege granted to her through Gynesis running out of bullets on his end. Neutrally, she leaned forward and looked him up and down like a mannequin at a fashion store, or someone trying to partake in that one trend from a decade ago.
Luckily for himself, Mugen seemed to also have taken zero damage, externally at least. Internally his senses were scrambled beyond his comprehension, eyes unfocused and body tense as he stood on his feet. 'ASIDHIAFNAVIN' Even his inner dialogue wasn't safe from the mental scrambling.
Down his ranged weapons and his friend looking like he was watching an unskippable cutscene, the exorcist had little other choice than to goo for melee. Seeing as his other ranged weapons were a further distance than Vinaya was to himself.
'Now, where are my signatures? I can't feel their presence for some reason' Thought the purple haired one as he arrived on the enemy's other flank. Deciding to use the fact that she seemed distracted with his friend to go in for a surprise punch.
Nevermind those two for now, I need to get Mugen out of her bind!' Gynesis silently winds up a punch right to her face, making sure he was out of her peripherals to maximize the element of su- and Vinaya catches it. Not even turning her head a little, she sticks out her hand and stops his dead in its tracks.
This does not stop Gynesis however. If anything, he expected as much out of her. 'Even distracted you still have those extra senses...' He mused to himself, feeling a rush of adrenaline starting to seep into his bloodstream.
'This is getting ridiculous...' Gynesis grits his teeth, trying to gaslight himself into feeling frustrated. Despite the small smile starting to form across his lips.
Without a moment to spare, he tosses out a kick for the middle of her back. Only for Vinaya to contort her body into an impossible yoga pose in order to stop his foot halfway. An action that made him take a step back, literally.
'There's no way this woman did all of that just to block a kick... A perfect standing split, then she curves her leg to intercept mine...' The unparalyzed male said within his thoughts at the sheer audacity and absurdity of the maneuver. 'She could've just bent her foot the other way and it would've been easier for her. Yet she chose to show off her super human flexibility instead. This woman is crazy.'
"That was close." Vinaya lied like she breathed, still facing a stunned Mugen.
His confusion palpable, the exorcist mouthed a "what?" involuntarily in sheer shock, paired with his smile only growing wider.
Seemingly done examining the blond before her, Vinaya turns to face her other opponent, spinning around with a vicious roundhouse aimed right for Gynesis' neck. Without even thinking, the exorcist dodged, dropping to the floor with a split and leaving her leg fighting with the atmosphere. 'Did my life just flash before my eyes?' Questioned the purple haired lad as he came back up on his feet.
"Hm? That's new." The redhead mused holding the kick's pose like she didn't just whiff, her mouth curving into a smile as well.
Over with Mugen, he was finally let go of whatever spell held him in place. And his first action upon being released was throwing a stab to the evil woman. Aimed right in the back.
With a burst of speed and an electrified thrust, the blond's blade landed true. Piercing flesh and impaling all the way through with little to no resistance.
"Ah!" Shouted Vinaya, her body tensing up from the sudden intrusion, her eyes darting down to the bloody blade poking out of her chest with surprise. "Wh..."
She tried saying something, but was cut off by Mugen ripping his sword out of her. He said nothing, focussing every thought he had solely on trying to get rid of the evil entity ASAP. Even if she was hot as hell. She was also evil, and in Mugen's mind, that was too much to overlook. 'Was that a moan?' Said blond questioned internally, his face reflecting the growing confusion he was feeling.
*THUD!*
*COUGH!*
*COUGH!*
*COUGH!*
With a heavy thud, she falls to her hands and knees, now heavily injured and coughing uncontrollably. Now with a gaping hole in her chest, Vinaya looked down at her feet, her guard broken and leaving her open for all form of attack plausible. Including her forehead.
'Perfect' Gynesis thought as he reached into his pocket to pull out the sealing tag he had put away not too long ago.
"Quickly!" Mugen shouted vaguely, hoping his ally would get the hint.
"..." Not even needing the reminder, Gynesis was already halfway through with trying a second time to place an Ofuda on his adversary's forehead.
His hand was fast, but even in her weakened state, Vinaya proved to be faster. Surprising both males, she snapped her head upright, making the senior exorcist's attack miss its intended target.
'Okay, she did that on purpose.' Angrily thought the purple haired fighter as his hand goes past his opponent's forehead and lands squarely on her chest. Specifically the other breast. 'Doesn't make this major fuck up any less major though...'
"And there goes your final chance at salvation." Grinned Vinaya, now looking up at Gynesis with a satisfied smile, as if she'd planned his every move up until now. A saccharine smile on her face as she stood up, the hole in her chest starting to close.
And like that, he's out of ways to get rid of this, this THING in the shape of a hot woman. The evidence of his last attempt at such now hanging off of her nipples like a sick mockery. Refusing to believe it, he looked at the fruits of his labor, his jaw hanging low at it all.
'Oh nah....' Gynesis thought to himself watching in horror. His body refusing to listen to his commands to move, to carry on the fight. To his physical form, the victor had been decided, and it was NOT him. Making this Gynesis' turn to get frozen by Vinaya.
Mugen on the other hand, didn't give a shit about whether or not he could win. He's still standing and that's what's important. The odds of victory be damned. If the odds aren't in his favor yet, he'll make it so they are, even if it kills him.
'Magic didn't work, fists didn't work, and ranged didn't work, and even sealing her didn't work.' The blond counted every form of attack they've tried on their adversary thus far, taking a step forward with boldness. A move that felt like it took forever.
'So what? My sword worked, showing us that she can bleed no less. And she can bleed, she can be killed. Even if it's a small chance, it's one I'm willing to take.' He added, taking another agonizingly slow step. Eyes glued on Vinaya's backside as she casually walked up to the frozen exorcist.
"Brother! Overcome!" Mugen grit through his teeth, shouting his lungs out even though Gynesis was right there. "BROTHEERRRR!!"
Even with such a close proximity, the man didn't give a response to his comrade. Not a muscle moved, even when That vixen rest her hand on his shoulder and started speaking.
"I'm bouta revoke your main character privileges, have fun in the sex dungeon!" With a sugary smile, the lioness sin waved at the paralyzed man before removing her hand.
"What'd she say?!?!" Mugen, stunned himself, was unsure of if his ears caught the right words. Half parts angry his legs won't move fast enough and half angry at Vinaya herself for invading his homespace.
Just before she whispered a few more words into his ears and pierced her hand into his chest. The motion filling the air with the guttural sound of bones snapping and flesh ripping.
The motion covered the victim in a black and red lightning before both disappear into nothing. With his last moments on Gamindustri, the exorcist overcomes his paralysis just in time to mouth the words "You must win"before a bright flash. Much to the distrought of the blond survivor of the invasion.
"You're a demon" was mugen's response to what he saw, believing he'd just watched his best friend die right before him. The blood he'd drawn from her still dripping from his sword.
Glancing back at the last man standing, the sin hid her satisfied smile with her shoulder, silently giggling to herself before shifting her expression back to neutral. In one fluid motion she'd spin around and grab the man's hand.
"I prefer the term (VPU)~" The lioness sin chuckled before letting go of his limb, leaving a black and red ring behind on his ring finger.
And like that, she too disappeared, as if a figment of the poor man's imagination, leaving him standing there with a new piece of jewelry and one one brother less than she'd met him.
