One of these days... [Shadow]

[RuetheDay]

Rue flicked a red strand of hair out of her eyes as she wandered near the edge of Nymph's Lake, it was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, the sky an lovely azure blue; she hated it.

It was gross, it was hot and the bustier of her black Gothic Lolita dress was sweaty. She frowned in disgust growled before sitting herself on a large rock, she stared out over the dark blue water, a little amused by how deep it seemed.

It was a time like this she just wanted to hurt something, even if she had nothing against it, just to watch sadistically as the blood ran down its face from a quick slice if one of her knives. It was quite appealing, she hadn't done something like that in what seems years.

She fingered that lovely set of scalpels, kunai, other various sharp objects... Left untouched for so long... It was frustrating. She had no reason for aggression against anyone. She just wanted to kill something.

This is why people take you for a loony, Rue. Rei groaned in annoyance.
Shut up, Rei. No one cares.
Hmph.

There were some days having multiple personalities was the biggest pain in the bloody universe...

[shadow]

Life had gotten to boring. it was to easy. no challenge in the slightest bit.
therefore Zeus was bored out of his mind.
He tried to entertain himself with brutal exercises.
Zeus training started with a 20 mile straight run through the Forest and to the lake.
after this long cross country sprint Zeus drops and does 60 rapid push ups.
but even this hard workout was getting to easy.
But today it was to easy. Zeus was ending his run around the lake when he saw a strange girl sitting by the water.
he didn't pay much attention to he tho so he just nodded his head and went on with his run.
Sundenly Zeus was greated by a death threat.
he could feel some thing was hostile and something was looking for a fight.

[RuetheDay]

As Rue's apathetic gaze finally unfocused into the endless blue of Nymph's Lake, she was instantly brought back to her senses by the sound of the crackling under brush, a presence, a person, a student perhaps, quickly passing by... She didn't recognize their presence, not that it mattered who they were, what mattered is what they were now; her prey, her victim.

In seconds, Rue was on her feet with the smuggest look on her face. She flicked out 6 bo shuriken into the air, watching them in what seemed slow motion before snatching them and sprinting barely a good 60 feet behind her target.

[shadow]

It was the glimpse of a reflection that caught Zeus's eye.
he was well trained in staying on guard.
it was near in possible to surprise the fox let alone sneak up on him.
When he terned his head he fond a kid chasing him.
what the heck!! this little kid was the death threat he felt.
well this wont be any fun.
Zeus might live in the woods but he had honer.
he would not harm a girl let alone a child.
what a downer hes was hopping for a challenge. the only person to beat him was coyle. the again that kid wasn't far off from being a god.
Zeus was really looking for some fun too.
but what to do about this child.
Wait!!! i know i can train my defense.
the kid wont get hurt and ill get maybe a small workout.
with that he stop and faced the girl.
hit me with you best shot.

[RuetheDay]

Shooting past him, a bad move on the par of Rue's inevitably low stamina, she skidded to a stop only feet behind him and with a flick of her wrists, 6 bo shuriken sent his way. Smirking she waited for the squitch of them sinking into what due to where she had aimed, either his upper torso or left arm, if it hit the arm the trajectory left for a fine pain to a pressure point that would immobilize him for a few seconds leaving a weak spot open for a short time frame. If it hit his torso, a select bit of pain due to the needles sinking straight into his muscle but no extra perks, either way, Rue was satisfied when she readied herself for his reaction, tossing a piece of red hair out of her face holding the same daring gleam in her eyes and arrogant smirk.

Oh, how fun this will turn out.

[shadow]

There was a flash of steel and six shrunken were flying at Zeus.
well this small girl had some speed but he instantly saw she had problems with stamina. if i get into a stick spot i could use that to my advantage thought Zeus.
With a slick smile Zeus out of no where drew a Diamond bladed sword.
this sword was sharper than steel and could just as easily cut through it.
many years the sword has been passed down and yet is had not one touch of wear of dulling.
with a flick of a wrist the shrunken were easily deflected and sliced in half like paper.


with a teasing smile Zeus yell that all you got?

[RuetheDay]

"Not hardly." She replied acidically, flicking up two kunai and several bo-shuriken which she caught which her teeth still smirking. Darting behind him she sent a kunai strait for his calve. The pressure point there would make his leg nearly useless, or at least painful to use, she hoped. He'd already stopped an almost perfect shot and that sword, impressive. The guy was indefinitely worth her time.

But where was the weakness? She couldn't seem to find anything to her use. Maybe a simple disarm but even that would be difficult with how well he worked with that sword. It was sharp too, the shine to it, the hardness... perverted thoughts, crap, distraction; it was made of diamond maybe? Something hard. Anything she threw at him would be useless from afar till that factor was eliminated.

Up close melee? If it came to it, she might have to hamstring him and go from there. But still, that sword and by then, a lack of stamina. There was indefinitely a time everyone's met their match... This could be hers. ...Nah. She wasn't invincible but she was pretty close... well when she wasn't fainting or exhausted.

She spit out three of the bo-shuriken catching them between her fingers, ready to go after him again. She waited for his reaction first. It was more fun to counter moves then make the first one. She hadn't provoked him enough yet obviously. There was also an air of arrogance about him. Like she was being underestimated. She smiled, that would soon be his downfall if she worked it correctly.

Zeus couldn't help but admire this child's gut.
she went and picked the biggest and baddest person she could fight.
ether that or didn't know who she was messing with at all.
there was only one person to beat the powerful fox.
and that was Coyle.
for some reason when Zeus was near coyle hes powers changed in very unusual ways. some become even more powerful and some don't work at all.
but out here in the sun there was no problems.
Zeus had complete control over his powers and even had some new ones he just discovered that aloud him to be more powerful then he could control.
with a flick of a wrist the knifes were deflected and shot right back at the child.

i think a proper introduction is due
i am Zeus
The fox said while bowing

[RuetheDay]

In a swift movement that merely came natural, the nekomata caught the deflected knives with a smirk. Long distance cheap shots weren't going to have any affect. This was a challenge, but it was most intriguing how difficult this was becoming.

"Zeus, like the Greek god?" She she asked just a bit less acidic then her previous tone. "I am Rue."

Making a mock curtsy she returned to her previous stance, before she shot in his general direction, with a slide she found herself right behind him, sending a three-point set of jabs to his arms, a disarming technique that she knew by heart.

She smiled as his hold on the sword and it dropped with a clang to ground. Mistake. Never. Never let your guard down even for the slightest second. She had more than likely immobilized his arm completely. She wouldn't be surprised if he was merely standing there in shock this second. They always did. Those invincible types, what a laugh.

[shadow]

there was a shock no doubt from the paralyzing attack.
But he didn't name himself Zeus for nothing.
with a small bolt jumping from his hand Zeus sent Rue flying back.
He didn't do any real damage to the small girl but she did go flying back even farther than he had meant to send her.
Now for the fun stuff Zeus Chuckled.
A huge storm came from no were surrounding the battle Field in a dark gloom. and with the powerful winds swirling around the was no way rue could use her trowing daggers and such.
Powerful Lightning strikes hit the ground randomly.
Zeus's eyes went white but his fur did not go black.
he was in control of his powers.
The demon fox raised his numb arm to the sky were a lightning bolt hit his hand wrapping its self around it.
Zeus shot the bolt into the river and raised his hand.
Not a scratch he laughed while wiggling his knuckles.
Reaching for the sword this battle field now finished.
a realm of light and darkness.
Game on Zeus shouted Smiling evilly.

[RuetheDay]

As the storm began to swallow what was soon to be a blood spattered battlefield, Rue slid to a stood nearly 60 feet away from her position only seconds ago not in the least fased with the same smug look as always though that had hurt a bit... it reminded her of the last time she shoved a fork in an electrical socket good times. But she'd seen better none-the-less, this was a bit disappointing really. "That all you've got, Zeus?" She said slyly, her British accent coming up again, she wasn't sure where it came from or why it was so on-and-off. Shtupid amnesia.

Her eyes turned blood red, her pupils, cat-like slits as she began acidic ally reciting a small spiel in the language of the ancients. Slipping off her glove she sliced the palm of her hand, gripping her fists letting the blood drip to land in small drops to the ground. Throwing down the dagger which stuck in the ground, she smiled almost maniacally, her eyes narrowed and that was the last anyone could see... The fog closed in, cold, nearly freezing with an air that put shivers up even the most fearlesses' spine. Necromancy was scary stuff. And Rue was near in an absolute master at it. As well as the theatrics.

"Mistake. A dire one as well." You could hear the sneer in her echoing voice, it was every where but yet, Rue was not to be seen. The ground started to open, the sound of rocks breaking, skeletal arms and that of rotting flesh broke the surface, crawling from the depths of where they lie. Maniacal laughter erupted with the hiss like sound of the swarming undead. Though Rue might summon them, she hadn't truly much control over them. She would merely rely on their nature, the dead's only nature: Hunger. And oh, would they feast.

[shadow]

Zombies.
well it wasn't anything new; or scary for that matter.
Zeus had already fought the un-dead. in truth they were to easy.
they only had one weak spot and the fox knew it well.
there stood an army of gut-less bones.

Zeus
come on rue thats pathetic.
really?
you summon bones?
come on i really expected more.
I'm even going easy on you.



with a slash at the the closest zombie he had a clean cut.
but just as he expected the creature rebuilt his body.
but there was a movement in the sky.
the clouds followed Zeus's movements exact.
and a slash of very bright lightning hit every zombie.
the light was so bright thats they were gone instantly.
and the static in the air caused the fog to dispersed.

[RuetheDay]

As the fog cleared, Rue still stood smugly. Tilting her head with a smile that looked innocent but was more then not, a maniacal one. She held a black knight chess piece between her fingers; it was her trade mark. Every kill, she would leave one. None-the-less, this was to be the same. "Check and mate, Zeus." Her red eyes still narrowed menacingly. "And what is sad, you really fell for that decoy? Why would I bother to bore myself, let alone the first challenge I've found in what seemed forever with such a meager attack. My apologies for the misunderstanding." Rue said in false sweetness, trying to keep from laughing.

Turning her back, glancing behind her before she bent to pick up her dagger which she promptly licked the remain blood off of before making yet another sacrifice for her next summons.
"Dievieðu par tâlu valstîba kurâm skatîties no augðas mankinds cîòa, es jautri sveicu tevi. Lûdzu, pieòemiet manu pazemîgs piedâvâjot kâ kalps jûsu Devine. Es izsaukt jûs, tâm krituðo dçï. Smaka jûsu ilgi gaidîtâ atriebîba..." She said as she drew an ancient symbol in the dirt, turning to smile maniacally at Zeus oncemore. She was losing it. She was ****ed that even Rei quieted, the only thoughts were hers and they too were barely understandable. "Veikt ðo vienu no mana tçmçkïi."

A distict rumble of hooves in the distance was that of Rue's next line of defense, particularly on of her very favourites, like a personal cavalry. Over the hill, through the trees, both in spirits and in fleshy coating of meager bones, they arrived surrounding. Unicorns. Dead unicorns and their spirits. Rue was skilled as a communication between that of the living and dead, no doubt, this was a terribly easy task for her. Merely the tiniest bit of her performance. "Slepkavîbas viòam!" She commanded and watched as the at the very least, a hundred unicorns rush him with distorted snarls.

She crossed her arms and watched as the first rammed its victim into the lake. Poor, poor Shadow. He knew not what he was dealing with... Yet.

[shadow]

Zeus couldn't hold it any longer.
he busted out laughing because little did rue know he was right above her floating.
he used his skills with light to put out a false image.
she had thought she had check but yet Zeus had played chess many a time.
but not with other players but with death its self.
he had always stayed 2 steps ahead of this girl and yet he could make it apear as if she was about to win.
tho the unded might be strong they were stupid and easily fooled.
projecting another image of him self he lead the stamped over the hills and off a cliff.
now where were we?
o yes!
Zeus pointed the blade at Rue while hovering right in front of her.
your move.
Zeus said chuckling.
o what fun this was and now he saw where Coyle found his amusement.
on second thought Zeus said i think its time i played a little offence.
using the flat of his blade Zeus hit rue many times leaving huge bruises.
and he too knew a little about the body.
with a strike to the back of the legs Rues knees gave out.
there she was on her knees right at Zeuses merrsy.
Blade at the girls chin Zeus put his blade away and held out a hand.
i never hit a downed player.

[RuetheDay]

Rue growled in annoyance ending with a cat-like his as she took his hand pulling herself to her feet before smugly lashing out smugly. "That's not quite fair now is it.. You wouldn't have gotten me down without little mind games like that. Can you not face me on the ground like a real man or must you play with your little lightning bolts and such..." She practically snarled, her blood red eyes narrowing on him shooting daggers through her glare.

She backed off as her zombies surrounded in, the unicorns, their rotting flesh that hung from the edges of their bones, the murky smell of the dead which filled the premise... they were still hungry and disliked being deceived as little as she. Rue smiled relieved of this fact. "They're hungry."

As they made form another charge Rue took off at one of the tall old trees, skillfully running up to jump, landing on a middle branch. She wobbled almost losing balance atop the branch, her head throbbed as her stamina was dwindling. It was pathetic, she would pass out at any second at this point and her loss of blood wasn't helping. That was the only problem with necromancy... it was masochists play.
