Practice 2 (Lorielle Only)

As Lorielle went on, she would catch his Persona sending more knives at her. Using her nimble body, she would simply move out of the way of the cars in which the knives would fly under. Nice cheap shot. Were he closer, that probably would have hit her no matter what she did. Maybe it would be more fun if she took the time to mess with him. It also seemed he was still in the car not moving. Messing with his mind, she would send Yhoundeh to slash the car right of his with the same physical move she had used before. Slashing the car in two, Yhoundeh would remain there, keeping her motherly, yet fierce demeanor as Lorielle would run to that row and begin running down it, not at Zong Wu just yet, but focusing on him. It was a bit odd that Lorielle was just toying with him. She was becoming rather eager to get back into the fight. Was she going through some sort of phase or change? Maybe.

Yes, it missed, Jin noticed it as he peeked down below. That was the real limit of those knives. What a real pain. That deer-horned Persona was cutting down that car next to him. Was she just guessing? Or just really screwing around with him? It was probably the latter, but regardless he would have to make his move.

The teacher summoned Hashashin from the crevices of his mind. Jin simply moved up right into the open for Yhoundeh to attack him. However, he had moved close enough that Hashashin would materialize just right next to Lorielle's Persona, before it could try to attack Jin, as two knives were flashing to dig into its spiritual flesh.

Spoiler:

Okay maybe she should stop going through her change. She was suddenly brought back to reality when her first attack was not only canceled by his counter, but Yhoundeh was also hurt as well, and Lorielle felt a slight sting in her head and a brief absence of Yhoundeh in her mind. She had to stop screwing around. That being said, Lorielle would still be running to the car where Jin had gotten out, only she was on the other side, giving about ten feet of distance between them and a car’s worth of cover. Yhoundeh, fleeing from his Persona after being hit, would fly back whilst bringing forth an ice crystal, shooting up from the ground going through the car between them. It would offer even more cover for the time being, and could give Yhoundeh a chance to find protection.

He bid Hashashin to return back to him once Yhoundeh would retreat a bit. He felt a slight tremor. Through the window he could see bare ice blocking his vision through it. For what reason would Lorielle do it? Or actually... that would mean she was simply on the other side or nearer. Knowing that, Jin would need to adjust. While still keeping his Persona to him, he ran away from the car that would actually put him out in the open. However, somehow verifying that his sparring partner would be on the other side of the car, he already bid Hashashin to throw more of the knives.

Again like last time there would be chains following the projectiles to maneuver the trajectory. It would attack both right and left sides of the car in which Jin would think she would be. Before allowing another volley of ice to follow him, Hashashin returned back to his consciousness as he hid behind another nearby car that was left of the previous he had abandoned.

Spoiler:

Watching the car itself gave her enough time to avoid the two knives which had to take the time to go around the car and to her. Though using the chance, she would nimbly hop around the car to Zong Wu's side, and have her Persona once more, fly back to his Persona and attempt to strike him with Cleave. Meanwhile, Lorielle was making her own attack with her soulbound weapon. She would make a horizontal slash to his left side hoping to make a hit. She knew it was fruitless, but the time taken to attack him, could help Yhoundeh get her attack on his Persona. He'd better hurry and find better ways or he would risk losing it for a little while.

Current Stats:

It looks like returning Hashashin would be fruitless. Already she was leading the attack with her naginata and her Persona's blade. The assassin Persona again threw those knives. One blade diverted the antler-headed spirit away from its cloak harmlessly while the other projectile would come to hit right at her. While this was going on, Jin had already sensed Lorielle coming at him. He quickly spun around to catch her pole weapon with both hands. Using all the excessive and efficient force he could muster, Jin manipulated her own naginata's shaft in a way that he brought up near his chin and then thrust it back into Lorielle's stomach to force her away. It'd probably push her back a few feet back while he gained her weapon in his hands.

Spoiler:

Feeling the slight absence of Yhoundeh in her head once more, Lorielle would get annoyed. She was getting far too careless in this battle. After being deflected from his attack, she would call Yhoundeh to return to her subconsious. She would try a familiar strategy she used once before. 'Time for a fake out,' she thought. She would hurl her naginata at him, mostly just to catch him off guard, as her poor aim could not hope to make it to a direct hit. Taking whatever distraction she caused, she would vault over the car once more and take a run down the aisle, making more room between them. She would call her naginata as she was running back to her hand, and turn around once she was around thirty feet from him.

Weakness:

Current Stats:

Despite his maneuvers, she was able to wriggle her way out of it. That said, she hurled a whole goddamn naginata at him. A naginata. Her actual weapon. Why would she do that? Regardless, Jin didn't really have to move much due to her poor aim. But it did surprise him at least. Jin bid Hashashin to take another shot at her with its dual knives. Right after it did, the Persona would return back to his side.

Spoiler:

The distraction gave her enough time to run back, as well as jump to the side in the middle of the aisle avoiding the knives coming from a distance at her. She would make an even further distance, about fifty feet away, nearing the end of the road, and held up her naginata. Maybe there was something else she could do. This training was helping her as well. Maybe there was something she could test? Yhoundeh would hum in her head, as though she was comforting her. Did she have an option?

Jin was really running on fumes here. He chased after the girl with Hashashin behind him. The distance stayed the same in an approximate thirty feet. At this point, the Persona had enough. They were going to try to end this. The dark energies enveloped his body to later break open into a new life form of some sort. Time was limited, but he felt much stronger. This time he closed the distance even more. Holding up both arms, there was a little niche in his wrists that shot out a needle each towards Lorielle.

Spoiler:

Looking upon the new being that seemed to be Jin….no, it was his Persona….’Did they just meld together?’ she thought. She had no idea that this was possible. Could that happen with her Persona as well..? “Child….” Her Persona would say in her head. Yhoundeh was suddenly behind her, and lowered herself to give Lorielle a hug around her shoulders like a caring parent. But all at once, Yhoundeh’s presence grew heavier, until liquid began to drip from her body, falling onto Lorielle and being absorbed into her body. It was as though she was melding with her as well, as over time, her body became more malleable, and sunk into Lorielle. The process was uncomfortable, like another physical being was stepping into her body. Once Yhoundeh was gone, inside her, Lorielle would drop her weapon, and fall to the ground, clutching her head, and soonafter, other places on her body, as the incredible pain that came from summoning her Persona was everywhere. With a loud shriek of pain, hidden off by the warehouse, being too far for anyone outside to hear, she would lurch forward, as a weird black and red liquid, perhaps blood became to seep from her mouth, nose, eyes, any orifice on her body. The droplets hitting the ground would form a puddle that seemed to fill totally, making a black and red spot beneath her; a truly unsettling sight.

After her shriek, from the pool of blood, tendrils would grapple onto her limbs, and other parts of her body, wrapping tightly around her, as the pool seemed to shrink, rather move up the tendrils and cover Lorielle. It would seep over her, into her orifices, cutting off for a moment her ability to breathe and see, as she could feel her physical body morphing and changing, before her upper body remained mostly the same. Though under her, her legs were being changed, and she could feel herself getting bigger. The red and black good would slowly solidify, and form a hideous monster, covered in sharp-teethed mouths, six tendrils that could extend a very far length away, and small feet to hold the large bloated body up. When Lorielle regained her consciousness, her skin was milk-white, and her upper body was for the most part, still humanoid, and her eyes were a deep blood red. She could think coherently, but she would only let out groans and moans as she smacked a car to the right of her aside with one of her tendrils, and would then extend it out with little effort to Zong Wu. She would take the needles he sent, feeling barely anything from it. This form was truly terrible, yet exciting. It was grotesque, yet powerful. It would truly be something very useful in the future. The tendril would attempt to grapple him and toss him to the side, two rows to Lorielle’s left. Seeing as how he remained in one area, and did not have many attacks he could throw at her, it seemed like it would be rather easy to send him to the side. It would not cause much damage to him at all, as she was not directly attacking him, but Lorielle wanted him away. The pain was dull, and still there.


“…..Rggghhaaaggghhhhhublbur...." she let out in the voice of hers and her Persona’s mixed together. They really were one. ‘Child….’ Her unaltered voice spoke in her head. ‘We are one. Use what you are given. Strike your enemy!’ It was the one order she was happily going to listen to.

So even she had a form too. This was going to get even much more harder. Jin had a slight chill as he heard her voice coming from this utterly grotesque form. He saw those tendrils were coming, but it was too late as he felt them grip onto his body.

"Guh!"

Then he was thrown to where the cars would be. Before he would actually collide into the windshield, the teacher shot needles, connected to his arms by some organic piece of rope, to dig into the ceiling. By pulling on them, Jin was able to maneuver himself away from the cars to quickly smash two feet right into her face.

Surely it wouldn't hurt her much. Right?

Spoiler:

Successfully sending him away, Lorielle would turn her attention to the now floored Zong Wu. How weak. Her mind was jumbled with so many different emotions. Fear, pain, excitement, pity, anything you could think of was in her head. She felt a bit like playing with her meal before consumed at the moment. On the other hand, he seemed he wanted to continue the fight. He would send two more knives at her. Pitiful given her ability. The cars that were to her left, she would grab three with two of her tendrils for each car, and hold them in front of her. The attacks would hit the cars and mess them up quite nicely, but do absolutely nothing to Lorielle. Once that was done, she would hurl them at Zong Wu, attempting to either knock him back further, pin him down, or just see his reaction for a bit of fun. With the speed of the flying cars, Zong Wu could not hope to simply fight it. He would have to dodge, or worse, get taken back by the cars. They were a decent distance, but the cars moved by rather quickly, and they covered a decent area since it was three cars with some space between them, so if he could escape, it would be needless to say, an ordeal.

“Raagdkjhjjjjjjjjjjlaggggh!” Lorielle would let from her mouth, still in the mixed voice of her and her Persona. The voice would sound sinister, and at the same time, Lorielle’s upper body would bend forward, her hands on the grotesque body below her and let out a demorphed laugh, while pushing herself upright, albeit her body jittering while doing so, still struggling with the pain of this form, and the fact that it would not remain too much longer. Clearly she was enjoying herself in this battle. She could not wait to see what her meal would do next.

Oh this was wonderful. Apparently this form she took on was strong enough to throw five cars at him. It is true he's seen some supernatural stuff lately with whatnot in Kogami's and Lorielle's abilities. But being able to lift those things? Now that's very scary. But he had no choice, except to run forward to meet them head on. Running as fast as he could, Jin would almost about to be crushed by at least one car while the other two would tumble about harmlessly. However, he slid down which narrowly missed to hit his head. As he was past the trio of vehicles, both hands rested on his torso. With flesh ripping, it allowed to shoot out a harsher shot of crystallized fluid from the gelatinous mass that popped out.

Spoiler:

Taking one of her tendrils, she would slice through the flying car with ease into two pieces, flying off and hitting the ground with a clang for both pieces. While doing this, the other five tendrils would stretch out to Zong Wu, and going to either side. Seeing as how her length was roughly the size of a football field, she could even bring one tendril behind him in case he made an escape. With two tendrils, they would both make a single slashing strike onto him, doing rather heavy damage to his body. He would be alive, and Lorielle at least had her mind enough to know she would not kill him. Though ending the fight with an unconscious man was proof of a fun fight. Once the attack was over, she would clutch her head, feeling the sudden sharper intensity of pain as the inside of her hideous body was changing, unknown to the others. It seemed that her time was about to run out, and she could not hold her form much longer. “Ugh….aaaaGGGAHAGGGGuuurggGGH…..” she let out.
