Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Bloodied Bolts

The sound of thunder resounded through the small hidden hideaway, blue lightning surged through Cyrus's body. He barreled through the air flashing into the main room of the hideout flickering into view of the mangled brute and humming woman. Slicing through the air razor sharp bolts of lighting lined his leg as he shot into the brute. His foot bore into the brute strikes of lightning jutting into the brute as Cyrus's foot penetrated into his side. A smirk appeared on Cyrus's face.

 " Heh, all muscly and scary for what." He'd chuckle to himself. Cyrus went to pull his leg out of the wound he had given the brute but his leg wouldn't budge. Dangling from the side of the brute his foot caught in the man's torso as shocks of electricity started to pulse out from his leg into him. " The hell! What even-"

 Cyrus was quickly silenced as the brute's large bloodied hand grasped his head. That grip squeezed and crushed at his skull, the sound of a crack echoed through the room followed by a scream of pain from Cyrus. His scream was met with an amused cackle, his leg was pulled out of the gaping wound and yet not a drop of blood flowed out from the hole left in the brute's side. The teared and seared flesh would wriggle and squirm as it started to wrap and entangle with itself, growing and festering over the wound replacing and closing the hole. Cyrus was held up by his head, that large hand gripping and drawing blood that ran down his face.

 " And here's the first one, did you come to compliment my lovely song." The woman's face was contorted into a smile behind her mask, strolling towards the captured and suspended Cyrus those metal claws that adorned each and every single one of her fingers would run down his chest to his stomach and then to the right side of his body. " But how dare you try and hurt my darling!" One of her claws would suddenly jut forward stabbing Cyrus in the side. " I should shred you into minced meat! Tear you limb from limb, rip your innards out of your stomach and feed you to each and every one of my experiments! Stupid! Bastard! Bitch! Worm! Fucking ingrate!"

 With each word and insult her claws stabbed into his body. His side, his stomach, his leg, time and time again the woman's claws stabbed and lacerated his body. Cyrus's voice rang out in pain from each strike, his legs kicking and flailing as he grabbed his dagger off his hip and stabbed at the hand that was holding him up. Each strike pierced the brute's flesh but not a drop of its blood was spilled and yet the floor beneath him and the brute's body was being painted red. Pulling her hand out of Cyrus's body the woman let out a heavy sigh, her long black hair had become disheveled and covered her face. She ran her bloodied claws through her hair pushing it back and out of her face as she calmed herself." Whew, that felt good to get out. Consider yourself lucky, if i was allowed to kill you I would've already." Her words came out with a cold air, devoid of any emotion as she pulled a small vial off of her outfit. " Okay darling drop him now." She cooed out.

 Being given the command the brute dropped Cyrus, his body crumpled to the ground. As he hit the ground he coughed, blood spitting up from his throat as his bloodied body quivered against the ground struggling in its attempts to get back up. The palm of his hand planting itself on the ground, it shakily being used as a brace. Watching him the woman laughed and brought her heeled foot up to his chin making him look up at her before a swift kick struck his chin. Spitting out more blood his lip began to quiver." Huh? Have something to say?" She chuckled.

 " hah....Ground.....Zero..." Cyrus mumbled out as purple lightning shot out from his eyes and surged and coursed through his arm and into his palm. The lighting that coalesced into his palm shot into the ground cratering and shattering the floor beneath them it began streaking through the area shocking the woman as the lighting assaulted her through the floor.

 " S-shit!" She shakily muttered out as the lightning coursed through her.

 When the lightning's initial burst dispersed against the ground a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared above where Cyrus's palm had cratered the ground, the bolt barreled towards the ground about to strike once again when it was interrupted. As the bolt shot towards the ground the brute swung his arm, smacking away the bolt and sending it shooting into the wall, the redirected bolt detonating against the wall shattering it completely revealing a starry landscape instead of what should have been back into the town.Panting after suddenly being shocked the woman's face morphed into a scowl as she landed another swift kick to Cyrus's jaw, this own rag dolling him across the room colliding with the opposite wall.

 " I've changed my mind, we'll take the core from your lifeless body." She threatened

 Walking across the room the sound of her heels clacked against the ground. She stormed towards the unmoving limp body of Cyrus, the claws that adorned her fingers would start to shimmer. A coat of green cascaded over them and started to drip and ooze down her metallic appendages, stopping in front of him her claw raised. Her gold glare pierced through him as she lunged forward her hand barreling towards his neck when suddenly her hand paused mid swing. Her entire body went stiff as strange runes began to reveal themselves in the gaps in her clothing, her exposed skin having runes snaking across her body.

 From the alcove they had been hiding in Sarah revealed herself, the blue glow of her runes still lingering on her finger as she shakily made her presence known.

 " You idiot, if you're gonna leave so confidently you can't lose so easily." She teased and taunted forcing a smug grin to coat her face.Cyrus painstakingly lifted his head, looking in the direction of Sarah his face was barely visible behind all the blood that covered it. One of his eyes swollen shut as a laugh comes from him only to be stifled as he coughs up blood.

 " Don't you know a noble sacrifice when you see one." He said through labored breaths.

 " Oh shut it, I can't have you dying on me yet." She responded as her eyes closed.Taking a deep breath the blue diamond like halo that hovered above her head began to shine a golden hue. A bright light flashing out and encasing the room as white feathers seemed to flutter down from the ceiling.
