The mine’s passageway groaned as the ceiling began to collapse piece by piece. Serraph dove free from a falling piece of ancient stalactite, rolling back to his feet. This section of tunnel had begun to crumple inward from the dynamite’s detonation, weakening the rotted supports further. Kerrigan rushed to the collapsing portion of the mineshaft, but with a quick intervention on the arrancar’s part, Serraph thrust himself in between the infested Terran and the now collapsing passageway.
“Begone, whelp.” her voice snarled as taloned wings fell down upon him with deadly intent.
“Let the humans fight it out,” he chuckled softly, stepping back from the fatal arc, “leave us to our dance, m’lady.”
This wasn’t the battle he had with Ahana or Eternity. These strikes were meant to kill, each throw of her blades was poised to tear his fragile body apart. The King’s Servant wove and ducked his way beneath an oncoming assault. He brought his blade to bear, directing the menacing wings away.
Calculating and reading her capabilities proved to take longer than he anticipated. She was relentless. He lunged from the danger of another strike, her blade instead plunging into the earth below. Serraph recovered and slashed at her exposed back, but she had already begun to follow up with her offensive. The bony structure of her wing repelled him at a speed not yet revealed. Surprised, he stumbled back with whatever momentum he had left.
His spare hand clutched at his chest, covering the shallow wound, while the other held out Libro parallel to the mineshaft ground. It was astonishing how superior the cutting ability of Kerrigan’s wings was to Ahana’s javelin. Had it not been for the cool ink that trickled from his pale skin, he wouldn’t have even known.
His hand smothered itself in the thick ink, displaying it before his visor to admire the Queen’s artwork. It wasn’t just the razor sharp edge of the talon itself, but also the sudden haste that propelled it.
“Truly amazing, Queen of blades,” he proclaimed with a manic cackle before continuing, “such a clean cut!” He dropped low, his body tensing as his sword crossed over his chest“If she could adjust her speed in such a manner,” Serraph’s ever-present smile widened to an inhuman degree,“ then there’s no reason why I can’t as well.”
A cloud of aged minerals kicked up in his wake as the arrancar sprinted towards his adversary. The same strange duo of beasts sprouted from the ground attempting to intercept. Then the pair cried out, firing their biological weapons, but Serraph was no longer there. With the sound of sparking static, he forced reiatsu out to his side, allowing him to sidestep the would-be deterrent. He was fully aware of what those creatures were capable of, having summoned one to rescue Sasuke from an early demise. By the time they had begun to react, it was already too late. Serraph ignored the pair of creatures attempting to shield their master and forced another spurt of spiritual energy from his heels.
Using the momentum he’d obtained, Serraph cut across Kerrigan’s guard. The pale paper of his blade sliced into violet flesh, between the bony structures lining the Queen’s body. His sword arm pulled the blade across her as he passed, staining Libro with Kerrigan’s crimson ichor. Slowly he slid to a stop and exhaled.
~POP~
"Yo, this anemic twelve-year-old is trying to choke me,” a female cackled, “da’s hilarious!"
Serraph blinked and whipped his head toward the sudden noise to see a pair of tangled bodies materialize. Through the air they soared, contestants Ass Kicker and Sasuke Uchiha, strangling the life from one another as they went. Tumbling to the dust covered ground nearby, Serraph’s keen eye focused on the wristlets they were bestowed. Watch-like in nature, the “Hopper” featured a broad face and wide purple switch. Upon this button the visage of their glorious host, Karl Jak, was superimposed, and… and…
“Did the damned contraption just wink?!”
~POP~
Their partners vanished as Kerrigan used the opportunity to recover and closed the distance on the distracted arrancar. Kerrigan's hand thrust forward, gripping the one who dared wound the Queen of Blades by the neck and slammed him into a jagged crevice. Serraph released hold of Libro and resisted, clenching his hands around the infected Terran’s wrist.
“Now about that head I promised to collect...” Kerrigan snarked, her bladed talons closing in on his neck.
The King’s Servant refused to look into the golden eyes that bore through his parchment laden skull, but instead observed his partner weathering his own predicament. That blade of his was unique. That much the arrancar could decipher. What if he, Serraph Quarrere, could access such power? From his own essence, the Kusanagi replica formed over Libro’s scabbard and his hand took quickly to it, drawing the silver blade from its resting place. He then sent a shock of his own spiritual power down the blade, mimicking the properties of Sasuke’s chakra. The arrancar, now silenced by Kerrigan’s crushing grip, poised the lightning blade to strike.
“Begone, whelp.” her voice snarled as taloned wings fell down upon him with deadly intent.
