The desolate and spacial torn sky left the around around the church to remain silent and not a single bit of wind to pass around. The very area surrounding the place had been ripped from reality almost, torn from it's roots and placed within a temporal zone or plane fit for those of a specific form of existence. The so called arena had been just a single bordered rectangular area closed off with a white chalk line or paint of some kind that couldn't easily be kicked up and ruined simply by stepping on it. Inside of it, both the red head and raven haired Madison's stood in silence facing one another from opposite ends of the area from which they had planned to settle their "deal". The Battle Sister had remained silent, a vicious glare of anger and hatred of the other woman for albeit forcing her into fighting against her. Saying no would only put her younger self in danger and that wouldn't necessarily be good for either of them really. In the mean time, the Savage Skull mage stood with her arms folded underneath her chest, a cocky smirk on her face with the thought that she had an unfair advantage against her goody-to-shoe counterpart. However, through the logic of altering their past like so, they would alter the course of knowledge they had as well.
With a single step from the raven haired woman, the other had taken a completely defensive stance. She was completely ready to fight off at the very first chance she had to do so. Retreating her step, a light chuckle shook her torso with amusement from the reaction. All she had to do was bide time really and let things play out for her. All in all, getting this pest of an air head away from their younger self was just a way to secure herself the prime form as well as being the superior "ego", so to speak. "Well? You wanted to fight, you contemptuous tramp. Have at it then!" She snapped, breaking the bit of silence they had, further making the situation at hand just worse for the both of them really, but that was purely through the way they had taken any and all insults thrown around. In this case, it was more of the holy warrior's insult spree than anything. An irritated sigh left the Raven haired Madison's mouth before the emerald orbs began to glow a bright red and a pair of wings erupted from her back, expanding outward at their largest span of reach before a sigh of relief made her body less tense. "Feels good to stretch these bad boys out after so long. Come on red, it's a 'you show me yours, I show you mine' kinda deal! Let's go, whip em out and let's see!" She laughed a bit at her own joke, making the red head retaliate with her own eyes imitating the same action, a beaming red glow covering the color of her pupils before her own wings sprouted from her back and shot outward to the sides. "Fine! I'll rip you to shreds in the name of the lord!"
Back in the church
A small hand twitched once more as the rushing of blood pooled back into her body still. The ink like fluid had seemed to rise from the ground like it was gushing outward, however only the motion was in reverse. Rather than pouring out, the blood had seemed to become imbued with her own magic and returning to her body slowly but surely, breathing a new life into the child. As the blood began to recirculate, it began to change her almost; Her long red hair had become tinted a secondary shade of color, brightening from it's crimson hue into a bright orange, almost emulating the appearance of fire. As the last bit of blood forced it's way back into the child's body, she coughed up a bit of blood, also black as night in color and dripped onto her bare portion of her torso from the hole caused by her evil future self. She shot up into an upright position and began to breathe heavily out of fear and disbelief, as if she had only spaced out it seemed and the rush of pain shooting back through revitalized nerves.
"W-What the...Where-" Her eyes and body jumped at the sound of an explosion from outside of the church and looked around. The rumbling ground jostled her memory to what had gone on, but was it all just a dream? A hand ran over her chest to feel the newly found hole in her clothing and the feeling of her hand on bare flesh had ushered her to feel a shooting pain throughout the child's torso for a moment, making her wince and bite her lip before another explosion had rang through the church. Something about it irked her really. Her thoughts were mainly focused towards the idea of her own adult selves fighting outside the church, keeping the respect of their childhood home which was sweet to know. She pushed off of the ground and started to dash off towards the exit before tripping as her body seemed to have trouble adjusting to it's reincarnated form just yet. The smaller red head shook it off and jumped back up, running off at the fastest she could seem to normally run without the need to use her magic. She wouldn't break the vow she made with Battle Sister Monaka and the other sisters, even if they weren't a part of the same plane for right now.
The two continued their fight back and forth in the sky, just a few feet above the ground. Caught off guard by the first explosion, the raven haired Madison had taken a bit of a hit to her wings and caused her to be unable to fully use the sky to her advantage. In the second explosion, the Battle Sister had gotten her right leg injured and slightly burnt from the backlash of the outward spread of it. Both women held back swords within their hands, seeming to be made of the same black, unholy energy that had caused the skepticism of the nuns and priests of the ministry throughout her life. The child stood peeking around the edge of the building toward the arena, watching and observing the look of the two women and what they had looked like as they fought. The black wings on both women, the gleaming red eyes, the familiar magic and feel of their weaponry had begun to reflect back at the child of the reality she was faced with knowing now. She was just some creation... No real parent.. But something made her wonder; Why was she human? Why were they both human as well? If they were all born from- no, created. Created, created CREATED! The word felt so alien and frustrating to accept, it started to make her hate herself for it. An abomination on the world created by god! But even then, it felt as though... Maybe he did it on purpose. As if she was given a purpose of something to find out, or maybe she was something he wanted to test, an experiment of the lords miracles.
She shook the thought from her mind and resettled herself to the fight before her. Watching the two fight in the air, an instinctual use of flight and both fighting for the same purpose; herself. It was hard in this case to REALLY narrow down whether it was the narcissistic form of herself, or if they literally were only fighting for Madison's own sake. A secure path of their own life, but both path's caught the child in a bump of confusion and tore her thoughts of the whole thing. For one, her red headed self was a life long goal come true. A battle sister! Something she idolized being since she had ever first heard of them. The passion only grew when they had trained her to use magic, and more when they instilled the hope that one day she could grow to join them in their endeavors and adventures. On the other hand, she had this woman, consumed by her own powers, a fear that now with knowing who... or well what she was, made much more sense to her. Granted, the curiosity she sought was more of why she had to let the darkness consume her and not grasp it's full power to use AGAINST Savage Skull, rather than simply turning to them for her acts against god's children.
