Hunting Vulcans(Sinali Solo)

Job details:

Sinali was a dark mage, a powerful one at that and had quite a hefty price on her head. It wasn't every dark mage that killed off one of the magic council after all, particularly one as well respected as Harland. It was a shame she couldn't of gotten one of the stronger ones like Sparrow. She expected his young flesh would of been much more tender. However, that was besides the point. She was not here for that reason. She was here because some vulcans had been causing a fuss and the villagers were quite irate. As such they had called in mages to assist in the situation. The mission had stated they wanted two mages which was a shame as Sinali was only one. However, she merely needed to fool them into thinking there was more than one of her, which was easily enough done for the undead girl.

"What is one plus one?" she said as she approached the outskirts of the village. Her body appeared to ripple and then with a slight moan of agony a copy of her formed. It was an identical replica. The two nodded at eachother and then proceeded into the village. To the untrained eye they appeared to be twins. What was odd was that Sinali herself kept her right eye closed whilst the clone kept the left eye closed. In a sense the clone was a mirror image of her.

The two of them appraoched the cheif's hut and the clone knocked before stepping back. For the most part the two would act almost identicaly and fight in the same fashion, but the clone knew who was boss. It could not kill Sinali otherwise it would die. It was to be honest quite perfect.

Magic:

The door opened to reveal a man dressed in the robes of a tribal cheiftan. It seemed quite an old fashioned style, but then again considering all Sinali wore was a red dress that was rather ragged she couldn't judge. He looked at the two questioningly and then both opened up the eye on which was tatooed the guild crest. The man stepped back. "Dark guilders." he said with fear obviously etched in his voice. The two girls smiled. "What do you want?" the man said cautiously. He was trying to brave, but it was obvious to Sinali that he was practically wetting himself in terror.

Sinali reached don into her mouth and from her own body pulled out the mission pamphlet. THe man shuddered in repulsion which caused her to smile. "We are here to play with the monkeys" Sinali said with a smile. The man stared for a moment before comprehension dawned on his face. "Is there something wrong?" The man paused thinking and then shook his head.

"I was expecting someone from Fairy Tail or something, but...I suppose this is more dark guilders style. Are you sure you can handle it?" he said obviously questioning the pair due to their age. They were dark guilders of course, but appeared to be eight years old. Vulcans were notoriously clever and strong. Sinali just grinned in response. There was no need for words. "Okay then. Go wipe out those vulcans before they cause the villages to starve." Sinali nodded and both her and her clone turned and walked away. It was time to begin the monkey hunt.

Magic:

Sinali walked into the woods and sniffed the air. She didn't have slayer senses, but she knew the smells of death better than most. As she expected there was no trace of blood in the air nor any trace of death. The vulcans had not been reported to have killed anyone yet or even taken hostages. If they had the reward would of been significantly higher and the request all the more urgent. She smiled to herself. Soon the area would smell of death and blood. That she could guarantee. She got deeper into the woods and stopped as did her clone. There had been a small rustling sound that had put both of them on the alert.

"It seems they want to play." the clone said and Sinali smiled to herself waiting for the approach of the enemies. After a few moments though nothing seemed to come out at all. She bit her lip and then decided to try and provoke them and there was one easy way to do that to her knowledge.

"Come out come out monkeys." Sinali said herself and the clone chuckled. From what Sinali knew vulcans hated being referred to as monkeys. It was an ideal provocation. "Its playtime." It was then Sinali decided to be even more provoking. "Or are you big strong monkeys afraid of a wittle girl like me?"

It was that last bit of provocation that caused the first primate to jump out. It was a child vulcan and thus quite headstrong and determined to prove its strength. Sinali's clone leapt at the beast trying to intercept it in the air. This was 100% successful and the clone sent the vulcan flying through the trees. Sinali frowned. She had wanted to play too and yet only one monkey had come out. It was quite dissapointing. Her clone had attacked first because it was closer and also because it would not last much longer. It seemed though that Sinali's dissapointment was to be short lived as with a bellow a large vulcan jumped out. This one was full grown and it seemed to have been more cautious. It had likely only leapt out to avenge the child or help it now that it knew Sinali and her clone to be so physically strong.

The child ran at high speed towards the clone swinging a branch as a weapon. The clone merely smiled and caught the branch with its hand. The strength of Sinali was always underestimated. Her blood made her inhumanely strong. The clone possessed the same level of strength, if not the same level of endurance. It caught the branch and crushed it before striking with a powerful tiger claw strike using the nails on her hand to make a bit more damage. The blow was a direct hit to the stomach. It sent it flying once more this time smashing through a tree. The tree splintered and stabbed into it doing heavy damage. The clone winked at Sinali before vanishing.

Magic:

The young child vulcan was not dead, but it was a lot more injured than one would expect from just two blows. Sinali was that powerful a mage. And what's more, without even using any real magic, she had done this. Sure, she had cloned herself, but that clone had been purely physical. It had used no magic to do the damage it had done. It was out of the battle for the time being from just two blows. Truly a marvel of strength.

The adult vulcan on the other hand had so far received no damage, but neither had Sinali. The beast had roared out and tried to strike her, but she skipped backwards and dodged it blows pirouetting out of the way. It was only when her clone vanished that she made her move. She leapt straight upwards using her impressive leg strength as propulsion. The beast had swung out with its might and gone forwards. Sinali's jump had avoided the blow and now she landed straight on top of it. She didn't do any damage at first. Merely stood there. It swung at her and she leapt off its head causing the blow to miss and it to strike itself. It seemed dazed by the blow and Sinali grinned and swung her arm towards it. As she did so the bracelet upon her arm glowed and formed into a sword with which she stabbed the creature. It wasn't the instant death she'd hoped for it. It moved at the last moment and her blade stabbed through its side inside slicing it heavily.

"Oh you want to play some more before I break you?"

Magic:

Fear. That was something she had not yet seen in the face of this vulcan. Nor had she seen it in the child one which had returned with splinters of wood piercing his body. She now had two opponents, but both were injured. The child was much more injured than the adult yet neither of them was showing fear. Her eye was even open which was a sure sign she was being serious and something some mages had learned to fear. This would not stand. She would need to leave some of these beasts behind when she finished to instill the fear in them. Her eye closed causing her to enter her more playful mode. Perhaps it was time to test out her newest toy? She paused briefly as she dodged a powerful punch from the older vulcan. No, not yet. "Let's see how much blood you can drink today Mr.Snakey." she whispered and then lunged forward. The two beasts seemed to work well together. The younger one ran up the back of the older and leapt at her going for an aerial kick to her. What made it perhaps more devastating was that the older one went in for a ground attack. It was a technique she recognised. She'd heard of it. The earth and heaven extinct slaying technique.

If you tried to look upwards then the one on the ground struck you. If you tried to look to the ground then the aerial one struck you. It was a powerful melee combo attack. What they hadn't probably taken into account was how small Sinali was. She ran forward and threw herself into a roll going straight between the legs. As she did so she struck upwards striking at the groin of the vulcan causing it to roar out in agony. She grinned to herself as she saw it clutching at its groin leaping about. The younger one seemed furious that its attack had failed, but it also seemed to be in more pain. The exertion must surely have caused its wounds to hurt it more. Still she was curious as to how the beasts knew the melee technique. Had they taken over the vanish brothers?

It did not truly matter. It was just idle curiosity and whilst that might kill the cat it would not kill the undead queen. She also considered it as a possible technique for her to use with her clone. They had to be even more perfectly in sync than any vulcans. After all, they thought identically. She turned to face the beasts a smile on her lips. Both of them were incredibly pissed and in pain. That was something that pleased her immensely. "Its been a while since i've had toys that won't break easily." she said with a sadistic note to her voice. Any person watching should truly be terrified. If they weren't then they were fools. She lunged forward causing both vulcans to pound their chests and bellow out in fury. Yet there was a strange note in their voice. She raised an eyebrow, but didn't stop her charge. The younger one lunged forward running on all fours and went to headbutt her. As she went to leap over it and strike it in the pack the larger one leapt over. A variation on the heaven and earth technique perhaps? It was perhaps more effective once you'd seen the first as you wouldn't expect the second. She didn't expect it at all and received her first damage for the fight. A double palm strike to the face that sent her flying. However, out of instinct she swung her arm and the sword extended into its whip form slicing the vulcan across the eyes blinding it effectively.

She hit a tree hard and felt her whole body ache. She was often in pain due to the nature of her magic, but that was voluntary. Actul pain like this was quite annoying, even if the damage did little to nothing to her. "So you do know how to play." she said as she dropped down and walked forward preparing herself. She noted the damage done to the beast with a smile on her face. She hadn't even meant to do that.

"So you do know how to play." As she said those words there was a bellow, but not from the vulcans she was fighting, though they were bellowing, but from the woods around. Three more vulcans had turned up. Another child vulcan had turned up and so had two more of the adult ones. None of them were any great threat in her mind, but the numbers were perhaps going to tell a little. She lunged forward at the weaker one, the one that was blind, and rammed her sword straight through its head killing it instantly. The child one stared in horror and leapt at Sinali, but she punched it dead in the head. The power of the blow was enough to shatter its skull into pieces. Now it was just her and the three new ones.

"So more toys have come to play." Sinali said her eye opening slightly, a sure sign she was beginning to get a little serious. That and the fact she had wiped out those two without trying to torture them. "I didn't want to break the old ones so soon, but new ones are much more fun." That was true in her mind. Newer toys would fight longer. Still, she did miss the desperation the others possessed. It had been quite sweet. That and their combination attacks. Possibly the new ones might have such techniques, but what were the chances of that? High she hoped. She was learning and fighting.

Magic:

Three vulcans left. Two adults, one child. The child was almost no threat whatsoever except perhaps to infuriate the parents if she killed it. Ah the rage and sorrow would be sweet. She grinned and charged forward, but to her surprise and amazement the two larger vulcans put their hands together like a springboard and the smaller one leapt atop before being propelled towards Sinali at high speed. As it flew at her it began to spin rapidly. A clever move, but foolish as there was no way to dodge should someone do exactly what she was going to do. She swung her sword at the last moment. Her strength combined with the momentum of the flying vulcan allowed her to sheer it cleanly in two. Well, not cleanly. Due to it rotating it kind got sliced a bit awkwardly, but still it split into two around her covering her in the blood and guts of the vulcan. A bath of gore. How perfect.

The two adults stared in horror for a few seconds and then roared out in anger and both of them began to charge forward. Both of them were truly furious. It seemed the adults were the parent of this child or at least its caretakers. They had likely been training it in the combo martial arts attacks that they vulcans favoured or so she guessed. What other combos did they possess?

Magic:

Two rather pissed off vulcans left. Both of them were charging at her in anger. She lashed out with her sword in whip blade form trying to trip them and slice them. She missed one, but caught the other the blade twirling round its legs tripping it and cutting into it deeply. The other leapt at her with a powerful punch. It was throwing its entire weight and considerable strength behind the blow. Sinali on reflex rather than any concious action dropped her whip blade and raised her arms in a cross shape to try and block the blow. The blow was powerful, but she'd adjusted her weight to give her the best grip on the ground. Even with that though the blow caused her to slide back and she felt the bones in her arms crack slightly. It wasn't enough to stop her or even to disable her arms but it hurt like hell. She roared out and her tongue lashed out extending and becoming spiked. It curled around the vulcan and began to constrict it. The tongue split into three. A second one was pointed at its head. The third one went for the constricted vulcan further tying it up. With a bit of a strain she lifted the two vulcans into the air.

Both of them struggled in vain, but each of them was stuck and the more they struggled the more the spikes dug in. They were slowly being tortured to death. Their screams were tearing through the air.

"Put them down." said a voice and Sinali paused with her third tongue and then it suddenly went flying out towards the source of the voice. The voice grabbed the tongue and with a blade sliced off the tongue causing it to dissapear. Sinali yelled out in fury and pain then crushed the two vulcans before retracting the tongues. She hadn't yet used up the power fully, but it had taken out two enemies. Now there was only the new comer. He was a powerful vulcan wielding a sword. His body was leaner and stronger. He was more humanoid than the other targets. "You have killed parents and children today and you will pay for that." Sinali was impressed to here one of these monkeys speak. It was not something she had seen before. It was it was speaking she heard a sound behind her and quickly lashed out with the two tongues. They struck two child vulcans through the chest killing them instantly. The vulcan let out a roar of anger and lunged forward with its sword. As it did so a child vulcan leapt atop its back and over straight at Sinali aiming to slam her down. On top of that an adult vulcan came from behind grabbing hold of the tongues despite the damage it was doing thus preventing her from moving freely. She attempted to retract them and to lift the vulcan, but this one was far heavier. It looked hopeless.

"You will die witch." the beast said ramming the blade through her stomach. She coughed blood in its face the blow causing her intense pain. Yet it was not a fatal blow. What worried her more was the vulcan coming from above. She had to deal with that.

"The game is far from over." Sinali whispered. The vulcan was coming down. She had little she could apparently do. Yet she still spoke bravely even as the smart vulcan twisted its sword inside her causing her further pain.

Magic:

She swung her arms backwards suddenly and from her hands eight nails fired off hitting the vulcan behind her in the body and head killing it instantly. The tongues quickly retracted and swung upwards grabbing the child one and ripped it in two safely defending herself from it. Yet she still had a blade rammed through her. The intelligent vulcan seemed surprised. It leapt backwards pulling the blade with it. It stared at Sinali in horror and fear.

"How are you still alive?" the vulcan demanded looking at the blood staining its sword then back at her with the large hole in her stomach and the two parts of vulcan still wrapped by her spiked tongues. She grinned as the tongues vanished.

"Beati Mortui." was her only response. The vulcan raised an eyebrow and looked quite confused. It didn't understand her words, but it didn't need to. What it did need to do, in its opinion, was avenge the members of its tribe who had fallen. Sinali looked at her own fallen weapon and then sighed. She hadn't wanted to reveal this particular weapon so soon, but fighting this vulcan without a weapon would be difficult. Particularly as it began to pulse with magic power causing its form to strengthen. Seemed this vulcan knew magic other than takeover. Either that or it knew a new application for takeover.

Magic:

It lunged forward. It speed was now much higher than before. It was to be honest quite impressive. However it was not ready for what she did next. "Boneheart" she said and part of her arm began to glow a vivid purple. The bones in her arm began to pulse before in her hand a sword formed. It was a long sword, at least in her hands, and for a hilt it had a vulcan head from which the blade was protruding. A nice touch in her opinion. She lunged forward herself kicking off the ground almost like a sprint. The two of them collided their blades striking. The vulcan seemed surprised at the fact her blade had survived, but more so in the fact that it couldn't push her back. She was a B rank mage who specialised in physical applications of magic. On top of that her blood was that of Hercules giving her insane strength. The two struggled to push eachother back, trying to gain an edge and then the battle changed to a flurry of strikes. On this the vulcan had the edge because whilst Sinali's blood made her stronger and tougher it also made her slower. She was also unfamiliar wielding a long sword. Her whip sword was shorter and with the whip form had a bit of a surprise. This was just an ordinary, if very macabre, sword.

It pushed her back with its flurry and grinned. Sinali did not like this, but she too was grinning. This was because with each block and parry she was gaining more control and would soon be able to push it back she felt. Plus the weapon was tougher than the vulcan's and it didn't seem to have noticed that its weapon was cracking slowly.

Magic:

The two clashed with ferocity, but eventually the vulcan leapt back finally noticing the weakness in its weapon. To her surprise it tossed it away and once more glowed with magic power. It was forming a charging stance and out of nowhere formed a spear. She raised an eyebrow. A vulcan with requip magic? That was just...strange. Could they learn magic other than takeover? OR had it taken over a requip mage? She couldn't tell and didn't have time to think. This was because suddenly it charged forward and went to seemingly strike with a straight lunge. However, suddenly as it got close it rotated the spear in a circle whilst moving a strange tube on the shaft. The spear seemed to split into eight. She couldn't tell if it had actually split or it was an illusion or some high speed attack, but she quickly tried to block. Unfortunately, she was not able to block all the strikes and got hit on the arms and shoulders. The beast leapt back and then charged forward again evidently going for a similar attack.

She had to react quickly that she knew. If it got lucky with one of those strikes it might kill her. She kicked off the ground forming bat-like wings from her back and taking to the sky. She needed to get away from it for a few seconds.

However, as she took to the sky she heard a laugh and sense more magic power surging from it before an armor plate formed on its chest, but what was worse wings were attached to it and it took to the sky. This was just getting ridiculous. She would have to pull out all the stops to win against a bloody monkey.

In the air they both had freedom for greater attacks, but her strength was less useful. Her weight also became much more problematic. There had to be a way round this. Then she had it. Something the vulcan would not expect. "This arm is slowing me down." she said and with out even hestitating sliced off her non sword wielding arm. It dropped to the ground and the vulcan's smile of triumph vanished. This girl has just mutilated herself and why? Because the arm was slowing her down. It did not hesitate though and came flying at her once more going for that same spear technique.

This time though it had less of her actual body to hit, but it could still strike her wings and bring her down that way. She grinned though and used another of her spells to harden her skin. This would not defend her entirely and she still felt pain, but it lessened the blow. The vulcan looked annoyed and flew back. This time when it flew forwards Sinali batted her wings causing a D rank gust to disrupt it slightly further reducing the damage. It roared and seemed to pump up its speed and strength with more magic when suddenly it stopped in the air. The reason? A blade piercing through the back of its head and out through its jaw. Sinali's weapon Mr. Snakey in fact. How?

Well, that was simple. Sinali had chopped off her arm and then used her remote control spell to control said arm in order to grab the sword. The arm had then levitated up behind the vulcan and stabbed it in the back. This might never have worked if SInali hadn't deliberately provoked the attacks with her other spells. It kept the vulcan distracted long enough for this to work.

Her arm floated towards her and she stared at it as it hovered in place next to its rightful position. it would take a while for that to heal, but it had been worth it. What's more she noted one of the vulcans from earlier was not quite dead and had crawled away. She wouldn't chase it, but it would do what she wanted. Instill fear into the vulcans. This mission was over...for now. she landed on the ground and prepared to report to the cheif.
