Rio vs Miho [PG-13, NDE]

[Rio Demonliogalgo]

Hmph. Ducked his punch and blocked his Sai. That was annoying. When she started up her chainsaw, Rio struck again, with a knee strike aimed at the inside of Miho's thigh. When she lunged backwards Rio raised a hand and sent a Balla hurtling after her. At the instant she used her technique, Rio happened to be feeling an emotion alright. Glee. He was feeling quite gleeful at the sheer act of battling. "Heh... Heheheh.... hehehahahah.... HYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!" Rio's eyes were wild, and he seemed overcome with a psychotic glee at their battle, if the hysteric laughing wasn't a big enough clue. "I don't know what you just did to me Fraccion, but I feel great! He taunted, as he began to rush towards Miho, intending to take his first serious offensive move, laughing the entire way.

Then something appeared before him. Vast with six head. A hydra... of Greek mythology. The sight of this tremendous beast caused something to change in Rio. He wasn't sure what. There was something about this beast that he felt he could almost relate to. But what was it? Rio wouldn't have known, of course. As a hollow he had lost all memory of his mortal life, and in any case, 6000 years is a long time to try and remember something. It was, of course, his life as a Spartan that had created this stir within him. Tales of the Spartan Herakles who slew the mighty Hydra with a sword and a burning torch. Ugh.... burning. Just the thought would have made Rio's skin crawl, if he'd been thinking of it. Fortunately, he wasn't.

Rio looked at the titanic beast with what could almost be construed as boredom, if not for the fact that he was still grinning psychotically, thanks to Miho's ability. "Is this it!? That's so dissapointing!" He should release now, right? Release and show her what a REAL monster looked like! ....No. No he wouldn't. She wasn't yet deserving of that honor. Rio lunged forwards towards the Hydra. His next action might surprise Miho, as the Espada suddenly reared up into the creature, grabbing its leg. It was time to show this garbage what real strength was!

Rio bent his legs as he grabbed the beasts leg and pushed up off the ground, lifting the beasts leg clear into the air. He began to turn and with his enormous strength, even the mighty Hydra would not be likely to be able to resist being lifted by the centifrugal force Rio was starting to generate. One powerful turn, and Rio released the leg, to send the giant monster crashing through the air towards its creator, intending to crush Miho under its weight.

Oh fuck. Was she dealing with another Okusa again? That man thought that she was the Oreo Overlord...which really sounded cool but it he was happy so that made it stupid and ruined her fun. Miho was exhausted from the last two techniques, not to mention, she took a hit from his bala. Tch. Pansy. She was using her chainsaw to keep her up. If she could just rest for like....a minute or something, she'd be fine. "Heh... Heheheh.... hehehahahah.... HYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!" Miho growled. Loudly. Clearly irritated that he wasn't pissed off when he SHOULD be. Seriously! "I don't know what you just did to me Fraccion, but I feel great!" At this though, Miho would laugh. This fool had no idea what was coming to him. He was doomed. Not even releasing was going to save him. "Ahahahahaha~...Enjoy it while it lasts, Espada..."

Miho was just standing back, allowing her hydra to take care of things. She had an elbow propped up on the tip of her hilt and she was looking at her nails. She was mocking him. "Is this it!? That's so disappointing!" Her lips would curl into a demonic smile and she look at him. What she saw though...now that was impressive. Tch. He was going to hurl her hydra at her? Her monster was letting out screams and cries of protest, clearly not wanting to be in its current position. It was angry, it wanted to kill. Miho knew that. When he hurled her hydra back at her Miho extended her arm out and faced the black skeletal hand at it. She was calling it back. It would split into black energy and flow right back into Miho. See, the thing about Forze de Male was that she used the black energy to create monsters and send them out. She could call them back and reform them into whatever she desired. Miho's body was surrounded in what seemed to be some sort of black energy that was flaring. Similar to the ones emanating from her skeletal hands. She could also send them out again...Like now!

Minotaurs were vicious weren't they? How about 4 of those?! Yeah! Also...the negativity of her creatures flows right back into her and she'd easily send it out after him again. It would actually come back much more stronger because now there was another creature's feelings being taken account for; the hydras. Miho sent out the 4 minotaurs. All four surrounding Rio, charging at him. Monsters were so cool. Seriously. The Hydra was her all time favorite. Cerberus and Minotaurs were nice too. If she could, she'd have a pet hydra. "The only thing disappointing here is you.." she retorted.

One more thing..Orcus' bane should start to take effect now. It was slow acting, but well worth the wait. He should start feeling itchy. It should yield a little irritation but nothing really big at all. What did it do? Rio was free to ask. Miho might tell him.

The hydra was quickly absorbed by Miho again. Rio looked a little dissapointed in that. "Tch. Whatever." He stated, clearly having lost out on a bit of his fun. But suddenly she summoned a number of Minotaurs. Rio smirked. "Have a liking for the ancient Greeks do you?" He asked her with a smirk. As the Minotaurs raged in, he felt a slight irritation of the skin and glanced down. That was odd... was this related to what she had done in the sand earlier? His face twisted into a sadistic grin. "As it happens.... so do I." Odd he could get a whole sentence like that off with the charging Minotaurs, but hey, talking is a free action afterall~

Rio leapt into the air, avoiding the Minotaurs attacks and landed outside their little 'ring.' He flipped his Sai into reverse grip. "Well, you've amused me, Fraccion, so lemme show you what a REAL release looks like!" He taunted. "Attack Cerberus!" He drove the Sai into his chest at that moment. But there was no blood. Instead of blood, a vibrant green reiatsu rapidly sprayed from the Sai, covering Rio in a tremendous aura of power. His spirit pressure crashed down upon the area, causing even nearby Sand Dunes to tremble. The field of Reiatsu began to expand, and within its brilliant light, if one squinted hard enough they might have been able to see something taking form within it. Whatever it may have been, however, it wasn't human.

And it was big.

At last, the reiatsu vanished into the air, and revealed what had taken form within it. A tremendous body, formed of corded muscle and reddish fur. Three snapping and snarling jaws with fangs, some longer than Miho's arms. At its back a large serpentine tail reared up, tipped with the vicious head of a cobra. Venom dripped from its jaws, landing on the sand and sizzling as it burned a hole into the sand. A strange green mist poured out from Rio's jaws. Standing at forty feet tall, and towering over even Miho's Minotarus, Rio's release had caused him to take the form of the Greek guardian of the underworld, Cerberus himself. There was a moments pause, before the three heads let out a tremendous howl of fury, the soundwaves causing sand to fly up around and away from him, potentially burying Miho in a wave of sand.

One of Rio's heads wheeled to look at the Minotaurs. They had seemed so much larger than him before, but now they didn't even reach up to his shoulders. With surprising speed for something so huge, Rio approached them in a single stride and one of his massive paws swept forwards, intending to obliterate all four of them in a single blow! Yet another of his heads looked in Miho's direction, a snarling grin on his canine face. "THIS is what a ressurection is, Fraccion. Let it be fixed in your memory for the remainder of your very short life." He warned.

"Have a liking for the ancient Greeks do you?" Miho, who was resting, perked up at hearing this. Ancient Greece had badass monsters. "As it happens.... so do I." Miho stood up straight and blinked. "Oh?" she questioned with a raise of her eyebrow. He was going to do something. Miho honestly wasn't sure if she was going to like it. "Well, you've amused me, Fraccion, so lemme show you what a REAL release looks like! Attack Cerberus!" Releasing? Oh my...Hm. Gut feeling. It told her to distance herself from him. Miho soared high into the air. She could feel it. This reiatsu. It was fucking sinister. Not as much as hers, but still..it was sick. Props to you Sexta....but you're still not good enough.

He didn't take on that humanoid appearance anymore. Miho floated away, slowly flapping her wing as she watched Rio change. Miho was going to go insane....from amusement. She could feel a serious adrenaline rush. This... This was too damn good. A Cerberus. A big ass Cerberus. No wonder he made that comment about Ancient Greeks. Miho's body was trembling with excitement. She was going to bring this fucking beast down and she was going to love every minute of it. It was going t writhe in pain and cry in agony. She was far from the ground, where the sand couldn't touch her. She saw it's teeth..what's that green stuff? Poison was normally associated with the color green. Could it be a poisonous mist? It was there for a reason..she had to assume the worst...How exciting~!!

"Well, well, well..ha..'Bout fuckin' time!! BRING IT."

He knocked out all four of her minotaurs and their negativity flew right back into Miho. She rested for long enough. She was back! Scylla. A giant Scylla. She had more than enough energy to spare. She could make a big nasty one. Let's conjure that up. Miho looked at Rio. A hit from it would be more than enough to take her out. She'd have to be careful. Hm. Why didn't she send the Scylla out before? Well, she was sending it out now. And it was in front of Rio in all its glory. All 6 heads screamed before coming after each one of Rio's heads. He'd have to get through the Scylla first if he wanted to attack Miho.

"Heh...Would you roll over like a good boy if I threw you a fuckin' bone, Rio? Ahahahahaha!" she laughed callously. Tch. She hated dogs. Mutts...so ready to give up and lie down..and for what? A stick?! Stupid creatures...so willing to give up their freedom for their 'master'. Miho would never understand dogs. Ever. Mark her words, she's gonna put this puppy to sleep. Permanently.

[Rio Demonliogalgo]

Miho appeared to be up in the air, which didn't bother Rio too much. While foes on the ground were certainly easier to deal with, he wasn't completely limited to ground attacks. And due to his multiple heads he could direct his attention to multiple locations at once. As Scylla appeared, Rio bared all three sets of teeth in a snarl. Now, Miho was probably focusing on Rio's former three heads. That was only to be expected. But if she wasn't keeping a close eye on the serpent head, she'd be in for a nasty surprise as it suddenly spat a fairly large glob of venom flying through the air towards her. The glob was about the size of Miho's torso, and if the bit with it literally sizzling and burning a hole in the sand when it hit the ground wasn't enough of an indication, it would be very, very bad if Miho got hit by it. Oooo... but Miho was tired, wasn't she? Exhausted by the effort of maintaining Orcus Bane? That wasn't good....

As for Scylla, Rio realized he'd be wasting time if he spent too much time fighting it. As much as he loved fighting, he could kill her creations forever and she'd still keep making more. It irritated him. Rio snarled at Scylla, leaping up above its attacks, intending to land on its back. Even if Scylla could match Rio in size, 10 tonnes landing on you isn't gonna feel so hot. Rio's three heads looked to Miho (or, if she had managed to avoid the spat venom, her new location) and opened their jaws. The mist within his jaws was hiding it fairly well, but within the Espada's three jaws, three different Cero were forming, and suddenly blasted out of Rio's jaws at Miho. Three Cero, each proportionate to Rio's size. A.k.a. pretty fucking big. It would likely take more than a simple Sonido to avoid this attack!

This fuckin' mutt. He's going to pay. Just for being annoying as well as being a dog. Well...then again...he was a Cerberus. They were okay. And this fight was sorta fun. Huh...With all the negativity she was racking up...she could definitely try to play his game. Of course, she knew she wouldn't be successful, but she honestly did want to see his reaction to that. Anything to get her opponents riled up. From above, she was watching her Scylla try to handle Rio as she laughed. But from the corner of her eye, she saw something. Didn't this mutt have a freaky tail or something like that?....Oh shit, is that fuckin' poison? It doesn't look good! Miho would wait for the opportune moment to dodge, she didn't want to leave her spot. Once it neared her, she'd use sonido basically to flicker. She was allowing the venom glob to pass by and once it did, she'd return her original spot.

"Oh, you are one sorry ass puppy dog..!!!!"

Miho watched as Rio landed on the Scylla's back and she'd call it back immediately. That was MORE than enough to do something. As it's dark negativity was flowing back to her, Miho could feel something. She could feel reiatsu starting to build. Rio already released...so it couldn't be that. He was charging something. More than like it was one of those Espada-esque ceros. Ugh. What a fucking pain. "As if I'd fall for that..." Miho conjured three, slightly large, fat goblins. Oh look...They were big and round enough to fit in each one of his mouths. Enough to make the cute little puppy to play roll over with... "Fetch! she said as she allowed each goblin to fall into each mouth....seeing as they were all open. It also took time to charge cero so she might have enough time. But to be safe, Miho sonido'd above his back and faced the serpentine tail of his. She was aware of the venomous tail..she was going to get to that. But right now, Rio was going to choke from those three fat goblins and he was going to suffer from a huge cero backup if he didn't stop.

Oh venemous, snake tail...you're annoying and therefore must die~. Miho had something else up her sleeve. Ever hear of dog fights? They're pretty nasty you know...Miho made her own Cerberus. It wasn't as big as Rio, but it does the job. She just wanted one little thing gone. That tail. It was going to be a pain to deal with later on. She had that Cerberus attempt to rip off Rio's tail with its teeth. Miho was panting. This Espada was good. She wasn't going to admit it, but he was. She was actually tired. Regardless, she could keep going...not for too long, but she could. She'll force herself if she has to . She refused to stop until she made him beg and whimper. Just like before, Rio should start feeling the same irritation on his skin. He was infected with her Orcus' bane...and it wasn't going to stop. Better think of something!

[Rio Demonliogalgo]

Hmph. Miho had evaded his venom attack, dodging out of the way. Her attempt at clogging up Rio's mouth, however, wouldn't go QUITE as well as planned. You remember that green mist that poured out of his jaws, of course. Yeah. Highly corrosive. Those poor l'il goblies would literally start melting as soon as they entered Rio's jaws, although that wasn't what prevented Rio from launching his Cero. He cancelled his attack as soon as he saw Miho moving. As she stopped above his back, his tail lashed out at her instantly-- before she'd have a chance to summon her own Cerberus. It struck at Miho with a jaw filled with razor sharp fangs dripping with venom, with surprising speed.

Why was it so fast? Well, to be honest. It wasn't. It was just as fast as Rio normally would have been. The difference was size. Something much larger moving at the same speed would cover ground even faster! Which would be bad for Miho. Having successfully interrupted Miho's own attacks, Rio pivoted out to the side-- again, with speed that would likely surprise Miho given his tremendous size. The canine head closest to Miho suddenly lashed out in a flash of fangs as he tried to bite down on the Fraccion's body to trap her in his jaws. He was banking on her being distracted by the snake tail's attack, and missing this attack from behind. Although Rio was slower than her, he was making his strikes quite fluidly, despite his monstrous forms, and it created the illusion he was faster than he actually was. If successful, Miho would have to deal with Rio's own version of Orcus Bane-- a much faster acting variant.

"Baka." Rio taunted her with one of the heads that wasn't attacking. "Do you really think you're the first one that's tried to target my back? With four heads, a serpent's tongue and a canine's ears and nose, I have no blind spots!" He boasted, his words ending in a snarl from another head. He could certainly feel the irritation of Orcus Bane prickling around his skin. But it wouldn't matter. He could already tell Miho was exhausted. His sharp ears could pick up her panting breaths. Could it be a ploy to make him overconfident? Possibly. But he didn't feel Miho was the type to do that. No, she liked being in control. She'd hate to have to pretend like her opponent had the advantage.

"Shit!"

That damn tail of his. Yeah, she'd definitely need to get rid of it first. Tch. As far as her monsters go, It seems as though they've served their purpose; stop his cero. Those worthless creatures negativity would just flow back to her again. The more Rio destroyed, the better. But right now, that wasn't doing shit. Why the hell did Orcus' Bane have to take so damn long? Whatever. It should be taking effect now. It'll only get worse from here on out. She was already facing the venom tail as she was creating that Cerberus. This thing moved fast. Miho began to charge a cero and used yet another sonido. She'd move out to the side, out of range and away from his tail. Fuck. She was even starting run low on reiatsu. She'd have to take care of this soon. There was one thing she could do about it. Make him suffer right now. Put an end to this...But this was fun too. Trying to end it right now would be stupid.

He was moving fast. She wasn't sure if her sonido could keep up at this point. Remember the cero she was charging earlier? She was about to pull a Kouen. He used that thing as a sort of propulsion device. Well, she could use it to blow away most of the mist. Her reiatsu wasn't strong enough to dispel it completely. As he lashed out and tried to bite her, she fired her cero in his mouth. Heh. That oughta make him back off. No seriously. It would make him back back up. However, she was close to his mouth before, she was exposed to some of his mist. Even if it was just for a moment, she was exposed...which meant she was probably in deep trouble right now. Tch...She'll just have to tough that out...Somehow.. The irritation from Orcus' bane should start to get a bit worse now...maybe she'd have a chance..

At first, she honestly was trying to make him feel overconfident; soothing his huge ass ego. Tch. People are so easy to manipulate. A few pretty words and you have them wrapped around your finger. People always want to hear what it is they truly think they lack because hearing it from someone else reinforces that. Be it a compliment on appearance, intelligence and in this case, power. While she didn't exactly do that per say, she'd assume that she had at least distracted him. He got caught by the effects of her technique and that was all that mattered. But now, she seriously wasn't trying to fool him. Miho loved to be in control. She wanted to be the queen. She wanted to reign with an iron fist and she wanted to display that. Right now...she wasn't doing that.

"Baka. Do you really think you're the first one that's tried to target my back? With four heads, a serpent's tongue and a canine's ears and nose, I have no blind spots!" She'd smirk. "Hn...Won't be long 'tiI I have you whimpering and begging for me to stop." she hissed back. "...No blind spot? HOW 'BOUT A WEAK SPOT?! Fantasia Oscura del Rahu!" Miho was going to start playing dirty. Extremely dirty. This was one of her more fucked up moves. The black energy flaring around Miho was now forming something behind her. A dragon. A black one with glowing yellow eyes. It stayed behind Miho like a creepy shadowy bodyguard. It was scanning the area and then it's eyes locked on to Rio. It was looking for something. Looking for Rio's worst fears and after a few seconds, it was sending that information to Miho. "....Fire? Dying a peaceful death...Frankly I'd hate the second one too...but Fire? Hn. I can work with that."[/i] She also had a bit of history with fire in the sense that it killed her parents and left her homeless. Tch. Nothing she couldn't get over though. Miho flicked her wrist and soon, a circle of fire would surround the Espada. It was an extremely intense fire. It flared high enough to reach his head. It was huge, blazing..being surrounded by it might drive him insane. She was recreating Rio's worst fears right before his very eyes.

"Hn. I didn't know such a big, strong Espada like yourself was afraid of a few embers...Hahahaha!"[/size]

Miho's Remaining Reiatsu: 900/3200

Orcus' Bane: 3/9

Ressurrection: 5/12

[Rio Demonliogalgo]

While Rio was feeling greater irritation from Orcus Bane, it was far from the worst he'd suffered, and he was currently ignoring it. Kill Miho. That was all it'd take to end.... whatever it was she was doing to him. Her Cero launched into his throat did have an effect. Though it was definately not what she'd have been hoping for. Because of Rio's tremendous size, the Cero's damage was minimal, despite the fact it had been launched right in his fucking mouth! Nonetheless, she was right. It triggered his gag reflex, and that particular head erupted in a hacking and coughing fit-- sending the noxious mist in his mouth propelling outwards in a billowing cloud, towards Miho. As for the few moments she would have spent in the mist, while it would not have been enough to dissolve her completely, all parts that had touched the mist would likely be bleeding heavily from the skin melting and dissolving away. Rio's mist acted much faster than Miho's Orcus' Bane (Captain Obvious AWAAAY!).

Rio's fangs tore into a snarl at her. "How long you think you can keep your act up? You're fatiguing fast. You think you can keep up with me much longer?" Then Miho yelled out some commentary about a weakspot. Pffft! As if! Many of the "apparent" weakspots given by Rio's tremendous quadrapedal form were hidden advantages. Her attack on his back, where most canines would not have been able to reach was evidence of that. The other common spot was below him, which presented its own hazaards, all for her to see if she cared to try it.

Rio opened all three of his mouths and fired Balla at Miho as she was in mid-speech. Of course, they needed no charge time, and were just as fast as normal Balla-- except they were also scaled to size, like his Cero, so each Balla was likely to be almost as large as Miho herself was! As such, it'd probably hurt quite a lot if she got hit by it. But her countermove of a dragon was.... both a genius choice, and a bad one. Had she been proving herself more powerful than Rio, the Espada would have flipped his lid and bolted.

As it was.... he still flipped out. Rio let out an alarmed howl from all three of his head. "You.... You fucking BITCH!" Ironic wording there, ne? Rio vanished in a sudden Sonido. Yep. He could still use Sonido, even in that gigantic form. So yeah. Technically, he still flipped out and bolted. But the difference was direction! He didn't bolt AWAY from the battle. No, this time, his Sonido was to carry him.... well. Right above Miho. If Miho didn't pick up on that and get out of the way FAST, she was about to have a 10 tonne Cerberus come crashing down on top of her.

Rio's eyes were flaring up as though literally on fire. His jaws frothed in a vicious snarl, heaving the mist from within them in all directions. His massive paws thrashed wildly, attempting to strike Miho, and crush her underfoot. Of course, if she got hit by the sword-length claws on the end of each paw that wouldn't go so well for her either. Even his tail was lashing about. And if Miho was unfortunate enough to get hit by it, she'd realize that that thing was actually incredibly hard, and could hit with a tremendous amount of force. It didn't need its fangs to kill you, clearly.

Fuckin' Orcus' Bane needs to fuckin' hurry up. This situation was getting kinda bad. Wearing revealing clothing sucked. Well, it did in this moment. Other times, she loved it cause she thought it made her look badass. Black leather all the way! But right now? No. Her entire stomach was exposed. Her hands were fine cause that was bone..but the exposed bits were bleeding..badly. Miho placed her saw back in the holster on her back. It was clear she wasn't going to stab anything. Not when he's that big. She'd grab her stomach. She was tempted to double over and scream...but she wouldn't. No, she had way too much pride for that. Tch. Orcus' bane's irritation should start kicking up more now. He might start to feel a little pain. Just a little...but it was confirmed that she might not last if she waited it out.

"How long you think you can keep your act up? You're fatiguing fast. You think you can keep up with me much longer?" Pft. Can she keep up? Can she keep UP?!!?! "Ha...I'm not resting till I see you dead." she grinned. She didn't care if it was convincing. She was going to fucking last. She had to. If he beat her...Oh hell....She didn't want to think about that! Too much was at stake here. The thought of this asshole bragging and picking on her almost scared her simply because he was the only one that could actually keep up with her insults and didn't break out into a crazy fit like a certain comrade of hers. She loved pissing off her comrades...keeping up with someone knowing she lost to them was an entirely different matter.

Now that the dragon was virtually useless, it can serve its secondary purpose, being an actual body guard. She'd send that further in front to take the hit from his bala. Done and done....Hahaha! He fuckin' FLIPPED! Miho: 1 Pansy: 0 ! "You.... You fucking BITCH!" If she could. She'd laugh. She considered stuff like that a compliment. "Oh my~...You're far too sweet~ I'm flattered" she emphasized the last part to spite him. Wait...did a DOG just call her a bitch? Uh....Whatever. She was truly flattered. If someone wasn't insulting her, it would be strange and it would irk her. Especially since there was nothing nice about her. Wha...he disappeared. Where'd he go?! Wait..She saw his shadow! Dumbass...Miho sonido'd high into the air, to avoid his little crash whatever mindless rampage he was throwing down there.

"I need to fuckin' end this...I can't keep bleeding out like this.." Okay...her final trick! "Tch. It's been fun...Infinita Obscura!" This was her most powerful attack...she definitely had to end this...or try to. This used everything Miho had. In the instant that she called out the name, an insane amount of black tentacles shot out at Rio. It would look like they were everywhere. Almost infinite...but there really wasn't that much. It just happened to look that way. The emotions put into this attack would be much stronger. Hatred. Grief. Agony. Despair...it was all there! Each one of the tentacles would wrap around Rio's heads, his tail and his torso. The trick to this attack was that the slightest touch would have him screaming in pain...he would feel like he was being set on fire, or being skinned alive. It could burn him alive. Yikes. He'd feel immense pain. Almost enough to maybe immobilize him. But this was a big dog...so she wasn't sure herself. At the same time, Miho was going to slowly rot. She had to finish this now! If she wasn't bleeding, she'd drag it out longer...but she was and she didn't want to die so..yeah. Bye bye puppy.

Hmph. Into the air? She certainly seemed to like moving to the air. Natural, he supposed. It probably hadn't occurred to her that Rio could fight in the air just as well. He just liked the ground a bit more. Orcus Bane was starting to hurt, but Rio was still managing to ignore it. Short of lopping off an arm, Rio could probably ignore most injuries Miho could inflict. 'Course against such an attack, an arm would be a meagre price to pay, wouldn't it? Anyways, onto the attack!

Rio started charging a Cero again, when he saw Miho's response. Tentacles? The serpent head on his tail laughed, a hissing cackle. "Tentacles now? You didn't sssseem the type." It mocked. As Miho's tentacles lashed towards Rio, the massive beast used another Sonido to evade them, vanishing with the sound of static. Whereto this time? A blindspot. Not above or below, no. Rio intended to finish his Sonido right behind Miho, where he would instantly release the three charged Cero at point blank range. Yet another method the Espada used to cut down on his apparent speed weakness. There would be little warning for Miho. One moment the Sexta would be in front of and below her, the next instant, three Cero, each considerably larger than Miho herself, would be blasting at her back at point blank range. Even with Miho's considerable speed, and skill at Sonido, evasion would be..... unlikely, to say the least. And these were Cero from an Espada in his ressurection. Getting blasted was likely going to REALLY hurt, even if their reiatsu was similar.

Oh you can't be fucking serious...Miho was currently in the air...and she began to beat her wing faster. It was almost as if it was too tired to keep her afloat. She looked down at her stomach. Fuck. If only there was something she could use to temporarily stop the bleeding. Orcus' bane should be or was well over the halfway point which means the real pain should start now. An sharp pain. Like his insides and skins were being with stabbed at or something. "Tentacles now? You didn't sssseem the type." Miho blinked. "Tch. Since when are things what they seem, idiot?" she retorted. Okay...she needed to do something. Something....Wait...is that reiatsu building up. He was below her...but she could feel it. He wasn't that far away from her. He wouldn't seriously try anything from down there...would he? Aw hell...Was it another one of his shitty ceros? Aw...C'MON. She can sense that shit you know! He wasn't miles away! Hm. He could use sonido....she knew that much. Would he try that again? He used it the last time. Hm. Maybe not. Hey, he couldn't fire Cero while she was on his back. That would be shooting himself and therefore stupid. He'd look really stupid if he fired a Cero at himself...and she'd make fun of him for it too. Sounds good~ Miho couldn't stay in the air. It was too much for her at this point. Well, for now at least. If she just had a moment's rest, she could bounce back.

At the same time, she didn't want to be on the ground. That was his forte after all. She couldn't risk giving him another advantage. One being his mist that had already infected her....Agh..She had to do something. She had something crazy in mind...She figured that if she landed on his back, she could hold on and kill him with her tentacles. She was seriously going to go for that. Miho instantly closed her wing and began to free fall, hoping to land on his back and finally finish this crap off. Seeing as she was free falling and she was kinda on the small side, she'd fall at a pretty fast rate. She blinked once and he was gone. ...Behind Like...that was the most obvious fuckin' spot. Everyone attacks from behind. It was Miho's personal favorite. She pulled it off whenever she could. She was already falling out of range from his cero, but that wouldn't be enough so Miho sonido'd underneath him. and faced the tail...for good measure. Dumb dog...he fucked up her master plan. Okay. Change in plan! Miho shot her tentacles at each one of his paw. That had to do something. It was a spiderman-esque move where the tentacles were her spider-string and she was just hanging there like Spider-Man...er..woman! The touch from her tentacles would no doubt put Rio in serious pain and start to burn him.

"Ya know, puppy dog, you're not so great at this killing thing.."

Rio noticed Miho dodge down below him. In response, he simply let himself fall down towards her. If he fell on Miho.... that wouldn't be good. Except, likely to Miho's amusement, he was at the wrong angle to do so! If he landed as he was, she'd land between his legs, and be more or less safe. Right? Well, not so right, as she would see shortly. Her tentacles bound Rio's and the Espada let out a furious howl. Fuck! That really hurt! Rio bit back his pain though and focused on landing properly.

As had been predicted, if Miho even remained where she was, and just fell back with Rio, Rio would miss her. Hell, she'd be in greater danger if she actually moved to avoid it (as Rio would take a quick swipe at her as she moved out). Well.... not entirely. Because as Rio landed, he performed one of the other new moves his Ressurection permitted him. Not even much of a new move. Simply a new form. Miho was familiar with the Espada's shockwaves, right?

As Rio landed, a shockwave would blast out in a circular radius from each of his four limbs. These were much more impressive than in his sealed state, and could reach a range of close to 100 meters in all directions! They were also reasonably high, so if Miho thought she could avoid them by staying above the ground, she'd be sorely mistaken. But that wouldn't be her biggest problem. If she had stayed underneath Rio, she'd be in huge danger, as she'd be right at the converging point of the four shockwaves. Rio's legs were lowered as well. A.k.a. if she'd stayed underneath the Espada to continue her attack there would be nowhere to run, and she would be about to feel what it was like to have four freighttrains ram into you simultaneously from all sides.

And just as a precaution, in case she found some way out of the attack, Rio began his Plague Winds technique, letting tremendous amounts of the mist within his jaws to billow forth. Oh what an unpleasant situation Miho would be in. If she got out from under Rio, she'd come face to face with a LOT more of that mist than before. If she stayed where she was.... well..... ouch.

Miho let out a cruel, taunting laugh as she heard Rio's howl. "So, puppy dog...How's it feel?! Does it hurt like a bitch? Hahahaha!" she taunted. Fucking yes! He's in pain!...and soon, he was going to be dead dog and howling in pain right up until the very end. There's only so much one can bite back. With Orcus' Bane in full swing, it was only a matter of time before he'd starting whining and whimpering. Speaking of Orcus' Bane, that pain should be getting a lot worse...but she wasn't going to last until the end. That's for sure. He was formidable...which really sucked for her because chances were that he'd last longer and that was no good. She had to kill him. Now.

As she hung on to his paws, she'd notice that they were falling. If she dies from him crushing her, she'd never forgive herself. There is nothing more embarrassing than dying from being sat on by a giant dog. She shuddered at the thought of it. Last time she died, it was a tie with her opponent sending his blade through her heart and her blade through his. That's how you die. But this?..No! Not happening! She won't allow it. She quickly released 3 of his paws from her tentacles. She kept one on his back paw. As they fell, Miho would use that one tentacle like Spiderman...woman!...and use it swing her way onto his back. She was aware that he'd have the advantage once she was on the ground. It's why she avoided it in the first place. Alas, her wing was tired and keeping herself on the air-ground thing was tough right now...So the next best option was his back.

She felt the impact of the landing and used her tentacles once more. She sent a couple to wrap around each one of his necks and some to wrap around his tail so that thing wouldn't attack. She'd hang of for dear life after that. For .00000000001 of a second, she vaguely thought that this was like one of those rodeo contests you see on TV. Tch. Well, she had tentacles. So this was cooler! She could see the mist from the front. "...You can't be fucking serious." she hissed. She was breathing heavily. Miho was so close to death, she could practically taste it. But she wasn't going to give in yet. No! Not yet! Not until she saw his face twisted in pain! Not until she saw him dead! She was close to winning this! She knew it! She had to stick around to see it! She wanted to see dead puppy!

[Rio Demonliogalgo]

As Rio fell to the ground, he felt some of the pain in his limbs dissapate as Miho tried to swing her way onto his back. It might have worked too! If not for one small thing. His serpent head had been turned to keep an eye on Miho's progress, to ensure she didn't try anything sneaky. Kind of like what she was trying now. Got you this time, you trash! She was midswing, and she was vulnerable now. Now, she may have thought swinging off the back leg would protect her. Sadly, this wasn't the case.

Remember how Rio had said he had no blindspots? Behind him was no exception. His serpent tail couldn't bite at her there. It could try, but it would have to wind itself in such a manner that it would be horribly awkward and short ranged to do so. But it didn't have to. Its scales were like steel, and with its mass, simply colliding with it would hurt. Which was Rio's idea. Miho wouldn't make it to his back that easily. Rio's tail whipped back on a crash course with Miho with stunning force. And again, using little tricks to shorten Miho's reaction time to almost zero, the tail would be whipping the exact opposite of the direction she was coming.

Miho was en route for a midair collision with Rio's tail, but that wasn't all. Immediately following his tail strike, Rio whipped around. Yeah. He was in a shitload of pain, and his fangs were bared in a furious snarl. But pain alone wasn't going to finish him. Not JUST yet. Whipping his body around, he lifted his paw as if to add an additional smashing blow to the Fraccion-- shortly before his three jaws snapped open and launched three massive Balla at her again, without warning, launching them in a triangular spread, leaving a little space between each one. Not enough to completely squeeze through, but enough that one might think they could at a glance. Why? So that if Miho tried to evade one of the Balla, she'd end up crashing headlong into another one. There were a lot of large, and fairly quick attacks hurtling at Miho now. And she'd been in midmotion at the time of some of their execution. Rio doubted she'd be able to completely avoid all of it.
