Her ears.... There was no sound at all? Did her ears pop? If that was the case then it was going to annoy her to no end. Kinda like having that bulb of water in your ear that can go away after a few smacks to the head, or by tilting it sideways, that kind of annoyance. UUggghhh, what a pain it was going to be to get rid of. But that was the thing, even after her huffing and puffing it didn't go away. Maybe she was breathing wrong. Another go at it and still nothing. All that was there was the constant pitched ringing sound. The kind in which someone yells or puts a blow horn beside your ear for no good reason but to startle you awake when you were napping. Yeah, that kinda of annoying ringing vibe. After a few quickies nothing did the trick, that ringing was still there. And oh yeah, she found herself tied up. Bondage play?
The Sternritter was caught in her own net? When did that happen? Hell, what was what anymore in such a crazy world. That was correct. The world itself was crazy. Shinigami, Hollows, Vampire Soliders, and apparently talking dolls, well call her a monkey's uncle. Well anything was possible in this world, so why not being paralyzed for some time and tied down by her own net? The world was a funny and a insane place to live. She knew that all too well. When trying to reason with logic it would all back fire and she'd be the one getting hurt. When ever she piece together a means to solve a puzzle, the result ended with utter despair. It didn't matter which way she set herself on because in the end it didn't even matter. All roads led to one insufferable truth. The world was crazy. And for those who thought otherwise were just as insane as the world. The only one who really understood the truth of the world was Alicia.
That was what she accepted. She gave herself to death many times over, only to be kept alive at the end of it all. She gave in to the pain, having its influence tear her heart, mind, and body over and over again. It tore through her as if colliding with that of a tsunami to the point that she didn't feel anything any more. In her eyes the world and everything in it had rejected her. Perhaps that was the reason why she didn't feel anything. The numbness in her body was no different. Laying down coiled in her own technique didn't change anything. It was what she always felt, trapped. Only by doing what she does was what allowed her to be free. No rules, acting on impulse, lying or speaking truth, it didn't matter. If she did too much then she would be resented. If she did too little, then she would be denied. One way or the other acceptance by the world and those in it would only lead to further misery. Thus, she did everything to please herself. She wasn't the one that was crazy, it was the world. And that's why....
The kick came in, and it struck. The immense pressure that came with it felt similar to having the world being dropped upon her. She could feel the quaking bones on a single side of her ribs being shattered. The others that weren't in contact with the Captain's foot were shaken up by the joints and other fragments. Truly, this was the strength of a Captain of the Gotei 13. The damage done to the area itself reflected the said strength, leaving the Sternritter at its ground zero. Nothing but a body and broken Earth would remain. That, and the large stain of blood that was splattered across the Captain's body. And it dripped. Its red shade was undeniable. Covering the woman's face and small patches, with her leg being spotted from the sole and heel to the upper section of her ribs. Sections of Kimiko's right arm would be stained by the Quincy's blood as well. Even the Captain's Haori would lose its natural purity in the vast redness of the young girl's blood. The deed was done. Which was why when the cloud of dust settled, victory was Alicia's.
The Earth below wrestled by the soft dreary steps of the Quincy. Shuffling more like it to be exact. Every inch to climb back to one's own feet prove to be daunting, a chore one after the other. She could feel the muscles in her legs tremble, for which reason being that her left leg was being dragged. Dislocated by the shock of the Captain's blow. Every inch gained felt like a mile, each grueling mile teased with sheer ecstasy and adrenaline. The pain, the pain was what kept her mind racing. She loved it, each and every moment of it. Every step caused her pelvis to scream with agony. Her knees buckled until the left caved into the forced weight that the girl placed on it. The was most definitely hanging on by the utter enjoyment that the Captain so willingly gave to her. She will return the favor.
Only after limping past the settling dust did she appear in full form. Ooze of red dripping away from her body. Foot long talons drizzling down a steady stream of the same red that stained the Captain. Legs consumed in the thick red layer of organic reiatsu, with a mouth cackling a toothy grin. She was cackling? Alicia was a complete and utter mess, and she was laughing. "THIS IS SO MUCH FFUNN!" she cried out. Her exposed stomach huffed and puffed in and out, pushing her lungs to do it work as she cringed with every word she managed to spell out. "LET'S PLAY SOME MMMOORREEE!" Her eyes, like daggers, keen on the Captain as it took less than a moment to even whip up the necessary reiatsu.
"H-How, how the hell is she still standing?" a single Shinigami uttered. Alicia triggered her release, Blood Fountain. With a paralyzed body and every nerve ending being shot, the only thing that she was capable of actually doing was thinking. Upon the realization that her body had been immobilized, and learning what the Captain more suited to it was an easy guess. This guess was immediately reinforced by the howling screech that engulfed her hearing before that annoying ringing noise came into her senses. Among those that she encountered before, the Sternritters, she to assess possible strengths and weaknesses. Especially with her level of Energy Sensory, she could already narrow down what the Captain was probably best at, and while in the state of shock there was only one possible outcome for the girl to even survive. Thus, she limited her mental responses to trigger her defenses. A single thought was much quicker than that of the human reflex, and although her body wouldn't be able to keep up with the Shinigami Captain, her mind was more than able to do so. (-400 Class 2 Property, -200 Freak Type)
Blood Fountain caused the woman's reiatsu to envelope her body as the Captain came into sight. It's activation caused the woman's reiatsu to cover her body in shell of armor that acted as a second skin. However, unlike other forms of armor it was made entirely of reiatsu that had been fused with a small portion of the woman's blood, thus replicating her DNA into it. With that said, what it diddn't do was increase the woman's overall blood capacity or replace it, nope. All it did was guard her from oncoming blows, and should the blow manage to break through her shell, the section that was compromised would explode immediately upon impact with the Sternritter's artificial blood. Thus Kimiko's newly stained appearance. However, that alone wouldn't allowed the woman to survive. Blut had to be used. A third piece of armor was used to keep her body together.
While the hit itself would down right destroy the targeted surface, Blut was primarily used to not only shield the struck section, but to keep her body from being torn apart by the impact's force. Sad to say that the amount of damage from the howl shook Alicia up too much to really focus in on that task, there was just too much to do with the little time she had. Nevertheless, much of her body was protected aside from her pulverized rib cage. Now that was what sucked, as the result leaving the girl nearly broken with just a single shot from the Captain. But it was worth it as the Sternritter didn't once drop her guard against a Shinigami that was ranked as a Captain. But now was the time for her to strike back. Upon her climb up the muscle induced crater, Blut was dropped. Having no need for it, there wasn't really a use for it for the time being as the girl moved onto the offensive. (-300 Blut Vein)
What happened occurred less than a fraction of a second as it was done based on the girl's thoughts. The sole reason why Alicia had been officially named "O", The Obsessed, her strongest release, Lover's Hand. Behind the Captain, a chorus of death filled the air. Her Shinigami companions were being slain by a hand in which none of them saw coming. The same hand that Kimiko herself wouldn't be able to avoid as pillars of spikes erupt through the sole of the woman's foot and upper thigh. The upper areas of her hip would be skewered by the numerous of spikes, exactly similar to those that would pierce through her dominant leg. What would cause such a thing to happen? How would a Captain be struck without seeing it coming at her? The key word was blood. (-500 + -250 Class 1 Release, Freak Type)
The blood that stained her body and uniform was the key to it. No, it was the blood overall that did such a thing to her and her comrades. With her final release activated, Alicia was capable of manipulating the blood that was within her sights up to a 40 foot radius of herself. And by using the iron compound within the blood, Alicia hardened the cells and directed it as spikes that would penetrate through the muscles of the Shinigami. And although Kimiko had a superior offensive strength than the Sternritter, it wouldn't matter if she didn't see it coming to be able to flex in time to do so. To add on, should the Shinigami flex she wouldn't be able to move as quickly as she would, as a single moment would allow the spikes to make their way through her muscles to maim her capabilities.
Yet that wouldn't be the only reason why the blood would be able to maim the woman. The reason that Blut Vein was no longer needed was due to the use of Blut Arterie. This in term doubled the Sternritter's spiritual capabilities, pushing them well beyond that of the Shinigami's ability to resist, and despite the Captain having trained instincts, it would still require some knowledge of the Sternritter prior to engagement to be able to foretell what Alicia would have been planning. Not only that, but the hordes of spikes that would course through the woman's entire leg and hip would have been long enough to stake the ground. Yes, that meant pinning to the floor and keeping her from moving as light began to fuel the woman even more reiatsu, slowly pouring into the palm of her Cross and Spirit Fragment. But the Captain's words, they held no weight, as Alicia had already been reduced to nothing. No moral, no ego, just a sense of chaos that Kimiko helped to unless. This was Alicia, Sternritter "O", the Obsessed. (-500 Blut Arterie)
