Angel panted, summoning another wingblade. Solana stood behind her, the two back to back, each of them facing a deadly opponent. Timekeeper and this hooded man stood by. People quickly ran by the two. Solana and Angel both stood in silence before lunging individually towards their own target; Angel to Timekeeper and Solana to the hooded man. Angel took her blade, slashing away at Timekeeper, the man quickly dodging her attacks. Angered and feeling vengeful she recklessly hacked away, but she was unable to get a hit in.
"YOU MONSTER!" she shouted, continuously attacking him, cutting up chairs and tables in the process.
"Too fast...something's up!" she thought again.
Jumping back and creating a translucent sky-blue bow, she shot at him a multitude of times. Unable to dodge the arrows, the arrows pierced their target, but this was redundant. Timekeeper's neck distorted as the arrows passed through him. She didn't understand what was happening but dismissed this. He lunged to her quickly, and she adjusted her weight to the right, planning to gain distance from the man.
That plan crumbled quickly as he grabbed Angel by her neck, turning around and smashing her to the ground. The bow dissipated, the weapon now useless at this range. Angel had trouble breathing, the girl seeing Timekeeper with his sword quickly extending itself from his cloak's arm. Angel created wingblades to attack, the weapons appearing midair and all of them having the same effect; the blades passed through his body, then dissipated. He quickly impaled Angel in her stomach, the girl screaming.
Timekeeper's mask slowly faded, the cloak shifting color as though it were ash flying from a fire. It turned out to be a white cloak rather than a black one, parts of it ripped up, two small white circles forming in the endless void of darkness in the man's hood.
"For Asura..." he spoke sluggishly and slowly.
He pulled the blade from her stomach, blood spilling. He was about to cut her down. Quickly, a small black and gold combat knife was thrown, shattering the hooded man's sword. The being looked to its left, seeing Solana standing, panting hard and walking over to the two, some black liquid on her hands and some on her clothes.
"...How...?" he spoke.
The girl threw another combat knife, this one going through his head. He tried to catch it, the weapon slipping through his fingers. He said nothing, but tightened his grip on Angel's neck, a black smoke coming from his cloak. The smoke flew around the two, and Solana ran towards him and tackled the hooded man. The two recovered quickly, sliding across the floor to the right of Angel, not taking their eyes off each other. There was a pause, the two suddenly at each other's throats. Solana sent kicks his way, the girl's body passing through his like smoke.
"Tch." she uttered.
Pulling another knife and spinning her body, the knife cutting the man. Black blood spilled to the ground. He looked up, excessive black smoke coming from his body. He then came to see her as a threat, the man dissipating from sight. Solana caught her breath for a short moment, looking around and seeing blood droplets fly in the air. The black blood trailed like a half circle around the girl.
Cutting him again, he began moving faster and she did so herself. Her body glowed gold, the two moving quickly, a blur of black and gold was seen. At least, this was through Angel's perspective. Really, Angel couldn't really process much now. She was having difficulty breathing and even standing. It was like the world was spinning around her. Not to mention she was also bleeding from her wound.
"Not again, not now...please!" Angel thought to herself.
This heavy feeling, like a thousand pounds were on her body.
