Elvena Stein
Elvy simply nodded to his words, any hint of surprise that would show when he declined her offer to carry him was nonexistent. The steps leading up to the castle were cracked and old as if it had once been a very high traffic area. Now, well now it was desolate and seemingly void of any inhabitants. It was so quiet in fact that she felt like her own thoughts were louder than the silence around them. She shivered faintly, crimson eyes peering about as she stopped before the door. A gloved hand reached out, the sound of creaking filling the air as it swung inwards. Her soul perception was quickly activated, gaze flickering from each visible hallway and rising to stare up at the massive ceiling that she felt could swallow them whole. It was dark, it was eerie, it was Elvy’s kind of place. She sighed happily and began to skip forward, steps dance-like as she held her arms out like one mimicking an airplane.
“ Say Takeshi? You think this autonomous weapon will show his face or should we get his attention? “ Elvy tilted her head, fun ideas bouncing around in her head as she swiveled to face her partner. “ What kind of name is Carn-Evil anyways? “ She thought aloud, a finger pressing against her lips in contemplation before she let out a chiming laugh. Clearly she was highly amused by the terrible code name or actual name this target of theirs had. The castle was quite tremendous and frankly she didn’t feel like walking through the entire thing and searching every nook and cranny. Thankfully she didn’t have to put forth the effort to locate him as the sound of footsteps approaching started to echo around them, resonating from above before she saw his lanky figure standing atop the grand stairs. His hand was placed upon the railing, a rather crazed lord like stature as he stared down at them. Elvy knew the look that she caught in his eyes, it was blood-lust, but not the normal kind. It was cannibalistic.
The Stein grinned wide and naturally slid her feet into a more attack like stance but a casual air remained around her. “ We’re from the DWMA, if you hadn’t guessed. You’ve got something we want. You could just tell me what I need to know but we can also dance if you’d like. “ Elvy’s eyes narrowed a bit, that same grin plastered on her face as she leaned more towards the carnage that could be had. These weren’t other students, this was evil, this was someone that she could go all out on. “ My dear, you’ve come into my home like a little lost sheep just waiting to be slaughtered. However you have demands from me? I do enjoy playing with my food. Meat tastes best when it’s riddled with fear. “ He bellowed down to answer her words, eyes glazing over as he fluidly jumped over the railing and landed right in front of her. She could feel his hot disgusting breath against her porcelain skin, nose scrunching up in response as the stench was almost unbearable.
“ You smell delicious but… why do I sense no fear? Not even a hint? Oh you’re a corrupted meager thing, aren’t you? “ He commented on her black blood, raising a hand towards her face as if intrigued. “ I can’t wait to get a bite. “ Her only response was to stare him straight in his psychotic eyes and slap his hand off to the side, lips starting to quiver as a smile spread even further. “ I can’t wait to skewer you alive and watch the life drain from your eyes. “ Her voice was hushed, making one have to really listen if they wanted to catch the words escaping her lips. “ I wasn’t aware you were delusional too. Is that a side effect of your condition? And who is the scrumptious looking friend you brought? I guess he is going to be dessert. My favorite part of the meal. How exquisite! “
Takeshi Mifune
Takeshi had no strong feelings towards their surroundings, finding that the castle that they got closer and closer to had its own unique kind of charm, but never would it be something that he would actively seek out, though to be fair there were few things that Takeshi would seek out by himself. The quiet of the surrounding area was nice though, being able to hear every little thing, and with the large amount of nature surrounding this place, this castle could have a potentially very natural feel to it. Maybe if he found a way to the top of the castle he could watch a sunrise or a sunset and just enjoy the breeze against his skin, that would be nice. His musings were cut off when Elvena began skipping around and addressing him, carefree as ever about the potential danger that they were supposed to face. Not that he really minded, he could also care less about whatever schmuck they were supposed to hunt down, cannibal weapon or otherwise.
Humming to himself in response to her question, Takeshi did spare a single moment to wonder about the potential actions of their soon-to-be victim, but ultimately pushed that idea to the side. “ I’m more worried about him runnin’ off than finding him. ” Following his statement with a shrug, Takeshi began scanning their surroundings lazily, his lethargic gait barely making a sound even in the quiet surroundings. “ ‘Sides, we shouldn’t have too much trouble with a guy that wanted a circus theme and evil combined to be his name. ” Just as he finished his statement, did Takeshi then notice their target approaching them from the sound of the footsteps. Eyeing him up and down, Takeshi found this supposed dangerous madman wholly disappointing in so many ways. He seemed over the top, overdramatic, overcompensating, and probably just plain unskilled. His only saving grace quite literally seemed to be the fact that he was a weapon and had a modicum of talent in fighting alone, or at least that’s what Takeshi was able to glean from just a glance.
Silently, striding to stand next to Elvena as she and the target had their little back and forth, Takeshi could only point to himself and raise an eyebrow in surprise when he was called dessert. He didn’t know if he was to be offended that this pompous man thought himself capable of taking him on, let alone both him and Elvena, or appreciate the fact that he was the finishing touch to a meal. Still, this mad dog was barking way too much, which in turn meant that he was losing out on precious sleep time and that was completely unacceptable. So, with a sigh, Takeshi put an arm on Elvena’s shoulder as if to use her as an armrest, and held up his other hand with five fingers, ticking them down as he addressed the other weapon. “ Here’s the rules so you stop wasting our time. One, sniff us again, lose your nose. Two, say stupid shit, lose your teeth. Three, touch us, lose that hand. Four, you have three minutes to spill before I turn you into a nugget. Five, the timer started a minute ago. ” This was, of course, all said with a completely deadpan and done-with-the-world expression, and from Takeshi’s tone of voice, he was completely serious about his threats towards the target’s wellbeing.
Elvena Stein
The sudden feeling of Takeshi’s arm on her shoulder made her peer over at him, gaze watching his hand rise. She customarily lifted her own hand and counted down with him, nodding the entire time in agreeance with the rules stated by her partner. “ Insolence will be your downfall. “ She heard the man known as Carn-Evil say, a weird change in his soul being caught by Elvena’s soul perception. Where he was once calm and actually nonchalant, toying with them, there was now rage and pure irritation. His entire arm was thrown back, changing into the blade of a chainsaw. He’s fast… Elvy noted, his transformation almost instantaneous before she caught on to his intended target with the now whirring blade. There was no hesitation as the Stein flashed in front of Takeshi, arms wrapping around his entire frame as the edges of the weapon tore into her back, shredding her top and starting to dig deep into her skin. Her eyes forcefully shut, wincing only momentarily as her blood began to coat the area around them, running down her skin like a rampant rainstorm and bursting outwards. The newest sound was turned from flesh being torn into his blade clashing with cement, no longer cutting but being met with resistance.
She bit down hard on her lip, oomfing as she forced the two of them down onto the ground, her lithe frame entirely on top of Takeshi’s now as she released him and placed her hands on either side, trying not to force all of her weight upon him. The bleeding had stopped, her blood hardened once again as the wound began to heal itself, the only indication it had even been there being the blood still splattered along her skin. The black clashed with the pale nature of it, but instead of being upset by the events she was thrilled. One would assume it had been done purposefully by the look of glee on her face. Those ruby eyes fell down onto Takeshi’s face, meeting his golden ones for a few moments seemingly lost in them before she threw a hand out and the blood around them started to change in shape. Carn-Evil took a few steps back, ceasing his attack as a series of needles started to jab out from the ground. A few of them pierced his limbs and he cursed under his breath, starting to hop backwards and trying to put some distance between himself and the two on the ground. They were in such a vulnerable spot but he knew there was no chance of approaching them while the girl was trying to literally play on her previous words and skewer him.
Elvena rose from the ground, completely uncaring of the fact that her entire back was exposed. She held out both of her hands, chest starting to rise and fall as she laughed loudly, grayish hair dancing around her frame as she began to walk towards their target. “ Let’s play! “ Her voice had turned sinister, movements now slightly more erratic as she flashed from her current position and stopped in front of the man. Long spider-like legs formed from the blood on her back, flashing outwards as she pinned him into the nearest wall, the points impaling different parts of his skin and binding him there.
“ Right where I want you. “ He sneered, tongue lazily pushing past his now parted lips as saliva dripped down along his chin, his strength overpowering hers as he fought against the restraints to sink his teeth into her shoulder. The weapons Elvy was utilizing retraced and she struggled to rip herself free from the man’s grasp, the chainsaw that was once his arm now a human arm again as he grasped her even tighter despite her protests. She struck him again and again with her bloody needles to no avail, the attacks becoming faster and more frequent “ Get off me you freak! “ She screamed out, mania starting to set in out of sheer frustration as he refused to let go.
Takeshi Mifune
Takeshi was ready for a lot of different things to happen the moment he saw their target’s muscles tense to lunge at them, or more specifically - him. He was ready to transform for Elvena the moment she made any indication towards grabbing him. He was ready for both of them to dodge away from the man and then retaliate. Hell, he was even ready to draw his sword and clash with this fool. He was not ready, however, for Elvena to throw herself on top of him as a human shield. Gazing questionably back into her eyes, Takeshi ignored the sound of viciously ripping flesh and black blood splashing every which way. Soon, the gruesome sounds changed into that of metal hitting a hard substance, and Takeshi watched as the blood around them turned to needles and began targeting their attacker, who rapidly moved away. Keeping his eyes on Elvena, he watched as she got up and formed what looked like spider legs from the blood on her back.
Pushing himself up onto his feet from the impromptu tackle done against him by Elvena, Takeshi watched the fight between the two warily, wondering if his partner had this under control, or if he’d actually have to put in some effort to deal with this growing annoyance. The moment that Elvena had pinned the opponent to the wall, Takeshi let a small huff of relief out, immensely glad that it seemed he would get to go to sleep a lot sooner than expected. That relief, however, evaporated the second Elvena started to get overpowered by the cannibalistic weapon, disbelief coloring his gaze when she was bitten. That disbelief began to slowly bubble into an even greater annoyance, peaking as he watched his partner’s futile struggle against the grip of her captor, her spider-like blood limbs long gone. The second she began screaming near maniacally, Takeshi knew that she absolutely did not have this under control, and more importantly, he was going to actually put in real effort.
Eyes narrowing partly in concentration and partly in sheer annoyance, Takeshi put one hand on the hilt of his sword, and called out to the two. “ Three rules. Broken. My time. Wasted. ” As he finished his statement, Takeshi burst forward, appearing by their side in moments, sword already drawn and swinging towards one of the arms holding Elvena captive.
Carn-Evil’s eyes flickered over to the boy who suddenly appeared, his steel locked grip on the girl being lessened as one of his arms turned back into a chainsaw. It acted to block the sword aiming to sever his arm but it was dishearteningly enough to allow the gray haired meister to free herself of his hold. “ Two on one hardly seems fair. “ He stated grimly, figure slipping away into the darkness as he disappeared down a corridor of the castle. His mind reeled into an endless amount of possibilities as he mentally visualized his next route to attack, wanting to surprise them this time. It was clear the head on tactic was not going to work on his meal this time, he was going to have to be smarter and more patient.
