Anemoia Echoes

The Sleeping Princess (36)

Consta and Shaman were teleported away from everyone else and fell into an unknown area. It was pitch black but the only thing seen was a glowing circle around them. Consta fell onto the ground with heavy impact. Consta felt the pain upon landing on the ground. "Ouch! That really hurts- Phhsss-ahh" Consta felt a heavy person land on top of them.

Shaman landed on top of Consta. "That was quite the soft landing" She Sat on top of Consta as she looks down at Consta who was below her. "Where are we?"

Consta yelled at Shaman. "Get off of me at least!" Consta knocked Shaman off their back and stood up. Consta stood up and looked around and notice there was a sleepy Aikasuyuri.

Shaman got off her butt as she too look at Aikasuyuri was drowsy and tired as she seem to be leaning on a red transparent hologram of a sphere. 

The sleepy Aikasuyuri lazily looked at them as she was watching them then spoke. "I'm tired of doing anything but I must do it." She rub her eyes and stood up. "For I, Aikasuyuri of the Horizon...too sleepy." She grin all of a sudden as the music began. 

Shaman pushed Consta out of the way. "Move out of the way now" Shaman ducked out of the way, as the bullet flew past Shaman and Consta which nearly took them out. 

Consta watches Aikasuyuri. "What the hell!? I didn't even see that." 

The sleepy Aikasuyuri slowly approached both Consta and Shaman. She was firing bullets at them while the music started up. With each step, the sleepy Aikasuyuri was changing the fight music of the world into a different tempo. As the bullet flew at both Consta and Shaman the bullet would slow down or speed up depending on the tempo of the music played at.

Consta realized that the bullet was going so fast that if they weren't fast enough to react to it before it sped up, it would smash straight through them. Consta quickly got up with Shaman to get ready for facing the raid. 

Shaman recognizes the music of the world but it seems different from what she could possibly remember. "The music seems different from what I remember but I know this song that is being played." Shaman dodges the bullet that is fired over her head. 

Consta looked at Shaman. "Well, I don't know what you mean since I didn't personally complete this raid myself compare to you and Dartz." She kept focusing on the fight.

All of a sudden a wall appeared between Consta and Shaman to separate them from each other. Then Shaman quickly replies to Consta. "It is still Nerifu District's music." 

Consta seem confused by Shaman's perplexity about the Nerifu District's music but it didn't matter since Consta was occupied with facing Aikasuyuri's attack. Consta kept trying to dodge the bullets but as the fight proceed, it was quickly being clear that Consta wasn't being able to catch up with Shaman's skills and the increasing difficulty. The fight had split the two conquerors apart from each other and it circled around the sleepy Aikasuyuri. Then a solid transparent reddish-orange triangle appeared out of thin air near their feet. It rotated around in a circle at a random speed but Consta upon jumping misjudged the speed of the rotating object and it cleanly cut straight through the feet of Consta. Consta fell onto the floor hard Consta can't land on their feet as she scream in pain. "F#*K!!!..." She felt a pain she had never felt before, it wasn't like before when she had taken damage before, it was extremely painful that she couldn't move her body like before despite it only hitting her feet. The pain struck her entire body as she was struck by a truck even though the only meaningful damage was to her feet. Without a single missed of a beat, Consta's head was blown apart and her flesh was spread all over the floor. 

Shaman watches Consta die before her, and she grasps at the death of Consta losing a moment of focus which let her guard down. Then all of sudden she felt a sensation of burning and pain on her left shoulder. She suddenly turn to look at her missing arm before the quick and sudden shocks and pain ran throughout her body. "Ahhh!" She grips the open hole in her missing arm. She fell on her knee despite being in a raid. "uhh..help..me" The situation of the raid began to settle on her mind once more. "No..." A wall of orange swipe her out of existence and left nothing left of her besides the splattered blood on the floor before they too were wiped clean by the rest of the raid.
