"God fucking damn it son of a bitch whore piss and shit holy fuck what in the shitting hell-" Aidan screamed as a flash of light rippled throughout the sky. Two gods ripped through space above him. Dashing around faster than light, a trail of white following her, Angelina slashed at Nicole. Though, her movements slowed down, halting almost right before touching Nicole's neck. The tall woman raised her hand before the pale lady, a purple glow echoing down her arm. A quick violet pulse passed through the air around her wrist, and Angelina went soaring away, tumbling through the air. Grabbing onto the sky itself, she corrected her flight and flung herself back at Nicole.

"What the hell?" Aidan muttered out looking above him.

"That's how Nicole fights." Krystal answered, placing her hand on Aidan's right arm. "She has this field around her that stops all movement. The field even works on teleportation, it's crazy."

Aidan sat in silence as he watched the two fight. His amber eyes darted around, taking mental notes of their fighting styles. As light clashed with space itself. The pale lady dashed forwards, an array of flaring lights following behind her. She flipped over Nicole as the lights exploded around them, blinding Nicole. Slashing downwards, Angelina's blade was met by a dark mass being held up by Nicole's psychic might.

"There it is!" Angelina called out as the mass pushed back against her and began to engulf the light around the two of them. Bringing down her blade again, she sliced through the mass. As it fell in twain, it exploded, warping the world around it. Nicole brought out her hand once again, grabbing Angelina with her mind. The pale lady's body was crushed under this immense weight. As she crushed Angelina, Nicole flung her through the planet, through the sky, through the moon, through the entire solar system.

Raving light blasted around the sun as the pale lady was through it several times. In a blink, she was right back in Nicole's face, seemingly unaffected by Nicole's attack. She pierced through Nicole's defense, and slashed her neck. A wispy black essence escaped the tall woman's wound as she retaliated with another black mass, striking Angelina on her cheek. Her face warped and tore as she was sent hurtling through the broken sky yet again.

"What the?!" Aidan sat in confusion as his body was being healed, leaving only the wound on his cheek left.

"That's why she's so dangerous, kid." Krystal placed her hand on Aidan's face. "The only thing that gets through Nicole's field is light, and the Pale Lady is light. She's been Nicole's biggest weakness for a long time now, but don't worry too much. They've fought more times than I can remember."

"Her throat was slit!"

"Yeah, damage like that doesn't matter too much to people like them." Krystal sighed. "Kinda makes me pointless."

Nicole's wound began to close, her flesh contorting to fix itself. Halting her flight again, the pale lady turned to face Nicole. Her face ripped apart, the left side ripped off and revealed the muscle and bone under her skin. She laughed as light formed on her, reconstructing her face.

"Again, Pearl! Do it again! Make this fight meaningful!" she screamed in excitement, glowing bright white. In a flash, a black void replaced Nicole in the sky. She appeared right behind the pale lady, squeezing the air with her hands. Angelina's body began to twist and contort, crumbling like a can as Nicole wrung the light out of her body. The pale lady's broken shell of a body faded away as the extracted light reconstructed her form. Slashing down and taking off Nicole's arm in an instant.

A wispy black essence permeated in the air as Nicole's arm floated next to her. Her disembodied hand pointed down, a massive force dragging Angelina to the ground. Wrapping around her arm, Nicole's purple scarf grabbed the limb and slapped it back onto her body. Nicole grabbed onto the black essence in the air and warped it into a small hole. As it slowly started to suck in the world around it, she dropped it down at Angelina.
