Mia smiles for Arthuria before her form blurs and a circle of after images surrounds her. Arthuria lifts her sword,"I told you," and unleashes a blast of wind magic in all directions,"that won't work against me!"
The images take the hit and vanish to show Mia in her previous position,"A girl can hope. Guess I'll have to take this up a notch."
She vanishes all together and Arthuria feels a sudden pain in her back while red stains her blue dress. Her eyes narrow as she mutters,"High speeds but little offensive capability."
The area around her is suddenly scarred by small cuts,"Limited accuracy and possibly tunnel vision."
Another cut opens on her right arm before Mia reappears where she was previously,"And a seven second time limit before you have to recharge."
Mia smiles,"You seem to have figured out most of my tricks."
Arthuria nods and her sword glows as she lifts it above her head,"It was a good last ditch effort. I'll make this quick since you pushed me to use the true might of my sword."
She swings downwards and a crescent of light explodes from her blade that blinds both fighters. Seconds later when Arthuria can see again the only thing left that marks where Mia was is a deep scar in the crystal that spans the entirety of the tower.
****
Luke and Ulquiorra, who both paused when a energy crescent passed by them, turn their heads to look at Arthuria,"That was a very powerful strike from her sword."
"Yeah, Arthuria tends to overdo things sometimes. Should we keep going?"
Ulquiorra lunges for him with his blade at his side,"By all means."
****
Arthuria pants as sweat runs down her forehead,"You were a good opponent. To make me use even half of Exclaibur's full destructive power is a testament to your strength."
"Nice to know I'm remembered."
Arthuria's eyes widen and her back is sliced open in two intersecting lines before blood seems to explode outwards. Mia is standing right behind her with a smug grin on her face,"That was a hard attack to dodge. It very nearly got all of me."
Her left arm is gone and her chest is almost completely ripped apart but white matter bubbles around and in the wound to seal it up while a new arm emerges from her shoulder. Arthuria is waiting for the telltale feeling of her cuts to heal, but feels nothing but warm blood dripping down her back. "You waiting for your regeneration to kick in? I'm kinda sorry to tell you that won't be happening anytime soon."
Arthuria tries to turn her head but little arcs of electricity stun her,"For the moment I've managed to disable your supernatural regeneration, and your entire body."
Mia moves in front of Arthuria,"My release, Lightning Hornet, isn't really a straight up combat form. It's meant more for assassination or a quick fight. True it gives me unparalleled speed but that's just the tip of the iceberg. When I hit you with my Doble Bala earlier, and when I cut you on your back and right arm I was observing your regeneration."
Arthuria's eyes widen and Mia's grin drops as a serious expression is on her face,"Your regeneration is nothing more than your mind sending signals to your cells to divide more rapidly, thus causing a temporary cancerous state around and in your wound. I disrupted those signals with my latest strikes by pumping precise amounts of electricity through my blades when they made contact. You won't be able to move for about an hour as it is now."
She turns to go but Arthuria asks her a question,"How did you generate that much electricity? Surely your body didn't do it naturally."
Mia grins as she goes back to her sealed form,"When I was running around earlier my feet and blades dragged over the ground at high speeds, generating massive amounts of friction. My reiatsu is unique in it changes friction and heat to electricity when I will it. So while I was running I was also building up enough electricity to kill an elephant if I released it all at once."
Arthuria groans in pain and Mia hesitates before turning around and walking back to her to lay her on the ground,"The possibility of you dying from blood loss is close to zero since your regeneration will be back in an hour. Still I guess it wouldn't hurt."
She turns Arthuria over and her hand glows as she employs a minor healing kido to the wound to make it close,"There."
She flips the King of Knights back onto her back and bends her body so she's sitting up against one of the few walls left standing from Excalibur,"You should be good until you're friends find you."
Arthuria looks at her with the corner of her eye,"Why are you helping your enemy? That's not how most battles end in most cases."
Mia snorts,"This ain't like most battles. Espada-sama is here to make a statement against using the people he cares about like pawns in Chaos' and Eternity's game. Me and the others are helping because we're his friends, and that's what friends do right; help each other out?"
Arthuria frowns,"I can assure you Lady Eternity doesn't play games with the lives of mortals."
Mia huffs,"She had one of her servants possess June, one of Espada-sama's friends, and try to subdue him. You have any idea how violated June might feel after that? You'd better hope Eternity doesn't view this as a game or else Esapada-sama might actually kill her with The Darkness."

"Hold still!"
Eternity dodges the demon arm that tries to pin her to the wall,"Please calm down Perseus! You have to understand what we did was for the good of the world!"
I roar and unleash a barrage of gunfire from both barrels,"That's bull and you know it! You and Chaos influenced those monsters on Olympus for your own means! The Titans rising was your doing and Gaea awakening was all you two!"
Eternity bites back a scream as my tail rakes itself across her side and I stomp my foot on her chest to pin her to the ground. My breathing is heavy and my hands twitch as Thráfsma urges me to strangle the woman under me,"All that death. All those families who won't see their children again. All those possible futures lost. You two caused all of it!"
The Darkness compresses itself around my hand to form a Arabian saber with the handle fused to my hand,"Black Hole."
Darkness envelops us and I dart away from Eternity and into the cold embrace brought about by Black Hole,"How about we play a game of hide-n-seek? You're the seeker and I'm the hider. If you can't find me soon enough you'll be reduced to a bloody piece of meat."
As I say this two massive Ceros are launched through the crystal walls and I grin,"You hear that? That was two of my friends blasting this tower. If you don't hurry up and escape I doubt this tower will be left standing in a few minutes."
Eternity rushes towards where the doors should be but I slam the dull side of my sword into her side to send her flying away,"It isn't that easy to get away from me."
We continue our game of cat and mouse for a few more minutes until she's barely standing and pleads for me to let her out,"Please Perseus, you have to understand we did what was for the best! Nether Chaos or myself enjoyed the pain our decisions brought. We did what we thought was right for Earth!"
My anger peaks and I let loose a bloodcurdling scream as my dark blade slices through the dome of shadows,"Shuuut uppppppp!"
Just as it starts to draw blood I'm blasted away from her and Dark Hole is dispelled. Before I know it I'm pinned to the floor with spears of purple energy through the middle of my back and my hands. My eyes widen before I roar at the meddler,"You!"

Wonderweiss sighs as he blocks another sword slash with his hand,"Why did I have to fight a girl? I bet White and Ulquiorra didn't have to fight a girl."
He sighs again and deflects a strike to the side,"Why me?"
The blonde haired woman her jaw twitches,"You have something against women?!"
Wonderweiss looks surprised at the accusation,"Not at all, but I can see how you arrived at that conclusion. I'd much rather take a beautiful woman like you out than cross swords with you on the battlefield."
He barely jumps over a particularly nasty strike aimed at his knees,"What's with all the aggression? I just complimented your looks and you try to cut me?"
He doesn't get an answer so he sighs one more time,"Fine then."
He darts towards her and lashes out with his right hand parallel to the ground. The woman blocks the strike with the edge of her sword but is pushed back from the force. Faster than she can blink Wonderweiss withdraws his hand and pivots on his right heel. He forces his left foot into her side to send her flying through the air like a bullet and skidding across the ground until she stops abruptly. She's breathing heavily and glares at him,"Will you not even unsheathe your sword against me?!"
Wonderweiss glances back at his blade,"This hunk of metal? To be honest, if I used my blade against you I'd probably get no enjoyment out of this."
He unsheathes it and looks at his reflection in the metal,"I mean it's not like I'm ungrateful to Espada-sama for making me more human, but did he have to store the other part of my soul in something so bulky?"
The woman suddenly appears next to him with her sword in mid-swing,"You've left yourself open!"
His free hand comes up to catch the strike without difficulty,"Not at all."
He holds the sword in place with a faint smile on his face,"I've got your weapon. Whatcha gonna do now?"
The woman pulls with all her might and Wonderweiss lets go in favor of watching her stumble back and fall on her behind. She gets up with a angry blush on her face,"How dare you humiliate me in such a way! I don't care if Lord Chaos wants you alive, I'll kill you!"
Her single earring glows as the small blue gem in the center is drained of color and her power explodes to outline her in a harsh blue light. She vanishes and Wonderweiss is thrown back as a torrent of water jets into him. He gets up only to be knocked to the side by a watery whip and he grunts when a bullet made of water pierces through his shoulder with no resistance. He holds a hand over the wound and gets up to see the woman cloaked in what appears to be a shrift of blue energy,"My name is Joan of Arc, one of Lord Chaos' warriors! Now either surrender or be cut down where you stand!"
Wonderweiss doesn't move before his hand slowly creeps towards the handle of his sword,"I'll take death over behaving like a coward."
Joan nods and points her sword towards him,"Very well then. Perish."
Wonderweiss is suddenly surrounded by a dome of water and he puts a hand on its surface,"Solid. Wonder how she'll try and kill me?"
He gets his answer as the dome quickly fills itself with water while Joan watch from the outside,"I will applaud you for choosing an honorable death. I will make this as quick as I can."
She stabs her sword into the ground and the dome suddenly ripples violently and blood can be seen in it. Everything is quiet except for the water moving in the dome and Joan sighs,"At least you didn't beg to live."
She closes her eyes until she hears,"Espada pesada: hierro trituradora."
Her eyes shoot open as the dome of water dome explodes and Wonderweiss steps out with droplets raining down on him,"Crushing your opponent by suddenly increasing the water pressure. A truly interesting way to kill an enemy or a crowd of enemies. If I hadn't drawn my sword I might suffer from more than a crushed arm."
True to his words his right arm is crushed to a pulp and Joan is gazing at him with a small amount of fear in her eyes,"That's impossible! Nobody can cut through my water when I make it that dense!"
Wonderweiss nods his head in agreement,"I doubt anybody other than Espada-sama or myself would be able to manage such a feat of physical strength. However I am the strongest of my brothers and sisters when it comes down to raw physical strength. You know how earlier I said I don't like using my sword?"
Joan nods and tries to move, only for a Bala to slam into her. She tumbles back and is stunned when her body slams into the wall behind her,"I don't like using my sword because I don't believe in the sort of combat the others believe, in flashy techniques or learning a specific style. I just swing my sword since with my natural strength I'm able to kill most anything with a few strikes. You see, with my strength and hardened skin I've made my whole body into a sword."
He pauses when Joan gets to her feet,"However it seems I'll require something more than my natural strength to defeat you."
He lifts his sword into the air to conceal his right eye,"Be honored, you'll be the first opponent I will use this power against. Massacre," and he lets go of his blade as it starts to spin in front of his body,"Cosecha Mantis!"
