Obsidia VS The First Trial

The same thought seemed to fill the minds of Shike, Belle, Alexia, and Boo simultaneously. With one look toward each other, Boo cracked her shoulder, and vanished into Blue Strands as she moved as fast as possible.

Obsidia tilted her head back and perfectly ducked under Boo's predicted path. Obsidia's hair glided against the length of Boo's katana, making eye contact with her attacker and clapping her hands.

Alexia enhanced her use of the ability, enlarging the katana on the second swing so it couldn't possibly miss Obsidia that time. It hit Obsidia directly in the shoulder, digging into her skin and spurting blood all over the field. Boo kicked off of her body and landed cleanly on the ground as Alexia placed a dome around the four.

"I fail to understand your competition here. I'm here to help, I thought. Are you really enough to stop me?" Obsidia asked. Baring her heavy teeth at the Shike and the other First Trialians, she summoned an Iridescent Saber and held it widely.

"If it is what you desire, then I shall grant it to you. Sure, let's see what you're made of, after all this time. Don't forget, I was one of you too." Obsidia told them.

The fight began with Shike taking the initiative. Belle supported him by freezing parts of his body, keeping Obsidia from doing any real damage to his body. 

She struck him with the saber, phasing through Belle's ice with what appeared to be magic, and striking his body directly. He was able to absorb the charge, redirect the energy, and pulse it toward the ground right underneath her.

Obsidia was moved from her balanced state, shaking underneath the pressure exerted onto the ground. Boo came in once more with her katana pulled back behind her hip, waiting to strike at Obsidia while she was falling.

It looked like the hit connected between the two, but when Boo slashed downward, it looked like her sword was pushed through liquid. Obsidia's body turned to some sort of odd liquid that didn't take damage the same way a solid body did...?

At the very end of the slash with her katana, Boo was pushed back by what looked like an Aura, moving her to the very edge of the dome.

By the force of her launch, Boo slammed into the dome and cracked it, staring at Obsidia with an irritated gaze.

"Don't be surprised, it can get much worse, technically," Obsidia held up a finger, stopping Alexia's saber from hitting her directly in the throat.

"You'd really kill Faithy? You know, this was her body after all. If she has nothing to come back to, does she even have a life anymore? Or does it belong to me?" Obsidia asked. She grabbed onto Alexia's wrist and launched her into the top of her own dome. Alexia hit the top so hard she bounced and slammed into the floor even faster than she was thrown.

She held up her hand, throwing out shards of ice directly at Belle that caused her to focus all efforts on holding out the red ice that came from Obsidia's palm.

"I have every bloodline within me, Belle. That means even yours." Obsidia vaguely said. I was confused by it, but the others seemed to understand.

While Obsidia was distracted, Boo came in from behind once more, successfully slamming the tip of her katana through her chest and piercing her heart.

"Come on now, we've spent our entire lives together. You think we'd have a shit level of teamwork compared to you?" Boo antagonized. She slid the katana out of Obsidia's chest and the wound grew larger and more complex thanks to Alexia's ability.

Her hands froze to the ground and Shike, diving in front of Obsidia, charged his fist back with an annoyed glare. He struck the bottom of her chin, launching her into the top of the dome and cracking it from the pressure.

The Aura emitting from Obsidia was now effecting everybody around her, even me. Khalil perked up at the feeling, and notified everybody.

"That's my Aura! This one is almost as strong as me, she does have my ability!" 

"She has your ability too? Come on...l can't think of any other way we can help." I said out loud. Khalil shook his head.

"No...it feels childish almost, in terms of control at least. She can be easily overpowered, we just have to play this smart." Khalil suggested. I held my hand up to my missing eye, thinking about what I could do to help stop her.

While I was thinking of a strategy, the dome clouded into a cloud of opaque black smoke. It was dead silent for three seconds.

The only noise I could hear were footsteps pattering against the dirt. Things were being moved and the sound of flesh ripping was the only thing I could hear.

"Shike?!" I screamed out. I pounded on the outer edge of the dome, peering inside as the black smoke cleared all at once.

On the ground were the bodies of Shike, Belle, Alexia, and Boo, all lying with their left hands over their chests. They looked to still be breathing...however...

The White Stones were missing out of the backs of their hands.

Looming around Obsidia's left forearm, the four White Stones adjusted themselves into her body, coursing her veins with Red, Purple, and Gold coloring as they inched across every inch of her. She smiled as the power visibly flowed into her and around her. I wasn't sure what her status entailed, but I knew that Shike, Belle, Alexia, and Boo were out of commission now. All that remained was Fudo, Khalil, and I. I wasn't sure if Red or Mizu could even fight. We were severely limited.

"So... Five of Seven..." Obsidia muttered. She scanned her arm, looking at it from all angles with a smile. Obsidia clutched her fist closed, exploding her arm from the pressure, and reforming a Strand Outline of her destroyed limb.
