The day the Angels fell. Enter: Nanaomi & Luxanna!

Nanaomi awoke to find herself in a large stone room. It felt almost like the throne room of a castle however the slabs of stone seemed to be all one piece. It didn't appear to be made of bricks. She would quickly look around to notice Luxanna was next to her, though she was sprawled out on the ground unconscious. The woman would take a moment to look around the area and notice that she was chained to the ground in a kneeling position with her arms taught to either side. Her legs tightly bound to the floor with interlocking chain clamps which disabled any form of movement. Of course, the woman would attempt to gather her energy in the small of her back to project herself into super Saiyan but as she tried it seemed her Kai would melt from the position and back into her body. After trying this once or twice she'd realize that something was preventing her from gathering energy inside of her. After that realization came to her she would accept she was now the prisoner of Rota.

Suddenly she was abruptly taken aback by heavy foot steps coming towards them. Nanaomi would attempt to break free but notice she couldn't. Her eyes closed almost as if accepting her fate before the presence was now in front of her. It would walk forward and seemingly stay stationary several feet away. Slowly, Nanaomi would open her eyes to see Rota sitting in a stone throne staring at them. She seemed to smirk softly before speaking up to the two. "You have been quite a thorn in my side Lotus. You've managed to take out two of my commanders and, at the same time no less, take out my frontier tank factory. You've got the balls I'll give you that. Your father would be proud wouldn't he." She said, as her left leg swung across so that the back of her knee rested on the knee cap of her right leg. With her hanging foot slowly kicking idly in the air she'd speak up once more.

"Well, I think I've had enough of your little games Lotus. And now it's time to play my games. From this moment forward you and that, thing, will entertain me. I've been quite bored with this little charade of a rebellion for quite some time." Rota would snap her fingers and two overly large men with odd Japanese masks on their faces. They would grip Nanaomi's arms as the chains came unlocked. Then, they lifted her up and started to drag her towards a large wooden door. "Bye bye sweetie. Oh, and do entertain your guests. They get awfully cranky when their needs aren't....fulfilled." She said as she started to chuckle softly. As the large wooden door opened one could easily see a large array of objects of arranging sizes, types, and materials with an excess of leather straps, metal chains, and many many more things.

From behind the door, all that could be heard was incessant cackling from a large array of voices. However, there were no screams escaping from Nanaomi's mouth. No, she would not allow Rota the satisfaction to hearing her cry, scream, or yell. She would keep silent as the events behind the door took place. Time slowly passed by at first. The minutes felt like hours but after a while, it seemed the minutes turned to hours. Hours faded into days and days faded to weeks. After three weeks, the door would finally burst open. From the dark opening, a seemingly frail woman would be tossed into the throne room. As she struck the floor she would slide to a stop near the center of the room. From there a large woman would grab hold of Nanaomi and drag her deep into the bowls of the fortress where she would be tossed into a cell.

The cell was very old. It was pressed onto pack dirt with walls of stone bricks and a reinforced stone door with no way to escape. Inside the cell itself was barely any amenities besides a set of wall shackles which Nanaomi was immediately strapped to. The large woman left by slamming the door and locking it, leaving the woman to stay locked inside of the cell with her arms taught towards the ceiling, but she was barely able to even sit. In fact, she was at least three inches from the ground which meant she couldn't even sit. No, she was literally hanging by her wrists unconscious in the cell.

Nanaomi heard the door unlock and slide open. The loud grinding of stone on stone was difficult to miss. The large callused hand of the amazonian female Saiyan grabbed hold of Nanaomi's neck as if she was a prize from a hunt. As the chains were unhooked, the woman would slowly drag her all the way from the bowels of the castle to the throne room. Her mind going in and out of consciousness. She was tired, near the breaking point but she wouldn't be broken by conventional means. No, she was too strong for that. She felt the air start to flow around her body as she was lifted high up. The creaking of the large throne room doors resounded across the cathedral like room before the woman tossed Nanaomi into it. She felt the cold floor slam against her side as she came to a skidding halt. Slowly, the woman's eyes would open to see she was wearing a tattered cloth that barely covered her endowments. The top, held together by thin strands barely able to keep the lower half of her clothing attached.Almost all of her midriff was exposed to the cold stone floor. She could see shackles on her wrists and ankles. But what's more, she could plainly feel and see the large shackle around her neck. Nanaomi could cough softly before lifting her torso up to look towards Rota.

As Nanaomi looked up towards Rota she saw, something. It was a blue cat like creature. At first, she didn't recognize what, or who it was. But when Rota spoke, it all pieced together nicely. "Do you like it? I think the humans call them, cats. They're quite entertaining. isn't that right Luxanna?" She said as Rota looked down to Nanaomi and spoke once more. "That's right. I found out her DNA was feline in origin. So it was a small matter of caressing it to produce more of a physical change. Not my best work, really, but it works in a pinch." Rota said as she started to laugh at the woman. Nanaomi's eyes widened as she took in the sight.  So, Luxanna was changed to be more like a cat? It was the final straw which shook her to the core. Her beautiful eyes seemed to fade to an almost grey color. It appeared as if her very soul was gone from this body and plane. Nanaomi would drop to the floor, her blank eyes staring off into space as Rota started to laugh and proclaim that she had broken the infamous lotus. Rota would then stand up slowly and walk towards Nanaomi, taking the woman's sword and examining it as she neared. "This used to be yours. I think it's only fitting if I stab you with it, and end you with your own sword."

Nanaomi was lifted as the Ha of the blade moved close to Nanaomi, pressing against her stomach. The cold steel getting close to piercing the skin before the world seemed  to just stop. The next thing nanaomi knew she was lost in the meadow of her own mind where she took Luxanna before. It was, different though. The smell of iron was strong in the air. Nanaomi would begin to look around and what she saw was decaying, no, dead trees, decaying flowers and a river of blood staining the blackened ground beneath her feet. The iron blood smell was overwhelming as was the rancid smell of decaying flesh. She'd slowly look around to see the source only to find herself staring at a large throne made of black metal. It was adorned with skulls, hell-hounds, and demonic markings. It was then a voice echoed through her mind. "Why hello Lotus. It seems you're a bit lost huh? Aw, poor baby. Do you need mommy to come guide you? Or have you given up completely?" The voice said. Before she could react to it, Nanaomi felt a strong hand rest on her right shoulder, gripping it tightly. "Mmm, so strong yet you can't protect your own student from the likes of her? So pitiful. Well, if you've given up Lotus, then let me take the reigns. Don't worry, I'll let you live out your life in here. It's quite beautiful isn't it?" The voice said as the woman slowly walked forward into view. Nanaomi took a good long look at her to understand who it was she was looking at. She stood six feet tall, with dark red skin. Across her whole body were black tribal markings and demonic signets.

Her body was adorned in black metal armor covering her breasts, forearms and grieve like high heeled boots. Her chest armor left, barely anything to be desired as it only covered the bare necessities. her forearm armor was held in place by chains that tied it to her chest armor that combined at a collar around her neck. Her waist was adorned with a type of loin cloth that covered her front and back, however the front was a type of Demon skull with horns. Her fingers were long, slender, and pointed at the tip like talons of an eagle. As she worked her way up to the woman's face, Nanaomi could see large demon horns towering above her head a good three inches to the pointed tips. Her head was adorned in a demonic black metal crown which held a small human skill in the center and an array of flare towards the ears. Her hair was a long red that flowed across her body like a waterfall across rocks, conforming to her very curves almost as if the hair itself defined the curves. "Well, just say the word dear and I'll come to the rescue. All you need to do is say, 'i relinquish control.'" She teased in her almost siren like voice. Nanaomi looked away as she clenched her fists. She was in no condition to fight this fight. But perhaps, this thing was. She'd stare at the ground as her voice resounded. "I relinquish control." As she said that a surge of pain erupted in her mind as she fell to the ground, clenching her shattering mind.

The blade from Rota's sword slowly started to enter into the woman's stomach as the blood trickled down from the wound. The woman screamed out in pain as the blade started to slide in, slicing through several bits of her body. Rota would stop and laugh softly at the sound of the woman's screams. The room fell silent as the woman fell limp for a moment, her screaming dieing down to nothing. Almost as if she was a dead husk of a creature. After a good minute, the woman would slowly begin to smile as she started to laugh. Her incessant laughing echoed through the cathedral like throne room. Rota, herself, was taken aback with shock at the fact that this woman was laughing almost directly in her face. The woman's hand lifted up and grasped Rota's hand as she held the sword. In that instant, she pulled the blade fully through her body, piercing the other side. The creature's blood started to slowly spill from the left side of her lip as a loud, erotic moan escaped her lips. Rota's eyes widened as she backed away, dropping the creature to the ground. As it landed on the ground, she would stand up straight and crack her neck. The woman would look down to see the blade and slowly start to slide it out of her, the lewd moaning becoming louder as the blade would finally slide out of her body. "Well, that's better" She said in a teasing siren like voice.

Rota stared at the woman unable to form words as she was just taken aback by the spectacle. "[color:8276=#ccddrr]W-what are you!" She asked, staring at the woman she believed was Nanaomi. It was then the creature pulled the Katana up to her mouth starting from the tsuba. Her tongue started to caress the blade, licking the blood from every inch of it as her tongue seemed to grow longer until it was able to wrap around the blade once. She'd then slowly slide it towards the tip where she erotically caressed it with her tongue to make sure it was fully clean. "Mmhhmhmhmh. The question isn't what am I love. But who!~" She said teasingly towards Rota. The woman would begin cracking her neck slightly before taking a look at her hands. "No this wont' do at all. Lets see, this is how we use Super Saiyan, right?" She said as her Kai suddenly flared, pushing her into Super Saiyan form. As she did, the back of the neck shackle sparked and exploded as the inhibitor short circuited. Rota stared at her in shock still, not sure what she was beholding. "Ah, much better." The woman said as her skin started to darken a slight tinge of red. Her Kai, however, was much different. It was very similar to the death black of rota's Kai as it fluttered around her body wildly like fire caressing her body. "Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. Hello my lovely, I'm Houzouki.~" Her voice echoed through the room as she started to take a step forward. As she did her leg gave out for a second causing her to stumble slightly. "Oh, right. No heels. Give me a minute to fix this. It's really difficult to walk with out heels." She said as the woman started to channel her Kai into her body. This would speed up the, seemingly intense alteration process.

Nanaomi's body would start to shift to a tinge of dark red. Demonic black tribal markings started to crawl across her skin, and her body started to grow taller. After a minute, she looked exactly like the woman from Nanaomi's inner mind, the demoness. But the most interesting part was her Saiyan tail. It had unwrapped and actually grew twice as long. But the odd part was, that it thinned to almost the size of a small piece of rope or thread with a spaded tip in the shape of a heart. Houzouki stretched softly before smiling lightly. "Much better. So where were we? Oh, right. Well, it seems Lotus has given up. I can't thank you enough my dear." She said as she slowly sauntered over to Rota, placing a finger in her chin and slowly sliding it down her chest as she spoke towards her belly button. "With out you, I wouldn't have been able to get out of that stuffy woman's head. It's so dull up there with technology and boring junk." She teased softly before she gripped Rota's lower body softly. Rota herself leapt backwards a few feet as she started to scowl. "You've gotta be kidding me. This is bullshit." She yelled as Houzouki started to walk forward towards the woman. "Oh come now, it's not that bad. Why don't you entertain me a bit? I can feel there's untapped power just waiting to be caressed to the point of exploding all over my body~"

Houzouki said as she bolted forward and aimed to punch Rota directly in the fact. Rota, however, caught the punch after she snapped out of her confusion. "Tch, I don't care who or what you are! I'll crush you into dust!" She said as her power began to spike, causing the castle's foundation to shake at the shear weight. However, it appeared Houzouki  didn't buckle as Nanaomi had. No, she was much stronger now it appeared. rota would punch Houzouki in the stomach causing her to skid to a stop before touching the wall. A soft huff escaped her pursing lips as she spoke up. "Well that wasn't very nice. I guess I'll need to step it up. Lets hit you with something super strong and see how you take it." She said as her body elevated to the highest power she could muster. As she did, she pointed towards Rota as her words escaped her lips. "Times Five, Kamehameha." The beam, with out even charging, erupted from her finger. Black as death itself roared towards Rota. As the smoke and beam cleared from the area she could see Rota was no longer there but she had incinerated that portion of the castle easily from existence. Houzouki would feel a gentle tap on her shoulder. As she turned, she saw Rota staring back at her and was back handed across the room. She came to a sliding halt once more as she stared at Rota attempting to figure out how she managed to dodge that attack. She'd take the blade and begin attacking in a flurry of slices. Yet each slide, though she was matching speeds if not a bit slower, was met with a counter. It was almost as if she was able to predict every single attack Houzouki was making.

Houzouki was beginning to get frusterated as every attack she produced was being countered easily. It was infuriating. How could a woman like this be able to actually predict movement that was obviously faster than her! The two battled neigh endlessly against each other. Blow for blow being blocked by the other party. They appeared evenly matched even though Houzouki's speed was dwarfing Rota's easily. They battled a few more minutes before finally Houzouku felt a sudden pull in her mind from Nanaomi. "Something's not right. Her speed is far below us. Why can she keep up?" Houzouki yelled out in frustration as if talking to herself. "I'm aware of this love. Instead of stating the obvious why not state how to get around it instead of fondling yourself." She barked at Nanaomi, though, her words came out in earnest which caused Rota to smirk softly as she realized the two were having an argument. Nanaomi instructed Houzouki to watch Rota's eyes and see where she was looking. Something felt off. So, she began another flurry of attacks. All of which were parried by Rota once again in a timely manner. but the odd part was, Rota never looked at Houzouki's attacks. She kept firm eye contact the whole time. Nanaomi spoke up, as she was confident she knew what was keeping Rota on par with them. "Give me control, I know how to defeat her." Houzouki was hesitant at first. But seeing as she had no other choice as she wasn't smart enough to fight this fight, she finally relinquished control of the body. "Tch, I relinquish control." She said, as her movement stopped dead in her tracks.

The husk would stand straight up as power welled from it's body. She was already in Saiyan form yet, her power was bursting forth form the seams. It skyrocketed even farther escaping the realms of Saiyan and elevating into something greater. A black mass of purple tipped Kai exploded form her body, causing raw Kai to rain down like droplets across the battlefield. The Kai rain was so dense it obscured vision completely. One couldn't even see two feet in front of them. It was then, out of nowhere a large heel slammed into Rota's face causing her to slide into her throne at great speed. As she smashed into it and destroyed it, she would slowly stand up, the Kai rain having died down to nothingness and the black mass having disappeared, only the two remained. Nanaomi stood tall with her sword in hand, back to normal. And Rota, staggering to stand but finally being able to. Nanaomi would speak up. "I know how you work. I understand everything about you now Rota. I know how to beat you." She said, her eyes closing as she took a deep breath in. She knew how to do it. But the problem was, could she?

It was one thing to know how to do something. It was another to be able to preform a feat you'd never preformed before. She had realized that every time Rota defended an attack or attacked an opening that was left, she kept eye contact. But, when her vision was obscured, she couldn't react fast enough to dodge the attack. This meant that her power involved maintaining eye contact. If she could do so, she would be able to block any attack by being able to see the most probably outcome of the opponent. Basically, prediction based combat. So if she couldn't see the opponent's eyes than she had no way to predict an attack. But Nanaomi had never tried fighting with her eyes closed before. It wouldn't be that hard, right?

Nanaomi closed her eyes and tried to focus. Her teacher back on earth explained that every creature held Kai. And that Kai could be used to track them. That's how he always blocked her attacks when they sparred and he was blind folded. But how does that even work? Nanaomi had never attempted it before. All she felt was nothingness. Her own heart beat and that was it. Sure, she could hear sounds but how could she react to them properly? She had no idea. These thoughts were raging inside of her head when she suddenly felt a punch directly to her stomach. This sent her flying into the ceiling and smacking into it at full force. She'd come crashing down with a large thud before slowly getting up, clutching her stomach but still keeping her eyes closed. She had to do this. There was no way around it. She had to adapt. DO this. Learn from your mistakes! She stayed silent, still, and alert. She then felt another punch, this time to her right side. This caused her to fly into the wall crushing some of her right ribs. "Gah!" She said as blood spewed from her mouth. No, she had to focus. She had to defeat Rota. This was it. This was the moment where she would unite the peoples under one flag. This was the moment she would uphold her father's wish.

Nanaomi stood back up, firm in her position. She waited, staying vigilant and waiting for any hint at what was to happen. There! She felt a tiny bit of movement but it was too late. She was slammed at the side once more, this time crashing into the other smaller throne and breaking a few more ribs. Slowly, still, the woman would stand yet again. She was sure she had it this time. She just needed to concentrate. The foot steps were now clear as day. She could hear every step Rota took. Not only that, but she could feel her Kai as well. It was as if she could see her clear as day but not being able to see her with her eyes. A new world opened around her as every living creature was visible to her. Not just that though, she was able to feel even the most minute of movements of her clothing. She watched as Rota's next punch came in almost as if slow motion towards her stomach. As it neared, she could feel her clothing move just ever so slightly. A quick side step was enough to clear the punch from her body. And in that instant, Nanaomi pointed her hand towards Rota and used a normal Ki attack, causing the woman to fly into the wall and crash into it. "I can see your attacks now, Rota. This ends now." She said as her body stretched slightly. IT was an amazing feat to be able to finally fight on her own terms with her eyes closed. It was impressive indeed.

Nanaomi bolted forward and as Rota tried to side step, she would shift to the side, allowing a small bullet like object erupt from her fingers into Rota's chest. This once more sent her flying back into the wall. This woman was strong but, in comparison to Nanaomi she was actually weak. Her only major advantage was in fact her ability to manipulate her Kai to produce astounding pressure, and her prediction. With out her prediction she was actually pretty easy to fight. Her pressure no longer worked as she had released latent energy to counter that very fact. She was now, stronger than Rota now. And this fight was proving it easily. Nanaomi was fed up with this. She planned to end it here and now. She would disappear before reappearing behind Rota with her finger to the woman's head. In an instant the beam would erupt, engulfing the woman's head. The black beam with purple outlines erased a large portion of the castle as well as Rota's head in an instant. This left Nanaomi rather winded however, using her full power to do so many things was taxing. It didn't help that Houzouki also spent a large portion of her power with a flurry of attacks. As she huffed lightly, she realized Luxanna had disappeared. She used her new found Kai sensing to location and go after her. Getting near her, she saw what had become of her. A soft, disgruntled sigh escaped her lips as she slowly picked up Luxanna and headed towards, where ever the lab was. She was aimed at finding it. But, not after taking Rota's wrist-let which seemed to be a sort of, advanced technology object that might come in handy. No pun intended of course.

After reaching the lab from hours of searching, she'd enter into it and place Luxanna on a gurney. She searched high and low and finally found a healing tank. There, she hooked the cat girl up to it and sat down next to the tank as it filled up with liquid. And so, she waited.
