Chapter 11 - battle of identity

Scene Raven and Eren walking through a jungle like terrain with a scaly frog jumping from Orange Leaf to orange leaf

Raven tinkering with her rifle thinks her thoughts one of worry and concern

That shot I made against the behemoth messed up a few things I'm just lucky it actually hit its core

As she thinks back to the behemoths

They bodies are reinforced with thick skin or scales they can't see very well and the purple could use some kinda of energy blast she said aloud

Eren looking at her says what now his voice one of confusion

Raven pointing up with her signature mischievous look says basically my uninformed carrgo carrier we are dealing with two behemoth classed fallen humans

Eren blinking slowly as if to gesture I already know that says okay then

Raven looking at him smirks and says the difference was the green one wasn't all that clever and took orders from the purple one so suggesting one regained intelligence from its previous life

Eren looking at her with narrowed eyes says you say that as of those things where actually humans once

Raven continuing her goofy shaking walk puts both her fingers up to mimic cow horns says who knows maybe they where cows but on a much serious notice don't you wonder way we call them fallen humans instead of demons

Eren rubbing his chin reminds silence as Raven says good now that I got your attention let me explain

As a mystic knight there are multiple duties and responsibilities you have one of them is killing fallen humans or putting them to rest but in all honesty we just putting an end to here suffering

Eren confused not quite following what Raven is saying says what do you mean by that

Raven her smirk but her eyes narrowed says of course you won't know those creatures we fighting in this god forsaken forest were all once human every last one

Nobody knows how or way it happens but without any rhyme or reason humans suddenly turned into vicious man eating monsters that came to be known as demons

Eren remembering the time they fought those two nobles then they turned into disfigured and mutated monsters

Eren with wide eyes thinks so what I saw that day was true humans turning into monsters

But before he can ask more questions everything turns a pitch black with a dark twisted laugh

Raven now alone in a dimly lit cave as a a four horned female like entity seating on a throne made of rock as it as a twisted smile and says so your must be the great inventor and thief Raven Damien, disgrace of the noble house or Damien

Raven not wasting anytime shots the entity but it gracefully tilts it's head to the side and it smiles grows revealing a row of Razer shape teeth

Raven her expression stoic with a mask of Ann said threat says and who are the hell are you supposed to be a eyeless reminder of my past

The entity with mock amusement says fiery are you but you could say that call me gunpowder

Raven chuckling a unhinged chuckle says funny I guess we going to be great friends I just hope you don't get blown to pieces

Raven her codex hovering near her as she reaches in and twin Pistols with multiple rows of ammos

As gunpowder raising from her throne as twin Pistols seemly made out of flash and bone appear in her hands with without hesitation she shots at Raven

Raven shooting back as both bullets hit and melt together effective stopping each other as they begin Running at high speeds there movements and shots seemly a blur of motion expect for the orange and purple colour of there ethers coming from the gun barrel

As they appear infront of each other they begin blocking and dodging each other attacks by messing up there aim

Raven throwing one of her pistols into the sky distracting gunpowder punches and kicks her back

Gunpowder her face to the side spits out as she says will will I wasn't expecting that from you I love it let's keep on playing together

As she points both her pistols at Raven and in an distorted voice says explosion magic: exploring death barge

As she shots her guns firing like cannons

Raven eyes widening rolls and takes cover bear a pillar

The shockwave of the shoots tearing the ground up and destroying anything in sight gunpowder her voice now high pitched with a hint of insanity says die, die!!,die!!!die!!!!!!!

The sooner you do the sooner I can take your place and them all what we can really do she laughs then after

Raven eyes wide thinks her inner voice with a hint of worry what does she mean by that unless she's.....as a throught comes across her unless she's an inverse of myself

Inverses are beings from another dimension said to be the manifestation of our ether body there have been many incidents involving people trying to harness here powers each of which resulting in horrific deaths but they only appear once a ritual is done to summon them or when a person us being tested by there codex

Raven smiling her smile equally as insane as gunpowder speaks to herself if that's the case I don't need to hold back

As she reaches into her codex and takes her rifle she lays down aiming as she thinks gun powder magic: exploding dragon cannon

As a mini dragon head made out of gunpowder appears and as eaten fires it bursts out into a massif flaming dragon head

Gunpowder countering with her own attacks puts both of her pistols together to create a rifle with a human skull at the end of the barrel

Raven dodging and shooting back thinks if I don't get her with the bullet the force of the shockwaves will do the job for me but something about this seems off her shots aren't aimed to kill me

Raven reloading yells so let's get to know each other for w bit before we continue our little game I suppose you know everything about me so tell me about yourself

Gunpowder tilting her head sighs and says this game isn't fun but I'll play along back

Raven thinking judging by the amount of damage we both did here without destroying the place I'll say I can do a lot more here

As she reaches into her codex and begins reconfiguring her rifle

Gunpowder smiling as her rifle grows a massive barrel as she laughs and takes aim there's not much to say about me I'm just a formless being without any true identity that is unless i take yours so in a way this us just faith cruel twisted game and we the unfortunate pawns trying to become queens

As she takes aim

Raven rolling infront of her says then this us check ad she gasps in shock thinking who did she

Gunpowder smiling says mate

As she fires blowing a massive hole in Raven siding her flying back

Gunpowder turning around laughs and says I win as her face turns to match Ravens but here with purple skin and a stoic almost depressed expression as if she isnt joyed by her victory

As she thinks that's right we always win right even when we lose

As she begins to slowly walk away as she looks up at the only crack in this cave

She whispers break

As the cave turns into a room that seems to belong in a massive stronghold with a massive window revealing a crimson moon and the benches of the hanging tree seeming to try grabbing the moon from the sky

The scene shifts to a red desert where corpses lay disfigured beyond recognition

The leader Barking out orders whichs as all his man are lillked off his he falls to the ground a head is thrown his way

As a massive humanoid beast with the face of a lion walks towards him and says weak all of them just like you

Behind the beast man a tell thin woman with pale skin that seems to be mixed with purple scales

Her eyes blindfolded and her hair long and a deep black as she is wearing a deep dress with green fur as a collor she raises her scared clawed hand and from the bones of the corpses they from a massive blade and from the remaining bits and pieces they turn into horrific monstrous as if from a nightmare

With an indifferent and disinterested voice says hurry up already we have to found the Bastard who did this to me and turn him into one of my babies

The beast man growling says don't get cocky Just because you evolved to be stronger then me

The leader please...please spar my life I'll do any...thing you want he pleads his voice trembling and breaking

The beast Man grins widely and says you where acting so brave a minute ago now look at you

As. He life's him up and sate no I'll just eat you

The leader screams out begging for his life but is eaten in half by the beastman who begins to steam the more he eats

Tht beastman turning into the leader all be it with dark skin

Long messy hair that as two fox like ears

Piecing oranges grabs the leaders codes along with his clothing

As the blindfolded woman behind him says what's that your holding

The beastman smiling says it's a codex a magical item humans use to cast spells this one is powerful judging by the ether coming from it go on now pick one for yourself

The blindfolded woman looking around spots a few codexes laying bloodied but as of it was calling out to her she takes the one with a black and red leather clover that seems to glow with a aura of malice as she laughs followed by the beastman
