TAG WITH @aokihana
Aoki Hana
The moment she sees red, she knows she's won.
Her smile grows cruel watching the Champion bleed. A superficial wound, almost certainly. But with the shock on her face comes the realization she has probably never been cut like that before. Despite her blade, a singer does not play at swords. That only fuels Hana's schadenfreude, savoring the moment like a lycanrock sinking its teeth into its prey for the first time on a hunt.
Gotcha...!
Hana raises her sword, readying a blow to take her head off. She wanted it clean. As much disdain as she had for the Champ, she didn't want her to suffer. She'd make this girl's head roll, and then she'd--
A piercing noise fills her head. Knives shoved into her ear canals, it's all Hana can do to wince and raise her hands to her head. The execution is abandoned. All the swordswoman can focus on is that dreadful noise, and the ringing that comes after...
She looks up, blinking through the pain. It's only then that she notices all the glass, and the spinning roof overhead, peeled away like a tin can. She hadn't even heard it, momentarily deafened by the woman's voice.
Of course.
It wasn't so easy to kill the Champ.
She was an avatar, had borrowed the powers of Meloetta. Cillian Quinn had informed her of that much before she was sent into the field. Hana was fighting an uneven battle from the beginning, but now she was sure to learn just how uneven that would be. Something tells her by the rage in the Top Champ's eyes that she would drive that reality home as sure as she could.
Gods... what is this...!?
She raises her eyes to the floating roof, turned lateral like a blade. It looms above her, heavy like an executioner's sword, ready to slay her.
Then, Melody unleashes it. The metal comes crashing down all at once over the deck of the ship. Wooden slats, the tougher material underneath, multiple decks below, even the hull -- they are sliced through cleanly. And atop it all, was--
"H-- Hideyoshi!!"
Hana calls out to her Empoleon, but it's too late. The blade had severed in half on impact, taking it to the depths. The woman gasps in disbelief, no stranger to loss but still taken aback nevertheless.
"HIDEYOSHI!!"
She calls out to him again, not hearing her own voice. She's too far away to run to the hole in the ship. Too occupied by the Champion in front of her to dwell upon it, lest she lose her life. She wheels around to face Melody, tears welling in her eyes, but she blinks them back.
The boat begins to shift underfoot, and Hana realizes it's beginning to sink - instinct, from spending her formative years on the sea. There isn't much time left, but she must avenge hr fallen comrade before they're lost to the sea.
"Murderer!! You fucking BITCH, I'll tear your throat out!!"
She screams the words, not registering what she's saying. Neither can she hear them over the ringing that fills her head. But that doesn't matter.
Hana raises her swords to swipe angrily at the woman, but it's rage behind her strikes now, not technique. She strikes with a fury cutter, not once, but twice, losing herself in her rage. She doesn't even notice the Meowscarada behind her, preparing an attack...
A screech comes from the skies, and her Skarmory dives downward with her agility, putting herself between her Master and the attack. It fills her to her core, cutting deep into the bird's hollow bones, but she manages to retain her faculties -- owing to her sturdy construction. Letting out a squawk, she tries to alert her master that it's time to go.
The woman, however, seems to have other designs...
