TAG WITH @aokihana
Aoki Hana
Hana smashes her sword against the woman's psychic barriers, one after the other. Cracks appear in midair, shattering, but they are replenished faster than she can break through.
It doesn't matter. She keeps hammering, all her rage focused on the woman in front of her.
"FUCK you!! I'll rip out your guts and hang you with 'em, you fuckin' cunt!!"
Melody's threats fall on deaf ears.
Literally.
All she hears is a constant ringing, the woman's scream temporarily deafening her. Hana probably could have read her lips if she cared to, but she was beyond talking. Talk wouldn't bring back the dead. Talk wouldn't bring back Hideyoshi. A part of her had sunken to the depths along with him, and all sense and measured restraint with it. She was out for blood now.
She wanted to crush that pretty neck of hers. She wanted to claw out her eyes and shove them down her throat, and stop this gods-awful singing.
But before she can get the chance, talons bite into her shoulders. She's grasped and ripped off her feet, huge beating wings lifting her into the air. The Skarmory moves quickly, dragging Hana skyward with another agility. Hana could remember kicking, and screaming. What she had screamed at Melody, at her Skarmory, at the world, she had no recollection. But she remembered Melody Miro growing smaller and smaller beneath her, as well as the sinking ship, and the battle at large growing so small. It had seemed much so much larger on the sea, as most things do.
She remembered what came next, too. A dense energy wave. A massive explosion that swallows the ship they had been on moments earlier. The resulting shockwave that nearly dragged them from the skies, and her Skarmory's frantic flapping to rise above it.
Hana watched, stunned.
In that moment, she had almost wished she'd recalled the Skarmory. That she hadn't been able to be dragged away. That she could have forestalled the Top Champion, and died together with her in the explosion. It would have been a fitting end. Nobody could have said she'd done nothing of value, had she taken the Champ to hell with her.
But she was alive, even though she would rather not be.
Alive, but lacking her Empoleon, her dear friend, the only one she could ever trust. She could not remember a life without him. Even as an urchin amid the ships of Pacifidlog, he was there. Diving for Clamperl. Jumping between fishing junks, and eventually ships that journeyed out to the ocean at large. He had been with her from the beginning, and now he was gone.
Stolen, by...
"Melody Miro," she recounts the name, to nobody in particular.
The rush of the wind muffles her voice. Even her Skarmory cannot hear her at first, but as the iron bird sets her down on the edge of the crater, looking out over the destruction wrought by war, she listens.
"I swear. I will kill you."
The bird coos, reassuring her. Hana places a hand on the bird's dented and scuffed armor, wounded by the Champion's Meowscarada. The Skarmory's heartbeat echoes in her chest, and Hana realizes just how wounded she is, blood trickling out between plates in her armor. The crimson feathers had hidden it, but it was a wonder she still stood.
"Yoshitsune... thanks... "
She looks down from the crater's edge, to see the results of all her 'hard work'...
