The wall became steam before reaching Eve, a testament to the flame's heat. Eve was still caught by the punch and her head was coated in frost when it snapped to the side. Eve fell onto her back and rolled with the strike to position herself properly, knife again emerging from her foot. With a diabolical grin, she launched a kick straight up at his crotch.

Arthur grinned when his attack connected. He calmly approached Eve with an ice sword. However, he was too sure of himself and didn't think that she had anything up her sleeve. Then her leg shot up.
A million voices cried out in unison, yet they produced no sound for they had yet to even be given bodies which could scream. A strange sensation rushed up into Arthur's stomach, as if all the liquid in his scrotum was trying to go up and escape from falling down the red waterfall between his legs. To call the sensation painful would be like comparing the prick of a needle to a chainsaw being pushed through your stomach.
Arthur fell to his knees, tears streaming down his cheeks. "I... I change my mind..." His voice was frail and he wheezed like his lungs were the ones that got pierced. Oh, if only they were. "Feel free... To pick on Martha... All you like..."

Eve smiled. "Will do. Little shit has caused me enough trouble." She swung her cannon to the immobilized Martha and fired. Martha's abdomen erupted, her scream lost among the sound of the cannon's fire. Martha stared down at her bare midriff in shock, where her guts were now making a bid for freedom. Her breaths became shallow and she made a low gurgle before she puked.
"Dammit, I was going for the head... her suffering is your fault for ruining my balance!" Eve scowled and waved her damaged arm at Arthur. She drew her leg back to kick his neck open when the window imploded, with every shard aimed for her face. She snarled and batted at them, giving a glare to the ruined Martha, who kept a glare fixed on Eve even as bile once more spilled from her lips. Eve just shrugged and made her delayed kick at Arthur's neck, blade still free.

Arthur rocked back and forth while struggling with nausea. Had Martha not protected him, he would have taken Eve's bootknife straight to the jugular. He tried to get up, but couldn't get off his knees. Eve's knife was headed straight for his neck again so he did the only thing he could think of right now. He leaned forward, dodging the knife, but receiving a kick to the head. He slid along the ground until crashing head first into a wall. The bells of the Notra Dame rang in his ears and the only thing keeping him conscious at this point was all the pain. If only he could get a second to gather his thoughts...

Eve loaded her cannon quickly, trying to keep an eye on both her assailants. Little pricks had made her use the cannon indoors. She'd have to fix the walls, have the room cleaned... She made a mental checklist. Her cannon was aimed carefully at Arthur's face when a sneaker clad foot struck it from the side. "Fuck you! You fucking... fuck! Die!" Martha snarled at her, guts pouring out from her demolished midsection and a gaping hole in her foot where she tore it from the ground. Eve roared and kicked her in her exposed intestines, causing her to wail and fall to her knees. Eve turned away and again got ready to implode Arthur's skull. When she turned her back, she felt an impact in the back of her knee, staggering her again. "Fine, fine! I'll kill you first!" Eve turned and glared into Martha's defiant eyes.

Arthur struggled to stand up, using the wall to prop himself up. In an attempt to calm down enough to heal himself up, he resorted to improvised meditation. He drew a rose again and again in his mind until he escaped the pain. It was gone for just a couple of second, but that was enough for a healing spell. Relief washed over him and he dropped to his knees, glad that it was finally over. Who knows, maybe he's still capable of having children after that.
Then he remembered that he was still in a fight and quickly got back on his feet. Right, he had it with pain. He encased himself in an armor of ice and created a large sword. "Alright, bitch! You know when I said you could pick on Martha? Well I changed my bloody mind! Go fuck yourself!" He charged at Eve with his sword pointed forward, attempting to run her through.

Eve half turned just in time for the sword to jab right through her own intestines. Her arm formed back into an actual arm to let a yellow grenade drop into her hand. It went off the next second with a thunderous blast of light and sound, blinding and deafening everybody in the room. The effect was sickening, and Martha fell to her knees. She could only smell and feel, and that was enough to know she was puking again. She was glad she couldn't see. She didn't need to know what her guts looked like when they were shooting bile from her maw. When she could see, she looked up from her puddle of vomit to find Eve vanished from the end of Arthur's sword. Where the hell had she gone? She gurgled some incomprehensible nonsense and tried to stand, needing to end this. Every moment was agony of a like even Marika couldn't give her, but that didn't matter. She just wanted to give Eve as much pain as she had given.

The flash blinded Arthur and by the time his sight came back enough for him to look around, Eve was gone. Martha was beaten up and vomiting now, so Arthur cast a healing spell to help her get ready for when Eve reappeared. And to help avoid sneak attacks, he activated Wolf's Soul. His nose was instantly assaulted by the stench of blood, guts, vomit and... Mint? Most of those odors were coming from Martha and the mint was too strong to be merely her shampoo. Perhaps he could ask her about that later. Right now, he uses his improved sense of smell and hearing to try and locate Eve.

Martha's guts slithered back into her abdomen and the wound slithered shut. She howled in agony when her skin stretched to close. She coughed and gagged, but there was nothing left to puke up. She clutched her stomach, feeling a scar that wasn't there before. Side effects aside, having her guts where they belonged was super comfy. Magic was crazy useful! She didn't stop to check how she was holding up now and darted her eyes around the room. Where the fuck did that big metal jerk go!? What the hell was she!?
She couldn't smell what Arthur could. What hummed below the reek Martha was giving off right now, there was something else entirely. Human by no means, but smelling of sex with them. Musky and smoky, gunpowder and steel over something utterly unrecognizable. It was hard to find under the vomit, but the trail lead to the window and down the alley.

"This way." Arthur said, running to the window. He leapt out and landed loudly, yet gracefully. He followed the scent of oil and metal. His icy armor slowed him down slightly and definitely didn't help him sneak up on the origin of the scent.

Martha's landing had none of Arthur's grace. She swore loudly and picked herself off the ground, glad she was as tough as the concrete she had faceplanted into. If her outfit wasn't ruined before, it was now by the grime of the alley. She had no idea how Arthur tracked the trail that now wound around the corner, out of sight from this spot in the alley.

Going around the corner? That was so obviously going to lead into an ambush of some sort. He created two shields, one for himself and another for Martha, just in case there was a cannon or something there. "Martha, watch our back." And he went around the corner.

When Arthur rounded the corner, Martha flew past him, ready to continue the battle. She found nothing there, same as Arthur. Buildings rose on three sides, the only exit the way they came in. The alley was a dead end, but it was empty. "What the fuck?" Martha looked around and saw the glint of metal above her an instant before the grenade landed and erupted in a blast of blue flame.

"I told you to watch the back!" Arthur yelled when Martha ran past him. He quickly turned around to make sure Eve didn't appear behind them. He sighed with relief when she wasn't there and turned towards Martha again just in time to see a familiar orb falling on front of them. He reacted quickly, encasing the grenade in an ice orb. The explosion shattered the orb, but the flames melted the shrapnel before Arthur had a reason to unsummon it himself.
"More fire?! Really?!" He looked up. "If you don't stop that, I'm going to have to change my mind about going easy on you!"

"Going easy? I had no idea you wanted to die so badly. It explains your poor performance." Eve was silhouetted against the bright sky, looking strange, like something was billowing behind her. "Come on up and end this. Keep the girl out of it. She's not ready for me and you know it." A metal goddesses' grin stood out shiny and chrome even among the shadow of her body. "Not ready!? You come down here and say that you rusted fuck!" Martha jumped up right at her, only to find herself thrown back down with twice the force by a tendril striking her across the face. "Sure, prove my point, twerp." Eve's grin continued and she aimed her cannon at the cloud of dust Martha's landing kicked up. "Now get up here and see if you can defeat me. It's the only way she's getting out of this alive."

This was not going to end well at this rate. But, Eve apparently wanted a one on one fight now, in an open area. For someone with Arthur's mobility, that was perfect. She was up to something. The very thought got Arthur excited."Fine, Eve! You want me to crush you that badly? I'll do it! Martha! You stay here. Calm down. We're gonna get some ice cream with Ariana after this." He added in a hushed voice. "Don't be obvious. Try to sneak up. Find a front entrance."
Arthur armor shattered and the shards formed wings on his back. He summoned Accel End and created an ice shield. With a flap of his mighty wings, Arthur propelled himself up to Eve's level and then some. Looking at her from above, he exclaimed: "Right! I'm gonna crush your legs and then I have some questions for you! Get ready for Who Wants to be a Millionaire, bitch!" The ground below Eve started freezing and the ice tried to spread on her legs. Arthur swung Accel End and a red orb flew out from its tip and headed straight for Eve, but at the last moment it curved and landed behind her. Another Arthur stood there now. He had an Accel End of his own and he swung for Eve's knees.

The instant Arthur passed Eve's altitude, the mass behind her became clear. Huntsman dove past Arthur and landed in front of Martha, an insectoid thing with fur and tentacles surrounding his mandibles. Martha stood and charged at once, only to be smashed away once more. "You... smell familiar." The creeping mass hissed.
Up above, Eve began backing up to avoid icing over, keeping in constant movement. The instant she saw the bolt arc behind her, she spun to face it in a defensive position. She only grew surprised when she saw that Arthur had somehow made another of himself, but like a true professional she reacted with her usual speed to deflect the strike the a blade popping from her knee before swinging her cannon arm like a bat at the side of the clone's head, using her momentum and the ice to spin in the original's direction and fire a cannonball straight for his face.

The cannon struck the clone in the temple and he ended up rolling across the floor. "Hmph." Arthur flew slightly to the side and dodged the cannonball. He pointed Accel End at Eve and another ball came out, only this time it was white. And then came another one and then another one. Three Frostballs, one aimed at her chest and the other two at her feet. The clone from before was already on his feet by this point and he went for her knees again.

Eve was knocked flat by the bursts of cold, making the knee strike redundant. She saw Huntsman jump up over the rim of the building, holding Martha in his jaws with a clearly broken back. "She's one of the little purple spider bitch's freaks! He's working with her now?" When his eyes roved to glare at Arthur, Martha's leg flew to kick him in the face. Unperturbed by his face caving in, tendrils extended to grapple her foot. "Good work Huntsman. Dissolve her if Arthur pulls any more moves." Eve smiled and leaned up to smirk at Arthur. "Now... what the hell is he talking about?"

The clone unsummoned his Accel End and put his hands on his hips. "I have no idea what he's talking about. We're just here to get revenge for Ariana." So his hunch was true. Martha is one of Marika's dolls.
Up above, Arthur's Accel End disappeared as well, his wings shattered and reformed into a bar stool beneath him and his shield turned into a floating platform that looked like a bar counter. He crossed his legs and leaned on the counter. "Oh, you want to talk now? If you expect me to answer your questions, you're naturally going to have to answer my questions, too. That is, unless you think you have the upper hand? If so, you are gravely mistaken."
"What he means to say is,we want to know why you tried killing Ariana?" The clone interjected. "You're not the first one to try that. Master of Games wanted to do the same. We want to know why. What is it that make you both so scared of a little girl that you think it's worth taking her life? You're both monsters, for fucks sake! What do you have to be afraid of?"
