[Episode 106194] [Episode 106194]Looking into the portals of hell that had replaced Eilistraee’s eyes, Ranma almost felt fear.
Slapping his trademark smirk on his face he casually replied, “You have her eyes.”
Screaming in incoherent rage she attacked.
Ranma spent his remaining Ki like water. Dodging and blocking he led her into the spiral.
He could feel the muscles in his legs tear as he forced them to move beyond anything he had tried before, only to heal just as quickly as the river that was his ki poured into them.
Eilistraee was know as The Dancer for the way her fighting style moved, disguising the moves themselves as a dance.
The dance was forgotten as she attacked, doing her level best in her rage to flay the flesh from his bones with the edge of her blade.
Ranma learned her style without a thought as he blocked and deflected her blade. Each and every lesson cost him in blood and flesh as his shirt became red once more, covered in his own blood as it froze upon contact with the air.
The ringing of the blade, as he hammered at it with his fists, sounded like the beginnings of a song and he seemed to relish each note.
His voice could barely be heard above the wind that was generated from their movement alone. Two blurs spun through the yard in an ever decreasing spiral as he sang ‘The Tomboy Song’ to her.
He could feel death looming as his life was burned to fuel his movements.
Every drop of ki he had was burning through him… and burning him out.
He reached the center of the spiral as two new figures appeared rising from the pond. A woman dressed in black leather with long black hair and pale skin and a dusky skinned woman in levis with shoulder length brown hair.
He found his eyes drawn to theirs as something indefinable seemed to pass between them.
He could feel a sense of familiarity and comfort from them, like they were old and true friends. He paid for his nano-second of inattention as Eilistraee rammed her sword through him.
“You lose mortal.”
Twin gasps of shock and horror drew her attention to the arrival of Eris and Bast as the sudden reality of her actions hit her full force. What had happened to her? What had she done?
Starring at the blood covering her hands and the way Ranma was still grinning at her, even with her sword sheathed in his flesh, she raised her eyes to meet his slitted pupils.
‘Slitted pupils?’
Ranma spoke quietly, almost a whisper. “Ranma Satome doesn’t lose.”
He brought his right hand around into a bitch slap that carved three parallel into her cheek and slammed her onto her ass a full three feet from him as his voice rose into a lion’s roar “Hiryu Shoten Ha!”
The light dimmed in his eyes as he watched Eilistraee get sucked up into the funnel. Slowly his eyes closed and he sank to his knees.
