Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

[cross_grave]

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

"I'm starting to think I would like to hurt someone." Razzie replied to Hana's taunts. The pounding headache certainly wasn't improving things, though thankfully it went away after a while. Unfortunately, that was a really long while, and by the time the pain was over she was well past annoyed and moving quickly through furious to homicidal. That being said, she was not quite prepared for the sight that appeared in front of her just as they were nearing dawn.

"What." Darkstar muttered as she glanced at the... Thing in front of her. A mushroom woman, sprouting out of nowhere on their path. Was it a trap? Did they simply disturb it's rest? It was hard to say. Still, as willing as she was to inflict pain and suffering upon other lifeforms for the crime of not sharing her suffering, Razzie wanted to have an excuse for punching first. Thing just got so much more complicated when you didn't have... What was it called again? Ah yes, 'due cause'. Or something like that.

"Oy." She spoke to the matango in front of them. It was a monster, so it probably at least understood speech, right? "We're gonna pass here. That a problem?"

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

"I'm gonna make a mushroom grow on your head!" Announced the Matango. "And then we'll be sisters! Prepare to be assimilated!" she declared, before seeming to begin her attack.

"Fusion!" Hana announced, trying to jump into Razzie.

The Matango uprooted herself from the ground, showing two functioning legs as she prepared to fight.

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

"Dandy, get back!" Razzie barked out quickly as she saw the mushroom woman make her move. Letting Hana possess her, the girl adopted an expression you generally wouldn't want to see on the face of someone who might have just taken offense to you. "Alright, you freak." She growled out, preparing to take to the battlefield. "If that's how you want to play, we're going to ANNIHILATE you!" She shouted, already taking point. "Hana, we're gonna throw her off first! The same thing you did to Akitsu before!" Darkstar commanded, referring to the first battle between the skeleton and the ghost.

((Hana - Twirl, Get Brave))

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

Hana and Razzie rushed in towards the matango, attempting to twirl about, before the mushroom tucked her head forward and used it like a shovel, her mushroom top flipping Hana and Razzie overhead and causing them to fly over her before Razzie landed on her face on the ground. Miss!

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

Razzie rose from the ground with a growl, adrenaline and rage dulling the pain somewhat. Hana's power coursing through her body also helped with that too. "Alright, maybe I am not built for that." She muttered, briefly considering her options. Perhaps she could try one more time before her opponent retaliated, but if it failed again it'd only be a waste of time. On the other hand, if it worked out, perhaps this would tip the scales in her favor. She quickly weighed her chances, then spat out a vile curse.

"Alright then, let's try one last time." Darkstar steadied herself. She had to get it right this time, otherwise she was pretty much stuck fighting at a disadvantage. This was starting to become complicated, she had to end it quickly while there was still a chance to end the battle without any real damage. One last time to get her tactic to work, after that she'd have no choice but to change her battle plan.

((Same as above.))

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

Rushing in a second time after being tossed up, Razzie used Hana's tail to dodge around the matango's attempt to flip her a second time, and with a quick spiral, sent the matango spinning dizzily while Razzie felt a little dizzy herself as a result. The matango lost 25 guts

"Waaaaooooh-!" The matango whined as she was sent for a spin.

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

The grimace of hate and concentration that set itself upon Razzie's features a mere moment ago vanished as soon as she completed her manouver. It was quickly replaced by a bloodthirsty grin. With her opponent temporarily thrown off, she would have a clean chance to strike without worrying too much about direct retaliation. "Alright! Let's go all out on this one, Hana!" She braced herself, preparing to bring out another one of the spirit's abilities - the deadly Kitsune Beam.

((Hana - All Out, LAZORS))

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

While the matango was still spinning, Razzie felt energy build up in her hand from Hana's soul. All the condensed energy felt ready to explode before she directed her hand at the mushroom, and fired a straight purple beam that blasted the mushroom back. "Hot! Ow!" she whined. Razzie dealt 30 damage!

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

"Heh. That seems to be working well." Razzie was starting to feel confident about her chances of ending the battle without taking a hit once more. If she kept this up, she could theoretically end up locking the matango in a loop of getting disoriented and blasted repeatedly. Though she was beginning to have a feeling that the mamono wouldn't last more than one, maybe two hits. She briefly considered just trying to go for a finishing blow, but decided to play it safe. "Alright, one more time!"

She rushed forward, preparing to daze the mushroom girl again.

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

Razzie came at the matango, spinning Hana's ethereal tail at it!

The matango dodged out of the way!

Razzie followed up, chasing the matango further!

Razzie once again missed the evasive Matango!

"Damn it, this mushroom is stupid!" Hana cursed, Razzie's own mouth and voice communicating her anger.

Hana is Reckless!

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

"Aaaaargh!" Razzie growled in unison with her partner, getting mad. How could a fucking mushroom be so goddamn agile? This was absurd. "Enough of this bullshit! We're ending it here and now!" She realized she'd probably just get hit at this point, but she didn't care anymore. This was taking too long already. "Hana! Let's blast her into little pieces!"

((Hana - Beam, All Out))

 

[Mamono Assault Force]

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

As it turns out, the cap on the matango's head was detachable! She took it off, and flung it at Razzie!

The matango hit Razzie for 38 damage!

The impact felt like it hit harder than Razzie felt that it did. Hana's power seemingly absorbing most of the shock, teaching her more about a mamono's resilience.

Then came Razzie's counter attack! Hana's tail rounded around Razzie's hip, firing a beam forth from the tip of her tail at the mushroom.

Razzie dealt 35 damage!

The matango fell the ground, unconscious.

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

Razzie let out a load groan as she got hit. Fortunately for her, it seemed that some of Hana's endurance had been passed on to her, allowing her to remain standing after the blow. She felt that without the ghost's help, the hit would have been very bad for her. Still, this reminded her of how the kitsune managed to recover after the beating Akitsu gave her - her resilience was nothing to laugh at. And this gave her the opening she needed to land the final blow as well.

"Drop dead!" With a loud cry, Darkstar let Hana strike. A beam of magic force rippled through the air and hit the matango, bringing her down. Granted, she'd be up and about sooner rather than later, but for now she was out cold and out of the way. "Alright..." She spoke after regaining her breath. "That's one idiot that won't bother us for a while." The rancher sighed. While she was loathe to leave it where it could attack someone again, she didn't exactly have time to deal with her. "I think we should better move on before she wakes up and starts being stupid again."

 

[Mamono Assault Force]

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

Then the trip continued, until morning came. Akitsu picked out a dark place to sleep until the next dusk. While at their camp, Dandy looked increasingly bothered about the idea of meeting her parents, whom she couldn't remember at all.

While Dandy pouted, a request actually came from Hana. "Razzie... It's obvious that I'm a spirit. I don't have the physical substance you do, so... Can you let me have sex in your body?" she requested.

 

[cross_grave]

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

"Huh?" Razzie paused a moment to compute the sudden request. With mamono being massive perverts in most of the cases, it kinda made sense that their needs would include a lot of sex. And with Hana being a ghost, she didn't have much of a chance of doing anything without a host. And her best bet was the girl that was her rancher. Which still could raise all sorts of problems.

"Wait a sec, not right now you mean?" Darkstar started, still wrapping her head around the idea. Well, she couldn't exactly deny someone sex after she had some - twice, even - but she had to make sure she got the request right, or so she said to herself. "I mean, there ain't exactly anyone suitable around here..." She sighed, mentally debating the issue. This was akin to being asked if she was ok with threesomes, essentially. On the other hand, she was obliged to take care of her mamono. "... But I guess it's ok if an occasion comes. Just don't overdo it, ok? Some people might be willing to accept a possessed partner if she doesn't pull weird stunts."

 

[Mamono Assault Force]

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

"No, not right now. Just... Maybe when we get back? I talked with Akitsu, and she suggested the perfect time is right when we get back, because you and her were going to do something." Hana revealed excitedly. "I just..." Hana grinned lecherously. "I can't get over the idea of swallowing up a nice, big cock inside of me, and milking it raw until my pussy's full of his cum."

That much Razzie would know. While Hana is inside of her, Razzie always feels her sex drive shoot through the limit, to the point where she'd feel horny and ready for sex if something sexual is even mentioned.

 

[cross_grave]

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

"Dear god." Razzie groaned, once again reminded of Akitsu's revenge and growing increasingly wary of how it might end. She was glad that Hana wasn't joined with her at the moment, salivating over the possible mental images was the last thing she needed. Still... "All right, you can join. I just wish Akitsu would not mention this to anyone else. Which is not going to happen, considering how things seem to be developing."

 

[Mamono Assault Force]

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

"We had our differences, but I feel like me and Akitsu are getting along more!" Hana said with a smile. "Thanks, Razzie. You're not bad, for a human." the fox spirit said with a small canine grin.

Then, Razzie was free to speak with her mamono, or get some sleep during the daylight.

 

[cross_grave]

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

"Thanks." Razzie accepted the compliment with a small chuckle. She felt as if she was beginning to understand the warnings she got once from Logan a bit better. Hopefully this wouldn't get to the point where the two of them plotted together - she wasn't sure she would be able to manage the two of them pulling one on her at the same time. Still, maybe they wouldn't be as bad as she worried. Though Akitsu would likely forever remain a problematic one.

Having some free time, Darkstar wondered what to do. Akitsu went to sleep, so that was one less person she could bother. Dandy, on the other hand, seemed to be doing really well with bothering herself, most likely about the impending visit. Moving over to the little zombie, Razzie decided it was probably a good idea to see how she was doing. "Yo, Dandy." The rancher started. "Liking the road so far?"

 

[Mamono Assault Force]

Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)

Dandy looked a bit uncertain as to how to answer Razzie's question. She squirmed a bit, but quickly enough seemed to think against putting mental effort into her answer. "I guess..." she replied, before going silent as she went over what she was mulling about again. "Razzie... I've been feeling hungry lately... The food doesn't really make it go away, and it's different... Like... I-I just wanna attack something... It's making me more nervous about meeting my parents..." she said, revealing the mamono hunger building in her body.
