high_seas | The End

Who: Selphie and the Spades
Where: On the Sun
When: After all that stuff going on with Ace and the following rush/chaos. And after helping Aya with 'departing'.
What: Insane Spell Killing Spree
Warnings: Violence. And a seriously messed up Selphie.
Style: Any you prefer!
Status: Closed - Spades only. (Apart from Aya, because he's dead).

There was something about the way the thunder hit Aya that was very exciting. Dropped dead. And that voice in her head, the one that had been tormenting her for days, it seemed pleased. Urging her to do more. Didn't it feel wonderful? Wasn't she one step closer to getting everything she had ever wanted? Of course it was.

The strength of the spell was such that it probably didn't go unnoticed by the crew, the light a giveaway if nothing else. But now Selphie has a taste for it, there's going to be a lot more where that came from. Selphie skipped over Aya's body like she was playing a playground game - there was no sense in wasting time to hide it if everyone else was going to end up in the same way.

Selphie made her way to her room first, gathering up her nunchaku, and then the destruction began.

Thundaga, Blizzaga, Firaga. Thunder, ice, and fire, aimed at rooms, aimed at the kitchen, and they'd be aimed immediately at anyone she caught sight of. If it moved, it was targetted. Eventually out on deck, Selphie could be found giggling as she blasted fire around her, with every intent of watching the ship, and everyone else in it, burn.

((ooc: Do what you will with Selphie - you have my permission! Though killing her will only be an option for Ikki (d'aww romance). Be warned that she will not stop using spells until she is unconscious - be that provided for her, or if she herself passes out from exhaustion. She will stop at nothing. Enjoy! And any questions just plurk me or PM me or whatever! ^^)).

*It hurts, whatever force has hit her mind, her brain, it's agony. But it brings her back from the depths of something much worse, if only momentarily.

There's some distance between herself and Ikki, but Selphie runs quickly to close the gap, her eyes wide and wild with fear and confusion as she throws herself at him*

I-Ikki - what's happening? I can't help it - It's - You have to help me, please.

*Her voice is a hurried, desperate whisper, and she holds herself to him with a frightened grip, searching his eyes for some kind of help, or answer, wanting whatever was going on inside her head just to be over*

[He frowns even as she seems to return to herself.

Nothing.

No external Cosmo pulling back. No faint trace of a soul fleeing away from her. Whatever it's in her, it's still there.

It makes sense, really, he had only been feeling her Cosmo, not anyone's else. No strange mixture of energies in her. Just her. The same as always. Except that she's not the same, and he can't save her. He wonders if it would have made a difference had Athena being here, she had triumphed where he failed back when Shun was possessed, and though it hurt his pride, he would have done anything to have her doing a miracle again right now.]

[Ikki hugs her close when she throws herself at him, keeping her in place firmly even if he knows that won't stop that witch from taking her away from him. But that's okay. Because when the witch comes back to claim her again, he's just going to snatch her forever.]

It's okay. I won't let her force you to do anything else. It's not your fault.

But I can't make her go away completely.

[Not in a way that would really help Selphie.]

*Selphie makes a small choked noise, struggling back her tears. She lifts her face to him, swallowing hard, her eyes glazed over, and her hands clutched at him even tighter. Shaking slightly, she moves her hand up as if to touch his face*

I didn't mean to - I don't want to -

*But that scared, and loving look disappears and she pulls back her hand to slap it hard against his cheek. Her body twists and pulls as she tries to get away from him, needing distance before she can use her spells, almost growling in her anger and hate*

[He doesn't really feel the slap, or the struggles. He was ready for them, waiting for them so he meets them with all his strength, not allowing her to move even an inch from where she is.

Selphie's not there anymore, he knows it. But he still speaks as if she was. As if somehow his words can still reach her wherever she is.]

I know you don't want to.

[He presses her closer to him, strongly enough to hurt her but he doesn't care. It won't hurt her for long after all. He leans his head down towards her, whispering right in her ear.]

I love you.

[Then he burns his Cosmo, violently, suddenly, full of anger and hate, more than whatever fake anger and hate that witch may have instilled in Selphie. Ikki is anger and hate after all, he was forged in them, made to be them and even if he recovered enough to be normal again... He can still go back to that so easily that it's laughable.

His energy burns around them and the flames devour them whole. Both of them. Pure fire energy without control or restraint, just low enough to not actually make them both explode into dust, but it burns them both alive. He keeps her close to his body even as the fire consumes him as well, flesh tearing apart and burning as if mere paper. And the fire keeps burning in rampage but it still doesn't affect anything else but them, only leaving black traces on the ship's wood.]

*No matter how he speaks to her, his voice isn't getting through. Following her brief spell of normalcy, it's like the taunting voice in her head has come back with a vengeance. Or at least, it seems that way at first, the way her body keeps twisting and pulling.

Then she stops at that whisper, but it's not enough to bring her back. If anything, it makes her try even harder to pull away, her nails digging and clawing at his back, frantically doing what she can to be apart from him. She can't kill him if she's so painfully close.

The burning around her skin causes her to spasm and scream, though it doesn't seem to be her own, belong to someone, or something else instead. But soon she makes no sound, eyes and mouth open in horror, until they disappear completely in the flames*
