[ 1 v 1 ] Tear ( Gene V Ripley)

[Carhop Cavalier]

Gene had begun patrolling the Haunted House on a more regular basis, incredibly antsy as she broached the subject of graduating in her mind. Beating on a few of the white coats would hopefully calm her tittering self, and maybe make her more ready for whatever would happen after graduation.  

[Enoh Love]

Ripley had been made to patrol the Haunted House for the first time since his run-in with the Horseman Shaheen. He was uncomfortable and on edge, and every step he took was careful, calculated, and silent. When he caught sight of the silver haired creature he paused, ducking back behind the large arch way in an attempt to watch her from a distance.
 

[Carhop Cavalier]

Gene was not a Reaper, but even she could tell when she saw a flash of white and gold cloth out the corner of her eye. A feral little growl bubbled inside her sternum, and her fingers became sharp little needles as she float stalked her way in the general direction of the coat.

"Mmm, did I see a rat around?" She hummed with fake cheer, eyes a dead grey as she scanned the room for any signs of human life. "Come on out little rodent, I won't hurt you~"  

[Enoh Love]

Damn. It was hard to tell where she was; the creature walked silently. No - wait, she wasn't walking at all? s**t. He had no idea how close she was until her voice rang out, the taunt thankfully alerting him to her presence. The Trainee waited, counting to three under his breath, and finally twisted from his hiding spot, sword in hand and already swinging.

Smiling wickedly, eyes still blank, the ghoul phased into the ground to evade the Hunter's sword. Peh, pathetic - using a student to attack another student. What was more pathetic was that, from what she'd heard, the students were willing to end up this way. They would become weapons to harm their own kin? Terrible.

Reaching up from the floor, the Doppelganger grabbed the man by his ankles and slammed him onto the floor. "Oh, I found the little rat." She cooed, before reappearing over him. "He's quite a large one."

"Only the psychotic talk to themselves like that." Ripley commented with a cough, regaining his breath after having it knocked out of him. His hands shifted, grabbing the sword hilt with both hands so he could swing it more firmly at her, trying to catch her in the side enough to get her to let him go.

Grunting at the Hunter's sudden strike back, the ghoul kicked out as she was tossed to the side, the tip of her boot nicking him in the chin. A large frown spread across her face, hair pushed back by a clawed hand.

"That is not how you touch a lady, young man."

"You stopped deserving chivalry when you attacked." The pale haired man explained as he rubbed his jaw, his voice a disapproving tsk. He raised his sword again, and took another swing - really just trying to keep her away from him.

"I don't need chivalry from the likes of you, anyway." The ghoul hissed, delivering a spinning kick to the man's ribs with a harsh grin drawn on her lips.

"Not when there's so much justice to dole out. You deserve this, you know."

"Then don't complain." The man scolded, his expression stoic. It was broken however, as the ghost landed a kick to his ribs, which was enough to make him stumble back with a gasp. "What makes you think that?" He gasped out, regaining his breath enough to take another swing at the ghoul, if only to make her keep her distance.


HP: 22/40

"What make me think that?!" The ghoul shrieked, face contorted and snarling. He had the gall? "Are you so stupid as to not know what you do to my people?! You kill us, turn us into your weapons, and then use us to kill our old friends and family! You capture us alive and study us and probe us like scientists to minipets! We're nothing to you but gnats to squash underfoot as you battle with the Horsemen, and a convenient means of fighting them!"

She lashed out with sharp claws, aiming for the face. "That is why I think justice needs served." She hissed as her claws connected, staring him straight in the eyes.

Ripley listened to the ghost rant, though there was a small space of time where he wasn't listening: it was around the time that he realized that he was speaking to a ghost. It was a novelty, and one he never imagined himself doing until this very moment.

His weapon, however, was very silent on the matter - but that wasn't a surprise to him. Wilhelm's affinity for silence was greater than Ripley's. The Trainee pulled his head back, trying to avoid the most of the damage of the claws suddenly against his face. His glasses were saved, but her claws raked through the flesh of his mouth and chin.

"I did this to you personally?" He mused, barely managing to keep his voice even through the first prickles of pain. Then one corner of his lip turned up into a small sneer. "You must have a better memory than I."

"Wilhelm." The trainee murmured to his partner, whose presence he could feel stirring in his head. FEAR began to gather around the two-toned sword in his gloved hands, until it was positively radiating with the alien energy. "Scream." He muttered affectionately, though rather amused, as he lashed out again, the charged energy biting through the ghost's centre.

Not given much time to react, Gene wasn't able to dodge the attack and ended up with her knees on the floor, clutching her stomach and glaring at Ripley. She growled, resting her forearm on one thigh as she breathed heavily, paralyzed momentarily by the strength of the FEAR in the last attacks.

"Not you, personally, but you're all guilty by association." She coughed, standing up shakily. "All you damned white coated swine are guilty of crimes against Halloween."

"So then, I should blame you for making me a Hunter?" Sure, this girl didn't look like a fire demon or whatever it was, but she was Halloween and by her own logic, was at fault for the events that ended in him standing here, with her, right now, in a battle.

He wouldn't have been otherwise, other world be damned.

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." He muttered. His sword swung towards her again, this time trying to keep her down. Despite her words, and despite all this flawed logic, he still had to survive, and it was his life on the he line, not hers.

Her flawed logic exposed, Gene stood stunned as the sword pushed her off the Hunter, a small yelp leaving her lips of it's own accord and snapping her back to attention.

Yes, they were fighting. He was at fault, she was at fault, everyone was at fault by the logic she was using. "But we don't kill you. We only scare, and only enough to make sure our home has enough energy. She attempted to reason, face still contorted in confused anger. "What your organization does is terrible! I understand fighting back against those who kill you, the Horsemen, but why target us as well? The majority of us don't ally with them - we just gave them a place to live is all. Wouldn't you do the same?" She questioned, accusing glare returning to her face as she reared back and threw a fist at the man's head.
