'How does it feel to be different?' [Dioxide x Caits]

Gershwin was in pain but there was no mistaking that her powers were not helping her in storming through it and making her stronger. Why had her powers activated before when she had nightmares? Her dreams showed a being that was so like her but was different in so many ways - everything that Gershwin was, except the very concept of her existence flipped and it was coupled with every evil manifest for pain, disease, all that is not good in this world.

What little did Gershwin know was the more pain she took, physical or mental, in any way at all, it is not through sheer will via her powers that she lives; it is bringing out her other side. If Cody was the Angel, Gershwin was the Devil... But if Gershin was the Angel... this was the Devil.

Gershwin's mind broke slowly but surely until she gave out... and in her place was her counterpart. Pure pain and terror.

The insectoid form she had taken grew back, stronger, tougher, uglier, and it began to tear through everyone. Gershwin had rage before, and was single-handedly responsible for the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands. This was an even more ruthless version of her manifestation. It did not stand her ground. It ravaged through everything, pouncing and flying, spitting and gnawing, grabbing and piercing and tearing. It played with the Stone Army like toys, and it had no confines, no inhibitions, no reservations on attacking whomever and whatever.

Cody was there to watch, and from behind him, a giant, enormous, hectare-sized hand made of stone was crashing down onto him. The thing that's replaced Gershwin saw the hand... and leapt for it.

I'm sorry I can't post for at least a few more days. I've been busy: the other RP's most recent post might as well be a novella, and I have to deal with financial stuff which is freaking me out. I hate adulting

I'd been waiting so long to finally post that bit: Gershwin's weakness!

Anyway, please feel free to post at any time. I will be in Thailand from 31/5 to 7/6 so I might not be posting at all. :)

Thy's eyes burned but he had closed his eyes on time. There was no damage but all he could see, for now, was white. In a burst of power, tall, towering, sharp spikes shot out from the ground. Quick, jagged, and huge. It's hard to remember that there is so much earth under the surface which would make feats like this possible. Entire terra-ecoystems were being played with just at the hands of a little boy. These spikes then became squid-like tendrils and swung around the air and above the ground, weaving past around Thy, and just as crazy around him. Tendrils spun around him in a protective, living armour. He spun the tendrils crazily, hoping to kill the being.

Dara was deep underneath the ground but she was not uncomfortable. Her brother made it so if need be, she could live there long enough, save for hunger and thirst. Dara was safe, and her location was completely unknown, yet her mind was powerful and encompassing. It sought for the insectoid being that was somehow stopping her Stone Army. Dara's mind sensed the soul of the being and realized that it was human. Unbelievable. So much pain... so much anger....

ENOUGH. IS. ENOUGH.

Dara's mental blast was piercing and strong, and she knew it had an effect on the insect. It was dying.

...What is this!? Gershwin felt a sense of pain, the likes of which she had never felt before. It was agonizing, and it felt like the pain was getting worse but her powers were not getting any strong. She was failing. She was falling. The towering, disgusting mass that had held off the Stone Army for so long was struggling and her strength and durability was now being overtaken by the massive number of soldiers.

Gershwin screamed her insect-like, monstrous scream, but there was a hint of human in that cry for help that begged someone to save her life.

If it doesn't involve Kannix spontaneously combusting, then I'm rejecting it.

@Mr Allen J

Now that would be out of character ;)

Thy was fierce in his stance and just as volatile and aggressive in mind. He could not understand this bastard's tongue. He could be making fun of him right now! Making fun of him! Him!, a literal being of amazing power! He'll show him! He'll squash the bastard!

To have such awesome power in a person who knew how to control it was dangerous. To have such awesome power in a child who still has no complete grasp of what he was capable of.... was reckless. Thy could feel his control of the Earth was absolute, and with a swoop of his hand, he would summon the Earth to roll like a wave of water, the soil and hard earth becoming so smooth and liquid. Then he swept again, and again, and again. Soon, dozens of waves were coming for the bastard, each sharper, harder, and bigger.

It's tough, isn't it? I experienced a situation so similar before, that it hurt when I empathized with the other person. He and I did not speak the same language, but I knew the boy was lost looking for his family. I tried to help, but I felt so helpless
