Another sigh.  Cocky as she tried to appear and confident as she felt, Chloe had to admit that she hadn't expected the little girl to give her this much trouble.  "Should've just left my head off..." she thought aloud as she watched the impossible death rushing towards her.  She turned back to Arokleth then and gave a neutral shrug before speaking.  "That's a shame.  Since what you seem to do reminds me of that guy, I thought there might be some connection between you and Tameko.  But wow, you're really going all out.  Well, I'm about to break the rules, so feel free to call back that guardian from before if you want to bother with it at this point."  And with that she removed her head once again, turned it so her head was facing upward and the back was cupped in both her hands, bent her knees, and hurled it straight up, mouth open once again.  It vanished with a crash and an audible "Om nom nom" into the ceiling of the hallway above just as her still-standing body went limp from the beam that crossed horizontally over it.  Then came the the purple bullets, driving through the corpse from both front and back and pinning it to the floor of the school.  It lay still, a puddle of its own blood pooling around it, as the armor had never been intended to stand up to such otherworldly attacks as this, and gave no sign that the Dullahan had survived once more.<br/><br/>Except for that faint "Om nom nom nom"-ing rapidly growing louder from overhead.  Steel wrenched and stone shattered between Chloe's pearly teeth as her head, now easily ten times its normal size, came eating back down.  There was a brief moment as it slipped back into view where her eyes and Arokleth's red optics seemed to meet, and then it vanished again, chewing a deep hole in the floor.  In her wake, the entire scene of the battle was gone. She'd eaten up the floor, her own body, the weird crystals, the tower, and all.  Even the light indicative of the tower's Reality Marble was no more.  It wasn't a spacial absence like what Arokleth had done, but simply a gigantic hole above and below, and in the walls to either side.<br/><br/>And then she was back, grinning as if nothing had happened, both hands of her somehow untouched body resting easily on the shoulders of the young girl she stood behind.  "I was right.  It<span style="font-style: italic">was</span>delicious.  And as I thought, you really are like that man.  So come on, can't you tell me anything?  Are you sure you don't remember seeing him?"  In her eyes there was eager hopefulness, as if thoughts of hearing good news were now more important to her than the battle.
