<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/JHjOLwC.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Vivienne "Vivi" Kajahara (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=257949.msg12739552#msg12739552)<br/><strong>Alias:</strong>Black Ranger<br/><strong>Time/Date:</strong>October 1st, early morning<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Athletic Centre Track<br/><strong>Mentions:</strong>N/A<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Kara<br/><hr/><br/>Lunging forward like a ferocious hellcat, Vivi managed to get her hands around either side of her assailant's head and got a firm grasp on the bitch's auburn hair right near the roots. Yanking down hard, Vivienne drew a pained yelp from the girl while causing her to stumble, nearly throwing her down to the grass as intended, but not quite. Whatever success she'd had with that maneuver, it was most likely just due to her foe being caught slightly off guard by the wild charge, because it became blatantly apparent over the following seconds that she was completely outmatched.<br/><br/>Out of nowhere, Vivi's adversary had planted her heels firmly into the ground and braced her muscles, rendering herself as immovable as a mountain. Her hands were suddenly slapped away with shocking force at the same time as a knee was rammed into her abdomen, instantly robbing her of all the air in her lungs. A second knee followed right after to really drive the point home. Having practically already been folded in half, Vivi doubled over and sunk to her knees while clutching at her stomach and gasping for breath.<br/><br/><em>She's too strong...what the fuck...is she trying to kill me?!</em>Her own thoughts sounded rather jumbled at the moment, but the<em>other</em>voice in her head somehow registered crystal clearly.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Lucida Console;"><em><strong>Hmphh!</strong></em></span>Lucifer (as she'd not-super-fondly dubbed him, for lack of any other name to use) scoffed haughtily,<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Lucida Console;"><em><strong>Piece that together all by yourself, did you?</strong></em></span>Normally, Vivienne would have had no problem firing back with an incisive chirp of her own, even if there was a distinct possibility that she'd be arguing with a figment of her own imagination, but she was currently a little preoccupied with trying to survive against the rampaging psycho who most definitely seemed out for her head. Beyond that, she could also vaguely overhear some other conversation happening in the background of her mind, but it was almost like listening to a TV that had been left on in a room down the hall, so she couldn't make out much of anything.<br/><br/>Despite feeling like several of her internal organs had just been rearranged, the rush of adrenaline pumping through her blood and her instinct for self preservation were thankfully enough to overpower it, at least for the short term. Rolling over on to her back, Vivi just managed to avoid a vicious kick which seemed intended to decapitate her, what little breath she'd managed to regain catching in her throat. Striking nothing but air, her assailant spun around and struggled with her balance briefly, giving Vivi an opportunity to crawl behind the girl and shoulder tackle the back of her knees. The idea had been to land on top, obviously, but instead she was the one who ended up pinned beneath psycho bitch's weight.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Lucida Console;"><em><strong>Is this what you call doing battle?</strong></em></span><br/><br/><em>Not exactly..?</em><br/><br/>Vivi tried digging her nails into the girl's thigh through the thin material of the yoga pants with some success, garnering an annoyed groan, however a couple of punches to her own face put an end to that. She pulled her arms back and tried using them to protect herself, but she couldn't do anything to actually escape her predicament, so it was just a matter of time before she'd get pummeled into unconsciousness or worse.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Lucida Console;"><em><strong>Even more inept than expected,</strong></em></span>Lucifer sighed with disdain.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Lucida Console;"><em><strong>Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for you, our fates have been inexorably linked.</strong></em></span><br/><br/>Panicked and confused, Vivienne could barely formulate a coherent thought, much less come up with a plan to save herself, which made it all the more startling when her hand seemed to move without any input from her, fingers unfurling just in time to catch the auburn-haired girl's fist. Then her free hand shot up with both power and precision, the heel of her palm striking directly against her assailant's chin and clearly stunning her. It still wasn't making any sense, but Vivi wasn't about to complain that she was finally doing the hitting instead of getting her ass beat. Her hips bucked up abruptly, throwing the other girl off of her.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Lucida Console;"><em><strong>Let us see what this heap of slowly decaying meat you call a body can do...</strong></em></span>the demonesque voice residing in her skull mused.<em>So sorry I couldn't be more accommodating.</em>A bitter growl rolled through her mind in guise of a reply. Friendly banter aside, the good news was that they both had a common enemy which Luci could take his frustrations out on. It was quite a bit unnerving to say the least, feeling like a passenger in her own body, but Vivi was going along with it for now.<br/><br/>Easing back into a slight crouch, she kept one hand raised around eye level and the other lower in front of her chest, both of them bent in a straight angle at the wrist with fingers stuck together and fully extended, like a pair of snakes ready to pounce. Even the way that she bounced on the balls of her feet and her posture in general was faintly sinuous as well as threatening.<br/><br/>When the hoodie-clad girl made her move, Vivi was forcefully 'guided' into ducking below the hook being thrown her way, spinning at the same time before delivering a hard chop behind her opponent's left knee. As that leg buckled, Vivi was already rising, jabbing her rigid fingers straight into the girl's throat. She clutched at her neck, opening herself up for a series of several more jabs, each one landing perfectly in the space between two of her ribs.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Vivienne was starting to get a better feel for what was happening to her. It was still mostly Luci allowing her to do all this martial arts stuff that she'd never learned herself, but she found that she could optimize her movements if she tried, kind of acting as a translator between her own body and the...entity who'd decided it was okay to hijack it. The roundhouse kick that she threw next was even more fluid and crisp than the jabs had been, and she didn't need to be an MMA champion to realize that Luci was intending it as a finisher. Even after the previous assault, her adversary still managed to raise a forearm which should have deflected the blow, if not for the fact that Vivienne's leg passed right through before reverting back to its tangible state just in time to connect with the girl's head.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Lucida Console;"><em><strong>Die already!</strong></em></span>The shout silenced Vivi's own thoughts as psycho bitch staggered to the side uneasily, but still refused to go down. Actually, the auburn-haired girl's eyes were seething with hatred, and it seemed like she was very much intent on trying to mount a comeback...at least until Kara appeared - literally just<em>appeared</em>- behind her out of nowhere, knocking her out cold with an elbow  to the back of the skull.<em>...That's a new one.</em><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Lucida Console;"><em><strong>DESTROY THEM!!</strong></em></span>Luci bellowed through Vivi's mind suddenly, and from the expression on Kara's face, she could be pretty certain her friend had heard it too.<strong>"So I'm not the only one hearing sociopathic voices?"</strong>She had to strain against her new buddy's considerable will just to keep from stomping over to the unconscious girl's and crushing their throat's under her heel.<strong>"I'm so relieved."</strong><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Lucida Console;"><em><strong>DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY!!!</strong></em></span><br/><br/><em>Would you settle down already? We're trying to have a conversation here.</em><br/><br/><strong>"So...you think they're hitwomen sent by one of the other schools to hurt our chances at winning the championship?"</strong>Glancing around through the grass, Vivi spotted her and Kara's phone and went to retrieve them, tossing the blonde's back over to her.<strong>"Also, we should probably get the hell out of here,"</strong>she added, nodding towards the small crowd who'd begun gathering on the opposite side of the track.<br/><br/>Feeling something warm and wet on her upper lip, Vivi poked her tongue out and tasted the familiar, slightly metallic taste of her own blood which was trickling down from her nose.<strong>"Oooh, one sec!"</strong>She stopped, struck a cool, nonchalant pose and took a super badass selfie.
