The Mailed Fist (Ask)

[Triune]

*His growl grows as witha twist he seperates the blades from one double weapon to two singles. With a slash he slices the straps holding her top on cleanly from her without so much as a knick of flesh then brings the blade against her jawline*

"So is this what fuels your ardor? The threat of death? The touch of a blade?" He steps closer to her, his own breathing heavy as he towers over her. "Is this what you crave?" His growl was gruff and laden with furvor.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She doesn't even flench as he slices off her top and it flutters to the ground. The feel of cold metal against her jawline causes her breath to catch and her heart to beat wildly against her chest. She stood there before him completely naked save the straps holding her weapons to her thighs and her boots. When she speaks, it is so laced with passion and deep with seduction, she barely recognizes it.*

"What better power than to hold the life of another at the tip of your blade and know you could end them quickly or slowly. You know this battle lust as well as I. It courses through your veins filling your senses with complete euphoria. Fighting from the days of old. Glory achieved on the battlefield and not at the hand of one as a servant. You remember these times don't you, Barzai?"

*He is so close she can feel the heat off of him and smell him close to her. He had no fear of her. Seeing one stand up to her so turned her on so. Her gloved hand reaches out to his chest and moves up it towards his neck*

[Triune]

*He releases his hold on the lower weapon and pushes her back against the wall, his hand grabbing her wrist. The other hand holding the blade, lowering it to caress her bare side*

"I remember every battle, every moment, every instant of the fury." He growls just before kissing her with savageness, even as he does this he slices the waist harness, letting the very edge of the blade crease her skin without cutting it.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*A moan escapes again as he brings the cold blade to her side caressing it. She was furious at him taking her hand away before she could deliver the poison, but quickly that was forgotten as he kissed her. She furrows her eyebrows as she returns his kiss with burning passion. She arched into him as he cut off the harness holding her weapons to her thighs and they clattered to the floor. Her free hand dug into the flesh of his back as another moan escaped her chest. Selae was completely lost in the moment.*

[Triune]

*He lifted her from the ground, pulling her up against him, the kiss so primal his growl vibrated from him through her flesh. Bringing the blade almost caressingly up her back he knelt down laying her atop bails of cloth waiting for shipment. Finally he breaks the kiss and glares down at her, his heart pounding so hard that it shakes them both*

"This does not mean my hate for you is dimmed only that I deny the chemistry no longer!" He snarls and before she can answer he kisses her again, never letting go of her or the blade.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*His hatred for her only fueled her passion more towards him. The fact that they both wanted this no matter what their differences. The combining of two into one flesh fueled only by total desire and wanton lust. If she had tried to get away from him, she couldn't. His grip on her was too tight and she didn't want to either. She could kill him easily in his sleep. Her gloved hand fought to free itself from his grip so she could caress his flesh. As he pressed into her, the blade dug into her back causing her to gasp with pain and pleasure. It heightened the sensations and drove her further towards total ecstacy.*

[Triune]

*He finally lets go of her wrist, that hand entwining into her hair as his lusts grow in fury and furvor, he hated her but could not deny this. The Blade slid along her flesh as his growls deepened with force and intensity.*

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*One thing about Selae is her love for being in control. Around this man, she had none. Her freed gloved hand moves up to his neck and scratches the skin as her ungloved hand caressed his back. The needle like fingernails break his skin delivering what was left of the toxin. She had meant to plunge the needle like nails into his flesh but as the sword moved across her skin his passion drove her beyond rationale. Her mind was struggling to hold on to her senses as her body responded to his every touch and desire. It was taking all of her will to deny total submission to him. Breathlessly, she looks him in the eyes and speaks to him.*

"Goodbye, Barzai."

*Little did she know just how resistent Barzai was to the toxin and just how little had been administered. She would find out soon though.*

[Triune]

*He doesn't hear her words, instead this brief pause in the kiss is spent gathering air as he tugs on her hair pulling her head back as his teeth grind into her skin, his heart pumps the toxins into his system, the long dormant ring-like muscle-glands around the arteries and veins near his heart begin to pulsate, bringing to functionality the hidden source of his vaunted immunities. Predatory nano-life forms spur into activity to seek out the toxin and destroy it. This was their turf and no outsider was going to do a thing to their home town. The rumble in the tunnels was on. Barzai began to feel ill, pulling away from her he staggers to his feet, moving down the alley to wretch and heave.*

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She chuckled as she watched him and tried hard to calm her rapidly beating heart. She was more certain Kyra must die now. The beast of a man Barzai was dealt with...soon all he loved and held dear would be gone. All that would remain would be Selae. Getting to her feet, she looked back at him one more time and ripped the braided strand of hair from around her neck as she threw it to the ground and jumped up onto the rooftops disappearing into the night.*

[Triune]

*In Barzai's body the battle raged, genetic toxins vs his hyper-effective predatory immune system. He heaved again as his skin began to burn and itch. He knew he'd been poisoned and that infuriated him. He gathered himself and with an adrenal-charged leap he gave chase.*

"SELAE!" He bellowed hurling a piece of the cornice of the building at her, true a small piece only the size of his fist and aimed at her legs.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She had forgotten how well the Danthiri could see in the dark. His tribal yell of her name only caused her to chuckle. She was about to leap to another rooftop when the rock slammed into her right leg knocking it out from under her; she had lost her footing. Selae went sliding down the side of the roof and over the edge of the building. Landing hard on her left side, she struggled to pull herself up and get away before the crazed beast of a man tore her limb for limb. Each movement sent waves of pain through her body. She scooted into one of the far corners and pulled her blaster out. When he dropped down, she would shoot him and end this madness.*

[Triune]

*He prowled across the rooftops pausing to shudder as sweat poured off of him. This poison was strong he thought. Little did he know of the war raging in his body, the genetically created toxin struggling to survive and fullfill its goals against the predatory nature of his immune system. He shook his gaze clear of the double vision and bounded to the next roof, his leap was off and he slammed sideways into the roof, he felt the ragged tiles dig into his back as spasms took him and he slid down to keel off to the ground with shuddering thud, the skin over his back ripped in a long gash from shoulderblades to lower back, though no blood seemed to be oozing free.*

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She scoots out of the corner as she sees the condition he's in. Getting to her feet in a grunt of pain, she limps towards him and keeps her blaster out. She kicks him in the low back area and points the blaster barrel right at his head.*

"Funny thing about toxins is that the more you exert yourself the faster it moves through your bloodstream. How does it feel to be brought down low again, Barzai? Wasn't this how your precious Adesia beat you in a fighting match? I am amazed at how well it is working though. Much faster than the humans I tested it on. Fascinating."

*She chuckles as she steps over him and kneels down before his face. Selae tilts her head as she watches him and makes a mocking pouty face.*

"Is the great beast man not feeling well? Feel like tiny bugs are crawling beneath your flesh? I bet you want to rip it off don't you. Do it. Feel the relief."

[Triune]

*His whole face seems to sag as he looks at her, instinctively he pulls back as best as he can, his hand pulling at his own hair. The wound over his shoulderblades rip and he falls back his face and upperbody shucked of himself lies before her. Beneath the layer of skin she now holds is a smooth almost darker skinned Barzai, lacking hair of any sort as he lays on his back gasping for air amidst the shudders*
