The Bunker of "Safety"
[You find yourself in a large stone room. It has enough room to stand up, even for the tallest, and plenty of space to walk around. Likely Donnie absolutely exploded the insides of this rocky area to make this much space. The walls and corners are cut cleanly thanks to his mystic tools.]
[In the ceiling, recessed with some metal holders are crystals that shine with a warm light. A magic sunlamp.]
[There are a few inches of water on the floor, and probably most impressively is he's managed to make it so the water cycles through to the ceiling to make a light waterfall across all the walls. There are some polished boulders that provide some dry spots in the room.]
[But do make it very hard to try and write or carve things onto any surface in the room.]
[There is also a door with no handle on this side. It's half slid into the stone and has a metal cover, though any investigation will reveal the door is very thick, so probably stone makes up its center.]
[When people being dropped off]
[They can tell Donnie is coming back because the wall with the door is suddenly covered in a purple pink wall that will be shoving them across the room to push them away from the door. Then he'll open the door and drop off the person he's caught, or the food for people.]
[Each time the wall comes up, almost everytime, the walls seem to be getting...pinker.]
[Just for you guys: The Things Donnie is collecting from his connections for all this nonsense]
-Space Titanium to make Fabrications stronger from Korone
-His strength Plus Korone's strength when she's nearby until she bites someone else.
-Glyphs from Hunter
-Ninpo is always a thing
-Kraang things from Danger Memories
-Sedatives, so many sedatives
-Randy's orbment which comes with tech magic like FIRE, strength buffs under conditions, up his crit range for harder hits, makes him faster.
-Crow's guns

Some tentacles she dodges. Others she slashes through, featherblades flashing and whirling with a precision that belies how both blind and how super fucking boned she knows she is.
With the tentacles as a guide, she flings her shield at him again. Keeps flinging it, aiming as best she can, as fast as she can. No reprieve for Yanatello! — but then a few things happen at once.
The shield glitches. Shatters, vanishing into sparkling gold. A tentacle wraps tight around one wrist. She wrenches against it with a snarl, not caring if it hurts, and she tries to cut herself free only for another tentacle to stop her short.
And
They're going for her neck.
The chain is short. Way too short to pull over her head, and it's more than strong enough that he won't be able to snap it. He can actually feel that the pendant itself is resisting him. Still too close. Still too much. Nope. Nope nope no no no, fuck this, no. She gathers herself, grits her teeth, and ports —
Except no. She doesn't. The moment she draws on her magic — yanks on it, more like, fuelled by fury and sudden desperation — she drops like a rock with an echoing cry of pain, both swords tumble from hands gone suddenly nerveless. She's not out, she's not unconscious; the pendant is still being stubborn and she's already fighting to pull herself back together, but she's definitely dazed. It hurts it hurts it hurts - ]
no subject
[Others try shoving the shield away, but he also accepts taking the hits because he knows he can take them, and is willing to do so in a way that is certainly out of his character.]
[There's more bruises left behind with the bleeding nose, which at least that blood is red, but there is a single minded determination to get at her.]
[While still not doing much to hurt her. At least with the way the tentacles dig into stone, they could be doing more damage.]
[And then she's down and he freezes.]
[One beat. Two.]
That's ten. [He drops down to the water and moves to her.] Don't you dare, Korone-san, you don't push soul magic past it's limit. [He's moving to kneels beside her, moving to grab her pendant off.]
no subject
doesn't
budge
Not even a little. The same magic that brought it back to her after he stole it the first time is working overtime now, keeping it close. Nevermind that it hurts, nevermind that the chain is digging in, nevermind that her head feels like it's trapped in a vice, nevermind the nausea and the rushing pounding pulsing shrieking in her ears. She won't let go. She won't. ]
You — think I'll make it that, that easy for you? [ Bares her teeth in a facsimile of a smile. A spot of blood drips from her nose. ] F-Fuck. That.
[ GUESS WHAT, FOLKS
IT'S CATATELLO O'CLOCK AGAIN
Just ignore Korone's strangled whine of agony as her headache ramps up to eleven, twelve, twenty. She kicks against the floor, trying to wrench away from the tentacles regardless of how much it might hurt. If she breaks free, she'll scramble for her swords — if not, she'll keep trying anyway.
Either way, Frog Materia might hold for a whole five seconds this time. Wowee. ]
no subject
Koro-
[Except then he's a cat AGAIN.]
[There is a hissing sound, as the real tentalces disappear from around her, but he's quick to move the light ones around her, jerking her away from her swords. Well, one of them, she managed to grab one before he had a firm grip.]
[There is a rolling growl from this cat and he needs her to stop, he needs her to stop-]
[....ah, that is an idea.]
[Popping back to normal.] You're being an idiot, Korone-san.
no subject
Whips back around like a striking snake to sever yet more of those tentacles!! She's clumsier now but decidedly more vicious; she's well past the point of caring if a stray strike hits Donnie himself.
And she just. Tries to drag herself away. She won't get far if she even makes it anywhere at all, but she is TRYING. ]
Go to hell-
no subject
[There's more damage to tentacles, forcing them away, more of the pink blood hitting the water.]
[He moves closer quite suddenly, his hand reaching for the necklace, and while the scute do their job, they don't let the blade pierce him, his shoulders are a lot less protected now.]
[He]
[Doesn't seem like he was even trying to dodge as he lets the blade dig deep into his shoulder, biting back a grunt of pain, but he's still going for the necklace regardless.]
no subject
She lashes out with a kick at his chest, and
she doesn't think
Just tries to bite his hand, his wrist, whatever she can get at. There won't be any transfer of power though; that's very much with Eve. ]
no subject
[He has to be cruel, he knows.]
[He lets her bite, the hand of his injured arm grabbing her upper arm, and leans in close.]
It hurts, Chocochi- [And he lets the pain bleed into his voice as he speaks into her ear.]
no subject
Chocochi
Her grip on the sword falters. She doesn't pull it back, but she's not striving forward with it anymore. He can feel the violent tremor in her hands.
She shakes her head, While still biting him. That probably sucks, sorry not sorry. ]
no subject
[A few extra slither out to where his stuff is, and is going to wrap around the shield and start squeezing it.]
[He gasps out in pain, his own form shaking because it does hurt and he knows trying to keep control of his reactions won't get what he wants.]
Its all right if you hurt me. I understand. I'm not going to hurt you though. I never want to hurt you.
no subject
The tremor gets worse. She doesn't mean to pull the sword back, but she's starting to lose grip on it. Whether from exhaustion or because he's getting to her, it's hard to say.
The one thing that doesn't waver is the shield. Unlike most of the rest of her spells today, this one worked exactly as intended - it won't fall until she does, no matter what he throws at it ]
no subject
[Considering she has tasted his blood, there is something about it that tastes a little different. Wrong.]
[Like a taint that's growing.]
I can't keep letting you hurt yourself more. Even if it means letting you stab me, I can't let that happen. [His hand moves up from her arm now, reaching for her necklace.] I'd rather let you kill me then to watch you destroy yourself.
no subject
wrong
blood is always gross but this, this is worse. she gags, choking on it, and pulls away to cough. the sword drops to the floor. ]
D—Donnie—
[ the panicked staticky screaming is getting louder. blood in her mouth. hard to breathe. she grabs for his wrist, tries to pry him off, but she's starting to hyperventilate and that really puts a damper on doing much of anything, doesn't it? ]
[ at least she's still keeping a "grip" on the necklace. it's the one true lifeline she has left. hold on. just hold on. hold on hold on hold on hold on don't let him have it don't let him take it hold on hold on hold on ]
no subject
[He would need to figure things out. He knew the bunker was still in Beta, its fine. He has all the time in the world to perfect it.]
I know you don't want to fight anymore, Choco-chan. You're hurting. You don't like hurting others. Just let me keep you safe. You can lash out if it makes you feel better, but I don't think it is anymore.
no subject
She can't fight anymore. She's all but stopped trying, merely gripping his hand rather than prying at it.
But she can't surrender, either.
She tries to breathe. In and out, that's it. There's air. There's plenty of air, she can breathe. It takes a hot goddamn minute but she's clawing her way back from the panic attack one ragged, hitching breath at a time. In... and out... in... and out ...
Her eyes crack open. Still clouded and now flooded with tears, but. If those gross Kraang eyes of his happen to look, they'll see it, plain as day, like the sun breaking through a storm:
Resolve. Determination. Spite.
Can she win? No. Is she going to let him? Abso-fucking-lutely not. ]
no subject
[The Kraang eyes are focused on her.]
[The tentacles squeeze on the dome.]
This would be simpler if I could have tried nuking the shield. My sedatives are in there and head injuries are always a tricky business.
[His voice is detached now, hiding the pain.]
[But then a tentacle is whipping around behind her to strike her in the back of the head.]
no subject
He strikes, and her already throbbing head bursts white hot with pain. She's reeling, crumbling; darkness rushes up to meet her.
The chain slackens. The shield won't disappear immediately once he's taken the pendant, but it will weaken and fade much more rapidly. ]
no subject
[He's just gonna keep this pendant. Keep it from her until her body is recovered enough to try and get it back and hopefully that won't be a time where she can hurt herself more.]
[He is...largely ignoring everyone else until the shield times out and he can get his stuff back. Banishing the light fabrications.]
[The]
[The real ones take more focus. They WANT to linger.]
no subject
If he happens to check with his goggles, he'll be able to see more hairline fractures! ... this time of the soul-magical variety! They're very fine, more like a threat than outright damage. Yet. He was right about one thing: if she had pushed any more, she would have been hurt. Badly. ]
no subject
[Pulling out his own medical supplies with a disposable ice pack, going to wrap it to her wrist for now and will leave more bandages there for her, and some pain killers.]
Really trying to push your soul... [Shakes his head.]
[Yeah, okay, he's grabbing his sedatives and giving her a half dose for her so she'll stay asleep and recover.]
no subject
A tiny flinch at the needle -
And then nothing at all. Goodnight, world, this bird is out. ]
no subject
[Then he's making sure he has all his stuff, and now that he doesn't have to rip out Korone's feathers, he's taking her swords, and is just GONNA LEAVE, sorry guys, he kind of needs to go treat his own injuries-]
