Queens Squad vs Famine, Part 1

"Flesh Clones: Cursed Death Zone!" August shouts as each one of his clones fires off an emission of red Cursed Power towards Winter, who counters by firing off her own emission of Cursed Power, which is easily overpowered by the dozens of blasts from August's cones. August's clones' emission then blasts into WInter with an explosion of red Cursed Power.

 Eventually, August's clones manage to bypass Winter's line of fire, and make it over to the girl for good. August's clones swarm Winter and knock her to the ground, showering the girl with an assault of Cursed Power reinforced punches, kicks, elbows, and headbutts, reminding Winter of her childhood.

"WHAT'S WRONG, WINTER, WHY DON'T YOU JUST FREEZE YOUR CLONES?!" August cackles. "Even when we were kids, you could never stand up to me.

"If I fight back…mother will hurt me…" Winter sobs. "But…I need to defeat brother, I…"

"I'll…SPREAD MY WINGS AND FLY AWAY FROM MOTHER'S TORMENT!"

August's eyes widen as Winter's body begins to change. The icy-blue glowing veins on the right half of Winter's body then spears to her left half as well, as the white of Winter's left eye turns black and the pupil turns white. Winter's eye turns a dull purple, icy color, as a light-gray ring outlines it, just like Winter's right eye.

Finally, two bursts of icy-blue Cursed Power shoot out of Winter's shoulder blades before freezing, solidifying itself into two eagle wings made out of ice.

"Winter, you…" August begins to say as his eyes widen. "YOU'VE ENTERED YOUR FULL-DEMON FORM!"

I did it…I finally did it…" Winter softly says to herself as she stares down at her hands, whose veins are glowing icy-blue, wide-eyed. Winter then lowers her hands as she peers up to face her brother again, fixing her scowl at August.

"Of course you don't unlock your full-demon form until after you're no longer on your side…" August growls.

"Perhaps…I was never meant to be on your side," Winter replies as she crouches down and places her hand to the floor. "Cryokinesis: Frozen Ocean," Winter says as a line of ice extends from Winter's hand towards August, freezing his feet to the ground.

"GAHAHAHAHA! I'll just break out of your ice like I did before, Winter!" August cackles as he reinforces his legs with his red Cursed Power, attempting to break free from Winter's ice, just like August did at the start of their fight.

But nothing happens.

"HUH?!" August cries as he struggles to break free. "Your ice…it's so much stronger than it was before!"

"As you said, brother-" Winter replies. 

"This is the true strength of a half-demon."

Winter's ice wings then fan out, and with a mighty flap; Winter takes flight.

Winter spreads her ice wings outwards, as her icy feathers shoot off of her wings, flying towards August.

"Flesh Clones: Doppelganger!" August shouts as it creates more clones, which August attempts to use to soak up the hits from Winter's ice feathers, but the very second that Winter's ice feathers pierce August's clones, they freeze instantly.

After freezing all of August's clones, Winter's ice feathers then swarm the original August, lashing and cutting him, as if the feathers are as sharp as steel. "NOOO!" August cries as his body begins to freeze up, starting from where Winter's ice feathers slash August, until the half-demon is frozen completely solid.

"Goodbye, brother…" WInter softly says to herself, but Winter is interrupted when she hears a bellowing cackle come from beneath her.

"DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN KILL ME, LITTLE SIS?!" August bellows. "I CAN SHIFT MY CONSCIOUSNESS BETWEEN CLONES! AS LONG AS I CAN DO THAT…I'M INVINCIBLE!"

"Yes, brother…I do…" Winter softly replies. With a mighty flap of her wings, WInter then begins dive-bombing towards August.

"Flesh Clones: Doppelganger!" August shouts as he spreads both arms out to the side, but nothing happens. "What?!" August cries. "Why can't I summon my Cursed Power?!"

"I have frozen the very essence of your Cursed Power itself," Winter answers as she continues dive bombing towards August. Once in front of August, Winter places a hand to his chest.

"CRYOKINESIS: SNOW FEATHER DANCE, WINTER HOWL!"

A wave of deadly icicles shoot out of Winter's hand, piercing August. The icicles spread outwards, freezing his body.

"NOOOOO!!!" August cries as his entire body freezes over. "I have to win…FOR MOTHER!"

"I SHALL SAVE YOU FROM THE BURDEN OF MOTHER, BROTHER!" Winter shouts.

August's cries don't stop, not until the ice spreads to his mouth, freezing over August completely.

Winter stares at the frozen body of her brother as she exits her half demon form. "I'm sorry, brother, in the end…I just didn't have the strength to kill you…" Winter sobs as tears stream from her eyes, freezing before they can hit the ground. "But at least now...you'll be saved from mother's torment."

"Rest in peace."

"For over ten years now, ever since we met that one fateful night in the forest you've tortured me," Lycan begins to say as he reverts out of his wolf form and turns to face Famine. "The curse of my Wild Side that you gave me keeps me up at night in constant fear. Fear of losing control, fear of harming others. When I did manage to sleep, I was stricken with violent nightmares. Nightmares of a white wolf devouring me, devouring my friends. For years, I have lived like this. But for what reason?"

"WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME?!"

"Oh, the answer to your question is simple," Famine answers with a smirk. "Your Cursed Ability is similar to mine, Lycan Beowful, we both turn into bloodthirsty monsters when we lose control. I was a demon born with no true form to my own. So in an effort to discover who I am…I decided to use you as an experiment."

Lycan's eyes widen. "So all I am…is an experiment?" He shudders.

"My own personal research subject," Famine smirks as Lycan drops to the ground on all fours.

"For all the years of torture you gave me…" Lycan growls before fully turning into a wolf. "I'LL KILL YOU!" And without another warning, Lycan charges Famine.

"Lycan, calm down!" Renzu orders, but it's to no avail.

Once in front of Famine, Lycan pounces upon the demon, his claws and fangs outstretched and prepared to tear into Famine's flesh. Famine smirks as she watches Lycan pouncing upon her, not saying anything, not even moving. But before Lycan's fangs and claws are mere seconds before sinking into her flesh, Famine counters by aiming a hand at Lycan and saying; "Chimera: Kraken!" Famine's pointer and middle fingers then morph into two kraken tentacles which fly towards Lycan. One tentacle pierces Lycan in the chest, causing the wolf to howl in pain. The second tentacle wraps around Lycan's fluffy neck, tossing him away from her and landing on the ground dozens of feet away.

"IVY!" Lycan cries as she rushes over to the wolf. But before Ivy can get too close, Lycan jumps to his feet and takes a step backwards in defense, then snarls at Ivy, who pauses and raises her hands in surrender. "L-Lycan…" Ivy stammers. Lycan continues growling at Ivy, before letting out a feral roar and pouncing upon the girl, fangs and claws outstretched, causing Ivy to scream.

"IVY, LOOK OUT!" Ralph cries as he charges Ivy, grabbing Ivy tackling her out of the way before Lycan can pounce upon her.

"Thank you, Ralph," Ivy says as she pushes herself off of the ground and dusts herself off.

"Careful," Ralph orders as he stands up as well. "As you said, Lycan is agitated today, so we need to be careful around him. He can't tell who's friend or foe at the moment."

"Right," Ivy replies as she brings her flute up to her lips and begins playing. "I'll be taking control now."

"And I'll support you guys from behind!" Renzu chimes in as she takes a step backwards, pulling out dozens of digital cameras and laying them on the ground in a circle. Renzu sits down in the center of the circle of cameras.

"Let's go, Ralph!" Ivy exclaims. "Let's do that thing us four came up with!"

"Right!" Ralph replies. "I've always wanted to use that!"

"How cute, you little Slayers think that you can defeat me with your toys," Famine swoons. "THEN COME! AND I'LL KILL YOU AT LAST!"

With a roar, Lycan charges Famine, as Ralph fires off a volley of Cursed Power arrows towards the demon. As for Ivy, she continues playing her flute, as medium- green Cursed Power begins seeping out of the end of her flute and lands on the ground, molding itself into various zoo animals. Apes and monkeys, wild cats and wild dogs, birds and bears, the whole works. Ivy controls her army of wild animals with her flute, just like Lycan. As for Renzu, each one of her camera's begins bubbling with dull purple Cursed Power, before firing off an emission out of each one of their lenses, towards Famine.

"ZOO KEEPER: ANIMAL ANIMATION!"

"MORALE ARROW: MULTI-SHOT!"

"CAMERA MAN: CURSED POWER EMISSION MOVIE REEL!"

"ZOO KEEPER: WILD SIDE!"

Lycan in his wolf-form, Ivy's medium-green Cursed Power constructed wild animals, and Ralph's golden Cursed Power arrows all charge Famine.

"SLAYER RENZU SQUAD SUPER STAMPEDE!"
