Eye of the Storm

Alice and Aello meet as the two begin their clash.

The two exchange blows Alice tries to cut Aellos head off multiple times. Aello dodges and keeps her distance from Alice and she continuously hurls wind cutters at her. Alice goes in for another attack by Aello again keeps her distance.

"She's keeping her distance so that means-" Alice thinks to herself.

Alice suddenly disappears and appears again right before Aello about to release an attack.

"I just gotta stay close." Aello surprised hurls a huge gust of wind as it blasts Alice with strong winds knocking her a few feet back, and giving her a nonstop assault with her claws.

"So your one of the Virtues," Aello asks as she is attacking Alice.

"I am."

"So you plan to stop the Seven Deadly Sins?" Aello questions.

"Yeah right after I defeat you," Alice answers back.

"Well if you can," the harpie says.

Aello then spins around as she turns herself into a mini spear tornado hurling toward Alice.

"Fleet Flames." A fleet of flames attacks Aello as she draws closer and closer.

FLAME WALL. A wall of flames appears as Alice braces for impact.

The force and intensity of the winds prove to be too strong as it goes through Alices Flame wall.

Alice is surprised and hopes for the worse as she gets hit by a tornado.

The dress she dawns on is slightly torn. Alice takes steady breaths.

"There goes the fancy dress," Aello says.

A part of the dress is now gone as it shows some marks and scratches in the area Aello attacked.

Alice looks are her body as she realizes something.

HA Aello charges for an attack.

"No time for recovery," Alice thinks.

"PILLAR OF FLAMES" Alice yells.

Winds begin to pick up as Alice is updrafted towards the sky. Her body almost hit the top of Paige's barrier. "This is," Alice says. "Yes, a tornado you're in the eye of the storm," Aello says. "Well I guess we have to fight a close corned fight" Alice suggests. The winds begin to pick up. "Eh well inside my tornado there won't be much of a fight it's my territory " Aello states. Alice suddenly starts to feel sharp little pains throughout her body. "I've been cut when?"

"You've finally started to notice. Throughout the whole time me and I have been battling my winds have been cutting you little by little and now since within my tornado". SLICE a slash appears on Alice's left arm.

"I see what an interesting power but no matter I will defeat you here and now". The wounds Alice received are being covered by the flames and it begins to heal her.

Alice lunges forward.

"Aiming for the head Alice? You should pay attention to your surroundings."

Two mini tornadoes then hurl toward Alice. Alice uses her flames to elevate her up in the air. Aello closely follows as they fight in the air.

Alice then continues to get cuts but her flames keep healing her.

"Although your flames may help you now it won't be any good soon," Aello states with confidence.

Green circles then appear. "Are those bombs?" Alice questions.

Aello throws them around Alice.

BOOM.

The green bombs explode into mini air cutters that cut Alice as it remains there for a duration of time.

AHHHH Alice Screams as she gets cuts all over. The flames slowly begin to heal Alice but she still feels the pain.

"Yes feel the pain although there not enough to kill you I like to play with my prey before I eat them. Remember am not called the storm winds for nothing."

Suddenly clouds begin to form within the barrier and rain begins to fall. The combination of the strong winds and rain waters down Alice's flames.

"A tough situation here isn't it Alice?" Aello taunts Alice.

Alice does not give in as she remains calm and thinks of a plan. Frustrated by this Aello continues the onslaught of air cutters as Alice dodges or blocks with her fire.

"Hey am talking to you!!"Aello shouts. "Why is she some calm? Why aren't her movements slowing? Is she not affected by this?"

"You're probably wondering why am being affected by your storms aren't you?" Alice asks Aello being drenched with water from the storm yet the flames of her sword still light up.

"Well, to let you in on a little secret my flames are eternal. They are never-ending until I say so. They will always stay active until I release them which is never. I've spent many years training and honing my craft. I practiced every day little by little to summon I fire god, the duration, the number of times I can use it, everything. My mother left me with this ability and it's up to me how I wanna use it. I will not disappoint her."

Alice then disappears.

"Where did she go she could've made it out of the tornado did she?" Aello wonders.

"Behind you," Alice says. Aello looks behind in shock as she gets blasted at the same time.

"ARGHH You dieeee." Aello recovers as she charges at Alice.

"I've noticed your weakness."

"Shut up!" Aello yells.

"You are like an airplane for example. You seem to have a faster air stream when it comes to long-range attacks. On the other hand, you have a slower air stream when your diving at me. So I put two and two together there must be a "spot" on your body where it the air doesn't cover. The two types of air streams must have an area where it doesn't flow through. That spot is your back. The whole time we've been fitting you tried to avoid close corner combat unless you diving or lunging at me. You always tried to have you face me and never showed your back.

"So what am already going to defeat you," Aello says.

The two go back in forth with Alice in control of the battle swiftly dodging every attack Aello throws at her.

EYE OF THE STORM!!

Aello grows a green hue with her eyes highlighted with green and she screams. The winds pick up, the storms get stronger, and the tornado grows more fearful.

"TIME TO DIE."

Alice standing with her flame sword in hand and distressed battle dress."Great magic but you failed to realize what has been going on around you" Alice points.

"Huh"

Flames can be seen creeping up the tornado.

"When how" Aello wonders.

"This entire time we were fighting within this tornado. Every attack, every parry, every shot I made with my flames were all international. I am just surprised you didn't pick it up sooner." Alice says wisely. "This is what you call a pyro-cumulonimbus or firestorm in simpler terms.

Smoke then rises and condenses in the upper atmosphere.

The Winds are 100 miles per hour. As the flames engulf everything around it.

"You you turned my move against me"

"Huh, don't you know fire and wind go together? I learned that recently as well"

"BE GONE DEMON." Alice raises her right arm as the flames grow stronger.

ETERNAL FIRESTORM

AH

Alice is victorious as she barely stands on her two feet sits down and regains her stamina.

Alice reviews her fight "So that was a Revenant she didn't seem as strong in my opinion. Maybe it's because of this sigil I was bestowed I've gained more strength. Rank B at best Still left a little damage but-" Alice looks at the barrier for Captain Kaneda as he faces Xella and Alexia. "I wanted to test out my strength against them" Alice pounders as she waits for the battles to finish.

Alice vs Aello the stromwind. Finished
