Marina "Soulsteel" Dee Richards
Marina stared at the person she loved the most, who now hated her just as much. She had been hoping that as long as she didn't reveal the origin of her powers, she would have been fine... after all, there were many people with the power to create objects out of thin air in this world. Unfortunately, either Eve's unnatural inter-generations madness ran deeper than she had suspected, and any power even looking like the Soulsteel's legacy would have unleashed her Katherine personality... or Eve had somehow just felt her spiritual essence as Deborah Soulsteel the 17th. Either way... she had, temporarily, at least... lost the person she loved the most in this world.
-Melissa... Treya... and you too, she said, looking at the cashier, run. Now. It is I whom she wants. Don't worry... she will definitely return alive.
Not taking her eyes off Eve, Marina took a deep breath as her eyes focused. Her baseball bat vanished, replaced by a couple of leather belts at her waist to which were attached (or simply held) a pirate cutlass, and a pair of flintlock pistols. More accurately, those of Captain Jack Sparrow, himself! Unblinking, Deborah Soulsteel, the 17th, drew her sword and raised it, ready to meet her opponent's massive weapon.
-Greetings, Katherine... it's been a long time...
Right now, she only wanted to talk to her, try to reason her. She feared she might not be able to, but she still had to try.

"Deborah... It's been a long time." Katherine says. "Ironic isn't it... My current reincarnation fell in love with you as well..." She sneered. "I'm gonna look forward to hearing her screams in my head after I beat you to a pulp, and vioklate you right on this floor before her very eyes!" She said hefting Oh Baby, and swinging hard... Though you block it with your cutlass... The impact still knocks you back against the doorway. "You really think you can beat me with those antiques! You always were an arrogant bitch! That's why It's gonna be so much fun to break you!"

Marina "Soulsteel" Dee Richards
Every time Deborah's last incarnations had to face Katherine Ironheart, the girl had been violently dangerous, but her hatred had only seemed to grow. Marina didn't want to hurt the one she loved, or at least not too much. Which meant fighting her was pointless, and that escape was the only option right now. Still, before leaving, she had to try talking to her! She had to win some time, to make sure she'd manage to get her point across. So she focused, and used one of her special techniques to do just that, to fight without really fighting!
-Katherine... you've got it all wrong. You hated Deborah Soulsteel the 4th, because you had loved her so much and she never loved you back in return. Now... you've reincarnated into Eve. Your latest reincarnation loves me. And I love her back just as much. I love you just as much. Don't you get it? ...Your hatred has no ground anymore... The one you hated died by your hands already! Your vengeance has already been carried out! You can move on and live a wonderful life with the girl you love and who loves you back! You don't need your hatred anymore, it's only going to destroy you and those you love over and over again.
She held her blade firmly, ready to deflect the massive weapon again. It was powerful indeed, so she would be trying more to move aside than directly block it.
-Listen to me, Eve... I want you to show me you love me more than Katherine hated Deborah. This is your body... this is your life! You don't have to take orders from her. I love you, Eve... and I know you can do this!

Your words have some effect as Slowly her eyes turn to normal. "Marina... Please help me... I can't stop herAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!" She screams in pain as Katherine takes over. "SHUT UP!!!" She yells. "She is not me! She is mearly my host! She is nothing but an obstecle in the way of my freedom, my revenge." She yells swinging Oh Baby again this time smashing a counter to splinters that fly out as deadly shrapnel that you still easily deflect.

Marina "Soulsteel" Dee RichardsMarina bit her lower lip, as she heard her beloved Eve calling her for help. She would do everything in her power to bring her back in control... but right now, she had something she really needed to tell Katherine, not Eve. Someone had to tell her. Whether she'd listen or not was her damn problem. -Your pathetic, pitiful revenge, yes. It is you who should remain silent, Katherine... for you are using a body that isn't yours to achieve a vain desire which you've already completed long ago. A vain desire of murderous vengeance born out of preposterous envy. "If I can't have her, nobody will..." All you're doing right now is ruining lives needlessly, without any foreseeable or desirable result for anyone, including yourself. Eve... is immeasurably better, in countless ways, than what you will ever be. I can see it in my former lives' memories... every last Deborah Soulsteel who knew you felt sorry for the woman you once were. Yet you are no longer that woman. You are but a mere boundless rage and meaningless fury over a now insignificant slight. Face it, Katherine... your very reason for existing at the moment is for naught. Your goal is empty.Marina was staring at her opponent with mixed pity and anger, as she kept a safe distance in case her words were truly useless and Katherine Ironheart would never listen to reason. Her words were harsh... but Katherine Ironheart needed to hear them. -...Besides... who are you trying to fool, other than yourself? You didn't love Deborah Soulsteel the 4th nearly enough to deserve her. Because if you did... you would have left her alone when she told you she didn't love you as you did! You might have been sad. It would have been difficult. But you would have lived on, satisfied with the one you loved just being happy on her own! Instead, you decided to be the selfish, arrogant, evil monster that you are today. Quit your whining and "woe is me" attitude... it will lead you nowhere fast, and result only in an eternity of pain and anger. Not only for you... but for anyone else you ever loved, you love and ever will love.This was her last attempt. If anything was going to shake Katherine from her wrongful ways, it was telling her the truth to her face. Otherwise...
-As for myself, and my predecessors... yes, even her... the 4th Deborah... we forgive you. We know the truth about you. And while your love was once not returned, we only wish for the best for all... you included. But can you forgive yourself?----------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 3/3 E: 25/25 6 stones into Social Skills (Heroine, Deborah Soulsteel the 17th), plus 4 from Attractive, all 10 stones into one last attempt to make Katherine stop being such a self-important bitch.  13 stones (Efficient) into Close Combat (Weapons, Pirate Cutlass, Swashbuckling), plus 5 from True Master, plus 3 from Jack Sparrow's sword,all into defense.

Katherine stops... She thinks... As if to comtemplate your words.
"NAH!!!" She yells swinging the hammer like a sideways tommahawk. It manages to clip you hard in the side cracking a few bones.

Marina "Soulsteel" Dee Richards
In her attempt to try and make Katherine realize how much of an insensitive and self-centered jerk she was, Marina had not been careful enough. She zigged when she should have zagged, and she had paid the price. "Oh Baby!" smashed her brutally in her side, sending her crashing into two nearby tables, one after the other. The first one was broken right out the floor from the impact, and the other bent as her body hit it. She could feel a sharp pain around her ribs, clearly indicating she had broken a couple if not more. She swallowed her saliva, feeling the bitter taste of blood in her mouth. Yet, she still stood up, hurt but not down.
-...Heh... heheh... figures. I am truly sorry for you... it is such a pity that you would choose to renew your own fall into loss and oblivion. My only regret is to have failed to convince you to change your ways. I will see you again, Eve... very soon. As for you Katherine... I doubt I will see you again, in this life or another. Farewell.
She then kicked the broken table in the angry girl's way, pushing chairs in her way as well, before cutting the curtains with her sword in such a way they'd fall onto Katherine's head, blinding her. At which point she would just trip her with her leg to make her fall, making it very unlikely she'd be able to catch up with her. Finally, she then made her escape. She couldn't do anything else for her dear friend at the moment. She needed help. And she knew exactly how to get it.
(OOC: Or any other series of actions you'd see her do as her Special Technique in order to get away.)

Marina "Soulsteel" Dee RichardsMarina ran as fast as she could, making sure to leave no hint as to which way she took, keeping to the shadows, avoiding obstacles, making several turns to lose a possible pursuer. The pain in her side was little more than a detail in her mind at that moment, she only wanted to get away from the woman she loved so she would not have to hurt her. But more importantly, she was heading somewhere. Somewhere extremely important. She didn't know where that very important place was... but her 'broken' compass, or more precisely Jack Sparrow's... did. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 2/3 E: 21/25 2 stones into Speed to run at speed 4 towards a spceific direction... 10 stones into Thieving (Escape artist), plus 7 from Makin' it up as she goes, all 17 into covering my tracks and making sure Katherine can't follow. Also using my broken compass, which acts as "Enhanced Visions 8; indicates the general direction of what the wielder wishes for the most at any given time", to head towards the nearest place where I can find a way to get Eve back and/or defeat Katherine so that she'll vanish from Eve's personality/alter my own mystical self so that Katherine won't see me as Deborah Soulsteel the 17th anymore, thus leaving Eve's body alone for good! In other words, any way that'll allow me and her to be together without the whole "need to kill one another" thing going on.

"Ms. Richards, welcome... Doctor Strange is awaiting you." He says ushering you inside.

-...Awesome.
Having reached her destination, Marina allowed her weapons and her compass to disappear, as she realized where it had led her... the Sanctum Sanctorum... Doctor Strange's home! She was going to meet THE Doctor Strange!
-Huh, thanks! I guess it's only natural you would know of my arrival, heehee. Let's see if I remember well... you'd be Wong, right, sir? It's very nice to meet you.
Her ribs still hurt, but she had time to breathe now. Thankfully. She followed the man, cautious not to touch anything.

Doctor Strange is meditating in the living room.
"Welcome Marina... I had a feeling someone like you would show up at my doorstep sooner or later... I take it you are here for an answer to the Ironhart curse?"

Marina "Soulsteel" Dee Richards
Marina laid her eyes on the Doctor with an overly fangirl happy look, but she soon regained her composure.
-Already on first name basis?, she joked with a warm smile. It is an honor, doctor, and as you say, yes... I am here for Katherine Ironheart.
She paused, allowing her mind to calm itself as she thought of Eve and Katherine... the woman she loved the most whose other self was the one who hated her the most.
-I am searching for a way... a way to be with my beloved anew. If there is a way of appeasing Katherine Ironheart so she'll let Eve live her own life and stop trying to kill me and my later incarnations, I'd love to do it. If she can't be appeased, I'd like her to leave Eve's body so we can be together again. If that can't be done... I'm hoping I can cut my own tie to my heritage as Deborah Soulsteel, if doing so will make her be with me again. And regardless of whether or not I have to lose my powers to do so.
She concluded, with a shiver down her spine:
-Please... tell me there is a way... a way for me and Eve to be together again...

The doctor nods. "You're in luck... I have an exorsism spell that should do the trick... Without Katherine's soul in her, Eve will lose a significant amount of her powers and fighting skills... But in time she could regain them with training and time. I just need time to set it up." Just then you hear a loud rumbling that makes the ground shake... something big is outside! "DEBORAH!!! COME OUT AND FIGHT ME YOU B**CH!!!" You hear followed by what sounds like a dragon roaring. A quick look outside the window allows you to see what is out there.  On top is Eve/Katherine holding a Dagger of some sort, playing it like a flute. (OOC: I'll have some stats for Dragonzord and the Dragon Dagger posted in OOC in a bit.) |

Marina "Soulsteel" Dee RichardsMarina's face became lit with hope as she learned that Eve would be able to turn back to normal. And in fact, she would even regain her abilities in time! However, before she could celebrate... "DEBORAH!!! COME OUT AND FIGHT ME YOU B**CH!!!"Deborah Soulsteel the 17th frowed with determination. It seemed like a confrontation was unavoidable... but this time, she was not fighting a desperate battle. She was fighting for Eve. She was fighting for the both of them. She was fighting, so that her love could be free and that Katherine's spirit would leave her and her loved ones alone. With this renewed purpose, she nodded at the Doctor... -You need time...? I will make sure that you have plenty!She turned around and began running, heading towards the exit. As she did, plates of red and gold metal appeared out of nowhere, covering more and more of her body as she ran. When she finally got outside, the armor was covering her from head to toe.
-Fancy meeting you here. Well... you wanted me? You've got me... but one thing is for sure. I won't let you have Eve forever!, said the robotic voice of Marina through the armor as she got ready for battle against the gigantic abomination. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 2/3 E: 25/25 4 stones into Speed, 2 to run at speed 4, 2 into defense. 16 stones (Super-Efficient) into Soulsteel Projection (Soulsteel Battle Artefact) plus 5 from True Master, all 21 into creating "Iron Woman" armor in order to battle Katherine with.
