Shemha put her hands to the sandy beach as the sudden increase strained her past her current limit. Breathing a little heavy she lifted her head at the sound of footsteps drawing near. Thankfully, for the moment, it was Meridia. The Majin could do without another shot to the face while she was done, body slow to adjust to the intense forces that dragged it down. Nearly at the machines limits, Shemha was surely at hers.
”Take your time Shem, nothing will assault you...yet.” Meridia said with a smile as she stopped several feet from her companion. At first it seemed incredible that the demon showed no signs of struggle under such stress, but then Shemha focused in on the girls signature. It was far stronger than what Meridia was currently capable of, this version of her some ideal state instead of the real thing.
”What's wrong? Don't want to come talk to me yourself? Shemha asked with a grin, a clear jab at the girl for putting her under stress that she wouldn't attempt to handle herself. Surprisingly, the demon was honest about it.
”In this?” The demon responded with a gesture to the area around them. ”Don't be silly. If you can barely handle it, how am I supposed to remain on my feet.”
“That's not what you're really curious about though is it? You wanted to know the purpose of the last part of the exercise, so let me tell you.”
“We are friends Shem and although I see few flaws in you, I have noticed one as of late. If I may say so, you seem dishevelled, a little off from your normal self. While I am not sure if it is the stress of your new position or something deeper, but you need to stay focused. I am no SSE loyalist, but since I am sticking with you and you are, you cannot allow yourself to be distracted. War is coming and the Empire overall is not the it's strongest. You can change that.” Meridia advised as she folded her hands against her belly.
”I...know that.” Shemha grunted as she finally rose to her feet.
”This is different to me, this authority to command others, but I am getting used to it. I appreciate and understand your perspective, but do not worry I shall not waver in my goals. May we continue the session?” She smirked now that her body had adjusted and partially because if the care her friend showed. As minor as it might be, the demon saw slight flaws in her and looked to correct them. Aware of the stress she was under more than others, she realized that perhaps it was time to take a slightly more aggressive stance. Politeness and manners worked well, but the position of Commander demanded confidence and assertiveness.
”Of course, just be careful Shemha, but don't allow yourself to turn docile either.” She finished with a small smile. Much assaulted her friend in this new position and she only wished to see her remain as she was, alive and well. Countless threats knocked at their door.
”Now, shall we? This is something more akin to the power I once possessed centuries ago. Time and a lack of challenges have to seen my strength wane. Here though, I can give you a taste of the warrior I was when purpose drove me.” She explained even if the details were vague. Meridia once rivalled Shemha’s on strength? The Majin wondered if she could find that again.
”Power you used to possess, eh? Glad to see you used to be on my level.” Shemha shot at the demon. Meridia was one of the few individuals she joked with; one of the few that she felt understood her enough to open up to. Her concern today about the direction she was taking as Commander justified that trust. When others saw little in her or thought her not worthy of what she earned, Meridia only wished to make sure the Majin knew where she was at.
Anxious to test this “ancient power” the simulated Meridia possessed, Shemha chose to attack first. Already close she only needed several steps to be within striking distance and when she was, a Ki empowered first swung forward with the single intent of slamming into the center of the demon’s ample chest.
”Oh, I will show you!” Shouted the raven haired warrior as she shifted in response to the forward assault. Her hand closed into a fist as she met Shemha’s knuckles with her own. Both fists connecting with equal force, the shock wave that rippled out from the impact sent waves across the normally placid lake. The two females were on par.
Imperceptible to the eyes of lesser creatures, the two broke into a rapid exchange of strikes and blocks. On equal footing, each snuck shots past the others guard, but not with enough strength to gain a clear advantage. Anything but a conventional fighter, Meridia finally attempted to break up the engagement when a sphere of dark energy formed between her horns.
With little warning Shemha was forced to evade the only way she could, flexible body bending nearly in half as the ball of dense energy was unleashed. Able to avoid the close range blast, the forest behind her was not so lucky. The countless jagged trees that hindered her vision before vanished in a dome of erupting energy. She saw none of it though, unwilling to take the time to watch the destruction as she snapped back upright to slam the center of her forehead between Meridia’s horns.
A groan escaped the demon’s lush lips as she stagger back. That initial blow finally landed, Shemha looked to press her advantage. Gaining altitude for a better angle, she leveled her right index finger at the girl before she unleashed a powerful red beam of energy. To her credit, Meridia was ready for it.
A backhand that glimmered with magical energy swatted the attack aside. From the flash of the explosion Meridia rose, the axe she so often wielded in combat clutched in her right hand. Partially blinded by her own attack, Shemha misjudged the girls distance and when the blade of the weapon came for her abdomen, it connected in full. Soft flesh parted with ease and as the slash swung clear, Shemha was left in two pieces.
Able to regenerate when she needed, the pain was still very much there as her upper half separated from her lower. She allowed her body to take care of the repair on its own, her cells capable of binding on their own, she focused on offense. Hands to her forehead, fingers splayed she shouted out the name of one of the many techniques acquired from Walker.
”Solar Flare!” The Majin called out as from behind her a blinding flash washed over the girl in the white dress. Shemha had her eyes closed for safety, but she heard the hiss as Meridia was forced to close hers. Her body already back together she doped right into the demon. With her approached from the ground she remained between it and her companion, a fact Shemha took advantage of as her feet shoulder slammed into the girl’s gut.
Propelling her friend towards the ground, the simulated ground shuttered as the two collided. Driven into the earth at the center of the Majin-made crater, Meridia groaned as Shemha rolled off of her. Flowing up to her feet like only one of her species could, she took several steps back. The techniques combined with the use of her regeneration left her winded and she needed a moment…she didn’t think her companion would complain.
”Uhhhggghhh” Came the groan as Meridia pulled herself from the dirt, white dress a nasty mixture of browns and blacks now.
”It seems even simulated me struggles against you, Commander.” A dirt covered hand to her mouth to wipe away the blood that ran from the corner of it. ”But don’t you dare think this is over!” And just like that the two reengaged.
The struggle continued for the better part of thirty minutes, each powerful female taking her fair share of bumps before a four armed Shemha finally pinned the demon to the ground, one of those appendages sharpened to a point and pressed to the girl’s throat. Chest heaving, she didn’t allow herself relax until Meridia surrendered. Then she promptly fell off of her to lie in the dirt at her side.
”Impressive.” She panted out, eyes closed for the moment as she tried to recover.
”Not so bad yourself, Commander Shemha.” Meridia shot back with a slight nudge of her elbow into the Majin’s side. There was clear respect, but the unnecessary use of the title accentuated her playful nature.
”Thank you this, Meridia. A good thrashing does help one focus. Next time…just ask instead of concocting this sort of elaborate scheme. I don’t mind suppressing to take you on at an even level.” Shemha said as her eyes slowly opened.
”I know.” The real Meridia replied as the simulated one and the artificial surroundings faded around her. Pristine and fully rested, the raven haired demon cocked her head as she looked down at the exhausted Commander. ”But, you going all out once and awhile does you good. It really is enjoyable to watch you fight at your fullest. Enough for today though, let’s get you a bath and a glass of wine.” She suggested as her hand extended to aide her friend in returning to her feet.
Shemha took it with a smile. Both of those sounded like excellent ideas.
