Circe's Manor

[Circe]

*Circe's right arm throbs, and slowly begins to turn red.*

[AmbushCat]

*Sweating bullets, Callista morphs her purse into several different weapons before finally settling on a tennis racquet. She hunkers down and waits.*

[Circe]

*Over the next minute or two, Circe's arm continues to morph, becoming red and muscluar. Two of her fingers recede, and the three remaining grow sharp claws at the end. Over all, it looks rather demonic, and a fiar bit intimdating. Once all's done, Circe flexes her new apendage.* Ahh... Haven't used this since... Have I ever used it?

[AmbushCat]

*Cue the "Blank White Eyes" and "Blue With Shock" effects on Callista's part. The tennis racquet starts morphing into stuff at random, whether they're considered weapons or not.*

Amber: *shakes her head* I've never seen it myself, but considering I stay away from most places in Muffinville it's not that surprising.

*eyes riveted* That is sooo cool.

[Circe]

Thank you, Aldonza. Now... *Clenching her monstrous fist, Circe charges at Callista, throwing a punch straight at her.*

[AmbushCat]

*Callista braces herself, channels every ounce of power that her costume grants her into her hand, and counters with a punch of her own. Awesomely Huge Fist meets Cybernetically Enhanced Fist, says hello, and overwhelms the hasty defense.*

Callista: *nervous* This is going to sting...

[Circe]

*Circe pushes against Callista's fist with all of her new, muscle-y might.*

[AmbushCat]

*Callista is walloped across the length of the gym, bounces off the wall, and falls to the ground; both Amber and Aldonza wince at the impact. Circe's burns reduce the overall power to 1/3rd of the original, but the damage is still rather hefty.*

CA: 5,000

CI: 757,000
Status: Burn (2 rounds remaining)

*After several long moments, Callista struggles to her feet and stares out at Circe, breathing unsteadily.*

[Circe]

*Circe morphs her arm back its normal shape as she returns to her spot.* Looks like I've just about got this in the bag.

[AmbushCat]

*Callista closes her eyes for several seconds, murmuring something. When she reopens them, there seems to be a hint of steel that wasn't there previously. Over the stereo, Megaman ZX Advent's Determined Eyes begins to play*

Callista: I'm not finished just yet. *holds her purse in front of her* Limiters Disengage. Recognition Code: Omega Zero 64-Bit Atari Jaguar. Voice Authorization: Callista Ophelia Wilson-Metallium.

*Her purse shines brightly in multiple colors as it begins to change shape.*

[Circe]

This can't be good...

[AmbushCat]

*The purse slowly reforms itself into a large scimitar, its glow shifting in hue from yellow to red, blue, green, and back again. Callista gives it a few test swings, watching the energy that flows along behind it, then kisses the flat of the blade and grins.*

Callista: If I'm going to be stuck with you, I may as well make use of you, right?

*Not expecting a response (and not receiving one), Callista holds the scimitar vertically in front of her and starts spinning it. Various elemental energies mesh together, causing a buildup of power.*

[Circe]

...Dammit, and I already used my last shield...

[AmbushCat]

*The energy being channeled into the spinning scimitar separates itself and hovers for a moment in mid-air. Callista jumps and slashes downward, releasing an isotope-shaped wave of power---comprised of the electric, fire, water, and earth elements---at her target.*

Callista: Quadrant Strike!

[Circe]

*Circe closes her eyes and braces herself.*
