Stella would in fact not understand what's happening as she would see the debris flying at her, but it would be too late. Thankfully she had blut vene activated as a rather large piece of rock would hit the red head and send her back a few feet trapping her under it.

It didn't knock her out, but it did do some damage to her, and she was trapped under the piece of debris. She would begin pushing at it to attempt to lift it off herself. Not wanting to be a detriment to meni. It may take her a but to get it off her but it does look like she's slowly lifting it.

MENINAS MCALLON

He had created one heck of an automaton and Meninas rose an eyebrow as she looked up at it. It appeared that the lunatic had completely lost it now and as the large hand came towards her, Meninas would activate her Blut once more, its blue hue covering her body again. The hand would crash into her, pushing her backwards but the Sternritter wasn’t weak by any means and her tough body was able to take the brunt of the blow without massive damage. Her anger, normally something that she kept under tight control, was building fast, outraged by his obvious disregard for life.

Using her Steigen, she’d manoeuvre her way through the sky, surfing around the large defence, trying to find a way to strike at the coward as he hid inside it. The body of the thing seemed rather tough but as she noticed the joints, which seemed to glow, she mused that perhaps that was something to go on in terms of a weakness. It was worth a try and so she’d try and get in close to the creature’s right shoulder joint, charging up her gauntlets to deliver a pounding to it if he wasn’t careful.

She hoped that Stella would be all right in the meantime but for the moment, Meninas knew that her best chance was to attack.

ZATHRUSTA

It was a glorious display of feral brutality, watching them witness the raw strength that Akira had learned…Now being utilized by a monster. The debri flew, a weighty few entrapping Stella though Meninas began her ascent, a clearly focused eye as she danced through the right, skeletal fingers that aimed to grab! An idle strike from it missing entirely as it crashed once again into concrete and mud below, causing a crater to radiate out!

Her steigan was too fast for it to match, feet gliding easily across and moving beyond an easy reach as the glowing spheres pulsated with a core of energy, it did not take a genius to realise the broken jaw Vizard was concerned about! Well…Hollow….The eyes widening a little behind the mask, witnessing her energy with those sickly gold iris. One strike. Crack. Two strike. Shatter. The construct being broken into, far weaker than any of the core of the structure itself. It was pieces of reishi? Finally did the third break through, slamming into it as a sudden eruption of energy came from it!

A geyser of reishi for a brief moment in a hot spray as the circuit was snatched, causing a heavy thud to fall below, dust and other debri moving beyond as the bubbling arm of energy began to dissolve rapidly. The other arm though did not sit idle, sluggishly moving during that to grab a nearby car, using it as some crude form of knuckle duster with a crumple, aiming to strike at Meninas once the arm had gone! Once more though, it lacked any speed of significance.

Stella had been left alone for this one, though one might note the erratic movement of the individuals neck had halted, merely staring at the pinned farm girl….Oh no….

Stella would activate her blut as her venes would begin to glow red as she pushed the debris with all her strength off of her. As it would fall she would look up at the energy monster thing. She would take a deep breath as she was panting. She really was just getting in Menis way wasn't she. For now she was going to stay ok the defensive as to not force Meni into a position she shouldn't be in.

From the debris Stella knows her leg is decently wounded, but she should still be able to dodge the hand without getting hit too hard. She wasn't entirely sure the depth of the damage that was done, but she would Ready herself to move. She was slightly cursing herself as if she was stronger she could do more to assist the Pinkette.

MENINAS MCALLON

To see her rather simple plan work was pleasing for Meninas and naturally her turn would focus on doing the same thing to the creations' other arm. She had no problem with tearing it apart piece by piece if she had to and honestly, there wasn’t much of an alternative in her view. As long as she kept moving though, she reckoned that it’d work out alright. The limbs of the spell were pretty slow and her Steigen seemed to be up to the challenge when it came to keeping herself safe.

The other arm was already moving towards her, with what seemed to be the remnants of a car attached to its fingers. A flicker of a smile crossed Meninas’s features at that, as it was the kind of thing that she might just have done if she were in his shoes. Blunt and to the point was her style and she always approved of seeing that from others. Still, it was only a passing change of expression and that brief softness briefly faded again. This wasn’t the time to be making such a face, after all.

As the arms came towards her, Meninas would surf upwards, evading the blow and giving her free reign to dart towards the automaton's other shoulder. Yet, before she reached it, Meninas would try to soften up with a technique that she’d been developing. Summoning her bow, the six footer would concentrate fully on her weapon for a second or two, pulling back the string as far as she could, enough that the whole weapon would shine with her spiritual energy, before she launched one powerful arrow, which funnily enough took the form of her fist. Whether it would even hit was up for debate, as she was still adapting to the ability but if it struck, it might just cause a dent in the creature's other shoulder.

The idea was simple. To give her a way in so that she could deliver another pounding.

ZATHRUSTA

Curses…Curses…These Quincy, all it took was one strike to bring him to heel?! Why did this body not adapt quicker?! Nrgh! Such insufferable entities!

Zathrusta did not feel like this was going in accordance to his plan, though both would be remembered for the rest of time. They would suffer in ways that only a being like him could bring about. It was an infuriating look, watching Meninas elegantly surf through each finger, beginning to focus energy about her bow. The individual within brought each hand about, causing them to circle as a response followed, thick tendrils of sinew and muscle began to dance across the skeletal structure, tightening as an open hand thrust toward Meni!

There was an obvious shift to their movement, tightening further still and bulking rapidly to offer it resistances to physical and spiritual sources. This evolving motion might give way that it can adapt after a certain amount of time, editing itself into a fashion to the wielders desire. Yet before that hand could find itself wrapping around Meninas’s form, she unleashed the Arrow, causing the impact to buck and reel back the construct! It did not do as she had hoped though saved her from a nasty counter, forging further space….

Zathrusta took a brief moment to consider how to flee, doing so would need the Pink one to be in a state that pursuing him would be detrimental. How? Aha…The wounded doe. He knew that the left arm may have an extra layer of defense but that one would waste little time in breaching the muscle, were it not for this evolving…Well…He would truly be fucked. Exciting! Deplorable! So much at once. Strike! The left hand moving to begin shifting toward Stella, only to halt, elbow jutting out as it directed itself more so for a backhand against Meninas, expecting her to intercede! Would she? Who knows.

Stella seeing the hand would realize he's trying to use her for his advantage. Meni is the threat, so realizing so Stella will see the hand stop extending towards her and moving up into a back hand. Stella deciding she needs to do this would steigen in front of the hand to take the brunt of the attack. Hoping that the Pinkett would continue after him.

Stella herself would be launched from her position in front of meni down into a piece of debris as she would feel something in her Torso not feel great. As she would feel a warm liquid flowing down her head from the impact she would look up to Meni as she would call out to her.

"Please Menias, stop that monster."

MENINAS MCALLON

For just a few moments, Meninas was completely dumbfounded by what she’d just witnessed. Stella hadn’t needed to put herself in harm's way and the pink haired woman had done all she could to try and prevent that from happening. This had happened before, on that day her family had been torn apart. She’d tried her best and yet still had been unable to prevent her father from being injured passed the point of no return.

Why was it that no matter how strong she became, it never seemed to be enough to protect those she wished to?

The question reverberated in her mind briefly, before something inside her snapped. She clenched her fists and shrieked, her form changing as her Vollständig activated, surrounding her form in a fluffy pink set of armour. Her gauntlets would be replaced by a pair of large pink dumbbells and Meninas knew exactly where she wanted to stick them. Stella’s sacrifice would not be in vain and as she flew towards the large automaton, she’d try to dart and weave her way towards the shielded spot where he was hiding. All the while, she charged up her dumbbells, more than ready to beat the ever living shit out of him.

ZATHRUSA

Death.

Zathrusta had come to embrace this as a Domain he is Master of, a primordial beyond these entities imaginations and vision. Yet? For the first time in sometime, or if ever? He felt it…The sinew moving to close the skeletal structure, yet this boost in strength by the Sternritter only brought a crashing reality for the Inner Hollow. Fear. He could feel it. That rather abrupt acknowledgement that soon her fist would break through this formation of energy and get directly to him.

Tsk.

Is this what it felt like? To be so close to an ending that one could foresee every mistake created. That ocean of blood, staining his mind…Why was it so…Exciting? Yes…Yes…It was pure, a sensation that could not be replicated and finally Zathrusta felt it. The complicated feelings of rage and delight, desire to flee yet strike out like a rabid animal, but no words could form from he broken jaw. Maybe? Yes….He had to survive, rely on those weak shields and flee the moment he could. It would be death if he remained but Meninas was certain to give a devastating amount of damage, aslong as he defended a single leg and remained conscious.

He could run….

Flee……

Stella would feel herself dropping in and out of consciousness as it seemed like the bleeding from her head was a little more severe than she had thought. She could feel her vision blacking out as she tried to keep an eye on Meni, but a she noticed she was winning she would smile. Stella had managed to do her part, and she could feel a pride in her heart. Perhaps she had made the world a better place by taking such a risky decision. She didn't think her life was in danger, but she could feel herself beginning to pass out.

"M....meni, you can do it." .

Adding on a little word of encouragement despite the fact it looked like the fight was going to end up in their favor. She wanted meni to focus on the enemy, not her.
