“Tch not enough its not enough” Animum felt the force her eyes widened and the spear ulquiorra threw had shot through the dust and the sediment with the brilliance of sapphiric gemstone. The spear would slam directly into her body and she would have paused for a moment, the burrning rippling over her body for the moment, the explosion increasing in size, and in power until it would have begun eating away at the ground and she was caught in the very center of it, the light surrounding her. Engulfing her, covering her in its raw power power that left an electric tingle on every bit of her body, even with her defenses. She felt it for a moment, the despair she was supposed to inflict on others, she felt it.. oh yes even with all her energy she just couldn’t seem to stop it.. she was stuck caught with her head in her ass and now was paying for it. Her body was burning and she was slowly twitching as she seemed to begin to look inwards in her heart.. she was looking for something anything ANYTHING that could bring her back from the brink. ”..This blue light.. is it really my end?.. im scared.. for once i am scared.. i don’t want things to end like this. Is this how i am .. too weak to complete the very things i wanted to complete? It.. just isn’t fair. I am the ultimate bringer of despair.. I am the strongest servant that belongs to khala and sunshine. I am the end, i am the beginning, yet i am struggling for air like a frightened child , i am struggling struggling.. i hate this blue light, i hate this egotistic man i hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate. “ Animum slowly began to say.

The light had eroded her defenses, and her mind was converging to a single point, she begun to grind her teeth as her clothes had been burned off, as her body was burnt as bone begun to show from her fingers, as her hair begun to be charred to a crisp by the blasts magnificent power? Oh deep in her mind she was wandering, between the pit of despair, between the pain of losing, the powerlessness that was her position. Then it hit her.. the memories.. that world of flame.. where children lived without their mothers, husbands watching their wives get raped.. and then slowly killed before their eyes by a beloved member of their own family. Wars, the lost, the damned, the forsaken, the end, the chaos! The degredation, the primalistic urges of her being, the very mantle her name was supposed to invoke, these images and more, poured, and thundred, roared from their shells, and reverberated the fear and disgust that was now ingrained into her very soul. She was disgusted with this primordial sea of powerlessness that was herself, yes she hated that blue light, that energy, her own folly she hated it. SHE HATED IT ALL! oh how she hated and loathed that wretched blue light, and her hate was plunging her further into the abyss, further into the pits of her own power. It may not have been apparent yet, but ulquiorra had made her stronger, she had been taught the one thing she herself had never experienced for herself.. the fear of one stronger than herself, the fear that only was brought by a life or death situation.

This was that situation, there was the dead, and their world, and the living the world she still wanted to belong to. She was like a stumbling lamb brought from the dark and thrust into a den of hungry lions with two choices. Be eaten, or Evolve. Kill or be killed. So as she was burning up like a star that was on the verge of a catastrophic explosion, she felt her hate building up, until in the midst of the blue there would be a notorious purple, a purple which had split to a bloody red, and a sapphire oceanic blue. Energy which would crackle while she felt it, her anger the fear, everything in her mind was driving her nuts, these new sensations, even as the blood that was changed lingered in her veins was being burned she felt it. Which was why as the blast bit into dark menos forest there would be a shift, energy would begin to build her mind was going to work calculating the reminents of her memories, every last one of them she was learning devouring adapting. Forcing herself to evolve to learn to overcome. What would seem like a second outside was a century in her mind, As the very fabric of her mentality seemed to be challenged warped and contorted by the notion that there was someone who could possibly bring despair despair. That someone could even bring her to this state. Yes SHE WAS forced to do this it wasn’t her own choice he had caused this . HIM AND THAT HORRIBLE BLUE LIGHT. ”..That mere scum , to think he would be the one to force my hand like this, i will show him, i will show him i will overcome this, i will take from the vine and shear it all away, i will break him i will rip him and crush him, i will upon my mantle as the messiah of despair FIGHT and WIN. How dare he do this to me, how dare he me.. the ONE WHO BRINGS DESPAIR. should not be given despair, its unforgivable un forgivable un forgivable no no no no non NO! “

Animums mind would continue as she reviewed every battle, every moment that her predeccesor had learned something? She was revisiting it, she was pulling the very corners of this mind inside out, learning and eating up that knowledge, she was redefining every instance of it, as her face began to burn she was slowly feeling it getting a feel for all of it, every last bit of it, had become part of her her movements the way she moved the very thoughts she now had, she embraced it and then.. thats when she let the sea of chaos that was in her mind go loose, embedding the carnage breathing in the despair, processing her own despair and overcoming it, she wasn’t done, she wasn’t near done, she hadn’t even begun to change, and she wasn’t going to die here, not yet in this desolate place. Hell no, that wasn’t her destiny, that wasn’t her place and it wasn’t going to become her place either. [/size]

Brown hair would form replacing the gold hue, and her eyes seemed to shift from gold to brown within a matter of moments clothes being replaced with a robe of rags , one that seemed to just billow out in the wind slowly.. and surely.. yes it was whipping about, whirling with the force that was present from the energy that continued to explode outwards energy that changed from red and blue to black with lightning cackling within the depths , energy yes raw energy continued to confine the radius around her compressing and compressing until her skin paled, turning a sickly shade of white she just couldn’t help it, no as her hair turned red, and wings of the blackest night burst from her shoulder blades she seemed to stare forward, her expression one of the purest hate, the grandest anger but also.. such amusem*nt amusem*nt that brought her body into a tottering state of joy.. but also need for destruction.

One more thing that would occur? from this massive prescence the moon would begin to shift color, it would turn from its normal white color to a deep bloodied red. tainted by the spiritual energy being emitted from the being that was present before ulquiorra, energy to the scale that it would quickly overtake the lightning, devouring it, turning it into more raw energy, instead of having all the generic offshooting of her energy which normally generated electricity, this would be converted into raw manipulatable energy, energy that would expand and engulf her even more. This energy would form a cloak, a brown cloak of raw energy which would shift down to her knees. billowing outwards in the wind which had suddenly whipped up without any real purpose behind it. Wind which would seem to expand and increase in power until it became a mighty gale one which wouldn’t abate any time soon.

So what would she say when her eyes opened? When that grin which seemed like broken shards of glass that had been pieced together in a perpetual jigsaw puzzle? Well. . she’d pause as her eyes adjusted, as she herself came to terms with what she had just managed to do, with what had just suddenly been undergone in that moment in time. Yes, she figured out what it was.. after a few moments, just in time with her wings glowing a dark shade of purpleish black, energy collectively crushing the sands below until they formed into sandstone, or even granite due to sheer force of the pressure being emitted at that particular moment in time So yes.. she’d speak then with a slow drawling sound, one which had been echoed by the power being emitted from even her mere voice.

”..Messiah Mode.. Acheived. . . “

Messiah mode information:
[i] Concept: Messiah mode when entered is very similar to a shinigami’s bankai state. It was made originally through her fight with ulquiorra when she was forced to elevate to a higher level of energy in what was without a doubt a life or death situation. The form maintains a tier of around 0-2+ as it is in between her masked and base states As well the tier increase is due to the fact that this form is made by converting the reserves of electricity found in her body and redirecting them into a spiritual generating this increase in tier.

Animum would look forward, her brown eyes narrowing the ground itself seemed to be smoldering because of the massive force of the shockwave that was ejecting from the midst of the blast ulquiorra seemed to have fired off. Animum would have then looked up her lips splitting and a grin lingering on her face, however? That wasn’t the kicker, no instead her hand would glow as energy radiating like millions of volts was expanding rippling and adjusting forming an intense stream that would oddly seem like the energy surrounding the mass was being converted sucked in and then condensed, more and more until the ground would seem to compact further. Then it would vanish, the whole plume of energy would vanish and she would look forward, her mouth slowly opening. The insides showing teeth and flesh, her tongue and uvula. However that wouldn’t be the bad thing about it. No it would only be when she seemed to crack with something akin to high speed transportation, appearing directly above ulquiorra looming miles up in the sky which was still tainted by the color of raw spiritual energy.

Even from up here? Her mouth would begin to show a deadly black glow, one which would increase in side, rolling from her tongue out into the air where it would suddenly light off, an endless stream of black which would slam around ulquiorra’s location, hopefully engulfing him in a blast which would blow a hole directly into the sands themselves, causing a hole which every second was growing bigger until it would blow into the menos forest a double mushroom cloud ejecting upwards into the mis-colored sky, leaving nothing but a massive shivering explosion of raw energy that probably could be felt around hueco mundo. Infact she had probably been able to leave nothing but that immense force behind while her hand moved rapidly, the knowledge of kido left in her mind from magnolia’s previous years sparking into fruition. She knew a great deal about kido, bakudo and Hadō. She didn’t use them because normally speaking these kinds of techniques where entirely incompatible with her body, however as her hand smoldered and black lightning rippled from her palm she would have in a voice that resonated began to clearly chant yes she would have brought the dark energy outwards displaying her mastery in mental deduction by reverse engeneering the spell tainting it with demonic energies and causing the spell itself to become warped and distorted, altered with the intentions to murder to fray to destroy to bring to a black oblivion which would never return to the world of the living again.

Even so doing this would take every amount of knowledge that she had from her past host’s memories about the practices of kido, it wouldn’t sound like words, instead with would sound like an endless screech of words that would have the consistency of nails going down a chalkboard infact they wouldn’t even probably sound like words anymore, after she let them loose from her mouth allwithin the span of an instant the roaring power expanding as instead of ten she tweaked the spell so that at the cost of doubling the energy drain it would shoot off twenty of these massive black energy points. Energy points that would rapidly increase in volatile sizeand power.
