Fratricide IV - Unleashed
- Do you really think you can protect a civilization by your own, sis? Face the truth, you're no match for me. You will fail, you'll regret your betrayal...
Bothan never thought that her twin could be so powerful. The grand-admiral was supposed not to be able to use magic, so why can she summon those blade wings? Why can she outmatch her strenght and even her speed?
Is that her determination to protect Bubastis which makes her that strong?
Whatever the reason, Daji unleashed her anger against her own twin...

Nice action shot, but I still prefer 'em bathing in the altogether...
Why not? You've already had the battle of the shower...
Wooo :o Bothan va s'faire massacrer par sa propre soeur, bien que celle-ci soit un peu plus forte qu'elle, c'est peu dire, en effet. mais on voit qui est la gentille et qui est la méchante. ha ha!
les détails sont remarquables, surtout les ailes et celles de Daiji sont surtout meurtrières. j'aimerai pas m'faire embrocher par elles. et, pour une fois, j'vois qu'un d'tes dessins n'a pas d'décor tracé à l'encre. c'est génial comme ça :)

Eh bien moi, tu vois, je suis très content de Benoît XVI. Parce qu'avec toutes ses conneries, ça va montrer qu'il y a un sacré bout de temps que la religion chrétienne n'a pas évolué, et qu'elle est complètement à la ramasse par rapport à l'époque actuelle.
Moi, je suis certain que ça va déboucher sur une remise en cause de pas mal de choses, une remise à niveau comme le concile Vatican II, tout simplement parce qu'il va y avoir un tel schisme que si l'Eglise veut garder un certain pouvoir sur l'ensemble de ses fidèles, il va falloir péter les murs !!
Jean-Paul II était trop bien pour qu'une telle chose arrive. Il a beaucoup fait progresser les mentalités par exemple sur l'ouvertire aux autres religions, mais le "problème" c'est que s'il était très conservateur sur certaines choses, il était également très progressiste sur d'autres et très ouvert et sympathique. Impossible d'effectuer une révolution quand tu as quelqu'un de sympathique au pouvoir !!! Alors qu'avec cet empereur Palpatine-là (franchement, tu ne trouves pas qu'il lui ressemble énormament ?!!), moi je dis, les choses vont bouger... Peut-être dans le sang parce qu'il risque de nous foutre une guerre de religion sur le dos cet imbécile, mais ça va se passer... je lui souhaite donc paradoxalement longue vie et plein de bonnes bourdes bien juteuses !!!!!!

Holy Jesus Good God Dancing Christ! This beats the previous piece without a doubt in my mind. Just... Wow... God, there is just so much to take in when looking at this. With one amazing strike, there is so much happening, or at least bleeding and breaking. The details in this only help to drive in deeper just how powerful it all is. Their expressions, and those amazing wings, all of them so powerful.
Than also the background... what a frightening and appropriate backdrop. How you handled the look of the burning debris and that thick dark smoke, just utterly incredible.
Also, is Daji's rapier cutting off shards of Bothan's snake sword, or is it just sparks striking her in the face, and not shrapnel?

Truly a masterpiece is born, the colors and the theme really are a knockout together along with everyone's fave vixens going hardcore on each other each with their own hopes and dreams on the line.
"The two sisters face off against each other in a battle of skill and power, each with their own passion they eye each other. In their heads the visions of those they love and their dreams for a new future flash out urging them to push forwards. Weapons at ready and with dry lips and glazed over eyes they stand each one waiting for the other to throw the first strike. Poised and ready they stand as if an eternity were to go by before one of them finally rushes forwards. Daji with her eyes clouded over by the many sins of her past is the one to finally break the silence between the two and with a battle cry to shake the heavens she lunges forwards, her arm raised high with her rapier drawn she flashed like lightening across the battle ground towards her foe. Bothan simply stands ready awaiting the blow from her sister's rapier and she whips out her snake blade as it snaps out with a metallic sound the echoes into the darkness, standing at ready she meets Daji's strike head on and catches her sister by surprise. The two lock weapons and stare each other face to face neither one wanting to back down from each others attempt to push each other back. Bothan in skilled in combat but daji has had all the more experience and takes advantage of the situation and belts bothan in the face with a blow from the end of her rapier sending Bothan stumbling backwards as blood trickles from her mouth and drips on to the ground staining it instantly with her life stream. Daji jumps back and smiles a bit while bothan wipes the blood from her mouth and spits off to the side all the while standing with her snake blade poised. Bothan is the next one to stike out and with grace and percision she launches the snake blade outwards catching the surprised daji in the leg tearing her imperial outfit and gouging a nice piece of tender flesh in the process. Blood flows from the wound and Daji buckles a bit under the pain of the wound on her leg which is now open and bleeding staining her beautiful white uniform from the wound down to her boots. Bothan steps back and smiles a bit but then suddenly hesitates as she sees her sister struggle to her feet and stand at ready, visions of when they were young flash into her head and she sees herself being helped up by her sister after being bullied by some local kids.
"Remember sis I will always be there to protect you...no one will dare mess with you as long as I am around" She hears young daji's voice echo. With this she is caught offgaurd again meanwhile when daji catches her left shoulder slicing open another wound and kicking her back.
"Come on bothan...keep your mind in the battle or your going to lose! She tells herself in her head as she shakes her head after recovering shaking the visions of her one time kind and caring sister. She is no longer like she was when we were young...she is the Grand Admiral now of an army out to destroy all you have worked for....she is the ENEMY!" She thinks biting her bottom lip while trying to clear her head and her heart of the feelings she still kept trapped deep down inside her.
"Bothan!" Daji shouts out suddenly. Bothan snaps to reality as she hears her name yelled out loud. she shakes her head one last time and readies herself but meanwhile daji has stopped and is standing there her leg covered in blood.
"Why!? Why are you holding back, why do insist on letting this drag on? Where is that fire you had in you that thwarted my attempts to crush humanity? you were considered my greatest enemy and now you stand here unwilling to FINISH what you STARTED!" Daji lashes out at her sister with tears filling her eyes her rapier slashing the air before her. Bothan can only stand there watching this creature before her that was her bloodline and only family she had ever known reduced to a snarling miserable and outright mad vixen so full of hate and power hungry. Indeed project Aesir had destroyed what was once there, the experiments had taken their toll and the one time proud daji was now more beast then human in all areas. Bothan stood back and then spoke out to her in raged sister.
"I WILL end this dear sister when you admit you were WRONG, wrong about EVERYTHING you stand for and WRONG about what you have done...I WILL make you pay for your sins but I want to hear it from your lips and your lips ONLY...I am no coward as you see me...I am not the one who hides behind false promises and false hope, I don't hide behind a mask of sorrow and a hatred for mankind...I am strong enough to hold my own against you and you KNOW that but it is not I who is holding back it is YOU!"
The two sisters stand looking at each other each one now poised, daji closes her eyes and all of her sins flash before her then she silently says to herself...
"It is time to end this madness....it is time to put an end to my sins and do what is right for a change in my life...I do not ask you to forgive me my beloved sister bothan...for you could never understand what I have gone through...but I did it for you as I always said I would." In daji's mind little bothan sits crying on the ground while her hands gently wrap around her and comfort her. Daji's features on her face soften and she feels herself running forwards with tears in her eyes...she knows what she must do. Bothan meanwhile sees her sister flying at her with full speed and her wings outspread as if to deal the final blow, the two meet and clash, the impact is so great that the very ground quakes and rocks go flying gathering up dust as the two collide, the dust then settles and the sonic boom of their impact still echoes. Bothan's face is contorted into hatred and anger at her sister on the other side daji's face remains emotionless as she stares at her sister and the two remain eyes locked, it is then that bothan notices blood beginning to spill out of Daji's mouth and her face begins to twist into a look of pain and helplessness. Bothan looks down to see her blade has struck through the grand admiral's chest and through her heart and out the back. Bothan slowly floats to earth all the while trying to cradle her sister who now has dropped her own blade but still remains eyes locked on hers.
"Why?......." Is all bothan can say.
"I was wrong sis....you were right......you were right...." Daji manages to say during bounts of coughing up blood and keeping her eyes opened. Bothan can hardly believe her ears, had she won? then if she won why did she feel a great pain inside her...her now in her arms was her greatest enemy her foe that had caused her and her loved ones so much suffering. Daji held up her hand and caressed her startled sister's face.
"I am sorry....so sorry....but I did it all for the both of us...I was....was so blind.....I.....I...." Daji tried to speak but blood and her strenth began to flow out of her like a river spilling all over bothan's hands and arms as she laid her sister's head on the cold ground which was once their final battlefield now looked to be the final resting place of the grand admiral. Bothan took off her jacket and covered her sister up and knelt down still craddling her sister's head.
"I don't understand....." She managed to say finding that she had tears in her eyes and her body trembling. Daji with eyes now half closed managed to say one last thing before her life finally left her lungs.
"I did it....I did it....to protect you...like i always have little sister.....I.....I.........." Then the grand admiral faded away as her eyes slowly closed and her breathing stopped her body felt heavy and limp. Bothan simply sat cradling her fallen sister who now lay still and cold as ice in her arms. All the struggling, all the battles it was finally over....but in the very end it was bothan who began to feel cold and empty as she sat there she had never felt so totally alone.
Bothan after many hours finally laid to rest her sister and then slowly got up still looking down puzzled at her sister and trying to piece together all that had happend....why had she done what she did and why did she do what she did at the final hour, she never understood her sister and now even more she was puzzled but for the first time....bothan began to miss her sister, the grand admiral had fallen as would her empire and all she had worked for would be undone, project Aesir would be no more. As bothan walked away tears filled her eyes and clouded her sight and she cried uncontrollably shaking and shivering as she walked, in her hand the bloodied snake blade still clutched with dried blood of her battle. Looking down at it bothan's face twisted into a frown and she flung her weapon away. After catching her breath and drying her tears a bit she stood.
"Fox...I have done it...I wish you could be here right now....but...I kept my word" She said outloud almost yelling it out into the sky. Then with her heart heavy and her mind still full of questions and her soul feeling empty and devoid of happiness, bothan walks away slowly only looking back once at the battlefield where lay her sister Daji cold and lifeless on the ground surrounded by her own blood. The battle had been won, but at what cost...the happiness in bothan faded and it would be some time before she would smile again and this she knew...this war had cost her more to her then she could have ever known...she had lost her love...and now...she had lost her sister to the jaws of fate, if only she knew what her sister was thinking when she gave her life up it would have contented her. But like all things...the grand admiral had taken those answers with her in death.
As time went on the things Daji had done had been corrected and life began anew as the empire slowly faded from exsistance. Months passed and bothan found herself returning many times to fox's grave and to her sister's grave as well. It was then that bothan realised...the events that had occured were more then likely just the beginning of something far worse that yet lay ahead, her battle may have been over, but the war had just begun.
Meanwhile back at his headquarters Loki sat laughing to himself holding the rapier of daji in his hand...
