*Crim softened her stance and quirked an ear side to side before catching the long sword tossed to her. Grabbing it easily by the handle, Crim turned it over and over again in her hand, weighing it and trying to get a feel for the way it moved while Kirasa went to retrieve her weapon. However, because of Crim's lack of attention, she nearly got her head cut off when Kirasa attacked. The only thing that alerted her of the charge was the slapping of wet boots against the shielded ground. Having only just enough time to raise her weapon to block the attack, Crim reeled a bit, still keeping her stance though*
Meh, so maybe I wasn't so ready...

No sooner had her blade struck Crim's than Rasa was already leaping back, manipulating the rain behind Crim to form a large ball of water, which then launched at Crim at over 700mph. It would simply fall apart on contact, only drenching the girl.
Ki'Rasa then darted forward, blade raised again ready to strike another blow to Crim's side.

*With her sensitive hearing, Crim already knew that there was something forming behind her. She could smell nothing but water, but because there was water all around, she was still a bit wary. Right before it was launched at her, a large gust of wind was issued from under Crim's feet and forced underneath the waterball in the hopes of deflecting it upwards and in front of Crim in time for Kirasa's attack so that she would be the one taking the brunt of the drenching. At the same time as this attack was set into motion, she angled the blade of her sword to block Kirasa lest the waterball have no effect.*

Going at 700mph, Crim could never had formed a wind strong or fast enough to deflect it going at that speed.
Ki'Rasa ducked backwards again, her blade accidentally scratching her car door. She turned to look at it, raising a shield behind herself should Crim try anything.
"s**t! Jaguar charges a ******** fortune to repair damages!"

*Even though she had readied herself to make the attack before the waterball had been sent at her, her attack apparently had no effect. Sputtering as the water hit her, she lurched fowards a bit from the shock and immediately rose a shield of fire more out of instinct than anything. A good deal of water had hit her already though, but the rest was reduced to steam as it hit the flames emitted from Crim. Because the flames were coming a tender that could last for quite a while, they would not be put out easily*

As suddenly as it had began, the rain ended. The cloud cover remained, casting a dismal setting as a figure approached underground.
It was not burrowing, but passing through as though the soil was not even there, passing through various wires and piping as though it weren't even there.
It had no name, as such, yet was known by many. It had no actual body, yet was depicted in many forms. It was a collosal cloak, over twelve feet long -although 'standing' it was just eight- and the material was unlike any other seen before. It had a slightly musty look about it, yet also had a dull sheen, as though it were made entirely of ink.
The being snaked along underground until it felt two powerful beings above it. It slowed, then stopped. As it gradually ascended from the ground, it's nine foot walking stick appeared in a gnarled hand that had just slipped from one sleeve.
Above ground it appeared at first as just a small black mass, this soon grew upwards, extending into an empty hood, broad shoulders, long sleeves which from one protruded the hand gripping the stick. A body appeared along with the arms, wide, yet thin from front to back, and ending, the figure stood eight foot approximately, the last few feet of cloak trailing up behind the cloak as though with a life of it's own.
The Cloak regarded the two figures for just a second, before it brought the stick back, then swung it forwards in a viscious upper arc. As the end came out of the ground a four foot long scythe blade erupted from the end, biting into the Jaguar with ease and travelling upwards, through the roof as though the whole car were made of butter.

Ki'Rasa looked on as her car was effectively sliced in half. Her eyes flickered a dull blue -a generic trait in her species-, and she gave the figure an examining stare. "That car... Was over six hundred thousand ******** dollars."
Her tone was low, and if this was human it would surely be slightly off put by her calm demeanour in the situation. "It was also modified, a job that cost over one hundred thousand dollars."
She dropped her katana, looking at the ruined vehicle. "I am going to rip your damn head off and ram it up your ******** bollocks now."
Again, her demeanour was unnerving considering the words she had just uttered, when compared to what she had been like when she merely scratched it.

His head twisted around in tim e to see the blade rip through the roof of the car, and it's owner start talking.
"Hey Oxy, what the hell is that and who's car did it just shred?"

Oxy had turned as soon as Ki'Rasa had arrived. He gave a smirk as Rasa confronted the cloaked figure, then absent-mindedly drew both handguns.
"That is Ki'Rasa." He stated just as clamly as she had spoke to the figure, although his voice hid tones of amusement aswell. "And now whatever that is, it is truly ********. She doesn't take kindly to attacks on her property."
(( EDIT: I'm staying on. ))

*When the being had come forth from the ground, Crim's only reaction was to freeze out of fear as she had no idea what it was, where it came from, or why the ******** it just did that. Broken out of the terrified state of mind by Kirasa's words, Crim backed up slowly a few steps, not even noticing that it had stopped raining but was instead intent on getting far enough away from Kirasa to be spared from her wrath*

The figure reared back slightly, the scythe blade seemingly disappearing into the stick. It approached Rasa, making no actual motion other than the forward movement, gliding over the ground.
It passed straight through her car and stopped there, and the stick faded from it's hand, which reached forwards, now apparently on on an extremely long and bony grey arm.
The grip it held over her already would ensure she remained solidly on the pot as it reached into her chest to draw out her soul.

She was unable to move. The hand was cold as it entered her body, ghosting through her ribcage and fishing around, looking for something.
Then she felt it, her soul was awakened inside if her body and drawn to the hand, which clutched it tightly, squeezing hard. Ki'Rasa gave a short scream, then fell silent, save for the occasional whimper.

*Seeing this happen, seeing Kirasa in pain again, something seemed to snap inside of Crim again, just like during the heist. Her eyes became dull and lifeless this time, though, as she suddenly chucked her long sword at the Cloak's "head" before suddenly springing upwards into the air and preparing to divebomb the creature*

The hand slowly pulled out, and as it emerged so did a bright light, dazzingly white. Rasa's soul was a pure white ball as it was plucked from her chest, putting up a struggle and trying to reenter it's body.
Then Crim's sword passed through the Cloak's hood, and it saw Crim preparing to attack. It released the soul which sprang back into place, then the tall figure collapsed, the cloak falling to the floor as though what was inside had vanished, though the cloak dissolved into the ground in a matter of seconds.

*Crim attacked where the creature had stood, landing where it had been just as the cloak vanished. Clearly not entirely in the right mind, Crim crouched down and began to thrash at the pavement of the road, almost as if trying to dig through it. Her eyes were still a dull green color even though her face was lined with fury and her teeth were bared, dangerously pointed eye-teeth visible from under her lips*
