doctor who (d1) the master - ainley

(no subject)

[the Master is on the plane, but in a generally un-Masterly fashion. you know, usually he's standing and being egotistical, something like that. instead, he is generally sprawled out on the 'floor', and is idly biting at a bone. please do not mention this to him later, it is highly embarrassing

otherwise, yes. the Master is currently elsewhere, leave a message at the beep. ...if there was one, anyway]

[the Master lands and recovers quickly; giving him barely enough time to register the assault and leap out of the way - though it slashes through one of his arms. the heat managed to partially cauterise the wound, but he's bleeding regardless

he bares his fangs and things time charges head on]

[Amaterasu doesn't even wait for her mirror to return; she runs in a wide arc around him, forcing him to turn. She lets him get within only a few feet before she's leaping into the air and flipping over him, landing just behind him. She takes the opportunity to Power Slash at his unprotected back.]

[But then, just like that, weakness hits her--her weapon and red markings disappear. Her ink has run out. She has no choice but to take off running, hoping to avoid him until her ink returns--though she's a lot slower now than she was.]

[if there had been any chances of him losing interest, they disappear as soon as Ammy begins to run from him. in his mind, that is when it switches from fighting for survival or our of rivalry and turns into the hunt

so without hesitation, and despite the pain and the blood, he turns and gives chase, grinning madly. all he has to do is cut the distance between them...

which he does with a brilliant flash of light as he teleports while dashing after her - he'll still be some feet behind her, but he's closer now]

[Amaterasu grits her teeth and tries to push herself faster, but she's falling closer and closer to the Master. With no choice left, she drops from the Plane, reappearing a moment later several yards away from him and running in the opposite direction.]

[the Master rages as she disappears, but catches the scent again - and he skids to a stop to look for her. behind him. he doesn't bother to run, he just teleports some distance in front of her and then runs at her

he is, after all, an efficient hunter and never allows his prey to escape]

[Ammy can feel her ink returning to her, but it's not quite back yet. She's also starting to tire, and is slowing. She drops again and then reappears, behind the Master but closer to them than she intended.]

[he's getting very aggitated with her disappearing, but whenever she returns, he picks up on the scent again

so he whirls and hisses at her before leaping at her]

[And she doesn't have the time or energy to dodge. He hits her hard and she lets out a yelp as they both go down in a tangle.]

[as soon as he has her down, he's again biting and clawing like a wild animal]

[She twists around so that she can bite and claw right back at him, snarling like the furious wolf she is. But the Master is better at this than she is since, in many ways, he's more of an animal, and Amaterasu is getting pretty badly bloodied.]

[But then, with a rush of power, her ink comes back. She grins wickedly and hits the Master with a powerful blast of wind.]

[the wind blasts him away from her, and he tumbles across the floor before lumbering up. he's bleeding and sore, clothes torn and bitten and generally a mess. the Master pants and bears his fangs, hissing and spitting in warning]

[Ammy's a mess at this point as well, bleeding and panting. Using so much ink is taking a lot out of her, moreso than it normally would, and she can't help but remember the fight with the Spider Queen.]

[But the Master hasn't run yet, and as long as he is in her sights, she has a duty to fulfill. So she steels herself, lowers her head and snarls right back at him. Then she charges forward and lets her mirror fly.]

[the Master still has his wits about him, despite the loss of blood. if he were in his right mind, he would have fled; but instinct placed by the work of the virus tells him to fight, to kill, and he obeys

so when Ammy charges and throws the mirror, he drops down, just low enough for it to go over him, and he immediately rises. but he doesn't move (because he plans on her hitting him so he might try to rip out her throat); so depending on things, he'll either be hit with Ammy or with the mirror as it returns back to her]

[Amaterasu has the good sense to know what he's trying to do, but her momentum means she won't be able to stop in time--so she Mist Warps behind the Master, which means of course that her mirror arcs around back to her, instead of hitting the Master.]

[She whirls and decides to just Power Slash him, since that saves ink and still does quite a bit of damage.]

[and he's hit again, yowling and hurt. he drops this time and pants, not rising]

[Ammy knows she isn't going to have another chance like this. Her glow intensifies and heat starts to roll off her as she charges in, teeth bared, mirror ready to be thrown.]

[the Master only catches a glimpse of her from the corner of his eye and drops in attempt to save his life]

[Amaterasu skids to a stop when she sees that he has disappeared, and stands still for a moment, looking around, scenting the air, waiting for him to come back. When it's clear he's gone for good she sighs and lies down, quite worn out.]
