[There's a body lying on the edge of the riverbank. Slowly, her hand moves and claws at the ground, causing her finger marks to mold into the mud. Just as slowly, she manages to push herself up to a sitting position, and then she's got her hand to her head.]

Ow, my head...

*He clenches one fist, slowly reaching back before pulling the knife out of his back without so much as wincing.* So I'm just an annoyance to you? Has that been the case all along?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Well, not all along. I honestly did like you. But you see, the drums ask for blood, and I don't have a choice but to give it to them.

Besides, I think it's a bit fun.

[She pulls a knife out from her sleeve. The same one that was usually attached to her belt, and spins it around between her fingers.]

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

You... *His hands start to tremble and a thin, red aura forms around him as his temper flares up* Why does this always happen to me?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[Jenny stands there calmly, not really bothered by it. Though she can sense the power coming off of him.]

Oh, honestly, if I had wanted to, I'm sure I could have done worse to you then that. Really though, I even avoided your internal organs.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

You know that's not what I'm talking about. Albedo, Citrine, you...everyone keeps betraying me. *The red aura starts growing thicker as he gets angrier*

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Isn't it obvious why that is? You're just so gullible. It's kind of sickening actually.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

No. Albedo was insane and Citrine sided with my bastard father, but you...

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[She finishes his sentence in her own way.]

I just hear the drums.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Just what are these drums, then?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid you wouldn't understand them. You see, you can only hear them if you're a Time Lord. Or something very close to one like me.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Tch. You'd be surprised what I'd understand.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[She laughs a little.]

Honestly, haven't you ever had something that only those of your kind would ever understand. Something that can't be explained.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*She was right, of course...nobody could explain that feeling one felt when facing down their anti-existance.* Well if these drums are what's making you act so crazy, they certainly sound a lot like when a URTV connects with U-Do.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Do they now? And what makes you think they're so similar?

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

You read the file. You know what happened to Albedo. This is exactly the same, as far as I'm concerned.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Think what you like, but this conversation is starting to get so boring.

[As she says the final word, she throws her knife hard and fast towards where his left lung would be with perfect aim.]

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*No time to really dodge and a Red Dragon would probably hit Jenny, so he holds up his left hand over his chest and takes the knife in that, wincing as he sees the blade poke through the back of his hand. No more two handed gunslinging until he has time to get that to stop bleeding...* Don't make me hurt you, Jenny.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

You think saying that will make me stop?

Fight, and die. That's my programming. So hurt me if you like. It won't stop me. The only way you'll do that is if you kill me.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*He tosses the knife that was in his back into a tree and pulls the other one out of his hand* I've had enough of killing people close to me... *He drops the second knife to the ground and draws a gun* But that doesn't mean I won't if that's what it takes to bring you to your senses.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[She smirks.]

You think you can kill me? I'd love to see you try.

[Her stance changes slightly to one that's prepared for whatever he's going to throw at her.]

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*Which is why he's gonna try something unexpected. He swings his arm down diagonally* Ether Drive! *A little bit of will to go with that motion and phrase and he calls a bunch of ice crystals into being right where Jenny is standing.*

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[She'll be doing a quick backwards flip just before the ice appears so she can avoid it. Him saying Ether drive was a good hint for to move quickly.]

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Ether drive! *He repeats the arm motion and raceway style arrows appear in a circle around him, racing around briefly before vanishing as he takes off at much higher speed than normal, jumping up to try and get a point blank shot to one of her limbs.*

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[And she can't see him now, but she can still sense him, so she'll be moving fast, jumping to grab a branch above her, she'll be stealthily climbing that tree faster then anyone should be able to, managing to blend into it at the same time. She's using it for cover.]

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

I guess I don't have a choice now... *He put the gun back in its holster and the red aura around him became much thicker before starting to lift away from him. He crouched down, looking as though he was in pain and shouted as the aura exploded into a wide dome of energy.
