You're fine without all that, though, I take it.

Re: TECHNODROME: FINAL
[it's a biting laugh.]
You crack me up, Kraang-eon. I've seen what happens when people try a trick like that on people who definitely don't agree with being made their possession.
You won't get what you want. You won't get them. At best you get their bodies. You don't get what you want from them. And in the end you'll just kill them. And you know what's really funny? The most hilarious part of all this?
You won't even really have a problem with that, because you'll be too shortsighted and narrow-minded to care.
Re: TECHNODROME: FINAL
Re: TECHNODROME: FINAL
Fine. Give you liberty, or give you death? Heard it before, from heroes even more justified than you.
I know how to answer that.
[and she reaches inside herself to the squirming, screaming aspect she took from Donatello Hamto's soul and gives it a solid squeeze, and as she grips that shriek in one internal hand, she grins.]
Dominate.
[and she unleashes that death-scream of mind-shredding agony - the purely distilled and raw ability to crush the resistance of a foe utterly, such that it disables their will and all powers it might fuel - right into Leo's face.]

[It's all he gets out before the shriek hits him. The tentacles that had started to climb their way up his neck past the collar and into him pause for just a moment. Some deep-seated residual fear has his nerves on edge with the sound, instinctively raising his arms to try and shield himself.
She did, in fact, decide to shout at him. Not quite as effectively as she'd like, but it is enough to paralyze him for a few moments.]
Re: TECHNODROME: FINAL
[which is why she's not going for "him".]
[wordlessly, she just hauls off and punches Leo in the face as she stabs a shard of solid Night right into his chest, trying to dig deep and prise off at least some of that armor.]
Re: TECHNODROME: FINAL
But then there's a cry as the Night stabs through his armor. Whatever the armor cracked, massive countless pink tentacles burst out and reach out for her.]
Re: TECHNODROME: FINAL
[ah. this game again.]
[she doesn't let the Night do the job, this time, instead just letting her Name blaze - the growling darkness of the Warden, that sprawling sky with all the stars held in its embrace - as the beast that holds it all inside bares its teeth, and snarls.]
["Another self-absorbed little problem acting up that I need to put in its proper place, I see. Fine then. Back down, you arrogant contagion, or I will eat you whole. You have no claim to my territory."]
And - [Catherine adds, aloud, perhaps needlessly,] I'll see to it that you only haunt his.
Re: TECHNODROME: FINAL
[It's all he gets out, that layered voice sounding more discordant, more detached. The manifestation of his fear and nightmares starting to remove itself. The vessel isn't as attached as it would have liked. The fires she set making more difficult to stay in place.]
Re: TECHNODROME: FINAL
You are someone's nightmare whispering in his ear that he's not strong enough to beat you. And any other day, you might be right. Hell if I know. But remember this, Kraang, when you skulk back into the dark corners of Leon's mind where all his worst fears like to hide:
You will never be strong enough to beat me.
Burn, you fucking scum. Burn.
[she bares her teeth, internal and otherwise, and where her hand touches pink flesh, black flame licks to sweltering life.]
Re: TECHNODROME: FINAL
Leo is screaming. He is screaming and he does not stop as the edges of the flames brush against his own skin, burning the pink out into a charred, scarred mess.]
Re: TECHNODROME: FINAL
[the rest of her, which hasn't forgotten the Technodrone inside Donnie, knows it's something she can live with, like so many other scars other people have taken because of her.]
Leon, I know it hurts, but any time you feel like lending a hand like I know you're capable of doing, I've got your back, here ...
Re: TECHNODROME: FINAL
The corruption made manifest starts to peel itself from Leo's skin, anything to get away from the flames. Everywhere it touched, it had burrowed deep into the skin, and trying to yank itself away now leaves a different kind of mess, burning with the black flames. But it is trying to leave.]
Re: TECHNODROME: FINAL
I will rip it off you with my bare hands, Leon, but really, you can do this for yourself, any time!
[gods, she hopes some of what she's saying gets through to him half as well as those flames have.]
Re: TECHNODROME: FINAL
Get- off!
[But Cat can see it. The way his stripes try to light up, flickering as Leo comes back to his own mind again.]
