The terrible power of Malice infuses every inch of what once was Grace Garland's being, leaving nothing but a creature bent on killing... but one that needed Killer to hold her hand and give her food. Completely helpless without her guardian.
Or so Ramirez thought. No one ever accused the Silvite swordsman of being a genius.
--
Ramirez's plan to deal with Lady was simple and brutally effective- tap the questionable powers of Zelos and not harm lady, but use Silver Nightmare to have Lady slay her guardian. It would work perfectly- her idiot guard was standing right outside the arena, watching the fight and sending Ramirez looks that would start a fight in any bar in the DLverse. That look would get solved in a hurry.
Ramirez dropped into his battle form, and drew upon the ultimate Silver skill.
"When there's light.."
Puppet strings pulled at Lady, yanking her towards a surprised Killer. What else was Lady but a tool of Evil anyway? This fate- killing her Killer- was too good.
"There's darkness.."
The nightmare had begun. Lady's brutal Crimson Raid attack knocked Killer off his feet.
"Sword of the Dark Moon!"
The strings twitched again. Calamity Gaze knocked Killer into the floor. Literally- he was knocked at least a foot through solid stone.
The Nightmare ended, the strings vanished. But the damage had been done. Killer was nothing more than a twitching body outside the arena, and Lady was unable to do anything on her own. Ramirez was going to be victorious!
"...Killer..."
Lady turned around.
Her eyes were red.
And shortly after, so what was left of Ramirez.
