A Phantom From the Past (King's Adventure)

(Ki Shot -roll 70, 21- Success)
(Conquers Kiss -roll 66- Success)

Kong's ki ball landed as the witch-queen practically shook with rage. She then pulled him into a deep probing kiss, and he could feel her dark magics flood into him.

Kong: 7 Willpower + Advantage (2/4)
"Neo": 6 Stamina + Enraged

Kong couldn't help but moan into the kiss even as he tried to force her away.

(Force Palm)

(Force Palm -roll 40, 24- Success)
(Double Scoops -roll 81- Fail)

Kong's palm forced her onto one knee. It was clear that the possessed woman was on her last legs.

Kong: 7 Willpower + Advantage (4/4)
"Neo": 3 Stamina + Enraged

Kong created a big ball of ki and moved to slam it into her with both hands.

(Ki Shot)

(Ki Shot -roll 34- Success)
(Desperate Outpour -roll 68- Success)

As Kong slammed the ki ball into her the possessed thief let out a terrible shriek. Meanwhile the black energy crackled off of her and struck at him, sapping at the martial artists strength.

Kong: 4 Willpower
"Neo": 1 Stamina + Enraged

Kong grit his teeth as the energy poured out of her. Just a little more and this would all finally be over.

(Basic Attack)

(Basic Attack -roll 94- Crit Success)

Kong landed one last palm strike, and just like that, it was over. Neo collapsed with a familiar black plume of smoke leaving her mouth. Now that he was watching more closely Kong saw that the smoke did not disperse, but instead began to float towards the door.

(Victory)

"You're not... getting away!" Kong panted as he threw a ball of ki at the cloud of smoke.

The ki ball hit the slowly moving cloud, dispersing it into wisps which quickly disappeared. Neo clutched her head in a familiar gesture of pain. "That bitch." Her sign read. "Is she gone? Are we safe?" The duchess, who was hiding behind a chair, asked.

"I hope so." Kong said as he collapased to his knees. " I don't know if I have it in me to fight her off a third time."

"Are you alright?" The duchess asked, walking over and attempting to comfort him, headless of the fact that she was still in her very frilly underwear.

"Yeah, I just feeling tired." Kong admitted with a blush as he realized the duchess could have seen that spirit try to take advantage of his kinks. "What about you two?"

"Feeling a lot better now that I'm myself again." The duchess replied. "I'm mostly pissed." Neo wrote as she pulled herself to her feet.

"Got to admit. It was kind of strange hearing a voice coming from you." Kong admitted as he forced himself to stand as well.

"Agreed. I don't remember much of the last few minutes but I don't think I have to tell you that voice was not mine." Neo wrote as she got her head on straight. The duchess sighed and began to get dressed. "I need to meet with my ministers and undo any damage the witch-queen caused. You two will stay to corroborate my story." The duchess declared, her voice becoming more stern and commanding as her mind returned to matters of state.

"Of course." Kong answered, seeing no reason not to, as he moved to give the duchess some privacy.

As the duchess prepared. Neo came over, teetering on her feet. "Well we did it." She wrote. "Do you think I should let her know I knocked out the guards outside?"

"Maybe?" Kong answered with a shrug. "I mean, she was possessed at the time, and this was the best way to get to her."

"I was mostly trying to make sure they didn't interrupt you. I don't know how well you'd do against people with swords and armor." Neo's sign explained. "I think I'll just let it resolve itself." She added as she took a seat. The now fully dressed duchess came over to the two. "You should both rest. I will send a maid when I need you." She said kindly before beginning to head towards the door.

Kong took a seat and started to do some simple ki channeling exercises as he waited for the Duchess' maid. "Better than I do against midara." he said to Neo.

"Really? Even if they're in armor." She wrote as her eyes began to drift shut.

"Have I never told how fighting was a big part of the culture back home?" Kong asked as he glanced at her.

"I don't think you mentioned it actually." Neo wrote, her handwriting sluggish as she sank into her seat. "You just talked about the tradition journey to see the world."

"Are you sure you're okay?" Kong asked with clear concern.

"I'm just tired. Being possessed and then losing a fight really takes it out of you." She wrote with a silent yawn. "What about you? You just had to beat up the same witch twice."
