NPF Avatars 5 - Part Vampire, Part Warrior, Carnivore and Voyeur

[Arhra]

"See? Now we're all cute, except for me because I appear as a sexy and mature villainess that represents the evils of feminity. Like Poison Ivy. And now.....TENTACLES!" Ethilvira-Asheth-Pyros said, having dressed Arhiyara in cat ears, a ridiculous looking skirt and plastering some kind of crescent moon to both of her foreheads.

Arhiyara was... puzzled by this. There was something about this set-up that she knew was familiar, but there was an undercurrent of wrongness. Her heads swayed from side to side, regarding Sailor Phoenixbot and her nemesis Ethilvra. They were both right... the jarring element was not them. And then she finally realised that the problem lay in her. There was only one way she could fix this.

To an outside observer, Arhiyara looked perplexed, then resolved, and then she exploded.

The ornaments Ethilvra had added were blasted away, the outer layer of Arhiyara's diamond hide blowing off with it in a cloud of sparkling prismatic motes. A dragon shaped creature of glowing light, Arhiyara twisted, her surroundings faded to a nondescript pastel backing. Her wings arched and suddenly shifted, splaying into feathery tips, loose feathers whirling about her.

Silvery bands of light appeared about her limbs, and tail, thickening and soldifiying into shining metal. Brilliant plating formed along her spine, up neck and down tail, flanks also guarded by gleaming adamant, decorated in gold. Finally, something between a tiara and a helmet appeared on both of her heads. Crowning it at the center of a sunburst pattern, a glowing gem of ruby appeared.

Ethilvra found the creature she'd dressed up had made a costume change of her own - majestic and armoured, skin a white laced with a subtle iridescence of other hues, possessed of feathered wings of a heartbreaklingly pure white. Blue eyes devoid of rage looked at the charging fungal trolls and Ethilvra.

She even managed to match Sailor Phoenixbot aesthetically while keeping her own style.

Arhiyara suddenly knew what she had to do. It was all so clear now.

"LOVE!"

The word burst from the lips of both of Arhiyara's heads, along with a devastating torrent of pure love. Her heads swung around, love blasting from her gaping jaws in a coherent beam of reddish pink, silvery sparks leaping off it. She was gunning for everyone with the power of peace and love.

Far, far away, back at the arena the first match had been fought in, the carcass of the giant enemy C.R.A.B. shifted, a piece of armour plating pushed to the side. Kayessa emerged unsteadily, her bright red hair making her stand out in the field of smashed robo-corpses. The exploding cyborg crustacean had collapsed on her on its defeat, her self repair mechanisms taking a few minutes to bring her back online. Undoubtably it had seemed like a lot longer. She looked around.

"Hello?" she called out, finding the place deserted. "Is anyone here?"
