"Perfect, they look sensational" The man said by the stairs. Two new jewels sat upon the eyes of the serpent, emerald to rubies. Powerful and beautiful. His powerful grip held the staff as he looked around. "ARE WE READY?" He shouted, his voice booming, much louder and more powerful than his frame would allow for. "Almost Sir, we just have to connect the router and flip the switch, then we are live. We'll be broadcasting all over the world, every projector snail, every screen, these machines will alter the waves and send them to each individual sector" The engineer said before returning to the machine. "Everything is falling into place. When I rule the world, the leadership of Perrington, it will all fall to me, HE will no longer call the shots from the shadows. That damn rat" The sorcerer said, his knuckles whitening as he gripped the staff tighter. "I shall empower the guards, it would seem that Shichibukai and her little puppet are intent on ruining my fun" the man would say with a smile. "Come to me my servants" he said as he tapped the the scepter upon the ground. The eyes glowed a faint red and soon the tumbling of footsteps erupted into the air.

Within this vast area, their had already been fifty hypnotised people, but now, now over two hundred people would show up, filing into the area in perfect unison. Awaiting them to get into formation like the perfect zombie army, he would take to the stage, a single man followed him. Now the warehouse these people were in wasnt a warehouse, or well it was but it was a part of one, the roof was completely removed, and the walls had been knocked down some time ago leaving only parts behind. They had chosen this location for aesthetics, and...that in his unique form, roofs can sometimes fall under his divine power. "Now then" he would say turning to the man behind him. His scepter lifted up and that same glow flowed over. "You shall wish for three things, your first wish. You will wish that all of these people here have immunity to the bitter cold. Your second wish, that they are unable to be hurt by explosions, and for the third wish, that each person can wield Buso Haki" The man said nodding to himself. "That should be within the realm of my vast power" he said as he placed a single hand upon the hand of the servants.

Within a vast puff of red smoke, flowing upwards like a tornado, it would erupt as soon as it appeared, and in its place, high in the sky, was that of a large red genie, dwarfing even the greatest of giants. "NOW WISH" he commanded. Just like he had said his servant, whom now held a lamp that his puffy smoke body flowed from, connected to it becoming more tangible as it crawled up his body, he spoke the words, and with each wish made, the Genies hands flowed forth releasing a golden powder, akin to fairy dust over his "soldiers". With the third wish made, this genie flowed back in to his natural form. "Now, you are done" he said as he held his scepter. "Preparations complete?" "WE ARE LIVE IN 3 - 2 - 1" The engineer said before swinging a large camera around. It would be now that the time to shine was, his staff shimmering, he lifted it upwards, ready to cast his spell.

Kneeling down upon the rooftop, close to the ruined warehouse, Melissa looked down upon the goings on below. The warehouse they were on was much larger than the ruins of the one the Vasir or "Sorceror" was. They were too far away to hear what was being said. "Lets see what happens" Melissa would say softly, leaning behind her cover so that she could witness the events. "I count about thirty something" having missed a few, That was until the man took to the stage, the thunderous roar of footsteps, from the warehouse district a small army flowed forth, "shit" Melissa uttered to herself as the army filled in to the ruins. "I think......we might be biting off more than we can chew" she said laughing sarcastically. Hundreds of civilians, that was nothing, Melissa could tame them in an instant. It was not a bother at all...That was until the man showed his next trick. The red thick fogged oozed from him, whisping into a twister. Melissa had to grab on to the side of the warehouse, using her monstrous strength to hold on so that she wasn't picked up by the force of this terrifying burst of nature.

When the wind had cleared, her eyes widened, the gentle breeze that now remained gently moved her hair to the right side, she was in shock from the massive appearance of this man. His entire torso and upper body was enormous and red much like the devil, his goatee had extended and his eyes were now golden, he bore golden bangles upon his wrists and had a large ponytail. His staff was gone, though his hands were now massive so it could have been within his massive palms. Melissa could not keep her eyes from the large, terrifying creature. "NOW WISH" its voice echoed out. It was now, due to the other man who now held an item which connected the genie-like creature to this plane. She heard him shout at the top of his lungs, his three wishes, each completed wish resulted in bursts of mythical power and dust that flowed over the army, they glowed gently after each wish but it was the wishes themselves that Melissa was quizzical over. "W...what the hell just happened" she said as she sat down hiding. She couldn't let this man, this gigantic creature see her just now.

Thankfully he seemed too obsessed with his own power and wishes that upon the completion of his use, he spun back to his normal size, returning to his normal persona. Melissa's spare hand held the now crumpled paper detailing Vaels plan of hijacking the airwaves to brain wash the world, it also held perringtons logo and information on the warehouses, as well as the contract she needed. Folding them up she slipped them into her bra, adjusting herself accordingly. As the machine was complete, Melissa would take a deep breath, this mans strange form sent a chill down her spine, but as soon as he lifted his staff, she moved, with the use of soru, she moved quickly, a wall of snow formed, hiding the glowing serpants eyes from the cameras view, Melissa appearing on the otherside of the wall, her booty to the camera, she gave a quick sideways nod to the camera grinning. "Melissa Devaroux, the beauty of the Shichibukai, at your service" She grinned.

@Ghost

"Outrageous," Seethed the man, the shining red hues of the scepter being halted by the wall of snow that now blocked him from the camera views. "I should have quelled you earlier" the man uttered as he waved his hand. This gentle action, it had powerful effects, for the wall of snow erupted with a beautiful flame, the snow seemingly catching fire and melting until it was no more, the fires puttering out as the snow dissolved. His eyes would witness the female shaking her bottom at the cameras, obviously not showing the man the respect that he certainly deserved. "Snow Witch? Let us see whose magic is stronger, your's or mine" he uttered. With his free hand, he opened the palm, conjuring up a ball of bouncing fire. With a simple swat of his hand it flew towards the female with some speed. Unlike before he was forced to conjure the fireball, being able to magically enchant objects of non organic material with his unique fire, when dealing with organisms, he had to assault them much like anyone else could. Thankfully, this magic was exactly what it was. MAGIC. A sorceror, it did not come from his devil fruit, thus in this form it did not bind to his fruits rules.

As he flew the fireball forth he would look to those in his "employment". "Well then. Exactly what are you waiting for. This is your enemy." he said. Now without looking he would wave his hand once more, a sinister smile upon his face. With Kenbunshoku haki activated, he detected the nearby dangers. The hollows that hovered within the five meter range would ignite, this thought would pres-emptively explode the bomb hollow, which would mean it would release its explosive radius. This would thus sweep past the genie, engulfing him in the range. Though as the explosion reached him, it directed into his open hand, seemingly taking possesion of the heat and fire that came from the eruption. "An interesting ability. Perhaps I should make this brat my new slave" Vael uttered as he turned his back upon Melissa. Without paying her a second glance he departed. "Keep the camera's rolling, Let us show the world how powerful we are" the man said as he grinned. His haki allowed him to locate the ghost summoner easily.

"Come to me Master of Ghosts, Your abilities are unique and sinister, you will have a place in my army" the sorceror uttered now being ten meters from the building Arco was located on. No sorcery would be used at this point, his request was true. The ability to create ones own slaves...it peaked his interest.

"Why does everything have to be fire" Melissa huffed, crossing her hands, though she would continue shaking her booty for the camera. Yup DRINK IT IN, THIS WAS THE FEARED SCHICHIBUKAI. THE FROST QUEEN, THE SNOW WITCH. THE BOOTY DANCER. "Magics for frauds" Melissa said, though she would wipe that smile from her own face as the fireball came flowing for her. It by rights should have hit her, its speed was intense, but...something in her mind just. The best way to describe it was that time just slowed down for her, the fireball and her body, it was as if her eyes had the power to reduce time, as the fireball came for her, she curved, her nimble and petite frame allowing a dodge of such caliber, she felt the heat from the ball as it glanced passed her, flowing through the air before dissipating.

She was now crouched upon the floor, the auras she saw, the sense of clarity now vanishing. It was a sensation she had felt many times before, against her old friend the giant, when battling the ancient Gorilla, when dodging the bubblegum missiles. As she looked to the Perrington man, she allowed her smile to come back, until he finished talking that was. For the mammoth amount of civilians and armed marines released a gut wrenching scream in unison. She had for a mere moment forgotten about his army. "Fuck" she uttered as they charged for her.

Instantly she released her snow age technique, the battlefield now becoming her domain, thick white powder swirled upon the ground and in the air, creating mounds against buildings, vast amounts of snow doubled over itself, building up and up, the intense cold within the one hundred meter radius built up easily. She would dive upwards into the air as the explosion erupted, fate shone upon her today, for the explosive range would have covered her had she been where she had been. With her lower body flowing into snow, she would soon be subjected to gun shots from the marines, though they passed through her effortlessly. "They should be down" Melissa said as she moved through the air. Before she could fight the sorceror properly, she had to find a way to stop these guys. "Fuck it" Melissa said now above the center of the crowd, she would allow her flight technique to halt, dropping her into the thick of the crowd.

@Ghost

The tall lanky man smiled very gently. "The Snow Queen, she has too many "feelings, her downfall will be the civilians that can not control their actions" the snake like man said. As he did, he pulled his hand upwards, the staff upon the ground, he would gently tap the head of the snake, his smile curling around his face. As he touched the staff, the lights within the scepters eyes glowed gently. "The Snow Queen is nought but a hindrance. With the power of Perrington, the reach and pull of our grasp...NO...With my power, an all powerful genie, I CAN SHAPE THIS WORLD. TAKING OUT A SINGLE MEASLY WOMAN IS BUT AN EASY FEAT" He said, his laugh filled the air. Though of course while this was all going on, the snow queen herself was facing off with the same civilains he had just talked about.

The marines had taken fire, true they had been blessed with Buso haki, but they had not gained the ability to convert that haki to their bullets. So as they fired, the bullets were harmless. The cold created by the snow queen showed no power of hindrance, it showed no capability in stopping the hordes of people, yet the cameras were pointed directly at her, the horde blocking her from view as she descended. She had fallen, and now buso enhanced limbs crashed down upon her. Each person aimed to strike her, if she moved, if she avoided more limbs would come for her, none of them feared being injured or damaged. The zombified horde was aiming to smash her into oblivion.

[Looks like I bit off more than I can chew the inner working off the Snow Queen thought to herself, she tried her hardest to weave in between the small gaps, yet each time she moved another glancing blow struck her. It was a good thing she was a sturdy little creature. She knew Buso Haki, each time she tried to escape into the air by producing her intangibility, her body was brought to its true form again, she was pushed and pulled, kicked and punched. She needed to do something, Think Melissa, your a god damn pirate. WHAT IS WITH THIS PUSSY FOOTING ABOUT" she thought to herself as she was struck in the face. Bounced like a pinball, pushed back and forth. It was as if her mind went blank. She remembered spinning, bringing her body backwards, Her hand came upwards before she knew what she was doing, and....a large fist of snow burst from her hand, colliding forwards expanding upwards, causing a wave of chaos pushing the hypnotised civilians backwards with great might and force, With a spin, she would bring the elongated fist into a twist.

This would create an even bigger opening while at the same time, blasting a large amount of the civilians into one another. "I'm FUCKING MELISSA DEVAROUX BITCH, WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE" she shouted, threateningly jittering her body. "COME AT ME BRO" she uttered. Melissa laughed, though it wouldn't last for too long, all the civilians got back up, they were certainly empowered, and even through broken bones and fractured ribs, they came back at her. "These guys, their like zombies" Melissa said biting her tongue. Lets see how well you handle this"[/color] the queen of the blizzard uttered as she raised her hands, from her body and the ground below, snow began to rotate millions and millions of small frozen particles erupted into a powerful blizzard.

A powerful blizzard that would hinder the vision of all those bar the Yuki Yuki No Mi user herself. "Lets see them" BANG A bullet grazed past her shoulder, she had not anticipated this thus her intangibility had not been activated. "MOTHER FUCKER" she shouted. It was merely a graze. "Shots in the dark now" she said as her body took on its snow form, blending in with the snow, she had to move around, she had to keep going...she had to think of what she was going to do.

@Ghost

Given that the man who would reveal himself to be that of a three eyed tribesman was staring intently at the member of the esteemed Perrington, avoiding the glowing eyes of the serpent styled staff that sat close to the mans shoulder would be impossible. Thus the activation and hypnotization of the Horo Horo No Mi user was complete. Unlike his other zombies in which he instantly cancels out their persona's, he would allow the man to keep his, to speak the way he was speaking for it would seem they had shared interests, the conditions of the hypnosis were simple, unable to harm Vael and unable to ignore commands that he gives. Those were the only two conditions, if the man tried to harm Vael his body would instantly freeze up. Though for now the man would be unable to tell he was under possession. "So it seems my friend, that you have a rather large name to your frame, though I must admit, I have not heard off you" Vael uttered after the man had spoken his "Feats"

Allowing the man to finish his talking, he would simply smile. "Alas, my powers can not awaken your haki...not yet anyway, I must rest them, greatness does not come in an instant, the king...it is a great title but Lord of the World seems greater, with the devices I have occured, with this scepter, I am unstoppable, people are bound to my will, I can unlock greatness, potential stored deep down within, simply with my own power, with the power of my transformation, I can bestow the power of gods" he said greedily, he couldn't help but let out a laugh, his attention was fully on Arco, this was a mistake, his greed at obtaining what he believed to be a powerful pawn. He shivered though, due to his mastery and power over fire, he was able to keep his body from succumbing to the snows effects for much longer than any one would believe, especially since his own body was frail. Though it would seem the man in front of him could not. "Her range is rather impressive, to cast snow all the way out here" he said musing as he tapped his staff to the ground once more. This tap would cause another shimmer that if Arco saw would fill his body with warmth enough to reduce the effects of the snow queens snow for some time [5 posts].

"It would seem in my haste, I lost track of her" he mused outloud. Though as he uttered this, the cameramen would come running up.

"Thanks for the complement"

Her voice echoed from above. Given that the Arco had moved from the top of the Warehouse to the ally beside, and that Vael had went to speak to them, tracking them from what had been her previous position had been rather simple. Perhaps they would have been better to hide away before brazenly echoing out their plan. But how had she gotten here? and how much had she eavesdropped up, the final question? "Why are your zombified slaves not about?" Melissa said. "Thats what your thinking right?" she questioned cocking her head with a smile. Her skin was slightly bruised and her lip showed a small hint of blood, more so her clothes seemed to have taken a stronger battering than her body, and if that smile was any indication, she was nowhere near tired. It would seem that even a mass amount of zombified civilians were not able to warm up this cold blooded woman. Yet exactly what had she done to them. With a snap of her fingers, she then proceeded to point out to where the battle had taken place. If they were to follow her finger, they would see a large dome of snow, powerful and unbreakable. She had managed to restrain every possessed human within the large structure. "Child's play"

As she spoke, she stood, having previously been sitting upon the roof allowing her legs to dangle. "Lets set this straight then shall we." she said smiling, her eyes drifting to her "First mate". "You were never a target, or a threat" she said. "When I arrived, you weren't even on my radar, it was simply just fate that we met, but don't mistake fate as being sent, the marines and World Government cared nothing for you, Kaito, Fuentes, Yuurei. Those are the names of the people the Government care about taking out. You were...no...you are soo unimportant, that I still can't get your name right" The Queen of Cold uttered. It would seem she had heard everything Arco had uttered to Vael. The full might and cold of the Captain was now oozing from her. "Second thing, If you think Buso Haki would even the playing field....you are wrong"

As if to echo her point, her body would vanish, with only the slightest movement of her legs, her body interlocking between the duo, she had not seen any red light, probably hinting to the range of the sorcerors hypnosis, yet she would not re-appear fully between the duo, in stead her body seemingly "phased" out once more, only to re-appear ten meters behind Ghost. "Third thing, You both die hear today" The Yuki Yuki No Mi user uttered. "Who dies first?" she commanded the environment as more snow burst from her, her snow age covering another one hundred meter radius, the wind burst forth flowing through the trio. The cameraman began to falter in the intense cold, the video den den mushi finally cutting out, unable to hack the cold.

@Ghost

"Show me your power, if I am impressed. I will increase your power tenfold" Vael uttered, from below him, sand seemed to rise, condensing around him, moving him backwards atleast forty feet. There was nought left for him to do. He would not waste his powers on one who is not worthy, he had to rest his wish power, having already spent them on empowering up the civilians who were far to weak and not smart enough. By keeping this mans persona in tact and remotely controlling him when needed, he would have to simply sit back for now. If the man could keep on par with the Snow Witch, then he would be able to empower him, pushing him over the limit. Survive for three minutes my new friend, three minutes against the Shichibukai cow, then I will boost your abilities far past her own" he commanded outwards with a laugh. He was enjoying this. Turning crew mates against each other. Though it would from his view seem as though their was no love lost. The man upon his sand pillar laughed. Watching, his haki keeping track of every single detail. "This shall be interesting. Shall the Ghost man, will it be the snow queen. Will she be able to kill him....He will have no choice, under my control he has too kill her" he said with a laugh. The man rapped his scepter, laughing ever so gently, the head of the scepter turning slightly, curling like a real snake.

With the Horo Horo No Mi user smiling at him, that same smile. It did get under her skin. She had grown especially recently to hate this man. He was too up himself, he didn't know her, and after everything she had just heard, he did not respect her. "My family can protect itself" she said softly as she held her hand outwards. "You on the other hand, have nothing to protect. You think you are on par with me, you think your power is above mine. You have seen nothing." the Queen of Snow said as she grasped the lance, as her hand curled around the white lance, its colour changed, with spikes forming around the entirety of the lance apart from where her hands curled around. "This is Buso Haki, this is the power you seem to covet. But that power is nothing." she uttered as the wind blew her hair. "I'm going to show you what true power is, You have three seconds to live" Melissa said. "In that time I will show you the difference in our power" With her words ending, her eyes whitened, a miniature blizzard whizzing around in her irises, her hair whitened from the intense cold that built up within her, and her breath became completely visible, lines of blue covered her skin as she was twinged blue.

"The End"

A ten meter distance, thats all that kept her from the man. He had summoned his hollows to defend him, but Melissa cared naught for them. The storm within her, the murderous chill that moved her very essence was screaming for the end of this man. As she spoke the first word of her last phrase. As she uttered the word THE, her leg moved. Her signature movement technique propelling her forth at speeds that were much, much faster than she had ever been. Darkness took her for a mere second as she appeared once more behind Acno, a twenty-meter distance now put between them. Her aim had been true, she was cold and calculating, multiple slashes happened as she moved, being that he was directly infront of her, it was a simple straight forward movement. Yet her lance would be able to slice through the body of her former first mate with ease. This was her intention, Her speed was insane, her body lightened within this mixture of a form, her true body mixed with her logia capabiltiies and the overall power of her lance being empowered by her new capabilities.

To put it in latent terms, what Arco believed what would not happen, Melissa attempted to make happen. She had attempted to kill him, her lance with its mass width and spikes, its sharp edge would aim to slice through the neck of her former crew mate, aiming to sever it from his body. Yes this means she had to push through the two hollows, though her intense speed and extended range would mean her strike would hit before her body passed through the creatures. It would be upon her re-appearance, when her body showed itself to the naked eye once more, that she finished her word. That she spoke the final word to the potential corpse of the Horo Horo No Mi User
