The spider’s fangs sunk into the dragon’s neck, delivering their toxic gift to the monster’s bloodstream. As Volucris and Cerulean struggled, Ziz had taken to the air above the cloud of steam, and was manipulating it with her powers of the air. Even now it was beginning to collect around the two. Volucris felt the familiar stinging sensation of the steam on her carapace, and Cerulean flinched as her own attack blanketed her form. Ziz began to increase the temperature, and the steam began to cook its former owner and the spider alive. Both trashed and screeched in a tangle of limbs as the steam delivered excruciating first-degree burns to every inch of their bodies.
Electricity cracked around her wings. Dozens of bolts of lightning enveloped the area all at once, each strike delivering countless volts of electricity into their bodies. Volucris’ carapace shriveled like a raisin under the sheer power of the storm; smoke billowing from her joints as the lightning baked her alive. Cerulean fared a bit better, but her scales still popped and blackened under the intense fury of the lighting. Their muscles spasmed, leaving them helpless against the onslaught. Icy beams erupted from Cerulean’s jaws in a desperate attempt to hit the bird.
A lucky strike tore across Ziz’s wing!
Falling from the sky, Ziz was just barely able to stop herself from hitting the ground. This was enough time for her two opponents to escape the faltering storm. A powerful beam of electricity suddenly erupted from the bird’s beak, striking Cerulean square across the head and sending her flying onto her back, electricity painfully jolting across her skull and a brutal third degree burn forming on her face where the beam had struck; a wound of blackened flesh burnt right past the scales and skin, oozing pus.
Turning her attention to the fleeing spider, Ziz aimed a second electric beam, aiming for the underside of Volucris’ thorax…

Cerulean is DQed. This is now a match between Ziz and Volucris.
Gira, you have the standard one week's time to post.

Volucris screeched as the electric bolt hit home, scorching and burning at her underside. The oversized arachnid swore and snarled, twisting around to face Ziz, ignoring Cerulean being teleported out. The massive fangs on the spider glistened with poison as she brought up her abdomen from underneath her, and fired a string of webbing up at the godly bird. Ziz took evasive action, and rolled out of the way...
Only to be ensnared in a SECOND net of webbing. Grinning, Volucris yanked down and sideways, and with that, pulled the Lord of the Skies out of the air and into a building, debris falling everywhere as the upper half of the building collapsed upon Ziz, only for the whole thing to come crashing down to the street floor. Volucris grinned as she leapt upon the rubble. Oh, if only her older sister were here to see this. She could show to her that just because she was younger, that didn't mean she was weaker... Oh no, she deserved the title of Spider Queen for her size and strength, though she would be sure to give Arana an equal footing beside her.
Raising herself upon her hind legs, Volucris stabbed her front legs down into the debris. She was awarded with a cry of pain, and blood squirting up from the rubble. Good... so she had managed to pierce the bird's back, and leave another lovely place to deliver poison. Arching her head back, she prepared to thrust it downward, and sink her vemon-coated fangs into the bleeding wounds of the Sky Goddess...

A flash of lightning. Deafening cracks of thunder. Volucris felt a fiery pain racing up her legs. A second flash blinded her, and the thunder roared in her ears. She felt her feet leave the ground.
She toppled to the ruin streets, carapace smoking from the electric shock. Rubble shattered across the torn pavement as Ziz emerged. Her eyes, normally the color of bronze, were glowing a fierce electric blue. The wind built up to a furious howl as Ziz spread her wings, and a storm of lightning bolts burst from the glowing feathers.
Volucris shrieked. Her legs flailed madly as she tried to scuttle away. The searing bolts soon overcame her muscles, and the arachnid slumped to the ground. The putrid scent of burning flesh attacked her nostrils. Smoke seeped from the joints of her armor.
But Ziz wasn’t about to cook the spider to death. Mercy for the voracious predator calmed the titanic storm. Soon there was nothing left but the occasional spark that flashed across the bird’s wings. Ziz stood where she was, waiting for Volucris to recover.
“This isn’t right,” she said, and her now bronze eyes studied the area Cerulean had been moments before. The dragon warrior was gone, and the once proud city was nothing more than a pile of ruins. Her hurricane had been more destructive than intended. A wave of guilt washed over her as she glanced back to the agonized arachnid. “I’m sorry. I should never have done this. I should have never acted under the UCA’s tyranny.”
The spider seemed confused at first, as though she had never seen a talking bird in her life. Then it transformed into a frightening grin. A grin of sadism.
A string of silk wrapped around Ziz’s neck and flung her face first into the ground. The bird quickly acted in self-defense, and a blade of condensed air sliced across Volucris’s face.
The spider shrieked. She lunged forward with pointed fangs, but yet another blade of air was hurtling towards her…
(EDIT: God damnit, "VOLUCRIS"!!!)

OOC: Silly KK... getting the arachnid sisters mixed up just seems to keep plaguing you.
Vulucris's eyes widened as the air blade came for her. She tried to evade it, but with how fast it was, she still got graved across the abdomen, black blood dripping from the new cut there. She hissed as she locked her gaze back on the rising goddess. Her prey... would not escape... but then, she already had given it just what she wanted. As Ziz tried to fly higher, her muscles began to weaken. She was getting hot under the feathers, her skin bubbling and developing rashes, and the illnesses and venom that had been building up the entire fight were now taking hold. The Goddess of the Sky crash landed back down onto the ground, hurting and tormented by the constant pain ravaging her.
"Well well... what do we have here?" Volucris hissed as she brought down one sharp leg into Ziz's back. The bird screeched as the leg stabbed into her, blood churning up from the stab would as she twisted it around in the would abit, before she lifted the leg back out. "Talking birds really are a rarity for me... The hell raven was one thing, but you are something else." Here she grabbed Ziz's head, and lifted the suffering bird's skull up to look into her many eyes. "Don't take this the wrong way. We youkai merely feed upon others so that we ourselves can live. We care not what prey is like, or where it comes from... only that it is what it is."
With that, she dug her fangs into Ziz's neck. The eyes of the bird blinked wildly as she tried to struggle, but the spider had her in a hold.Her blood was being sucked up, and more vemon was being injected. More deadly, poisonous venom to further weaken the great bird... She let go, two puncture holes not in Ziz's neck. "Your blood.. it tastes like that of a god.... Arana would be amused to hear I have drunken the blood of a god!" She mused mostly to herself, before leaping upward into the sky. Her legs came together, aimed downward as she plummeted, ready to skewer the bird against the ground...

A powerful gust of wind tore head on into the falling spider. It felt like hitting pavement. Pain raced across her body as her legs cracked and their armor splintered into her joints. The blow sent her back up into the air like a ragdoll, where a second blast of air smashed into her from the side. Cartwheeling through the air, she was helpless as a third gust slammed into her face like a rock. A fourth slammed itself into the underside of her thorax, and finally, a last blast of air slammed her back into the ground like a war hammer.
Volucris shrieked as the pavement exploded around her, piercing cracks echoing across the ruined landscape as sections of her carapace broke. A harsh beam of electricity tore into her exposed abdomen, finally biting through the thick shell to roast the vulnerable meat inside. Lightning snapped across the body, earning painful jolts with every second. It was only with luck that Volucris managed to fire a strand of webbing at Ziz’s legs, tripping the bird and causing her to land hard on the ground.
But before the spider could take advantage of the situation, she shrieked as an invisible spear of air plunged itself deep into her new wound, twisting about like a small tornado to suck up a geyser of blood and loose flesh. Another heavy blast of air came rushing down towards Volucris’s skull…

With all this powerful wind blowing around, Volucris was getting sick and tired of it. It was driving her mad. This was why she preferred to stay down in the caverns, where such powerful winds and lightning never existed!
Sensing danger coming, the arachnid leapt out of the way, just in time to avoid the deadly air blast. With the webbing that had Ziz down still attached to her, she yanked on it once she had landed. Ziz was tugged along the ground, before several spear-like legs dug into her body. Volucris twisted them making sure to do as much damage to the bird as she could, before she pulled them out. Then, she reared in to take a bite of blood...
only to get hammered by a wing to the face. it was like getting slapped by an oversized swan. Vulucris reeled from the hit, which hurt her head horribly. It felt like it was going to crack apart. Enraged, she charged, and slammed Ziz back down onto the ground before she could take off. webbing coming from her abdomen, she began to bind the bird up, while biting her at the base of the neck. Even more poison was now being administered into Ziz's system, poison that was sure to wreck havoc on her body. Picking up the webbing, Volucris began to twirl it around and around, disorienting Ziz as she spin faster and faster on all 8 legsn before letting go, hurling the cocooned spider into a large, already unstable tower...

As Ziz was warped away in a bright light before she could hit the building, Volucris didn't seem too happy with her win. Rather, she was annoyed. It didn't feel right to her. It was a hollow victory, one that didn't satisfy the arachnid. It had been a hard fight, yes... but it was not something she could just rub in her sister's face. She was warped off back to her hub room, to get proper healing...
