Melissa remained back, she was a little frustrated at how quickly one of the supposed powerful warriors had been defeated, the secret of his gun now lost, or whether he had any other capabilities, it seemed a tad anti-climatic. These two had stood beside the powerful Hao user upon the first day the warriors had arrived, they had withstood the hao with no effort what so ever, yet now the destruction of one had unravelled. Melissa had heard rumours of these two, perfect team work, yet the Ken user had not utilized a single word nor even made an attempt at halting the arrows. Exploding the floor, helping her brother out, nothing was done to prevent his death yet she was somewhat angry about this. Does this not mean his death was her own fault, she had the power to warn him, the power to easily caus chaos alongside her brethren yet she had chosen not to.

Before Melissa herself could move to intercept the secondary opponent, Nicky had taken the opening, thus the Yuki Yuki No Mi user held back. She doubted the navigator would want her to intefere with what could ultimately become a standing point for him if he were to win. This also allowed analysis of her style, yet it would seem even she was defeated easily enough. Yet like Nicky Melissa was wrong, the female upon touching the ground passed her power through it and the swelling of the floor burst open. Now it seemed the womans control was amazing, for the area in which she was at would be saved while this would also mean large chunks of debri were falling to the floor below, the floor that the archer was occupying.

Nicky would hit the wall with a rather loud thump and his body slumped down. The bleeding woman seemed to ignore her wound as she drew her blade. Her ken activated as always allowing her to see the presence of the three. Melissa whom had made no effort to move would simply watch the female as she began to approach Flash. "I wouldn't do that if i were you" the snow woman would utter, her eyes upon the pamu pamu no mi user. Melissa walked over the debris that had blasted her way yet seemingly failing to hit her. As she walked the Pamu wielder would take a few steps back. Melissa had exhausted her own haki stamina, thus she was incapable of telling were Naga was. "Naga, catch flash, get to the top of the building. I'll call you when i'm done here" Melissa would say.

"You can't call someone when your dead" the pamu pamu user would shout as she kicked the ground, swelling once more seemed to expand the remains of the lobby. Melissa had reached Flash by this point, intending to throw him through the hole in the floor, she hoped the archer would be able to manage his weight, but it was either get rid of him now OR have him blow up or potentially become Melissa's victim. Holding back her strength, holding back her power. She was ready to unleash it against this opponent, she just didn't want her allies getting caught up in it, she couldn't risk getting them hurt. The swelling reached its peak, and the explosion would rock the entirety of the building, settling down the wind from outside blasted through the mass hole in the justice building, it would seem  the effects had taken out the room above and the room below, the scars looking as though a giant had taken a bite from the building itself.

"Impossible" the woman snarled, her haki could already tell that Melissa was alive. for upon the smoke clearing, the small yet thick orb of snow seemed to levitate in the air. the snow was blackened, debris had cut chunks away, but as it would reveal the mistress of snow was fine. "This is going to be fun" Melissa uttered with a smile, "I'll avenge my brother" she screeched as the female touched down upon the closest free floor, the pamu user followed desencending to the floor that was below the one that Naga had previously occupied. "It's your fault his dead, you could have warned him something was happening. If your going to avenge him then surely killing yourselfs the way to go, don't wanna break a nail on your face ya know" Melissa would utter. That seemed to do it. The woman screamed in defiance her sea stone sword raised. Melissa also charged.

The woman easily avoided the arrow that was utilized as a distraction, Melissa would grant her crew a nod before before following her actions. "Yeah you did Kiddo, I'll whoop her for ya" Melissa would utter, yet this was only loud enough for her to hear. The rest of her actions continued all the way to the charge. The two woman would close the distance, the wind would caus embers to dance through the missing piece of the tower flowing over the duo as they charged. The female brought her sword down. Yet the Yuki Yuki No Mi user would spin, the sword striking the ground. The warrior of power would aim her fist to strike her opponent. Yet the sudden swelling halted her, the explosion of the Pamu Pamu users arm was small, yet enough to blast the snow devil fruit user back and into the wall with a thud.

Unlike her navigator though she recovered much quicker, her endurance superior, she had of course been knocked around by far stronger opponents. "You avoided my sword, I guess you know its sea stone, one touch and bam, good bye devil fruit" "Sorry darling, I had no idea, you were just slow, thought i saw an opening" Melissa uttered as she stood up. "My brothers demise by that bitch of a captain threw me off guard, i was stupid in letting you even get that close. You Melissa Devaroux, bain of the South Blue, assaulted the 153rd in the Yotsuba, insane strength and eater of the Yuki Yuki No Mi. New intel shows you have become proficent in Haki and even hold the Kings Haki. Your death will bring me to new heights" The pamu pamu user woud utter with a smile.

"Sweet, but honestly your death just means I don't have to hear your voice. It's annoying really" Melissa would say smiling. She already had a plan, it was dangerous, it was stupid but oh boy would it be hilarious. "BITCH" she uttered, It was apparent that the woman knew full well that allowing Melissa the chance to get close would be a mistake even with the use of her haki. Keeping the yuki user at a distance was the smartest thing to do. Thus the woman placed her free hand upon the ground, Melissa knew what was coming. The swelling began to form and soon the Yuki Yuki No Mi user was charging down the hall, the swelling coming after her like a rabid beast. Melissa would skid to a halt, her fist struck the wall and soon she charged through the hole she had made in to another room. Continuing her run the hallway would explode, yet another large piece of Enies lobby would be cast off from its main body. Revealing the insides of many rooms and many floors. Flames had yet to lick even the base of the building the flires seemingly keeping to the main side of enies that they had been on.

Those people whom were working hard to put out the fires would shudder, worry for what was going on. The place of the marines was alight, the tower erupting, breaking in to pieces. Melissa would continue her movement, for whenever she took time to catch her breath, the swelling would start and explosions would ring out. Eventually Melissa found herself on the bottom floor. Her clothign singed, some burns scattered across her body, her hair singed and blackened ash would cover her clothing and skin. Her fists had broken through so much rock that they were covered in powder. But the explosions had stopped.

Biting her lip Melissa whom had descended would be forced to ascend. The tower of justice now looked like a puzzle piece, debris littered its halls, chunks were missiing and it looked like a large creature had taken bites out of every corner. The structure was weakening, Melissa had made sure of that, for she had struck the supports of the building during her movement. It shuddered occasionally. Eventually Melissa came upon her foe once more, the pamu user sweating from over using her abilities. Melissa also puffing and huffing. "Done running bitch" the pamu panted. "You call it running, I call it doing my job suger" Melissa would utter also panting.

Thus once more the fight began, the two woman were somewhat evenly matched, they were great at avoiding eachothers strikes. The pamu had a distinct disadvantage due to the swelling, it took time even for the smallest explosion. Melissa knew what attack she needed to utilize to end this. Alas she was unable to get close enough to release it, when she got close the pamu erupted her own body, which seemed to regenerate instantly. It was somewhat of a stale mate except the woman hadn't a hit on her while Melissa had taken damage over time and it was beginning to take its toll. She couldn't get close, her intangibility would be useless against the sea stone sword.

Melissa moved, her hands of snow forming as she charged, picking up a stone Melissa threw it , but the haki of the woman allowed her to dodge it, yet the hands of snow would manage to wrap around her foe. Thankfully. Melissa Devaroux panted hard. "Game over" Melissa would say as she fell to her knees. She willed her hands to crush the woman yet nothing happened. Well something did, the hands like the lobby like everything this woman touched expanded, then exploded. The force pushing Melissa to the stair case. They had ascended to one of the untouched floors. Melissa, breathing hard would shakily get to her knees. "Looks like you were right, your done for, you exhausted youself avoiding my attacks, and now your out of tricks. You can't even hit me" The woman would say with a triumphant voice.

Melissa would stand, smiling as she looked to the woman. "You think this is over huh?, then you look stupider than your brother, and he fucking died" Melissa would say grinning. A screech from the female would be all the reply she offered as she charged, her blade ready. Melissa would also react upon the female closing the distance, her hand striking the ground with such force that a shockwave erupted, passing through the pamu user. "If i can't hit you, i'll just get your surroundings" Melissa would say as the female spat out blood, yet her endurance was impressive. She managed to jump backwards even while taking internal damage.

The two would dance, moving beautifully, weaving in and out, though this time Melissa was able to get a few hits in though the exhaustion would weaken her physical strikes, they still caused enough damage to force noises from the devil fruit user, she managed to strike her sword hand and the sword clanged to the ground. The given positon now had Melissas back up against a wall, in which would lead to the outside. The pamu user would charge at her, adrenaline and anger seemingly getting the better of logic. Her fist expanded as she aimed it at the Yuki user. "Fucked up" Melissa uttered as she pushed off the wall. Her body turned to snow as she pushed herself through the body of the female prior to spinning on the spot. The pamu user exploded her fist yet the explosion was weak, using the momentum to turn herself around. Alas this would only have her come face to fist, Melissas power pushing forth as she struck the female square in the face, the nose broke, her head struck the wall but it would keep going, the wall gave way from the force and the female was sent flying through the air, towards the flame. "Got ya" Melissa would say to what she believed to be an unconcious body.

Yet this woman surprised her, half way through her descent the body flipped over, seemingly gliding on the wind. Marines would look up, seeing their fighter hearing her words. "MELISSA DEVAROUUUUUX" she screeched. To Melissas surprise, the womans feet would swell up and explode, propelling her in to the air at quick speeds. "No fucking way" Melissa would say as she walked from her looking point. Picking up the sea stone sword Melissa would return to see the girl had made it half way to the point in which she had exited the building. "WHY WON'T YOU DIE BITCH" Melissa would say as she pulled in her strength ,releasing the sword with as much force as she could. It flew beutifully, spiralling before piercing its owner. The outstretched hand of the female would falter. Marines would scream as they watched the sword insert in to the female, the force literally pushing her backwards and in to the flames. "THATS IT BITCH, FUCKING STAY DOWN" Melissa would say as she slumped against the wall.

The tower began to shudder gently. Taking in a few breaths Melissa steadied herself, moving to the first support she could find. Striking it with her monsterous power, she would already be fleeing as the fissure began to form, runnign upwards and downwards upon the beam, it would hit the beam that she had already weakened, and soon the tower of justice would be nothing. Melissa would run up a few stairs, at this point she was on her den den mushi. "Right wall, BIG WINDOW JUMP" Melissa shouted and then she jumped out of the large window, smashing the glass as she did so, using her hands to cover her face. Then all she felt was air, she descended with speed, but her legs were already deteriating and her form soon took place of her element. Utilizing the motion to slow her descent, she would manouvre herself away from the section of enies that was on fire, though at this point the blaze was getting under control. Her eyes scanned the air and in true form her crew had jumped. Taking in a deep breath Melissa formed her hands of snow once more, holding on to the orbs that conjured them. HEr crew were caught within the mass hands and soon the yuki woman pulled her and her crew over the void and gided them to the west side of enies far away from the blaze and the other marines. Her descend was less than lovely due to exhaustion thus she struck the roof with a massive thud and her hands of snow faded dropping her crew....yet all were safe.

Breathing heavily, Melissa Devaroux would remain upon the roof of the building of which they had landed upon. Her chest rising rapidly, fully expanding before deflating over and over again. She was struggling to catch her breath, she had performed some major feats and expanded a lot of energy after all. Thankfully they were safe, or so she would have thought. She would place her hand in to the air, still lying upon her back and give her captain a thumbs up smiling as they did so, the official destractions they had caused surely would keep the marines guessing upon their location. She did not in fact factor in the devastating news that more marines would descend upon them. Ofcourse, they were causing major chaos at a marine strong hold, naturally someone would have relayed an order for back up or something. According to their captain this would mean three battleships in total. To this news Melissa would rise, her breathing still heavy. It would seem her job was still not done, yet she was feeling the effects of pushing herself ever so slightly. She like Naga would see the damage the fire had done, the column of smoke. Indeed the damage was severe, perhaps they should have thought about this prior to actually doing it.

Melissa would nod at Naga's suggestion, "I can do it...just keep an eye out for attacks, I'm in no state to avoid much" Melissa would say gently, regretting pushing herself so much in her previous bout, the young woman would hold her hands out for her allies to take hold of her, her legs dissolving in to the familiar snow storm in which she had become previously. This would allow her to carry her allies back over the void, though her movement was slower with the two added weights, she was incapable of performing her snow hands capability to carry them across like before, she wasn't willing to drain herself any further, she couldn't afford to do so. Not if she had to protect her allies. Yet it would be quick enough, they had the advantage due to not having to push through bodies of marines, not having to watch for fire. Thus she would drop her allies off upon touching down once more at the remains of the tower. She had previously weakened the structures lower beams so the remains were somewhat also unsteady.

As they landed, Melissa would breath in deeply, her feet returning to normal as she touched down upon the earth, "Sorry Nicky, that blizzard might be a bit much just now" she would say, sweat glistened upon her forehead. She had struggled to actually carry her allies but they made it. Her strength was slowly waining. Melissa would not enter the building, not like Flash had asked, She would take cover behind the rubble, sitting with her back towards the bridge that brought one to the destroyed tower. She trusted her allies, but she was exhausted, she needed to get her breath back or she would be useless.
