011 rose; video // you've got the ocean blue
[ When the phone is switched on, the phone has been knocked as it hits the ground. About her chaos, the patrol she'd ridden out with under a full attack by the cult, the men pour around them, killing her own. Not that she takes it lightly, Gabriel's blade is unsheathed and she's turning it in her hand as she brought it down onto a man's head, the bright light flaring as he died. Behind her is Selina, fighting just the same, smooth cat like grace and far better at it than Elizabeth. Dismounting by swinging a kick at the closest man's head. ]
Fall back! Now! [ the order was too late. Too many of them, far too many of them. The feed ended as one of the cult members found the phone. Picking it up and turning it off as somewhere behind all that Elizabeth's screams could be heard, cursing them at the top of her lungs. ]
[ When it came back on, it was a far different scene. The phone was being held up to show something far crueler than that. Selina restrained to the side, cult members locking her arms behind her back and restraining her. Her head being forcefully turned to watch what was about to happen.
And there was the Serpent, walking about proudly, and a voice that wasn't his own. Something closer to Bane as he gestured to where Elizabeth was. The Queen on her knees, hands tied behind her back and being forced over a block. It didn't matter how she struggled, the heavy hand pressed at her back kept her there. Though it was clear her panic was rising in her, how desperately whispering the same prayers over and over again. ]
We come here to try the bastard usurper for standing against us, and all those that would join her in this fight. [ The cheer went up as her head was wrenched back, and The Serpent strode closer, crouching beside her to talk to her personally. ] And how do you plead, Your Majesty?
[ Elizabeth's only response was to sneer, but hold herself as a Queen ought to. Trying to pull herself up as high as she could. ] I put myself into God's judgement, not yours. I commend my soul unto Him. My only hope is that you have enough goodness in your heart to spare those that only follow my orders. Call me their Queen for I serve them like one, and they should be spared your cruelties. [ Her look was plainly at Selina, trying to do her best to save her, as little as it was that could be done. After she finished though, she looked at the camera, direct, focused, hard. ] You sons of dogs, I'm dying for you. Generals, Captains, I don't care who. My study. My desk. Draws. Under the book of flowers --
[ His response to her desperate attempt was to backhand her across the mouth, effectively silencing her. The Serpent just laughed then, rising up once more. ] There is no mercy, not for your kind. Nothing you can do will save you now. [ His hands went over his chest, bowing to her. ] Do you forgive me, Your Majesty?
[ All that seemed to do was push back her fear, turning livid and fight against it all the harder. ] Never. I could never forgive you -- [ But that was too late, in the end. The Cult's cheering grew louder as a man in a black hood strode forward. In his hand was a sword. A beautiful blade, as it stood. But the man wielding it was clumsy as he dragged it through the dirt. The man restraining Elizabeth in the end put a foot on her back to keep her down were she thrashed still. ]
I give you, the Queen of England. May we learn from her fine, fine example! [ The crowd cheered at the display as the blade was lined up against the back of her neck. The cold steel glinting dully. Elizabeth's eyes closed tightly as she tried to slow her breathes down and embrace what was about to happen.
The first blow missed her neck. Lodging in her shoulders, and the blood that poured out swung in a splattering arc as the blade pulled back again. Dull, the blade was dull and the man not strong enough for his task -- became too apparent when he swung again and the blade hitting her neck firmly this time, but only half way through. She didn't scream, there was no sound that covered it. The last blow did as it was supposed to, severing her head from her shoulders. The blood spurted out in a spray, soaking the ground and wooden block. Her body slumped down without the life to hold it up. The head was taken away immediately, and her corpse dragged away. The sound of cheering was immense, loud, booming.
After the mess was cleaned away, all but the blood stain that soaked into the earth, Selina was brought forward. ]
[ The cat burglar struggled as they dragged her forward. Her steel heel went into one of the feet of the men, her elbow came up to the others face. With the small momentum she was able to twist on the balls of her feet. She punched one and kicked the other, intending to grab their weapon and use it against them.
Selina rose her hand up to strike again, but it was caught by Bane. The much larger man grabbed her other arm, twisting them in his hold. Selina let out a yelp and a hiss, attempting to get away from him. ]
My brothers! I believe we see what she will plead. [ The court cheers. ] And since she has such horrible manners for the Queen's guests... we choose, death! [ Bane twisted Selina in his hold, forcing her to face him. She was a little thing in his arms, and he held her close in one arm as his other hand went to his mask, and the laughter boomed as he took it away and looked her in the eyes, though his face could be seen by no one but Selina.
Then he raised her up and brought her down on his knee.
Crack!
Selina screamed in agony.
Bane tossed her body to the ground at the feet of the cult members, her lower half twisting a different way then the upper half. Selina stretched her hands out to try and claw herself away. ]
Do with her as you wish. Teach her and those like her what it means to interfere with our plans, brothers. Let this be a warning to the rest of this city's fine Honored Guests. We are coming.
[ The cult moved together, swarming her, they began to kick and beat at her. Her screams echoed from under them all. Till at long last, it went silent and the cult moved back, Selina's twisted body laying on the ground, no longer breathing.
At long last, the video was cut off, the gruesome display was over. ]
