**Aerial Duel Over Akatai**
Outside Akatai Castle, the sky had become a swirling canvas of emerald and silver. Kiki hovered like a vengeful specter, her lower body dissolved into viridian mist that pulsed with malevolent energy. Across from her, Bel stood ensconced within a shimmering orb of compressed air—the **Wind's Embrace**—her blonde braids whipping like battle standards in the self-generated storm.
"Still wasting energy?" Bel called, her voice carrying the crisp crity of high-altitude winds. "Your poisons can't touch me here!"
Kiki's ughter slithered through the air, thick as syrup. "Oh darling, you think your little *bubble* makes you invincible?" The toxin mistress raised arms that shimmered with bioluminescent veins, her entire form flickering between corporeal and gaseous states. "Let's test that theory."
What followed was a macabre dance—Kiki's misty tendrils shed forward like living serpents, only to be shredded by razor-edged gales. The battlefield became a kaleidoscope of cshing forces: viridian poison met silver wind in explosions that painted the clouds acid-green.

### **The Poisoned Chalice**
"**Soul-Devouring Urn!**"
The world *warped*.
Bel's stomach lurched as gravity inverted. She plummeted through a void darker than cosmic night, the roar of wind in her ears repced by an oppressive silence. Instinct took over—palms thrust downward, she unleashed concentrated air bsts to slow her descent. The impact when she nded sent cracks spiderwebbing across an obsidian floor.
Light bloomed overhead, revealing a grotesque monument—a colossal bck teapot towering ten meters high, its spout gaping like the maw of a primordial beast. Kiki perched atop it, legs crossed with casual cruelty, her hair streaming in a nonexistent breeze.
"First time seeing my Domain?" The toxin mistress tapped the urn's lid, which opened with a sound like a tomb unsealing. "Don't worry—you'll remember it forever."
The teapot *sprouted*. Dozens of smaller spouts erupted across its surface like metallic barnacles, each vomiting torrents of violet fog. The air thickened to syrup, every breath searing Bel's lungs despite her wind barrier.
"Two minutes," Kiki sang, examining her nails. "That's how long until your precious winds become poison delivery systems."

### **Eye of the Storm**
Bel's eyes narrowed. With a roar that shook the void, she smmed her palms together.
"**Storm's Eye!**"
A cyclone erupted around her—a spinning maelstrom of purified air that ripped toxins from the atmosphere. The vortex glowed sickly purple as it absorbed the poison, creating a fragile pocket of breathable space.
Kiki's smirk faltered—then returned tenfold. "Clever girl. But predictable."
The teapot's spouts retracted with wet *schlucks*. For a heartbeat, silence reigned—then the main spout yawned wide, inhaling with the force of a bck hole. Bel's storm unraveled stitch by stitch, the stolen poisons—and their creator—being sucked into the urn's bottomless depths.
"NO!" The wind mistress anchored herself with air bdes dug into the floor—useless. Her boots left molten grooves in the obsidian as she slid toward oblivion.

### **The Prison of Fog**
The urn's interior defied physics—an endless byrinth of dripping walls and hissing vents. Bel crawled through ankle-deep sludge that reeked of rotting orchids, her winds reduced to feeble gusts.
"Join us," Kiki's voice oozed from the walls. "Illya's vision needs strategists like you."
"Go... to hell..." Bel spat blood-tinged phlegm.
