Frigid Climax(Ami, Haruka, Natsume thread)

[Bean Bandit]

Ami shivers at the sight of this many enemies, well aware that's she's nearly tapped out. Closing her eyes and concentrating, she digs deep, trying to summon new life and energy to fight with...

[Anastasia]

Seeing your friends in danger lights a frosty determination in you, swelling your body with a burst of refound gumption and energy. Your tired senses focus again, your body feels more awake and alive.

Landing and wasting no time, Viluy begins to focus, the Twins joining the combat as well with red and blue blasts of energy!

[Bean Bandit]

Ami turns to the nearest attackers of ice, and narrows her eyes in concentration. She frowns, wanting to conserve her newfound energy, and simply concentrates on the ice covering everything, commanding it to rise up from the floor in jagged spikes, impaling the nearest attackers, and holding them in place...

[Anastasia]

* Musk-bot --> "Ami-chan rolls 2d6+1 for Staglacite action. Or botching action. Whichever. and gets 8."

IC:

Using her newfound fuel, Ami causes spikes to rise up! Forming here and there form patches of ice she is able to control, several attackers are skewered! Most shatter on the penetration, though a few writhe on the pointy ice, caught and broken!

As this happens, an ice lion is met with a torrent of water that knocks it hard into a wall, and two others are hit with blue and red beams, melted!

As this happens, Ami catches something coming out of the corner of her eye! Dodging to the side on pure instinct, a catclaw just misses you! Another ice big cat is stalking you, it's previous attack coming far too close to making you catnip!

[Midnight Sun]

Natsume feels the air beginning to stir, only to settle back down just as quickly. At the same time, the odd presence coming from the mysterious girl in front of her stops.

"What...happened?"

Suddenly, massive spears of ice explode from the ground all around her, impaling the ice demons in great number. The ice was actually turning against itself? What was going on?

[Liddo-kun]

Haruka wasn't sure any real words could sum up how silly that whole series of action just turned out.  She holds her pose stiffly as the icy water sloshes off her face to the frozen ground below.

"....."

That sucked on a magnitude beyond measure....  The ground should just open up and swallow me here and now....

"That was SO not in the script..." she mutters as she decides to keep steady with the conventional and use her Space Sword once more.

[Liddo-kun]

"I... lost my concentration and botched..." Haruka tells the girl with a touch of annoyance coloring her tone, but she's not allowed to wallow in misery for long as the icy landscape reflects the hand of Mercury at work.

"Good work, Mercury!" Haruka calls out to the girl.  Better than me... she says quietly to herself with an annoyed sigh.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami stifles the urge to shriek as she's barely missed by the big cat, the direct and near miss driving her heart rate up.

"Nice Kitty..." She babbles nervously, keeping a careful eye on the ice beast staking her. Keeping a wary eye on the monster while she regains her concentration, preparing to summon he elemental control once more.

I'm burning energy like...well, like water! she moans in frustration. Seized by sudden inspiration she attempts to wrest constol of the ice creature...

[Anastasia]

* Musk-bot --> "Ami-chan rolls 2d6+2 for neko-ken action and gets 10."

IC:

As this happens, you hear the sounds of a hiss, as Ptilol is engaged by another ice beast! Yet the happenings of the others and the cheer of Uranus are lost on you as you focus on the great cat!

A momentary war takes place over the icy fighter....and Ami is pushed back, the cat attacking after the failure!

OOC: * Musk-bot --> "Anastasia rolls 2d6 and gets 5."

* Musk-bot --> "Ami-chan rolls 2d6 to save my own hide. and gets 3."

IC:

Seeing the fell charge herself, Ami darts to the side and avoids becoming a scratching post for the cat!

[Anastasia]

On seeing the scenario and rejoining the fray, Haruka notes the Ptilol is kicked fairly hard by a martial arts style ice figure, garnering a muffled outcry of pain.

As you slash away and cut open another foe, you see the battle is going! With your actions and the actions of your friends, the ranks of your foes are thinning! But, Ami is currently being dogged by a huge cat, just now avoiding a nasty claw attack.

[Liddo-kun]

Who to help first? she asks herself before hearing Ptilol let out a cry of pain at the strike.  I'll just have to trust Ami can take care of herself for now... Haruka tells herself as she raises her Space Sword into action against the pugilist of ice.

[Anastasia]

With your speed, it's a simple matter to dart across and stabbify the attack on Ptilol. Looking up with a nod and a quick 'thanks' smile of battle, Ptilol turns to Ami.

"Can you help Ami? I need to find Cyprine!" As she says this, though, Viluy cries out! Slashes across her leg by a katana bearing samurai scupture and a bit away of the main fray, Viluy's blood is drawn!

[Bean Bandit]

Ami shudders, deciding that interesting as her idea had been, she'd much prefer a quick end to this. Summoning her elemental control once more, and beginning to feel weary again, Ami tries for a quick finish summoning ice to rise up from the floor in a rush, impaling the beast like it's fellows...

[Anastasia]

* Musk-bot --> "Ami-chan rolls 2d6 for dear god, make it End! ;-; and gets 10.

IC:

Trying to penetrate the great cat is a good attempt, but Ami can't seem to quite summon the proper control in this state! So failing again, the cat lunges, teeth bared to chomp into the genius girl!

* Musk-bot --> "Anastasia rolls 2d6 and gets 10."

Yet again, partly by fear, partly by reaction, Ami evades! As this happens, you h ear Viluy behind you. A cry, and not a happy cry at all. A cry of pain...

[Liddo-kun]

The cry of pain from Viluy sends a dread chill down Haruka's back that causes her to quickly whirl around.

Sailor Neptune....

...blood...

and...

...a sword...

The concern that originally motivated her action gives way to a roiling, fiery anger that consumes her mind at the sight.  It was as if a cold hand had clamped around her being and squeezed tight, as her rational mind was starting to black away and focus solely on the sight of an injured Sailor Neptune.

No, no, no, no, NO!  We are NOT doing this again!!

As if echoing the sentiments of its wielder, the blade of her Talisman is engulfed in golden light.  Haruka raises the blade high over head as words of a long past era leave her lips once again in this new age.

Space Sword... BLASTER!!
