Battle of The Bands Arc

[Anonymous]

*Attack now, Yosho!* Feeling a surge of energy roar through his shared link with Funaho, Yosho went in low as he almost flew along the ground.

His blade chimed as he easily slid his katana from the saya, closing the distance between himself and the demon.

Feeling his blood sing as energy crackled along his katana's blade, he roared out a battle cry as he took a mighty leap.

Looking down at the stage, he unleashed a vicious triad of vacuum blades. Edges crackling with electricity, they hungrily descended on their prey.

The monster smiled, here was a feast like no other.  They were all helpless before his musical power.  Huh...what...

The monster screamed in pain as the glowing blades of energy impacted it's form, cleaving through its soft flesh and rending its bones apart.  With a frightful wail of pain, its hold on the audience fell apart.  Collapsing dead, the fearsome purple people eater was no more.

The loud speakers flicked on seconds later.  "Due to unexpected technical difficulties, it will be ten minutes before the next performance.  We thank you for your patience in this."

Several maintaince people swarmed onto the stage, swiftly trying to clean the beast off of it so the next performer could go on.

Meanwhile...

"Mou...  you acted fast, Yosho." Raya smiled up at him childishly.  Uneffected strangely by the whole proceedings.

Yosho slowly slid his blade back into its saya, looking a touch pale in the aftermath. Quickly running his hand thorugh his gray hair, he smiled at Raya.

"Well, psionics should never be given enough time to full assert their control over a crowd." He mumbled.

Olguin groaned pitieously from his seat on the ground, and looked up at the duo. "You two and Leets were very impressive." He begrudgingly started, "All I could do was stand and watch." A tone of bitterness creeped into his words in the end.

Yosho's amethyst eyes developed a hint of concern as he looked down at Olguin, "What's wrong, lad. You tried your best, and managed to hold off the effects for a good long while."

"But...I FAILED. Another psionic attack brought me low!"

[Dracos]

"Psionics?  Is that what you call this?" Raya looked up cheurbishly at olguin.

"Um...yeah." Olguin sighed as he rubbed his head in agony. "Oh, we haven't really met, have we? My name's Olguin."

He faintly smiled at the girl before another lance of pure agony lanced through his brain, causing him to stiffen up and crash to the ground on his back.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch Runaway Five's dressing room.

Sasami began to do what is known simply as...

The Mad Dash (TM).

Sasami madly dashed through her dressing room. Sparing only a moment to glare at the evil alarm clock, she continued to grab clothing.

The blasted thing hadn't woken her up from her nap! Quite a colorful assortment of words ran through her mind that would've shocked anyone that had roomed with her before.

Dashing into the bathroom, she slammed the door shut behind her.

The sounds of water running and soft humming could be heard within the small dressing room. Sasami's soft humming abruptly cut off a few moments later.

Silence filled the room.

Then a noise could be faintly heard from within the bathroom. Something that was halfway between a squeak and a gasp.

The water abruptly cut off then. Followed by the sounds of rapid footsteps.

Sasami burst into the dressing room, towel wrapped tightly around her body to protect her modesty, another one wrapped around her hair.

Curiously enough, her skin was darkly flushed. That...and she seemed to be breathing rather deeply.

"O-oh my..." She quietly murmured. Who knew this body could do THAT.

Sasami shook her head, dispelling the little ball of heat that had been settling down in her tummy. Sighing as she lost that sense of languid relaxation, she began to undress.

...she really should've dried up first.

Cold air met wet skin....

Her loud shriek of surprise briefly hung in the air. Sounds of muffled thumps and squeals managed to make it past the thick (and locked, fortunately) wooden door to the hallway.

Two minutes later, she practically bolted out of her room, Hina-ohki lazily perched on her head. Practically bowling over anyone unfortunate enough in her way, Sasami struggled with the jacket of her black business suit.

She flushed when another person stared at her, forcing her arms to block her chest.

"Not a great way to start the day, Sasami." She muttered. Still struggling to put on her jacket while guarding her chest from oogling eyes that wanted to look at her chest through her white buttoned up shirt, all while running towards the stage.

Nope, not a very good start indeed.

[Dracos]

Raya's eyes narrowed.  "Olguin?  What...  Jinn...show me the wisdom of the skies, what ails Olguin!"  Gesturing with her staff, green energy followed her line of motion.  An aura of magical power briefly flared around her as Jinn appeared before her in all it's blue skinned glory.

The pudgy floating blue genie appeared, dancing in the air above Olguin, wind spinning around it.  Glowing with energy it blew towards the young man.  Olguin glowed for a few seconds before going back to normal.

Miyuki watched the proceedings interestedly, but gasped in surprise and alarm when Olguin fell to the ground.

She darted over to his side, and leaned over, about to check his vitals when the little girl called down what looked like a blue genie, from a storybook her father used to read to her.

She looked at the little girl, blinking in surprise.

[Dracos]

Raya gasped as Jinn relayed back to her the truth of the matter, unhidden from his sight.  Her eyes suddenly grew very serious.  No longer was there any sense of a child there, she suddenly seeming far older than she looked as she held her small staff up.
 "Stand back please.  He's been sincerely damaged by an intense psionic attack.  I have to heal him immediately, the longer he remains unhealed the worse the potential for permanent memory loss."

Miyuki blinked again and wordlessly stepped back, tensing. The words rang true...but she wasn't going to leave Olguin in someone else's hands without keeping a VERY careful eye on the proceedings.

He needed someone to look after him sometines too, after all...

[Dracos]

Getting some space around Olguin, the spriteling raised her staff high.  No earthly force would work here.  Even the healing powers of Undine, that which restores the soul and the body, were useless against such a cruel attack of the mind.  But, she could heal him with the power of Luna, mana spirit of the moon.

A golden circle appeared around her as she began to channel the mana, symbols of change and rebirth marking the ground beneath her feet.  "Spirit of the heavens, holy mistress of change...  come to my call, I, Raya, Summon thee!"

A soft and healing light appeared before Raya's staff, growing in size and form to become a sphere of several feet in diameter.  Inside a young angelic woman appeared, completely formed of light.  Golden wings streched from her back as a matronly smile graced her face.

Olguin groaned as he felt another surge of pain roar through his head. Feeling dizzy and weak in the aftermath, he weakly tried to get away from that surge of incredible power.

That's when Yosho's words rang through his mind.

"Olguin, stop." His voice was filled with iron as he addressed the Saotome body, "Raya won't hurt you. If you won't trust her, then trust my words. She won't hurt you."

Yosho, on the other hand, was incredibly angry at the moment. The boy had every right to be terrified of such large amounts of power, but he wouldn't let the boy's fear stop him from being healed.

"A-alright..." Olguin voice was trembling and weak as he lay still, body occasionally shaking with each surge of pain that assaulted his mind.

[Dracos]

OOC: The nature of the lady of the moon, curious that.

IC:

The glowing angel flowed over Olguin, floating above him.  A loving voice spoke into his mind.  -Be calm...for I have come to help you at the behest of the last child of mana.-

The pain began to lessen as it was blocked off.

Yui watched, concern written on every feature of her face. She whispered softly, trying to keep her voice unheard, "I wonder...can that kind of healing be taught?"
