Frigid Climax(Ami, Haruka, Natsume thread)

[Liddo-kun]

"Shoot me, that sucked hard..." Haruka comments with her head hung low.  She wasn't even sure she wanted to retrieve to the Space Sword now with how silly that just turned out.

"Do you think you have enough left in you for a Deep Submerge?" Haruka asks Viluy while still faced towards the ground.  "I may need you to spare me the humiliation by blasting me..." she comments in a tired mutter.

"And not a peep from you, Mau..." Haruka warns gravely.

Without waiting for a reply from either, Haruka scuttles off lamely to retrieve her errant Talisman.  Sad.  So very, very sad.

Ami shudders, panting with exertion, and makes her way over to where the new girl is grappling with the statue, and raises her lightsaber, swinging it in a low arc, to avoid accidentally striking Natsumi as she tries desperately to remove the thorn in both their sides...

[Anastasia]

OOC - Did the rolling for this myself. Apparently, the dice bots don't hate me as much. Go fig.

IC:

Plunging your ki blade into the statue's side, Natsume's blow is complimented seconds later by Ami's saber cutting into it's back and side! It stops moving, falling apart at two crushing blows! Ice weights heavily on Natsume as the magic animating it is foiled, pushing her back with a gust of weight. Far too close to the edge for anyone's taste, Natsume is a mere inch away from falling and the statue is leaning hard in it's dead ice pressure.

"I can manage a that or a small offensive with my Mosiac Buster," she replies, "But I don't know how much more past that..though firing up there?"

Artemis simply shakes his head minorly at this, enraptured with what he can see of Ami's struggle above. "Come on, Mercury!" he calls from Viluy's arms.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami grits her teeth, panic teasing at the edges of her mind. Oh god...this is my worst nightmare...if she gets killed after coming up to save me, I'll...I'll never forgive myself...

Switching off her lightsaber, Ami tosses it to the side, and lays her hands on the ice that once was a golem. Dipping into her Elemental contol once more, Ami narrows her eyes into slits This will take perfect timing...please let this go right... She takes a deep breath, and focuses on the obstacle threatening the girl's life, and commands the ice to shatter...

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "Ami-chan rolls 2d6-1 for breakin' stuff and gets 8."

Drawing deeply into your own reserves of energy and control over ice, Ami puts her power forward! Your Talisman glows with a silver-blue light at this, putting it's own power behind yours! With a single crackle then another and then a breaking storm of ice chips, the ice golem remains blow apart!

The weight on Natsume ends in a shower of cold chips, her body automatically getting to lean forward and away from the edge of the tower and perhaps her lifespan.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami shudders in relief, not taking any chances, and snares the girl by the wrist, pulling her further from the edge. Slumping and panting with exertion Ami looks her over. "Are you all right?" she asks softly.

[Midnight Sun]

Natsume slumps down to the ground, her body still shaking slightly from the entire ordeal. That was one harrowing experience she never wanted to repeat for the rest of her days.

"Y...yeah, I'm fine. Thanks to you," she says, managing to smile. "Who or what was that thing? It was so much stronger than all the others...."

[Bean Bandit]

"Well...it was an ice golem." Ami clarifies, dropping to the floor of the hole in the tower and wincing in pain as she probed gingerly at the wound on her leg. "But it was in the form of one of our most formidable enemies, Oxyite."

[Midnight Sun]

"Oxyite, huh. Well if his copy was that strong I'd hate to meet the real thing," Natsume says with a bit of jest. "Anyway, I think I've had my fill of high places for one day..."

She stands up slowly, stretching out a kink in her back before extending a hand and offering to help Ami down the stairs.

[Anastasia]

The Twins fly in as this happens, setting down on the somewhat crowded tower top now. Both look a bit worse for wear, but not critically so. Leaning on each other ever so noticiably, "Wait - we should probably regroup before we head into the actual castle," Cyprine points out, Ptilol nodding agreement.

"And Ami...you're bleeding," the other Witch notes, a good part of your left side fuku staining crimson, as well as small droplet streams of blood trickling down the side of your leg.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods, sighing, and blinking slightly as Natsume stretches, feeling a stab of envy...and Stop that. Pervert.

She blinks and refocuses on the twins, then looks down at her fuku...which proves to be a bad move, because examining the damage makes the pain far more difficult to ignore. "Mm. I can still walk on it..." she ventures.

[Anastasia]

"We can get some cloth from Artemis' clothing," Ptilol suggests, eyeing in the injury. "For a crude bandage, so you don't wear yourself out due to bloodloss."

Cyprine frowns, shaking her head. "Though...Sister, if she can walk on it, we should hurry. Another crowd of those ice golems would be a terrible thing for us to have to deal with on top of all this."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods, smiling wanly and biting her lip. "Mm. I can't drag everyone down..." she nods. "When we regroup, I see what I can come up with on the way, but for now, we can't afford to delay." she replies, trying to appease both sisters at once.

[Anastasia]

Ptilol shows a bit of concern, again eyeing your leg. "If you can," she concedes, giving her twin a look. Cyprine nods agreement,  "Let's go, then. The others should be waiting for us down below."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods agreement, sighing a little in relief. "Is Artemis okay? she asks, approaching them, and turning and beckoning to Natsume with a shy smile. "I didn't see what happened..."
