The alarm was still blaring in Adora's ear, but the rush of familiar power drowned it out, making it easy to ignore as she utterly molly-wopped this demon. She didn't even expect to knock it over! Yet, Adora had to remain focused - remember that this power-up wouldn't last [i]forever.[/i] Though, it was still more resilient than expected when it immediately began to correct itself ([i][color=fd8a6c]Just means I gotta punch it again[/color][/i])...

The twister hit Adora with the force of a freight train, slamming into her mid-motion as she geared up for another punch. The impact stole air from her lungs, and she staggered back. She barely had time to brace as the frosty cyclone enveloped her, making her wish that she had worn just a [i]little bit[/i] more than this. The wind howled around her, drowning out everything except the relentless chill. Adora clenched her teeth, refusing to let out a cry of pain, though her body screamed in protest. Adora swung her arm to break the icy grasp on her, yet they only grew stronger, crawling higher, constricting her movement.

Adora knew that, at this rate, Autumn's power-up was going to fade, and she was going to be [i]sooooo[/i] shit out of luck. Adora gritted her teeth, fighting the chill and sapping her muscles' strength. She tried to fly free, yet she was getting immobilized as all she felt was cold seeping to her core. [color=fd8a6c]”Ashy... Layla...[i] Luca[/i]...”[/color] Adora forced out the words, [color=fd8a6c]”Get out of here!”[/color]

Her vision blurred as the frost continued to creep, and the overwhelming stillness settled in. 

Yet again, Adora felt the sharp sting of helplessness.

The vines thankfully blocked the electricity meant for Britney!

This gave Britney a vital moment to catch her breath and assess the situation before she took action. The Greenwood girl had boosted Adora, and she flew off the moment this situation popped off. Most of the Artifact group decided to mob the mobster, so that didn't require much action on her part. Unfortunately, that left the monster and the Mobster Monster (which Adora was fighting now). The alarm had gone off and announced their entire position to the [i]entire[/i] island; they had [b][i]zero[/i][/b] time to lollygag. She had the Noble Vow in hand, so she had the perfect weapon to take out the Undead King - which had reigned to freeze most of the Artifact group (including Adora!).

However, they needed to free up Layla and Alizee.

Britney turned her head towards the monster, which unfortunately got its dick rotten off by Luca ([i][color=f4eb93]Damn it! I was going to save that for Linqian![/color][/i]). Britney ran over to the dick-monster while Alizee and Layla were holding it down and swung the Noble Vow at its neck. With one clean, precise swipe, its head hit the ground and rolled briefly before becoming stationary. Then Britney turned towards Sloane and Aislin... who were cowering. There was that urge for Britney to call Sloane out for her request for the Noble Vow only to stand around taking cover... but if they were going to get out of this in one piece, they all had to pull it together. They had the numbers advantage, yet [i]they weren't using it.[/i]

Britney lowered her free hand to the ground, but as she did so, she spoke.

[color=f4eb93]”Aislin, [i]Sloane,[/i]”[/color] Britney's hand was almost to the cold concrete of the ground. [color=f4eb93]”Now's not the time to stand around and gawk! Do something!”[/color] Britney followed that statement with a dismissive roll of her eyes as she thrust her hands downwards.

The moment Britney's hand hit the ground, she set forth on a wild gambit as the cold from the Undead King's twister hit her by proximity. Britney accessed a more potent and more chaotic variant of her Bloom spell, Verdant Bloom, to create a massive tree that was sharp at the tip. Less of a tree and more like an oversized stake that would impale the Undead King (hopefully) and give them a few moments to counterattack (if it didn't finish the damn thing off in one hit).

Drake couldn't help but crack a grin.

[i][color=3874f4]A Magma Titan [b]and[/b] a Dragon? These guys are corny![/color][/i] Drake mused as he crawled out of cover after Stormy and Aaron nuked the Magma Monster. The Magma Ghost took one hell of a hit, but the Dragon, on the other hand, was unaffected. Kenshiro took the initiative by trying to shove Doomsday at it; however, whoever the hell is controlling that damn thing opened a portal right in his path! There wasn't any time for Drake to help. However, he was not going to let this Dragon off the hook. Electricity pulsed around Drake as he began flying through the air to get just the [i]perfect[/i] angle... 

If they were going to win this, they had to take this stupid little lizard out of the picture. The electricity crackled around him as [color=3874f4][b][i]Ride the Lightning[/i][/b][/color] built up to a crescendo. [color=3874f4]”Get ready, you scaly bitch,”[/color] Drake cracked a smirk as he twisted mid-flight, charging a burst of Purple Lux into the core of his spell. The orb around him surged brighter, lightning bolts flaring outward in wild, jagged patterns. The energy wasn’t just raw power—precise, honed, and aimed squarely at the dragon’s exposed flank.

As Drake angled downward, the dragon seemed to sense him. A torrent of fire erupted from its maw directly at him, but Drake didn’t flinch. He drove straight into the flames, his electrified barrier sizzling and sparking as it clashed with the intense heat. The fire bent and twisted around him but couldn’t penetrate his orb of lightning. He kept charging, going faster and faster, as he screamed,

[color=3874f4][i][b][h1]"... RIDE THE LIGHTNING!"[/h1][/b][/i][/color]

Charging at the Dragon with enough power to launch it into the surrounding storm.
