[b]“Get a move on it, Harper. Or do you want me to freeze you in ‘time’?”[/b]

He'd recognize that taunting voice anywhere. Harper scrambled forward, barely avoiding an icicle shard. "Very funny, Haku." He found himself sliding across a small patch of ice. "We all know that's irrelevant now--aah!" He tripped on a frozen tree root and hit the ground face first. Tiny slimes began to surround him, and some started hopping on his back. Thankfully, they didn't have sharp claws and ended up tickling him instead. "H-Help," more and more slimes began piling up on him. Harper pushed himself free and launched himself forward, pipe still in hand. 

The boy spun around and slashed, slicing a leaping slime in half. The liquid in his amulet depleted with each slash and soon he was down to half. Harper panted for air as he ran. "Guys, why are there so many of them? For each one we destroy, two appear!" He let out a yelp as another slime leaped and sailed past his head.

[b]“Don't know about you but I'd really like it if these things would just stop showing up.”[/b]

Harper turned to see one of the new people. Inadi, right? The boy gave him a nervous nod. "T-That'd be great. There's too many of them at the moment." A small slime clung to his shoe and he gave it a kick. It crashed against a nearby tree and went splat.

"Well, if we want them gone we're gonna have to beat 'em." Riley gave both boys a grin before nodding her head in Inadi's direction. "If we get out of this, we'll definitely have something interesting to write." She stomped down on a lone slime, her grin growing broader by the second. "I wouldn't mind having a writing partner. Well, that's if we survive this." She laughed a little then bounded off towards Leon and Vince. 

Each time she stepped on Ice it would melt. It was handy, but the liquid in her amulet decreased each time she did it.

By the time she was close enough to Vincent and Leon she was huffing and puffing, both hands on her knees. The idiot still managed a grin though. Riley took a few moments to recover before she cupped both hands around her mouth. "Hey! Are you two alright up there?"

The battle raged on and mama slime let out a helpless roar. Those humans were killing her children. They would pay!

The giant blob barreled towards the ice pillar at an alarming speed and before Leon and Vince knew it they were falling. Riley scrambled back and watched as the slime inched towards the dazed boys. "Guys! Requesting back up!" She yelled before summoning more flames to life. However, the simple action made her feel queasy and the flames died before she could make use of them. The girl stared at her amulet and let out a nasty curse. One fourth left, she wouldn't be using magic any time soon.

[b]“Humans, listen- Oh hey Zephy,”[/b]

Harper spun around at the sound of someone's voice. The boy stared in awe as one of the Nobodies sliced through a slime with relative ease, then let out a relieved sigh. They were going to be saved! The redheaded nobody started giving orders and Harper straightened up. Alright, they had to listen, they could do this.

"You heard them!" He yelled desperately. "Force won't work."

Riley backed away from one of the slimes and laughed. "Totally, so let's get this done, huh?" She gave Ace a ridiculously big grin then looked to Haku. 

"Wait!" Harper was the epitome of serious. "We're low on magic, so remember, we need to rely on each other."

The girl just laughed. Moments ago Harper had been an absolute klutz, but now he was staring at everyone with furrowed eyebrows and genuine concern. "Force won't work aye? Melee fighters think you can keep the baby slimes busy for a bit?"

Harper looked at Leila...they were the only melee fighters. "Leila, let's keep the slimes away from them." He gave her a nervous smile, "team?"

Riley shook her head. "They'll need some help. Ace, Haku, you heard the lady let's hammer it with some fire and ice." She looked to the lightning mage then at Leon. "Our magic isn't enough though, we'll need all the help we can get." With that said that girl began waving her hands above her head like crazy. "Hey Mrs. Blob, come and get me!" She then gave one of the smaller slimes a kick.

The giant blob growled then launched a charge straight at her.

Meanwhile, Harper was calling the attention of most of the smaller slimes and soon enough he and Leila were surrounded.
