She wondered how she managed such a tactic but left it alone when she heard Inadi. [I]“I figured you'd want this back. It doesn't go well with the medieval armor you have on, but I'm not much of a fashion guy so I don't think it matters.” [/I] Ace caught her hat in her left hand and shook it off.  Placing it on her head, she playfully stuck her tongue out at him. "It doesn't have to match. It's a valued possession. And thanks!" The redhead stayed by his side for a bit longer in order to slice up some more vines in their way. It was all a waste of energy to her, and the redundancy was getting less than amusing. [I]Not the fact that they were getting attacked, but the fact that they were doing nothing but slicing vines is what made this less amusing. [/I] "We are getting no where with this! And why won't this plant just burn?" She said to no one in particular as she cut through vines, vines, and more vines. [I]“Ace, go and get Leila off the ground and keep that thing away from her for a few minutes if you can. I gotta go and get Harper so we can all focus and get that damn thing into the pond soon.” [/I] Ace perked up with a grin. "Aye, aye!" She responded and gave a salute. "Off to help the quiet girly, off to hold the mushroom off her~." She said in a sing song voice as she hurried to Leila's aid. [I]"Don't worry, I've got her!" [/I] She almost forgot that messenger was with them. Zephy grabbed Leila and put her in a safer spot. "Thanks! Now to keep the mushroom away from her." Zephy told them before that she wasn't going to be able to help too much, so the job of protecter was still needed. "Don't worry Leila, just rest up! I'll make sure you're safe!" And she did as she promised, to the best of her abilities at least. She stood in front of Leila's path, burning down all the vines that dared to come toward them. Then, she paused. Her name was called, and there was a moment of opportunity to listen. "Burn it down? Hehe, I am fully capable of doing that!" Before she ran off to burn everything made of plant matter, she looked back at Leila. "Don't worry, just call if you need help!" With that, she went to help Harper. She looked down at her amulet, noticing it was down to a third of what was inside. She expected it to be much less than that... It didn't matter then because Harper needed her help. And she was bound to over use it anyway.  This time, instead of swinging her sword around, she held it over each vine, and waited just as the mushroom staggered back from the male's blow, Ace pressed the sword against the mushroom's back, effectively creating a fire, and cutting off its arm all at once. Thankfully, Harper said it before she had stopped fighting. By then, Ace was forced to stop. All of her pryo attacks caused her amulet to go to dangerously low levels. When Harper was caught, instead of her flames, Ace stepped on the vine and used the heel of her shoe to rip it. "Plants are still plants. Easy to rip." She put the hilt of her sword up as the flame disappeared and was rendered defensive. The vines were frantically attacking, and there was no way she could dodge them all. One caught her by her legs and she tripped, falling on her butt, until it lifted her and tossed her off like a rag doll. She laid on the ground for a moment, regaining her composure. Experience or not, being hit or bruised still hurt and being tossed on solid ground definitely knocked the wind out of her. It was a smack to reality and it made her remember she wasn't invincible.
