[IC] Dragon's Awakening

[Evanist]

When Celina saw that the ghost was finally beaten, she let out a sigh of relief… before seeing the ghost going straight at her! She did not expect it at the moment and she suddenly was losing possession of her body! She tried to fight it, trying to figure out anything. The ghost then feels the body. “Strange… and what type of magic… uhm. Art… let’s see…” the ghost then says before then starting to draw some small dragons, trying to be quick and making a lot of them to then send them straight towards the group right now to try to damage them as best as he could, having them go and bite them and trying to bite hard to do a lot of damage. Celina just saw this and was very worried right now about all this. She wished she could go and take back control of her body right now… wishing that she could do something to help the group.

Mia

Just as Mia had finished patching up her wounds, the ghost finally left Trevor's body. For a moment, it seemed like the fight was over. Trevor was pretty banged up, but at least he was still conscious. Mia rushed to his side. "Trevor, you're hurt. Come here, I'll-" Before Mia even had a chance to use her own healing magic, electricity began to arc throughout Trevor's body. Oddly enough, this appeared to heal him.

Before she could say another word, the ghost picked a new target - Celina. This fight was far from over, it seemed. The first thing she did was summon miniature dragons, several of which headed straight for Mia. Despite her attempts to avoid them, they quickly closed in on her. She let out a yelp of pain as the began to claw and bite at her. She tried to bind them and pull them away with vines, to no avail. With no other options, she called out to her teammates. "Guys, I need some help!"

[Shadow Dragon]

Jason rushes to Mai, banishing his swords, and starts trying to get the tiny dragons away from them, lashing out with his fire. He tosses the tiny drakes aside, hurling them away, and screeches in pain as they bite and claw his wings. "Nahhh! Get off of me!" His body flares, and he takes to the air, spinning as he tries to dislodge the tiny drawings. "How many times are we going to go though this?" He incinerates the few drawings still clinging to him, and winces from pain, bleeding from dozens of little cuts. He tosses the drakes off of Mai, only to be swarmed again. He screeches in anger and pain, and raises his hand, a ball of fire growing in his palm, getting bigger by the second. He backs away from Mai so she won't be hurt by the blaze, and the fireball explodes, engulfing his body in flames. They...don't hurt, much to his surprise.

[Lugia]

Trevor barely had enough time to get his bearings before the ghost decided to lash out with an art attack, hitting everyone with tiny, clawing, biting dragons. Trevor tried his best to evade them, and while he was quick enough to dodge a few, the rest seemed to get to him, dealing some damage before he started attacking back with his fire breath... with them gone, Trevor turned his focus on Mia, the team's main healer, who seemed to be in danger, and he focused for a moment, and used his 'Energize' spell on her, hopefully healing her body, and refilling some of her magical reserves. "Whew... good thing I got that heal rune, huh?" Trevor pointed out to the group as he noticed that Shaula was being quiet, and was probably busy gathering her things again. Trevor then tried to make his way towards Mia to try to take some of the attacks for her, as he knew quite well that without her, things were NOT going to go well. Sure, Trevor could heal, but he could only heal one person at a time, and even then, he can't heal as much health as she can. "Hey... thanks for trying to protect her, too, Jason... sorry for starting this whole... ordeal," Trevor then said apologetically. He didn't realize just how much pain this ghost would cause, and he thought it might just be over after one possession... no, it was, in fact, very far from over, unfortunately, as the ghost still had to possess Shaula, Mia, and Jason, though, something told Trevor that Jason was going to do everything he could to try to stop the ghost from getting any sort of control, though, whether or not that could actually work remained to be seen.

[Evanist]

Celina saw what was happening… seeing that everyone was having difficulty with the small dragon swarm... She hated it... She could not help the group right now… seeing just the damage that was happening. It was then that the ghost saw that the entire group was focus on healing more than anything. He then gave a smile before seeing what Jason was doing. Celina knew where that was going… Suddenly the ghost started to form the fireball and engulf her own body in fire and then jumping quickly straight towards Mia at full speed... well... it would have been full speed… but Celina herself tried her best to take a bit of control back, having her body ending up going slower as if her body was being stretch and taking some air, hoping that this would end up giving enough time for Mia to escape that attack. The ghost was a bit annoyed that Celina slowed the body down a bit there. She knew she would need to try and keep going with this… to try to make her own attacks weaker here in any way possible.

[Riddles]

Mia

---

The miniature dragons surrounding Mia were quickly taken care of. Trevor then healed her with the new spell of his, though she could tell it wasn't quite as potent as her own. Still it did help her recover. Right when she was about to use her own healing on her two injured teammates, Celina began charging at her, engulfed in flame. Mia managed to dodge, but the attack wasn't quite as fast as Mia expected it to be. Was Celina resisting somehow?

[Shadow Dragon]

Jason screeches, and his wings burn a brilliant red, and his eyes turn white. He jumps off a nearby building, and flies forward to attack the monster in Celina's body. He slams into her, throwing his whole body weight into her, tackling her to the ground, his body blazing white hot. He screeches. "Sorry about this Celina!" He grabs her around the waist, and flips her, slamming her into the ground again. He does his best to not severely hurt her, just trying to knock the strange golden ghost out of her.

[Gavin]

Shaula

---

Shaula shook her head. Everything was blurry and wavy, like looking through a river. Something had hit her. Something heavy. Jason? No, not Jason. It was probably his fault, though. He swung something - Trevor! Jason had swung Trevor around straight into her, knocking her to the ground and slamming her head into the rocks. And yet, she felt fine. She could've sworn, it was like her head splashed into a million pieces and then reformed, just like that. Was that possible? Lord, today anything was possible. But that had really happened. Today, she was invincible.

Everyone else was fighting Celina, and Trevor was helping. The ghost had left Trevor. It wasn't lying - this really was just a test. Hell of a test, though, but still. Shaula left her backpack and ran to the group. The emitters hadn't worked on this ghost, so what else did she have? She could shoot water, she could throw things - Lord knows she could throw a good punch. For knocking someone out, that was probably her best bet.

After Jason attacked, Shaula ran towards Celina. It's easy. Just imagine this isn't your neighbor, and you're good. Just a big, green, slimy dragon. Nothing weird about that. Shaula stopped in front of Celina and swung her fist, aiming straight for Celina's jaw.

[Lugia]

With everything that was going on, Trevor had to weigh his options, everyone seemed to be dog-piling on the ghost, right now, so using his lightning attacks weren't really an option, as those could easily hurt his teammates, right now, and his teammates were unfortunately very weak to lightning. Jason jumped off of a stalagmite to attack while Shaula just ran up and tried to punch her right in the gut. Trevor figured that would be his best bet, too as he ran up to her just as Mia dodged her attack... only to take the attack, himself, not that it actually did anything. Odd that the fire seemed to have no effect on Trevor, but he didn't question it, right now, as he had a slime to punch... that being said, it seemed like a bad idea to punch something that was literally gelatinous... I mean, at least in D&D, slimes were always resistant to this sort of thing, usually even destroying whatever weapon was used on them... but, since everyone else was basically on top of Celina at this point, he had no other options. Let's just hope for Trevor's sake that Celina won't just 'eat' his own fists... he kind of needs those for later.

[Evanist]

As the ghost saw that Mia dodged the attack, it was annoyed by the resistance that was being given in this body. It could not really attack that well if that resistance kept going. Celina on the other hand, didn’t give up and tried her best to slow down that ghost, trying her best to make sure that the group would not end up hurt… It was then that she saw literally everyone going to dog pile her body… Why the heck use physical attacks when they know she is a slime… That is until Jason and his heat got to her as she was slammed onto the ground. The slam didn’t really hurt… the heat did. The ghost gave a scream at the heat before using the slime and pushing hard Jason back… Then came Shaula’s fist that hit the jaw when the ghost got up. That… didn’t do much.. At all. Celina’s face just had that fist form at her head… before suddenly kicking Shaula back and then using Celina’s magic to make 2 knifes 1 at each hand. While that happen, it felt Trevors punch... Before turning around and with agile movement start trying to slash at Trevor’s arms with the new knives.

[Riddles]

Mia

---

Mia stood back and strategized for a moment while everyone charged. They were all going for physical attacks. She wasn't sure why. Celina's body was gelatinous, and would easily absorb any physical force. Jason's attack was the one that seemed to have the biggest effect on her. Perhaps it was the fire. Mia observed that, despite being immune to her own flames, Celina was vulnerable to heat. While she couldn't take advantage of this weakness herself, Trevor and Jason could. Her highest priority should be to keep those two standing. As she saw Celina take out the knives and lunge at Trevor, she quickly dashed over to him, her vines at the ready to heal the inevitable stab wounds.

[Shadow Dragon]

Jason spreads his wings, the feathers bursting into a rainbow of colorful flames, and fires a jet of flames into Celina, trying to make the ghost leave her body. His wings tremble from the effort of making such a huge blaze. He leaps forward, and grabs her, wrapping his blazing wings around her to trap her in a cocoon of fire, sweeping her legs out from under her. Or at least he tries to, her slime body just making his flaming leg burn away some of her slime, much like a second degree burn. Or third degree, he's not really paying attention. He grabs her arms with his blazing hands, and uppercuts her in the jaw with a red hot talon.

[Lugia]

Trevor's punch didn't seem to be too effective, and worse, Celina seemed to counter by driving knives in his left arm... strangely, she didn't let go of the knives, and that gave him a bit of an idea as Jason closed in. The knives were metallic, and it's been confirmed that Celina was weak to electricity, so, all Trevor had to do was use his own lightning magic on the knives that were stuck in him. The aftermath of that seemed to keep one of the two knives stuck in his arm and scratching his bone while Celina most likely jumped backwards from the pain and pulled out the other knife. Trevor tried to take out the remaining knife, but it was stuck in there pretty badly, and even once it was out, it would probably have a negative effect on him. "Agh... son of a..." Trevor mumbled as he backed away from Celina and kept trying to pull out the knife, each try only managing to hurt him, his muscles, and his bone even more. Worse still was the fact that he seemed to be using quite a bit of his magic, already, and both he and Jason were probably going to have to rely on physical attacks soon enough... not only that, but the reason that it was hard to pull out was the fact that his own lightning magic closed his wound as it hit him for some reason. Sure, normally that would be helpful, but uh, not when there's still a chef's knife stuck in your arm.

[Evanist]

When she saw what Trevor did, the ghost yelled out in pain, trying to move to get away, feeling the electricity that was happening there. Celina saw what happen with Trevor… and how the knife was stuck on his arm. She seriously had enough of this. Enough of the pain this ghost was causing by using her body. She tried her best to make the ghost have issues keeping control of her body. It was then that Jason hit, using his blazing hands and upper cutting her very hard. She felt a lot of her slime just evaporates from her as she then falls onto the floor. She used a lot of her will to make sure to retake control of her body.. Well.. part of her body. It was then that the ghost left her body, feeling that he could not do much with her anymore. Celina tried to get up, but was extremely wobbly right now as she cough hard, shaking. At least that god dang thing was out of her body now, but who would be the next one to have their body taken. That is what worried her right now. She just hoped that somehow she could help in the next fight possibly.

[Shadow Dragon]

Jason pants in exhaustion, the blaze taking a lot of energy out of him, when the ghost slams into him, taking his body from him. "Interesting. Such burning hatred. Let's use that fire, shall we?" His eyes flare, and his whole body bursts into flames. He then watches as the ghost attacks his group, flaming weapons etching themselves into the air, hurtling towards the group. Several daggers, axes, and throwing stars soar through the air, slamming into the group. He does his best to try and pull the flames back into his body, but to no avail. Then the ghost looks at Shaula, and feels a wave of hate sear through his mind and body. His flames turn white, and a large flaming whip spools out of his hand. He cracks it at the group, the weapon releasing an explosion of flame that engulfs everything in front of him, mostly around Shaula. The ghost starts in surprise as he stops fighting for control, and attacks her in furious rage.

[Riddles]

Mia

---

Mia couldn't help but notice Trevor struggling to pull out the knife in his arm. "Trevor, don't pull that out right now, or you'll make it worse. Come here." She then summoned vines, which wrapped around Trevor's arm and anchored the knife in one spot to stop it from moving around and causing even more damage. "There. That should help it stay in one spot. We'll pull it out once this fight's over with."

It seemed like this fight was far from over, though. The ghost had finally left Celina's body, claiming Jason as its next host. "Celina! Are you alright?" Mia dashed to Celina's side, and summoned vines to patch up her wounds. Jason, in his possessed state, summoned a whip of fire to attack them. Though it was mostly aimed at Shaula, anyone nearby was also in danger of getting hit, including Mia and Celina. "Get down!" Mia shouted, ducking out of the way and pulling Celina along with her.

[Lugia]

"Th-thanks Mia," Trevor managed to say as she started to heal him up, after that, a barrage of weapons seemed to appear, with each of them being on fire, and all of them flying towards a party member. Trevor took the weapon that was supposed to attack him, just fine, and before Mia's could hit her, he got in the way, taking that attack, too. It... still hurt. It wasn't so much the 'fire' part that hurt, but the 'weapon' part, and that's when Trevor noticed that Jason was focused on Shaula... who may or may not be able to take the attacks. Hmm... if he's that distracted... maybe I could use that against him. I'll have to have Shaula healed up, later, but this should work out, well. Trevor thought as he rushed over towards Jason, eventually flying up into the air, just to slam down with his fist, trying to undercut him, as best as he can... he then tried to follow that up with a quick left hook, but... that's when he realized that the knife left his left arm weaker than his right arm, so, it wasn't going to do as much damage as it really should have, unfortunately. "Guys, he's distracted... um... try to beat him down while Shaula takes the attacks... we'll, uh, heal her, later," Trevor explained to his group, hoping that the ghost wouldn't take that into consideration, and hoping that the ghost was too distracted by Shaula to care.

[Evanist]

Celina saw the attack coming towards the group, but was unable to move much right now cause of the damage she took. It was then that Mia pulled her downwards and helped her dodge and healed her. She looked towards Jason that was taken control by that ghost. She frowned as she tried to see anything she could do, but feeling a bit of pain still after what happened. She looked at Jason. “We need….to possibly have him freeze or washed up and stop that heat... or attack with anything from a distance.” She managed to say before giving off going and using her art magic and making small wing snakes form in the air and send them to Jason, going to make them bite onto him and coil around his arms and legs, aiming not to kill but to damage and try to weaken him a bit for the group. Celina knew she had to be careful on her next move, considering that if she ends up targeted by fire, it could be bad for her.

[Riddles]

Mia

---

Mia couldn't help much against Jason. With his body cloaked in flames, any of her nature-based attacks would just burn up before they even hit him. She didn't have a bow for her light arrows, either. Like always, she would need to serve as support. "With all of that fire surrounding him, I can't do much. I'm leaving this to you two." She stayed near Celina. Given her apparent weakness to fire, she'd probably need healing more than Trevor would. She kept an eye on Shaula as well. With Jason's relentless assault, there was currently no way to get to her safely. For now, Shaula would have to wait. Hopefully she could withstand Jason's attacks until then.

[Shadow Dragon]

He shakes his head, his head hurting form the blow to the skull, but he back wings, and avoids the uppercut. He then flies up higher, and holds out his hands, letting the snakes coil around his body before burning them away, his body bleeding form several bites. He then flies higher spinning in mid air, making a tornado of flames. The blaze is so strong and so hot, it begins melting everything around him, the pavement turning back into tar. He begins drawing weapons and monsters out of the fire, and they rush forward to attack the group. He stares at Shaula, and chuckles, shooting a laser of fire into her backpack, liquefying her 'emitters'.
