[IC] Dragon's Awakening

[Riddles]

Part of the cave looked like it was about to collapse, but thankfully they got the support beam up before that happened. Now that that was done, Val seemed to want to rest for a while. Ralph didn't blame her. Her powers seemed to take up a lot of energy. He began to wonder if he would be able to do something like that. He was sure he would eventually be able to do more than just shoot fireballs. He just had to learn how to use his powers.
He perched up in a tree near the cave, and closed his eyes. Just as he was about to drift off to sleep, he heard voices. It was Tony and Connor. Based on what he heard, they were planning on working on the cave while everyone else slept.
"I could probably help, too." Ralph said, flying back down to the ground. "I wasn't able to help with the support beams, but I'm sure there's something I could do here."

[Absol]

Verlassën was thankful for the rest. She dipped her head in an instinctive nod of thanks. She trotted over to the edge of the cave, just able to stop her legs from giving out until she was able to get into a sitting position. Laying down, Verlassën put her head on her paws, her eyes looking around the gloom for a moment before she summoned a small flame at her nose, before curling up, the flame spreading the warmth over her. Her ears flicked back and forth as she closed her eyes, almost immediately falling asleep, but not before she heard a fox's bark somewhere in the distance, and another, answering it. Her foggy mind faintly registered them, but she reminded herself to check on it in the morning. Her ears fell flat against her head and letting out a puff of mist from her dormant ice powers, Verlassën fell into a deep sleep, the blue flame at her nose unwavering as she slept, keeping the fox warm even against the cool night air.

[Robert]

This was pretty bad. I thought that I might find some sort of antidote somewhere in the maze, but, unfortunately, all that door led to was a boss room. The ghost seemed to take some decent damage from Elena's dark bolts, to which, I added in my own electricity, damaging the ghost even further. I then got an idea on what we might be able to do, here. "Elena, you can use water, right? Well, try to make a sort of geyser erupt under the ghost, I'll take it from there," I instruct Elena, as I take my position, one which would allow me to basically fly into the geyser, which should be electrically conductive from the minerals in the immediate area, and then discharge all of my electrical power into said geyser. The resulting shock would probably be phenomenal, to say the least. Of course, since this guy looked a lot tougher than the spiders and small golems we fought earlier, he might still be alive after this. I just hoped that we'd be able to help Miles out after this fight, or heck, even during would be nice, as it was pretty stupid of me to get him into this mess. However, even if we headed back into town, we might not have the money needed to buy some sort of antidote or medical treatment, and then we'd just be worse off than we were before. To keep the ghost in his own position, I breathe some fire at him, and he counters with some sort of poisonous, green fog. I was unable to dodge it, and instantly felt weaker. So, this is what it's like to be in the poisoned status... ugh, I hate it already. I think as I try to work through the sickness, landing just to conserve some of my energy... I'd need it all for the attack.

[Tony]

Connor's own voice betrayed him. Sure, he said he wasn't tired, but I could tell. "Uh... no, never mind, you sound tired, and you should probably get some rest. Sorry for waking you up," I say to him in response. Ralph, on the other hand seemed ready to go, and even asked me what I needed. I responded with "Well, I was kinda hoping to get this place furnished, but Connor's asleep... uh, unless you think you'd be of any help, here," I then awaited Ralph's response, not really being tired enough to fall asleep. Sure, I understood why Val and Connor needed rest, but not all of us did. Heck, I felt absolutely energetic, ready to go, and ready to take on the world for some reason. Maybe I don't get tired as easily as I used to? Hm... this doesn't seem to be the case with Val, but, then again, it's not like she was able to conjure shadow hands while she was a human. I ponder, wondering why it was that I was still brimming with energy. I certainly didn't LOOK any stronger than my human self, and I'm certain that I was shorter like this as well. Heck, for all I knew, Connor was basically human-sized, and the rest of us were just about mouse-sized creatures after this whole plate ordeal. I can't believe that I started an event that, well, depending on how you look at it, either broke the world, or saved it from destruction. At this moment, I felt kinda guilty, just from seeing what a drastic turn society went through, and how people, or at least, things that used to be people, would kill each other at the slightest provocation. Laws had to be remade, that much was certain, but that still seemed like a distant goal to me.

[Evanist]

As Elena hears what Robert said, she nods, understanding what he was about to do. That might be actually quite effective. She started to concentrate, before going and putting her hand on the ground. Suddenly a huge crack could be heard from under the ghost as a ton of water was going and rising. Just then, a huge geyser appeared under the ghost dragon, smashing into it as well as adding the rocks that were propelled in the air from the attack. And it was a good timing cause just then the dragon was about to breath it's gas on her, which would have been probably bad for them if that were to happen. Robert already got hit by this, and it seemed to have weakened him. Some sort of poison she guessed, which would make him slightly slower probably from the pain. She had to work hard to not get any trouble. At least that what she thought until she smelled something bad.... Some of the gases that the dragon had spewed got to her before the geyser rised, making her feel slightly sick. She moved back, and then expels quickly the air. She then breath deeply. She felt slightly weaker, but not too much. That was too close for comfort.

Deravan had been walking in the forest for a bit now. Darkness was starting to fall slightly as time passed by. As he was walking, he was thinking about how society was going down now.... It was chaos like heck. Something had to be done... A new set of rules to make people not kill each other.... a set of rules to make everyone get along and stop this madness. He wished there was a way though, but there will always be people that would abuse of their powers.... using them against those that hurted them or such, as revenge or jealousy. Stupid human nature. Even if they were no longer human, that part seemed to have still fallowed. As he was walking, he looked slightly at his enviroment. He was seeing some strange creatures around. Some animals that seemed to have mutated, going and chasing things around. Lucky he was able to hide and use the trees and darkness to get away from most of them. The last thing he needed is for one of those beasts to make a lunch out of him... even if he probably could kill it. But he did not need to kill them at the moment, cause he was not hungry and did not need fur or anything. It seemed his stone magic would work wonders here at least. He then moves towards what seemed to be a open cave. He jumped in a tree and looked at it. It seemed that it had things inside... He was not sure though if they were friends or foes.... He knew that it would be risky to even try to talk to them, maybe having them try to kill him and loot him from the little he had. Better just observe for now.

[KaBling]

Urgh. No antidotes, no way of treating me for my affliction... why is my own roleplay cruel to me?

Well. Chances are, the boss might drop something that can help me. Instead of falling down and proclaiming how I can't go on, I set my sword on fire as I swung it towards the giant ghost. I was lucky not to burn myself, despite coating my sword in flammable slime as I threw it. Or even let go of my sword since I was pretty poisoned.

An episode of hallucination later, I realised my sword was never actually on fire. Although, Robert's lightning did set it on fire in the end, so it wasn't that bad. God damn it... when can I concentrate? It turned out I had also ripped the sword apart from myself, turning it into a dangerous flaming projectile. I didn't know whether that was a good or bad thing, but it was probably better than melting and losing bits of your tail. I rubbed my head as I began running, trying to pick up the now-extinguished sword which wasn't too far from the boss. I might have been suicidal, but I really did not expect to live any longer anyway.

[Riddles]

"I guess we should wait for the others to wake up, then." Ralph said. "It'll be a lot easier with all four of us."
He looked over at Connor and Val. They were fast asleep, as far as he could tell. It might take a while for them to wake up.
"We'll be waiting for a while, though. I'm not sure what we should-"
He thought he saw something moving out of the corner of his eye, but when he looked over he couldn't see anything. The wind was making the trees sway slightly. Maybe that was what he saw.
"Sorry, I thought I saw something." He said. "Must have just been my imagination."

[Noire]

Connor's knees nearly buckled. "Ugh. I really need a power nap right about now." Connor muttered, beginning to curl up on the stone floor. It was the first rest he had since the beginning of this whole "apocalypse" thing. He began to sleep like a rock. He could feel his stone joints cracking and groaning, and his hollow head hit the stone floor with a loud thud, rock against rock. Guess this is my life, now. He thought, his mind drifting into a haze.

Connor's sleeping mind began to recount all of the events that had happened since the apocalypse was announced. The first thing that he begun to do was stockpile food and water. Just in case he survived this whole thing. That was, until he learned it was a meteor that was going to cause it. A massive meteor, that would decimate the Earth like a man stomping on an ant. Not much a chance of surviving that. He went into some extreme depression. He almost quit right then and there.

After that came a lot of raiding. There was a lot of turmoil going around about the apocalypse. He began breaking into houses, smashing up some shops. After all, what would the repercussions be? A couple year in prison? They were all going to end up dead in a couple of days, anyway. It went on like that for a while, until the last night. The entire city seemed to be just waiting for the inevitable. Finally, the final hour had arrived. Connor was just waiting for his final moments.

And then the great flash of white filled the air, and Connor was knocked out. He came to in a couple of hours, as a giant rock beast. And he begun his journey there. He had a couple of things to take care of before he went home. The man still in the city, the business man who had raked him into all of this. He was going to have to take care of him. Then he could finally leave this accursed city and find his way back home. Connor looked like a massive boulder in his sleep. One might not even see him as a golem unless they looked very closely.

[Robert]

The geyser appears just as I hoped it would, and even seems to damage the ghost on its own. This was going almost too smoothly... all I had to do now was run into the geyser and then discharge my electricity as soon as I was inside of the blast. After taking a deep breath, I ran into there, making sure to keep my speed similar to Miles' sword, which was on fire and thrown at the ghost, despite my sickness, and after jumping into the water as soon as the flaming sword hit its target, I let loose an electrical charge that electrified the entire thing, giving off a very bright white light, and obviously shocking the ghost incredibly. It looked amazing from the inside, with individual bolts passing by as if I was in the middle of a thunderstorm, and perhaps I was, but I could only imagine what it looked like to an outside observer like Elena. That being said, I really wouldn't want to be anywhere near this place if I didn't have some way of nullifying electricity. I kept adding electricity to the geyser until the water ran out, which left me feeling more than a little drained, and leaving the ghost in a noticeably weaker state as well. "That was... astounding. The three of you have only just met and yet you were able to combine your attacks like that?" The ghost says to both Elena and I, sounding less hostile than earlier, for some reason. Maybe he's not evil? But... if he's not evil, then why is he keeping us from the shard? I think as I drop to my knees from exhaustion. I wasn't down yet, but that attack took a lot out of me... well, that and the poison, which was still slowly eating away at me. The ghost then laughs, and flies off of the platform, only to create copies of each of us... there was one for Miles, one for me, and one for Elena, who I only had to assume had the same powers and weaknesses that we possessed. This can't be good.

[KaBling]

You know what? I was beginning to regret even participating in the roleplay. If only the universe drew some other idea from my head... like making me a god, or at least curing my cancer. Not bloody fighting as a bipedal dragon slime.

"No, no, and damn no!" I pretty much broke down as soon as I picked up my sword. "This is ridiculous, purely ridiculous!" In my rage, I lashed out at my clone counterpart as soon as he materialised. "Get on your Goddamn knees!" You know, I was probably trying to survive rather than actually having a breakdown. Or more likely, getting more and more deranged as the poison did its work. Thankfully, that was to change as I slapped my clawed hand onto the slime in front of me, pretty surprised as to what was just happening; I wasn't on my side of the playing field.

As if I was one of those temple priests reciting an unknown language, I was staring down the slime as I was basically transferring all my poison into him. Before he could react by trying to swipe my hand away as he began trembling, I sliced his deformed head off with a flaming sword. I smiled as I could finally think straight instead of having thoughts branching off. "Phew. That went well." I casually claimed, pretty much a new person altogether - I had turned to everyone in almost a cool way, letting my counterpart turn onto a puddle while he filled some of the marks on the ground. "What? Some of us are nearly dead anyway. You people obviously aren't." I shook my hand to get rid of the remaining poison, just as I could piece my mind together.

Miles - The Soft Way Then, this thought after clearing out my head: Man, that was intense. Hopefully there aren't more of those hedges along the way.

[Evanist]

Elena stares at her clone, and breath deeply, as it rushes towards her with water in her hand. Elena, in a quick movement, lets out a blast of darkness in front of her, and moves to the side, letting the blast hit her clone hard as she moves away, only to get hit by one of the water blast attacks from the side. She moved to the side quickly, before getting blasted to the side again and being pushed back hard. She started to breath deeply before letting out a blast of water with slight ice particles in it, slashing at her clone hard, making it move towards the back. Ice... she had used ice partially there... she needed to master it, that she knew... but it was rather hard for her to use it. She moved back as she looked at her enemy, seeing it gets itself together after the attacks it had gotten. How would she go and beat it if it had the same skills as her. One word came to her... creative attacks... she had to get some sort of combination attack unless.... unless the group actually goes and attack in team against one of the clones to get rid of it... that could work.

[Lugia]

[Robert]

Well, there was good news and bad news. The good news was Miles seems to have somehow simultaneously defeated his own clone and cured himself of poison, however, the bad news was the fact that I had to take on a clone of myself in the condition that the team attack left me in. For some reason, Celes wasn't nearly as tired as I was, but I guess I could chalk that up to myself being poisoned, rather than actually exerting myself more than she did. I could barely move, and breathing was even getting a little difficult for me while my clone edged closer with a sinister looking smile on his face, as if he was going to finish me off right here and now... and there wasn't much I could do about it. Heck, I could almost hear the announcer from Mortal Kombat shouting 'Finish him!' in my head as my clone laughed. Ugh... there's nothing I can do right now... he's got the same strengths as I do. Maybe... just maybe... he's also got the same weaknesses! I think as I struggle to get up. I then manage to shout "Miles! I need to borrow your sword for a while!" I was no swordsman, but this seemed like the only way to possibly beat the clone, given that Elena was busy with her own clone and Miles... well, he might be able to use his swords, but I wasn't too sure about his own resistances... I mean, I was certain that I couldn't be hurt by fire or lightning, but I wasn't so sure that Miles was as resistant as I was in that regard.

[Tony]

I notice some indescribable shape from the corner of my eye just before I hear Ralph say "Sorry, I thought I saw something," Maybe that's something we could do before Connor and Val wake up. I think as I say "You're not the only one who saw that, Ralph. Maybe we could check out what that was... I mean, it would give us something to do before the others wake up," I then look around the area, trying to find anything that could have made that shadow, or that movement. I unfortunately find nothing of the sort, and decide to head out of the cave to look around some more. It was odd seeing some trees that weren't dead or covered in dust at this point, but it did give a sort of more 'alive' feel to the area around the cave. I then call out "Hello, Anyone out here?" In an attempt to get whatever was out here to either attack, or reveal itself. If the thing was going to attack and Ralph and I couldn't fend it off, we could always try to wake up Connor... besides, it would be better to fight the thing out here than inside our own home base. For all we know, the thing could have been planning to destroy the cave after sneaking in there without our notice... it might not even be that hard to do, as all they'd have to do would be to trigger a cave-in... then we'd be back to square one, probably with reduced morale, and even less people to help us out.

[Evanist]

Elena looked at Robert who had difficulty, before seeing her clone rush to her... this gave her a idea a bit. She knew full well that Robert could use lightning.... and lightning and water kinda goes with large effects.... what if she were to use one of the clones attack against her own clone? As in queue, her clone rushed towards her, forming a jet of water as she was moving towards her. She quickly moved and uses a lot of magic to make the attack move towards Robert's clone instead at the last second, making her clone yip in surprise by the sudden change in direction as it was moving straight towards Robert's clone. Elena just hoped that Robert's clone would use some kind of lightning attack... That would probably shock her own clone and end up making Robert's clone get damaged as well as possibly maybe beating her own clone with this. At least that what she hoped it would happen. She was starting to get tired from using so much energy in so little time by changing the attacks direction. She had to take a couple of seconds to regain her composure.

---

As Deravan was waiting to see if those guys were hostile or not, he sees 2 of them going towards where he was.
Crap.... they might just go and attack me.... what to do... what to do.... he thinks before summoning some dark bolts in his hands. Just then though.... one of them asked if anyone was there.... They did not seem to have seen him and know where he was.... He could go and strike right here and now... but they did not seem hostile.... He looked towards the cave, seeing how it was getting builded. A small settlement... maybe... maybe they could help him... at least he hoped so.... He stops his dark bolts in his hands and makes them disappear... if they end up going to attack... he would have to cast a dark smoke like spell and get away from there.... like he did with that dragon from last time.... He moved from tree to tree before going on the ground, and moving to the group slowly.
"I come in peace.... please don't attack...." he says unsure. He was ready to make a run for it if things would get bad. And they were 2 people at the moment.... And he was getting a bit tired.... he just hoped they would let him be if they were to chase him, knowing he might lose quite some energy if he were to use his spells too much.

[Riddles]

Apparently, whatever Ralph saw, Tony had seen as well. They both went outside, trying to see what it was. Ralph couldn't see anything, but he knew that something was out here. He kept his guard up, ready to attack if something jumped out at them. Tony was calling out to whoever was out there. Hopefully they'd reveal themselves.
A large panther-like creature jumped down from one of the trees. Ralph had a fireball ready, but quickly extinguished it when the panther told them he was friendly.
"Thank god. For a moment, I thought we were about to get into another fight." Ralph said. "We're setting up a shelter in that cave back there. You can join us, if you like."
This guy seemed like he could be trusted. If he wanted to do something, he'd have done it already.
"I'm Ralph, by the way, and this is Tony. We've got a couple more people up in the cave."

[Absol]

Dark furred ears twitch as voices drift into the fox's dream.
"... In peace.... please don't attack...."
"... For a moment, I thought we were about to get into..."
"... Got a couple more people..."
Her ears perked a bit more, her tail shifting from over her eyes as the blue flame on her nose flickered out. Opening one violet eye, Verlassën looked around, her eye adjusting quickly as she saw Ralph and Tony at the entrance to the cave, with a panther-looking feline standing by them. Her interest piped, Verlassën uncurled, closing her eye as she yawned and stretched, before opening both eyes and blinking a few times to clear her vision. Summoning up a small blue flame, she trotted over, her ears perked slightly. "Oh, wer ist das?" She said, before remembering that these people weren't from Germany. She cleared her throat and looked up at them. "Eh, sorry. I forgot you probably don't understand German. I'm Verlassën. Who're you?" She asked, tilting her head slightly.

[Evanist]

As Deravan looked at the group, who seemed friendly and introduced themselves, he let out a sighed of relief.... They were not like those guys back in the town.... everything was going to hell there... so he was happy that at least some people kept their sanity. He looked at the dragon/phoenix thing, the phoenix and the wolf. He smiles slightly at them. Maybe.... maybe if he stays with them, then he might have a chance to survive. His friends were gone right now to who knows where, chased away by the chaos.
"Name is Deravan Letendre... I am sorry if I was looking at you guys.... I was not sure if you were hostile or not.... With everything that happen in the town I was not even sure anymore who kept their mind or not. . I... I just don't know what to do anymore. My old group was split up...so I don't even know where they are." he says, a bit sad. Yes he was giving quite some info there.... but if he was to maybe stay with this group, he had to make a compelling argument. What if though they were just acting to be nice... Well... they did not know of his powers, so he probably could run away in a second if things were to get ugly. But maybe.... maybe he would not have to do that... though they probably won't trust him too much unless he helps them.... A cave.... it seemed that it could cave in.... maybe stone supports would help...

[Noire]

While sleeping, Connor stayed mostly quiet. He didn't snore, and he didn't rock back and forth. His massive stone body only emit the occasional incomprehensible mutter or some unintelligible sentence. Unfortunately, his tranquil sleep only lasted for a short while. He doubt he could've even called that a sleep. In fact, he doubt he could've even called it a nap. It was more of lying down for a couple of minutes with his eyes closed. He woke up almost immediately after his sleep.

Connor half awoke, and what one thought a massive boulder slowly unfurled into a more stout, human life figure. The barrel-chested rock slowly lumbered up, slightly off balance. His feet made massive rumbles through the cave, threatening it to cave in, but for the most part, it held sturdy. He laid a thick, granite hand on the cave wall, trying to keep himself steady. "E-Ellie..?" He croaked, his mind still in a deep state of sleep. He quickly caught himself. "Oh."

Hearing voices outside, he recognized most of them. The people he had allied himself with. But there was one voice that he had no familiarized himself with yet. Intruder, maybe? He stumbled outside, still trying to shake himself out of that nap. His body yearned for a longer nap, and his body seemed to get heavier with each step. However, he held through. Maybe fighting an intruder could get some adrenaline pumping through him.

Seeing the intruder, he almost snorted. What was that? Nothing that he couldn't take on with any hardship. "What is that thing? Is he trying to threaten us? I could stomp him." He proclaimed, staring down at the creature before him. He rolled his shoulders back, hearing the stone joints groaning and grinding against each other. "Is he going to be a problem here?" Connor doubted he could get much excitement and adrenaline pumping through him with a such a small, measly little thing.

[KaBling]

As quickly as I assumed my previous position of facing everyone, I was busy extinguishing my sword as it was coated in flammable slime. Eventually, it would spread to me if I didn't get rid of the flames.

If things couldn't get worse, well... I had to toss my sword to Robert, who was unarmed and desperately needed something to keep him awake. Just as I flicked my sword of flames and let it burn on the floor, I realised how I couldn't throw a sword in a safe way.

I mean, if I launched the thing in the air, it would spin and probably impale Robert in the worst-case scenario. Seeing as we didn't really have much of a choice (and the remaining clones were getting the better of us), I just threw the sword. At a low elevation, so it would slide along the floor. It would probably give it a few scratches, but it was better to get Robert's foot rather than his head. "Here! Watch where it goes!"

[Lugia]

[Robert]

The water that Elena shot at my clone thankfully got him to stagger, but since he was just going to use a physical attack, it didn't do anything other than distract him for just long enough for Miles' sword to slide over to me. "Th-thanks," I say as I shakily pick the weapon up. It should have been obvious to everyone that I was completely untrained and even afraid of the weapon... but for some reason, I had my clone fooled. His eyes widened as soon as he saw me pick up the sword, and that look in his eye was enough to make me feel a little more confident. He backed away, and I said "Just like I thought. You have the same weaknesses as I do. Good thing I still have the rest of my team, huh?" I said this in a tone of voice that implied that I was taunting my clone, which I was, and to great effect... even if he couldn't speak for whatever reason. I then ran as much as I could with the sickness towards my clone, and stabbed at him, aiming for the middle of his skull. Unfortunately, the sword wasn't quite strong enough to kill him right then and there, and he even managed to get a claw attack in, slashing my left arm, which would have been okay if I wasn't currently holding a two-handed sword... or, alternatively, wasn't so clumsy with swords that I needed to hold the thing with two hands. I still managed to hit the clone with my sword, this time with a slicing motion instead of a stabbing motion, and through sheer luck, slice his neck through all of the confusion and pain. He falls over, unable to breathe, and I fall over, the sickness starting to really effect me. Wait... was that a victory, defeat, or a draw? I guess we still have Miles and Elena, so, it doesn't really matter. I think before I start to black out.

[Tony]

"Well, I trust you. My name's Tony," I start before I point over to Val. I then add "We all just call her Val... and the big golem who could have easily stomped on you, but won't is Connor," I then point over to Connor, though it was pretty easy to tell who he was just from my description. I was going to say something else, however, I get cut off by a feminine voice saying "Well, aren't YOU an interesting little ragtag group?" A figure then appears behind Deravan, and as soon as I get a good enough look at her, I notice that she was some sort of wolflike creature. Most of her fur was an odd dark blue, while her underbelly, as well as the tips of her ears and tail were a white color. She stood at about my height, and seemed to have some sort of water vapor surrounding her. She was wearing a stereotypical lab coat, and appeared to have a pen and notebook... something about her just didn't seem trustworthy, and that was confirmed when she said "You're never going to pull this off... the rebuilding of society, you know. As long as we remain animals, that's what we'll act like, and nothing some stupid little team of five can possibly say or do will change that. Face it, we have to eliminate magic, and we have to revive humanity... and I have a feeling that you're going to oppose me for this little speech," she was right, however, it wasn't so much WHAT she said, and more or less the condescending way she said it that angered me. She laughed for a moment just from looking at my obviously mad-looking face, and added "It doesn't seem like all of you were smart enough to understand... let me say it this way, you're wasting your time," that only really served to make me angrier, and she added "Oh? You want to fight, don't you? Hm... I suppose I have five minutes, but please, die quickly so I can get back to my research," she then, without warning, formed water near her hand, and shot it like a beam... right at me. I wasn't able to dodge, and that attack sent me back a few feet. I get up within a minute, and counter by trying and failing to impale her on a spike... she looked small, but somehow, it didn't seem as though she was quite as weak as she looked.

[Evanist]

As Elema saw Roberts clone getting beaten down, she breath deeply after seeing her clone regaining her senses right there. Elena frowned at this, knowing this was not good at all. She got back up, and then concentrated her spells. How would she beat her... she might have gotten her weak by the impact of the attack but.... She then had a idea... She suddenly started to form water and rushed to where Robert was, while sending water jets at her clone that quickly countered them one by one. Elena frowned as she was seeing the result, and she then grabs the sword Robert had. she continues her water assault, her clone swatting them like flies. Not now. Not now.... Her clone moved closer and attempted her own attack. This was her chance. She suddenly lets out another water attack, which the clone tried to block.... not seeing the sword in the water jet that pierced threw. the sword suddenly lunged itself inside her clones chest, her eyes widen as it falls on the ground, having hit the heart, killing it. Elena breath deeply, and got up, weak from this.

---

As Deravan hears the weird wolf creature speaking, he frowns as he then does a backflip on the tree and then sends a dark bolt right at the back of the wolf.
"People say that but I am almost certain that you would only try to do that to enslave human kind using your new powers. You would also make countless suffer in your quest. I will not let you do that!" he says as the wolf then sends a water beam at him. He gets hit, but then rises a stone shield in front of him. He then sends the stone right into the wolf's face. This might end up being a bit complicated. She seemed to already know her powers when they started getting use to them not long ago probably. This will take a bit of time and technique to be able to pull this off. He did not know what his new team mates could do power wise, so before he tries to think of a way, he better gets a bit of information for this. Just then he received a large quantity of water at his chest, sending him flying on a tree. He then formes another stone shield and burst his dark power around, sending them at both direction as well as running to the right and sending pointy rocks at the enemy.

Verlassën let out a growl as the wolf attacked Tony. She took good care to keep away from the water, and then she dashed to the left side, but just as she was about to attack, she jumped to the right and attacked from that side, her paws darting out to lash at the creature's sides. She landed and ended up getting a face full of water, that blinded her for a moment, only to get hit in the side. A loud yelp escaped from Verlassën as she was knocked off her feet and sent sprawling into a tree. Yet another yelp followed as she fell, struggling to her paws. She glared at the lady, a growl escaping her.

A familiar bark accompanied her growl, and a blue-ish grey blur and a red-ish orange blue shot out, skidding to a halt next to Verlassën. They glared at the lady, seemingly fairly plain, natural foxes. "Teal! Russet!" Verlassën barked happily, dodging a water whip and summoning her own whip of shadows that quickly whipped their opponent, once, twice - three times before they retracted and she shot three ice shards at the lady. Sending one bark towards the two foxes by her side, they nodded to her and dashed either side of the attacker. Verlassën stood tall, even though it was obvious she was in pain from that attack. "You are outnumbered, ja? Better to give in." She said, her accent becoming more prominent now that she was getting angrier.
