Dianna saw Rasputin's head pop out of the side of the car, making her have this urge to blast his head off from there. She got distracted from something, another less painful but obvious pounding at her head, making her look up at the tunnel. Dianna squinted her eyes, seeing shadows overcoming the entire tunnel, knocking out lamps and blocking the entrance. She slowed down until she completely stopped in mid air, a few yards away from the shadowy web. She angrily growled at the car that managed to get through, then without hesitation, opened her dragon mouth and charged a weak but large enough blast of energy at the she could make a hole in the web, and go through it.
Seconds later, the blast went through the shadowy web, leaving the right sized hole for Dianna. She quickly flew through, inches from getting scratched by the physical formed shadows, then sped up her flying until she caught up again with the sedan. Dianna didn't want to waste anymore time so she extended her claws and dropped onto the car's roof, shoving the sharp points through, only a few centimeters from the people's heads inside. She used her strength to start peeling the roof off the car. It was extremely slow, with her not having complete grip on it, but it was worth it.

Rasputin briefly thought he had escaped the angry dragon. That hope was immediately when the web of shadows was blasted apart by a blast of energy. Dianna was upon them soon enough, and now she was starting to pull the car apart. "Igorovitch... take the bottle, I will be dealing with this pest myself." The wizard threw the crystal vial on his assistant's lap before opening the car's left door. Before he even began his jump out of the car, the shadows already twisted to catch him, In a split second, he dove inside the black mass of shadow. And a gaggle of spikes sprang out at Dianna.

Dianna watched as Rasputin jumped out of the car and into a ball of shadows, still sensing the source of fiery cosmo magic inside the car, but had to take flight when the shadow spikes were shot at her. They managed to hit the tip of her tail, but with both of them having the magical powers of darkness and Dianna's dragon scales, the spikes only stuck onto her tail without causing any major harm. It did stop her for a few moments, but she simply clawed the spikes away then continued flying near the car, hoping her senses aren't fooling her.

Rasputin was quite surprised to receive no direct retaliation from Dianna. She would quite regret letting him run rampant. He broke the fall from ejecting out of the car with a fast-moving platfrom of shadow sliding over the tunnel floor. Like this, he started moving besides the car. It seemed his adversary was focusing exclusively on catching up with his minions and getting the bottle back. This inattentiveness would be the end of her. First, he threw a glob of shadow to her head, it would likely only remain for a moment before being destroyed by another energy blast, but it would also give him an opening to follow up with a more potent attack. A giant mass of shadow would rise around Dianna, semi-vicsous until it engulfed her, at which point it would become hard as stone and compress back into the ground. It was quite a favorte of rasputin to deal with troublesome individuals like Dianna, though it gave quite a mess to clean up afterwards.

Dianna did something a bit unexpected. Instead of blasting the glob, she decided to simply throw it off, since it was a lot like those slimes she occasionally finds at the edge of the fire dragon lake. Now Dianna's vision was blurred, almost completely gone, but with her senses ,including her extra ones, should help. Seconds later, a giant mass of shadow grabbed her entire tail, pulling her down from the air. This was when she blasted the fiery line of energy at the shadows near her tail, making it release her. There were now black marks around her tail from both the shadows and the fire, but it didn't stop her. Dianna was also using a lot of energy, so she flew a little slower, a few inches behind the car, but didn't stop.

Rasputin was quite surprised by the fact Dianna was still flying. He was pretty sure her tail getting caught and crushed like that would at the very least impede her ability to fly straight. Nevertheless, his onslaught seemed effective enough. However, in the distance, he now saw light. It wouldn't be long until they reached the end of the tunnel, and with it, the end of his advantageous position. He himself was getting tired too.He had to stop this dragon dead in her tracks here and now.

He gathered all his remaining strength. The darkness twisted and contored, and a set of wicked knives flew at diana. Evidently, they weren't aimed well, as they sailed right past her and planted themselves up to the hilt in the stone tunnel walls. Quality was not the goal here though. That was quantity. More daggers formed in the darkness and hurled themselves at the dragons. Way too many to reasonably dodge. WIth his strength finally failing him, Rasputin used the last few shreds of shadow remaining to propel himself back into his car. He could only hope the storm of daggers would be enough to finally get that dragon off his back.
