A Hero Tale {Complete}

For a moment it seemed like the massive maw got Oz as it started clamping down around him. A blast of vibrant energy exploded out the top, leaving a large hole that held itself open with veil long enough for Oz to shoot out. He zoomed back into the open and met gazes with the witch. She was out for a vengeance. It was likely she was focused on killing Oz first and foremost while keeping him from using any nasty tricks. There was no time for him to counter.

Oz grunted in relent to Dacer's direction. It would be good to surround her and then use a piercing skill after she had immobilized herself with protection. He summoned a disc of energy in front of himself and hopped atop it. A double take of getting smothered to death by ooze was not attractive.

Higher in the air was safest as it provided plenty of space to dodge. Oz leaned into the wind as he zoomed up and around to flank Ada from range.

"Jeff to me! Dacer's right, we can't waste any more time on her." Oz put some pressure against his shattered arm to ward off some pain as he moved toward Jeff. "Jenso, stand by me as well. The Buster will keep her at bay. Let's combine an attack and take her out now. My veil is effective against void energy. I'll explain everything later."

Oz looked between the three of them, devising how to proceed. Finally he pointed to Jeff's arm. "We'll use your cannon as a base. I'll give the word. Put what you can muster into it." He looked to Jenso with a smile and a spark in his eye. "Jenso, are you ready for the Firestorm Cannon?"

Oz whipped through the air, narrowly avoiding Dacer's reckless attack. He caught himself against the ground. The white-blue energy roiled off his arm like mist while he rose back up against the stifling gravity. Advancing like he was going to punch Dacer in the gut, he instead faked out and went to plant his hand firmly against Dacer's forehead.

Oz started approaching the wrestling pair at a slow pace, hampered by his own gravitational field. As he marched he began channeling energy into his arm. "Hold him down so I can punch the evil out of him."

Oz stood sideways and projected a thick wedge shield in front of himself that split the slash in half as it flew the rest of the way past him.

With an affirmative nod to Jenso he pressed his palm downward like he was pushing down on an object. The area of their fight instantly became more uncomfortable as the gees were turned up. It would increase more as time went by until Oz stopped.

Oz looked wide eyed at the results of Dacer's black arrow. One with Gaia? Hell no! He was bringing out attacks that ruined nature at wholesale. What an abhorrent abuse of power. Oz brought himself back up to full height. The arrows could be deflected or dodged. One real hit however meant mummification.

Oz drew his arm forward with a half-sided stance. These two had been losing a battle against Dacer's speed and power. Maybe his presence can change that. "Focus on precision! Whittle him down and impair his movement. I've got you covered." Oz was on overwatch.

Oz managed his way to to the barrier. It was some pinkish kind of energy. Unusual for the kind of fighter Dacer seemed to be. He must really have a broad array of skills. This barrier needed to be pierced.

With a shielded hand Oz poked at it. Dacer's barrier reacted with a flash of energy, batting his hand back with sparks. Oz took a deep breath. "I make walls and I break them." He chanted. Dacer was distracted by Jeff so this was a good chance to go in. He pulled back his arm and formed his hand to a spear-point. Lacing his hand in veil, he plunged it into the barrier. It fought at his advances but he just pressed harder. A ring of veil started to form, spreading out from his insertion point, forcing the hole in the barrier wider and giving him a space to work with.

It was a bad idea to go in there with the constant lightning. Even from the edge he could feel the static. Poor Jenso was stuck in it. Oz caused the direction of gravity to change and Jenso started to slide toward the opening until he was within reach. Oz grabbed him by the foot and pulled him all the way free before crouching down with him and erecting a barrier around them.

The Golden Hero was worse for wear so Oz helped him out by fishing for the pill pouch and pulling one out for him to use. He propped the hero's arm up and placed a pill in his hand. "You're not done yet. Get up! Let's face him together."

"What I meant to say was.. Aah never mind it doesn't even matter." Oz tried to correct himself. He stood up with some effort, trying to shake off the disorientation. His eyes finally caught Jenso in his trapped state of paralysis. That was no good. That should be fixed. Oz put up his shield around himself and started stumbling toward the downed Jenso.

Disoriented and gagged by nasty purple crap, Oz rolled through the air in Dacer's general direction. He skidded across the ground and kept tumbling comically past the stare down group. Finally he slid to a halt leaving a viscous trail of slime in his wake.

Oz rolled onto his stomach, lifted himself up and vomited horrible purple goo all over the ground. After he'd finished dry heaving for an uncomfortably long moment he turned to look at the two fighters still standing about a short distance away and likely staring at him. It was difficult to tell, there was a pinkish blob over one eye and blood crusted on the other. "What? You guys look like.. Uh.. what do you look like..?" He trailed off and brought one knee up so he could use his good hand to clear his eyes. He got a good look at Jeff and Dacer. "Who's the furry..?" He paused mid-sentence as the truth dawned on him. "Oh. Uh, that's right it's Dacer.."
