Re: The Final Prize [IC]

Soft scales do not make for a stable stance, and Living Lightning fell to one side with barely enough time to mutter "Not again," before being swarmed. Launched across the arena by the melee of changelings, he left in his wake a floating static copy of himself, grinning and give the thumbs up. Two exceptionally bright sparks where it's eyes should have been seemed to focus on the Queen.

Continuing his airborne pilgrimage to the far end of the arena, Living Lightning flicked his wrist, launching a electrical whip back towards the closest approximation the changelings had to a captain. He was aiming for his neck, but instead wrapped the whip around his foreleg. That was in-flight aiming for you. He uses the tether to curve himself back towards the ground, landing in an odd skid that was much less painful than it looked and leaving another static copy right at the point of impact.

“The final prize... already? Are they serious?” Storm Blade said, honestly surprised by the news that they were close to winning... but the pegasus wasn’t entirely sure he wanted to know what the Final Prize even was... though he could guess as to what it was... still, Storm Blade focused on what was right in front of them. Their next and final opponent... a group of changelings, lead by a changeling queen... though the queen herself didn’t fight. “This should be interesting...”

As the first changeling struck against their resident Dragon, the pegasus swiftly gathered up lighting together, launching at him at a quick jolt. Then Storm Blade charged, his blade also crackling with lightning as he focused down at the first changeling, pinging him as the main threat... and giving him a solid blow on the side, with a burst of lighting as the guard took position behind the changeling group.

Supernova blinked as they were suddenly into the last round. Still doesn't mean we need to change tactics. The cane was locked and ready. She simply flicked it up and bombarded the Queen with fire and lazers

Evil Eye tensed himself. One final battle, then? He thought. Perhaps after that I can rest...

He nodded as the Queen showed respect towards himself and Storm Blade. But it wasn't going to make him hold back. Thus, he charged forward, but his strike only glanced the queen - but at the same time, he lost little of his momentum, rebounding off the queen's side and preparing for a second strike.

The first changeling collapsed, the armored guards leaped in front of the blows aimed at the queen, and Queen Apidae pointed a hoof at Storm Blade. Her guard launched into assault and she nodded towards one of the two in front of her. The armored elite flew in front of the changeling that launched a volley at Storm Blade and kept position as a second blast of magic was launched. "My, how unexciting. Number 861,020? Brush my hair, my dear minion." Queen Apidae calmly sat where she was as the guard brushed her hair and the armored elite stood guard.

Grease's shock tether (now coiled around the limp foreleg of an unmoving changeling) slides onto the ground. Grease shakes his head and whips it towards his static double, where, in defiance of all common sense, it latches on and retracts, launching him through the draconic cloud of electricity and driving him shoulder-first into one of the changeling that struck Storm Blade. On his way by, he seems to wave at another changeling in the firing squad, and a Shock Tether latches between them, conveniently (if inexplicably) knotting around the neck of a second changeling as it extended towards Grease.

Supernova bit her lip in thought. Clearly, she wouldn't be able to hit the Queen as long as the Queen still had minions to take hits for her. This meant she had to change up her strategy. Not what she would prefer, considering her own preferences, but it would take too long to give Gramps control.

More like you want to keep all the fun for yourself.

Supernova supressed a grin. That too.She admitted. How about we start picking some minions off?she asked, focusing her flaming can on one of the Changelings.

Storm Blade grunted as the changeling focused their attacks on him. The rain of blows coming in too thick and fast for the pegasus guard to be able to retaliate, focusing sorely on blocking... however, it did let him mark his next target, the changeling that had hit him twice over... and the one that had brushed the changeling queen’s hair funnily enough. That was rather vain of her.

In fact, that’s probably what caused the surge of electricity as Storm Blade swung his weapon at ‘Minion 861,020’ the pegasus surprised by the sheer amount of lighting unleashed in the blow, and as he flew back to join the group, honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he had accidently knocked the changeling out in one blow... not that he would mind if he did. Through, just in case, he charged his blade with ice to weaken the enemy with the next attack.

"You used how many minions? Glad they aren't all here at once."
Acoustic then used then rhythm he had built up to heal Storm Blade and Greased Lightning of their injuries, with a little bit more in Storm Blade's case.

As the fourth changeling collapsed, one of the armored guards blocked the blows aimed at the second changeling. Queen Apidae smiled at Acoustic "These two guards are minions of the princesses, ever dutiful in their job. Sometimes it's best to spread your resources. Other times it's best to...focus." With that, Queen Apidae pointed a hoof at Acoustic and the changelings unleashed a barrage of magical blasts. She waved a hoof at the third changeling then patted her side while nodding at one of the guards. Taking the message, it hit a pressure point that seemed to relieve the second guard. The guard then shifted to stand in front of the third changeling.

Grease takes an odd bracing stance, drawing himself between the end of his shock tether and the changelings attached to it, and abruptly retracts the tether, dragging the unconscious changeling into the still-present one and knocking both bodies into his outstretched claws. He chuckles to himself, muttering "Thunder Sandwich indeed." before launching both changelings through a burst of magic and into the changeling that fired it. His hands free once more, he claps the palms together, and after a flash of lightning and a boom of thunder he's standing a few feet to the left of where he was previously, looking very satisfied with himself, two shock tethers in hand, with another thumbs-up static clone nearby. Acoustic found a great deal of static melting into his coat, and the Changeling Queen felt a tingling itch on her rump. There were also scuffed claw-prints in the sand everywhere.

Another guard down... honestly if this was the final battle, Storm Blade was feeling bitterly disappointed. He expected the final battle to be a challenge, a fight that would test him to the limit... but currently it was just a war of attrition that they were obviously winning... the pegasus striking at the same guard he had hit last time... even if he wondered what the queen would do when all her minions fell..

Acoustic is knocked over by the blasts but bounces back up seemingly better than before and all the cockier for it.

Supernova bit her lip. Yes, they were doing well, but when it came down to it, they were just fighting minions. The queen hadn't even bothered to fight back. Who knows what would happen if she did. In the mean time, there was no reason not to keep fighting. Supernova charged her cane once more, and smacked one of the minions over the head.

What in the princess' name...? Evil Eye stumbled, having just emerged from a blackout or fugue of sorts. He muttered curses under his breath, angry at himself for losing focus. Perhaps some earlier injuries were wearing on him... still, no choice but to continue. With a flap of his wings he launched himself into the air, and another flap sent him flying towards the second guard and kicking off hard.

The second changeling collapsed while one of the armored guards blocked the blows aimed at the third changeling. Queen Apidae seemed oddly relaxed during all this. "My my, it seems the princess trains her minions better than I thought." Once again, the changelings focused their assault on Acoustic but now the injured guard joined in.

"I've got a message for you." Living Lightning says fiercely. "But it can wait until these clowns won't interrupt." He pokes a claw into the sand, and a seared black line etches itself in a jagged connection between him and two of the changelings.

Fury of the Tempest Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:59 am

"We aren't minions. We chose to be guards and to serve the princess. That's why we're stronger than your guards. We do this because we desire to, they do it because they have to." Storm Blade said firmly, even as he launched an attack. Perhaps a little cliche and soapboxy, but the Pegasus felt like it was appropriate for this conversation and combat...

Acoustic makes a face at Apidae as he heals the wounds caused by her minions.
"I'm not a minion! I just like making things explode through music."
Go ahead, keep hitting me, atleast that means the others can hit you back harder.

Supernova grinned at her allies's response, but felt that they said everything that needed to be said. She contented herself with firing up the cane, and frying one of the guards with a lazer.
