[...She's going to effortlessly flip back up to her feet. If the thunderstorm actually harmed her? There's absolutely no signs of this left. The Azure Grimoire's healing factor is incredibly helpful, to say the least.

That's not to say she'll resume her assault again immediately, though - rather, she'll focus on staying at a distance from the two (and the two remaining monsters) for now, keeping an eye out for anyone else who might have been alerted by the thunderstorm.]

[That was what she was afraid of. That--

...there is no way she can win. None.

The best she can do is delay the inevitable. Or run. And she honestly wonders which is better. If she dies here, the fight is over just the same as if she runs, isn't it?]

[Maybe the best thing is just to lead them as far from Sayo as she possibly can before her luck runs out. Maybe they'll get bored and go back to fighting someone they can find-- which would possibly be Sayo. No. Not an option. (Maybe a pack of Elites and Shifters will fly overhead. Ho ho. Should she pray for that?)]

[...Fine.

Fuck you all. The dragon and the steed took out the last batch of mirages. Have some more, taking off in five separate directions, but none of them back toward the waver. Now, we just play for as much time as possible.

...and make one last ditch attempt to put one down, even if it's just for a minute. Her last weatherball is left floating right behind Nu, only this one doesn't need breaking. Give it about ten seconds. Nami leaves it behind and keeps going.]

[And finally the demon spots what he was looking for, a sign of where Nami really was.

And it leads right behind Nu.] Nu, move away from where you are now!

[It may not be enough, but better that she gets away from whatever Nami was planning.

The demon himself will head in the direction the blood leads him to. The dragon noticing its master acting will go in the same direction. The dragon is definitely closer, but it's large size does make it harder to move as quick as the demon can.

They will be attacking at the air, but hopefully between his swords and his dragon's teeth, something will meet flesh.]

[ν-13 doesn't even stop to think about what to do: the moment she hears that warning, she's going to dash away from where she was standing, eventually stopping and turning around, then calling up a barrier. Admittedly, it won't last very long, but if Nami's going to try something soon, that might at least lessen the damage a little.

...She hasn't actually noticed the weatherball, though, so she's not really sure what to expect.]

[The second Yuber yells she knows she's been made. It takes her a bit to remember why. She'd practically forgotten--

Arm is shredded--

Thank you, adrenalin. She snaps her teeth shut on the scream as she sees the dragon's jaw swing close and flings herself out of its reach.

Yuber's blade carves a line across her back and she falls, sliding in the charred corn and coming to a stop-- a highly visible stop-- a few feet away. It hurts. She's had worse. But it's pilingup--

--oh. There's her storm, right on cue. At least she's on the ground already. Have fun with that]

[and Yuber notices the storm appear out of the corner of his eye. Considering Nu was over there and he knows she doesn't do well with lightning the only option was to go over there and get her out of range.

So he leaves the dragon where it is. With Nami now being visible it should be able to finish her off with a bite or two. He'll teleport over to where Nu is and get her out of range of the storm as best as he can.]

[She should have seen that trick coming. She really, really should've. Unfortunately, that barrier of hers really doesn't last long enough to deal with a thunderstorm like that - while it does minimize the harm for the few few seconds, it runs out soon enough, actually leaving her more susceptible to the the thunderstorm. ~~Dammit, Danger condition.~~

Fortunately for ν-13, before that can cause her any significant harm this time, she... finds herself teleported away. What.

...

No, really. What just happened?]

[They're both out of range.

Time to go. Getting up. Staggering. Running.]

[Nami, you forgot something. There's still a very large dragon who would much appreciate making you its next meal. It will be using those very large teeth that it has to grab her and bite. To the dragon, Nami makes a very tasty snack indeed. Hope you didn't need those bones and internal organs or your wings or anything there Nami.

As far as the demon goes, since he successfully got Nu out of danger and Nami is being handled by the dragon, he'll be quickly using a Kindness Drops rune scroll to deal with what damage he got. Yeah, the lightning hurt him, but it's nothing compared to what it would have done to Nu if she remained there and he knows it. The scroll deals with those injuries fast enough.]

[She hadn't forgotten it. She just didn't have any choices left.

Which means the only thing she can do is try and use the climatact as a wedge, a barrier, a -- something, try and stop it, anything. And it's nowhere near enough. The end of the staff rams home in its mouth, but the teeth snap shut anyway-- she's just not strong enough to keep a gigantic bone jaw open. Maybe the best she can do is stop it from killing her outright.

Teeth crunch into bone and she's screaming. But she still rams the climatact in as far as it will go and sends as much electricity flaring into its mouth as she's got.]

[Well, thankfully for Nami, the Bone Dragon and magic do not mix very well and that lightning in its mouth hurts a lot.

It's mouth opens and Nami will fall out of it at that point and onto the ground. Probably not going to feel good to hit the ground like that, but better than being eaten.

The dragon will roar out in pain and then attempt to claw at Nami to finish off the job it started.

Yuber may not be close by, but he definitely heard that scream from Nami and found it quite enjoyable. He knows the girl won't last longer against his dragon and that makes him quite excited.]

[Meanwhile, ν-13 barely even notices the screaming. She's still trying to process what the hell just happened. All she really noticed was that her barrier stopped working, she got hit, and then...

...Yuber teleported her out, didn't he? Which means... he got hit by that thunderstorm as well. Even if he seems to be fine now - thank you, Kindness Drops rune scroll - he still got himself hurt.

... ]

[ ... ]

[...She's going to try to tug on his arm to get his attention.]

Don't do that! Geez... I would've been fine, you know!

[Yes, she's upset. As much as ν-13 appreciates his help - even if it wasn't necessary and she has no intention of actually admitting this right now - she's a lot more concerned with the fact he could've gotten seriously hurt. It's a possibility that didn't happen, yes, but the fact that possibility existed at all is more than enough to make her worry right now.]

[Yeah...you guys have your lover's quarrel. Nami's going to...

...drop. Gracelessly on the ground, the Climatact falling after her to slide across the dirt.

And then not move, despite last, fading thoughts that she really should.]

[It's alright, Nami, you don't have to move; Sanji's here to ensure the dragon gets the fuck out of the way instead. The sound of her screams spurs him on and by the time he's upon the site of battle, has already sprung in from the back, running right underneath the massive dragon. And when he kicks one of his legs up 180 degrees with all the strength he can muster, it leaves a massive shock wave from the impact.

Considering he's launched things twice its size into the air? Let's see if you can fly, bonehead.]

Anti-Manner Kick Course!

[Noel's right behind him, stopping short only momentarily when she sees the horrific sight before her. Nevermind the fact that there was a monster that shouldn't have even been here in the first place, but she could clearly see her friend in a bloody heap on the ground; she could hear her screams only moments ago, and now...]

Nami!? Nami! [Without thinking, Noel runs to her side. As she gets closer and can get a better view of just how bad that damage has been inflicted on her, Noel can already feel the tears beginning to well in her eyes. The anger that boils through her very being.

She stops right behind Sanji, looking down at her fallen friend.

Who did this.

The answer's already obvious: just nearby, she can see the two culprits.]

You...

[Without any warning, Bolverk is summoned. This is exactly what she wanted to prevent, yet here they were, having to deal with Yuber. And Nu.] You monsters!

[Nu, this wasn't the time. Yell all you want when they get back. Reinforcements for Nami have just arrived and therefore he's not going to respond to her for the time being.

Not that he's all that concerned about Noel. He's never found her to be a threat. Sanji is the only one that is an unknown at this time because he'd never seen the man attack before. And while the dragon does go flying in the air, it isn't done for quite yet, though it very ungracefully lands on its back. Give it a moment to get turned around.

Yuber himself will be teleporting over to where Sanji is and will deal with him. The azzodess in the air is readying a lightning spell to deal with the two since she doesn't see any Third Party coming this way amazingly enough considering the ruckus.]

[Under normal circumstances, ν-13 would probably complain about that lack of a response. Don't just ignore her, Yuber.

...Of course, given who just arrived, she isn't about to actually do that. Even she can tell that now really isn't the time for that sort of thing. So rather than that, she turns to face Noel while Yuber teleports away to deal with Sanji - expression completely deadpan for the time being.]

...Confirmed presence of additional targets. Switching to emergency defense mode.

[Current priority? Stall long enough for the two of them to have the opportunity to leave. She does not want to have to deal with anyone else for longer than necessary at the moment.

...

Monsters, huh...? Noel, I wouldn't suggest using terms like that around your lookalike again. Really. Don't.]

[The azzodess doesn't escape Sanji's notice as he does a quick head count of the fighters - Nu, Yuber, the dragon (if it manages to move), Noel-chan, himself, and the lady in the sky, readying some attack.

Four against two. First things first, then.]

Noel-chan. [Despite now being on the move - he can't afford not to be, with Yuber's timely appearance - Sanji's voice is low, but it carries] Take out the one in the sky, now. [He might not be able to hit her, but his chivalry can take a goddamn seat today. Shoot her down; even the numbers. If Nu's gonna sit herself in defense, take out what you can while trying to blast her head off.

It'll give Sanji something else to concentrate on, and he keeps an eye on Yuber to meet whatever attack he might throw at him]

[The one in the sky? Noel looks in the direction, and... there's the one Sanji was just talking about. With Bolverk, taking out someone from all the way up there isn't going to be much of a problem.

And Noel's angry enough to follow through with it right now. With her quick aim, she fires.]

Optic Barrel! [Not one, or two, but three blasts of Armagus in one shot detonate around the azzodess with the intent of bringing her down.]

[Yuber has a different priority. He wants to stall these two long enough to ensure Nami dies. He knows that the dragon didn't quite finish her off, but enough time will make sure she's dead.

Noel's shot won't be in time to prevent the around twelve bolts of lightning from coming at her and Sanji. Though the azzodess taking the time to finish the spell means that she didn't have the time to get out of the way of the first blast or the second one and barely is able to move in time to not be hit by the third. Of course she's a pretty tough little demon there and doesn't really appear to be hurt that much, yet.

The Bone Dragon is moving towards a more upright position. Sanji will definitely want to be careful of its tail sweeping broadly as it gets up.

As far as Yuber, he avoids the tail and has his swords ready to attack Sanji. Screw his orders, the man attacked one of his monsters, he's a target now.]
