Mamertine

Super Sailor Adria

Total: 3+3+3+5=14

Adria just drew Meridiana tighter; jostled and thrown about, he just wanted to hold onto her. Somehow--by some miracle--they wound up on solid ground. Only, there was some sort of giant fire beast crawling to life in the distance. Adria could feel the heat on his flesh, in his lungs. "You don't have to apologize," he rasped. "We've got this."

They didn't. He didn't know why he said it. He wasn't strong enough to make a difference here, not in the long run. But he wasn't going to just give up. What he lacked in strength, he had to make up for in durability and willpower.

He was good at surviving, he needed to give himself a little more credit for that. All of these encounters and he hadn't died--yet.

Still, some flaming beast, some--some volcanic dragon--wasn't exactly good for his nerves. But he'd had one encounter with a dragon already. This was...different...but they weren't alone. He didn't let go of Meridiana, and when he realized he might be trembling he just held her tighter to cover it up. He'd kept his eyes on the great chasm--the fire trying to erupt from within. He saw as the ground shook, as pieces rolled in. He saw the way the impact caused the fire to snuff out.

"...We just...have to put out what we can. Don't--don't let go," he said; he held her hand tightly and wasn't sure if he even cared if anyone saw him. There were more important things to worry about than what color they were wearing. He took her with him to a large rock. It was heavy, maybe not too much for him, but too much to easily move alone. "...Help me push this. Look, the spots where things are falling in...the fire looks like it's going out. Maybe if we can...help put it out...maybe it'll do something."

...At least, maybe it wouldn't burn on the way down.

Shanyume

Meri -> Adria
4+9+2+4 = 19

Amidst the chaos and confusion, Meridiana’s body trembled as Adria held her close, his arms circled around her protectively and for the briefest of moments she closed her eyes and tried to imagine the first time she saw him.

The two of them standing in a vacant area across from the theater. The air had been cold and sky was shrouded in billowy clouds threatening to dump water on the both of them. The only sounds then were quiet murmurs of patrons leaving the opera as they walked to their vehicles. It was a moment so far removed from this realm of shadows and fire that in it she found a small semblance of peace.

Adria took her hand then and guided her to a large rock. Don’t let go he said and his grip told her enough that he would do the same. He then said something that drew her attention to where other senshi, knights, and even agents were pushing the large stones into the growing crevasses. “O-...okay…” Her voice shook and she spoke hesitantly.

Even with all the training Zinkenite had given her, Meridiana still lacked any sort of confidence that she had the strength to manage such a feat as punching something so big over. But she wasn’t alone and he was a super senshi which meant that he was also stronger than she was… so maybe together they could do it.

The rising heat made it hard to breathe and when she leaned her bare arm against the stone it felt like she was burning her skin. But she pushed against it as he did and was rewarded when the gravel beneath it shifted and it plummeted to the bottom of the chasm. A plume of ash rose up and Meridiana pulled him back away from the edge before it could swallow them both up.

Her lungs burned and she started coughing for several moments from the inability to draw in a breath of fresh clean air. “Did- did it work?” she asked, not really feeling inclined to look over the edge least one of them fall back in again.

Captain Amazonite: 8 + 5 + 9 = 22

Transcended Eternal Ida

The shadowy people seemed to fade… not in their dark forms, which she could still see, but in their substance. They stopped knocking Ida about and instead passed through her like ghosts, leaving a chill behind that the heat of the flames couldn’t touch. Everything was chaos… the world had gone mad, or she’d stepped into someone’s version of hell. The threat felt real, but there was nothing to fight, nothing to face, her heart beating rapidly in her chest…

But she could hear someone calling, shouting for help. She barely caught it over the din of everything else, the voice small and young, but not very far. Ida strained to see past the shadowy figures, moving forward with arms outstretched to keep her from tripping over any of the debris. Was that a flash of something cream? The shifting lighting made it hard to tell, but… yes! There!

A cat?

“I’m coming!” Ida called as she jumped forward, clearing the space between them. She firmly ignored the shadows, refusing to let them distract her. That was a mauvian over there, one of the alien cats that senshi so depending upon. Not one she knew, but someone precious all the same. “I’ve got you!”

It was easy to scoop up the much smaller creature when she landed by the edge of the rift, falling to a knee to reach for the cat clinging to the broken ground. Ida tucked the soft, warm little body against her chest as she shoved one of the large rocks beside her, rolling it over and off the edge. It fell and exploded into dust, surprisingly smothering the fire that threatened them.

“Are you okay?” Ida asked into the temporary peace as she glanced downwards, loosening her grip on the poor kitten she’d rescued.

Ammersee

Ammersee wasn't feeling very lucky when the heat stunned him. He could feel it as easily as if it were right before him. He felt like there were blisters on his skin, fire in his lungs--and then, it was gone. He was tired, dizzy. He wanted to tear off his clothes to cool off.

Now wasn't the time to strip, though. He needed to be productive. He needed to get out of here.

He wavered and accidentally kicked a rock over the edge. It wasn't big, but it was something--and the plume of ash that erupted hinted that maybe he was on the right track.

Captain Wolframite


It has been smog and heat and the searing sizzle of his own body and then, just in a moment, he felt water drench his body. Cool a d refreshing it seemed into the shredded fabric of his uniform and skin, dripping down his soaked hair and face. The flames went out and his dizzying vision stopped spinning and finally settled back into place.

Breathing deep, he looked up to Laven and to Tina beside him who was touching his back confused. He'd been displaced and forgot that as he had been in fire, they must have been at risk too. He had done nothing to protect them from the threat of fire and ask. Maybe they had gotten out of it themselves as they didn't seem burned. Just knowing that was a relief.

But it was more their concerned, creased expressions that showed worry for him and he looked at his dripping uniforms and arms and saw bonfire or charged fabric. "It - felt so real."

But it wasn't. It had been a cruel lie and he had failed terribly in overcoming it. Reaching out for both of their shoulder's, he heaved himself to his feet again. His senses came back and while his stomach was still tight and heart racing with all the fire nearby, he could see the culprit to his aging stop a stage, billowing out brimstone and he'll before them. If they didn't stop the creature, they really would all burn.

He didn't want such miserable, sheer agony as the way for these two to go. To even feel a little of that would be a nightmare.

"I'm sorry. Are you two okay?" His body was shaking from the adreniline in his system from hid panic and what little if his features that weren't covered by the wet hair sticking to his brow were pale. "Thank you - for getting me awake." His golden eyes looked to the pair of them. "We need to get -" His lips dry and mind still reeling. "We need to stop that thing, right?"







10 + 7 + 4 + 8 + 5 = 34

Lieutenant Rakovanite
Rolls: 10 + 2 + 3 + 8

He didn't have time to worry over Fettelite's pitiful moods when said moods were a huge waste of effort with zero practicality. It bothered Rakovanite immensely that it took almost nothing to make the other boy crumple into a useless heap. They were in danger. Not just Fettelite, but Rakovanite too. He should want to protect them. But his answer was to sink to the floor, cry, and expect Rakovanite to do everything.

And while it was true that if given the option otherwise, the Lieutenant wouldn't simply stand and accept death, he also had less experience in this regard than Fettelite. He was a lower rank, with less ability and strength, and he didn't know as much as Fettelite should.

It was frustrating. It was so frustrating.

And Rakovanite didn't have the ability to remedy it, could not even spend more than the moment he'd already given to snap at the other boy. Instead, he had to work with the other figures in this odd realm. They were near enough that he could see them starting to stifle the flames with the debris. They all had to work against the debilitating heat, they all had to face this monstrous creature, they all had to look the unknown in the eye.

Rakovanite started shuffling grit and debris into the chasm, smothering the flames, though causing plumes of scalding ash to erupt in its wake.
