Welcome to Gaia! ::

"No, no. Leave them be, Exceed. They can handle themselves. Have some faith. Come with me though..."

Ivory digits would pull, ushering him to follow her in a low, stooped walk to the other side of the tree. They would continue on, to where they could flank the Leshy but remain hidden under the coverage of roots and vines.

"Listen...turn around and close your eyes. Don't look until I say so."

The Nephilim waited until he did as instructed, and only then, did she hook both arms under his and gripped each shoulder. In a single breath, majestic wings unfurled, flapping and twitching silently in their reach before they lifted up off the ground. Alex used the enormous tree as a shield, no one would see the wings. At least not yet. Once they reached an apex, Alex eased him down onto a large branch and swiftly sheathed her wings, turning them into a flash of nothingness. The captain removed her stronghold, stepping back and dusting herself off.

"Okay...this is what we are gonna do. Since Doc wants one of the Leshy, we need to force them to get closer. We are going to create a trap. Got it?"
She hoped so. Pulling down a thick branch, gave them both a view of the other two from far below. "And don't fall."

"You are going to tend to the center, I will force them from their hiding spots. As soon as they are out in view...you need to push at least one towards Doc."
By all logic, it was simple.

Meanwhile, below, the Leshy were still yelling and screaming at Caleb. Regardless of his helm being removed, he was still this large shiny thing that resembled a chainsaw...the ones that chopped down ancient forests for some human's greedy needs. He was not welcomed, it was obvious by their lack of friendliness. Still, they rained down all matter of debris, jumping from branch to branch, shaking them to awaken the forest spirits. Doc may have to try something else, for his words were lost in translation and fear.

Even as Doc tried to cover Caleb, they still yelled, chanting some hoobaloo at the two. However, one in particular, peaked its head out, blinking a set of beady black eyes at the professor of Science. Quickly it hid though.

"Swell...now stay hidden up here. Remember, as soon as you see them come out, push them towards the other two. Not too hard though." Without breaking eye contact, he nodded and all was according. Now Alex smiled sheepishly, taking a step back and turning she darted off the end of the branch in a leap. There was nothing between her and ground, just a free fall that she would land from in feather-like fashion. Boots touching down as if the angel only hopped a skip.

Much of the underbrush served as camouflage, until she could come to the opposite side the small clearing.

Milky fingers mystically played a silent symphony, each key stroke calling forth her element. Swirling, vicious torrents licking at the end of each tendril before she pushed two separate funnels forward, angled at the treeline that the Leshy hid within. Leaves, sticks, random bits and bobs came out, flying off the end of her tornadoes. Still, in observation she remained at it, concentrating and yet, a visage of tranquility without any fear or anxiety furrowing cherub features. Eventually three would come tumbling out, head over heal they somersaulted in the whirling cyclones.

This is where Exceed would hopefully have readied himself. Alex whipped the funnel around and reversed the flow, sending the Leshy into the air at a few feet above the ground. They were as dead center as it was going to get. Now all that need was the final push.
