Sherry hadn't had more than a moment or two to take in the park. She hadn't even really had time to decide what her first impression of it was before she heard Stormy's voice and a familiar hiss.

Armagnac was delighted to be summoned while in contrast, Sherry was wary as she moved in close. She returned Ofelia's nod, and then gave one to Stormy, even as her vision began to distort.

Just like before. Sherry coughed, and did her best to set her bearings straight. "Careful, ladies. Do what you can to bring it down, but be careful."

She swung at something dark.

Careful. Right.

She tried to fight her rising fear, hands shaking as she brought Thane into a readied position. Everything was okay, she had a big sword now, not a dagger, and she had partners who were more experienced unlike Lucky and Alpha, poor dears, and this was not the misty unknown island, they could do this, they could do this- ! She might have the luck of a hapless damsel in distress, but God help her she didn't want to be weak again.

Smiling corpses joined the shadowy ranks, and with a high-pitched cry Stormy sliced through a handful of them, trying to cut her way towards the older Hunters. She couldn't put on a brave front, but she could at least try to be useful.

"Not ta sound like Ah'm steppin' on yer toes, Cherry, but Ah think it would be best if maybe someone acted as defense? Goin' all out is good an' all but we got us a trainee here an' Ah dun wanna see her get hurt." Even though Ofelia was saying all that she still attacked, striking at the enemy as best she could. It wasn't super amazing but they were slowly and surely whittling down the enemy.

That also meant their shields were going down, Ofelia had done this three times already, and she backed up next to Sherry and Stormy. The newbie was hitting well, she was pleased to see it, but damage wasn't enough if they started missing and the things could hit them back. "Ah'mma defer ta yer judgement Cherry, jus' sayin' mah piece." Ofelia had her guard up, her weapon up, and Rue was almost charged. Out of the three she probably had the most combat experience with these things but...she also had a bad bracelet on her wrist.

Not much else she could do.

Armagnac felt the need to comment on Ofie's suggestion before she was even done talking.

"No, it's a good idea, Ofie!" Despite what her weapon said, Sherry knew there was sense behind Ofelia's words. She already knew the value of a defense and attack team, and she could kick herself for not thinking of it sooner.

"I'll take defense for now," Sherry coughed as she adjusted her glaive and her stance. She kept her eyes on the figures she could see. Shadows and dead things. Why was it always dead things?

< < Do you hear that, Hatchling? > >

Patches slashed through more of them as Sherry stepped forward to stave off several more, but for a moment all Stormy saw were the living shadows that had surrounded her party on the island - just a quick flash of the past to disorient her, continuing the work of the strange gas. She's pissed herself before and almost had again this time.

< < That is the sound of weakness. > >

And he was right in a way. She had to be defended because of her inexperience, but . . . how else would she get better if not be tossed into things like this?

A hiss from behind was the only warning she got before something scratched at her legs. The trainee yelped, whirled around, and backed away, seeming to shrink in stature as she held her weapon up. "M-Maybe I could do the defending?" she offered, a bit too softly the first time; the second time was less shaky. "If you want, I mean."

Ofelia was a little pleased (and a bit smug with satisfaction) to see that Sherry stepped up to act in defense of the newcomer. It was an easy thing to do, not to mention weapons still got a charge while defending, and so Ofelia looked to the pair and nodded before she went in for another swipe. Her blades connected with a faceless figure, scattering it away, but her shield got torn into and something in the back of her mind wailed.

They were down to half-strength, her shield that is, but the runes on her blades glowed a fully charged red. "Ah'm ready fer a release charge at any time, jus' tell me what ta use it. Stormy, look ta Cherry fer yer orders an' jus' focus. Yer doin' fine, don't panic over every missed swing." She wanted to reach over and pat the girl on the head and reassure her but there was a high chance that her weapon might go off on Stormy and then everyone would be in a world of hurt. "Jus' keep hittin' an' yer gonna be fine." A wink-blink was sent in Sherry's direction as well, as if Ofelia was doing whatever she could to keep the spirits of the two girls high.

The truth was the faceless things, the sounds and noises, were making Ofelia very paranoid and inside her mind she was reeling back and forth with unhappy thoughts. Still she couldn't and wouldn't show it - a Sun was meant to tear down things on a battlefield. Enemy things.

Armagnac loved Stormy's suggestion.

Hush. Sherry was trying to focus, and Armagnac was not helping. This being in charge wasn't helping either. But she could do it. She had to do it. Even with all these things crawling around them. Bodies. Ugh. Sherry shuddered, but she didn't break her stance.

"She's right, Stormy, you're doing just fine!" Sherry smiled. "We can trade if you want, but don't feel like you have to."

Armagnac was not happy.

Sherry nodded towards Ofelia. "Release it whenever you want, Ofie!" Sherry had a pretty good idea of what the red-head was capable of, and she had a feeling they could use it.

Sherry held her stance. She was in charge, and it was going to do everything she could to protect the other girls. Both of them. "If anyone needs a bandage, let me know!"

Okay, don't panic, don't panic . . . But it was hard not to, even if this was her second time meeting the mysterious gas and the creatures it spawned. The older Hunters had things under control on their end, but what if she messed up again? Already she could feel her shield getting weaker at an alarmingly fast rate, and her retaliation was barely a nick on one of the walking corpses. She shuddered and tried to concentrate on the glowing red runes on Patches's weapons.

If her partner was anything like the Sun, it'd hit hard. She had to take comfort in that, right?

Stormy bit the inside of her cheek when Sherry asked about bandages, wanting to say she needed one but . . . Patches was taking a beating out there too, and she had been a lot more useful than the trainee; they needed to make sure the more experienced Hunters could last longer. "I think she might need one," she suggested to Sherry in a small voice, unsure if volunteering Patches was a good move or bad in the redhead's opinion. But Patches was starting to grow on her, and she'd hate to not at least try and have a hand at keeping her squad up.

Thane, ever so useful, just grumbled and growled for more Fear at the back of her mind. Just a little more, just a little more and he could have release . . . Which was what Stormy was afraid of honestly.

And then Ofelia missed. The snap on her flip flop came loose, she really needed to maybe fix it properly or get another pair, and the redhead hit the ground.

Her charge went off uselessly. Thankfully Sherry had her back and she didn't get too hurt.

Mostly her little bit of ego, mostly.

Sherry didn't even have time to respond to Stormy's suggestion before she noticed Ofelia falling. A moment later the Life trainee was at the red-head's side, one hand reaching for the bandage in her pocket.

"Are you alright?" she inquired. Not that she waited for an answer. She was already applying the bandage. Keeping the Fear shield up was key, after all. Sherry needed to help keep both girls safe.

"Stormy. How are you holding up?"

Stormy winced as the older Hunter tripped, her gut impulse to run suddenly transfigured into a gut impulse to defend at the sight of the creatures trying to overwhelm Patches. Even as her legs felt like jelly and her hands jittery masses clutching an oversized stick, the trainee forced herself forward with a small cry and whapped a few away. Not nearly enough to make a big difference, but the action itself was enough to help soothe her.

"I-I'm okay," she told Sherry with a glance. "Charge is ready, but it's a doozy, so I'm gonna need medical attention like right afterwards okay . . ." God she didn't want to use it, but the creatures weren't abating, and Patches was getting tired, and it might not be long before Sherry got her share of pain too. Maybe nipping it in the bud would be better than trying to recooperate all of them. Maybe she'd get lucky.

Maybe she'd just burn herself into unconsciousness.

Stormy then passed a concerned glance to Ofelia. "We should go shoe shopping," she suggested mildly, as opposed to ask how she was doing.

"Hey now, these flip flops are lucky." Ofelia frowned at Stormy's comment about her shoes, though it was much more a teasing frown given the state everyone was currently in. Sherry was at her side, bandaging her up, and the teen gave her a kiss on the forehead for her troubles. It was wrong to do, oh yes she knew, but Sherry was just so kissable and adorable.

Ofelia still liked boys though. She liked a boy in specific, but moving along.

"Ah'm fine Cherry, yer doin' good. An' thanks fer the support there Stormy." Getting back to her feet the sun hunter dusted herself off and looked the enemy, surprised that it seemed to be waiting for an attack. With the guard up from the mist trainee Ofelia took a nice lunge at the beast, stepping out of her shoes in the process. If a flip flop was broken, don't wear it.

It seemed to really do the trick as she wailed into the creature and took only a little damage as a return. They could do this if they kept going but Stormy seemed hesitant about her charge. "Cherry, protect Stormy. Pennies - " apparently this was now Stormy's sudden nickname - "Slap out that charge'a yers. Ah've got ya wit' support so don't worry."

Sherry smiled. Ofelia was just as cheerful as ever, and that was comforting. As long as the girls were alright, then everything would be okay.

"Ofelia's got it right," Sherry said as she stepped up to defend Stormy. Sherry had no trouble defaulting to what the Sun hunter said. Ofie was more experienced after all.

"We got this handled, ladies."

Considering how optimistic the ladies were being, Stormy could follow along even if she herself was not all that sure something bad wouldn't happen. She was happy at least that Patches was no longer in danger of tripping and slapping out attacks like fresh pancakes at IHOP, as well as grateful that Sherry was trying to keep the shadow beasties off her. But Patches was right, she couldn't hold this charge for very long; Thane was still a hungry little dracolich that longed to expel out what he had consumed.

Blinking at her new nickname, Stormy nodded dutifully and gripped the greatsword in anticipation. She had yet to really get in charge of this attack and always feared that, if she wasn't careful, it'd one day consume her. Thane could brush off her concerns all he wanted - it wasn't like he was the one who had the potential of being burned.

The jewel at the weapon's hilt and the runic markings along the inset glowed as the greatsword's edges exuded an oily substance. The trainee broke into a sudden run when the shadow creatures let off of Sherry's defense, raised Thane high, and swept forward in an arc at a line of monsters advancing on her. The friction of metal against whatever these things were made of set off the liquid, creating a sudden explosion of acidic flames that wiped out a patch of darkness in a matter of seconds. The aftermath left Stormy weak and sputtering as she stumbled away, the charge more draining than usual; she felt the subtle break of her shield and grew pale as she retreated, sweating and singed and flicking her sword to keep the creatures that followed at her heels back.

"s**t, s**t." Ofelia hissed as she watched Stormy go down, her teeth biting into her lip as she grabbed a roll of bandages from her hip. She practically threw them at Sherry as she went and positioned herself between the downed girl and the surging mass of whatever was in front of them. "Cherry, heal her up. Ah've got a bit left in me wit' mah shield - get Pennies back on her feet." Her tone made her voice sound like she was snapping, but rather she was just playing out a scene in her head. She could take maybe two more hits, two strong ones, before she went under.

Rue wasn't there in her head to help keep track so it was all up to feelings and trial and error to get it right. The teen lunged forward and struck the monster as hard as she could, feeling the after bite take a large chunk from her shield. Either way she'd dome damage and Stormy's attack had helped bring it down even more. They'd make it out of this alive, at least the two of them would, even if Ofelia had to stay behind to ensure it. "Get her up an' fight back!"
