"Oh, this isn't going to go well." He said, as much to himself as much as to anyone else. If they didn't have opening, then he'd have to try and create some. He backed up as far as he could out of the fight watching for any possible sneak attacks. He then pointed his sword at one of the attackers, making sure that he wouldn't hit one of his own, even if the person dodged and launched ice shards from the tip. It wouldn't do enough damage to mortally wound them, but he wasn't going for injuries. Right now he was just trying to make openings that the others could use.

Nathan stared at it. What did it do, anyway? What did "Medusa" mean? What were the characteristics of the mythical Medusa? Snakes for hair, female... that didn't make sense... and of course the famous stone glare. That made sense. But how to use it? He hadn't really ever seen anything quite like this before... what did Medusa need to turn men to stone? She had to look at them, and they at her. Perhaps... perhaps their eyes needed to meet? Perhaps.
He primed the Fire I, generated some power behind it, and launched a fireball, attempting to gain the attention of one of the IR members.

Zane only allowed himself a moment to be amazed by what had just happened. He was in a fight and needed to be on guard. While he was deciding how to proceed in the fight, when he saw a fireball. He froze, staring at it. He could ignore all the strange stuff that was happening, but fire was fire. It always got to him. He didn't lower his arms at all, but they would do little good with him frozen by his fear of fire. He swallowed weakly and noticed that he had broken into a cold sweat. He hated how he always froze up around fire. He tried to tear his eyes away from it so he could concentrate on the enemy, but he couldn't. "No...No problem Zane, it'll be gone in a minute..." Zane's voice was shaky as he attempted to calm himself down.

The Rose in question easily deflected the ice shards, smirking a bit, but in the split second that there was a minute hole in his defenses, Nathan's fireball hit him in the arm.
He spun to glare at Nathan and raised his arm, presumably to launch a counterattack, but as their eyes met the Rose's arm froze at his side. In fact, all of his body froze.
Medusa caused a neural connection between two individuals based on eye contact, and similar to Skulltap, it caused a chemical reaction that - in this case - severed certain nerve endings that caused a person to freeze up.

Not exactly how he had expected it, but it the was the opening he had hoped to create. He encased the guy's hands and feet in ice preventing him from being able to activate a mysticker and holding him to the ground, just in case the whole paralysis thing wore off. He then tried to remote freeze the ground under the next enemy, noticing how easily the shards had phased the man before he was paralyzed. He knew he wasn't very good at distance, but he figured an ice patch was simple enough that even he could handle it seeing as he had made one when he tried to summon a ramp in front of a car.

Anatoly came down the steps, charging his Ice 1 as he ran. He encased his arms in his standard bars-and-skin-grater armor. Seeing the disabled IR Blazer, Anatoly solved that problem the best way he knew how. He approached at a sprint and, seeing a brief opening, froze the water in the air around the Blazer's head - and created several minuscule beads in a loose ring around the Indigo Rose man's throat. The dozens of small, bullet-like projectiles all fires directly towards the windpipe of the disabled man.

The man got his mobility back just as Anatoly initiated his attack. One of the other Roses shoved a hand forward, and the Ice bullets were thrown away in a pulse, clattering to the floor and melting. A second Rose engulfed the trapped Rose in a wave of heat, flash melting all of the ice on him. Then the three turned on Anatoly with murder in their eyes.
He found himself about to be struck by a blue fireball, a kinetic pulse, and a stream of small purple bullets. Dodging was not likely.

Noticing how the three of them were paying little, if any attention he glanced at the third and figured he was little preoccupied and that he could catch the others off guard. He charged the man using fire figuring he presented the most problems for an ice user, swinging his sword at the man's neck, and as he charged him he froze the ground directly under him hoping it would stop him from being able to dodge as easily.

Once the fire was gone, Zane began to feel better. Mostly, anyways, he still wasn't completely better. Taking a moment to analyze the fight, he realized that there were two other people with ice Mystickers, like him, and watched them disable and then attempt to kill one of their opponents. Now, he had a problem again. There was fire flying at one of the other people with an ice Mysticker! He didn't freeze this time, even if he did break out into a cold sweat again. If he wanted to help, he'd have to act fast. Licking his lips, Zane stretched his arms out towards Anatoly and attempted to create an ice shield around him. He trembled as he did so, due to the fire, but gave it his all, anyways. He did not notice the attack on the fire-wielding man.

Nathan shifted towards Anatoly, but not within the blast radius of whatever it was that was attacking him. Instead he launched another couple fireballs, priming Medusa again and preparing to make a finishing blow next time he was given an opportunity. He'd discuss that with Anatoly during a lull in combat, or once the next one was frozen. He'd need cover, after all.

"Thanks man!" Anatoly yelled, adding his own ice shielding to what Zane had donated to him, then hitting the floor and hoping most of the attacks would go over him.

Everybody died in a blaze of power, leaving Indigo Rose as the ultimate victors.
Mike's attempt defeated itself, as the man slipped and Mike's attack went wide, missing his throat. The Rose then pushed him up and away with a kinetic punch to the gut.
The wall of attack that was aimed at Anatoly crashed into the wall. The kinetic force cracked it, and the blue fire burned it away in a second. Luckily, Anatoly had hit the floor, and the purple attack went into the ceiling, where it ate away the metal like acid.
The 4 Roses reformed into a group, facing the scattered Blazers.

Nathan took notice of this. The Roses had perfect support and were tightly packed. That made an area of effect attack useful against them, but nobody had one that seemed particularly effective. Perhaps that was true the other way?
"Regroup!" Nathan suggested, moving closer to Anatoly, his fists up and his Mystickers still ready for action.

After giving himself a second to recover from the punch, Mike grouped next to Nathan, and prepared himself to create as big of a shield as he could to protect them.
(Sorry that it's such a short post, but I'm running late for a party and I apologize ahead of time, but I probably won't be back on tonight, at least not until 1 or 2 in the morning. I'm pretty busy on weekends for the most part now. I'll see you guys later.)

((Man, you guys are stubborn on this one. There is a way to end this fight with your victory in a very short time, but you have to make the right calls here.))
The four Roses all fired off kinetic pulses of incredible power at once, creating a wave of force that warped the very air as it sped toward them.
Rufus was first, throwing up a wall of wood that shattered into toothpicks. Wilde and Farley overcharged their Stickers and slashed at the same time, creating a wall of air pressure, to no effect.
