Lina shivered and returned to her feet. She needed to think up a plan, but also she needed to get herself ready to fight quickly. She focused, lowering herself to her knees and closing her eyes. She turned her energy inward and started working on a rush job of healing. A dust like aura forming around her as she used her makeshift light based healing technique to recover as much as she could.
Meanwhile she was attempting to simulate nerve impulses to the missing arm, small sparks becoming visible as a slowly increasing amount of Rai traced the missing nerve impulses. Slowly forming barriers as if she were trying to protect the missing limb. She then pushed herself off the ground, twitching the fingers on her Rai-armor based construct. And glanced at the status of the fight, and more importantly the coffin.

Ookamimaru had followed behind the rest. He held his skythe tightly, as he kept the air he had imprinted as close as possible.
He was extemely terrified of the cloaked figures and had flinched when he heard what sounds they made.
When Lina lost her arm on the sword, creating a huge beam, he cursed himself, because he had almost turned around and fled.
He'd silently agreed with Lina's theory about the connection between the destroyed dojos and the elements the creatures were using. Especially when the figure on top of the coffin used rai to break the boulder. On one way or another, they absolutely had to care for it that that coffin stayed close, so that the wind user would stay inside, and maybe the Kaze dojo would be spared if they succeeded.
He shuffled a little bit forward, his gaze going from Ren, over the fog where Tier had dissapeared in, to Lina. He wanted to not just stand there, But he didn't want to screw up by walking into the way of the others either. At least, that's what he made himself believe.
He silently waited until one of the creatures would attack him, until someone would give him orders, or until he would find a chance to attack on his own without getting elimitated immediately after.

The earth user in it's brown robes, and the water user were revealed to be the targets of Ren's attack. The mist and similar size and shape of the creatures making it easy to confuse which creature was which.
The Earth user countered by kicking the spike, seeming to drain energy away from the technique with the impact. The water user took the hit, rising into the air before seeming to melt away.
Tier would find his technique seeming to loose a small amount of it's power as the water user's copy was destroyed. The figure who had remained trying to open the coffin also turned it's attention to the stream of water, while the Rai user switched tasks with it quickly. This creature which hadn't acted through elements so far adopted a pose for fire breathing and let out a spray of liquid flame after several rapid handsigns and noises.
The water user seemed to remain hidden, but there was a subtle drain remaining constant on Tier's technique, as the fire sprayed into it, and the water seemed to be gaining temperature rapidly even before coming into contact with the flame that was evaporating it.
In one of the water pockets from when the area was still a living Marsh Ren's eyes might make out a chakra void matching the shape of the other creatures. Given the disappearance of the water user it seemed a likely hiding spot.

Tier sunk back to the ground as his shadow maneuvered around the battle-zone. He was plotting his next moves while the others were fighting.

Ren's byakugan identified who was casting what element while he himself kept a safe distance. Just as the water-user had disappeared, Ren had stopped going on the offensive. His eyes scanned the fogged battle field, but his attention was dragged towards the fire beam that was going at Tier. Ren slid the ground with his foot hard; a spear-like projectile shot from the earth aimed to pierce the fire-breathing creature from the side.

Lina watched Ren's attack and focused, pushing herself forward suddenly, forming her Rai-Skates to accelerate herself forward in a seemingly erratic pattern. She moved the constructed arm launching a Tiger claw strike with the hand of the construct, her target the back of the coffin the creatures seemed so interested in opening and her burst of speed requiring a quick barrier to direct the displaced air from her rush.

The fire user kept spraying his flame until Tier Vanished. The figure spun to the side as Ren's earth technique aimed to spear it. It's robes were gashed and several droplets of black started to drop onto the ground. The figure jumped away from the coffin and clutched it's wounded side.
The Rai user flared it's aura in an attempt to drain Lina's energy away based barriers enough to not pierce the coffin, but it gave one last heave to pull the lid off the coffin.
The water user remained hidden, and the earth user sunk into the ground as the coffin opened.
The figure inside the coffin was dressed differently then the others. It wore strangely designed attire. It was Red, Black, and White material in a strange design showing underneath a white cloak worn open aside from the figure's choice to keep it's hood up to obscure the face. Unlike the other figures or the coffin itself would inspire the figure inside stood only four feet tall. Yellow animalistic eyes seemed to glow for a moment and a wave of killing intent flowed out... Though to Ookamimaru the feeling would be strangely wrong, the fear was still there, but it was as if an instinct that came with Tobu was screaming to kill it.
((Made an assumption there Ooka, I'll delete if it you want))

(no problems, sorry for late reaction, it was my birthday)
Ookamimaru was acting as if it was the most natural thing in the world for him.
Tobu usually never interferes on new moon, only in extreme emergencies.
He therefore didn't doubt one bit at Tobu's craving to kill the figure.
He brought his scythe back, accumulating the air he had kept with him and concentrating it on the scythe. He then brought the scythe forward in a powerful swing, creating a ripple of concentrated, slicing air. The ripple became broader as it covered more distance.
Because it was slightly tilted, a small side of the ripple first touched the ground.
To Ookamimarus disbelief, it simply cut into the ground, throwing dust and stones into the air, until that part had lost his power.
The newest figure found himself into the path the ripple would come by. If it remained there, It would be sliced in two.

Lina twitched, she felt the constructed arm stabbing into the figure's back... it was just that the arm stopped right there, she was shocking the figure as her chakra and the electricity were separated with contact, but it wasn't accomplishing anything of use. The fact that the figure's chakra seemed to be rising told Lina all she needed to know and she lept back, switching tactics as she reformed the construct arm and rushed away, glancing around for the other four figures.
"Might be a bit more to this" she muttered.

Lina's attack seemed to jumpstart the figure. One moment it was standing still, seemingly inert and about to be impacted by the wind technique the next it vanished appearing behind Ookamimaru.
The Earth user stomped the ground and a pillar formed underneath the Rai user, sending it and the coffin into the Air. The Rai user seemed to be riding the coffin down, holding it's hand up and channeling energy from the pillar of red lightning to it's hands as it descended upon Ren.

They're absorbing chakra-based attacks to each of their respective elements. The earth-user absorbed Ren's spires, but the fire-user couldn't completely avoid the next earth attack. The water user did a way with my water beam, and the fire one finished the beam off.
They have to be separated.
The new one though...
Tier's attention immediately turned to the new foe that reappeared behind Ookamimaru. The one that came out of the coffin. Tier's original attention was directed at finding the hidden water-user's location.
Summoning: Garm
His blobbed shadow raced across the ground towards Ookamimaru; not sure if he could reach the student's shadow in time before the new opponent attacked.

A few seconds passed before Ookamimaru understood that the figure was now behind him. He didn't understand how it did it, but that didn't matter.
He turned around and used the momentum to swing his scythe with him, towards the figure. He'd coated the scythe with a thin layer of remaining air, wich would, Ookamimaru hoped, make it sharper.
It was only a question if the attack would be on time, since he'd lost time figuring out where the figure had went.
He hadn't noticed the shadow coming towards him.

Ren felt satisfied that one of his attacks had landed; not making the mental realization that Tier had made yet. His attention was already directed towards the lightning-user above him.
Uh oh.
The texture of Ren's skin mimicked the dirt beneath him as he phased through the ground. His byakugan saw the fifth figure come out of the coffin before he submerged.

The Rai user accelerated, it and the coffin smashing into the ground with enough force to form an inpact crater. The energy built up was released into the ground moments after the impact in an attempt to push Ren further underground. The byproduct being a bright red flash.
The earth user started to search the ground following the impact.
The fire user remained clutching it's side, scanning the ground, while the water user slowly rose out of one of the geysers.
Ookamimaru's attack snagged the cloak of the figure but it seemed to vanish once more. The cloak was cut at a surprisingly low point considering Ooka's respective height to the creature. Those with eyes able to see the creature before it seemed to vanish would notice that it seemed to grow immediately before it moved. This time towards Lina.

The moment Lina noticed the figure behind Ooka she was pulling out a kunai and molding it through Rai. She started to adapt the construct arm around Reeve's improvised Railgun technique, save without any flesh in her construct there wasn't anything to damage. Lina closed her eyes, moulding the pure metal out of the blackened exterior of the knives, letting them sink into her 'arm'. When the figure moved Lina launched the knives to intercept it. The now polished silver glinting in the moonlight as it raced towards the figure.
