Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sunstrike jumped in surprise when the creature jumped out into Tellus, acting like a startled cat and actually ending up on the dias, barely missing the little vials in his panic.

They tinked alarmingly when he rattled the cage by planting a foot on it, three other limbs bracing himself upsidedown against it. Then something came from behind, crashing into him and causing even more disturbling little vibrations in the coloured vials.

Stone was bloody heavy when it impacted with you and Sun felt his ribcage take a beating as the fist impacted with it.

Tellus turned around to say thanks to Hono only to see another ready to pounce the redhead. Grabbing her by the shoulder, she pushed her to the side just in time to move away from it. Turning to the side, she watched it collide with another one that had been behind her. She might've made a quip, but at the moment, she was too focused on keeping breathing. "I hope someone is willing to carry me after this..."

She bent down, the nagamaki clattering to the ground and pressed the palms of her hands to the ground. Pushing every fiber of her will and being into the earth of the floor, creating spikes that would form almost instantly, spiking through their two foes multiple times, large enough to split the creatures in two. It might catch more as they were springing up all over the place only avoiding the area where she and Hono were and the more general area where Sunstrike ********..." Her face kept turning paler as she focused more and more energy into the casting. Her hair turning more and more white as she did so, heat coming off her body in visible waves.

"I'm a little busy to be worrying about bottles HONO!!" His foot had somehow jammed itself on the creatures nose, which was the only thing keeping the great big muzzle from taking out his neck. It gave him enough time to bring his weapon to bear, slamming it through the stone beasts neck. Something flickered, and there was an angry screetch, before it crumpled over.

Sun had sat up only to have to dance and move away from the multiple spikes that suddenly threw themselves up from the ground.

"May all the gods damn it! That was close?!" He wasn't blaming Tellus, just cursing his frustration at the situation. One of his opponants wasn't so lucky as himself, getting pinned by multiple rock spikes. Sun put it out of it's misery, weapon flaring up again and creating a melted wound in it's head.

"Vahn?! VAHN WHERE THE HELLS ARE YOU?!"

"Sorry..."Tellus panted "Hard to control..." She toppled over onto Hono, like a tired child. And she wasn't much better. She used to have much better control of her abilities then this.

The bright flash of light though startled her and she jumped off Hono with a start. "Sweet Light, what was that?" Crawling on her hands and knees towards the ledge where Vahn had toppled over.

"Vahn..."

A warm hand suddenly found Hono's and gently pulled back on it a bit, guiding her so she didn't fall off the ledge.

"Careful, s'a bit of a drop..." It was all Sunstrike could do not to jump over the ledge and search out Vahn. A feeling close to panic was stirring in the back of his mind.

Bringing Hono up close, and standing next to Tellus he peered over the edge anxiously.

"Vahn! You okay?!"

Halycanos let off a very smug 'heh' before shaking his head. Maybe so. But that's just the plan. I was damned rusty in that tournement. (considering the time elapsed, the semi finals are taking place) ...I guess I was a bit overly proud of myself, but that won't happen again next year. I'm either walkin' away with that trophy in my hands, or I'll be carted away under a white cotton sheet." The implication was obvious enough, but for those people reading this on the side, who just happen to be a bit, DEE DEE DEE!, He's saying all or nothing.

Tellus' arms gave out and she collapsed to the ground as she saw Vahn was okay. Call it childish loyalty, but she still felt that her uncle was one of the most powerful beings in the world. Perhaps even more so then her father. So as long as he was okay, they'd be fine.
