Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Which one?" Flare shouted down at the wolf man.

Her hands were glowing still brighter.

"Pick one!" The words were almost spat out as his hands started opening and closing. Quite frankly, all this standing around was annoying him.

"The one with the portal!"

Shouyin was as much waiting for one of these guys to be grounded as Laz was.

How exciting.

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW WULF?
ARE YOU -PLEASED-!?

((First of all, I have several OOC comments.

1. If Amp opened the portal in response to "it sensed Flare powering up" it would have opened the portal about three posts ago. As I've been powering up that long. And then Flare would have directed the flames to not go into the portal. So I'm going to assume that you meant Amp opened the portal when it saw the flames blossom from Flare's hands.

2. Flare is floating in the air, even with Amp and Null, about five yards away. So neither she nor they has the high ground.

3. Flare's fire resistant. I don't know if the Celestial energy will make this fire capable of hurting her or not...for my own sanity I will assume that if it does, it is not enough to make it crippling. Let me know if I am wrong. Actually, let me know how much it ought to hurt.))

The nice thing about being a creature of fire, is that fire really doesn't bother you so much. The fire Amp threw back at her was enough to make Flare feel hot, but not enough to burn her...and if the Celestial energy made the fire hurt her, it was not enough to hinder her movements.

For by the time Amp had thrown the fire back at her, Flare was already flying upwards and towards Null, inadvertantly dodging most of the flames before they reached her. She might or might not cry out in pain as the Celestial energy burned her legs...but her wings kept working.

She dived downward towards Null, ignoring the possible pain in her legs. She had no time to get behind him, so she could only hope that however he might try to dodge, she would be able to adjust and catch him. She also kept an eye out for those portals...she didn't want to be caught in one of them.

She managed to adjust - barely - enough to bring Null to the ground with her. As they fell, she ignored the sensation of the skin melting beneath her hands...whatever was happening, she needed them to get to the ground, first.

The impact flung her body further forward and into him, entangling her further. The demon struggled to push off him, to get away, but her struggles only made her sink further into him. It seemed there were very few parts of her that were not stuck - her face being one of them. She unleashed tiny flames into his body...no stronger than the flames of a candle...in hopes that it might make him release her hands, at least. But even so, her arms would still be stuck...

After a moment, she did the only thing she could do. Flare rolled to the side, throwing her weight over so as to pull Null with her. If she succeeded, they would both be lying on their sides, with Null's back facing Lazenca, shielding her own body from whatever attack the wolf man would make.

((Excuse me. I'm sorry. I'm finding my posts have not been as clear as they should have been lately. For that I apologize.
1. She had the high ground versus the other players whom at first she was against.
2. The portal is instantionous, I just waited to make it dramatic. My apologies.

3. Celestial does add damage. But it doesn't matter whether it hurts Flare or not, Amp is only protecting her own skin, she doesn't care if anyone else gets toasted or not unless she's bored.

That said...))


Sam glanced up at Amp just as Amp caught sight of her. There was a grin on the white figure's face. Amp's skin began to bubble, the gem on her chest glowing brightly as two more arms sprung out, giving her four arms instead of two. From three of them came balls that she began to juggle, before all three shot right at Sam. How many could Charlie dodge....? And how many would bounce around the temple, the car, the bike or the van...and blow things up?

Flare should have totally roasted that guy holding her... depending on this guy's properties, he would either start melting like rubber or harden like drying mud. Either would have been fine, really... as long as the guy had no control of his body.

Alas, the option to remove Null by hand wasn't one at all, and he would have to wait on that. For now, he'd do his part to not melt, but harden Null. Lazenca had no idea that Flare hated cold-types and such, as she'd shown him no reason to suspect it- had she, he would have decided on doing something else except the only thing he'd been doing this entire game- flash freezing whatever was annoying him in an attempt to cripple it.

Lazenca waited for them to drop out of the sky and walked over, his hand reared back. Upon impact with the ground and when Flare set her position, Lazenca bent down, thrusting his hand his into the layer of mud-like skin[?]. He was suprised to find solidity beneath, but it wouldn't stop him from instantly beginning to pump as much coldness into this... thing. His theory was that if this was a liquid at all, it would begine to freeze quite quickly, after which point a decision could be made as to the frozen thing on Laz and Flare's body.

Initially, Flare would only feel it where Null was holding her, but as energy transfer goes, as long as he had to keep this up, she'd feel it and it'd start to spread.

First it was rolled over, then had a hand shoved into its 'back', and finally had some p***k try to skull ******** it with what Null believed to be a hammer.

Overall - this situation just sucked it hardcore. Even more so as the biting cold started to take hold. Its material was insulated enough and excessively hard at the core. But the outside was smooth and sticky. There would be no absolute damage to the things internals but the outside was different.

For one thing Flare would be stuck in the flash frozen bonds created by the adhesive which clung to her. Some would shatter with Shouyin's strikes and some would not, mostly on her left side which was lower down Null's body. As for the right side - top up - side of Null's form it totally got ravaged. Freezing something then delivering a beastial beating tends to shatter s**t.

Laz - if he were still freezing the thing - would probably not have time to react. Flare being half under it would be in the same situation. Shouyin might have gotten away.

What would he have gotten away from? The black hole'esque portal that opened under the creature and swallowed it hole. Kind of like a rock thrown into water gets swallowed.

Only took a few seconds after getting sucked in for the hole to open way the hell up in the air and drop all three of them out (Three only being if all three: Flare, Null, and Laz were caught) about twenty feet to the ground. Null barely managed to catch flight again. Even then it seemed to gradually lower towards the ground.

Perhaps the fact that its outer shell was completely filled with cracks and a solid now that weighed it down?
