UltimateBiscuit Ava watched the damned Kasumi's go up to the remnants of the roof through the clearing smoke. Bypassing the rafters Ava jumped and landed right on the roof top in one movement. Her foes were all around her, she held her guns firm and prepared to be attacked from any angle. *After Kasumi had surrounded Ava with all of her dopplegangers, they all started making hand signs quickly. Within seconds, each had summoned up a large amound of mana and began channeling it into their hands, as a raging torrent of wind began to pick up. Dead trees started to become uprooted, loose planks and other debris from the bar began to get picked up in what now seemed to be a whirlwind with Ava in the direct center. Each Kas stretched out her hands and began to chant, making the whirlwind go higher and higher into the air, so there was no chance that Ava could simply jump out. Eventually the small piece of roof Ava was standing on would crack, and she would be sent into the raging torrent. Then Kas would make her next move*

As the wind picked up Ava holstered her guns and grabbed a lose plank of wood off the roof just as the wind pulled her up like she was in a straw. She held it firmly at her side a she quickly rose hundreds of feet into the air, rapidly spinning and being pulled towards the top of the whirlwind formed by mana. Part of the roof soon came after her and both masses travelled upwards uncontrollably, almost out of sight from the ground. The sensation reminded her of the battle of a Leviathan months before.

*Kasumi knew that this would probably be her only time to catch Ava off gaurd. Two Kasumis jumped into the whirlwind from the top, one charging directly at Ava with her sword drawn, while the other seemed to fade away into the wind itself. The first Kasumi knew if she could at least get within a swords length near Ava before she could draw her gun, the advantage would be hers. Actually getting that close would be tricky. Her body moved freely in the wind, as if her and the wind she had created were one in the same. She moved quickly, sweeping down towards Ava, sword ready to strike at any moment*

By the time Ava was joined by the Kasumi's in the spin the roof section had caught up with her. Ava moved the board from her side to her feet and it slowed her down. The roof section now flew up ahead of her towards the first Kasumi, it was a large hunk and would be hard to dodge. Ava looked around the other debris flying and noticed a metal kitchen sink, or what was left of it. She grabbed it by its faucet and looked around for other things in the air around her as she raced upwards on a makeshift surfboard.

*The whole plan was to stop Ava from escaping from the top, so the remaining Kasumis began to raise the pillar of wind higher and begin to slowly close the top. The Kasumi still inside the torrent focused whatever little mana she had to create a wind blade, slicing through the roof and watching as the pieces swept up in the torrent began to hurdle towards Ava. Kas was closing in on her target, bringing the sword up and slashing downward toward's the woman's torso as she decended*

Sensing the doppelgangers slow movements Ava raised the kitchen sink into the blade. The kitchen sink was cut by the blow but left the sword stuck letting let Ava avoid the sword and draw, shooting a bullet right into the chest of the doppelganger defenseless in her sword stuck in the kitchen sink which Ava still held by the faucet.

*While Ava had her gun aimed at the first Kasumi's chest, it seemed as if she had forgotten about the second one who had entered the torrent. The attack came from below as the second Kas's body seemed to be shot out from the wind right below Ava as the first shot was fired. The doppleganger raised its sword and rose up, slamming the blade into what would be Ava's back. Unfortunetly, the wind seemed to lower her accuracy, so it would only slam into the area right behind the shoulder blade of the arm of the hand where she held the gun. On contact, Ava would feel that same shocking sensation she felt when she touched Kasumi's sword way back when she destroyed her home*

The sword sliced into Ava's back, slicing all the way along it diagonally because she tried to dodge the second sword. She cringed and fell forward, letting go of the faucet and grabbing her last grenade on her, unhooking the pin and tossing it in the middle of the whirlwind she then jumped backwards off the board and floated on the side of the funnel as they rose up near the end. Floating, now grasping both guns.

*Kas then jumped back after the sword had done its damage, and she seemed to meld back into the torrent once more. The explosion would be carried throughout the torrent, and the high movement of the wind would spread the explosion far enough that Ava may as well have held onto the grenade itself. Kasumi saw her second chance to strike as she appeared above ava this time, this slash more directed at the guns to see if she could slice through whatever components they were made of*

Ava twisted and blocked the sword with the gun barrel, the gun held and actually pushed the sword and Kas back upwards, its blessed metal reacting against a threat. That's when the grenade detonated and Ava reacted to the explosion, her guns held together, forming a cross shape. The grenades thermite was moved all around the whirlwind, burning anything that it touched but the force pushed against Ava's makeshift holy shield and pushed her out of the winds field and force. Ava was now sailing across the sky on the force of the impact, slowly losing velocity and began to fall downwards. Finally out of the forsaken tornado

*Unfortunetly, Ava wasn't out of trouble yet. The remaining five Kasumi saw Ava being propelled forth from the tornado and all simulataneously threw their remaining shuriken while Ava was still in the air, reducing the chance of her being able to dodge it. Shooting them out of the air would cost both a substantial amount of ammo, as well as an extremely quick shot. The Kasumi drew their swords now as the tornado evaporated. They were all out of mana, and as soon as they were defeated, the original Kasumi would be no more than a walking target.*

Given the variable speed of Ava falling it was no surprise that one of the shuriken went above Ava. Trying to deflect them Ava hit two more coming at her with her gun handles, one went flying upon being struck and flew away, the other was only clipped and made a cut on Ava's arm. The last two connected into Ava's hips, sticking into her outer thigh and causing blood to flow down her clothes like on her arm and back had already done.

*The Kasumi's continued to track Ava through the air, ready to strike at the exact minute she hit the ground. One sped up and came to a stop a few feet above the spot where she thought ava would land. The group of five was organizing for another surrounding assault. Nothing as dramatic as a tornado, but something that got the point across.* (gotta go! Good night all! sweatdrop )

Ava was now seventeen feet from the ground. She held a gun in her right hand and in her left the two shuriken that had dug into her hips. With skill she threw them, each at the skull of one of the Kasumi's and with her right shot a bullet each at two more Kasumi's.

*Two kasumi's raised their fists and took the shuriken as it was coming at them. The throwing star would dig into their hands, but it was minimal damage in comparison to death. The other two, however, were not so lucky. The bullets passed through them, causing them to dissolve into dust. Quickly the others took notice and jumped into the air to attack her. One attacked from the back with her sword ready, the two who had been struck with the shuriken jumped higher up by pushing mana into their feet and were going to come down and strike her, while one remained on the ground, waiting for the landing*
