The Queen's Legacy (Phase Two)

[PLOT POST HERE. Read it!]

As quickly as it had begun, the Tyrant's rampage down in the City was over. He was last seen disappearing into the alleys around Religion Row, where any pursuers were thrown off in the maze of temples and shrines. It was probably better they leave him alone in any case... seeing what had happened to those who didn't.

It had been a few hours. The City was once again quiet, dotted by small areas of destruction and trails of blood where the Tyrant had brawled with crew members. The injured had been gathered and shipped to the Outsider's hotel until they could be moved to medical proper. And though the situation was not over, it was safe enough to go down, survey the damage and start cleaning up.

...Maybe.



A few blocks from the hotel, something was quietly growing in the darkness of a rubble pile.

"--Woah!"

Jr. had no idea HOW many vines this thing had, but he was ready for another plan of action if they came too close or grabbed in. In the meantime, though, he took aim with his twin pistols and fired off a few rounds. A couple of slithery vines were hardly difficult to hit on target for a boy who could bounce a bullet off of a bunch of coins in mid-air.

The vines wiggle and twitch as they're struck with bullets. The plant almost seems to make a hissing noise. Vines that are damaged badly enough seem to die, flaking off and falling to the ground like autumn leaves-- but others manage to heal themselves and now start aggressively swinging at Jr.'s head.

Quickly ducking down, he stumbled a few steps ... damn there were sure a lot of vines. --too many and I'll be overwhelmed, he quickly thought. Spinning the guns on his fingers and concentrating as he continued to try and maneuver around them, a few faint particles of light surrounded him.

"Ether drive!" he called out, and from seemingly nowhere, bursts of fire sprouted from the ground around him.

The plant failed to account for the fact that some people might have fire abilities to use against it.

Making another bizarre noise, the vines withdrew quickly-- and they couldn't heal while still on fire. They were actively retreating now.
