The Queen's Legacy (Phase Two)

[craaazyisland]

[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.

Andy jumped back an materialized his staff, not sure exactly how much help it was going to be, but hey, they needed to do something about this plant. So far, it didn't seem like this plant thing had any weaknesses that they could exploit just yet.

Kate dodged another tendril, and she now had her spear in her hands. She brought it around and down to try to stab one of the tendrils to pin it. It thrashed, and got loose, knocking her back.

"These powers didn't happen to come with pruning skills by any chance did they?" She yelled with annoyance as she got back up.

Rolling to one side, Jamie quickly got to his feet and summoned his own staff, taking a slice at the tendril that was trying to double back on him. They've got to figure a way to keep the tendrils out of action long enough that they can get closer to the plant, or they'll never be able to finish it.

"Billy said that we have control over certain abilities. Maybe if ye can put them in the attacks we can keep the tendrils from regrowing!"

"I'll see what I can do!" Ron fell back, and summoned mist that quickly engulfed the area. Screeches and honking horns emanated from nowhere, and a bus filled with monkeys drove through the tentacles, ripping away bits an pieces of them as it passed.

"Guys! Try and attack towards the big ugly plant. We might be able to clear a path!"

Another tendril reached for Kate, and she whacked it with the spear. Certain abilities. So far, there was her fighting abilities, if stronger now. There was a surge of pollen that made her gasp and choke.

Breathe, need to breathe. Air, wind She brought her hands out to send wind swirling to drive the pollen back and away from them. It prevented the tendrils from getting close for a moment as well.

She was used to dodging things but having so many tendrils launched at her? Even the Wunderkind could mess up sometimes. Something large, spiky and nasty connected with her chest area and she spiraled backwards, her new skills allowing her to recover nicely.

"Owww!" Of course that didn't mean she wasn't angry about it. And then suddenly something in her mind clicked.She could have that not happen. Why? She didn't know, but somehow the flow around her seemed controllable. Almost automatically, a few words were brought to her lips, as her helmet glowed and she preformed a few hand movements. "Flow Reversal!"

The tendrils, miraculously, moved backwards, and she knew. She knew where they were going to go this time. Without hesitation, she brought out her spear's pike and hit it at the exact moment it would have connected with her body before.

"Take that you large overgrown houseplant!"

[cityship]

Hey, that hurts. It is an overgrown houseplant and you're being insensitive!

But hurt (plant) feelings or no, there's some regular type hurt getting dished out. The Ranger's regular attacks are driving back the vines, and finally the plant diverts them completely in a separate direction. It's getting attacked from multiple sides and it can't keep healing on all sides anymore.

The path to the building where the plant is camping out is clear.

"Hey guys, we got a path!" Ron shouted, firing his blaster at any vines that remained.

[andyallgrownup.livejournal.com]

"That's good!" Andy shouted, focusing on his Gravity as he tried to keep the vine's in place for Ron's blaster. "We should hurry before we lose this chance!"

[bonnypiperlad]

Jamie focuses on channeling his new fire ability into his attacks with the halberd to force the vines back. As they withdraw, he switches to his own blaster - it's much easier to run with that.

"Aye! Get as close as ye can to it, and keep an eye out for any weak spots."

He's off, then, using the blaster to make sure the path stays clear so they can get through.

Shooting; now there was something Lash already loved to do and being super-charged. They didn't have to ask her twice, as she moved around, dodging and shooting as much as her blaster would allow her.

"Here's hoping it has a giant eye or and different colored weak point or something!"

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Once the wind attack got some of it cleared away, she continued to stab and alternate with blaster shots as she moved along toward the cleared out area.
