[quote=@Lunarlors34][hider=My Hider] [center][h1][color=bc8dbf]Ethel Storm[/color], [color=92278f]Jessica Albert[/color], [color=00aeef]Manami Fuyu[/color], [color=ed1c24]Cody Bloodstein[/color], [color=7ea7d8]Shiro Hime[/color], and [color=2e3192]James Lumin[/color][/h1][/center] [@Raijinslayer][@Zarkun][@Joshua Tamashii][@Roseletta][@Infichi][@Caits][@Crimson Raven] Jessica grimaced slightly from the effort to keep her blade in check against James...to be honest, while she was skilled with the blade, Jessica's sword was more for show and for aiding her magic than actual combat. So against a swordsman of James calibre, she didn't stand a chance alone. However, she wasn't alone. She managed to peel away and dodge the kick, as well as the shoulder check, but the smite slammed straight into her gut. She skidded backwards from the blow but quickly stopped by slamming her sword into the ground. [color=92278f]"I care not for what you say Paladin, your words are meaningless against justice itself."[/color] With the flick of her wrist, the darkness which had enveloped the blade now formed a solid barrier in front of her. Unfortunately she wasn't prepared for it to ricochet and slammed into her back now. That made her shield disappear and allow James to lock blades with her once more. The other James meanwhile (Lumin that is) couldn't stand by and watch Jessica fighting James (not him). Quickly forgetting the entire reason they were here, he sent a single spear of light aimed at James' (not him, the other one XD) back as he prepared a spell to blind him. However with James focusing on James (...eh I'm sure you can work out who is who XD), that left Shiro and Manami open in a brief window. At the mention of a plan, Ethel looked up towards Verrick with her head cocked ever so slightly to the side. [color=bc8dbf]"Verrick makes plans?"[/color] It was tough to gauge whether Ethel was messing with him or not, as she said it with a deadpan serious look. Well as serious as a look of surprise can look I suppose. She nodded briefly at the points he made. Yes her sister was (surprisingly) a girl. Ethel wasn't sure why he had to state something so obvious, and state that girls like Chu's twice, but she simply nodded and went along with it. However at the mention of a Chu army...that got her attention. A grand image of Chu's in armor mounted atop more, smaller Chu's charging into battle quickly entered her naive, childlike mind. Each Chu wielding a small, chu sized sword (or other weaponry). Now that was something she had to see! She was somewhat disappointed by the sight of just....well a large amount of ordinary Chu's. But only somewhat. It was still a lot of Chu's! As Verrick gave his army his evil, devious orders and laughed manianically Ethel had already scooped up an entire armful of the fluffballs and nuzzled her face up against them while muttering one, single word. [color=bc8dbf]"Cute."[/color] Cody looked over as Time Lord spoke to him....who the heck was that? He gave him a surprised, confused look as Time Lord walked up but before he could really think about much he found James calling out to him to stop Shiro and Manami. That left a question in Cody's mind, how? Surely his magic couldn't be cast in time to stop them. I mean it wasn't like an army of super adorable, fluffy creatures would swarm over and distract them long enough to throw up a barrier. That was just crazy talk.....or maybe not. Cody watched on in disbelief as the army of Chu's swarmed across the battlefield, hereby causing the distraction he needed. With just the tips of his fingers glowing as he drew imaginary lines in the air before him. [color=ed1c24]"Here goes nothing....Absolute Dome."[/color] Cody hadn't quite gotten this spell down to a fine art just yet, but he didn't need it to repel attacks right now so it should serve it's purpose of locking Shiro and Manami within. It would be fragile, but as long as no one did anything crazy it should hold. Shiro was peacefully attempting to help Manami up, but that all changed when the Chu army attacked. The sheer surprise of such an adorable army running at her caught her off guard, as they now knocked her over and swarmed her downed body before unleashing their ferocious attacks of nuzzling, licking and letting out various cute noises and other cute things they would do which were also harmless. [color=7ea7d8]"Wait....stop...help..."[/color] Shiro let out as she held back an urge she hadn't felt for a long time, the urge to laugh. These Chu's were worthy foes. They had found out her one, true weakness. She was highly ticklish. An almost invisible barrier was now erected around the two dark mages and Amelia, since she had walked into the spell just as Cody had cast it. So while he hadn't meant for her to get trapped within it, she ended up getting herself stuck. Oh well between Shiro being swarmed by Chu's and Manami having lost consciousness at this point, it wasn't like any harm would come to her anyway. In fact, she would be slightly safer within the dome.[/hider] [/quote] Verick let out a few deep breaths and inhaled even deeper. [color=00746b]“Damn that… that took a lot out of me… “[/color] He rubbed his stomach and groaned a bit. [color=00a99d]“Gonna need to eat a big meal later… But hey! It worked. See that kid! You shouldn’t doubt...” He turned to look at Ethel, but she was currently busy with her handful of Chu’s. “Hey… Hey… Those guys are supposed to be attacking the enemy...”[/color] He shook his head and facepalmed. [color=00746b]“Well I suppose I should just be happy that the plan worked out… I mean we don’t have to fight anyone or anything… seems like it was a pretty decent idea… So, Why not sure, go and hug the Chu’s Ethel… But if you wanna keep em their One thou a pop.”[/color]
