[b]Saber[/b]

As soon as the dragon started moving, Saber pulled Excalibur back and backpedaled. It was clear the place she had chosen to attack was not one of the monster's weak points. The skeletal rider was now bearing the brunt of its aggression, and it was also preparing to attack the others... the beam that the dragon fired was certainly all too similar to the flames that had surrounded the rider's chains. Certainly, the blast felt far hotter then it otherwise would have, though Saber could not be certain given she didn't know what the creature's abilities were. Briefly spotting it melt a path into the ground, Saber burst into a run. Her goal was a simple one, she needed to stop the dragon attacking long enough for everyone to get out of there. The beam hissed along behind her as she kept sprinting, until she hit the wall!

And then ran up.

Saber sprinted clear up the rock wall, before twisting. The sheath of air she had used to disguise Excalibur previously seethed back into existence, flaring up and swirling around the blade, rising. It was not simply a tool to keep her sword hidden. Angling her body towards the obsidian wyvern, Saber swung Excalibur down! The blade ripped through the air as Invisible Air tore towards its target. It was a force, more then anything. If it did any real damage, that would be more of a bonus then the intent. Saber wanted to hit the creature in a way that would open a path for the others. Their safety was paramount.

Well, the ugly thing picked up on that pretty quickly. And it could get in the air! Stupid damn... lion dragon thing! Where the hell did it get off?! But it turned out Nonon didn't even have to try and blast it out of the air. A spike, from... somewhere had rocketed up and put a hole clear through its wing membranes. The other spike, a big chunk of ice by the look of things, didn't quite get through. Oh well, time to kill the stupid thing!

... And then... then it made this awful noise. It was this terrible piercing sound that, well, was anathema to everything Nonon stood for! Clapping her hands over her ears, the tiny pink-haired girl winced. "Jeez, it's ugly and it has terrible taste in music! Do we need any other reasons to kill it?!"

As if as an answer, it turned invisible and, well, Nonon could kind of track it by how it was bouncing off the trees, even if her ears were ringing as a result of that first attack. And then, as it lunged towards them, it turned visible again for just a moment as it attacked. This was long enough for Nonon to immediately shoot backwards and out of range of the whirling claws and tail. Stupid thing barely gave her time to get her bearings...!

... And now it was going for the redheaded girl that had been a guy.

"... Okay, that's it! You're gonna pay for dirtying the air with that awful noise!" Nonon snapped. The cannons on her shoulders ignited as she took aim at the falling creatures, and with a sound remarkably like Beethoven's Ode to Joy, a stream of hearts and musical notes erupted towards the creature. It couldn't dodge in mid-air!
