Zuri noticed that Travis was annoyed at her incompetence. She takes cover behind one of the containers when she was instructed to as Travis casted some sort of spell that had a large area of effect. As she took cover, she noticed a grenade that bounced towards her. Everything happened so quickly, but it felt like time was a bit slower when it all unfolded. A shuriken flew towards the grenade, most likely to re-direct it somewhere else. Zuri's eyes stared at the grenade as it flew towards her, but quickly snaps out of it and tries to do something, cast a spell of her own to survive the explosion. Without a second thought, she temporarily turns into a living shadow that was completely pitch black, a visible aura of the corrupted black surrounded her. The shape of her current state was exactly the same, however you could not recognize her due to the lack of facial details, since it was only a silhouette of Zuri. It was only for a short period of time, but it felt like her magical powers were somewhat amplified. She could feel it within herself. This lead to a burst of confidence deep within her heart as she looks over at Roy, who was rushing straight towards Travis from behind after that attack that didn't work out. "This won't hurt a bit.." Zuri says, looking at Travis, her voice deeper than usual in this form of hers. She charges up her right hand with energy and makes a claw grip, similar to how people do slam dunks, she swings her body from right to left, releasing four swipes of dark energy towards Travis and Roy. It looked really intimidating, but it was nothing but an illusion, similar to how shadows work. However, the sheer force of her arm when she took the swing was quite large, and since she wasn't that far away from Travis, it should be enough to blow away that mysterious dust that was thrown at him.
