She had made a horrible mistake in entering the anti-gravity field. A mindless eruption of asphalt spikes ripped apart the ground beneath the unlucky aberration. Several spears of earth brushed up against Allison, prevented from harming her only by the wishalloy that she had wisely applied earlier. If it wasn't for the strange material, Allison would have been skewered. Allison attempted to find purchase among the jagged spires, though she found herself being lifted and dropped by what remained of the gravity mage's power at complete random. Even without having sight of her, it was clear she was dying. Despite the sporadic gravity, Allison was able to reorient herself, and find the source of the spikes. The blonde girl had been injured by Siena, who had been tossed aside by the sudden storm of stone spears, and had surrounded herself with the things, forming a stone cage of sorts. There was a clear course of action for Allison Revel, and her hand itched to execute it. She wasn't too far from the stone cage, and a well placed cut could easily shut down the enemy subnatural. Before she made her move, though, Allison's conscience bled through her blood-lust. She felt awful for the two girls who stood against them, despite the fact that they had injured Allison's allies and destroyed what was likely once a very nice town. Maybe in a better life they wouldn't have had to fight, and none of them would have to die. Allison swallowed her thoughts, pushed off of a mass of stone, and summoned the shard. The brilliant blade stood at it's full length, a massive shard of broken glass that seemed to glow a deep purple, though gave off no light. Allison still didn't know how to feel about the thing. It was a blessing and a curse, and it reminded Allison of the worst parts of the last few years. At least she could rest in the fact that it could not kill. Yes, that was a job for other hands to be bloodied with. Allison was just the enabler. She only had to cut through stone, pass through flesh, and ignore what would come next. While she'd been keeping an eye out for spikes, Zoe definitely hadn't expected the sudden burst from the concrete. She felt something contact her stomach, or rather, the alloy covering it, and glanced down to see a spike straight through her target. Another in her arm, though she wasn't exactly sympathizing. As the field became erratic, her grip on the other aberration tightened, suddenly a case of hanging on for dear life. Once the movement finally slowed down, she glared down at her victim in anger. [color=palevioletred]"Last chance. Just stop fighting, and I don't have to kill you."[/color] There was something disappointing about all this, and the idea of hurting the girl didn't appeal as much as she'd hoped. It just wasn't as fun when it was completely one-sided; Even David had been stubborn enough to provoke her. But this? This was pathetic. The spike-user was a much more immediate threat. Through the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Allison, apparently on her way to take care of the same thing-- But Zoe was keenly aware that the other girl's powers weren't about to kill anyone while she put herself at risk. Close enough not to bother with the radio, she called out to her teammate. [color=palevioletred]"Allison, how long can you keep that thing up for?"[/color] The shard hit. Allison's breath left her all at once, and it felt as if she had just been hit by a truck. That was the price to pay for stopping someone's power, especially one as out of control as this. Allison came to an awkward stop, fighting the half-gravity. She kept the shard in the enemy as best she could, a shaky arm, unreliable ground, and floating making that relatively difficult. Thankfully, though, it seemed that Allison's effort was worth it, as the spires of stone had begun to recede. [color=a187be]"I've got about 40 seconds left."[/color] Allison responded to the nearby voice, her words split between heavy breaths. Not long enough to waste time. The spike user would probably be pissed once the effect ended, which settled things for Zoe. Couldn't stand around and do nothing if it risked Allison's life as well. [color=palevioletred]"Transmit. Field's going down, so try not to stand anywhere too dangerous. Over."[/color] With that, Zoe drove her hand into the throat of the girl underneath her, almost instantly decapitating her. She was trying to ignore just how much blood she was covered in, but at this point it felt like a lost cause. Wasn't sure if it made her feel better or worse that almost none of it was hers. As the gaps in the cocoon continued to widen, she ripped a hand from the newly-dead corpse and threw it towards the spike girl. Watching it fly through the air, even Zoe had to admit the tactic was more than a little fucked up, but if it made contact, she could affect the girl through it. Wouldn't take her long to destroy their final remaining enemy if it worked. What remained of the gravity field disappeared completely when the source's head came off, and everyone still within dropped heavily onto the spikes. Long black hair and half of a black X remained on the skewered body of the gravity manipulator while her head tumbled unceremoniously against the spikes as it fell, finally landing under a loose netting near the bottom and slowly buried as the tips of the spikes began crumbling. Allison's blade had cut off the power projecting the material into the warped shapes, and everything cracked and groaned ominously. The dismembered hand bounced against the edge of the spike cocoon's opening, dangerously close to missing. By dumb luck, it slipped inside, dropping against the blonde's arm as she pawed uselessly at the strangely intangible blade piercing her left leg. Zoe breathed a sigh of relief as the hand made contact before quickly focusing her power on the girl. There wasn't time to experiment or try to do anything more efficiently, so Zoe just stuck with what worked. The spike-maker's brain broke down within seconds, leaving her to the same fate as her gargoyle companion before Allison's power wore off. Dead before she had a chance to do anything about it. [hider=notes] Gravity manipulator and spike maker are both dead. [/hider]
