Mana rolled her eyes at generic, samurai themed hero number one million. Even her name was boring, and she was pretty sure had been used in the past by others. Swift Blade? Really? This girl was clearly one of the side kicks that had been talked about before. Mana knew exactly how to deal with sword users. This one was even demanding that she fight her. Mana was about to step around Kane, when useless new girl got in her way, saying something to Swift Blade in Russian.

Mana's chocolate colored eyes narrowed at useless new girl. The Dark Druid shouldered past useless new girl to stand between her and the side kick. She turned her head to useless new girl. [color=lightgray]"She's. Mine."[/color] She said slowly, emphasising each word with a point, the first at Swift Blade, the second at herself. Without another word, Mana turned back to Swift Blade. She lifted her arms and vines began to emerge from the ground in front of the side kick at a rapid pace.

If one who knew Mana well saw the vines, they would notice that they were slightly slower than usual. That's because they weren't her normal vines. They spiraled together to form a spear of vines, the end sharpened by thorns. But that wasn't even the special part. These vines were infused with fungal spores. When cut, like Swift Blade was bound to do eventually, they would release those toxic spores in her face. Those spores would coat her lungs, making breathing more difficult, and while they were more focused on getting her breathing back to normal, well she would die of kidney failure in a matter of hours. The best way to deal with sword users, was to use their own weapon against them.

With the side kick down, they would be able to focus all their efforts on the more dangerous heroes. Mana just had to hope that useless new girl would take the hint and turn her attention elsewhere and that Kane would do his job as meatshield. She wasn't worried about Kane, but if useless new girl got in her way, the heroes would be the least of her worries. Mana would kill new girl herself.
