However, the jet of water shot by Andriem increases the force at which he leaps, and he slamed against the wall. It took a couple seconds for him to recover from the shock of the impact, as well as the confusion of being suddenly soaked. The water also caused his invisibility to be slightly less helpful, as one would notice water droplets appearing and falling to the ground wherever he stood if they were to pay attention. Once he steadied himself and cleared his head, he flipped his coin with the terms of Heads: the tiger becomes very sleepy, Tails: he becomes very sleepy. While it wouln't necessarily mean either would fall asleep, it would definitely impact their ability to fight. Unfortunately, the result of the coin flip was tails. Cyan found himself beginning to feel very drowsy, as if it were what should've been the end of a very long and abnormally eventful day. As his muscles forced themselves into relaxation so did his sense of urgency to some extent. Despite the tiger being a mere few yards away, he no longer felt as threatened by it as he had before. He was invisible, and he knew the other students could handle it completely fine on their own. He wasn't nearly stupid enough to consider himself out of danger, however. Because of his now sluggish movements and thoughts, the boy decided it best to get further out of the way and allow the rest of the group full rein of the battlefield. After moving slowly along the wall, Cyan made a short dash to underneath the staircase and ducked down, then peeked back around to watch the fight. Even if he was in no shape to be involved directly, he didn't want to not do [i]anything[/i]. He could at least watch and use his coin in case of an emergency and one of them got hurt. [hr] Kath dashed away, just in time to avoid the water stream shot by Andreim towards the tiger. She peeked back, furious that he would endanger her in combat. She saw Cyan leap away and into a wall as a result of this brash decision, but she had to admit that it somehow worked. The tiger was slowed down, and now they had the perfect chance to act. Kath caught Andreim's eyes, and she saw the boy was looking at her. Did he expect her to use her powers? She shook her head, not sure what to do. If she used her powers, then she'd be liable to do something stupid. She isn't in full control of her powers yet. But if she didn't transform, she'd be partly useless. She grit her teeth together and made up her mind. She'd enable her fire to consume her mortal vessel, and then hope to quickly move on after that. She closed her eyes, and felt a soothing warmth engulf her body. When Kath opened her eyes again, her body began to glow in a yellow hue, exponentially getting brighter and brighter by the second. Her skin lost its tone completely, replaced by a strong yellow light, and her facial features started to be overtaken by the glow of her skin. Still, her mind was calm. She hadn't much time however before she'd begin to be more and more enthralled by the consuming fire inside and the heat of the battle. In an otherworldly quickness, fueled by her ability, she placed her hands together, and released a ray of concentrated heat through the water and at the Tiger. Kath felt the heat part from her body through her palms, and as the ray passed through the water it quickly turned it into scorching hot steam that was now propelled into the face of the tiger. [hr] Samoth witnessed the Tiger charge at his friends. He wasn't quite close enough to pose a physical threat, but he couldn't stand by and watch. But his fellow students knew their way in a engagement, luckily. He heard Liselotte call two of her shadow servants into existence, putting some defense between herself and the tiger. He saw Andreim summon a stream of water, launching is across the Tiger's path and, in the meanwhile, throwing Cyan against a wall; away from the rest of the group and, more importantly, the beast. Even though the boy was invisible, Samoth's observant gaze saw the water dripping from his small form. It helped that he could sense the fox-boy's mind as well. Katherine thought quickly, summoning her inner flame and releasing a powerful beam of heat at the demonic beast. Samoth could feel the heat from where he was standing, mostly further away than the group. [i]'Landing as many attacks as possible would be vital to a quick defeat of this beast,'[/i] he thought. He focused his consciousness on the Tiger. In his mind he could feel a telekinetic mass build up around the creature, forming a cage. One side, from which his peer's attacks where coming from, was left open. This would leave the beast wide open to an attack, and prevent any movement besides into the attack. As he did so he closed some of the distance between himself and the beast, coming to the frontline of the group. [hr] The tiger ran forward, claws tearing at the floor, demonic teeth glistening with hunger. It's only though was the rush forward, dive into the middle of this lot and kill, kill, kill. The water was in the way, but that was no matter to it. It readied its powerful legs to leap above such a paltry obstacle and crash down among the huddled mob of its prey. It wasn't expecting the boiling hot steam that caught it full in the face, blistering its eyeballs on impact and causing it to let out an agony filled roar that shook the light fixtures of the room. It pulled off its charge, running to the side, but found itself slamming into something solid. He ran the other way and slammed itself again. It roared and thrashed inside its psychic cage, desperately lashing out with claws and bursts of electricity as steam continued filling it. [hr] Lise studied the actions of her teammates, looking for an opening. She hadn't really watched them fight ever, so this was definitely new. If anything, she was surprised everyone managed to spring into action so quickly. That being said, the current steam blast didn't seem to give much of an opening for her servants to attack. However, she knew that attacking from unexpected angles may be the best way to subdue the giant hellcat. With a silent command, she waved her servants into action. The shadow butlers' almost hazy forms jumped upward, defying gravity by landing on the ceiling and readying to slam down onto the cat once the brunt of the steam attack had finished. She intended for them to hold down the cat for a lethal strike, if their initial attack wasn't enough. [hr] Cassius found it difficult to utilize his powers with the nature of the fight. A small corridor staircase with a tiger doesn't bode well with his AOE centric powers, also the fact that explosions have to originate from himself meant he had to stay closer to avoid hitting his fellow students. His hair stood on edge at the distance he stood close to the tiger, he made a mental note that being in melee range of it was likely not a good idea due to the electrical aura it exuded. He found a small angle that allowed him to attack without affecting his teammates. He stood close enough to not let the line of explosions stretch long enough, he also tried to limit the explosion range to hit just the monster. If necessary he could slam down from the roof and use a melee attack. [hr] Even thought hot jets of water and steam were hitting the beast, it seemed to have no intention on stopping its assault. Kath wondered where some beast like this could come from, and thought she didn't know the answer, she guessed that whoever was behind the disappearances was also behind this beast. She saw Samoth run up and use his powers, just in time as she felt her body cooling down. She closed her palms, the beam of heat dissipated, and she readied herself into a fighting stance. She took a few steps to the side, and glanced over to Andreim. "Hey aquaman, can you close the hydrant for a sec?" Though the water was helpful for defending, she had only barely accumulated heat when she began using her powers and she felt sluggish enough to know that she wasn't going to be useful for such an attack. If she wanted to get things done, she'd have to get up-close and personal with that tiger. She felt waves of heat emanate from her body as she regained her power. It seemed much harder to wait with every passing moment, her sight focusing on the beast, and her fist clasping even harder to prepare for the whopping she was about to give when she gets close. [hr] Seeing that his team was seemingly well prepared for the engagement, Samoth ceased his focus on the cage. Cyan was seemingly out of harms reach, as the psychic could feel his mind some yards off from the area in which they were engaging. Samoth was quite attuned to the presence of the fox boy's consciousness, as he was one of the few people he would actually prefer to talk to, so sensing him through all the muddle was easy. Liselotte had her shadows set up in a fashion that could defend both her and Andreim, as well as Katherine if she chose to back up if things got too hot. Choosing a new target for his focus, Samoth sent a bolt of pyschic energy at the beast's back legs as he himself moved forward. As he approached, he produced a psychic glaive, with which he lunged at the Tiger's front set of legs. Immobilizing this beast seemed like a smart option. Something that that couldn't move, couldn't attack. Usually. [hr] The assault of steam and heat ceased, giving the tiger a chance to catch its breath. It was blind, yes, but its other senses were keen. It knew now that it was dangerous to break through the stream of water it could still hear flowing to its side. It could feel that whatever cage had contained it had dissipated. It could smell everyone in the room. Three in front of it, past the accursed water. Two to the right. One, enticing smell off to its left. That one. It should kill that one. It had been horribly scalded and the situation was terrible. At any time it could just be caged again. It could not see. But if it could get one, if it could get just one for its master, it would be content. The tiger turned its face toward Cassius and started its charge. It was the last mistake the creature would make. It had barely started running when it heard Samoth dash up behind it while its back was turned. It tried to lash out with its back legs, anticipating some attack, but instead felt shocking pain shoot up its nerves. For a brief moment it had a premonition that its legs had been cut off. It didn't have time to correct that thinking as it felt a pair of impacts from above, two things slamming into it like meteorites. It hadn't been able to scene them, of course. Liselotte's butlers were shadows. They had no small, they made no sound, and they carried out their duties with elegant precision. The steam had stopped and so they attacked from their ceiling perch, just as their lady had commanded. It's back legs paralyzed, its front held in place by Liselotte's servants, it could do nothing but thrash weakly in their grip. [hr] Cassius' eyes squinted at the tiger's movement, it was slowing down and weakening from the repeated barrage of the school's strongest. Each movement became more sluggish and predictable compared to when it started. It was to be expected, even if it did take longer than predicted. He normally didn't like taking centerstage like this, but he was certain this beast wasn't native to this house, and it reminded him of a certain individual from another school, as such they had to be done with this soon to have any hopes of catching up. Bracing his legs he jumped high right above the tiger, and with a deft turning of his hips his legs planted firmly on the roof of the floor with such speed that he hung there for a few seconds. With another burst of explosives at his feet, he reared his right leg in a downwards ax kick towards the towering hellbeast. A large explosion came erased the tiger and him from the view of the others, the very force of the kick gave life to the creaky, decrepit building. Out of the explosion's gray smoke came an ashen Cassius whom coughed once and patting his now tattered school pants, "Well, shall we? [hr] [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=236UImGx1q0[/url]
