[color=darkturquoise]"Urgh..."[/color] The shell growing over Angelite's arms started to crumble, pieces clinking to the ground and disappearing. A second later, at the touch of a gloved hand, she felt some of the strain leave her body. Her cuts and bruises vanished. Her stone armour strengthened.

[color=darkturquoise]"Thanks, Yurei."[/color] As much as Tama hated making excess work for Alara or anyone else, everyone had to give this fight their all. She curled a wing around herself, the gem shards closing into a solid wall and blocking a tendril, then drove a point-covered fist into the mass of slime. Whirling to face the advancing horde, she spread her wings wide, the gems separating and floating once more, connected by thrumming energy streams. The threads brightened, sharp fragment shapes forming from the glow, which Angelite sent hurtling at the Nightmares with one sweep.

It wasn't enough. For each monster defeated, another would take its place.

[color=darkturquoise]"Great..."[/color] Tama muttered as the magical crystals faded, a fresh wave of Nightmares crawling over the ground where they'd been. [color=darkturquoise]"Yet another game of supernatural Whack-A-Mole."[/color]

Sensing a familiar presence, she raised her head to see Gaia making good use of her new battle skills. As the green-haired girl settled on the ground and swung an ornate floral blade at a Nightmare, Tama's dour expression turned into a fraction of a smile.

[color=darkturquoise]"We would have,"[/color] she replied to Yui's comment, [color=darkturquoise]"but waiting isn't exactly their strong point. Not any more. So we had to turn up early too."[/color] She gestured at the nearing creatures, then nodded. [color=darkturquoise]"Together."[/color]

As she spoke, an idea came to her. [color=darkturquoise]"Gaia!"[/color] Shifting her stance to a suitable angle, she crossed her wings, a shimmering, diamond-faceted barrier appearing. [color=darkturquoise]"Hit the shield with a flower bomb!"[/color]

If this worked, she could reflect the energy at not just one Nightmare, but many.
