Thus when the magical field sprang into existence fired off a simple flare of shock from his cane, it did nothing but sail far into the sky, for it was only step one for the moment. The next action he took was when the Vines erupted out from the ground, and he was acting even before the vines would discharge their payload. His Blue clad copy would rush forward and jab his cane into the ground as he took up a position in between Dorothy and the vine causing a blue bubble to expand out and surround the two of them in an attempt to block any possible assault form the thing, sadly he hadn’t been expecting a mental attack so wasn’t successful in protecting the Bunny girl. The Clone near Kimble also moved into a position to block any possible attacks and simply jumped in front of the grey goo and let himself be immobilized by it [color=fff79a]“Good to know”[/color] He would say aloud before it would poof into nonexistence no longer being of any use. The real Aurelio would be a mix of his two clone’s actions, as he would stab the green wall he had conjured with his can before swing it about himself, the shield turning into a large curtain as he did so. The curtain would split into two halves with each one wrapping about one of the vines that erupted near him. [color=fff79a]“And now for the reveal!”[/color] He would quip as the earth then disgorged the foes that had sought to trap them and once again his awareness paid dividends to help him process everything, and he had to give them credit for a plan well thought out. He wasn’t sure if it would work in the long run, but then again he tended not to bet against himself. Of with his colored clone, the blue hued variation was finding itself pushed mercilessly by the superior physical capabilities of his adversary, but at the same time said figure would be finding him to be annoying difficult to actually hit. As he never sought to strike back at her, only dodging or deflecting the incoming blows, and to make things worse a scattered mess of circular magic barriers capable of blocking her attacks were floating around him only adding to his defensive capability. [color=fff79a]“You know, attacking people like this isn’t very nice”[/color] He would go on to say as he continued to dance away from the attacks. [color=fff79a]“And if you wanted a White coin yvou’re going to have to get in line”[/color] He would add with a large grin as he spun the coin across his fingers having noticed the girls focus on the small magical relic. As he dodged another blow his cane would start glowing a deep blue. [color=fff79a]“I have to congratulate you for this plan”[/color] The real Aurelio would say as he maintained his readied position but didn’t move towards the one who was obviously marking him more watching his clone defend itself from the third attacker. [color=fff79a]“Good coverage from the outside, likely mind tampered bait, and even effective team work.”[/color] His smile however was blatantly mischievous, as he seemed utterly unaffected by being caught out so effectively. [color=fff79a]“It would likely have worked against anyone else, but the thing is... I am the Great Aurelio!”[/color] As he called out his name he would pull his curtain of [color=00a651][b]Determination[/b][/color] over himself. At the same time his blue clad clone would flip the White Coin in to the air in front of him lightly just there was a flash of white light and in an instant the Blue was replaced with White as Aurelio just kept grinning. [color=fff79a]“Sorry to steal this dance but your last partner just lacked stamina ya’ know?”[/color] He would say cheerfully as he caught the coin his clone had flipped. At the same time as Aurelio re-positioned himself his curtain would dissolve revealing the blue clad clone in the middle of it firing off a pair of spells, both its own [color=2e3192][b]Compassion[/b][/color] and with the remnants of the [color=00a651][b]Determination[/b][/color], towards its original and Kimble. Speed, Strength and durability, all were due for a raise once the green and blue spells landed. [color=fff79a]“Never take your eyes of the magician”[/color] The Clone would say with soft smile, knowing it was likely to be taken apart by the metal shards the original was being watched with, which was fine by it, as he was more or less out of juice as it was. [hr] [color=fff79a]"Trouble with boss!"[/color] One of the numerous clones would say as they all felt the shock disperse in the air [b][/b]"Prep for Teleportation!"[b][/b] They would go on to say grabbing hold of the other beacon members as they started up the sequence to teleport all of them to the real Aurelio's position. The phone based clone would type out one last reply before pocketing the phone. [color=fff79a][quote=Aurelio]"When it rains it pours. Got caught up in something myself, I'll be there as soon as I can!"[/quote][/color]
