[center][h3][color=92278f]Queen Sectonia[/color][/h3] Level 5 Sectonia - (17/50) +2 The Desert Word Count: 765 [/center] Taking her suggestion to heart, the rest of the group started to think of plans on how to get up there. Sectonia had one, but waited for others to say theres to see if any of them had anything better; they didn't. Although the weird shadow creature girl had an interesting suggestion about using the shadow of someone to approach the beast. [color=92278f]"It seems a Queen must take charge here hm??"[/color] Sectonia said, bringing an end to everyone's meandering. Looking at the 'control spire' that the lightning came from, Sectonia waved her hands and attempted to conjure portals near the lightning spire to disable it or destroy it. But the creature was much larger than she anticipated and far out of range of her portal summoning, so she just looked like she was waving her hands for nothing. [color=92278f]"Hm... Plan B then."[/color] Sectonia said. She tested something before enacting this plan and did a quick blink, watching her shadow as that was what the strange twili girl needed, and noticed that she didn't cast one as she teleported. [color=92278f]"Your shadow plan seems to be folly. If a single lightning strike brought you out of the shadow you were hiding in, how could you manage to hide in the shadow of others while they dodged lightning strikes?"[/color] Sectonia said, pointing a huge flaw in Midna's plan. Out of everyone here, Sectonia was the best of the bunch from what she knew to handle the lightning strikes and disable this mechanism so the others could approach. Then a thought occurred to her, what would be inside this thing? This irritated her a bit, as she now had to plan to carry another person with her. She only needed 1 hand to manipulate lighting using her staff, so this wasn't a useless plan, but she couldn't blink while carrying others with her. She sighed before saying. [color=92278f]"Alright. Midna, if you want to ride in my shadow, you may. But if you can't keep up, I wont be able to save you."[/color] Sectonia said, addressing the imp before turning to the others. [color=92278f]"As for you all. I can take one more up there with me. Who would like to volunteer?"[/color] As she said this, she summoned her staff that she channeled her lightning magic through. With the plan all set, Sectonia got to work. Grabbing the first volunteer with her free hand, she got to work. Keeping herself out of the range of the camel, Sectonia flew around it until it was walking towards her, instead of her chasing it. With this, she began her flight, flying towards the Divine Beast. Her flying speed was pretty great, and it wouldn't take too much for her to force her way into the beast herself. Still, it would get a chance at hitting her with a lightning strike which the queen prepared for. As the air swelled with electricity, crackling and squeaking as the marker appeared over Sectonia and the charge built, she readied herself. When the charge was almost fully charged and about to strike, Sectonia began channeling her Lightning magic above her head, giving the lightning strike an alternate current to travel through that would divert it far away from herself, her shadow, and the ones below. This had the desired effect, as the lightning bolt came in, it rode her dark lightning, diverting the blast into the desert where it struck the ground harmlessly. [color=92278f]"Hmph, still no match for my magic."[/color] Sectonia boasted as she continued her flight towards the beast, the charging sequence seeming to take some time before it could beginn again. However, thanks to Setonia's planning and flying ability, before the charge could complete Sectonia was already at her destination. While she would've liked to fly directly into the lightning tower control rooms, those windows weren't big enough for her so she instead had to aim for the lower windows on the camel's sides that were quite large. Inside the camel was a lot more spacious than Sectonia was expecting. It was more of a giant cylinder than anything inside here, with various platforms around and what looked like to be energy pipes along some of the walls. Descending to the nearest landing point, she set down her passengers. [color=92278f]"Now we need to disable those lightning bolts. Not sure if whoever is shooting them will fall for the same trick twice."[/color] the Queen said. Hopefully the others could come up with a plan, or their team could disable the lightning tower so the others could board this machine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [center][h3][color=0072bc]Blazermate[/color][/h3] Level 8 Blazermate - (9/80) +1 Dead Zone Words: Less than 750 [/center] Blazermate wasn't the best driver at all, and it was clearly shown to her commrades as before the vehicle started to gain speed by going downhill, Jak ran next to the vehicle and demanded that he take the wheel from Blazermate, which she agreed with as she moved out of the way before Jak almost shoved her off the control. Her hands and attention freed thanks to Jak and his far, far superior driving, Blazermate exited the vehicle and flew above it, watching Bowser leap the gap with his cat form as she flew above it herself. Jak, being a much, MUCH better driver than Blazermate, managed to make the jump thanks to the greater speed offered by both his expertise and the hill the shockdozer was traveling down. [color=0072bc]"What is THAT?"[/color] Blazermate said, hovering down to land on Bowser as she pointed at the floating Flood monster that was raining explosives from the sky. From Blazermate's position there wasn't much she could do, but the flood was more interested in the Shodckdozer, which thanks to Jak, was being handled much better and could dodge most of its explosive mines. [color=0072bc]"C'mon big guy, we gotta keep up!"[/color] She said, urging Bowser forward as she called on Zombies to clear the way for the shockdozer by running into those explosive sacs far ahead of the shockdozer.
