There was a squadron of valkyries bombing them. In their particular faction, Lea clicked her tongue and clapped her hands together, creating a flow of wind to divert the snowballs from hitting her, and beside her Esther raised a couple branches to cover her body from the snowballs. In reply, Lea sent a surge of wind through the snow next to her to send up at the airborne forces, intent on swallowing them up in snow and wind. That probably would be dodged, but still. In the back was Olivia, who at the sight of the airborne assault screamed and ducked, her spirits crouching over her and taking many a snowball while trying to cover for their commander. The army of Victorias were far too engaged in engaging the Pennys, having a ton of fun engaging in this physical altercation of metal and ice dancing and throwing snowballs at one another, so when the Sanns descended she was caught unprepared and a bunch of Victorias were blown over by their attack. Still, they’d definitely be trying to throw a couple back, too. Mayra was still intent on engaging Penny and MDP, even if the lack of posts would suggest otherwise. The dragon-girl wasn’t entirely able to dodge past the snow, but it didn’t bother her at all and she threw a bunch of snowballs back up at them! Jelena was somewhere in there, too. Meanwhile, in the fort of Josefin and Taihei, Josefin dodged down in their igloo at the sight of the squadron, but Taihei completely missed them. She raised a hand to counter them with a gravity-blast, but something was off with the dimension’s connection with the gravity-flux of a thirty-fifth planet of a distant galaxy’s center star so the gravity-flux failed and Taihei got a facefull of snow from the descending Valkyries. Just because. Then there was suddenly a satellite floating above them, that discharged a flood of water. That’s about when Lea had enough. She grabbed Olivia and blasted off into the sky with Olivia crying out in alarm, Esther following after on a tree she just grew that was rooted in the ground beneath, avoiding the water, albeit perhaps she overreacted since most was focused on that fort. The Victorias blinked in surprise and jumped to dodge the water, quickly freezing some small icy platforms in the ankle-high water, looking in confusion at the sudden watery surroundings. Mayra looked at the water and grinned determined to evaporate all the water before it got to her, but Jelena grabbed around her and they jumped, floating up in the air by Jelena’s metal-magic on herself making them float, before they landed again on one of the Victoria’s icy platforms. Josefin and Taihei, meanwhile… just happened to have dug their fort downstreams from Penny’s fort, on a lower altitude, in a pit that was about to have all the excess water from the satellite attack violently fill it up and create a lake within which they’d be in the bottom. [color=fcedae]‘Water…! C’mon, Taihei, up a tree…!’[/color] Josefin said in alarm, jumping and trying to grab Taihei’s arm to help her up… but Taihei realized they had no time for that. Besides, she was an aquatic monster-girl, this should be fine. She used her gravity-magic, coincidentally working again, and flung a surprised Josefin up the tree. [color=fcedae]‘Wait, TAIHEI!’[/color] Josefin cried out after her, but Taihei wasn’t bothered. She proudly turned and faced the wave… She didn’t even budge. Like a rock, the water just bounced off her before engulfing her, and Taihei was utterly unbothered as she was swallowed by the water. It wasn’t nearly enough power to do any damage to the most sturdy of all Asengav’s girls. She’d just let this water flow over her, and then she’d swim up to the surface, and- Taihei suddenly coughed, water going down her mouth. Her eyes widened. She… couldn’t breathe? Her hand went to… Ah. There were no gills. Her Christmas transformation had removed her gills. What the f- She coughed underwater, bubbles leaving her throat, her abysmal agility and heavy weight unable to escape the water. Oh, so this is how she, an aquatic monster-girl, died. By drowning. How very, very unlucky… She bent her knees, closed her eyes, prepared to vanish all of a sudden… Except then a magic bubble showed up around her because Christmas magic wouldn’t let her die in Dan’s dimension. It carried her up to the top of the tree Josefin was standing on, from which Taihei dropped down in fetal position. [color=fcedae]‘Taihei! A-are you okay!?’[/color] Josefin asked, very worried. [color=4e5478]‘Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh…’[/color] Taihei mumbled in misery, but hey, she wasn’t dead. [color=c1eb9b]‘… I think that’s enough excitement on my part,’[/color] Lea muttered, carrying Olivia in her arms and with Esther floating next to her on a couple trees. [color=D6AD7F]‘M-me too…’[/color] Olivia breathed out in panic, and with that, Lea took off with her and they went off from the battlefield, Esther following by periodically shooting trees and using them as stilts to follow after Lea at a modestly quick pace for a not-very-agile girl. [color=fc6828]‘That thing’s AWESOME! Where did you get one of those…!?’[/color] Mayra cried out, eyes positively shining pointing out where the satellite was. [color=a699ad]‘… That aside, I think we’re done fighting for now. Thank you for the gift, Mayra, hah,’[/color] Jelena said, chuckling a little. Mayra just grinned at her. [color=9c87c9]‘Thanks for fighting me, you’re pretty fun,’[/color] Victoria said to Penny, her various copies waving to her copies. [hr] [color=077ae6]‘… The Wacky Downhill Race?’[/color] Mariette quietly repeated, having been listening to the dolphin just because through an idle portal. It sounded… fun.
