Midna’s shadowhand struck true for the dozenth time, sending a pair of Session Pounds sailing to the side, where their battered forms crashed into the wall of the endless tunnel. One detonated on impact, and then set off the other in a chain reaction while Midna held up one of arms to block the blinding flash of the detonation, while the other clung tight to her wolfos’s coat.

A good thing she did so too, for just as soon as the floating bombs were dead her steed lunged to the side in a daring leap, chasing the camera’s path to avoid some incoming signage, an action that would have caused her to fall off had she not been holding onto it for dear life. 

[color=Aquamarine]”I really need to invest in stirrups”[/color] Midna muttered to herself as the leap came to an end, before squinting forwards through the lens of her mask and asking [color=Aquamarine]”Alright who’s talking to the hand next huh?”[/color] only for her question to be answered with no more flashing lights, as the constant drip feed of floating bombs came to an unexpected end.

[color=Aquamarine]”That’s what I thought”[/color] she declared haughty to the dead, before addressing the camera: [color=Aquamarine]”Out of disposable minions are you? Well to bad, because now I can give you my full attention”[/color] 

Her method of doing so was to raise up a hand, opening a portal out of which singing sand started to pour. It fell behind them at first, only to take flight as per her will, and go streaming forwards, the sound of it rushing through the air adding wordless singing to the pulsing beats of the music being played.

The stream of sand rushed forwards, and then wrapped around the camera, coarse grains starting to slowly but surely weather away at it. [color=Aquamarine]”Get sand tomb-ed! Your days are numbered now machines, because there’s no escaping this”[/color] the princess declared as the swirling sand started to bog the machine’s flight down and scratched its lens and paintwork.  Or that is what it would have done, had something not burst out of one of the voids behind her platform.

[color=Aquamarine]”Huh?”[/color] the princess went as she glanced back at the noise, only to get a face full of high beam headlights from the utter monstrosity that had risen from the depths.

[color=Aquamarine]”Gah! Why why why why all this light!?”[/color] the glare blinded princess demanded to know as she turned away again, hand covering her face, only to have her own sand to blast past her as the glare robbed her of the ability to control it, which resulted in more cursing and questioning [color=Aquamarine]”Son of a moblin, what in the goddess’s name is happening?!”[/color] 

It took her a few moments to recover, and when she had her first act was to yell [color=Aquamarine]”Alright that’s it you are going down, and I’m coming to do it myself!”[/color] at the camera. To do this she swapped out her wolfos for her vibrava, which she had grip her back so they could combine their flight. Yet when she pushed off the ground and activated her levitation the expected thrum of insectile wings did not meet her ears. 

No, instead she began to fall rapidly behind, and towards the lumbering light blasting monstrosity pursuing them.

[color=Aquamarine]”What are you doing?! Fly you fool!”[/color] Midna demanded, as she reached out and grabbed the platform she had just been on with her shadow hand, halting her own ‘fall’ jarringly enough that her spirit transformed beast lost grip of her back and fell back from her as well.

She glanced after it, squinting through the light, and saw the vague shape of the virava skill-lessly flapping wings that would not lift it as it tumbled haplessly through the air. Then it fell past the highbeams cone of light, and suddenly caught itself as the power of flight returned without warning. Wings beat, letting it narrowly dodge a punch swung by the car monster, only for it to re-enter the yellow glare and its flight to falter once again, sending it crashing down onto the hood of the vehicle.

Before a hand could grab and crush it, a twilight portal opened up under it, and it was sent home by the princess, who then reeled herself back to the platform. Feet struck the solid(ish) ground once again, only to slip due to her maglev mod reducing the friction her feet had with the surface. Normally she would have popped dragon claws on her toes to stop this, but bathed in the yellow glow these failed to materialize, and the princess had to be saved from slipping back off the platform via a re-summoning of her wolfos.

The beast caught her by her jacket, then tossed her onto its back, and then swiftly moved to leap out of the way of an incoming sign. As it did, the princess focused on her non pelt grabbing hand, trying to form dragon claws on it as well, a thing she managed only when that leap took her out of the range of the bayful glow of the half man half machine.

[color=Aquamarine]”But I can still use my magic so what is it? Can it be…?”[/color] she asked herself, and then had to come to a conclusion she really did not like, which was [color=Aquamarine]”Watch out, the thing behind us’s light suppresses spirit powers!”[/color] 

That left her with a fair few less options she realized, especially because the safety from the light she had landed in was temporary, as signs coming from in front and additional pursuing monstrosities would inevitably force her back into the glare.

Still unable to strike forwards without her attacks being disrupted, the princess instead tried to deal with their pursuers and to at least slow down their pursuers if she could not take them down. While her wolfos focused on what was coming from the front, the princess kept half lidded eyes focused back, while her shadow hand was raised above her, gathering power.

[color=Aquamarine]”Here, catch this you rejected chariot!”[/color] she called out as she finished charging her attack, before yelling [color=Aquamarine]”Twilight volley bomb!”[/color] as she hurled a massive turquoise runic covered magic orb at the proverbial feet of their pursuer. 

Had she tried to throw these forwards, odds were very high she would miss the floating camera, as her projectile was slow and had to hit the ground to detonate, with a not insurmountable risk that a poor judgment of her toss would see it clip a platform instead, which would have been disastrous. Backwards however, even into the blinding light, was easy. Momentum was with her and the crawling cars were too massive to miss, letting her nail them with the huge explosions with relative ease.

Whether that would actually do anything was by no means guaranteed, and if it did not she’d instead try the sand tomb trick again whenever she could get herself out of the light, but if she could, hurt them, break the lamps or even just force the monsters back with the blasts, that was what she’d focus on.
