[hr][hr][/center]	April still hadn’t had a chance to catch her breath, even as things began to swing in Excelsior’s favor. Sabine was out, but so were two of the Hex Girls. Had her brain not felt so scrambled, she might have let out a cheer - or even just had a small moment to feel relieved. But the punches never stopped. A shield was tossed at her, narrowly missing, and she couldn’t even process what had happened before Ava was in range again, throwing literal punches at her. She should have thrown up water to protect herself, but she couldn’t do it - it was like her energy had been drained, her focus rattled. All she wanted to do was go back home ([i]where even was home anywhere? Certainly not in DC…[/i]) and sleep. 

	Percy saved her once again - Ava’s hands didn’t hit. 

	But Thuy’s flames did. 

	She’d blocked flames a thousand times, and muscle memory kicked in, as she threw her hands up, expecting a sphere of water to form around her, a shield to keep the hellfire from licking her flesh. But there was nothing there to protect her, nothing besides air. 

	April didn’t avert her gaze as the blast hit her. 

	She couldn’t stifle a scream, though - from the intense pain, as the hellish flames engulfed her. 

	And then, then there was nothing but darkness. 

[hider=April Round 4 to 5 Stats]April: [list][*]Health: -12
[*]Focus: -2
[*]Karma: 0
[*]Notes - [list][*]Percy uses his reaction to cast Blink Together, bringing April out of melee range for Ava’s attack. This costs 10 focus, so Percy’s focus is down to 20. 
[*]Percy teleporting himself and April triggers Thuy’s held action, elemental blast (Hellfire). Thuy rolls 5 3 2 with Edge, but I spent April’s last Karma to cancel out the edge. This is then 5 3 2 + 5 (Ego) = 15 vs April’s ego defense of 13, so it hits. The damage is then 3 x 3 + 5 + 4 (Focus) = 18 points of damage. 
[*]This drops April’s health below 0 and she is out of the competition.
