I should consider sleeping on more of my posts, especially late night. They turn out a lot better.

Trinity Stratos

To weather the attack, Trinity had to fracture her shield into parts, and cycle the different parts out to keep them from overloading. She held one part still, draining it with a touch of the Make on her hand. She didn't really have a good way to run away (other than just fly away, but that seemed like a hazard course), so she'd have to see what Penny or Nolan came up with.

And then things outside her shells began to change. The tempest supporting the fortress stopped... Time to move.

Before she could do anything new, like retreat, Penny's flames enveloped them and absorbed the Mundane Spark she had been too busy to notice, herself. Penny flew away from them, but Trinity knew better than to try and chase her down in the middle of all this. It was time to go! Nolan was already on top of it, and he teleported them away, out of the air. She stumbled and her turbines turned off, not expecting the solid ground, though it was shoddy footing with all the chaos. Nolan and Penny had cleaned up, somehow.

Trinity took the moment to damage assess and mold her gloves. She had to cycle a lot of her shell, leaving her with three circles. Her left glove became a buckler/armblade, and the other an armcannon. As the pseudo-material grew and changed, the brightness it had gained previously faded. She shrunk her wings to be just the turbines, attached to her via harness. "We're to get in the Tower, then? Didn't it have a doorway?" She finished her modifications and gave them a quick once over before nodding. "Alright, well, let's not keep him waiting." She started at a run, but soon began gliding on her Make boots, with the three orbiting remnants of her Spiked Shell.

Guess I'll have to read that again.

We're not out of the woods yet. And I thought the blades were acting as an arena barrier? Not an active threat but more of a boundary threat.

Womp. xD Sorry, bro.

"Whoa." That. was. a fortress, alright. "Don't suppose you accounted for that, Damien?" Tornado supporting the beast into the air. Imposing, red-gemmed exterior walls. Amazing. It gave her a bit of a spoop, but she had to stand firm. She'd been chosen to represent her guild. She'd have to live up to the expectation.

But just what were the expectations? "Or that. Nolan!" Trinity called after him, with Penny, before the fire mage took off after the smoke user. "And we're off! Sorry, Damien. Energy Make, Flight Gear!" Glowing boots and gloves wrapped her feet and hands, and a pair of rigid wings with some kind of turbine on them sprouted from her back. She took a power crouch before bolting into the air, the turbines bursting to life and carrying her away.

And they charged straight into the enemy's field, it seemed. Trinity couldn't fly as fast as Penny, but she wasn't too far behind. "Energy Make, Spiked Shell!" She caught up in time and put up a defensive barrier between them and the oncoming assault. As the rocks impacted her shield and became lava coating it, she spun the barrier, flinging the super-heated material away.

A searing laser joined the assault. The minstrel had dealt with a fire user recently, but lava and lasers were a little different. The lava was earth, super-heated to a molten state. It was more difficult for her to deal with because it was based on solid matter, not something less physical. The laser was a concentrated energy attack. That, she could handle, but this would overpower her and break through if she wasn't careful. Where the laser struck was left glowing more brightly, as though heated.

"Oooh, jeez. Hurry up and do somethin', will ya? This is tough."

The young lady rolled her eyes. "Life's more fun without the stick, y'know." She shook her head, turning and smiling at Penny. "I'll have to write a song. ...?" She saw the frown on her guildmate's face and gazed at her thoughtfully. Slowly, she lifted a hand and then pinched her cheek. "What's the long face? C'mon, now." She would drop her hand and offer a smile, before turning her attention back to Damian.

"Oh, me? I'm the key to your strategy? Ah, do tell."

Oh yes, the mentioning.

"I've got mine." She pulled the small crystal out of a pocket to show before depositing it again. Before she could say more, Damian began. She didn't think the idea was to split up, but she couldn't disagree with him, either. And yet, "just because we don't intend to split up doesn't mean we won't get separated. It's a good thing to check for."

As she listened to Damian continue, it got her thinking. She turned to Penny, smiling softly. "Hmm. Offense, and Defense? Penny, maybe we should start teaming up?" She gave the woman a smile, before she lifted her hand toward the shining, blazing golden emblem. Enough theatrics, then. She shot it with a finger gun and the emblem explodes prettily into sparkles, which then get sucked into her outstretched hand. A golden orb formed, a brighter color than it was before. She would absorb it slowly, while they talk.

"Sounds like we all agree we should use the buddy system. Dibs Penny. It's a great chance to scope out our teamwork potential." She nodded matter-of-factly, before Making herself a low ledge to lean on with her elbow.
