Sceldrant's Comet, page 8
*Ridley quickly threw the black sword into the air and focused, watching smoke-like aura envelop the beam.*
Ridley: "Forceful sounds, radiate the ground, as deep as abyss, DARK STYX"
Victoria: *She watched the beam warp.* (Thank the Astragons, Cortax. A direct hit!-)
Ridley: *He swayed his arm, causing the warped beam to bend around him.* "Hahaha, the folly!"
Cortax: "How-?" *He lowered his arms, staring at the beam in shock.* (I've cancelled the Remenistal, but the beam is still active?)
Ridley: "Now!" *He pushed both hands in Victoria's general direction, causing the beam to blast towards her.*
Cortax: (He's somehow manipulating the beam?!) "Victoria!-"
Victoria: *She quickly formed a square with her hands and slapped them together, causing a white glyph to materialise underneath her.* "Neurons draw, Astragons repel, MYSTIC SHIELD"
*A bubble-like shield swirled around Victoria and suddenly solidified into glass, humming a bright silver light.*
Ridley: *He watched crimson flames with black shadowing hit the shield, causing the surrounding area to light up.* "Impressive."
Cortax: "Ougi." *He tightened his hands and closed his eyes, causing a bright purple glyph to materialise around him.*
Ridley: "Haha-"
Victoria: "I'll top off that already powerful Ougi of yours! Sacred dance, Neurons Up, sacred dance, Astragons Up." *She jumped up and enthusiastically tapped both feet on the ground, causing a white and purple glyph to glow underneath Cortax.*
Ridley: *He glanced between Cortax and Victoria.* (It's hard to focus on just one target-)
Cortax: "Words don't silence me, allow my power to be expressed through these movements you can't even comprehend, mystic arts shine by my emotions, come forth and show me your beauty-" *He spoke with an echoing voice, watching a small dark purple glyph spiral around him.*
Ridley: "You think I'd stand here and allow you to continue your Ougi's incantation?!" *He sprinted towards Cortax at incredible speeds, watching two black swords puff into his hands.* "ROTTING SWORD"
Victoria: (He's fast! Cortax won't have enough time!-) "Power of the forbidden spirits, come to my command, with seraphic powers, TELEPORTATION"
*Victoria swayed her arms around Ridley, causing him to disappear in a flash of purple light.*
Ridley: *He opened his eyes in disorientation and noticed he was high in the sky, causing him to grunt with widening eyes.* "She teleported me-"
*Ridley spoke on his breath and looked down, staring at the courtyard where he stood.*
Ridley: (Clever girl-) *He started to fall and took a deep breath, readying himself for a harsh landing.*
Victoria: *She looked directly up, staring at Ridley in a worried-like manner.* (With someone of such power, I could only forcefully transfer him in the same spot, but up in the air-)
Cortax: *The glyph around him glowed brighter, causing purple flower-like petals to erupt around him.* "Now!"
*Hundreds of petals swirled high into the air, causing insect-like brushing sounds to echo across the courtyard.*
Victoria: *She watched the hundreds of flower petals swirl in streams, causing her to smile.* (Besides our Hi-Ougi, Aubergine Blossom is one of the most beautiful Ougis I've ever seen-)
Cortax: "AUBERGINE BLOSSOM" *He spoke with an echoing voice and raised his arms, controlling the fluid moving strings of flower petals.*
Victoria: "It's over for you, Consultant."
Ridley: "Impudent, child!" *He ignored the beautiful appearing flower petals and focused his attention on to Victoria, suddenly throwing the black swords towards her.*
Cortax: "Nyah!" *He waved his arms towards Ridley, causing the strings of flower petals to violently swirl towards him.*
Ridley: "I'll merely counteract those flowers for you-"
Victoria: *She purposely faced the swords and spun around, causing an oval, reflective-like ripple to pulse in front of her.* "MOONLIGHT REFLECTION"
*Victoria shouted in determination and pushed forward, repelling the black swords back at Ridley.*
Ridley: "Excuse me-?" *Before he touched the ground the swords pierced past his shoulders, ripping the material of his shirt.*
Victoria: "Heh."
Ridley: *He quickly flashstepped backwards, watching three streams of flower petals jab into the ground where he stood, exploding the concrete.* "Impressive-"
Cortax: *He swayed his arms, frowning in concentration.* "Harh!"
Ridley: "Tssk." *He frowned and jumped high into the air, watching two streams of flower petals to shoot from behind where he stood.*
Cortax: (Almost got you cornered-) *He smiled, watching five streams of flower petals stream up towards Ridley from every corner.*
Ridley: "Tssk-" *He suddenly puffed into black smoke and appeared on the ground, noticing the entire area light up.* "What-?" *He looked up, noticing the bright purple explosion in the air.*
Victoria: *She gasped at Ridley's shocked reaction.* (I see a combination!-) "Neurons draw, Astragons repel, UNPROFOUND BIND" *She spread her fingers and clawed the air around Ridley, causing five transparent poles to suddenly jab into his neck.*
Ridley: "Kah-?! Y-You kink tis kan stohp me?" *He spoke with a struggle, trying to remove the poles around his neck.*
Victoria: "They aren't there to bind you, but-"
Ridley: *He violently grabbed the poles and shattered them, causing him to gasp for air.* "How dare-"
*Fluid-like strings of flower petals swirled around Ridley and instantly collided into each other, causing a violent explosion to pulse across the ground.*
Victoria: "But to keep you still." *She spoke with a smile.*
Ridley: *He jumped out of the violent swirl of purple petals, leaving a scattered trail behind him.* "How dare-" *He gritted his teeth in anger, noticing cuts all over his arms.*
Cortax: (No person has survived a direct attack from my Ougi!)
Ridley: (If our power wasn't on such a different level, we should've brought in all the captains-)
Cortax: *He swayed his arms up in a fluid-like manner, causing strings of flower petals to erupt up towards Ridley.* "You can't escape!"
Ridley: "Tssk! Swirling shadows flock, with the motion all will block, darkness strikes hearts with fear, NIGHT SPHERE" *A swirl of mist-like shadow whirled around him.*
Victoria: *She watched small bursts of flower petals hit the swirling shadow-like shield.* "It's another direct hit, but he seems to excel in both defensive and offensive Remenistal-"
Ridley: "Hah!" *He quickly spread his arms which caused the swirling shield to burst, scattering the petals around him.*
Cortax: *He stopped moving, causing all the flowers to lose their manipulated movement.* "Holy Neurons..."
Ridley: "And that's all of your Ougi.."
Cortax: *He lowered his arms, watching several of the flower petals disintegrate into nothing.* "..."
Ridley: "I believe it's time we wrap this up-" *Streams of flower petals suddenly swayed past him from behind, cutting his neck.*
Victoria: "MOONLIGHT REFLECTION" *She smirked in a victorious-like manner, listening to Ridley grunt in pain and shock.*
Ridley: (That dirty lamp reflected the attack after his Ougi finished!)
Cortax: *He reached up, causing the clock to spiral back into his hand.* "Awesome work, sis."
Victoria: *She took a deep breath, ignoring a bead of sweat which ran down her face.* "Any time."
Kath: "Foolish, girl." *She glared at Elizabeth, as if she was ready to kill.*
Lehi: *He moaned and slowly leant up, noticing smoke evaporate off the burnt parts on his clothes.* "Damn the Astragons."
Elizabeth: "We are proud dancers!" *She shouted and skipped towards Kath, raising the staff.*
Kath: "Proud?" *She pushed her body forward and a flare of green flames scorched behind her, allowing her to glide across the ground.*
Elizabeth: *She frowned, readying herself for Kath's inevitable attack.* "Yes!"
Kath: "Nuisance!" *She glided into striking distance and punched towards Elizabeth's face.*
Elizabeth: *She slammed the staff on Kath's arm, causing a spurt of green flames to blast high into the air.* "Rarh!"
Kath: *She watched the flames spew out of her fist in shock.* (She knocked my arm away before I could insinerate her face-?)
Elizabeth: "Rurh!" *She spiralled around, sweeping the staff across Kath's face.*
Kath: *She quickly ducked under the staff and tapped the ground, causing a wave of green flames to spurt towards Elizabeth.*
Elizabeth: "Flashing of the lights, MYSTIC FALLS" *A spiral of blinding light swayed in the air, before violently slamming into the flames.*
*Elizabeth took several steps back, watching the light block the wave of flames.*
Kath: *She frowned and waved her hand to the side, blowing away the splinters of flames.* "I grow tired of you-"
Elizabeth: "Same." *She spiralled the staff in her hands.*
Kath: "Pitiful-" *She flashstepped directly in front of Elizabeth and jabbed towards her face, causing a burst of flames to explode on her forehead.*
Elizabeth: *The flames knocked her back off her feet.* "Argh-" *She squinted her eyes and tumbled across the ground.*
Cortax: "My love!-" *A black sword shot past his face, drawing his attention to Ridley.*
Ridley: "Don't look away from me again." *He smiled in a casual-like manner.*
Elizabeth: *She came to a stop and slowly stood back on her feet.* "Dang-" *She frowned, rubbing burnt skin off her face.*
Kath: (How? That quick burst would have usually exploded a head!)
Lehi: (Elizabeth has the best Astragon control out of the rest of us. This allows her to place an Astral-like cloak around her. Normally, an attack like that would've killed someone-)
Kath: "Useless! Scorching screeches, hurdling down, miserable heat, FLAMING BLAZE"
*Fire ignited on the ground and suddenly ringed around Elizabeth, instantly bursting into a cage of green flames.*
Elizabeth: "No!"
Kath: "To finish you off, Ougi."
Lehi: (O-Ougi?!)
Cortax: *He gasped in terror, shaking his head.* "No!-"
Lehi: "I got this!-" *He jumped up, readying to sprint towards Kath.*
Kath: "Strings of fire ignite the foe, burn to ash, RIPPLING FIREY WEB" *She clicked her fingers, causing web-like strings of red fire to ripple up from the ground, binding Lehi's arms and legs.*
Lehi: "Argh!" *He shouted in pain, watching his clothes and skin sizzle around the web-like fire strings.*
Kath: "Bakana Flare." *She pointed both index fingers at Elizabeth and focused, causing the air around her to blur as if it was raining.*
Elizabeth: (Even her Astragon levels are out of my comprehension!-)
Victoria: (No! I have to pour the maximum amount of Neurons into this Remenistal!-) *She shouted in thought, intensely staring at Elizabeth in a worried-like manner.* "Neurons draw, Astragons repel, MYSTIC SHIELD"
Kath: "Hah!" *She pushed forward and a multi-coloured, volcanic-like eruption exploded underneath Elizabeth, leaving behind the sounds of her fading screams.*
Ridley: "Haha, that's finally one down."
Lehi: *He breathed through gritted teeth, trying to free his arms from the burning strings.* (Elizabeth!)
Kath: *She watched the ground crack and debris crack around the flames, as it brightly lit up the entire courtyard.* "You have been terminated.."
----------
Karol: *He felt the walls rumble, causing him to step back.* "W-What's happening out thair?!"
Infinity: "Be quiet, Karol."
Trinity: *She looked down, tapping her toes on the ground in a curious-like manner.* (Something doesn't feel right?)
Karol: *He ignored the growing mutters of fear from the teenagers, focusing all his attention to the glyphs on the wall.* "I-I will open it."
Infinity: "You may have one of the strongest bloodlines, but you're hopeless."
Trinity: "She's right, you are the only dancer of your bloodline to not produce an offensive Remenistal."
Karol: "B-But-"
Trinity: "You're a failure."
Infinity: "Yeah, a failure you are."
Karol: *He formed fists and lowered his head, as if he was about to cry.* ".. Me not using offensev attack doesn't mean I can't open a door-"
*The entire stone room started to shake and crack, causing one of the glyphs to shatter like glass.*
Infinity: "What did you do?!" *She spoke in shock, instinctively lowering her head.*
Karol: "Ngee-?!" *He squealed in fright and stumbled back, watching the shattering glyph disintegrate into nothing.*
Trinity: *She stared at the door and looked worried, as if she knew something was wrong.* (What is happening out there? That doesn't sound like The Purafetic Dance.)
Infinity: *She looked over her shoulder, watching teenagers point towards the door.* (It looks like the others want to know too-)
*Four young adults started to dance in front of the door, causing sigil-like glyphs to glow in response.*
Trinity: "What are you doing?!" *She watched the four young adults dance in sync.*
Young Man: "We're seeing what's happening outside!" *He shouted and suddenly stopped with the others at the same time, causing the two stone doors to open up, allowing moonlight to glow into the room.*
Karol: *He felt warm air blow into the room, causing him to frown in confusion.* (It was a cold night, why is it suddenly hot?)
----------
*The multi-coloured flames faded, revealing a half burnt Elizabeth standing inside a shattering white shield.*
Victoria: (Thank the Astragons!)
Elizabeth: *She leant to one side, watching her clothes singe into her skin.* "Harh.. Harh.. Harh.."
Kath: "Herm?" *She pushed her glasses up with one finger, staring at Elizabeth intrigued.* "How did you survive?"
Elizabeth: *She watched the shield disintegrate into nothing, before coughing out blood.* "Kargh!"
Ridley: "Oh my? I was certain that would've killed her, haha."
Elizabeth: *She groaned with each breath, trying to stay on her feet.* (For my city.. My son, Karol..) "Ougi." *She shouted with widening eyes, causing Kath to chuckle.*
Kath: "Just try-"
Elizabeth: "Angelic Celestic Siren."
Kath: "Hrmm?" *Her eyes turned silver, causing Elizabeth to smirk.*
Elizabeth: *She glanced at Ridley.* "Now, destroy your partner."
Kath: *She noticed her arm slowly rise on its own accord, forming a fist towards Ridley.* (My Neurons? She's about to make me release my Remenistal-)
