Bring It On|Athrug

Acqua touches her water marking and sends up a shild of water, melting the shards before they can reach her or Amaro. "You'll have to do better then that," she growls, before sending a hard blast of water at the Ice type's face. "If you run now, I promise not to drown you," she adds with a cold smile. "And don't think that just because I'm a 'nice, gentle Water elemental'," Amaro snorts in amusement at the idea of Acqua being nice or gentle and Acqua smirks before continuing, "that I wouldn't kill you in a second. I grew up in Flux after all."

Tom tumbles out of the drivers wagon as the horses get killed. He quickly stands up drawing his sword and tries to close the distance between him and the Fire elemental.

Lessa stands up with a wince and clenches fists before firing a fireball at the Storm elemental and tries to condence the mist she made around the Water elemental to try and freeze him/her.

"Cynth!" Hod shouts, grabbing for her as she falls. He begins to back up, pulling Cynth along with him. However, quite suddenly a blazing inferno leaps up at the attacking elementals. Standing behind them, loooking somewhat bored, is a muscular red haired man, shirtless and touching two fire signs on his chest.

[Kender Bard]

The water elemental grunts as Collin tackles her to the ground, but then does a swift sit-up. "Oh, shut up." She takes the opportunity to slap her hand over his mouth and pump out water, hoping to drown him.

---

The Ice elemental growls softly and starts to back off. After a hard stare, the elemental runs off, shouting something that gets drowned out in the multitude of other cries.

---

The Fire elemental quickly backs off, not wanting to get skewered anytime soon. His Storm comrade sends a bolt of lightning at Tom as the Water elemental goes running after Lessa, shooting water and hoping to make her slip up.

---

The water type manages to save herself from immolation by dousing himself with water, but he's badly burnt. The look in his eyes beg release, pity, mercy, but like a puppet on strings, he forces himself back up and sends gouts of water at the fiery newcomer.

---

The remaining Minds fall, completely wiped out. Their death cries ring as one and linger on the air, a warning to all the retreating elementals - their time is at hand. The Clear army presses forward and starts picking off stragglers. Ten of the slower fleeing elementals are slain, taking out only four of the enemy in the process.

Collin claws desprately at her arm. Then is a strangled gurgle he gives a swipe at her neck.

[Northen Light36]

Acqua turns and glances at Amaro, hissing in sympathic pain at the sight of the wound. "I can heal that, but not here," she tells him. "Come on." With that she helps Amaro, who's getting dizzy from blood loss, to walk by letting him lean on her and the pair make their way off the battle field as quickly as is posible with Amaro's current state. "Ugh, you're bleeding on me," teases Acqua.
"Hush street brat," counters Amaro. "You and I will have a word about common sense and using it later. Where are Alethia and Talon?"
"With Taurus and away from the fighting," Acqua assures him. Glancing at the apporching Clears, Acqua curses before pressing a hand to her water marking, chanting swiftly and letting her healing water flow over Amaro's injury enough to stop the bleeding at least. "I've got enough common sense to know now's the time to run," she remarks to Amaro.
"Shut up and save your breath," Amaro snaps in responce as the pair run towards a clump of trees, hoping to be able to hide from the Clears.

Tom gets struck by the lightning bolt getting knocked down with a grunt.

Lessa slips a little bit before she freezes the water to something she is more familer with. However once Tom is hit she is overcome by a cold fury and freezes a spike of black ice out of smoke she made earlier and launches it at the Storms chest.

[Deleted]

The red haired man groans in pain as the attack hits him, but Hod hurls a lightning bolt at the water elemental from behind, his face contorted with rage. "That's for Cynth you bastard!"

[Kender Bard]

The water elemental clutches at the spot where Collin clawed her then collapses, the lifeblood pouring of her as swiftly as a river.

---

The Clears don't notice the two of them. Instead they're calling back all of their remaining elementals. "We've wiped them out, retreat, retreat!" At their beckon, the elementals begin to swarm around their masters.

---

The Storm has only enough time to open eyes wide in shock before being impaled and falling over, dead. The Fire type's about to do more damage, but he and the water elemental hear the call of their masters and going running off - but not before throwing a fireball and a water ball over their shoulders at Lessa while they run.

---

The water elemental collapses, fried to a crisp.

[Northen Light36]

"So many dead..." murmurs Acqua, pained and guilty with the knowledge they pushed the Minds into this battle. Amaro quickly covers her mouth.
"Hush," he whispers. "It's horrible but this is just how wars are. You know that Acqua." As she silently nods, Amaro wraps an arm around Acqua in quiet support and the pair huddle together in their hiding spot to wait for the Clears to leave.

[iamtuo]

Lessa throws herself to the ground hoping to avoid being harmed to badly by the two attacks.

[wesker]

Collin head rests on the very element he killed.
He hadnt been alive long.
He never met his father.
But damn that was worth it.

Maybe he gets a few brownie points for saving his stupid half sister....as as the mind trails to darkness...He finally remembers where he stashed that bone at 5 years ago...

[Deleted]

Gulping, Hod rises and then whispers, "We lost..." "Yup." agrees the red-haired man. "But you're still alive, which is more then you can say for most of these guys. Remember Hod, when you die I'll be the one to kill you. It's not like me to leave a job unfinished. And I'm not killing you until you have your brother back so I can kill him to, so you're pretty safe for awhile." With that that man leaves, humming a merry tune under his breath. Gulping, Hod rises, then calls out "Is anyone else out there?"

[Northen Light36]

Acqua and Amaro hear Hod's shout, but neither make any attempt to answer it as they don't know Hod or which side he's on.

(OOC: And... I'm now late for class. See ya.)

[Kender Bard]

The Clears and their living slaves beat a hasty retreat, not even bothering to collect the dead.

All of the Minds are dead. Almost all of the elementals are too. There's five left - and they'yre dying.

---

Calim starts to wake, recovering from the mental assault of Thelon. He calls out groggily to Lessa and Tom.

---

Alethia, Talon, and Taurus are clustered close to Thelon. He'd awaken just now. Alethia and Talon were holding hands, ready to work to make a barrer together or just plain flee. Thelon was fighting the lingering influence of the Clears. Taurus was helping him, but it isn't easy. In a curiously odd looking pose, Taurus is pressing the sign on his cheek against one of the ones on Thelon's forehead, melding the two of them together. In this way, Taurus is working to help his master, but he runs the risk of getting swallowed up himself. For now, all they can do is wait and hope.
