Elemental Planes Role Play Part 2

[Marvelous Miscreant]

With my free hand I cling to Neo's massive metal chest. I struggle to pull my captured arm from the minion's grasp. With a shout, small stone pebbles streak from my palm into the minion forcing it backwards.

[Philote]

Neo's monstrous metal claw raises up behind Marv, hurtling upwards to scrape him off the Neo-Colossus body.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I flinch as the massive claw collides with me, sending me hurtling into the air. I begin to recover as I reach the apex of my arc and aim myself towards the very same claw as I fall heavily back down.

[Philote]

Marv's rocky mass impacts upon the metal plates forming the claw and crush through them. One of the claws falls like a blade and impales itself upon the platform below.

(You can choose to either crush through the hand and land on the ground below, or to cling onto the hand and continue from there.)

[Zaleramancer]

I start lobbing light-blasts at Neo from a distance.

[Philote]

The light blasts sear off several plates of metal and leave patches of red-hot plates that failed to be removed. The heat energy seems to move across Neo's body, eventually journeying up a chain linking to one of Neo's minions. The now smoldering android levitates through the air to retaliate against Zale and Wulf who was recovering nearby.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I pull my arms in close over my face as I follow through and plummet towards the ground at an alarming rate. At the last moment a pillar of soft sand rises to catch me, billowing out as I collide with it. The sand spills out, lowering me to the ground. As it disperses I stagger to me feet and shake my head to clear it.

I glance up at Neo, who towers above me. The gleaming metal shard I had dislodged was only a few feet away. Slowly a devious plan formed in my mind. I dash forward, as fast as my heavy new elemental body could carry me, towards the metal chunk lodged in the platform and attempt to rip it free.

[Zaleramancer]

I launch myself into another teleport, landing beside Marv.

"So, Rocky, need a hand?" I ask shakily, wondering what the hell compelled me to place myself in-between the rock-man and the metal-monster.

Without waiting for a response, I raise up a force-field to block Neo's path.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"Whatever cover you can provide will help. I'm gonna ram this shard...", I indicate the large chunk of metal, then point up at Neo's chest, "...into his chest. I gotta get that artifact out."

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I hurry to Marv's side, and offer to magnetically propel the metal shard. That metal monster has got me especially fired up.

[Philote]

The smoldering minion was forced to change its trajectory as its prey teleported away. As it circled around, the chain connecting it to Neo encompasses the group, burning with the same heat that it had absorbed before.

Meanwhile, Phi has circled around behind the Colossus, weaving his Waters of Life around the Colossus' legs to keep him from advancing and trampling the group gathered at his front.

Neo's functional claw raises into the air as if to strike again before opening up to reveal more chained minions to rain down on the group gathered around the severed claw.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

"AAAAHHH!!!"

I send out a powerful magnetic pulse, hoping to repulse the metallic minions.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I pull with all my might, sand and stone swirling about my arms and legs to brace me. Slowly the dislodged claws slides looses with a harsh metallic screech. I drop it to the ground with a thud trying to catch my breath, unaware of the minions attacking from above.

[Philote]

Between Zale's barrier and Wulf's magnetic repulsion, the minions, including the smoldering one, are kept at bay. They begin to crowd around the trio, siphoning off power until they could get at their prey. The minions would have to be removed before the group could advance with the severed claw.

Phi continues to weave water and vines around the distracted Colossus, he would prepare to make the Colossus open to attack once the other group was prepared.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I turn to the sky to see the minions struggling towards us. A volley of explosive kinetic stones rips from my hands into their midst followed by lashes of my lava whip. They were in my way and I had a friend to save.

[Zaleramancer]

I teleport up to one of the minions, grabbing onto it, then teleport off into empty space several yards above me- trying to see if I can drag it along.

[Mik_Hael]

....I thrust my hand into my own shadow caussing it to spear outward into several tendrils which peirce the shadows of whatever the heck we're fighting. I then wildly flail the tendrils dragging the shadows and their owners with them.

[Philote]

Metallic limbs go flying as the wave attacking the group are pushed back. Marv's attacks punch through a majority of the nearest minions while Zale teleports the few remaining away from their connection to Neo. Finally, those that were still in the air are ripped away as Jester grabs their shadows from below.

Only Neo himself remained at the end, giving the group a chance to counterattack while new minions were being built. Phi creates another vine around Neo's skull with his Waters of Life and pulls himself to the top of his Colossus ally. The rest of the vines were tied to the broken patches in the platform caused by Neo's rampaging. Now all he had to do was to bring the Colossus down so his allies could free Neo of the Artifact.

A storm crackles around Phi as he builds up energy and calls down a bolt of Wet Lightning upon himself and Neo's skull on which he stood. The Colossus' knees give out and he slumps to the ground as rain falls from above.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Using all my strength I heave the massive claw onto my shoulder, bracing it with stones and earth. I pull the artifact from my pocket, and look through at Neo. I see the energies trailing Neo and pin point the best place to strike. Taking careful aim, I launch the claw with a combination of sand and stones propelling it through the air towards Neo.

[Zaleramancer]

I pause to gaze at the metal guy, wondering how long it would take him to get back up.
