New Beginning 18: Beware of Reality Warpers!

[Philote]

I swing again, this time the shimmering water taking on the form of an octopus. Its tentacles striking eight times against Brutus' solid water bubble.

[Zaleramancer]

I morph away my ears, but the sonic blast still sends be flying.

I respond with my own ranged attack.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

"Oh, dear, you made a pun." Nikolai gags.

Then he points the Bo Staff at Marv, and out of it shoots innumerable super-hard wooden shrapnel shards. Nikolai can regenerate them continually as long as he keeps his concentration.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

The Bubble revolves in reaction to the Water-pus. With every tentacle strike, it will hit a spike.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Terryffinda is wide-eyed at the SHOOP! attack.

She holds the Tessen up to block the energy attack and fortunately the metal reflects some of the light, but the greater portion knocks her backward a couple dozen yards.

[Philote]

The octopus is ripped by the spikes, so I swing down with my other hand, the water forming into a whale-hammer

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I retract Sarabi and form him into a overlarge shield to duck behind. While I crouch behind Sarabi I begin to charge my next attack,

[Celadon's Penultimate]

"Oh, shi--" Brutus braces himself and the bubble as the hammer comes down, plunging him into the waters full force.

Hopefully the Bubble can withstand that.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Nikolai continues his attack, with the exception that after a while he decides to spice it up.

The darts are now filled with the poison of a basilisk. If they contact skin, that area will begin to slowly (painfully) petrify.

[Philote]

I simultaneously create a spiked ice sphere to launch down and create a vortex to suck Brutus back towards me so that he doesn't get too close to the Earth below.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Within the Bubble, Brutus beings rolling once again, causing the Bubble to rotate at faster and faster speeds. Hopefully the solid-water surface can soak some of the impending damage.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Finnally, I finish charging my attack,

"Take this! Quartz Graveyard."

[Philote]

The bubble survives the ice ball and continues up in the vortex towards me. I use my gauntlet's sword fish mode and swing down with a water blade to cleave the bubble.

[Zaleramancer]

"Crazy Shadow Ambush!"

My shadow appears behind Terryffinda, holding Bunny-Hugger right above her head.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Nikolai recoils as (some effect happens that Marv will be gracious enough to describe, since I does not know what the attack entails), hoping his armor will stand up against the assault.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

(Really? its my signature move)

Quartz spines, spikes and spires erupt violently from the ground in all directions.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

The spiky water bubble bursts, and Brutus falls into the water, with the sword in hand.

Silence. And then...

Brutus surfaces again; this time, he's warped the water into an acidic-and-poisonous, shark shaped transport vehicle.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Nikolai continues to recoil.

The three servants are being slowly backed up closer and closer to the Manor. (Meaning I is tired, nearly ready to end my turn as villain)

[Philote]

I take another swing with my swordfish blade to test what has formed before me.

[Philote]

(Continue tomorrow?)
