Exhusted Mitsu knew that they could not keep this up. It was way too fast. She was out of magical energy, but that didn't mean she could not cast a spell. It just meant that even the simplist spell had a chance of killing her, for it would come from her very life force.
It would also have to be fast, she doubted that the being would let her finish a spell. Which meant even more of her life force going out, but there was only one hope. Elvin.
She focused her life force into a single quick spell, hoping it would be enough..and leave her enough life force not to die. There was only one spell that could help that she could cast. Haste.
Her casting complete, she crumpled to the ground.

With the aid of transformation well over with, I knew there was not much more I could do in fighting this giant. This fact was doubled by the issue of having one of my arms now useless, and the other under intense strains. I had to think of a way out of this situation.
How, though, was the problem. Attempting to knock the giant off balance, maybe over, by trying to apply force to the foot upon my better shoulder? It might be possible, but there would be a greater chance of doing nothing, except injuring the shoulder. No. Brute force is not the best of plans, right now. A spell would be the best of options, it would seem, and I hope to choose the correct one. Otherwise, it could be my end.
Thinking as fast as I can, I decide on a spell that would most fit my situation. Seeing as how I can’t move, and I don’t want to warn the giant of my actions, I cast the spell in form of both, stilled, and silenced. Using both of those abilities, and all the concentration I can put forth, I cast Reverse Gravity in an area around the giant, wishing for success.
Having nothing more I can do, and not knowing if the spell will even work, I shift my form into my normal state. I hope even more that either the spell worked, or the current form will take into account my center of mass, and I will be out from under the giant’s boot.
Whatever my case, I feel too weak to move, and wait what fate has in store for me.

A strange experience wallowed over me. When bigby's hand faded away, so was the forest of ice sinking to the ground. and I sunk away in an enormous struggle where there was no dividing line between the mental and physical realm. Clearly, I lost in the physical realm when I sunk down in a pool of my own cursed blood. I gasped and felt my face and body become pale as life energy was deserting my body.
I saw the good captain's claws (and more importantly, it's new tint) and found out what had occured. I tried to summon power, but it washed away. I tried to call out on him, but my body craved too much for air. I felt weak and my eyes became foggy and unclear. Was this the end? Damn, what a ridiculous ending would that be. Ridiculous? What a thought to go across your mind at your final moments!
Suddenly, before I closed my eyes and could lose consciousness, a rush washed over my body. It felt like fire, but it didn't scorch me. It only put warmth back in my hands, my drained hands and body. Blood flowed again, but before it left my body in a gushing spray, the separated tissue got back together. Clarity returned back to my eyes with a sudden shock and I tasted the crimson liquid in which I was lying. Ugh... God, I hated that metallic taste.
I got back up. I was a bit shaky and almost slipped on the muddy surface. I realised I had to wait a bit, before I could actually fight again, but I could help in other ways. I grinned as I pulled my minion out of the ground. 'You lie in that puddle over there. If the good captain turns back to us, I want you to get up and attack him.' I commanded it, when a shroud of mist fell over me. I became invisble and snuck around azagal and Ceres to see how they were doing.

((Awesome!  ))
I looked at the quickly worsening scene and made a dire determination:
"Moon, Onyx! Get out of here! I'll hold him here!"
The demon prince laughed maniacally at the mere thought.
I growled at the prince and said:
"I may die here, but you will all be stopped!"
I rush towards the prince and teleport behind him, sinking my teeth in one of his legs.

That damn shard in the knee is killing me, at least our machines got a giant down. I tear a cloth from my pants and clench my teeth as I pull the shard out and bind the wound. I can barely see Mitsu collapsing with all the dust in the air and I feel a burst of speed flowing through me, she must have cast a spell. That abomination looks weakened and I'm the only man standing, I grasp the hilt of my weapon with both hands and charge for a killing strike.

Vlad and Blake
Scaling the legs of the ice giant is like climbing up two muscular cliffs. Even with the increased speed offered by his alternate form, Vlad finds the climbing slow yet rewarding. After a few hectic seconds, he finds himself draped under the giant’s enormous belt where even light fears to tread. Amazingly, Stratus has yet detected the personal intrusion.
“And what exactly do you plan to do with that toy, mage?” Stratus mocks, twisting his boot into Blake’s shoulder even more. The blinding pain rips through the morphed mage’s body.
“PLENTY!” shouts Jarvus as ten fireballs erupt from the ivory tower’s digits. All ten strike the giant, knocking him off balance and forcing him off Blake. The resulting impacts violently throw Vlad off track, sending him plummeting towards the ground at an alarming rate. Just then, Blake’s reverse-gravity spell triggers, sending everything within the immediate vicinity that doesn’t weigh over five-hundred pounds rapidly floating upward. Vlad’s course corrected, he hovers up towards the giant’s hardened shoulder pads.
“ARGH!!!” Stratus’s rage bellows as regains his composure and blasts Jarvus’s construct with an electric tongue. The lash peels off several layers of stone, sending impossibly heavy into the battle field.
==================================================================
Mitsu and Elvin
Before Elvin can even think of counter attack, the brainy abomination impales him with a slimy tendril. Elvin simply vanishes into thin air.
+WHAT?!+ The brain turns to his left and right, searching for the warrior. +You can’t escape me+ Another lunge, another vanishing act. A long cut appears across the creature’s left leg, then his right arm, back, and his stomach. Every attack is unanswered by the elder brain.
+KILL HIM! KILL HIM!+ The creature’s rage ripples through his army of flayers and thralls. They all move to engage. Hundreds die in a blink. The brain stands, stunned. He’d seen haste spells before but something was different. The warrior was moving impossibly fast.
Fast but not faster than the speed of though.
+Die+ The psionic pressure in the area tightens and begins to tear at everything. Shadow Thieves and Alliance Soldiers begin to convulse and drop to the ground. Thralls simply explode. The heroes aren’t immune and instantly feel the effects. Blood begins to flow from Mitsu’s nose as she desperately tries to shield herself from the attack. The brain notices and cackles as it limps closer.
+You are going to die now+ Mitsu, through sheer will, forces her head up to stare at the last seconds of her life. +Then, I’ll+ The transmission stops; the brain freezes. Hundreds of cuts, stabs, and other wounds open up over its twisted body. A horrible slash appears rips apart its throat, separating the head and torso. Blood spews everywhere.
The spell wears off, revealing a panting Elvin, blades thick with blood. He and Mitsu watch as the creature's amulet hits the ground with a clink. It opens up and shoots a green ray of light towards Godspire.
==================================================================
Ceres, Azagal, Dagoth, and Beta
“Oh, looks like this toy got lost. I should return it,” Azagal smiles as he spikes the silly skeletal minion back into the ground. It collapses underneath the impact; more skeleton blood on Dagoth’s hands. It did not perish in vain, as it allowed its master valuable time to sneak around the possessed warrior. Azagal’s body sniffs the air. “Eh, where’d that sissy Warlock go?” A quick scan reveals little, so he takes off after the feeling wizard, killing everyone who gets in his way with sadistic rakes.
Ceres ran, hoping to distance herself from the shadowy creature homing in. Zig, zag; it didn’t matter. It was gaining. And so was the maniac with the iron arm and an invisible warlock panting lightly. “RUN! RUN! RUN!” the demon shrieked. She picked up pace.
A thief jumps out in front of her, screaming as acid licks away his flesh. A smug looking warlock ((B as in BETA as in Boring Elephants Tiptoe Accordingly)) steps forth to admire his work, kicks the dissolving carcass, and simply says “Pathetic. Weakling.” ((You better know where this reference is from Azagal.))
The demon dives at an alarming rate. His prize was close. So close. Just as he reaches it, Ceres trips and slams into the warlock, sending both to the ground. The demon screams as he misses and lands in the body of an already crippled shadow warrior. A horror-stricken face raises two shaking fingers and cringed at the sword sticking out of his back. “No. NO! TOO MUCH ENERGY! WASTED!” It hits the ground repeatedly, unconcerned with the increasing damage inflicted upon its new host body. "DAMNIT! DAMNIT! DAMNIT!"
==========================================================
Next up: Fate
Zarfax cringed as the fangs sank deeper into the meat of his right leg. “INSOLENT URGH!”
If it hadn’t been for Onyx’s sudden polar beam, the wily ranger would have been cleaved in twain by an immolated halberd. As frost bites into his shoulder, the mighty war blade drops. The demon prince reels backward and kicks Fate away. The wolf coughs up blood as two of its ribs crack.
Onyx limps towards Fate, eldritch energies flaring from the runes painted across his body. “Get up. You're going to get yourself get killed if you stay here. Allow a real warrior to deal with this." Blood and sweat drip down his stern face as he continues forward. “Moon won’t be able to stop the Highlord on her own. Go!"
Obediently, Fate finds himself running up the mountain after the goddess and megalomaniac.

I look at Moon as we start up the mountain and ask:
"Darn it! Why couldn't he let me fight the demon? He's going to get himself killed down there..."

I could not have expected such luck in getting up this high. As such I decided to go with a slight change of plans. Out came my sword and I made a mad dash for Stratus' neck. It's time to play surgeon with his jugular.

Shrinking down, I see Stratus getting larger and larger. I knew I had to get moving, once able, or be crushed. I rolled over, onto my chest, and attempted to push myself to my feet. My face soon met the ground below as my arm that took the majority of the injuries gave. I tried using only my good arm, but my whole body seemed to be just too exhausted to have one part perform too much work on its own. My face met the ground once more. Crawling around, pushing with my legs mostly, I make it a small distance. I give up, and roll back on my back.
“Jade! Vlad! Sapphire! Anyone who has some form of healing abilities! Anyone who can help get me out of here! The frail wizard here needs some assistance!”
Seeing as how I don’t have the ability to move to very far, very fast, I decide it may be best to prevent the giant from moving much. I cast Icy Maiden on Stratus. I hope it will at least give me enough time to either get saved, or save myself. Attempts at moving resume.

Mitsu limps over and puts one arm around Elvin, and one of his arms around her. "Our battle is not over. There are many enemies yet walking. Let us correct that." Barely able to walk, she relies on Elvin to help keep her up, and she helps keep him up. She starts to lead him toward the nearest enemy..that light of insanity still in her eyes.

The fall gives me another chance to think for the next move or more appropriately awakens me from my near to be nightmare. Being engaged with a demon is the most sickening of all. I found myself facing the ground, sweat falling off from my face like rain melting the snow as they hit the ground, cold visible mist went off my lips at a fast rate as I breathe heavily. My mind had stopped bringing the memories again, bad memories that I ought not to remember again. But still they linger.
My hands and legs are still trembling when I decided to look back to see the horror that has been chasing me. My eyes widened with the sight. Lady luck is on my side. The demon had missed on me and instead it landed in an undesired body… and it is crabby. But it doesn’t stop my nightmare. I still feel afraid. I still feel helpless. I still feel disarray. I want it away from me. I want it dead. Yes, that’s all I wanted.
I turn around and open my cloak sloppily that some of the items it holds dropped on the ground. With just one look, my wobbly fingers hastily snatch a wand of lightning bolt from one of the pockets. This time I think aggressively or rather… didn’t think at all. I tip the stick towards the demon-infested shadow warrior and without hesitation I start to chant the spell trigger for the wand, giving each word more and more accents as it near the end and almost shouting the final word without even realizing it.
I just want it dead! I utter to myself.

(That quote is from DBZ, Vegeta says that! Also my Warlocks name is Balazard)
I stand up and claps the dust of my cloths. Then I take a look around me seing a horrofied person right next to me, who must have been the cause of me falling down on the ground. She looked at an apperntly crazy person not so far away from me, which had to be the cause of her being so blind and run right into me in the first place.
"Insolent fools" I mumble to myself before I prepare to blast both of the person to hell with an Elrich Bolt. The horrorfied woman seemed to prepare to cast a spell herself, aiming at the crazy person, she was obiousvly some kind of magic user.

(OOC: This is all a bit behind scedule sorry for that. I'll catch up with the storyline in my next posts but for today I unfortunately have to finish. It'd feel wrong though to just suddenly spring to the present without having Azagal tell his story^^)
The blood rushing through his veins as he fell towards his target Azagal was shakeing with excitement. He was eager for the kill, ready for that glorious taste of victory.
Falling towards his prey it suddenly vanishes. This should however not dampen Azagals spirit.
Trying to run are you? I’ll ge…
He didn’t get to finish the thought as he heard a voice behind him
Quote:
“Funny how life never works out like it should, isn’t it?”
Behind me?!?
Turning in mid air Azagal was only fast enough catch the climbs of a hazy fist flying towards him
“FU-”
Caught by surprise and thus unprepared the impact of the punch robes Azagal of all air and sends him flying towards the ground head first much faster than he would have been comfortable with.
What the?!? How?... I was in mid air… f***… woooough ground - fast!…Land!! Move body move damnit…FAST!
His eyes widen in terror when he suddenly sees a black blur aiming for his chest. The kick deprives him of what little air he was able to gather since the punch and pain surges through the upper part of his chest. Helplessly he smashes into the ground, the kick making his efforts of easing the impact obsolete.
….ugh….b….bastards….air…
Turning in pain he struggles to catch his breath.
…woaw… that hurt…move body…mooooove!
The waves of adrenaline that had drowned any feelings of exhaustion or pain in their all consuming rush of his nervous system started to die down and it took its toll on his stamina but sanity would finally grab hold of him again.
Nyaaaaaaaaaa….when did I get so tired? Oi… bastards… I’ll get you… just need to catch some breath… you guys just wait… I’ll get you…. Awww no… no no no no don’t pass out! Stay with me here!
His vision started to get blurry and his body heavy.
Don’t pass out don’t pass out don’t pass out…. don’t pass out… don’t…. d…don’t….
Trying with all strength to keep his consciousness Azagal vaguely notices how Dagoth gets fried alive. One of the demons makes it way over to Azagal. Fear has a way of vitalizeing people and Azagal is no exception.
uh-oh… now or never. MOVE BODY!!
...
Azagal stays immobile too exhausted to move.
#&§@%!! coooome oooon now’s not the time to lay around! I’ll get you a nice massage when this is all over, just move. Please?
The Demon is now right above Azagal
Aw man… this is it then I guess? Azagal smiled a faint smile, he didn’t want to go out of this world not smiling or laughing. Unfortunately he lacked the air to laugh.
The last thing he felt was a little pain on several points of his body.
….
…
Am I dead now?
…
…No?
He slowly opened his eyes. He was standing an the demons were gone. Also Dagoth was getting up.
OIIII!! Dagoth we made it!
Quote:
” This way you get to watch the other die!”
? Oi… that’s not what I said
Quote:
““Wait, wait wait,” the warlock interrupts and lets the acid fizzle out. Are you familiar with the expression ‘less is more’?”
Haw? Ehm… uh no?
Quote:
“Ah, yes. One of the great philosophies of the eastern men,”
Oh… I didn’t know that I… wait WHAT?! Who said that?”
Azagal tries to turn his head but his body won’t react.
He tries to walk. No reaction. Shakeing his hands won't work either. Neither does headbanging.
…What the hell is going on?
Slowly Azagal began to realize that he was a mere spectator to his own actions.

Mistsu trusted Elvin, more then anybody, even in her current state she trusted him totally. "If you think it best." there was a odd sound in her voice, she almost did not sound like herself. She let Elvin guide her to wherever he had in mind.
