Re: A Wild Flower (Ryu Doppler)
Rolls
Desperate as her own straits were, Jezebel realized what Ione was doing just a second before she could actually do it. It wasn't fast enough to do anything to stop her, but in the back of her increasingly hazy mind, Ione heard the night elf cry out; "No Ione! Don't!" It was far too late to stop her, however, and the burst of bright light that she issued against the ground left her momentarily blind and deaf. She felt the points of contact end, felt herself fall, felt the pain of the wounds on her abdomen increase above the arousal still flushing through her system from the poison she'd been exposed tom, only to be joined by the added pain of her back as it slammed against the ground. There'd been at least a dozen grabbers around her when she'd unleashed her blast, all clustered as they tried to force their way into the tavern.... And Jezebel, the horned knight, and the two men supporting the warrior had been pretty close too.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the knight regaining her feet from several feet away, her once flawless skin now blistered and burned, and Ione couldn't help but notice her newly acquired limp or the scowl on her face. Jezebel, lying on her side but still moving and showing no signs of any burns, had a pained look as she forced herself to her feet and unleashed a blast of acid from her hand, one that washed over another group of the alien tentacle monsters and melted them practically to nothing. Ione also noticed that the two men that had been fighting beside the woman with the greatsword were nowhere to be seen... And that a sizeable chunk of the patio on which they'd been standing was simply gone, where it had once been now marked by the burnt edges of the wood of what was left.
Any thoughts that this might inspire were sent from her mind as sound returned with a vengeance in the form of an impossibly loud, piercing, inhuman shriek. The source of that turned out to be Mandragora... Or what Mandragora held out in her hand, a single orb of pure black flame that was twitching as if it were about to burst. The massive alien was closer to the other golden alraune than before, but for some reason it was flinching aside and clutching at its shoulder, and that gave the alraune the time she needed to finish what she was doing. A second impossibly loud cry, a sound like nothing that Ione had ever heard before even from the deadly creatures that inhabited the Pfitherian jungle, came forth just as the orb burst, and a black sinuous figure made of pure black flame came rushing out of Mandragora's outstretched. At the front of that figure was a head of black fire, formed in the shape of a great predatory beast that was vaguely reptilian, but Ione only had an instant to view it before it barreled into the alien juggernaut and sent it tumbling backwards even as its entire body erupted in black fire.
The juggernaut was pushed backwards, and Ione barely took note of the rest of the struggles going from out of the corner of her eye. The civilians who couldn't fight well were nearly overwhelmed by a surge of aliens, but the knight that Ione herself had left gravely wounded stepped up and cut them down like so much wheat, buying them time to huddle in the back as the defense of the tavern became all the more desperate. Several of the men were dragged over the wall by their tentacled attackers, where even the spears of their comrades couldn't reach them, but the men fought on as best they could. All of this paled in comparison to the struggle between dragon and monster, however, as the abominable creature was dragged across the ground away from Mandragora, forming a long trough in the middle of the paved street, even as its flesh boiled and its own inhuman shriek joined that of the flaming creature that was killing it.
After a moment the creature flung itself upwards, and with one long, last shriek of triumph it coiled into a circle in the air and vanished with flash of blue and black sparks. Mandragora stood in the same place she'd been before, panting heavily and with horrible burns running up the entirety of her right arm.... But when she turned, she had a triumphant smile. Because she was looking at Ione and seeing the devastation that she had wrought, however, Mandragora didn't see the impossible happen. She didn't see the charred monster rise from its grave, its flesh burned down to the bone but still somehow moving. She didn't see its slack jaw twitching, its charred lungs heaving as it tried and failed to scream. She didn't see the eyeless monster coming. But from the look of horror on her face, she probably heard it just before it crossed the distance between them in a few striding steps. She half turned, and as such she took the backhand that it used to swat her aside right in the stomach, and went flying away some thirty feet before crashing into another building across from the bar that Ione was defending, one that looked like some sort of shop. And she didn't come out.
Whatever Ione felt in that moment, she found the strength to get up. Her body was in two flavors of agony, pain and arousal flushing through her, but she found the strength to get moving after she'd gotten up, to charge the mutilated being that had just sent the only one of her kind with whom she'd ever gotten along flying into a building. She found the strength to lift her energy blade, and she found the strength to swing it, to feel the weapon formed of her own spirit cutting through flesh like so much paper. The beast let out one last wheeze as she cut it in half along its middle, and then it flopped in two pieces, its legs toppling a moment after its torso had already thudded against the ground. And then, even though she'd absorbed some of the monster's essence to replenish her rapidly dwindling reserves, Ione felt as if she didn't have any strength left at all.
Turning around, she saw that some of the men had been dragged away by the aliens, but they were only untangling themselves from tentacled limbs and trying to manage their swollen erections within their pants. Jezebel was still standing, but for the moment at least their immediate area was clear of any monsters. The knight was alright too, or was at least standing, and though the mage in the black robe was doubled over and appeared to be panting heavily, he looked alright as well. No one else was showing signs of pain, though a good number of the men that had been in the grasp of the tentacled aliens for too long were staring at Ione rather intently.
