Yup.

She goes in, club at the ready.

Permalink

A few streets in, and she can hear the noise of a fight from behind the buildings.

Electricity crackling between knives embedded into the walls blocks entry to the alleyway.

Permalink

Ellie would probably be upset if she entered her territory, but she's already made that mistake.

Hopefully she doesn't mind the interruption.

Do you need any help?

Permalink

Fucking- what are you doing here? Don't move, I'm coming out.

A muffled grunt of pain, then Ellie stumbles out through the gate, clutching her left shoulder.

Permalink

That's easy enough.

She reaches out to heal her.

"I wasn't sure if you needed backup, but if you do, backup."

Permalink

Sigh.


"There's like fifteen of the bastards still in there."

Permalink

"I can't do as much as you can, but two are still better than one. I'll stay out of your way."

Permalink

"Need a better plan than that." She nods at Gwen's club. "Can you take melee?"

Permalink

"I can. I have some minor wind powers. I use them to corner them but I've never tried with this many."

Permalink

"Okay. I'm going to go around the back, get up on the roof, try to set up something big. I'll drop the gate, you stay on the ground, keep them penned for me."

Permalink

Nod.

"Good luck."

Permalink

"Try not to die."

She heads off around the block. After a moment, the knives in the alley walls disappear.

Permalink

She goes inside, club at the ready. She shouldn't need to use it, but just in case.

She goes looking for wraiths.

Permalink

It's not like they're hiding, shadowy amalgamations of eyes, teeth, and lava that they are.

Permalink

She calls upon the Mighty Forces of the Wind to form a curved wall, trying to push them against a building.

Permalink

They're buffeted back, but the wall starts looking melt-y.

Permalink

They can break through my walls, but not immediately. I won't be able to do this for long.

She adds another layer around the first.

Permalink

Just hold them.

She checks the charge in her soul gem. Should be enough, grief cubes after.

Raise hands, eight knives, throw them down crackling with barely-contained charge, landing amidst the group. One larger knife thrown upwards, spinning, end over end until the apex- CRACK! A searingly brilliant bolt cuts down from the sky, guided to the knives on the ground and jumping out to fry each of the wraiths, which dissolve into a small pile of black cubes.

Permalink

Convenient enough for her, then.

She relaxes, admiring the results.

Nice job. Do you know why there were so many?

Permalink

Ellie jumps lightly down, her green-and-black skirt hardly billowing. She kneels to pick up one of the cubes and presses it to the gem on the inside of her forearm.

"Happens sometimes."

Permalink

Nod.

She looks around for any sign of other girls.

Permalink

"What?"

Permalink

"I was just wondering if the Japanese girls you mentioned might be paying attention to us now."

Permalink

"Who knows."

Permalink

A soft white cat-like creature appears from around the corner and sits down.
