Spirit Panic!

[nightmarezeroX9]

The fog was intensifying, and every second it seemed like the fog was going to swallow everyone whole. Satoshi didn't have to worry about slipping on ice because he was floating, but he still had to worry of something coming his way, and attacking him. His weasels were clinging to his body, attempting to not get separated. He took it slower and slower each time, making sure not to get too far ahead of everyone. Ace's calling out about how you could hear the spirit attack made him be more alert, in case she decided to attack him at all.

Probably speaking a little too soon, a cracking noise was heard to his left. Turing over to see what was there, an icicle was rapidly approaching him. Trying to react as fast as he could, he used his wind magic to propel himself slightly to the right, but he wasn't fast enough. Although able to get away from any major damage, the icicle slid up against his cheek, taking off a good chunk. He could feel blood running down his face, and even though it was warm and slightly refreshing to feel, it was still his blood. Muttering a few curse words, he looked over to see the Yuki Onna smiling, or at least it looked like a smile. Pointing at her, his weasels knew exactly what meant, and one branched off to charge her. After the lone weasel began his flight towards her, the thick fog quickly covered her up, almost seeming to swallow her. Without being able to see its target, the weasel stopped in his tracks, and quickly came back Satoshi. Touching the side of his face that was bleeding, he looked at his finger to see that the whole tip was covered in bright red blood. The bleeding seemed pretty bad, but it wasn't life threatening at all. The only problem was he didn't have anything to wipe it up. The only thing that annoyed him about it was that he wasn't able to react in time enough. Next time though, he'd know what to look for.

Yin saw Satoshi get cut on the cheek, meaning it was time to do her job. "Yang-" But Ashely just nodded, also seeing Satoshi get cut and started running towards him. As she ran, thanks to Pip's fire magic, the ground around Ashely's feet melted into water, allowing her and her sister to run over Satoshi with ease. Well, if there weren't random ice cicles getting thrown at them, it would have been easier, but it just wouldn't have been as fun for Ashely since she could just melt them with fireballs.


"Hold still Satoshi!" Mizuki said when she got to him, placing her hands near the wound so she could heal it. "Cover us Yang!"


"Rodger that Yin!" Ashely smirked, sending more fireballs at the on coming ice shards. Ashely figured the Yukki Onna must not like fire to much, cuase it kept sending a bunch of ice missles at her, but Ashely was ready to fight ice with fire.

A cracking sound? With all of the noise being made by the ones that couldn't keep their balance, hearing a cracking sound would be hard. Still, Ishi knew that something like that would be best done in his transformed state. He quickly looks around and decides that it might be a good idea to get a little flashy with this one. In that moment some of the fog of the area starts to slowly spin around him and group together to form the petals from cherry blossoms. These quickly accumulate and start to fly all through the air but staying close to the ground. He watches as the petals quickly harden and slart to slice and shave some bits of the ice to provide a bit of footing for those that didn't have any way. But this was only the mid point. From there the petals all turned around and shot towards Ishi himself before slamming into his body. It's only after he is covered in a pile that they all vanish back into the mist and reveals himself in his transformed state holding a metal baseball bat.

"Now where is she?"

At that moment he notices a block of ice flying towards him. ...Okay so he assumes it's a block of ice seeing as how some of the others were already attacked this way. But he simply plants his feet into the ice and raises the bat to hover near the back of his head. He times everything perfectly swings with all of his strength. The ice shatters from his strength, but he thows in a bit of his own spiritual energy to send each shard back in the direction that it came from to create a spray of daggers. He readies himself for the sound that he is looking for, and launches himself in the direction when he hears the sound of ice slamming against ice. He brings the wooden club over his head and slams down into the ground only to see that he's missed the target and left a huge crater in the ice with cracks being sent out all over the place.

"Sorry, guys! I missed the target!"

Unfortunately, and as lame as this may sound, Emilia was trying her best not to slip on the icy floor. She was sure that the spirit was nearby, and she had heard what Ace said. The cracking sounds were not missed, but the attacks weren’t aimed at her, so far. Or maybe she was able to dodge them, miraculously. Whatever was happening among the group would happen to her soon, and she wasn’t going to doubt it.

Her feet slid forwards and she almost got hit by Ishiro’s attack had she not kicked herself backwards. She fell onto the floor with a soft yelp and gulped. Ishiro apologizes for missing the target, and she gulped. “Well, on the bright side, your attack missed me too!” She said sarcastically as she stood up quickly. She was aware that the fog was thickening and the spirit kept changing positions.

And it was when she stood up that she heard a cracking noise from her right and from behind Ishiro. She pushed him away from the oncoming ice shards as it nearly missed them, one or two of the shards cutting her back faintly. She gripped her shirt tightly, not for the pain that she felt but for her worsening fear. “I’m really sorry for not being able to do much,” She managed to say and she rigidly looked around for the spirit’s presence. She could sense that the spirit was constantly moving, and it irked her. If she was ever close enough, she would give a good kick to that female spirit.

Hayden saw the others slip and fall (she had to keep herself from laughing, because that was just rude and this was a serious situation) and she didn't want to suffer the same fate. She focused her energy to her feet, and they immediately started glowing, radiating with heat that melted the ice she trod on. But now there was the obtrusive fog to deal with. The yuki onna has been attacking members of the group one by one, but she couldn’t see the furious spirit at all. She tried staying still and listening closely, but couldn't keep it up for too long. She was too easily distracted, especially with her demon-senses going off after Ishi transformed, and she was getting incredibly frustrated. She hated just standing idly by while the others were getting hurt.

Restlessly, she walked back and forth and waved her hands around. She wanted a general location for the spirit, and the only way to get it was to get attacked and see where it was coming from. She made her whole body glow, to attract the spirit's attention, but she still hadn't gotten attacked. Instead, Ishi and Emilia were targeted.

"Emi, are you okay?" Hayden rushed to her, but relaxed when it seemed she wasn't too badly injured. She scanned the area where she assumed the ice shards came from, but still saw nothing. "This is getting annoying!"

Taking a firm stance, she raised both arms and channeled all her frustration into her attack. Multicolored lights enveloped her fingers as she generated numerous spheres of explosive energy. She targeted random parts of the room, planning to cover as much area as she could without getting the group caught in the blast range.

She heard the distinct booms, which were then followed by showers of ice pellets. She didn't hear anything from the yuki onna, however. "Emi," she called out, straining to see through the fog. "Can you see anything? Please tell me at least one of those got close to her."
