[Mr. Game & Watch]

During Amaterasu’s very brief peek into the office that Captain Falcon was quick to abandon, she would notice that it was just that, an office. It looked no more spectacular than anything else in the building, had a few security monitors and a makeshift desk assembled out of some rubble. Even a brief inspection could tell anybody that it was a very small room and unless it had some hidden doors there was no other escape from it than the door that the Captain used. If there was another way up wouldn’t the man have used it rather than the way he chose?

The two stood guard at the elevator door and readied their attacks, Black Mage even creating a net to catch anyone who tried to pass through which inadvertently trapped the two of them in with whatever emerged from the elevator. A small ding signaled the opening of the doors once more and when the automatic door forced itself open, it revealed that there was nothing in the slightly dented elevator. A quick evaluation of the tiny box would show a metal grate on the floor of the mechanism and a hole in the roof of it. That explained where the ex-F-zero racer had went. Whether he escape willingly or was captured that way was unknown to either one of them for the time being.

At the same time that the elevator dinged, a strange and silent hiss began about a yard above the elevator door on one of the walls adjacent to it. A circular section of the dry wall began to receive an outline until the section was jogged loose and fell towards the two boxed in. What was left was a hole in the wall near the ceiling of the room and a crocodilian head poked through after their entrance’s completion. Quickly and one by one a small army of Kremlings entered the vicinity and leapt onto the platforms for the upper cells, passing by the electric net without notice.

Officer Blewit was still in the same spot he was earlier, not doing much in particular until the sudden entrance of the enemies. Noticing that the genus mystic had basically made a cell for himself and the wolf, which left the lone toad to defend for himself against the threat. There looked to be about ten Kremlings that entered through their passage way and for the time being it was only regular grunts, so it wasn’t too bad. Blewit rolled his eyes and pulled out a mega mushroom. “I suppose now’s a better time than ever.” With that, the mushroom headed man grew over three times his size while his head surpassed the platform for the upper cells. He leapt into the air and grabbed hold of the platforms that the Kremlings had situated themselves atop of and yanked the metal down as though it was merely tinfoil.

It caused about six Kremlings to fall into the duo’s makeshift arena. Being unsettled from their recent fall, it made them fairly easy targets. The other four Kremlings were safe on the other side of the electro net.

A wash of confusion came over Ammy as she stared into the empty elevating box. The wolf carefully edged forward to get a more encompassing look into it though once the wall was breached above her head upturned to view the group of lizards. She growled and barked up at them, bouncing momentarily up on her hind legs. Amaterasu glimpsed the electric wall blocker her from even attempting to get above and began pacing in agitation. If only she still had access to that brush technique...

With a huff and growl she turned to her purple clad ally as if to say he needs to do something about it. Thankfully their Toad friends was able to act and ascended to meet with Kremlings. The sun goddess watched intently, continuing to move about impatiently until Officer Blewit provided her with a group to hit. Instantly she set upon the nearest one with a ferocious snarl, biting down on an arm or leg whilst unleashing her readied slash across the tail of another. Her flaming disk continued swirling rapidly on her back, her jaws clenched firmly into a lizard's flesh and she began jerking back as if trying to pull a chew toy away from someone holding the other end.

Black Mage of course had a backup plan if they needed to attack foes on the other side of the electrical net. While the net would prevent passing through it, magical attacks and very fast moving projectiles would be able to get through the net with an added electric attribute. However he did not want to reveal this trick so soon and was glad to see Officer Blewit could handle himself as well as give him and Ammy some crocs to fight.

Black Mage used Haste to boost his and Ammy's speed which would not help much movement wise but here it would allow them to attack faster as him and Ammy would feel a sensation of swifter movements and light footedness. With a spin of Black Mage's staff he shot a barrage of fireballs at the Kremlings and then took out his knife and moved from one Kremling to another, slashing them with his knife.

[Ammy and Black Mage's haste has 3 turns remaining.]

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Swiftly after their descent from the rafters above, the duo of heroes enacted their vengeance on the intruders. One Kremling was preparing to lift himself back up from his fall, but was greeted with the jaws of the divine canine before he could lock his feet to the ground. The reptile bellowed in pain as the fangs of the beast tore into his scaly hide and rattled around to tear his flesh even further. After the immediate shock of the pain though, the enemy stared at the wolf intently with his slanted crocodilian eyes. With the creature so close to him, he decided to return the favour and snapped his own set of jaws at her torso. Given the size of his snout he was able to inflict such a strike fairly easily.

As for the rest of the gang of Kremlings, they too were offset by the sudden change in environment and before their claws could even tread the tiles below them fire blew in their direction. Some were low enough to the ground to avoid the attempted shot at them, but at least two caught a flick of flame to the face which wasn’t something to be overlooked. Those two remained on the ground to grieve their wounds while the remaining three took to their feet with relative ease. Their gazes shifted from the wolf to the mage in a spilt second while they decided which enemy to take on first. Between a regular looking canine and a man who’s shown to be a magic user, their best bet was to take out Black Mage first. Before they could make their advance forward though, the man speeded his way over to the three of them with incredible swiftness. The first Kritter took a slash of the mystic’s straight across the chest, but the other two were quick to catch on before he could make any more advances on them. The next Kremling in line erected his sharp talons and swung both his arms at the mystery man as soon as he tried to make his approach. The other saurian chose to back up his brother in arms as he leapt out from behind him and quickly flanked the magician from his left side. The creature whipped his snout at the man, aiming specifically for his head.

As for Officer Blewit on the other end of the electrical net, he continued to sustain his size and charged at the few lackeys that managed to fall just short of the wall that Black Mage had set up. Given that the creatures were still slightly stunned by their fall, the gigantic toad took advantage of their weakness and lashed one of his stumpy arms at them. The hit succeeded on one of them and knocked him directly into the net and giving the reptile quite the shock. The other three scaled along the ground as a true crocodile would have to avoid another attempted blow, but the mushroom man’s rebuttal to that was to begin stomping against the ground. The tremors might interfere with the battle on the other end of the net, but not too greatly. His stomps successfully landed on two of them, but one had managed to slither between his legs and in return bit the giant’s ankle.

[Cielmira]

Being unrecognized sometimes held its advantages, such as a giant lizard deciding to return her love bite by snapping down on her torso not realizing there was a flaming disk hovering on her back fully ignited. But it also had disadvantages, such as an angry lizard chomping down on her torso because he couldn't see the danger. Amaterasu saw the lightning motion, teeth glistening momentarily before tearing into her belly. The top row she was spared due to her Divine Retribution, of which she proceeded to move against the Kremling's mouth flames ever brighter as they licked the lizard's throat and jaw.

There was a second of what could have been a whimper but it swiftly turned into a long growl. Ammy bit in harder and pulled the Kremling's arm back at the same time she pushed her disk the opposite direction while it lay securely set into her prey's mouth. Tearing of her flesh occurred of course, her shining white fur darkening with red underneath, the wolf slouching down to the ground. The sun goddess began angling her flaming disk downward its fiery edge set uncomfortably against the lizard's back row of teeth, their jagged structure only helping her lock her weapon into its mouth. However should the thing begin flailing its head around it would find Amaterasu moving with it considering her inability to separate herself from the object. Should this happen it would also only help her continue tearing its arm, at which point she could release it and go to the next limb.

Black Mage however was just as quick witted if not quicker. He saw that continuing his attack would allow him to be countered so he immediately changed tactics and came to a halt. It seems they are trying to attack me from both sides... Do they seriously think a Mage doesn't have a trick to counter this? Black Mage thought to himself. Black Mage still had his staff out since his magic hand was his writing hand. Black Mage tossed his knife into the air and raised his arms in the air as a swarm of cold air sweeps around Black Mage. Black Mage knew reptiles were not the best of creatures at standing the cold so this attack was sure to freeze them almost instantly. 

However, Black Mage was not paying attention when Officer Blewit caused a tremor which, due to his low weight, knocked Black Mage into the air as the cold air still swirled around him. While he was protected by the Icy wind he was temporarily vulnerable from ranged attacks until he touched the ground and could cancel the spell.

The Kremling was quick to realize the burning sensation when he clamped down on the wolf’s body. Out of confusion and pain, he repelled after he felt the invisible flames force their way down his gullet. Along with that, the creature didn’t loosen her grip on the Kritter’s arm so he couldn’t go far. The reptile had no clue how he could even retaliate against the mysterious canine at this point. The pain was too overwhelming and Amaterasu dictated the range of his movements. He had to remove the clamp from his person and quickly, so with its knife-like claws he began to scratch at the goddess’s face relentlessly and unmindful of connecting against the creature’s eyes or snout.

As the Kremling directly ahead of the mysterious mystic went to rip his shabby robes, a wind that would freeze even warm blooded animals whipped up around his target. His body immediately froze in a pose of slashing. It’d take quite some time for the enemy to thaw. As for the Kritter that planned to assault the mage from behind, he was able to get a good smack his scaly snout against the man’s yellow hat and no doubt the back of his head. After he did though, his body was able to react to the change in temperature better than his partner apparently and he jumped back before he could even get a frostbite.

The two Kremlings that had been blasted by the sorcerer’s fireballs were finally given the time to recover from both their fall and recent attack. That meant they were free to enter the battle once more. Between the Black Mage spewing frosty air every which way and a wolf that was occupied with terrorizing a singular one of their troops, they had to choose the wolf. She was an easy target and the faster they could eliminate an enemy the better. The two looked at each other and nodded, they both had the same plan of action. Seeing how one of their fellow species had reacted to the electrical net, they were interested in knowing what would happen if a wolf were to touch it. They both charged at the white furred creature, aiming to ram it straight into the net if their hit was successful.

As for the Kritter that had recently won a battle scar across his chest, he didn’t even stand a chance against the mage’s blizzard attack and froze in place before he could even make an action.

Blewit roared at the crocodile’s bite at his leg and his immediate reaction to the creature was to sit and crush the creature under the weight of his body. It was successful of course, but after he do so his body shrunk back to its original size. “Well, I suppose power trips can’t last forever” the mushroom headed individual stated as he brushed past the four trophies of the Kremlings he had taken out. He gave a stray stare to the duo on the other end of the net. “Well, I suppose that’s as useful as I’m going to be” he stated unsure of how he really could help them any further. He supposed he could return to the general’s cell and keep watch in case of more intruders. Other than that, the net rendered him somewhat useless.

[Cielmira]

A grumble resounded in her throat as she continued jerking around the arm in her mouth, slowly tearing a larger area of the limb. She hadn't quite managed to lodge her divine instrument between the jaws of the lizard which allowed for his next move. This new onslaught Amaterasu couldn't hope to withstand and gain something from, thus she released the Kremlings arm whilst scraping her teeth across his flesh during her retreat. A few claws and narrowly missed her one eye and left a bloody trail from her ear across her cheek. The sun goddess swiftly backed out of the lizard's range and began preparing a parting shot from her Resurrection beads.

However a movement from her peripheral vision caught her attention as two of the beads began glowing around her neck. Instead of using her surprising acrobatic capabilities for a canine she held her ground and changed targets from the arm-wrecked lizard to the two charging. Another couple beads brightened to match the other two as she waited for the cold blooded beasts. Her eyes watched as they leaned down and prepared themselves for contact.

Her plan was questionable. While the sudden unexpected other worldly force to oppose them, aimed at their lower legs, there was a chance of missing considering aiming the things was difficult and they weren't much larger than an average man's fist. Thus why she had to wait until they were a bit closer than she was comfortable, but with them already having to bend down to properly push the three-ish foot canine anywhere and she was shooting their feet out from under them her hope was she would be able to jump over them once they crashed to the floor and skidded into the net themselves.

To her surprise though, when she went to make any movements of her own she found herself hastened. If only some of her ethereal beads connected she would aim to swiftly jump over that one; or both if luck would have it. If her plan wasn't enough to bring a Kremling falling to the floor but only stumble she would bolt at them and try to finish the job, making use of the Haste cast on her. If everything went poorly for her and the two larger lizards were undeterred all she could do was hold her ground. Being a quadruped with a large bulk at a low center of gravity did have its advantages. Amaterasu would resist the bull rush and latch herself onto whatever she could while smacking one of them with her divine retribution.

Black Mage landed and canceled the spell. It seemed like the Kremlings was a little distracted by Ammy and he had a plan. Since freshly fired spells would not hurt his allies unlike the Electric Net, it was time Black Mage fired his most powerful spell. It needed an intense focus in this world but Black Mage had a pan for this as well. With Haste he should be able to fire his spell at full power by his next turn, Black Mage stumbled back and leaned against his staff and began to charge, though for the Kremlings it would seem like he's exhausted, so using Ammy as his bait, he charged the Hadouken to full power.

[Black Mage's Haste has ended.
Ammy has 1 turn of Haste left.]

[Mr. Game & Watch]

The Kremling in a slashing pose remained in his frozen state.

Though as Black Mage seemed to have forgotten, there was still an unfrozen Kritter roaming around his area. In fact he was still very intent on attacking the robed individual, he was just biding his time for the moment that the magician quit his storm of frigid air. It seemed that the man was tired or something to the reptile, but perhaps he was up to something else entirely. Either way, he couldn’t let a free opportunity to hit pass him by. He charged a short range toward the mage and sent out another strike against him. This time as a swipe to his concealed face, erect claws and all.

The scarred Kremling was so enraged by his delay in movements that he couldn’t tame his temper under his restraints any longer. He busted free from his icy entrapment, sending ice shards to scatter across the room. His eyes narrowed on the magic user instantly holding a personal grudge against the man for all the pain he had inflicted upon him. He blindly rampaged toward his target and the second he got within range of him he aimed to disarm him by swatting at his hands as well as at his staff.

The Kritters that had the bright idea of charging at the white wolf were quickly met with an obstacle as they finally reached the vicinity of the canine. One apparently had very slow reaction skills and immediately tripped on the attack that Amaterasu threw at him, but the other though had appeared to have very honed skills in that field. He was able to pick up on his ally’s pain and how he reacted to moving toward their target, so he swiftly evaded by jumping to the side. His blood brother ended up skidding against the floor and nearly knocking his snout against the wolf. The one who avoided the attack however kept his distance from the creature for the sake of not knowing its capabilities. His claws were erect though, waiting for the canine to make the first movement, whether it be against him or his downed ally.

The last of the crocodilian beasts was finally relieved of his torture when the goddess let go of his arm at last. It was definitely a gory mess after all the abuse it had taken and the croc was under so much trauma from the pain that it was uncertain whether it could keep up with the fight. He kept low to the ground like it was true to his nature and threw himself at the creature that inflicted pain upon it. Perhaps he could get a bit of revenge going for it. He snapped his mighty jaws at one of her paws regardless of the damage it took last. It was already at a point of seriously damaged, he wasn’t going out without a fight.

With one fallen she proceeded with her predefined plan of jumping over him as he began to slide toward her with the momentum from his run. She hadn't expected the wounded one to lash out so viciously however and upon landing felt jagged teeth snap themselves around her back right leg, her left setting itself on its snout a bit awkwardly. Her immediate response besides a cry a pain was to brutally smash her divine instrument down on the Kremling's upper neck close to its eyes. The flames whirling erratically around the disk as it flew town her side perpendicular to the ground.

The aid of swiftness with the mage's haste was coming in handy but she could feel its vigor waning. While she wanted to make more use of it one of her legs had just been damaged. The Kremling that had taken the worst of the beatings was likely at the very least dazed by the harsh thwack she had just given it, allowing her the peace of mind to check on the one green lizard that had remained standing from her previous trick. Amaterasu would be surprised if he hadn't already started advancing. As she turned her head around to lock eyes on the creature she noted a few cracks in the floor.

Tail darkening once again she made a gamble. They were underground, thus the likely thing underneath the cement was soil. If it was soil then her plan should work. If not then the Kremling would only find feet splashed with slick black ink as his foot moved over the spot in question. Ammy timed her brush technique with the Kremlings movements over it, suddenly raising an almost instantaneous full grown tree. Should there be soil that is. The tree would tear through the cement in a second, blooming into a strong adult in only a couple more seconds. This would of course be happening right under the Kremling, hopefully catching him in its branches and propelling the lizard up with the vegetation to smack against the roof. The crackling of splitting wood would echo through the area as the tree bent and buckled with its own force against the roof, Amaterasu only hoping the force would also be rather unpleasant for the Kremling.

Should it not be enough of a crack for her brush to reach the soil beneath her opponent would only find his foot slicked by the celestial ink. Who knows, maybe that was even enough for him to loose his footing as he moved around.

Black Mage wasn't expecting the attack from the 2 and not only got hit in the face but lost his staff. "...You really think I needed that? You've just marked your grave!" Black Mage says in fury as he points both his hands at each of the Kremlings and 1 fired electricity and 1 fired well... um, fire at the Kremlings and then followed up with a Blizzard Circle. He wasn't exactly paying any heed to Ammy at this point, he was sure the wolf could handle herself.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

At last, the Kremling that was put out of the fight for about two or so phases of combat broke free of his icy entrapment. It complete the slash it had meant for the Black Mage only to notice that he was long gone from the area. The creature searched the room hectically until he spotted his brethren mercilessly beating on the mystic. The thing wanted revenge for his icy prison, so he charged at the blue robed magician. He lowered his head to make more of a ramming motion to butt the human(?) with his tough leather head. His movements began to slower as he reached the vicinity of Black Mage until eventually he froze in place once again. His head was so close to checking into the mage’s hipbone too.

The nameless sorcerer succeeded in hitting the scarred Kritter dead on the chest with his sphere of fire. While it did burn the reptilian, the blizzard wind cancelled heat out while also giving the crocodilian resistance to freezing entirely. “Pft, you guys all sound the same” the lowly lizard retorted to the mage’s death threat. Quickly after his words he jabbed his knee directly at the man’s lower abdomen. With a Kremling at every side of him besides behind the Black Mage had very little places to escape unless he jumped over the frozen Kremlings.

While getting up close and personal with the mage allowed the Kritter to get a few good hits on him, that also opened him up to attack from the man as well. The electricity from the mystic’s touch surged throughout his body and nearly paralyzed him, but it wasn’t nearly that powerful. It did mean that he was unprepared for the frigid air that swept by him and froze his hide near instantly.

The sliding Kremling missed his target as she leapt out of range and he went sliding directly into the electrical net, snout first. The shock in it of itself was enough to make the crocodilian jump back onto his feet, but the damage had been done. The electricity eventually shot him back like some sort of bullet into a neighboring wall. His body became stiff until it finally reverted to trophy form.

As for the Kritter that had his forearm brutally massacred, it absorbed the damage that the wolf had inflicted onto him. He knew at this point he wasn’t surviving the confrontation, so he was seeing it through to the bitter end. He clamped down harder on the canine’s back leg and even began to lash his head about to absolutely wreck the creature’s bone structure. The blood seeping down its throat had the taste of sweet revenge.

The final of the Kremlings watched somewhat perplexed as the canine seemed to flick some sort of ink his way. It seeped into the ground like water to soil and the reptile had no idea what was coming his way. Before he could even react though, the concrete below him began to rumble. Quickly, the thick layer of cement busted open as a gigantic tree sprouted from the ground and propelled the beast atop of it straight toward the roof of the room. The plant compacted the lizard into the ceiling, no doubt turning him back into his statue form.

There was no time to revel in the success of her gamble, the wolf finding herself thrown to the ground. For half a second her eyes glimpsed how her ally was doing. Ammy wanted to aid the purple cloaked individual more directly but this one Kremling continued to get in the way. Her lower body being pulled around by the more muscular beast there was little she could do to oppose it, her leg becoming shredded so badly it was going numb.

Her back left leg had already dug itself a spot in the ridges of the green lizard's snout and she used it as a mild stable to keep her body going with the forced motions of the attacking Kremling so her trapped leg wouldn't be the sole thing moving her around and thus limiting to a very minor extent the amount of tearing. However this was not a solution to the problem. Amaterasu curled up when it was at all possible with the thrashing motion, the wound from the Kremling's first strike adding more smears to the floor. Her own snout was wrinkled back with snarls radiating from her being as she brought herself in to attack the Kremlings face.

First her claws, outstretched and grapple ready, came to rest one on his left eye and the other on his near shoulder. In the middle came her jaws, shining white and angry they went to dig into the Kremling's lower neck. Even despite the intent against Amaterasu she refused to go for an absolute killing blow, but wasn't about to soften her attack too much and risk her own defeat. So the neck it was, but she avoided the assumed more lethal positioning. The blinding with her claws though weren't given a second thought, her other paw set to oppose what motion she could so she could remain latched and ripping into the Kremling's neck and lessen the amount it could thrash around.

At about this time the summoned tree from before peacefully erupted into an uncountable number of fluffy seeds coasting through the air as they hurriedly shoved themselves from their origin point. As there was little breeze but the spinning blizzard from the wizard they mostly hovered around the immediate caged area for a few moments, lightly tickling anything else they came into contact with and blocking sight of much of the area, then faded out of existence.

After taking a cheap knee to the lower abdomen Black Mage was now quite fed up with these Kroc. It was about time he used some more cheap fighting. The downside to not having his staff was he had to rely on an MP system til he picked it up again. There was no time to even consider attempting right now though as Black Mage moved to the other side of the Kremling that charged into his blizzard and used a Lightning Spell to push it into the Kremling to crush him against the wall and then moving to use lightning to push the other Kremling into the Electric net.

Black Mage wished he could help the wolf but she already got rid of 2 and Black Mage was busy as well. He was hoping he could get some free time to go grab his staff. He has alot more at home but only carries one with him at a time. Relying on MP is too much worry and if he ran out, he could only use his knife which would not be good.
