All Eliese needs is one clean shot...

Permalink

Hard to get! Four's  fast, and in Intoner mode more often than Zero - something Five hadn't been doing - 

Permalink

And Septa's a much more active participant in this fight than Hex was - she's also a participant who's keeping track of both Daniella and Eliese, attacking them if they seem likely to threaten Four. (She's not entirely capable of actually keeping up with the Intoner fight, especially when both Intoners accelerate into full glowy mod; she's good enough to make sure that doesn't entirely matter.)

Permalink

Well, you don't get to be her age without learning a few tricks. Most of which are, admittedly, off the table for now. But she did once spend half a decade with a kinethetist developing some foundational principles for a superpowered martial art. Let's see how well Septa's apparently innate talents stack up to that.

Permalink

Better than they have any right to! 

...But not quite well enough. 

Permalink

Give it another five to ten years. For now, Eliese is taking her out of the fight.

Hopefully that opens things up some.

Permalink

Enough Zero can pin Four long enough for Eliese's spell, at least.

Permalink

Finally. She snaps it out brusquely, descending to touch down on the deck.

Permalink

And Four crumbles.

Permalink

Does that mean they won?

Permalink

Well, the music fades, and the demon vanishes, and the weather seems to be calming - luckily the airship still works, so Zero doesn't plummet out of the sky - so seems like it. 

Permalink

Yay!!

Permalink

Eliese will check that Four's all right.

Permalink

She's breathing, though she looks like she's in pain.

Permalink

Hm. Breath is a good sign. And Septa?

Permalink

Also breathing! And all around in better shape.

Permalink

Fits the pattern from last time, then.

"Do you want to watch these or find the controls?"

Permalink

"I'll find the controls."

Permalink

"As you wish."

Eliese will go sit near Four, then. And press a mild sense-dulling spell onto her. It's the closest thing she has to a painkiller.

Permalink

That doesn't seem to do much to settle the restlessness.

Permalink

More will have to wait until she's lucid enough to talk. And speaking of more, Eliese will cancel her extra enhancements. Start letting her well of power trickle back to full.

Permalink

Zero figures out the controls soon enough, and steers their ship over to pick up Five.

Permalink

Who immediately comes over to check on Four. "How's she doing?" she asks Eliese, quietly.

Permalink

"Worse than you, I think."

Permalink

"What happened? She should be stronger than me..."
