[Team 3] The Cleaning Security (Demi, Amalie, Kyran, Rain)

Following her decision to rescue Adalinda from the tree demon, Amalie was satisfied to see that Kyran did not argue over who got to save the woman but instead quickly set off after the second tree demon. She had no desire to 'play the hero' in any way, she was just trying to get the job done as swiftly and efficiently as possible, all the while keeping their team leader intact. As she had approached Adalinda and explained her plan to her, she couldn't help by smirk at the woman's comments. The female Vice President of the West Fiore Trading Company certainly had her own level of 'spunk' about her. Not only trying to find amusement in the situation but showing no concern about Amalie's shards of glass. And so, as Ada had encouraged, she certainly did go after the 'big fella' for her, doing what she could to take him down all the while freeing the girl. As she confirmed with Adalinda as to whether she was ready, she heard her remark and grinned. "As long as you're having fun!" She retorted, wholly amused by the woman's reaction to the situation.

After bringing the Tree Demon crashing to the ground, Amalie would eye it for a moment, before turning to the others. She glanced over Adalinda, she didn't ask her about her wellbeing, but the woman's ice blue eyes would conciously check her over for any major wounds. Kyran had managed to take down his demon too without much issue, Amalie would nod at his comment, then hearing his question about healing, she commented. "I'm good, thanks." She hadn't actually retained any injuries thus far, which was fairly surprising considering the brutality of the fights she had engaged with. She had always been a fighter, but that had been hand-to-hand combat. It had taken the Articulation Mage some time to get caught up when fighting with magic. These fights so happened to help her assess her skillsets, and areas in which she could improve.

When Adalinda asked if they were good to go, Amalie would nod. She was definitely ready to continue, the adrenaline was still pumping through her. The anticipation for the next fight only growing, she wondered how much she would be able to take on before they became a real grind. Adalinda seemed to suspect that they would be getting a little break as they walked, although this prediction quickly fell short of true as she froze. Concentrating for a moment, only to announce that more of their 'death stench friends' were nearby. Amalie prepared a few fresh orbs for them to use. Commanding one of them to form around her head. Tammy would shoot upwards to scout the region once more, Amalie waited keenly for the result. As the exceed returned and began to explain what she could see, Amalie's eyes lit up. At the mention of the word 'nest', she shot Kyran a devilish grin. It had been him after all that had initially mentioned hoping a nest, he had put it out there and the universe had delivered. The Exceed continued to explain that there was some sort of town or abandoned community not far from them, filled with quite the list of monsters. Reeling them off one by one, Amalie could feel her excitement growing, now this was going to be a fight.

Amalie would follow quickly after Adalinda, her shards began to appear her as they walked. Like a swarm of bees, growing greater and greater in mass. Practically humming with eagerness, as they reflected their caster's desire to fight. As they reached the town, Amalie would see Adalinda throw herself into the fray and follow suit. She kicked off the ground, taking flight once more. The Articulation mage would dart forward, twirling through the air. The glass flying along her body in a streamlined fashion. She swooped up, coming to a stop, she would throw her arm out, pointing her sword-wielding arm towards a group of Grass Vipers. Her shards would burst forth towards them, slicing three of them to shreds in a matter of moments. She would glance around, she spotted one of those rotting plants. She swooped down towards it, landing in front of it. She raised her palm towards it, releasing a burst of fire towards it. The flames quickly engulfed the stinking creature. Reducing it to a pile of ash, Amalie turned away swiftly, ready for the next target. As she spun, she spotted a collection of creature making they way towards her; one of those rose creatures, a tree hunter thing and bone chargers. Huh this many at once... She smirked to herself, running her tongue over her teeth in anticipation.

The hunter was closest, so Amalie went for that first. Moving upwards towards the tree monster, she used its arm to swing herself under the creature. Thrusting her rapier up into its belly, before releasing a burst of magical energy from the sword. Tearing a hole into the stomach of the beast. She pulled the sword back, and place her palm over the hole. A horde of shards materialized in front of her fingers and poured themselves into the wound. Burying themselves inside the belly of the beast. It would hack away at the wood inside. Amalie swooped back around the creature, sitting herself casually down on it's back. She crossed one leg of the other, resting there for a moment as her glass did its work. Within moments, the hunter would begin to crumble to the ground. Falling to the ground with a crash, Amalie still sat quite comfortably on it's back. She scooted herself up off of the now dead creature and strode along, what was next again? Oh yes, the Rose and the Charger.

As Amalie turned to look upon the Rose, it's body was surrounded in a cloud of gas. Amalie spoke quickly, casting her next spell. "Harden." Her skin would quickly transform, hardening and becoming clear. Sparkling like a diamond all of a sudden, she shot backwards away from the rose. But not fast enough as they were a spark, followed by a giant explosion. The air erupted in flames, and Amalie was blasted back several metres. She rolled for a moment, before skidding to a halt, her heels pressed deep into the earth from the force of the blow. She took a moment to collect herself, thanks to her diamond skin, she was okay. The added layer of protection meaning that she wasn't actually harmed. Although she glanced down at her newly charred uniform, patting lightly at it to put out any remaining embers. She wasn't going to need to request a new one after this, even her handiwork with a needle couldn't repair burnt clothes. She tutted in slight irritation. Before glanced up at the Rose, eyes narrowed slightly. She glared at it for a moment, almost appearing to do nothing. The creature seemed to take them as a sign to attack and began scuttling towards her. Perhaps it was the fact it had landed a hit, but the beast pay little attention to anything but her, keen on the concept of killing her off. Had it paid more attention, it might have noticed that the sky rumbled slightly, and from the clouds, a single giant fireball came bursting out. Soaring towards the creature, slamming into the beast. It screeched loudly as it erupted into magical fire. Amalie smirked in satisfaction. "That's for my uniform." She quipped.

They were the pounding of footsteps and a snarl moving in from her right. Amalie twisted towards the last opponent, the remaining member of the group. Amalie bit her cheek thoughtfully as it ran towards her, she remembered that this beast was weak to fire. But she'd just used those spells on two of her prior opponents. She would need a moment before she could use them again, by which point the beast would likely be open her. She quickly came to the conclusion that she would need to use a different strategy for this Charger. She flexed her fingers and more glass would appear. Shooting forward towards the beast, it would swarm it, slowing it's approach. Amalie stretched both her palms once more, summoning another set of electrically infused whips. She stalked towards the creature as it swatted at the glass angrily, she threw the whip in her right hand, lassoing it around the creature's waist and left arm. She then followed suit with the left, this times the whips multiple tails wrapped around the right arm and throat. Holding the beast in place as it shocked it with its electrical currents. An air bubble would begin to form above the creature, slowly lowering over the skull of the beast. Unlike the air bubbles she had made for herself and the others, this one would act differently. The air inside the air bubble would grow toxic. Poisoning the creatures, robbing it of oxygen and replacing it with a lethal miasma that would soon render the creature lifeless.

As the creature fell to its knees, it's struggled against her whips. Trying hard to pull away, it's movements would become erratic, almost desperate. Then after a moment, the monster's attempts would begin to grow more feeble. The magic doing it's job and draining the creature of life. It would fall down dead, collapsing to the ground with a loud thud. Amalie cocked her head at it, retracting her whips, glass and globe spell. She turned to see how the others were fairing. That had been quite a horde, and she had enjoyed it. Even getting blast by that one rose, thanks to her magic she had been able to take it without consequence and it only spurred her on for more.

It was just a shame that there wasn't anything stronger to fight.

Amalie's Stats:

As Kyran commented to her she glanced over with a wide grin that sparkled as brightly as her diamond skin. "You would consider this work? Feels more like playtime to me."  She remarked back before continuing on with the fight. There was level of honesty in her word; It didn't really feel like that much of a grind to her. Perhaps it was because she had spent most of her life-fighting due to the 'pits'. It was almost second nature to the woman when one got used to having to survive, it became easy. Plus, she was enjoying herself far too much to really consider this work, the thrill of testing her strength against another being, even disgusting monsters as these. Being able to defeat them with such ease, it was a testament to their strength as mages. There was a small sense of glory to be taken from such wins.

As the fight seemed to end fairly quickly, Amalie approached the others once more. Keeping her diamond skin intact, there was no point wasting the spell now that she'd used it. Also, she had a feeling this wouldn't be the last wave of monsters they would face.  At least, she hoped it wasn't. She nodded in agreement with the redhead, it was pretty disappointing for a nest. "Perhaps it's something to do with the humans that lingered here, the creatures seemed more inclined to attack us humans than to fight each other. Maybe they simply enjoy killing humans, or perhaps human flesh makes for good sustenance, a human village would be the ideal place to lure out more humans to eat or kill." She stated, glancing around, it was quite an assumption but, she was sure if they explored the abandoned homes they'd likely turn up a few human skeletons. Not that she cared to explore; if she on the first team she would have, as that would have been her job. But their team's tasks was solely based on eliminating the enemy, so that's what she would focus on.

Adalinda was stating her views on the matter before she was interrupted by the appearance of a new enemy. Amalie glanced up at it, her ice blue eyes widening slightly at the sight of it. The creature was magnificent, a large white reptilian body, and black underbelly. A wingspan of over fifty feet, and golden claws. Compared to the monsters they had faced so far, it was actually quite majestic and beautiful. Amalie had seen a dragon before, or at least a human turned dragon. But even so, this didn't take away the awe she felt in seeing the beast. Now this is what I've been waiting for. She thought. There was the sound of monsters moving in on them in the distance, that drew the women gaze away from the Wyvern. She eyed the monsters, flexing her fingers with excitement. She wanted to get to that Wyvern, but she needed to help thin this horde first. She laughed at Adalinda's comment.

"Not a chance in hell I'm running now!" She remarked back, it was at that moment the Wyvern flew down, releasing a blast of brilliant blue flames towards them, Amalie kicked off the ground, soaring up into the sky high enough to avoid the attack. She eyed the carnage the flames left in their wake. It was such immense power. She glanced toward Adalinda, hearing her strained cry. As she opened her eyes again, they had changed, appearing like the eyes of a dragon. When she spoke, her voice sounded different, much deeper than before. Tammy called out to her, only referring to her as 'Veles'. Was this some kind of creature that existed inside Adalinda? It was a possibility that Amalie was only mildly surprised by, having learned that she too was the host to some form of being. It turned out this was more common of an attribute than the woman had initially realised. The 'being' referred to themselves as a dragon, from which Amalie could only speculate had something to do with Adalinda's magic itself. They would state that they would attempt to 'land' the dragon. Amalie would nod, "Hogging the fun huh? Fine, I'll do a bit to thin the herd, but once I've had my fill, whether it's landed or not, I'm coming to play."

Amalie didn't wait to see what Veles did next, instead, she turned in the air, moving with great speed towards the horde of monsters that were approaching. She swooped low towards the ground, extended her sword up, she swept through the group of grass vipers. Her blade pointing towards the group, releasing a blast of pure energy. Two of the vipers disintegrated into nothing from the force of it. She didn't pause, continuing on towards a Charger. She turned her sword towards the beast, releasing another blast of energy, which hit the creature directly in the chest. Causing it to stumble back a step. Amalie didn't stop, as she flew closer, the creature swiped at her with its lethal claws. To which she would roll out of the way, swooping under its arm, she would pull her fist back. Punching her fist directly into the point of which her sword's magic had hit. The bone cracked, allowing her fist to pass through. Summoning her fire, Amalie released a burst of flames into the beast. Burning it from the inside out. The creature let out a screech as it's crumbled to the ground. Amalie kicked away from its body, moving around the fallen beast to another target.

The Flatland hunter would be her last target, this was at least a third of the horde, which was her fair share as far as the blue-haired woman was concerned. She swooped under the gap between its legs, spinning in the air to face the creature's back. She would spread her palms, summoning two more electrical whips. She would throw them both back before whipping them forward, lassoing them around the creature's waist. She would rest her feet on the creature's back, pulling the whips tight. They would both release a series of currents through the creature's body. Burning away at the area it gripped, all the while Amalie's shards materialized around her, soaring towards the beast it chopped away at the region the lassoes were gripping onto, weakening the area. Amalie yanked the whips as hard as she could, causing them to tighten even more. The wood and fauna that made up the creature's body began to crumble, giving away after a moment. The whips snapping it completely in half, the top half would sink to the ground with a loud crash, the light fading from the creature's glowing eyes. Amalie moved away from the beast, she would land for a moment, turning towards the others to see, with hopeful eyes if the Wyvern was still alive.

To her relief, it was. Also, it seemed that it was accompanied by another dragon, this beast made entirely of iron, it was quite large too. It only took Amalie a moment to realise that this was Adalinda. Huh, it was an intriguing observation, did all dragon slayers have the ability to turn into dragons? It was a question she would have asked. Was she not more excited about taking on that wyvern."Ready or not, here I come." She remarked playfully, her crystalized features splitting into a grin once more. She couldn't help herself, she was too keen to get involved in taking down the beast. With a burst, she launched herself off the ground towards the Wyvern. Regardless of whether Veles had successfully landed it, Amalie would move her fingers in a flexing motion. Causing her magic to ripple through the air once more, the sky would begin to rumble a little more fiercely. And a ball of fire would descend from the sky, moving towards the Wyvern and hitting it directly in the spine. The beast let out a fierce roar that carried through the air with tremendous ferocity.

Amalie didn't stop however, she continued towards the creature, swerving to avoid its powerful tail. She would carry herself over it's back, pulling out her sword, she brought it up with both hand. With a loud cry, she thrust it down into the beast shoulder. It wasn't easy, the beast's skin was hard to break through. Amalie grit her teeth, pushing the sword down with everything she had into an attempt to bury into deep enough to keep it in place. It certainly wouldn't kill the beast, in fact in terms of damage, the sword would barely make a scratch to such a strong monster. However that wasn't its purpose, Amalie had a different reason for stabbing the creature. Once it was deep enough not to be dislodged by the monsters movement, Amalie would kneel down, gripping on the sword's hilt tightly. Her shards of broken glass would begin to manifest around her. Like a horde of insects, they grew greater and greater in mass. Surrounding the beast they would begin to move around the body of the beast. Slicing away at it relentlessly, all the while they caster rode the beast with the help of her embedded rapier. At this point she would look the others, she knew that the most efficient way to kill this beast was to take it out together. Even if it would be a lot of fun, to face it by herself. Even if this was more play than work for the woman, she had to go about it in the smartest manner. At the end of the day, this was still a job, and they were still her team.
