*She fell to the ground*
*Now back on Phize's fight*
*Thash fell to the floor from his punch*
I should play this smart. I mustn't fight them two at once, no matter how good I am, the number of moves they can perform outnumber mine. My only advantage is my canceling and reversing skills.
*He examined them*
I know that woman over there must have been chosen as leader for a reason, I have to focus on her.
*She whispered to Thash*
Tara: I changed my mind. That boy might be a threat, he may have Spell Intercept and he may even be able to perform Incantationless Magic. This will be our new approach, listen closely...
They're not rushing me? They seem to be warier of me now. I assume it's because of their magic circles breaking earlier. So they may have concluded that I can cast magic without speaking. I should probably use this to my advantage.
*Tara ran to him*
I don't know her abilities, so I'm going to bait her into using them.
*He raised his right hand toward her*
*She dodged to the left and she shot rock projectiles at him*
*Clink*
*Clank*
*He blocked them with his shield*
So she can shoot me with fast projectiles, best not to bet my canceling skills on this one.
*He heard a short noise like a zap coming from his right*
*He looked and a laser came through*
*He blocked with his shield*
*He was getting pushed*
CANCEL!
*Thash's magic circle broke and his spell ended*
*Suddenly a rock projectile hit his left shoulder*
Tara: Missed.
So that's their plan? They plan to shoot me down instead of fight in close-quarters combat. Then I'm gonna have to fix that.
Phize: ROCK WALL: EXTENDED!
*The region of rock between them rose so high and it extended so much that it shook the ground and separated Tara and Thash*
Tara: Shit.
*Phize charged at her*
*She raised her sword*
Tara: Fire Aspect.
*Her sword was lit by fire*
*She released a pierce and fire shot from it and he dodged*
Phize: Let's make use of my favorite spell then. BLIZZARD!
*A magic circle formed in his right hand and from it, snow came, strong cold winds blew, and a fog formed*
*It looked like winter around her area, because of the cold weather, her sword lost almost all its flare, leaving only a weak fire surrounding the sword's blade*
*She looked everywhere, but her vision was blocked by the sudden formation of fog around her*
*He spoke from an unknown place*
Phize: Your spell's not so powerful anymore is it? Oh, also did you know that when metal is exposed to cold temperatures, it becomes brittle? Make sure not to swing it around recklessly.
Tara: DAMN YOU! SHOW YOURSELF!
*Her sword lost its flare*
Phize: Show myself? You might regret that.
I'm trying to provoke her so I could see if she has any more tricks up her sleeve.
*She kept walking around through the snow*
Tara: SHUT UP!
I guess that's all she's got. I hate to do this, but I have to beat her up.
*He saw the light flare from earlier and used that to tell her direction*
Phize: ROCK FORMATION!
*The region of rock beneath her rose and hit her chin, making her drop her sword*
Tara: ACK!
*Phize ran to her and punched her in the face*
*However, she stood her ground and tried to punch him*
*He dodged and punched once more in the cheek to the left*
*He punched her in her guts, and continuously punched her in the face*
*The snow faded and the cold weather went away*
*Tara still stood, but she barely held her ground, she wasn't even standing upright anymore*
*Then from behind her the rock heated, broke, and a laser shot through*
*It created a hole big enough for a person to pass through*
Thash: LEADER!
*He grabbed her, carried her in his arms, and dropped her off after running off for a few meters*
*Phize ran after him*
*Thash took the health of his leader as his priority*
*He touched her shoulders*
Thash: Leader, are you okay?
*Her face was beat-up, her nose and teeth were bleeding, and she also had a black eye on her left*
Thash: You'll be fine. I'll make this quick. HEAL!
*Her injuries were healing*
*Phize reached out his right hand and a magic circle formed*
Phize: AMPLIFY!
*She was healing faster and her face was almost back to its initial uninjured state*
*She stared at him wondering*
Tara: What are you doing? You're healing your opponent? Are you braindead? No matter, that'll be the reason for your death.
REVERSAL!
*The colors of the green healing magic particles inverted into violet*
*She screamed*
Tara: AAAAAAHH!
Thash: WAIT, WAIT, WHAT'S HAPPENING?
*He looked at Phize*
Thash: PLEASE STOP! WE'LL STOP FIGHTING YOU! JUST LET ME HEAL HER!
Phize: For the record, the reason she's screaming right now, is because of you.
Thash: What?
Phize: Try stopping your spell.
*He stopped his spell and she stopped screaming*
*She fell unconscious*
*He was staring at her and he stared at him*
*He didn't know what to say*
Phize: Sorry for this. SLEEP PARALYSIS!
*Thash suddenly felt drowsy and fell asleep*
Phize: I learned that from a certain cat.
I guess this concludes my experiment. It was a success.
