OoC: Brownie pie.... awesome. <3
BiC: Still in a fighting frame of mind, Bella felt someone grabbing her and turned, prepared to attack. The teen caught her arm mid-swing, holding her back. She struggled for a moment, before realizing who it was.
"Are you freakin' crazy?!" he looked at her incredulously. "That guy is WAY too powerful, and in my future vision, I saw you cut in half!"
Her eyes widened a bit. Future vision? Cut in half? What was he talking about?
"Anyways," he said, apparently unaware of her reaction to his words. "Are you okay?"
The Hylian lowered her sword, though her grip on it stayed just as tight. She nodded and looked to where the strange new man stood behind a wall of ice. "I'll be fine," she said, though her teeth were gritted against the pain in her stomach. She looked again at the man she had almost attacked. "We can't just let him get away with killing that kid." Her voice was unusually harsh, and her eyes were dark.
"I think you may be getting a bit ahead of yourself," her rescuer said. At Bella's inquiring look, he tilted his head to indicate something a little past Ipirica.
Bella turned and stared, unbelieving. There was the kid, standing and glaring at Ipirica. His head, though covered in semi-dried blood, had healed itself. Suddenly, Viratious broke the ice separating Ipirica from the others and stepped forward. "You will die today," he said, his voice full of rage and venom.
"Foolish kid, you'll get yourself killed." The response had come, not from Ipirica, but from the robed figure they had been fighting not long before. He limped over to where they stood, looking at the teen. "Sir, I need you to heal us so we can defeat this new adversary."
Bella blinked. Moments ago he had been fighting them, but now, with the appearance of a greater threat, that was out of necessity forgotten. The pain in Bella's stomach faded, and the flow of blood from her cheek stopped. She looked gratefully at the kid. "Thanks." He nodded.
They all fell to attacking the new threat, doing their best to work together -- but it was easy to see he'd still be a challenge. He fell to the ground once, but was quickly up again and ready to continue the fight.
Bella had, throughout the fight, tossed some of her cacti cuttings into the sand whenever she was not immediately concerned with attacking or defending. She poured a little bit of energy in them -- just enough to make them begin to sprout below the earth. Now she had several energy-filled plants sitting throughout the battlefield, ready to be grown up in a second. It would cause no lasting damage to their opponent, but it could help all the same.
Ipirica fell back again, and Bella, the robed man, and the kid who'd healed them fell back as well to gather themselves. Viratious continued fighting however, viciously attacking the man with everything he had.
"This should be interesting," the robed figure said, preparing to re-enter the fray.
"I'd be a lot more help if
someone hadn't destroyed all my arrows..." Bella muttered darkly.
He shot her an apologetic grin and moved forward to attack again, making no response. The tracker shrugged and rejoined as well as she saw an opening.
OoCEdit: ...you posted while I was posting. << *grumbles*
Well, let's just pretend this post happened before that one, yeah? X3 'Sides, most of the stuff in this is stuff that was happening DURING the other posts.... showing what was happening with Bella and such.
Edit again: Though technically, you'd already posted for this go-through, VN.
