Solitude - Titanic Clash

Seeing the incoming Flare and recognizing it for what it is, Dagrún switches to defense. She doesn't pour all her focus into a straightforward shield - a vortex also forms briefly around her to screw with the trajectories of the multiple incoming projectiles, turning direct hits into glancing ones. These layered defenses take care of the smaller Shadowflares, but the larger Flare still partially cuts through, scorching her a bit and throwing her back.

While she's still in the air and partially obscured by the blast, her form flickers momentarily, and she lands on the ground a few steps back.

"He's throwing out Flares like it's nothing... We're going to have our hands pretty full."

Sephiroth hovers towards Dagrún at a high speed and raises his hand, creating tendrils of darkness that attempt to bind her in place. If successful, he will immediately teleport her behind himself and fling her into the air with a magical eruption, then tag out to Shaq who will aim to intercept by slam-dunking a basketball on her head.

If he fails to get the grab, he won't tag out, instead just preparing himself for retaliation.

Solitude - Titanic Clash

Dagrún appears to be bound in place by the tendrils. "Hrk... I'd make a joke about this, but-" She says as she's being teleported and flung into the air, and her statement is cut short by a high-powered basketball to the face... which makes her pop into a puff of smoke, revealing it to be a clone.

The real Dagrún then reappears to Shaq's side as she's taken a moment to charge up a close-range dragon breath, which she then lets out in his general direction.

   "Don't make it weird,"    Sephiroth snidely remarks.

Shaq is blown down by Dagrún's Breath Weapon, but he attempts to spring back up - feetfirst, at her chin, with his Kangaroo Kick technique.

Solitude - Titanic Clash

Before she can withdraw, Shaq swiftly kicks Dagrún in the chin, sending her reeling.

Rie decides to jump in before he can capitalize on her momentary dizziness, tagging out with her. Using a similar tactic to their last fight, she launches her energy blade at Shaq's basketball rather than targeting him directly, attempting to pop it and deprive him of a weapon.

"Start charging the thing - it'll be more effective if you're not too banged up." Reuben advises, which Dagrún follows on, closing her eyes to meditate. It's going to take her a while, making the battle 3v2 for the time being.

The ball pops, but Shaq just conjures another and tosses it up into the air in a parabolic arc, as if to demonstrate the action's futility. He then tries to run up and backhand Rie.

"Hmph." She runs forward a few steps, so that the ball doesn't end up eventually landing on her position with its current trajectory. She reaches out with one hand while skidding down to evade Shaq's backhand. The energy blade flies back to her hand as the two pass by each other, and with a fluid motion she swings upward, trying to catch him in the strike before he can move to defend himself.

Shaq is knocked into the air by the upward strike. He recovers in midair, though, and does a flying kick to ward off Rie from trying to follow up.

Solitude - Titanic Clash

Rie predictably parries with her energy blade to fend off the kick, stepping back to give herself room to switch to her gunblade, holding it with both hands. She goes for a three-hit combo not dissimilar to Dagrún's opener earlier - two overhead strikes from alternating angles, followed by a lunge.

Shaq is knocked away by the three-hit combo, and he tags out to "Iris!"

Iris tags in, immediately sending a blast of fire towards Rie upon landing.

Solitude - Titanic Clash

A Beehive Barrier appears to block Iris' fire, shimmering as it takes damage in Rie's stead. Unlike Dagrún's, hers seem to activate automatically. The chamber below the blade also spins a bit as it charges up a cartridge from the previous set of attacks.

She jumps and goes for a mighty overhead plunge Iris. Even if the initial attack misses, the force of her attack spreads out and causes a few pieces of debris to rise up around Rie.

She answers Rie in kind, forming her crystal barrier to block the overhead plunge. When the debris rises up as a result of the force of the attack, Iris grins, planning to take advantage of the situation.

She dispels her barrier before Rie is able to land back on her feet, then spreads her wings wide and kicks up wind from them, launching the debris right back at Rie.

Solitude - Titanic Clash

With Iris deactivating her barrier suddenly, Rie is forced to focus on awkwardly landing, leaving her wide open for the follow-up. "Shit." Lacking her teammate's prowess with telekinesis, the debris is launched right back at her without issue, with the direct hits eating up the rest of her barrier's power in one shot. A similar but finer hexagonal pattern overlays her armor as a secondary effect as it dies, hardening it to future attacks.

"Alright, that was a good one." She says as a second cartridge fills up, and she presses the trigger on the hilt to use it up immediately. With a sudden burst of speed from her jet boots, she charges again for a similar three-hit combo as before, but this time they're noticeably stronger. Shockwaves also surround and extend out from the blade, effectively extending her range while it's powered up.

Iris tries to follow up on her attack, but is then met with Rie's counterattack instead, taken aback by her sudden speed. She hastily brings up another barrier, though it's not sturdy enough and thus only blocks one of the three hits, the other two hit her dead-on and send her flying back, hitting the ground face-first.

"... well played as well.", she mutters with her face still on the ground. She doesn't get up after, waiting for Rie to attack her, and if Rie takes the bait, Iris will suddenly flap her wings once, sending a bunch of feathers her way to block her view and momentarily halt her approach.

"Sephiroth!", Iris will call out if this all works successfully, asking him for an assist.

Solitude - Titanic Clash

Rie's gunblade charges up its second cartridge once again from the barrage. Attempting to strike Iris while she's down, she triggers it again, and begins to move for a decisive downward strike. The feathers suddenly block her way before she can do so, however, and it acts as a cushion in addition to blocking her view. "Gah!" The gunblade fires off its charge prematurely as an undirected shockwave, which would probably blast the feathers back, but she's otherwise open.

Sephiroth jumps in and uses Scintilla. With a wave of his arm, he creates a Beehive Barrier of his own that absorbs the gunblade's shot and releases its power back at Rie, multiplied, in the form of a barrage of sparkling 'beams' to hopefully deal substantial if not massive damage. Scintilla's endlag is slow enough, though, that if Rie stays standing, she could hit Sephiroth before he jumps away again.

Some of the feathers are blasted away, but not enough to prevent Iris from getting back up while Sephiroth attacks.

Trying to quickly take advantage of the situation (regardless of how Rie reacts to Scintilla's counter), Iris now flies through her 'wall' of feathers, up close to Rie, and holds out both of her hands, attempting to blast her from close up with a pair of fireballs.

Beet, that one girl from the fight way back (or rather, the one who just missed it), teleport in, apparently using Instant Transmission to do so. Her wide-eyed surprise at the two of them, though, indicate she did not plan to meet up with them.

Huh...

She narrows her eyes in confusion. Am I interrupting a thing?

Then she turns to Joseph and point at Kars. Why are you hanging out with a man who seemingly sacrificed his clothes to get awesome pecs? She then ponders. Oh, and I'm Beet! Just politeness since I kinda ruined something... importan??

You seemed pretty confident in fighting him. She says.

So... Why are you enemy with some wind-spouting naked man then? Legitimately curious.
