A sickening set of crackling and gurgling noises began to erupt from the flower-youkai's mangled body. Flowers were encasing her broken limbs and setting them straight.
Suddenly, a dozen sunflower stalks burst out of the vine rings and spiraled into a cage shape, about to ensnare anything that moved inside the circle. These were could be easily cut and susceptible to fire, but the steely vines were still making their way inwards...
Yuuka sat straight up, giving a full view of her regeneration. Stems were in the process of replacing her blood vessels, leaves were coiling themselves between bone to make muscles, all the while blood oozed out of unrepaired parts. Her legs were thick with vines and her body was wreathing in flame, head to toe. Yuuka staggered to her feet, a smile plastering over her face...or at least, with her cheeks missing, two menacing rows of teeth set in a broken jaw.
Ravage frowned, alert at the sudden expletive. "What is it?" he demanded. "What have you discovered?"

The Danse Macabre CodexBlink saw this happening, and briefly, her expression shifted to one of shock and a little bit of fear.
She shook it off and threw her hands out, plams facing towards the two enemies.
"You've got to stop fighting right now! It's not good!" she said, her desperation to keep the fight from restarting growing.
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up.""Are you two fools done?" demanded Mal-Keshar.
On empty crossroads, seek the eclipse -- for when Sol and Lua align, the lost shall find their way home.- a projection appears inside Ravage's head at the same time as on Saren's omnitool; From what the scans display, Blink's interior is mostly composed of... plasma? Starstuff? Psionic clusters? It flowed through the flesh like water through a sponge. The bottom line: Not human.-
Please tell me if this goes too far

"He could not know it. For it was not all a joke."Any cries or words that tried to reach Yuuka were in vain - her instincts driven her too far gone from normal senses...As if she was normal.
Yuuka began a slow, unsteady shamble towards Bowser, joints cracking and bloody bare feet squishing against the ground. 6 sunflowers shot towards Bowser's arms while another dozen wrapped around the cage. Any stray flowers ignored Blink, who wasn't her target.
"It seems she didn't get the message", told the Lich to the others. "I will now fry her." He started casting, and bolts of shadowstuff flew towards the flower-spirit.

He glanced towards Blink, keeping his expression cool and composed in order to mask his suspicion.
Is she one of them? the Predacon wondered.
The Danse Macabre CodexMal-Keshar's snake head turns towards Saren while he continues to cast his shadowstuff bolts at Yuuka, and says: "Hello there, Mr. Whatever-you-are. Are you here to join the fight or stop it?"
On empty crossroads, seek the eclipse -- for when Sol and Lua align, the lost shall find their way home.Stop it...
- A wave of biotic miasma lifts both of the combatants into the air, Saren glaring up at them-
I. HAVE HAD. ENOUGH. OF THIS SHIT!
-Saren clenches his fists, and both of them feel a crushing weight pressing down on every inch of their bodies-
You spar. Anything more than that, and not even magic is going to save you. Now, are you going to act like good sapients when I bring you back down?

"He could not know it. For it was not all a joke.""To stop it, 'twould seem. Most helpful."
On empty crossroads, seek the eclipse -- for when Sol and Lua align, the lost shall find their way home.Blink, apparently frightened by Saren's sudden yelling, froze up for a moment before abruptly teleporting away.
Gordon came to a halt a few feet from the floating combatants. His shotgun was at the ready. For a second, he'd thought that Saren was going to attack Blink, of all people, from the muderous expression on his face.
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."At Blink's disappearance, a feral grin spread across Ravage's face. He had her scent now...
"Beast mode," he muttered, and in less than a second the Predacon had converted into his jaguar form. The air rippled around him as he engaged his cloaking device, and the panther took a deep sniff, swiftly isolating the teleporter's scent.
Ravage began to pad after Blink, stalking her much like his beast mode template would stalk prey in the sweltering heat of the Amazon rainforest. He wanted answers, and he would get them—now.
The Danse Macabre Codex"We were sparing! No our fault that it's more violent that what you're used to!"
"And you call that crushing? I had entire mountains fall on top of me, this is nothing!"
This entire time Bowser was dripping lava, looking none the worse for wear, except his face looked like he was interrupted from having a bath. A good bath as well.

Mal-Keshar's voice turned cold and menacing: "Do you want me to flay you alive? And to rise your corpse afterwards, as a Draug? You've seen what I did to Yuuka. I can do it to you, too."
