Corrupted Radiatons

by Michael Rogers

  Johnasire: *He raised his fingers and watched two condensed balls of bright red flames to flicker in his palms.* "CRIMSON PULSE"

  *Johnasire clapped forward and a rippling wave of bright red flames scorched past several Scoldrants, burning their wings off, causing them to violently land on the ground.*

  Johnasire: *He looked over his shoulder and noticed five Scoldrants flying towards him, readying their pincers.* "FLAMING WHEEL"

  *Johnasire spiralled the flames to each side and quickly and violently punched the ground, cueing a ring-like explosion of flames to erupt around him, blowing dirt and Kayliana's hair back.*

  Ordin: *He watched several insects rush towards him, causing him to raise his sword.* "The destructive arts number twenty nine-"

  *Ordin dropped his sword and a shockwave instantly sliced in line of his sword past the Scoldrants.*

  Ordin: "Air Slash." *He spoke in a casual-like manner and watched all of the Scoldrant's limbs fall off their bodies.*

  *Ordin looked to the side and watched Ginger cartwheel over him, as a blue glyph materialised in front of her.*

  Ginger: "AQUA LIQUID" *She landed on the ground and without losing momentum, whipped a wave of water through an oncoming Scoldrant.*

  *Ginger backflipped away and avoided a diving Scoldrant, causing her to smirk.*

  Ginger: "You are going to die! FLAME BOLT" *She landed on both feet and pushed forward as she continued to slide back, shooting ten balls of flames onto the Scoldrant's back.*

  *Ginger quickly placed her hands on the back of her waist and flicked her arms forward, watching sparks scatter around two shurikens.*

  Ordin: *He watched the shurikens violently pierce into two different Scoldrant's, rendering them motionless.* (Ginger has a rare ability for a Remenistal User, and is able to move about with a high level of evasion while casting her-)

  Ginger: *She spiralled in the air, as two Scoldrants attacked from the ground and sky.* "Yoh?" *She watched lightning flash around her fingers and she quickly threw a lightning spear in the air, jabbing the airborne Scoldrant.*

  *Ginger spiralled to the ground, landing on all fours as a light blue glyph spiralled underneath her.*

  Ginger: "POLAR SNAP" *She watched a swirl of snow spiral around the Scoldrant on the ground, freezing its legs.* "AIR SWIRL"

  *A green wave of wind slammed on top of the Scoldrant, shattering its body from its legs.*

  Ginger: *She watched the legs stand upright in the ground.* "Yeossh!"

  Kayliana: "I don't care for these excuses of a Scoldrant-" *She giggled and took a mouthful of her drink, alerting Johnasire.*

  Johnasire: *He watched four Scoldrants run towards Kayliana and they flapped their wings, flying towards her with heightened speed.* "Kay!"

  Kayliana: *She spat out the alcohol and raised her hand, flicking a spark of lightning, causing a wave of scorching green flames to burn the nearby Scoldrants.* "I want results." *She looked over her shoulder, sassily smiling at Johnasire.*

  Johnasire: "Be careful!" *He looked annoyed and quickly threw a ball of flames over his shoulder, scorching a Scoldrant which was sneakily approaching him.*

  Penny: *She looked to each side in a worried-like manner, as a swarm of Scoldrants continued to fight each other.* (I can't place all these Scoldrants in my illusions-)

  *Penny suddenly gasped with blood dripping from her mouth, cueing her to slowly look down to see two razor blade-like pincers protruding out of her chest.*

  Carrie: *She wiggled her nose rodent-like.* "Penny!" *She screeched and spread her arms, causing a thick line of blood to connect from each of her wrists.* "My Neurons! Solidify it!"

  *Carrie screeched again and the blood suddenly hardened into a glass-like substance, allowing her to hold onto it.*

  Carrie: "Blood Sword." *She fixated on the Scoldrants around Penny ignoring the fact she collapsed onto the ground.*

  Penny: (I'm... I'm stabbed?) *The Scoldrants placed under her illusion, slowly stopped attacking their comrades.*

  Carrie: *She ran towards Penny.* "Blood Slash." *She flicked her blood-made sword to each side, struggling to slice off the Scoldrant's limbs, as she continued to run towards Penny.*

  Scoldrant: "Ykytktktktk!" *It raised its pincer and dived from the sky towards Carrie, readying to jab into her head.*

  Kayliana: "LIGHTNING BLAST" *She shouted with an echoing voice and smiled, as she pushed forward a stream of bright yellow lightning into the diving Scoldrant.*

  Carrie: "Huh?!" *She quickly turned around, watching the Scoldrant explode directly in front of her, splattering its blue blood all over her face.*

  Kayliana: "Now you're manipulating the Scoldrant's blood?" *She spoke with a playful smile.*

  Carrie: "Gnark!" *She grunted at Kayliana.*

  Kayliana: *She slowly ran around, elegantly hopping at the last minute, barely avoiding the Scoldrants.* "This is Kayliana, you know what to do." *She giggled and spun around, straightening her fingers.* "LIGHTNING CLAP"

  *Kayliana bent her knees and clapped above her head, causing a warped sphere-like pulse of blue lightning to brush past the surrounding Scoldrants.*

  Kayliana: *She stood up straight and casually walked up to the twitching Scoldrants.* "Paralysing, isn't it?" *She aimed two fingers directly on a Scoldrant's head and shot a stream of yellow lightning through its skull.*

  Ordin: "The destructive arts number five-" *He sliced a Scoldrant across the waist, cutting its body in two.* "Double Slash." *He stepped to the side and sliced downwards, cutting another leaping Scoldrant in two.*

  Ginger: "HEAT LANCE" *She leant up against Ordin's back and threw two lances of fire directly at two Scoldrants, listening to their screeches fade in the burning flames.*

  Ordin: "The destructive arts number seventy four, Hard Blade." *He jabbed his sword and an aura-made extension shot through the air, cutting all six legs of an unsuspecting Scoldrant.*

  Ginger: *She watched her shurikens spiral back towards her, allowing her to catch them with ease.* "FRIGID STORM"

  *Ginger tapped the ground and watched a ring of ice shards spiral along the ground, before erupting

  into the air like a tornado, cutting the Scoldrants trapped inside of it.*

  Ginger: "Yeoshh!" *She spiralled towards the icy tornado and threw her shurikens, watching them spiral into the tornado, stabbing into the trapped Scoldrants.*

  Ordin: "The destructive arts number forty five, Javelin Jab." *He pushed forward and a shockwave hit a Scoldrant, causing it to slide backwards along the ground.*

  *Ordin pushed his sword further, causing the Scoldrant to suddenly explode apart.*

  Ginger: "GROUND SHAKING" *She stood up and flicked one leg into the air, before slamming her toes into the ground.*

  *Waves of rock shot up from the ground and crushed several Scoldrants which happened to be in the way.*

  Ginger: *She watched dirt stream from the rocks, causing her to flick her long black hair over her shoulder with an accomplished smile.* "Please respond once you have reached The Astral Plains!"

  Ordin: "The destructive arts number thirty eight, Raining Fury." *He flashstepped behind Johnasire and jabbed the sword in front, causing a Scoldrant to screech in pain.*

  Johnasire: *He quickly looked back in shock and watched parts of the Scoldrant's body explode with each movement of Ordin's arm.* (I can't see Ordin's stabs!)

  Ordin: "The destructive arts number sixty three, Hurling Might." *He threw his arm to the side and a sonic shockwave blew five Scoldrants apart.*

  Johnasire: *He looked down, staring at the debris of what remained of the Scoldrants.* (Incredible!)

  Ginger: *She wiped sweat out of her eyebrows and gasped with fixating attention towards Fordree.* "Ey, Fordree!"

  Fordree: *He looked at Ginger and grunted with widening eyes, as he leant back, closely avoiding a slash across the face.* "Whoa!-"

  Scoldrant: *It leant to the side in shock, as if it was shocked it missed Fordree with its razor-blade arm.* "Yk
tgh!" *It made an unusual sound, causing another two Scoldrants to burst up from the ground next to it.*

  Johnasire: "Yo dude, want some help?" *He opened his hand and closed it, causing a small flame-like light to flicker through his skin.*

  Fordree: *He shook his head and flicked hair out of his eyes, as he stood in a battle-ready pose.* "Arpeggio Chord." *He moved his guitar-like weapon and played several of the strings, causing zigzagged beams of blue light to blast into the three nearby Scoldrants.*

  Johnasire: *He watched the Scoldrants twitch before all collapsing at the same time.* "Nice!"

  *Fordree flicked his black hair out of his eyes and raised the guitar, causing an echoing, electric-like sound to catch the surrounding Scoldrant's attention.*

  Fordree: "Capo Smack." *He dropped to his knees and a ring-like eruption of sound blew the surrounding dirt away from him.* "No appreciation for my Remenistic Sounds?"

  Johnasire: *He punched to the side, blowing away the dirt from him.* (He's attracted all of the Scoldrant's attention?)

  Fordree: "Strumming Vortex." *He waved his entire hand across the guitar, causing the sound strings to spiral in line with his sight.*

  Kayliana: "Rock on." *She puckered her lips in a cool-like manner and rocked her head, as she listened to Fordree play his guitar.*

  Carrie: "Yhhskt!" *She covered her ears, as if the sound was piercing to her.*

  Ordin: *He watched a Scoldrant burst out of the ground directly behind Fordree and readied two of its pincers at the back of his legs.* "Behind you!"

  Ginger: "Ey?! Score Users are usually long-ranged-"

  Fordree: "Tremolo Stab." *He jabbed the end of the guitar at the Scoldrant's bulb-like eyes, watching the strings quickly and consecutively pierce into its head.*

  Scoldrant: "Ytytytyt!" *It rocked back and forth, as blue blood oozed out of its nose and ears.*

  Fordree: "My scores are not restricted to range." *He spoke with a confident, yet shy smirk.*

  Ordin: (The Roharnia induced soundwaves are very hard to see with the naked eye.) *He thought to himself in an impressed-like manner.*

  Johnasire: *He looked surprised, as something in the distance caught his attention.* "What's this?"

  Kayliana: *She took another sip of her drink and looked at Johnasire.* "What do you see?"

  Johnasire: "Another swarm!"

  Ginger: "Another? Please respond." *She spoke out of breath and caught her shurikens in each hand.*

  Ordin: *He glanced across and noticed a few Scoldrants remaining.* "We have less than ten."

  Carrie: *She felt her blue lips.* (I'm starting to run low on blood.)

  Ginger: "Ykkt." *She frowned.* "We all should use our strongest and defeat them all in one fell swoop! It is the most logical answer."

  Kayliana: "I'm game." *She spoke with a playful smile.*

  Fordree: *He smirked and nudged his guitar upwards, implying he was also interested.* (The only problem with my Remenistal abilities, is that there's no capacity level.. I can keep using my scores until I completely pass out... It's a favourable ability, but sometimes I overestimate myself.)

  Ordin: "Johnasire?"

  Johnasire: "Yeah." *He stepped forward.* "Everyone is showing off. Guess it should be my turn, too."

  Kayliana: "Your turn? I know what your Ougi is."

  Johnasire: *He smiled.* "Do you just?"

  Ginger: *She rammed the shurikens into the ground and stood up, wiping the accumulating sweat off her face.* "They're approaching! Please respond."

  Johnasire: "Now or never!" *He shouted, readying the entire party.*

  Fordree: "Ougi."

  Carrie: "Ougi."

  Ginger: "Ougi."

  Kayliana: "Grand Remenistal."

  Ordin: "Ougi."

  *Hundreds of Scoldrants swarmed out of the forest, crawling, flying and gliding towards the party at all angles, causing them to face away from each other.*

  Carrie: "Blood Bath." *She screeched with an echoing voice and watched both her arms up to her shoulders burst into swirls of blood.*

  *Carrie rushed forward, causing the swirls of blood to follow behind her.*

  Carrie: "Madness!" *She waved to the side and four knife-like cuts, whooshed past several of the Scoldrants, slicing through them with ease.*

  *Carrie frowned with watering eyes and watched the swirls of blood move to her command, as they continued to cut all the Scoldrants that were visible in her line of sight.*

  Carrie: (By mastering a certain degree of Astragons, I can break down the composition in my arms and-) *Two swirls of blood solidified and stabbed a Scoldrant through the face, before liquefying again.*

  *Carrie spun around and watched Scoldrants collapse on top of each other.*

  Carrie: (I'm able to freely use my arms without any restrictions to my movement!) *She screeched in thought, as her arm-like swirls of blood whooshed over her shoulder and sliced a Scoldrant across the neck behind her.*

  Johnasire: *He looked at Carrie.* (The death of Penny has caused Carrie to go all-out.)

  Ordin: "Focus, Johnasire."

  Johnasire: *He smiled with respect and an enormous red glyph spiralled around him.* "Recite the crimson words, volcanic courage inflame my might, four corners meet and combine-"

  *Glass-like balls materialised in the air around Johnasire and suddenly burst into bright white flames, causing the area to appear darker due to their brightness and the nearby Ougi's being used.*

  Johnasire: *He cupped his fingers and tightly held them.* "MYSTIC SCORCHING STRIKE" *He pushed his arms forward and the balls shot like comets towards the Scoldrants, burning through several of them before erupting into white flames.*

  Ordin: *He glanced at Johnasire and noticed the lights flicker off his face.* (A very impressive Remenistal User.)

  Johnasire: *He swayed to the side and pushed forward, causing several comet-like balls of flames to shoot into twelve flying Scoldrants, knocking them away from Carrie.*

  Carrie: "Ykt?!" *She screeched and watched the scorched Scoldrants hit the ground in front of her.*

  Ginger: *She bent her knees and crossed her arms over her face, as a deep lion-like roar echoed around her.* "Elemental Panther."

  *Rocks crumbled up from the ground beside Ginger and slowly connected into each other, forming a panther-like creature.*

  Ginger: "Yoesh." *She smirked with confidence.*

  Rock Panther: *It ran on all fours towards a cluster of Scoldrants and slashed their bodies with its sharp finger-like claws.*

  Ginger: "Ey, scatter!" *She spread her arms and the entire rock creature's body separated into a swirling storm of rocks, confusing the attacking Scoldrants.*

  *Ginger swayed her arms down and the rocks quickly formed back into the panther behind the Scoldrant.*

  Ginger: "Send them to The Astral Plains!" *Her words caused the panther to bite into a Scoldrant and pin two others down with its heavy rock-made paws.*
