[Everything goes white, almost blindingly, as you enter Eveningstar's heart.... it's so overwhelming that you forget, for a moment, what you're doing, why you're here, and details about yourself start to slip---]

[but then it all stops, abruptly, and your senses return to you]

[ SHIT

Okay now let's just shoot at anything near Star for a bit since...that's an issue. ]

[ WELL Nightshade has run for Nyssa...She's going to try to push Eveningstar out of the way of another attack (gently...sort of...) ]

[ And also swing her sword at Nyssa herself. ]

[It's not a fatal stab, but ow that looks painful and bloody! And she gets shoved several feet away. On the other hand, Nyssa deflects Io's shot.. right at Nightshade as she swings!]

[ ....SHIT SHIT SHIT ]

Hey, incoming!!

[ Going to see if she can't shoot her reflected shot out of the air/away from Nightshade...that works in some movies, okay. ]

[ Aw jeez, lasers. Going to try to avoid it (or at least, avoid any fatal areas on her body getting hit by it) and stab Nyssa again. What I don't think about can't hurt meeee ]

If Nyssa would die, we wouldn't have this problem!

[ Also going to place herself in front of Eveningstar (provided she doesn't die) with an eye to the other bad guys in the room just in case they try to attack as well. Also are those other people being hurt her friends that were screaming!! ]

[You can avoid the lasers, but Nightshade's sword goes right through Nyssa, while Nyssa herself brings that glass shard down to slash at Nightshade's other shoulder]

[Eveningstar, gushing blood, tries to free the prisoners,fumbling. But she cries out at Nightshade:]

Stop! You can't fight her!

[ ...Only shooting at Nyssa's band of monsters at this point, not Nyssa herself, since she's learned that just makes things worse. ]

Shit...there's got to be more I can do, some way to stop her...

[ Hisssss, clutching a hand over her shoulder, holding this giant sword as best she can with only the other hand. She doesn't bleed, but there's a scary cut where the shard hit her. ]

I have a wild and completely unpredictable idea. But first, we should free these prisoners while she's distracted.

[The monsters seem to go down easier, but there are so many of them....]

[Nightshade's lifebar is now at 80%]

[Eveningstar's not having much luck either]

Guys.... help me here!

Edited 2014-06-16 22:56 (UTC)

[ .....Fuck, fine, running into the fray to try and help free the prisoners. Hopefully they're not tied on there too tightly or anything. ]

[ Backing up to the prisoners with her sword brandished, then deciding whatever, and turning her back to the enemies to help get the prisoners free quickly. Stabbings be damned! ]

[ Who's tied up? ]

[All of Epona, as well as some other people you can't recognize]

[Nyssa turns to attack you!]

[ Turning to whoever's closest and trying to undo their bindings, trying her best to ignore Nyssa being there.

If the bindings are really tough and it's not too dangerous, she might try using bracelet lasers to try and break through them. Otherwise trying to do it with brute strength. ]

[ Keeping an eye on Eveningstar as they work, attempting to undo bindings and not think about being stabbed through the back, or Eveningstar jumping to help her and getting hurt again. ]

...could you help me? I'm not sure if my hands can get at these knots.

[ It's said to Star :U more distractions for her ]

[The bracelet lasers are working! A few people run away, but Star is staring in between Nyssa and ropes]

I can't.. I can't get it open! They're too strong]

[And Nightshade gets cut through the shoulder again! Her lifebar goes down to 70%]

[ ...Finally looking over in-between cutting people out to see Star's difficulty. Maybe it'd be best to get her out of danger entirely... ]

...Eveningstar, do you think you could take the others to safety? I bet they're pretty scared.

That might be a good idea. That way we don't have to worry about them getting hurt in crossfire.

[ Picks up the sword and tries to use it as delicately as one can when shooting lasers out of a glowing sword to free the last people. ]

No! I... [She seems to have come to a conclusion]

I won't let anyone hurt my friends anymore!

[and she's going to go tackle Nyssa's ankle]

[on the plus side, you got almost everyone out!]

[ If there was any hope of defeating Nyssa she'd try to cover Star, but as it is... ]

Eveningstar, no!

[ Redoubling her efforts on freeing the last few prisoners, so that way they can try to run away with them afterward or something. ]

Oh by the Light--

[ She's also redoubling efforts to get everyone out of there, because the sooner everyone Eveningstar loves is out of danger, the sooner they can pull her away from there. ]

[Nyssa summons up a shard of glass to slice all the way down her back as you two free the rest of the prisoners]

[weirdly enough, she doesn't bleed, but instead bursts into several blue flames that surround and imprison Nyssa]

[Nightshade's lifebar refills to 100% and the rest of the monsters disappear]

[ Looking very confused, like she can't tell if that's a good or a bad thing. ]

...Did that just happen?

I think so.

...I wonder if that was what needed to happen all along.

[You think you hear Eveningstar's voice. It's coming from the walls]

Thank you.

What, that she needed to explode, or that we needed to save everyone?

[ But kind of...dismissively waving off the wall voice. NO NEED TO THANK US. ]
