Purple Team Finale

[voidtreckermods]

It has been a tough four days, constant fighting, snatching sleep when they can. But the town is still standing, albeit buried in snow.

The morning of the tenth day of Domino has been the same as the previous four, terrible weather, monsters throwing snowballs. Cold so heavy it is almost impossible to remember being warm.

But then there is a rumble, the snow itself seems to ripple. Then there is a lurch, as if the ground itself moved. It is strong enough to throw them down into the snow. The ground continues to shake, there is laughter in the storm, swirling around them.

In front of them something starts to rise from the ground, a block of ice, formless at first it rises up to tower above them. Up and up, as high as a house it rises before it seems to shake and ice falls to the ground. Shards of ice, sharp as razors fall down around them like rain.

When it is safe to look up they will see the ice block has form, a humanoid form. Fists like boulders, a giant made entirely of ice.

It steps forward, heading towards the town.

The giant was still, both Raven and Luke would find that it took all their concentration to keep it so. A battle in their minds, magic pushing back against Luke's force and Raven's dark energy trying to fight it off and worse trying to turn it back on them, to hold them still and helpless in the snow.

Meanwhile in the physical fight there was a satisfying crunch as Peter's foot hit the knee. The creature buckled some but did not fall.

Three snowmen have formed nearby, two begin throwing snowballs at Peter and Danny, trying to knock them down. The other makes it's way towards Raven and Luke.

Sizhui unsheathes his sword and heads for the snowmen, cutting into them and their projectiles. He reasons that if his team-mates are able to continue attacking, their foes will be vanquished sooner.

"Leave these to me!"

Bucky had been preoccupied by a few snow beasts, so he's a little late to the party. He's seen the ice giant from afar, and brought a ladder over, propping it against a house and climbing up.

He heads to the peak of the roof, then promptly runs down the slope of it, throwing himself at the ice giant -- aiming for the knee Peter damaged, to see if he can't make a bigger dent in it with his metal fist. He doesn't let himself think about all the ways this could go incredibly wrong.

Luke was so, so mentally exhausted from all this. He dimly knew that Raven had asked him a question, but he couldn't divide his attention well enough to really comprehend what she said, let alone respond. Her help eased his frustration, the sparks between his fingers easing back, leaving only the tips of his fingers burned from the effort.

Lan Sizhui cut down the snowmen with relative ease. More sprung up but with him drawing them to himself it bought those fighting the ice giant time.

Bucky lept at the damaged knee and as his fist hit it the ice shattered, the creature buckled, dropping. Raven and Luke would feel a push in their mind as the magic lashed out at them, the creatures hand came down to steady itself on one knee. The second hand moved towards Bucky, to crush him into the snow below.

It is still slow, Luke and Raven are still fighting it.

Danny drops down from the sky and slams into the hand at an angle, trying to drive it away from Bucky.

[voidtreckernpcs]

The hand cracks, splinters of ice falling away before it can get to Bucky to crush him. The giant wavers, assaulted by the magic of Raven and Luke and the physical blows from those fighting.

It looks like it is trying to get back up, despite only having one working leg.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Peter swings himself out of harms way and lands nearby, he fires his webs off again-aiming for the remaining leg and gives a might pull to try and force it on its back.

"Oh man, buddy. you're gonna have to get that looked at. Don't try to tell me that it's just flesh wound-you're definitely gonna have to favor the other leg for awhile." He says conversationally.

[lansizhui]

"Now isn't the time to tease it!" Sizhui pulls out his guqin to make quicker work of his foes, plucking the strings with icy fingers. He can't use this weapon with gloves, unfortunately.

"Finish it." his Lan teachings are about getting the job done cleaning. Despite the giant being wounded, it still had strength to do ill.

The web tangled round the giant's leg and the momentum sent it falling backwards. It crashed to the ground hard, enough that a wave of snow erupted around it, pushing outwards and threatening to knock anyone close off their feet and bury them in snow.

More snowmen sprang up, surrounding it in protection.
