106. Promises

Hey guys, listen up. If you see anything that looks like a huge ball of lightning, a giant...mole, a really muscular guy with four arms, or a really old guy using magic, you've gotta let me know right away. They could be dangerous.

[There are others, but they're harder to describe and, while they could be equally as destructive, they're not as prone to widespread destruction as Volt, Gnome, Origin and Maxwell might be. ...Especially Maxwell, he'd enjoy himself.]

Be on the lookout for summon spirits. I've already found one of them. ...They fight back. [In the background, Undine sounds a little indignant.]

[Knowing, now, that any of them has the potential to be here, Sheena's combing the areas around the village for any signs of wayward elemental destruction. Most of the time, Undine will be with her, hopefully to help her handle any trouble she runs into.]

Any of them might cause trouble. Some are just more likely than others.

Sounds like a lot of stuff from back home. Either way, we'll get through th-

[About at that time a gout of flame can be seen being shot behind him in the background. He'll spin around.]

Hey! I'm on the phone here! You want to rumble, big guy?!

[...There may be a familiar figure nearby for Sheena. A big, angry looking red fellow.]

[Oh damn.]

Efreet! Don't attack him!

[Another gout of flame head towards the journal, and the video feed shows Adell rolling out of the way before the blast hits him. By now, though, Adell's taken on an orange glow of his own.]

I don't know if he didn't hear you, or if he didn't care, Sheena! He's pretty pissed off!

Where are you?

Community One! What's left of it anyway!

[And now Efreet's drawing in close to get into melee.]

So got tired of just hanging back?! Bring it!

[Adell's going to drop his journal here and the feed cuts out. He's going to have his hands full for now.]

[She doesn't need to talk to him anymore. She's too busy sprinting to community one, dodging possible pitfalls with excellence she almost never displays. Adell and Efreet are suddenly up ahead, fighting each other.]

Never thought I'd wish for Yuan. Adell, look out! [Because she's coming in in front of him to knock away one of Efreet's punches. It was pretty clear Adell wasn't gonna be able to dodge that one]

[Adell looks a little surprised when Sheena appears and diverts that punch. Not that he minds. But with the punch diverted, Adell throws one right back at Efreet, trying to knock him back and away.

...Actually, with the power cap gone, Adell might hit hard enough to do just that.]

[Sheena's probably the most shocked of everyone when Efreet actually does go flying backwards. Not far, but far enough for her to pull out a card and turn to face him]

Efreet! As your pact-maker I command you to stop!

[Usually he likes the formality. This time, he just comes at her with a hit that throws her off into some broken bit of ground. ...Good luck right now, Adell.]

Sheena!

[...That tears it, you son of a gun. You can try to deck him and set him on fire, but you do not hurt his friends. Adell lunges forward at Efreet and decks him at full power. Punching a fire spirit with fire is a bad idea, so he's just making do with raw force. And make no mistake, there is a lot of that going into that blow. Of course, Adell will roar hot bloodedly at the Summon Spirit as he does so.]

You heard her! Knock it off!

[Fighting humans (loose term) with fire is a good idea. Efreet's return punches will all be burning ~~to oblivion~~.

Sheena will just be trying to re-orient herself over here.]

I'm okay, I'm fine! Be careful!

[Adell's fought plenty of things that use fire. Granted, Efreet's flaming punches are strong. And though he eats one of them head on, Adell doesn't look too worse for the wear. That next punch Efreet throws at him? He meets it with a flaming punch of his own to shield his hand from the heat.

They look almost locked together, trying to push each other back.]

[Watching someone do alone what it took her at least four people to accomplish is pretty distracting.]

[Eventually, the two force each other apart, and they temporarily stand, glaring each other down. That only lasts a moment though, until Efreet lashes out with his fist and knocks Adell a good distance back.

Disoriented for a moment, he shakes it off just before Efreet can follow it up with another attack, dodging it by mere inches.

But that's when Adell counterattacks... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK4cxf40VIg#t=2m35s)

After completing the attack, Adell leaps backward and readies himself for another possible attack.]

[If it ever comes up again, this is the point where Sheena decided a rematch might not be such a good idea after all. But since they're at a momentary pause, she'll try the word method one more time]

Efreet, you have to stop! It's not Adell's fault!

[Adell remains in defensive stance, but will move to intercept Efreet if he attempts to hurt Sheena again. If she can talk it down, that's all the better...]
