[QUOTE="megamania, post: 1359129, member: 9255"] STRIKEFORCE: MORITURI SEGMENT 033 “Batuu” The lightning blast blows chunks from the back of the earthen beast. The sound of crashing rock emits from its head-like knob. Vander powers up augmenting his strength and speed first. Then he increases his ability to shrug off physical blows. All the while watching for actions from the barbarian natives. They have fled screaming something that sounded like Batuu. Christina has faced elementals before. Never one of this size and magnitude however. She briefly wonders if it is an elder before moving away from its hulking mass. Jean hits it again with a bolt that flashes and glows afterwards as it runs along the copper and gold within its form. “Any thoughts?” whispers Jean as her voice continues to roar like a giant’s. “Go air borne. It loses its main advantage that way.” Vander doesn’t like it. He loses much of his leverage while in the air. He does so anyway however. Christina tries a flame strike at it. The creature rumbles at the insult. It melds into the ground, all 40 foot of its height and mass. Then it erupts from the ground and strikes Christina whom has hovered too close to the ground. The blow causes her to careen up and away from the fight. Vander lands on its “head” and gives it a solid blow. His falchion strikes and releases its psionic enhancements and electrical charge inside the body. It doesn’t register the attack. However, the refined metals with psionic enhancements dose register with the creature. A very hungry creature. It reaches up for Vander whom suddenly finds his awesome weapon is becoming covered with earth and stone. “This weapon is …NOT…TO…BE…YOURS!” A contest of strength begins over the weapon. Jean, fearing she will strike Vander wants to change her tactics. But how? It is ignoring her cold and seems to be immune or resistant to her lightning. Rain will do little to it due to its size. Christina tries to strike at it with her heavy mace again. Mother releases her anger on the creature. Waves of Fire, Cold and Electric strike it along with the mighty physical blow. The creature continues to try to capture Vander’s weapon. “I…WILL…NOT…BE…DENIED!” Christina continues to strike at it. Chunks of earth and rock break off with each strike. Jean tries to use her last sonic attack which shatters many gems on its surface. One gem is worked to the surface near Vander. Finding his strength is too evenly matched, he reaches down to the gem. He focuses on it exciting the trapped energy within it. BOOOOM! Vander, falchion in hand is sent flying away. The creature is nearly split in two and staggers, then falls onto the ground breaking up. The individual parts seep into the ground. Batuu has had enough. “Where is the Captain and Jim?” asks Christina. [/QUOTE]
