Before you can act on her temporary weakness, you decide to act on yours first! Diving out of the way of a cluster of flickering moth-like lights, the lab is enveloped in a blinding flash as the spell hits the door behind you! What’s the matter, you smirk as the witch brings her hand back to send a cone of cold your way, I thought magic was your <span class="mu-i">jam!</span>
“Puns,” She scoffs as a blast of ice and frost bursts forth from her fingers, “One of the lowest forms of comedy… How very <span class="mu-i">droll</span>.”
Having already evaded the blinding spell, your friends have little trouble evading the cluster of jagged ice rushing through the water as well! Spreading through the water like a virus, the icecapades are cut short when both Art and Talbot smash it back towards the sender–the former with his staff, the latter with a handy chunk of debris!
You know this might be a little <span class="mu-i">jarring</span>, you continue as the witch blinks to avoid the hunks of ice headed her way, but you’re <span class="mu-i">berry</span> good at what you do!
“That’s ENOUGH!” The witch roars as she reappears with renewed fury in her eyes, “Now receive your PUNishmen-damn it all, now <span class="mu-i">I’M</span> doink it!”
Snarling in self-contempt, the witch sends her last spell flying towards you from the tip of her finger! Whipping through the air like an enraged snake, a trail of fizzling green magic barely misses you before coming around again behind Art and Talbot!
“Look out!” Sybil shouts as the two turn to face the spell, “Get to the si-”
The snake strikes before Sybil can finish her sentence! Darting past the two boys, the viper-like trail of light cuts across the room and spears itself into Sybil’s chest like a wayward arrow! Before she can react, the girl explodes into wild convulsions as green energy crackles up and down her body!
“<span class="mu-s">SYB!”</span>” Art roars as he rushes over to assist her! Gazing at him through pinprick-sized eyes dripping with tears, the goth slumps to the ground with a pitiful whimper just as the Rent-A-cop reaches her!
“Well what do you know,” The witch cackles as she reappears behind Art and Sybil’s still-convulsing form, “The <span class="mu-i">NOVICE</span> didn’t predeect where the spell would go. Colorink me surprised...”
“Shut the <span class="mu-s">HELL UP!</span>” Art roars as he swings his staff at the High Scholar! “You stay away from her or I’ll-”
“You’ll <span class="mu-i">what?</span>” Giggles the witch as she easily floats between Art’s wild strikes, “<span class="mu-i">CRY</span> at me? Please, mister preemative, have mercy on me–I beseech thee!”
Firing a burst of <span class="mu-b">ARCANE BOLTS</span> from his staff, Art keeps ‘em coming despite the witch effortlessly deflecting them all to the side with mere gestures of her fingers! “For what eet’s worth, that was really brave of her to take the blow for you… oh wait,” she mutters with mock surprise on her hooded face, “I meant to say ‘<span class="mu-i">STUPID</span>’. VERY STUPID!”
