Dig-Dugtrio (Mod)

[Nisha Dovickssen]

Nisha decided to broaden the search out just a bit. Instead of lingering the same old comfortable locations, the woman made her way further into the Shadow-infested lands. Her travels brought her to the mines. For the most part, the facility seemed empty. Shadows were few and far apart, and there were no signs of anything worthwhile. Still, in a place like that, there were probably still some threats- things that could be dangerous to others. She'd give it a thorough examination before dismissing it entirely. That was her responsibility, anyway. She hadn't even really met that many people and actually spoken with them, yet she desired to protect them. If nothing else, it at least gave her a purpose with that strength she had.

And it seemed that keeping her wits about her was a good thing. Hopping back as something soared at her, the woman only barely avoided a blast of wind that split the ground where she had just been stepping. Not one, nor two, but three golden Shadows appeared. The sensations she got off of them were beyond what she felt when fighting normal Shadows. They were powerful- obviously so, as she had not sensed them until the last second. They had completely concealed their presence. The woman would not let her guard down, nor would she allow herself to give in to despair. Their presences might have been concealed before the confrontation, but she would prevent the conclusion from being concealed.

Drawing Shango's card into existence and shattering it, she had the entity unleash the best possible move they had available currently- Heat Wave. The blast of kinetic energy and heat swarmed the Shadows, but one jumped over the attack completely. Of the remaining two, one seemed to take full damage and the other seemed to take especially nasty damage. In response, one put up what seemed to be a barrier- that one had taken the full damage. The other, the one that took extra damage, balled up into a fist before flying at her. She narrowly dodged. Part of her jacket was ripped simply from the kinetic force behind the blow. The one that opened up the fight had dodged her first blow, and she was wary of that barrier for some reason. Whether it was women's intuition or instinct was beyond her, but she knew better than to ignore it. Instead, she decided to test out her lightning. Even if something bad occurred, she and Shango resisted it.

Directing the entity to blast simply yellow hand, Nisha began to stride to the side, keeping her enemies in her sight as the lightning dealt major damage to the hand. So one was weak to her strike blows, while another was weak to lightning? That was great, really. Almost made her hope the other was weak to her crowbar. She had little time to be hopeful, though. The metallic hand flew at her again. Crossing her arms, she took the blow. Then, grunting, she gripped two of its fingers, much to its surprise, and used it as a shield as the other two fired their attacks at her. Wind slammed into the back of the hand, then fire. Both seemed to hurt the hand, so taking its attack was a worthwhile sacrifice. Then, shoving it away, she observed the situation. It looked as though the barrier from before was gone. She then willed for Shango to use another Heat Wave.

The blast of force did in the metallic hand. It also connected with the silver hand a second time. The normal-yellow hand, again, dodged. What a bothersome thing it was. Charging forward as the yellow hand healed itself and its ally, she grabbed it by one of its fingers. Disregarding common sense, she used her herculean strength to sling the yellow hand at the silver hand. Not only did the silver hand's blast of fire get soaked up by the yellow hand, but the yellow hand slammed into the silver one. Then, willing for another Heat Wave while the two were turned, she watched as Shango's attack collided into both of them, knocking them into the wall of the mine. For a moment, Nisha took a chance to catch her breath. These were just as dangerous as the one titan she fought before, but more so, considering that she was stronger than she had been back then.

The yellow hand slowly stood back up and fired a wind blast at her. It nailed her. Stepping back as she regained her footing, she charged in again, watching the silver hand start to rise and focus. She grabbed the yellow hand by its thumb and middle finger. Then, charging at the silver hand as it fired off another blast of fire, she used the yellow hand as a shield again and then used it as an awkward battering ram, driving both Shadows into the wall before hopping back. She willed for Shango to fire off another Zionga at the yellow hand while it was stunned. It had taken a beating, and, when that lightning crashed into it, it finally faded. That left her with the silver hand- a one-on-one fight with the barrier-creating fire-user. She had taken two blows. The hand had taken a few. One exchange, perhaps two, would end it. She charged.

Awkwardly shifting to the side and nearly tripping over due to her size, she managed to avoid the first blast of fire. Then, putting her full strength behind a whirl, she slammed her crowbar into the Shadow, ripping across a finger from the inside, and finally peeling one of its nails off. The hand stumbled back against the wall. Apparently, it had not expected that. That was probably because the crowbar was extremely effective. Despite the fact that her enemies were strong, she was fortunate enough to possess the means of subjugating each of them. Fortune seemed to smile on her. Whatever the case, she did not waste that opening. Swinging the crowbar a second time, she pierced the surface before ripping her weapon free, the hand slumping to the ground and dissolving.

Panting, the woman looked around. It. . . seemed to be over.

Taking a moment to catch her breath, Nisha shook her head and sighed. The battle was over. She felt a bit tired, but she also felt elated. She destroyed enemies that dangerous- that meant that others would not have to go through the confrontations. At the same time, that battle proved that it was still entirely worthwhile to check out the innards of the area. With opponents like that simply hiding and waiting on prey, there was no telling how many powerful and problematic Shadows existed still. Still, she was a bit winded. Proceeding on carelessly could have been dangerous. Nodding to herself, she resolved to return in the future, but, for the time being, she would retreat to ensure her own safety.
