The moment Ansat landed, the two figures charging at him both unleashed a blast of Shadow magic that he dodged with ease. Meanwhile, the airborne Shadow magic user had boosted themselves above Avery and drove their left heel down into the avian's back, intending to send them spiralling downwards.
Two more cloaked figures separated from the stand-by group and promptly boosted towards Ben.
The standby group fired several blasts of Shadow magic at the dried ground in front of their three targets, kicking up copious amounts of dust and nearly completely blinding the group.
One suddenly appeared within the cloud to Ben's left and promptly kicked the inventor to the ground before disappearing into the dust cloud again.
Magenta eyes flashed behind Ansat as the second of the two grabbed him from behind, boosted into the air with a blast of purple energy from their feet, let him go, grabbed his chest, and boosted back into the ground, kicking up another cloud of dust and releasing a surge of black and purple energy.
And as the dust settled, the downed group found themselves surrounded by the tens of cloaked figures, with each one holding out an outstretched right hand with a charging Shadow Shock growing in them.
Sorry, i had to do the Movie Shadow solos Team Sonic reference + the mid credits scene references there lol
That being said, i think ive Zerg Rushed okay enough
Proceed
...
Hold on
Meanwhile, one more cloaked being had broken off from the group to slap the translucent effigy in the face.
...
Or at least try.
The effigy was so fluidly ducking, dodging, and weaving that from a distance, it looked kind of like the cloaked being was swatting at some pesky mosquitoes. And judging by the increasingly narrowing magenta irises, the figure was getting very frustrated.
"SURRENDER TO THE LEGION," all of the cloaked beings stated at once, aside from the one still trying and failing to slap the effigy for her insolence.
Ok proceed
