Snippet #2821208

"Revenant!" hissed Yue. She vaulted backwards and away from the crimson sparks, using the greatsword as a fulcrum to get more distance. She landed in a low guard, dragging the point of the sword through the earth to bleed off the momentum. Her eyes flashed, now singularly focused on Raud as he charged her. Yue caught the haft of the axe with the cross guard of her sword, and with a breath her body was alight.

It was like charging a brick wall. She planted firmly, splintering the earth beneath her feet and scooping Raud up onto the flat of her blade. Pivoting on her heel, she spun him over her head once before ejecting him from the battlefield with significant speed.

"Target CC'd," she muttered, scanning the arena for the Warden.

He was gone. With a flare of energy everything slowed to a crawl so she could re-orient herself on the battlefield: the Warden was a dangerous target to lose track of. Yue checked on the Viking, who was suspended mid-air in escape trajectory. Unless he could fly she didn't have to worry about him for the moment. Creature... fleeing. The Shinobi, terminated and the Rune Priest appeared to be moving to safety. Yue turned the other direction and found the Warden mere feet from impacting her and closing lazily. At the speed she was perceiving things that meant he was moving quite fast! She flinched, feeling the Earth give way like sand beneath her feet as she tried to sidestep him... unfortunately the terrain wasn't able to support the force of her sudden movement.

"Well then..." she quipped. There was no avoiding it now. Yue twisted to put her sword between them and let her body go slack at the moment of impact. The force knocked the great sword from her grip and sent it whistling through the air. After a tangible moment it embedded itself half way into a rock. She flailed gracelessly for a split second before twisting to land feet first against one of the Warden's barriers. Her momentum pressed her into a crouch, energy roaring in her ears as she coiled to retaliate. It flared around her, scattering dust and splintering the ground as she cocked her arm back...

And then she slipped.

All the buildup was suddenly gone as one of her feet slid out from under her on the slick, glass-like surface of the barrier and she tumbled like a rag doll to the bottom. Whether it was the initial impact her head made with the bottom of the sphere, or the violent shaking afterwards that knocked her unconscious isn't clear. Regardless, when Alex checked next she was still.
