The funny spray seeped into Artemis' skin, setting on a cooling agent that tingled against her burns, making her squirm and hiss.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">"Ngnn..." </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(209, 213, 216)">she whimpered but was soon soothed by the touch of Thomas' hand to her shoulder. </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">"No need to apologise! We need to get out of this turf war and fast"</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(209, 213, 216)"> She twisted her neck to look at him and a flash smile grew on her face, he had given her the reassurance she needed as she faced Kiara again. Turned out the houndour girl had problems off her own to be dealing with which worked in the aron's favour. </span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(209, 213, 216)">She took a moment to assess to the scene before her as the half pints all flew in in a flurry of fury. Artemis wasn't worried about the poison attacks, they would be harmless to her, but she was certain that wouldn't be the case for Thomas. Her eyes darted on the Zubat as it's launched it's supersonic attack. It's high pitched squealing cutting right through her as she was forced to drop her spear and cling her hands to her ears as a means of defense. Luckily, Thomas was still stood beside with his hand on her shoulder. She felt a reassuring squeeze and could hear his voice as it called to her. </span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">"Earthquake! Got it...</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(209, 213, 216)">" The aron spoke with determination as she released her ears and knelt to pick up her spear. She looked around in the direction Thomas had pointed and nodded as she understood his instructions. "</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">Find somewhere safe and keep close to the ground! I don't want you hurt!" </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(209, 213, 216)">Artemis nuzzled against his hand softly feeling his warm, if not clammy from the stress, skin against her cheek. She released herself from his hold and dashed forward through the chaos! <i>A great choice! </i>she told herself, her eyes narrowing as she approached and leapt, slamming her spear head into the ground. <i>He knows his stuff! Super effective against fire AND poison.</i> </span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(209, 213, 216)">As the shaft of the spear became lodged in the ground, Artemis dug her heels in to brace herself. She growled loudly, her usually caring blue eyes now portraying anger as she pulled her weapon sharply. There was a sudden rumble, like thunder in the distance, that dislodged the ground beneath her. Shockwaves rippling under the earth in the immiediate area. It may not have had the strength of a full grown Aggron behind it, but there was still enough power behind her attack to topple those who felt it. </span>
