<span style="font-style: italic">Mysteries piling up one after another,</span>Doce thought. She was taking a moment to breathe and recharge her MP, and had Ditto defending her while she did so. During this moment of latency, she'd noticed that Rukia was having a tough time getting the enemy to agro on her.<span style="font-style: italic">I'm not used to having so many new puzzles turn up before I've solved some of the old ones. If I don't put some of them on the back burners, I'm going to get overstimulated.</span><br/><br/>She forced herself to quiet her mind and return to the battle.<br/><br/>Then JD died, which surprised her somewhat, and the boss charged in.<br/><br/>It was a... It was a... A big thing with a bigger sword. The big thing rushed Grievous, and Zach quoted Gandalf's most famous line. That helped her infer that maybe this was a Lord of the Rings monster. Beast boy transformed into a dragon (which was something she'd always wanted to see and had never known if it was truly possible) and hurried to help.<br/><br/>Her first thought was that they could finish it without her, and her efforts would be better spent claiming the exp from the mobs that had run away, since she felt confident Lucy's body could chase them down. However, it occurred to her that the game might view this as a boss battle similar to the one in their first mission, in which case, it would be foolish not to participate. So, she transformed into Soren and speed read through her new magic via her skills panel. Had the situation been different, she would not have been pleased, but as it stood, this one new spell would do perfectly.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">I hope this thing isn't immune to electricity,</span>she muttered internally. Doce held out her hand, aiming for the monster, and resisted calling an attack name out loud. A little orb of yellowy static shot from her hand and hit the beast. She crossed her fingers and bit her lip.<span style="font-style: italic">Come on; debuff! Debuff!</span>She never used status spells, so her only external point of reference for this was Pokemon, where the enemy sometimes (but seemed to always) resist. She resolved to watch how the fight played out from here and observe her first attempt at Soren's new magic.
