<span style="font-style: italic"> I'm surrounded by fools </span>she thought to herself as she watched the blood benders take on the guard earth bender. Blood, glass, and rubble decorated the hall. As the guard took aim, throwing boulders at the group. Nitesh grit her teeth as she turned facing Hanna "hold on" quickly colliding into Hanna's frame. With Hanna in her space she held the bo in front of them, turning them to face the spiraling rock.<br/><br/>Quickly Nitesh worked flattening the top of the bo, using it to deflect a direct hit from the crushing boulder. But as the bo pressed into her flesh it was becoming alarming clear this would hurt. And it did for Nitesh, as the box deflected the hit the bo had also dug into Nitesh's ribs. Nitesh felt the crack of her rib but merely winced from the pain. Being pushed still by the boulders force the two females collided into a wall Nitesh taking the hit to the wall.<br/><br/>"Well that didn't tickle" she spat dryly. It would hurt much worse later but for now she would be fine. One foot after another lifted placing her up right. Itou's voice rang in her ears, his voice clearly full of irritation. Her brown eyes narrowed, sweat beaded down her neck. "Fine but whatever you do better work. And if you think to hit me again I'll make a whole new jewelry set for you" it was part truth and part lie.<br/><br/>Right now they were in the wild and sometimes the caged beast was the beast you didn't have to fear. She would give Itou this chance. With her hand outstretched she released the metal band from Itou's flesh. The piece fallen to the ground it's shape no longer flat and curved to fit his flesh. Now it was a metal ball that followed her command as it rolled to her feet with ease. The sound of steam and gears could be heard next to the walls. Something was coming down one of the elevators. "Damn, that's not good for us" she said laying the metal ball over one of her wrists, watching it elongate over her arm. A brace, thin bit but at this point she needed the extra protection.<br/><br/><br/>Via DragonGrame... Rawr
