<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/0CvLLEj.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Amanda Johnson<br/><strong>Location:</strong>...perchance...to dream...<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/>The arcs of lightning playing across Amanda's body continued as she stepped forward towards the encroaching darkness. No matter the number or size the shadows came in, Amanda's body would twist and spin with her sword, slashing through their very being and banishing them from existence with a thunderclap of noise and flash of brilliant light. With every attack the arcs dancing across her body grew stronger, the power flowing across her form to her heart where a power was growing moment by moment. Without fear she stepped forward into the maw of darkness, the spear tip of the offensive. Pushing the darkness back with all her power.<br/><br/>As the frequency of the shadows increased, so too did Amanda's attacks. Soon she was even punching and even kicking at shadows as they came. Each blow accompanied with a burst of lightning and sound as each was banished one after the other. She had stepped so far forward into the Darkness as to draw it's attention, to keep the shadows from pushing beyond her, wanting them to focus on her rather than their forward momentum. She could feel it within herself that she had finally, after the countless shadows and bursts of power, had drawn enough energy to let slip something terrible and powerful. Turning her mind inwards she could feel the raging storm that had gathered in her heart, the power demanding to be unleashed. Perhaps feeling it was growing even too strong for her body to maintain she paused in her strides and let her control of the power go. Her lips began to move of their own accord, words being screamed out with such force and power as a rolling thunderclap in the storm.<br/><br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><em>"JUPITER!!"</em></strong></span><br/><br/>With both hands gripping her sword she thrust arms upwards to the sky, the gathered energy, the dancing arcs across her body all flowing through it at once in a great burst of power, an enormous bolt of lightning erupting from her blade and striking the clouds above. The storm suddenly flared and an intense light formed within the clouds, like a great stored bolt of lightning waiting to be released.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><em>"THUNDER!!"</em></strong></span><br/><br/>All at once bolts of lightning began descending from within the stormclouds above, striking all across the city and banishing dozens of shadows in every moment. It was as if something, the light within the clouds that now began to move and flow through the clouds themselves, was summoning the bolts down to attack Amanda's enemies. The repeated thunderclaps rang out with each passing moment, each rapid strike as finally the bolt of lightning from Amanda's sword ceased, and with ferocity she extended her sword with a single hand indicating the very darkness before her. She spoke a final word.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><em>"DRAGON!!"</em></strong></span><br/><br/>In that single moment the flowing light within the clouds was revealed as a massive dragon suddenly burst from the clouds. Made entirely of lightning the 'creature' let slip a roar that beared the sound of a great thunderclap. Swooping down to obey Amanda's point the thunder dragon streaked across the sky, opening it's great mouth and spewing forth countless bolts of lightning as it strafed the length of the street on which she stood. As it passed the seemingly random strikes of lightning from the storm above continued, banishing the shadow wherever it struck. To those unfortunate shades trapped within the lightning dragon's path, banishment or death was immediate and certain. Each shadow destroyed erupting in lightning which leaped from itself to those near it, chaining countlessly down side streets and alleys to clear a massive swath of her foes.<br/><br/>When its strafing run had been completed, the dragon rose once more into the sky and vanished within the clouds, unleashing one final thunderclap-like roar before the noise of it's passing rolled across the sky, the light of it's existence passing from the moment. Amanda stood, having also been engulfed by the dragon's lightning, entirely untouched, lowering her sword as she took in a deep breath, relieved to have unleashed the stored power within.
