As Kiyoni gauged the Fire Elemental's intentions, it reached out over the side of the car and hit the side of the car again, smashing a window in the process to the sound of screaming coming from within. It was trying to reach in and pluck passengers out, like cookies out of a narrow-necked jar, for ill intentions or worse!<br/><br/>The kitsune's barrage of bullets definitely caught its attention, ripping straight through and behind its form. Though its flames soon closed over its wounds, scars of blackened ashes remained marking where it had been hit.<br/><br/>Lucia's barbed chains slashed at the Fire Elemental as well, but unlike Kiyoni's shots, the slashes were too shallow for any real bite into its fiery form. However they did have the side effect of making it hesitate in trepidation, as it started to realize that perhaps it had met its match!<br/><br/>That didn't stop the Fire Elemental from advancing though. The tunnel's ceiling prevented it from towering over the heroines of Zettai Ryouiki as tall as it could have, but it still looked plenty tall enough as it brought a burning arm down to slam Kiyoni in revenge! Then, like a tongue of flame that had licked out too far, it danced back putting distance between itself and any retaliatory attempts again.<br/><br/>As Astrid charged forward, the Fire Elemental used its superior reach to get in the first strike on her! At least she gave as good as she got, or even better.<br/><br/>Meanwhile the train continued rushing down the tunnel through the still air, though to those on board it seemed like the train was still and the wind was blowing towards them instead. The air carried along a pair of ghostly, gaseous forms, that blew past all the fighting and commotion and over the roof of the dining car behind the heroines. Though Astrid could have sworn, in the glimpse that she caught as they rushed by, that they sported some fangs in their ghastly grins...<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>Kiyoni deals 39 damage to Fire Elemental.<br/>Lucia deals 0 damage to Fire Elemental after DR.<br/>Will save vs Barbed Chains: 12, fail (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=129537)<br/>Fire Elemental is <strong>shaken </strong>for 4 rounds (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=129538)<br/>Fire Elemental Spring Attacks: move 15 feet down, attack Kiyoni, move 15 feet up.<br/>Fire Elemental hits Kiyoni with 23.
