Part Two: Wardrobe Showdown.
Itsu's long legs carried her rapidly through the forest village, past wild animals and weaker humanoid races, her dagger cut a swath through various pieces of furniture that darted towards the villagers, taking pieces out left and right thanks to the combination of how sharp the blade she carried was and the speed at witch she ran. Finally she arrived to stand between the two Ogre's that were standing guard. Their clubs crashed through a couch and table respectively, splintering the objects in what seemed like a single blow. Itsu placed her palm on the flat side of her dagger while it started to glow red. Her long green hair flowed around her and she spoke softly.
"Come fourth and defend your master. Hewy, Dewy, Luey." Before Itsu, three skeletal soldiers carrying great swords appeared in a flash of red light, their weapons readied, gleamed under the half moon's light.
"Okay guys, destroy any flying furniture that comes at us, leave the wardrobe to me!" The three skeletons saluted Itsu and swung their weapons through the air, letting the cold metal blades hum through the air. The Ogres looked at Itsu and her undead soldiers, grinned and took a step back to let the skeletons take some of the attacks before they continued on. The stage was set, it was time to fight.
Off in the distance Itsu could spot the wardrobe flying through the air, circling the village before heading back the way it came. It opened its doors and spewed furniture as if it were a magical portal to a different realm. Itsu braced herself and drew a deep breath of air.
"Ghost touch!" She shouted and released a blast of compressed energy straight at a cluster of furniture, shattering some of it and spreading the rest out. The flying furniture swept in low, and rocketed towards the three skeletons. Hewy ran up first and started to swing his great sword with one hand, whipping the blade around in a wide arch slashing through splintering wood and fabric until his bones started to creak with joint pain. As he gave up ground an arm chair with teeth came clattering down at Hewy, Luey however jumped into action, leaping straight over Hewy and brought his blade down atop the chair, piercing the cushion of the couch as Luey's weight came crashing down atop it. Both his feet planted on either arm of the chair while he pulled his blade up and cut through a metal lamp, sending two sides in different directions. The Ogres each reached out and grabbed a long dining table that was going to try to knock the skeletons over. Each of them yanked, splitting the table in half in one powerful motion. As the last item of furniture, a barrel came tumbling through the air at the group Dewy sprinted past the other two and hurled his blade forward, cutting the barrel into two halves that clattered to the grass and stone ground harmlessly.
The Wardrobe came down behind Itsu and opened its doors, three bolts of lightning rocketed from the large Wardrobe and went straight at Itsu. She side stepped left, dodging the bolts but all three of them crashed into an Ogre, sending him to the ground with a loud crash that shook the earth. Itsu glared and unleashed a blast of energy straight at the Wardrobe. In response it blew a powerful gust of wind and knocked the spell Itsu cast back at her. Itsu ducked, watched the spell soar past her and crash into her skeletons, destroying them on the spot. The bones rattled to the ground and vanished in a half a second.
"You two, get out of here!" Itsu cried out to her new found Ogre friends. The two twisted on their large feet and raced into the forest to try and make sure nothing attacked Itsu from behind.
Now it was just her and the Wardrobe. Itsu placed her hand on her chest and whispered a command word.
"Resurrect!" She shouted, then found herself enveloped in a flash of light as her magic took effect. Her armor vanished and left her top in the ripped dress she used to wear while her arms and shoulders were covered in hard armor, her lower half became that of a Centaur's and her head was half masked by the ram helmet she wore, now with a full set of curved horns. Itsu raced left, her hooves galloping while she raced around the flank of the Wardrobe. The woman used her new found speed boost and lowered her head. The Wardrobe started to glow but it was too late. Itsu smashed her head into the Wardrobe as hard as she could, cracking some of its wood and blasted it aside from the force of her strike. As it hit the ground, its doors swung open and light emerged from the Wardrobe, filling the area. Itsu turned and went into a sprint as fast as she could. The light almost hit her before it faded away and Itsu twisted around again to face her foe. It was strong but not very fast as far as she could tell. Slowly Itsu started to gallop again, this time she swung her dagger by the cord on the hilt, letting it gain momentum and speed. When she closed the distance with the now standing Wardrobe she flung the dagger out. It dug into the wood, forcing the Wardrobe to shriek in pain. A gout of flames shot from it and slammed into Itsu's chest, harming her body and burnt her slightly. It wasn't terrible though as she managed to shrug off the attack and teleport as she shouted.
"Phantom Speed: Strike!" In a flash she appeared behind the Wardrobe and smashed her fist into the large wood working and pulled away, teleporting again as she evaded a gust of wind that would have surely pushed Itsu away. The woman appeared at its side and lashed out with a blast of light from her Ghost Touch spell, the result splintered part of the Wardrobe and knocked it into a near by tree, harming the Wardrobe a great deal in the process. it was time to end the thing before it could do any more harm.
"Revive!" Itsu commanded and a clone of herself appeared. Together they spoke and activated a sort of unison raid.
""Phantom Speed: Strike!"" Both women vanished and appeared at either side of the monster, drove a limb into it then vanished and appeared again at different angles until the wardrobe crumbled to the ground, little more than ruined cloth and wood. Itsu's double vanished and her armor spell ended, leaving her panting for air.
"Okay Mashyuu, its up to you and Hilda now. I'll see you soon." She mused to herself and made her way back to the tree.
