What Grace?(Solo Mission: Sinali)

As she said this she went to bite into it, but was instead blasted away by one of the corn shots which sent her flying. Her light frame was strong, but it was still light. She shook herself off and spat out a tooth. Another one lost, but it was no big deal. She could create more at a later date. There was no need for them now. She lunged forward at the corn and launched a flurry of three blows, but it blocked them all with its strong and sturdy leaves. She stared in annoyance and leapt back. This was fortunate as it allowed her to avoid the two shots from other corn demons.

Still three opponents left. They would be tricky to defeat. Their corn shot was very powerful. It wasn't something she wanted to be hit by again. If that hit her in the head enough times she'd be out cold and at their mercy. No, she couldn't let that happen. A flame seemed to burn behind both eyes. She crouched down and with each hand pulled at the leaves of two of the buried vegetables. She successfully pulled out a pair of very spiky carrots. Not ideal, but they would be useful to strike with. "I'll fight veggies with veggies."

She focused and from her shoulders formed two skeletal arms. From these formed two bone like structures, one near the end of the arm, and the other apart halfway.   From them formed a leathery membrane like material to complete two bat-like wings with a 3ft wingspan that enabled flight. She used these to take to the sky. Up here they would be forced to use their corn attack, but she would also be much more maneuvarble and less likely to trip. Plus she could use them to blow away the corn. It would be useful.

Unfortunately, whilst she'd been forming these the three corn took aim from seperate angles. She couldn't quite dodge the blows so she batted her wings to generate a gust. This blew away two of the shots straight back at their targets causing C rank damage to them. However, one of them hit her and the shock caused her to crash down. She growled and threw the two spiked carrots. "EAT THIS!" she shouted. Unfortunately, both of them were blocked by kernels. The two who had been hit were heavily dazed. They wouldn't attack again for a short while. Now she had to take them out.

She flew across the ground at high speed. She kept low to it, rather than soaring high. There was no point going up when she had no projectiles. She could use spells, but one spell at a time was enough in her opinion. Besides two of the enemies were almost down as far as she could tell. As she flew at them the one able corn leapt at her and attempted a body slam, but she twisted out of the way avoiding it and hurtled towards the corn. The two dazed corns weren't quite as dazed as she thought and one managed to fire a kernel that caused her to change tracjectory and miss it narrowly. She turned and flew back, pulling out a spiked carrot as she did so and threw it. It hit the corn demon straight through its eye killing it instantly. Now there were only two left.

She flew at the still dazed one, but it recovered just in time. Her first blow was blocked by a leaf and the second by a kernel at the last second. It was quite irritating how stubborn these creatures were being. Why didn't they just lay down and die? Her wings wouldn't last forever and she hoped to have been able to use them against the next group of enemies. She felt like fifteen demons couldn't quite cause all this trouble. She'd guess thirty at the minimum. "I really do hate vegetables."

She went to punch the demon again, but it was blocked by another kernel. In anger she lashed out with a powerful kick and sent it flying towards the other corn demon. It dodged though and countered with two sprays of corn. The first missed her entirely and the second she blew away. She growled and grabbed a kernel and threw it with force, but the demon blocked it with its own kernel. "Just one to go. All alone aren't you Mr. Corn?" she said with her sadistic grin returning. She hadn't hurt this one yet. That meant she could have all the fun she liked.

Her wings vanished and she dropped to the ground in a crouch. They had dissapeared quite quickly, but no matter. Against one opponent she hopefully wouldn't need that much maneuverability. All she had to do now was get in close and pound the living daylights out of this creature. The question was how to get close. Its kernel based defense was quite good. She shrugged and charged. Pain was part of her magic. Something she was used to. If it hit her she wouldn't go down. Even if it broke her bones she'd keep moving. "Beati Mortui et ego sum mortuus" Blessed are the dead and I am dead.

"Beati Mortui et ego sum mortuus" she repeated then added a new line. "et mox erunt" and soon you will be. Latin was a second tongue to her. It was a dead language and thus it suited her perfectly. She tended to fall into it whenever she got really sadisticly serious in battle. She lunged forward at high speed and lashed out with a flurry of four punches. The strength was high, but the speed was low. It was fast enough that only two of the punches were successfully blocked though. The other two hit and the second sent it flying. She grinned and threw herself to the side avoiding a corn blast.

"Beati Mortui et ego sum mortuus" she repeated once more. The corn was now looking quite fearful.

"Please leave me young lady. I don't want to die." it said standing up and waving its leaves like they were hands. There was a pleading tone to its voice.

"Beati Mortui." was all she replied. Sbe wasn't lunging towards it now, but walking slowly and the corn was backing away. Bits of corn were falling off of it in its fear. It was literally falling to pieces. Soon it would be dead.

The corn demon was now so fearful that it was turning and running. The words of Sinali were echoing in its head. Beati mortui. It didn't understand the words, but they rocked it to its very core. However, it wouldn't escape. Sinali was running after it and leapt kicking off the ground with all her might and leapt onto it biting into it. The bite was enough to finish it off combined with it being driven to the ground. She stood up on its husk of a corpse and spat out the corn. "Bleh. You taste awful mister."

It was at this point that ten more of the tomato demons sprouted up. "Now these guys taste good." she said and walked forward towards them. They were annoying enemies to deal with due to their numbers, but they didn't hurt nearly as much as the corn demons. Plus they tasted good. "Which of you is the tastiest?" she asked loudly. The ten tomato demons looked at eachother.

"It doesn't matter. You're not getting to eat any of us. Isn't that right boys?" the biggest tomato said. He definitely looked the tastiest.

"Aye we are the top tomatoes. We rule this garden." the rest said. Sinali shook her head. She would show them who ruled.

These tomatoes were quite annoying with their tough talk. She sighed and looked at her feet and was surprised to see her shovel from earlier. She didn't doubt the providence and picked it up striking a heroic pose. "Fruits don't rule my vegetable garden. I do." she said in a child-like heroic voice. "Because i'm....the gardener." she was pleased to see a shudder run through the tomatoes and in the case of one a small splodge of red to exit from its lower back region, or as far as she could tell. That made her giggle slightly. She picked up a corn kernel and threw it in the air before batting it with all her might at the tomatoes. Unfortunately, it was blocked, but it was still a good distraction and it allowed her to charge in and get between them and cleave a huge chunk out of one with her shovel. Her next two blows were not quite as lucky and were blocked though she did shear through the vines.

Four of the demons leapt into the air, all going for slightly different angles to try and hit her, but she just ran forward dodging out of the way. One of them would of missed her entirely anyway, but the other three she was lucky to dodge. She would of been majorly smushed, but it wouldn't have killed her. Or so she thought. She licked the ketchup from her shovel. "mmm...not bad. Needs more sugar I think."

Another shudder had gone through them as she said those words. She wondered if perhaps the shaking was somehow improving the flavour. If one of them tasted really good at the end she might take some home for her own enjoyment. It would be a good addition to her sauce collection or at least so she felt. She spun round the shovel. "Its gardening time." She struck out at one, but it leapt away. The second blocked her strike and the third missed entirely. She was getting pissed. Her depth perception, which normally wasn't the best, seemed even more off. Perhaps it was the demonic tomato ketchup or the damage she had received. The four tomatoes were laughing at her now.

"This little girl thinks she rules? She thinks she is the gardener?" one of them said toughly. "Blast 'em boys." He leapt backwards and four tomatos let off a blast of juice towards her. Two missed entirely and the other two she blocked with her shovel using a clever motion. One of the blasts that missed was such a poor shot it hit the tomato she had cleaved a hole in earlier and killed it. Now there were only nine left. "You idiot Stanley. What did you go and hit carl for?"

"Yeah what did he ever do to you?" another said. There were similar comments from the other nine and Sinali just watched. It seemed these ones were named, unlike the first, and were pissed at one of them killing another. It looked like they were going to turn on them.

It was quite interesting to watch. Yet only four of them seemed totally focused on Stanley now. The one who seemed to be in charge, who had started the berating, had ordered four of the tomatoes to continue their attack on Sinali. She was quite dissapointed. She wanted to watch them squash eachother. Then again if she tricked them into hitting eachother again. That could be useful to sow some discord.

She lunged in aiming to get amongst them. She struck out with her shovel, but narrowly missed and almost lost her grip of the shovel. She swung it again and cut another chunk out of one of the tomatoes. Followed by a second that deflated it. This caused the attack it was about to launch to fail. The other three all shot at her. One missed her entirely and missed everyone else too. The others she blocked with more clever motion of her shovel.

Poor Stanley on the other hand was fighting bravely. The four tomatoes were all attacking him with blasts of juice, but he was defending using his own blasts. He was shuddering wildly and there was a strange glow forming. It reminded her of sugar. Perhaps he was fermenting. She had to find out. She hoped Stanley would survive long enough for her to taste him.

She wanted to be the one to end Stanley's life and taste the thick red juice that came from him. She was sure it make an excellent sauce to go on her shepherd's pie, made from actual shepherd. Still she had to deal with these three first. They all blasted at her. She spun the shovel with skill blocking two, but was hit by the third and knocked to the ground. She angrily shook the juice off of her and charged at the three tomatoes. She stabbed into one and swung it round into another killing one and damaging the second. The second she tried to stab with her shovel, but it blocked. She grinned as she saw a kernel on the floor and kicked it with force puncturing it through the centre. Now only one was harassing her whilst four were still focused on Stanley.

She was slightly impressed with his performance. He had defended exceptionally well and was still undamaged after two barrages of tomato juice. He was highly skilled it seemed. Or as highly skilled as you got when you were part tomato. It was then the boss turned and saw that only one was left attacking her. "You two go help Charlie. He obviously can't handle this by himself. Me and Dave will deal with Stanley" The two nodded and turned towards Sinali. Three opponent's once more, but the greater the odds the better. It made it more fun and it made it more likely for them to hit one another.

The three surrounded her on three sides. They were slightly off angled so a direct shot from one wouldn't hit another. However, with a slight movement forward they were lined up a bit better. The three let off blasts of tomato juice. It seemed they had given up on jumping or just favoured the juice cannon. Where they were getting the juice from she had no idea. Two missed her entirely and the third she blocked. One of those that missed hit nothing, but the other hit a tomato. She grinned and dashed at it.

The first strike was blocked as was the second, but the third was true. Third times the charm as they say and she pierced it through the centre. Another one bites the dust. She pulled out the shovel and licked it. It seemed a bit tastier. Thus her new idea was formed. It was not the shuddering but the usage of the juice. It shot out the rubbish leaving goodness. That explained stanley's glow and why he just looked so much better.

He was now using rapid blasts of tomato juice as his defense against the other two and was still holding his own. It seemed that Dave and the boss were not good enough to beat Stanley. Either that or Stanley was really lucky.

Finally, a blast got through and hit Stanley. He should of been fighting back, but he wasn't powerful enough to defend and fight back against the two attacking him. He let out a roar of anger and annoyance, but the boss seemed more satisfied now. "Alright Stanley. Now you know how it feels. Let's go help Phil and Mitch."

Meanwhile whilst this was occuring Sinali was fighting the tomatoes known as Phil and Mitch. The first shot a blast of juice and missed her entirely, the second leapt at her and she was forced to block with the shovel. It hurt her arm a bit due to the weight. She struck at it, but it leapt backwards, but she lunged forward and managed a decent slice. It did however block her next two blows and now it was back to five on one. Still, she had taken down five of them so far. It was going to be interesting. She wondered if this was the last group. If it wasn't this was going to get boring. Demons were fun to kill, but plants weren't. They didn't have throats to rip out or anything fun like that. "You will fear my shovel like those who died before you." she shouted.

A shudder did run through Phil and Mitch. Most noticeably through Phil who had been cut by it. Stanley who had been able to watch her fight also shuddered. Damn he did look tasty. She'd probably eat him whole right now. Not because she was hungry. She never felt hungry, but just because he looked tasty. First though she had to deal with the boss, Dave, phil and mitch. Then she could really sink her teeth into fighting Stanley both in the literal and figurative sense. She lunged forward once more, aiming to get in the midst of them. Hopefully it would work and they would hit eachother and turn on one another.

Unfortunately, this did not work. Four blasts were fired at once. Two she blocked with skill, one missed entirely but the fourth hit her and sent her flying. This was sort of fortunate at it caused the bodyslam from one of the tomatoes, Dave she thought, to miss. She landed awkwardly and stood up. Her shoulder was dislocated. She stared at it for a moment then with her other arm popped it back in causing her to wince in pain.

She decided a bit of ranged attack might be in order and began to bat corn at them. Three of her corn shots were accurate, but were blocked. The forth missed entirely and actually broke a window in a house on the outskirts of the field. It was quite a shot if she was honest.
