LightFlare_Da_Realest

We'll aren't you the resourceful one. Umbra motions for the the assassin to come closer. As he doing so, the portal behind the assassin suddenly moves toward the assassins back. If it reached the assassin he could swallowed up by the portal. Umbra could also see Lilith out the corner of his eye. Melina falls to that ground stunned. Another one bites the dust. Anwalt eyes suddenly open wide as he grabs a large piece of the floor near him, spins around and tosses it at the Assassin blocking Raina's attack like a shot puck. He uses rhe momentum from his spin to roll behind a box nearby. His hope is to damage the assassin enough for him to lose control of Raina's attack as well. Incoming attack! Lucent, Umbra and LightFlare see Lilith coming and quickly spread out avoiding the attack. Guys! I've got a couple blood thirsty assassins licking thier chops over here! Can you do something about "Miss Glowy Eyes?" Umbra quickly summons two portals and two wolves come out like drills at the the wounded assassin. (The move she used back at The Bottom. A variation of the Misogi. You get more interesting by the minute, Lilith.) Thanks for the save guys! Lucent! Ready to get back to it? Of course. Can you stay conscious long enough to finish these guys..."hero?" Guess there's only one way to find out..."pretty boy." But first.... LightFlare stamps the ground and fires a flaming Light Burst at Lilith as Lucent heals Melina. System Information 1. Umbra Sadistic Desire: Active (x1.25 attack and speed boost, x0.75 defense demerit) 2. Lucent Vermillion Illusion Crystals: 10/10.

Umbra uses the chain on the end of the axe to pull it back towards him catching the taunting assassin and impaling the back of his head with the blade of the axe while continuing to pull the axe back. Ha! That looks delightfully painelful! Melina maintains her footing only adjusting her body slightly... Huuuaaaaah! Anwalt burries his hands into the ground and unearths a large chunk of the concrete floor and hurls it straight up with the speed of a rocket towards the assassin. LightFlare finds himself stunned...again. Aaannd...Light's gone again. That selfish LightBulb! Some hero! Now I've gotta bring him back...again! You can find him, right? You know I can. A portal opens under LightFlare. He falls through. A sniper just landed over there. Be alert. LightFlare falls through the portal onto his face near Umbra. Umbra and Lucent laugh as Lucent heals LightFlare. Two wolves come from the portal behind the previous assassin and attack the spiders. Looks like our friend Lilith decided to pay us a visit.

Umbra creates another portal behind the assassin. Nice moves! Here's...your reward! A chain suddenly appears dangling from Umbra's axe as he uses his right hand to throw it like a spear at the assassin. You're tough. And you even talk trash. Well...sorta. You're my type for sure. Except dating an A.I. isn't my thing...so... Melina does a quick dash and firmly places her feet down as she places one hand in front of her and draws back her fist. Heh... Anwalt attempts to duck the attack and simultaneously execute an upward kick that would send the assassin in the air. The bullet destroys the box LightFlare was hiding behind. (Those ninjas can deflect projectiles...even bullets...) LightFlare hears the grappling hooks and immediately strikes down the sniper before rolling behind cover to gather energy. Lucent was still standing near Umbra. (I could intercept him but I need to continue to support Light...Umbra...) Umbra! His sword! No problem! Umbra summons a portal with his left hand under the blade while while Lucent executes Chill Focus on LightFlare. System Information 1.

The spiraling wolf causes the assassin's blade to recoil as it continues toward the assassins chest. The bugs around here are relentless! Umbra quickly spins his axe in front of him like a propeller blade hoping to slice and dice the bugs into pieces. The spiraling wolf ricochets of the blade causing the assassins sword to recoil and fly out of his hand and leaving the assassin off balance. (Now...) Melina quickly dashes forward as her body flashes yellow for a spit second and executes a quick straight punch at the assassins back that will cause knockdown it it connects. Ruuaaah! Anwalt reaches over and pulls up the piece of the floor he unearthed and flings it forward as a projectile and sheild from the assassins attack. LightFlare hears the grappling hook. As the sniper rises up, LightFlare instantly uses the gathered energy to leap up and strike the sniper down before he could escape eliminating him from the battle. (Well...aren't you bold. Most snipers don't expose themselves like this. ) LightFlare is further away and uses his distance to take cover and gather energy. The spiraling wolf causes the the blade to recoil as the wolf ricochets toward the spiders nearby. This would momentarily expose the assassin to another attack ... Keep it up guys! Chill Focus! Lucent casts Chill Focus on LightFlare. System Information 1. Umbra Sadistic Desire: Active (x1.25 attack and speed boost, x0.75 defense demerit) 2. Lucent Vermillion Illusion Crystals: 10/10. 3. LightFlare Chill Focus (100% hit rate for a single attack)

Ah, ah, aaaaah.... Just as the assassin gets close with his attack, Umbra opens a portal in front of him and a second portal near Lucent. The remaining 3 wolves circle around maintaining their spiral attack. One heads for the back of the assassin attacking Umbra, one spins toward the assassin attacking Lucent and one attacks the assassin leaping at Melina. A bit to slow.... Just as the assassin is about to connect with his attack, Melina swiftly sidesteps the assassins attack as he slices two of the spiders that where chasing her instead. Melina suddenly smiles... (Come on...one more time...) Oh no you don't! Stay down! Anwalt performs the same move on the remaining two spiders. LightFlare knew he would be exposed oncs he landed and quickly roles while firing a Light Burst and takes cover, narrowly avoiding being shot. LightFlare hears the sniper enter the factory and turns in the direction of the sound. (Another sniper...) From his current vantage point, LightFlare could see where the enemies hid themselves...but is to far to warn the others. (It seems I've isolated myself...yet again. Guess it's just in my nature...) LightFlare crouches down out of sight and begins gathering chi. Umbra's portal opens up near Lucent... How convenient... Lucent jumps into the portal as it closes the moment he's through. The portal opens and Lucent emerges near Anwalt. Now! LightFlare! Chill Focus! Lucent casts Chill Focus on LightFlare. System Information 1.

Way to go, dumbass! Now we have even LESS cover from those damn snipers! Shut your face, Ant Brain! At least I'm attacking! You're standing around like a useless bag of...! Put a sock in it, Umbra! The enemy is closing in! Get ready! Alright, alright! Umbra summons 5 portals in front of the approaching spider bots, while holding his axe in front of his body. Five wolves come spiraling out toward the bots. Whether they connect or not, they will continue on to try and impale the approaching assassin as well. Your mine! Melina suddenly leaps from behind cover and executes an advancing kick that swings wide targeting 5 of the spider bots while allowing her to continue moving forward towards another box for cover. Anwalt quickly runs out and stomps the ground creating a large wall of rock and concrete that attacks the spiders while simultaneously shielding him from any attacks from his front. Now the real fight begins...Lucent! Where is the sniper!? Just ahead. Across the building. Looks closely... Lucent describes the snipers position to LightFlare. He looks and notices the sniper... (There you are...) LightFlare leaps into the air and almost instantly lands delivering a fatal blow to the Sniper and eliminating him from the round. (Ah...i see...) Raina! There's one more sniper I could see! If you can find a clear shot, take it! But just make sure the other enemies don't intercept your shot! Lucent tells Raina where he saw the other sniper and casts Chill Focus on Raina. Her next attacks will have 100% accuracy. System Information 1. Umbra Sadistic Desire: Active (x1.25 attack and speed boost, x0.75 defense demerit) 2. Lucent Vermillion Illusion Crystals: 10/10. 3. Raina Chill Focus (100% hit rate for a single attack)

Lucent begins to decribe to the others what he sees... I sees small "spider" like robots. A couple dozen of them I think. About six highly mobile "ninja" enemies. And in the distance...wait...!? Horror sets in when Lucent realizes what he sees. Get down! Lucent instantly puts up his barrier, blocking the lethal shot. He floats down to the rest of the team. Snipers. They have snipers as well. Then I suggest you don't fly in large open areas. You blocked that shot only because you were able to notice them. That will most certainly not always be the case when it comes to snipers. Use low lateral movements when flying for this round. Mostly as an evasive maneuver. This round will be interesting to say the least... I say we give them a nice warm welcome. There's that sadistic smile of yours... I can hear them getting closer...on your guard! Melina and Anwalt take defensive continually switching positions behind boxes surveying the area for the inevitable swarm of enemy attackers. Lets rock n' roll! Umbra summons a large spiked wheel and kicks it across the field. The wheel is large and fast enough to crush walls and barriers that may be in it's path. Umbra continues to move to his right... Lucent! I'll need a buff to increase my chances of hitting these guys. LightFlare takes partial cover behind a box. He leans to the side and focuses on his surroundings... Understood! Lucent casts Chill Focus on LightFlare. His next attack will have 100% accuracy on his intended target. System Information 1.

The wolves came spiralling out of the ground under Carol and Anne like a drill. Two portals close leaving two portals open in the opposing teams arena. Let's see you do that again "Mr Swift!" Umbra stubbornly lunges at Ricky yet again... Umbra swings his axe before realizing he's back at the start with the others. What?! Aw come on!? I was just getting started! Welcome back, ya lil Sadist. You torture those guys or did you get your little wolfie tail kicked?! Hahahaha! I did just fine, Numbskull! I hope you've been taking care of Master Lucent. "Master Lucent"...is just fine, thank you. We've finished the round and are about to go on to the next. Our destination is that factory over there. Lucent directs Umbra's attention to the factory. Everyone else observes the next location as well. (I hope the other team enjoys the little "presents" left them...) This place...seems familiar. It reminds me of another familiar training activity. Hmmm.... Looks like it gonna be close quarter combat time. We'll have to really watch our backs. Tight spaces. Multiple levels of terrain. We'll have to keep our heads on a swivel. Right. Once inside, me and Raina can survey the scene from above. Once we have visual, we'll base our first attack on their formation. If we hit them hard and fast we may be able to wipe out multiple targets at once before they have a chance to retaliate. I like that. I'll be ready to work up close or from afar when needed. Just let me know when to move and I'll crack some skulls. Or whatever these guys have this go round. As long as I can hit it...I'll be happy... We'd better be prepared for anything... That's our cue... They all move went into the factory and proceeded as planned. Lucent flew to the top to survey the area and hopefully see just what they were up against.

Well...aren't you...quick. A little help please! Suddenly a wolf leaps out and lightly bites Umbra in his wound. Those watching would be quite confused. After a few seconds the wolf desolves as it lets go of the bite. The bite does not hurt him at all. In fact quite the opposite The wolf had successfully sucked the poison out of Umbra, negating it's effects. The portal the wolf came from dissappered leaving four portals still open. I've exposed myself a bit and I seem to be surrounded. But I've leanred some things in a short amount of time. Aww...how thoughtful. You guys really stick together... A slight grin forms on Umbra's face as two more wolves come out of the portals and become drills as they borough under the sand towards the Alena, Carol and "Mr Swift." That was exhilarating. I must say I've really been missing out, Anwalt. I'm glad you talked me into these..."mock battle" activities. See, lil bro! Ain't nothing like punching something in the mouth to let off a bit of steam. And just for kicks, too. Phew! Now we're getting..."wormed" up! Hahahaaa! "Wormed?" Well....at least you're still cute. Yea, Melina. That was terrible.. Both of you can kiss my... Anyway! Let's head to the factory...we've still got plenty more enemies to take down. Our current formation seems to work well. But I think we may encounter more resistance. Raina. You've been especially effective. Keep it up. Indeed she has. Right. Lets roll. The group head to the middle field and wait toward the edge hoping to see a preview of the enemies awaiting them in the next round.

Ricky's quick reflexes do not fail him and all the wolves fly out of the portals only to be quickly destroyed by the shurikens. Carol escapes them as well and even manages to attack the large worm. However, falling to her back she does not land on solid ground but on the very portal the wolves escaped from. Before she could realize it, she is slowly sucked in. She fell into a pit wolves who attacked her on the other side for a several seconds. Once the mauling was done, her body was ejected back out the portal. Why thank you Miss...Carol? You have given me quite the inspiration. Umbra summons five more portals that surround Ricky on all sides and on the ground. However this time no wolves come thru the portals. I guess I can't hide forever... Umbra suddenly lunges from his hidden postion at Ricky with his axe aiming to slice the "swift" one across his back. With the attacks connecting, Anwalts in particular...the worm had received a weak point marker on it's head. Just one more push! Let's finish him off! He's stunned! Lucent! Finish him off! Melina and Anwalt jump back making sure not to step in the goo thr worm previously spit out. I'll rap this up in with a "rock solid" bow! CRAGFALL! Lucent summons a large boulder aimed at the worms head.

The shurikens and arrows strike the wolves causing them to dissipate on impact. (They're agile...and their projectiles are quick. I'll have to be a bit more...inventive...) Umbra summons five more portals that surround Carol and Ricky from the ground, sides and above them. Five wolves dart out toward them both. Gotcha! Meanwhile, LightFlare and Lucent see this as well. Got one more Light? I'm on it! LightFlare fires another Light Burst at the creatures head hoping to provide cover fire for Melina and Anwalt. Watch out! Melina and Anwalt jump to the sides as sludge hits the ground. Hey Melina! I think you made it sick! Got any Pepto?! Sorry! I'm fresh out! But if it's sick...maybe it should lie down. Well then...let's help him take the longest nap he'll ever have. I got left... ...and I got the right! Melina and Anwalt suddenly dart around the left and right side of the large worm. Melina leaps into the air and performs an axe kick aimed at the right side of the Worms head. Simultaneously, Anwalt performs a rising kick aimed at the left side of worms head. If the kick connects, it places a weakpont on the point of impact.

(So here I am. Ready to wreak havoc on some unsuspecting fool. Looks like they're in a similar arena. But everything is....faded? And those red figures...they must be the other team! I can see them! Through walls!? Sweet! And it looks like a guy and a girl are pretty close to me. ) Umbra looks at his body and notices a strange glow.... (What's this glow? I hope it's not some kind of handicap. Actually...it feels like...a barrier?!) (I'm wasting time. Gotta act quickly!) Umbra summons 5 portals under Carol and Ricky as five wolves fly upwards to attack. Meanwhile back in the other arena... Ok...we're back. And not a moment too soon from the looks of it... The worm is too close...my magic may hit her instead! No time to charge! Hold on Raina! LightFlare leaps of the griffon and fires a Light Burst at the worms head. It's color and execution is different from before as it is a darker color and is delivered from a single palm rather than from both. His plan is to at least stun the creature enough for Raina to have more time to react. It's heading toward Raina! Let's move! Right behind ya! Anwalt and Melina rush toward Raina's position. System Information 1. Umbra Sadistic Desire: Active(1.25 atk, .75 def) 2. Lucent Vermillion Illusion Crystals: 10/10

LightFlare is teleported back to the middle of the large arena. Huh?! My attack didn't work...and now I'm to far from the team. Melina isn't gonna let me live this one down. Stubborn to the very end... You should know, huh? Don't spoil the mood, "sweetie pie." You're ruining our first date. If this is your idea of a first date, remind me not to go on a second... I can't seem to get one over on you. Nope. But you're still a cutie... Looks like you got away for now. And Light has been eliminated and sent back to the start. I'll have to retrieve him...and send Umbra on his way as well. To birds with one stone. Or in this case...one griffon. Lucent summons a griffon and rides it towards Umbra. Umbra is annoyed by the Anwalt and Melina's constant flirting during battle when the griffon approaches them. Will you two knock it off, already! This round isn't over! And what do you want you stupid bird...Lucent?! Umbra! Take the griffon over to Light! I can see the portal is open and he's right next to it! I'll heal him and tell him to ride it back while you go through the portal as planned! Finally! Now I can cause a bit of chaos to those pansies on the other team! Ha! Our "hero" LightFlare has been eliminated?! Can't wait to rub that in his face later! Yea! It's not like he saved your butt from certain doom in the last round, eh..."sweetie pie"?! Umbra laughed as he jumped on the griffon and flew towards LightFlare. Why you little...get back here and say that to my face! Ha! Wait...there's still more worms. No time to kie around just yet. Anwalt and Melina soon taking a defensive stance watching the movements of the remaining worms. Meanwhile, LightFlare sees the portal close by... Hey! "LightBulb!" Not much of a team player, huh? Umbra?! O right. The griffons. You guys here to rescue an old "hero"? That's right, tough guy. Im heading to wreak havoc on the other team. And try not to get eaten. There's still 3 worms left. Heh...I'll do my best. Good luck. Lucent heals LightFlare. Umbra goes through the portal as LightFlare hops on the griffon and heads back to the sand arena. System Information 1.

[PREVIEW] [DOWNLOAD] It's a dock...in Korea. [COMMENT] What's good, peepz? The homie Mark85 chopped up this stage for me and handed me the sprites. So I indexed them, coded them and here they are. The Korean Dock stage from KOF 98. Comes with superjump, zoom, animations, parallax and looped bgm. I was gonna try and do it like Shiyo style, but I said "nah"...I'll just keep doing it Vegaz Style. Click dat link.

(There you are...) You're not getting away that easy... They're not getting away at all! They both attack the HA soldiers. Melina takes a short quick leap and attacks one of the HA soldiers with a mid air axe kick while Anwalt attacks the the other with a flying kick capable of sending the soldier into the air should it connect and he survives the blow. Of course...how silly of me! Those big shields aren't just for show! Perhaps a different approach is nesecerry! Ascending Fang! Umbra quickly thrusts his claws into the ground as five small black holes form in a line under the Shield Soldiers. Five nightmare wolves shot out of the holes upwards towards the soldiers. It's too fast... The worm was suddenly struck by Raina's previous attack. Although the previous target had already fallen, a new target found itself in the path of the large orb. Lucent took this opportunity to strike. Raina! Your timing is impeccable! Tornado! Lucent summons a large tornado to attack the large worm while it was stunned from Raina's attack. System Information 1. Umbra Sadistic Desire: Inactive 2. Lucent Vermillion Illusion Crystals: 10/10

LightFlare waits for the worm to almost devour him before opening his clenched fist. He calls forth a Lighting Bolt that suddenly strikes down entering the top of the worms head and exiting out of it's mouth before surrounding LightFlare's body. Gotcha...! Great shot, Raina! Now to help the others... The HA Soldier's attempts to stop the drilling wolves only made things worse for them. As they tightened their grip, it gave the wolves more traction and allowed the wolves to grind away the limbs of the large soldiers till eventually piercing the their armor and impaling the HA Soldiers. Meanwhile Anwalt notices the HA soldier is still trying to attack... You've gotta be kidding. He's still trying to stand!? Heh...he's tougher than he looks! Aaaah! Anwalt quickly executes his Chaotic Buster, a strong hook punch that can apply a weak point to the enemy. He aimes at the the HA Soldier's head. Melina notices Anwalt attacking and targets the same soldier... I've gotcha back, Walt! Using her speed she's able to execute a dash punch hoping to aid Anwalt in putting the ultra resilient HA soldier down. Meanwhile Umbra fully gained his senses and notices the soldiers trying to escape the sunken sand. That portal is open. I know this is where I make my exit...but we've got them where we want them. And Lord Lucent needs me. But first... Umbra quickly executes his Descending Fang. Small black holes formed in a line as Nightmare Wolves came down in a line toward the soldiers trying to escape the sand. Hmmm....Illusions become reality....Cragfall... Lucent hears the worm come up from behind. Without turning around he dashes to the side while executing Cragfall, sending a very large boulder at the worms head. Only this time Lucent has 10 Illusion Shards. With 10 shards, his magic attacks now cause physical damage. System Information 1. Umbra Sadistic Desire: Inactive 2. Lucent Vermillion Illusion Crystals: 10/10.  3. Anwalt Vermillion Strengthen (Firestorm Buff) 1 turns left

(That should do...) LightFlare clenches his fist and ground stops shaking. He continues to hold his arm up and maintained his slightly sunken position. (Well done Raina. You're the MVP for sure...) (I can't run forever...) With the HA soldier in close, Melina decided it was time to strike. Hoping that Raina's initial attack was enough to soften the HA soldier, Melina attacks! The HA soldiers were successful in grabing the wolves but were not able to halt their drilling attack. As a result, the two wolves continued their corkscrew like attack into the armor of the HA soldiers. Meanwhile, Umbra is caught by the flash attack and completely misses his axe attack... What the....AAAAAAHHHHH?! Umbra is stunned but Anwalt, undetected by the guards completes his decent with a powerful punch! You're mine, ya big BASTARD! The HA soldier was preoccupied with giving orders and did not see Anwalt. Powered by velocity and his Firestorm buff, Anwalt strikes him with his Black Doom Spear punch and crushes him under his fist into the ground. Umbra!? They're getting closer...but I've got to help Umbra. ESUNA! Luncent casts Esuna on Umbra to restore his sight. Uuugh....thanks....Lucent. System Information 1. Umbra Sadistic Desire: Inactive 2. Lucent Vermillion Illusion Crystals: 10/10.  3. Melina Braveheart Quickened (Boon of Swiftness Buff): 1 turns left 4. Anwalt Vermillion Strengthen (Firestorm Buff) 2 turns left

LightFlare, seemingly unaware of the worms, maintains his position and continues to hold his arm in the air as the ground shakes... Melina uses her sudden bost of speed from Lucent's Boon of Swiftness to narrowly dodge the blast. Realizing the sheild soldier was down and how strong the HA soldier may be, Melina lowers her stance firmly plants her feet as she prepares to deliver the next blow. If it connects the HA soldier will be in a stunned state for one turn and the strike can also pierce armor. You soldiers are actually beginning to show some life aren't you?! Allow me to guide you to the other side of that coin! Umbra points out as the two wolves dart out quickly circling around the left and right sides of the soldiers formation. They suddenly spin like drills as they burrow under the soldiers hoping to loosen the sand they were standing on. Meanwhile Umbra takes his normal axe in one hand while creating a second "spirit" axe in the other. With both axes attached to chaines, Umbra flinds them out behind him and swings them inward like claws of a crab. The normal axe can possibly become lodged into whatever it makes contact with while the spirit axe will explode on contact. Seeing all this...Anwalt's patience runs out... That's it! I can't hang around in the damn sky all day! Ha! Anwalt leaps of the Griffon into the air, draws back his fist and charges his Black Doom Spear hurling his body down like a comet descending from the sky toward the group of soldiers. (And there he goes...better give gim a boost) Strengthen! Lucent uses Firestorm to strenthen Anwalt's attack power as he decendeded to earth to confront his foes. A barrier formed in front of Anwalt similar to comet entering the planets atmosphere. Well...it seems I have my own pests to deal with... System Information 1.

I love it when a plan comes together. Now to seal the deal... Umbra calls his two wolves to his side. He points toward the soldiers as he runs toward them with his familiars on each side of him. Meanwhile Anwalt sits atop a griffon disgusted at the fact he's been instructed to stay there, while Lucent floats behind the others. Great...I'm up here and all the action is down there. I guess I'll play nice...for now... (I know it's only a matter of time before your patience runs out...until then..) Boon of Swiftness! Anwalt casts Boon of Swiftness on Melina. System Information 1.

[PREVIEW] [DOWNLOAD] OOOOHH...fireflies... [COMMENT] And back atcha wit another bangah! Still trying to crank it up a notch. New original stage by yours truly. Got dem usual specs. Superjump, animations, zoom and looped bgm. It also incorporates zoom delta, scale delta and scale so it's 1.1 only bruh. Props to Razerback for the original sprites. I created the lamp animation from his original lamp sprite and the fireflies where done by me as well. I'll try to keep moving forward guys. Enjoy!

(Looks like I haven't gone unnoticed...those things can't see underground. Yet they always seem to know where we are. I think I know why...) LightFlare suddenly stamps the ground as dark energy rises from his body for a split moment. He then holds his hand above his head as ground around him shakes.... Meanwhile Melina is engaged in close quarters combat. The H.A. Soldier's swing was powerful but too slow to connect as Melina backstepped before the blow could connect. However this was exactly what the sheild soldier was counting on as now Melina was closer to him. Melina slightly crouches and tenses her body focusing on her surroundings... LightFlare continued to hold his hand above him as the ground shook...

Incoming! Nice... (Well done! Umbra and Lucent work very well together...time to move in...) LightFlare begins to circle around the parameter of the sand arena moving closer but not in a straight line. Meanwhile Melina continues to move towards the guards... As LightFlare and Melina advance, they notice the guards actions and come to a conclusion.. (Those guards are up to something. The larger ones shot the smaller one's shields...and...they just "absorbed" it. It charged them! But for what?!) Melina is closing in on the Heavy Soldier that did not fire a shot... (Did they just...shoot each other?!) Walt!? Did you see...? Melina turns around to see Walt isn't behind her anymore, Umbra is attacking a worm seemingly from out of nowhere and a large worm was descending down onto her! Not so fast! As the worm comes close she runs in front of the Heavy Soldier and darts to the side hoping he eats the soldier and not her.

MAJOR UPDATE! Check first post for new video! +Stage is larger +Added scale zoom as well as increased stage zoom +New galaxy animation thanks to Sky79 +Various updates to the existing sprites including re-rendered "goddess" by Margatroid I'd like to thank everyone for their help and feedback particularly Margatroid for his Interpolation tutorial and guidance. Everyday is a step closer to greatness. Later…

Another one bites the sand... That last one almost bit me! How am I gonna land a blow if the only time they're visible is when there trying to have ME for lunch?! You'll just have to be patient. Pick your spots carefully. Those...things...are only out of the ground for a few seconds. How many spots do I even have?! Judging by his size...plenty.... Ok comedian! So how do you suppose I even strike one of these..."many spots!?" It's like Lucent said earlier..."you"...don't actually have to strike it... But how would I...? Speak of the wormy devil! Check out the large soldier! He's charging a large shot like the guards from the first round. I guess that's the "spot" you you were referring to... Indeed it is. For both of us perhaps. Think you could pull it off? Peace of cake... Be careful. Those worms are still lurking... Don't worry...I'll stay alert. Now's my chance... Melina quickly moves around the outer parameter as the guards focus on Raina and Anwalt. (What an extraordinary attack...and it may be what we need. It's large enough to possibly break their defense but the sand is slowing it down...) LightFlare fires a Light Burst at the rear of the wheel hoping to give it enough momentum to break the shield soldiers defense. There's a slight chance it will also cause the wheel to go airborne... Meanwhile Melina is swiftly closing in on Anwalt's anticipated landing point... (Looks like two worms are trying to intercept Walt and Umbra...) (Aaaaand....they're gone...they're gonna pull the same move as they did on us before.) Melina doesn't stop where Anwalt would land but runs past it putting Anwalt and the underground worms just behind her. She moves closer to the guards as the large wheel closes in on them from another angle...

One down! Everyone! They're exterior looks tough but thier interior is not! If you have a projectile...feed them to these worms! That's not gonna help me much! My eyes are on those soldiers... I suggest you keep your eyes on the ground! It's the enemy you don't see that's most dangerous! LightFlare begins charging another Light Burst.... Here they come! .... LightFlare continues charging his Light Burst as Melina waits for the right moment to react... Now! Melina uses her quick speed, combined with the whirlwind boosting her evasive abilities thanks to Lucent, to dash to her right just as the worm rises from the sand and shoots into the air. Haah! LightFlare leaps straight up and as the creature emerged from the sand and fires his charged Light Burst into the beasts mouth.
