New Years lead to New Wishes

[AmbushCat]

"Have fun", he says... well, it'll stress my reserves, but why not?

*Aldonza smirks, the expression almost Saiyajin-esque. As she continues to try her best to evade damage---which isn't completely successful, as some of the knives are able to skim past her defenses and draw blood---any orange fur on her starts to turn pink. A battle aura of the same color snaps into being. The fur on her head lengthens several feet and turns red.

*Once the transformation is complete, energy blasts (roughly the size of the average watermelon) begin to accompany Aldonza's punches and kicks as she leans from deflection to outright disintegration.*

[Raleigh]

Oh ho, how interesting. *Watches as his little daggers are destroyed.* Hm.. so what trick to do next? After all there is no need for my soul cannon for something like this. *Space folds around him and he is deposited right in front of Aldonza.* Yo! *Swings a blow toward her stomach.*

[AmbushCat]

Mini-Lina: *eyebrow raises* Wow. Isn't that rare?

*Aldonza, still in the swing of things (so to speak), tries to block Raleigh's attack with a punch of her own. 'Course, if the narrator knows Raleigh like he thinks he does, her attack may not have been the best idea.*

[Raleigh]

*Aldonza's worry proves correct when Raleigh's body turns into a blazing red inferno upon contact with her punch.* I wonder if I should count the fire as an attack or not on my part? *Raleigh reforms standing on the ground below observing.*

[AmbushCat]

*entire arm ablaze; panics* Whoa whoa whoa... *flies around frantically* ...whoa whoa whoa! Fox on fire, fox on fire, fox on fire, fox on fire, fox on fire---

Mini-Lina: *annoyed* Hey, nimnull, you're on fire! Hell-ooo?

---... oh, right, I'm on fire. Duh!

*Aldonza goes hyper again and dives towards Raleigh, but immediately comes to a screeching halt halfway down. The speed and the winds tear the flames off her arm, dropping them to the ground in the form of sparks aplenty.*

[Raleigh]

I think I'll count my counter as an action on my list so that would make five I do believe. You've won your wish but if you want we can continue to fight. Its up to you. *The immortal says while a trident formed of some liquid metal has appeared in his hand.*

[AmbushCat]

Um, eh-heh... no. It's not good for me if I stay like this too long.

*Aldonza's fur returns back to its normal color and length. After beckoning Mini-Lina over to her shoulder, she drops to the ground and looks meaningfully at Raleigh*

Okay, sir; I'm all set.

[Raleigh]

Alrighty. This shouldn't be too hard. I am assuming you want to be able to reverse it too, yes? *A glyph forms on the ground beneath the Lina doll and Aldonza.*

[AmbushCat]

Yes, please. Do we need to close our eyes or anything while you have this going?

[Raleigh]

Nope, this is a simple one. Just a one, two, three kind of job. *As he says three there is a brief flash of light before the symbol has disappeared from the ground beneath the two.* Which is now done. You want to try it out? That way we can tweak it if something doesn't work right.

[AmbushCat]

Sure. Lina?

Mini-Lina: Ready to go.

*Beat. And another.*

So... how do we do this?

*The ground gains a Lina-shaped imprint a second later.*

[Raleigh]

How does everything I make work? You pretty much think it and it is so. I could make it activate at a command if you want to go for theatrics though.

[AmbushCat]

*hand behind her head, blushing* Eh-heh... I feel kinda stupid now.

Mini-Lina: *recovers and floats up to eye level* And you call yourself a college graduate?!

*reaches out and takes Lina in her hand* Sorry, sorry. I'm allowed those moments every now and again. Here goes!

*The both of them glow a bright orange-white until their features are indistinguishable, then disappear behind a veil of similarly-colored light. By the time the light fades, a serious number seems to have been done on Aldonza's physical appearance. Her ears and tail are shorter, and her feet smaller; her eyes are red instead of green, and her facial features are closer to human than canine (while keeping the coloring). The fur on her head has morphed into a full-blown mane of red hair. Even her clothes have gotten into the act, being more applicable to Lina's color scheme than her own.*

*pumps a fist* FUZORS COMBINE! Liza Invahte!

[Raleigh]

So, how does it feel to be one?

[AmbushCat]

Not... that bad, really. *takes a brief moment to shoot a Flare Arrow off into the distance, smirking* Yeah, I'm definitely liking this.
