Deity slowly stretched as she woke up next to Cole that morning-it was still early, but they had to fight today. They had to stop the snakes. As expected, Cole was still snoring away-they'd stayed up the night before working on a strategy, so didn't blame him for being tired. Deity herself has only slept for five hours-which is surprising, seeing as her nightly average is two or three hours. Deity carefully tugged on Cole. "Rocky..wake up honey." Cole silently snores and rolls over toward Deity, laying on her. "No, Jay..you can't put a cake inside a cake, that's madness.." The master of earth murmurs in his sleep, curling around Deity. "Delicious..but madness.." Deity can't help but laugh, sneaking her arms around him the best she can. "Cole..honey, you have to wake up. You're gonna squish me-" She presses a kiss to his neck, chuckling when he gives her a sleepy hug as he wakes up. "Nn..Is it time to get up and fight already?" Cole slowly gets up off of Deity, stretching. "Yes, it is. You, Zane and Jay are my mains, so we need to hurry and get to the bridge." After dressing in their gear, Deity and Cole join the others in the bridge. "Nya, park us behind that set of tall trees." Nya nods, and Deity turns to Zane and Jay, with Cole standing next to her. "Are we clear on what we discussed last night? Never split apart unless another teammate is in danger. Always keep your communication clear and precise." Zane is focused, but he can't help but smile under his hood. "Understood. Now, how do we descend?" Deity pauses at her brother's question as Lloyd and Kai get ready to leave. "Silently. Leave the ship and go through the trees. Vehicles would be too noisy." She crosses her arms, trying to think. "Zane, can you send Falcon off when we descend to survey the area? Jay, I want you and Cole a few feet ahead, ready for anything."
The trio before her all nod in confirmation as they begin to leave the ship, dropping down into the trees. Zane sets Falcon free, shutting his eyes and reopening them to his Falcon Vision. Deity holds up her hand silently to Cole and Jay. "Anything?" Zane tilts his head in mild curiosity. "They are..on the move, but it looks as though they've got a hostage-" He let out a shaky gasp. "Slither. They've captured Slither!" Deity swallowed. The Venomari girl who helped Zane free her. Speaking into her comm link, she hesitated. "Team two, advance behind team one with caution. They have a hostage." Lloyd's voice came over the comm next. "Hostage? Who? Not important. Hostages are to be taken care of first. Team two will proceed with caution as advised." As they silently followed the snakes, Deity waited til the snakes sat Slither down for a rest, then sent Kai down to grab her. Within moments, Slither was in Kai's arms and headed back to the ship. "Hostage secured, proceeded with ambush." Kai's voice echoed in their comm links, and now Deity and her three mains dropped down on the ground, near a cliff. "Viper, we're not letting you get away! Not after what you made me do!" Zane stood by his sister, shuriken out and ready. "And you aren't getting near the city, either." His eyes narrow as Cole readied his scythe. The fight began with Deity leading the charge. Back and forth, slice after slice, Deity did her best against the leader of the uprising. A particularly harsh blow from Viper knocked her back a few feet, but she shakily stood and steadied herself. "Zane, do you remember what we discussed? Stay ready!" Deity said over the comm link, and the droid nodded, fighting off to Deity's left. He grunted and held his shuriken up to block a blow from a Constrictai, blasting the black and orange snake with ice.
"Understood! Make sure the other two are ready!" Deity nodded and looked to Cole, who smacked a Venomari back against a tree with his scythe and strength. "Why don't you take a nap right there!" Cole said, the line finishing his harsh blow. Deity rolled her eyes and chuckled, only to be kicked back by a Fangpyre defending Viper. Deity grunted as she landed harshly on the ground, and both Jay and Zane stood in front of her as she shakily got up, cracking her neck. "You leave our sister alone!" The lightning master's hands sparked, as Zane stood defensively by his side. They were giving her time to get herself steady again. Jay zapped the snake, as Deity came up behind them. "Alright, alright boys. I'm good, lets just fight. For the city!" She said as she lunged a full frontal attack with Zane and Jay, the trio beating back the snakes-until more came from inside the forest. They were getting outnumbered. Deity grunted as she took a right hook from a Constrictai, falling back. "Deity, get up!" It was Lloyd's voice in her comm link, as he watched from the trees with Kai. "You can do this! Zane, Jay and Cole can't take them on alone! Get up, Siren!" Deity grunted and shakily forced herself into a sitting position, holding her jaw. "Where is.." Lloyd had left the shadows to help her stand, watching Kai trying to beat back the snakes with Zane, Jay and Cole. "Over there. Come on, Siren. I'll help you stand, just tell me what you need." Deity shakily stands with Lloyd's help, taking a breath and briefly stretching. "Get the boys back here, and hold the line with Samurai X and Kai." Lloyd nods, doing as he's told. "Zane, Ice!" It takes the droid a minute, but Zane focuses and creates an ice ramp. "Good. Jay, Cole, you ready?" Jay is running behind Deity as they run up the ramp with Cole at the top, pushing her up the slick ice to help her momentum.
"Ready. You sure you can handle Cole doing that?" Deity nods as they near the top, swallowing. "I've handled worse. He won't hurt me." Jay only nods, giving her a final push toward Cole. "Full speed, Cole! Throw her!" Cole gave a grunt of confirmation as he caught Deity's gloved hand, spinning once and tossing her out over the snakes in an arc. "Zane! Cover your ears! All of you!" All did as they were told, as Deity took a deep, quick breath. As she sailed over the snakes, she let out a loud, high pitched sonic scream, watching the Serpentine wail and cover their ears in horror. She grunted as she landed in the open palm of the Samurai X mech, taking a few breaths to try and calm down. That always took a lot out of her. "Are you okay?" Kai called over the comm link, as Deity nodded and waved to the fire master down below. A few of the Serpentine flee, but the majority of them recover as they fight the rest of the ninja. Climbing down off the mech, Deity heads back over to the other side to fight with Jay, Cole and Zane. "Kai! Lloyd! Fight from the other side and we'll try and push them back from both sides!" As they fight, Deity notices a few Serpentine heading in the direction of the ship. "Plan change. Kai, Lloyd and Samurai X, defend the Bounty and Slither!" Deity grunts as she's pushed by the snakes, trying to hold them back with Cole and Zane. "Jay! Zap a few to give us some breathing room here!" Jay nods and runs off to the right side of the snakes, zapping as many as he can without overexerting himself. A small portion of the snakes retreat, but Viper is still leading the charge. "Stubborn Hypnobrai!" Viper hisses and shoves Deity, grunting as he punches her in the stomach. "Pathetic failure!" Viper retorts, as Deity slams her sai into his arm.
"At least I don't have to hypnotize others to do my dirty work!" Viper recoils back, holding his bleeding arm. "Acrid! Fire!" A Venomari whips his head around and spits venom, only for it to be blocked by Cole's arm. The earth master shakes the venom off his arm and punches the Venomari in the face. "Didn't mama snake ever teach you it's not polite to spit at people?! Zane, freeze'em out!" Zane looks at Deity to make sure she's alright, then nods and blasts a few snakes with ice-including the Venomari that tried to put venom in Deity's eyes. The snakes are becoming fewer in number..but there's still so many. As the fight goes on, Deity doesn't realize she's being singled out. The snakes are retreating. Why are they retreating? Only four snakes remain, while the rest hang back. "You're a dissgrace to your mother'ss name!" Viper taunts, shoving Deity back while Cole, Jay and Zane are fighting the other three snakes. "My mother was a strong woman, and despite her job, she would've never worked for a snake like you!" A swift, hard punch from Viper is all it takes for her to realize why she was being pushed away from the others. Viper and the other three snakes retreat as Deity falls off the cliff, only to shakily grip the cliff's edge. "Guys! I'm slipping!" The gloved fingers of her human hand slip one by one off the cliff. "Cole! Anchor!" Jay yells, and the three form a human ladder with Cole as the anchor, and Zane at the very end. Zane grabs Deity's hand just as she loses her grip and falls, with Jay holding the nindroid's legs. "Zane! Pull her up!" Jay calls from behind the him. Zane slowly pulls her up-only to have her slip back down. "Frosty! What's the hold up down there?!" Zane flinches at Cole's worried voice over the comm link, seeing the slight fear in his sister's eyes. Deity and Zane's hands are shaking, fingers tense but losing strength. Zane calls back over the comm link, his voice panicked.
"I can't hold her! My fingers are slipping!"
