I got a raikim in battle prompt up on tumblr, so here it is!
She's going through the motions now- duck, flip, punch, and kick. Her muscles scream in protest and her breathing is ragged, and each movement she makes feels as though it would be her last.
But the beasts keep coming, so Kimiko keeps fighting.
She's lost sight of Omi and Clay a while ago, the two of them disappeared into the writhing mass of shadowy creatures that's plagued the Temple. But she knows nothing too terrible has happened to them, she hopes she'd sense if if any of them has fallen.
Raimundo is a wild blur in the corner of her eye. His face is set into a grimace of concentration, and she feel the wind shifting and moving at his beck and call.
A moment of distraction, and a beast sinks it's claws into her thigh. Kimiko yelps and lobs a fistful of flames directly into it's terrifyingly blank face. The pain is a quick flare, and the creature releases her with a howl.
Then there's a familiar hand on her arm, pulling her behind him so that they're back to back. Teamwork is the game, something they've always unconsciously excelled at. Wind and fire only stands to strengthen the other. At least that's what they've always been told.
Kimiko squeezes Raimundo's hand briefly before resuming a fighting stance.
