Making the team (Any Dragonling/open)

[Kyrie Blaze]

No response forthcoming from Kiyr, meaning they were aware of what they needed to be to fight at least moderately effectively against the Earth Dragon.

[Jackson]

Jackson Qi-jumped into the air and landed on the platform that everyone else was on. One of the escape platforms. He had his Bat ready, and another sphere formed in his hand ready to go at Levi's word.

[Kazuya Hikari]

Kazuya jumping up onto the platform after everyone else was already on, the platform rising high up into the air soon after. Placing his blade back in its sheath, Kazuya would look at Levi, and nod slightly, indicating he understood.

"I think it would be a good idea to form five more platforms, Levi. If we all attack from the same direction, sooner or later, Mathew will figure out where everyone is standing. If we can diversify which direction our attacks are coming from, coupled with Mathew no longer being able to detect our positions through our footsteps, we might be able to keep him guessing."

Engulfing his hands once more in flames, both of his palms facing the mini-mountain Mathew had created, he would increase the temperature of the flames to the highest and hottest level he could attain, and would fire a rapid barrage of fire blasts from his hands, and if Levi created the platforms, would switch over to one of them. As long as they weren't on the platform they attacked from, hopefully Mathew would not land a hit on them.

[Mathew Amtrum]

Mathew and his mountain didn't seem to make any move as they planned and even when Kazuya started to fire at the mountain! Probably because Mathew was not in there anymore. He used it as cover to hide the fact that he was moving underground again. Waiting to see who would be the first one on the ground. Which as of now was no one, though he could feel the blasts hit his mini mountain. He would be patient for now.

[Levi Kayamei]

Levi felt Mathew's movement underground as his brow furrowed in thought. Getting Mathew while he was underground was going to be a challenge. He looked down as he made 6 platforms and moved them to surround the "battlefield" that was centered around Mathew's mountain, a ray of light connecting them to Levi. As he lowered the platform to be level with the other six he shouted out to Kazuya.

He just went underground! Be ready!

He looked at the ones still on the platform with a smile.

"Well, it'll require a decent amount of focus, but I have an idea, if you don't want to be on the ground, I suggest ot move to one of the others."

Once everyone was off, Levi hopped onto one of the other platforms as he allowed the larger one to disappate. Levi's arms stretched out as he formed two shoes out of solid light around his own feet and stepped out of them. He then moved them to the ground with a beam of light connecting them to his hands as he put enough weight behind them to his own, making them step around a bit and turn as he would. He face was stoic as he maintained his focus while he spoke.

"......he has no idea where we are right now, so let's take advantage of that when he comes up......IF he comes up....."

His forehead to sweat as his focus was currently dispered and he was certainly feeling some strain, he wasn't sure how long he could maintain the current number of objects he had out.

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

Rai jumped off onto one of the platforms and assumed a kneeling position closing his eyes. He covered his fist in blood awaiting the next attack. Or Levi's order whichever came first. Alright master. Where are you hiding...

[Aryn Valcoph]

Aryn moseyed on over to another platform with a nimble jump. She wasn't sure when or even if Mathew would pop up, but she wasn't willing to be the bait, either.

And unfortunately there were no cracks for her to fire down into, but she would work with what she could. She built up the heat, lifting her hands so she had a focus point between them, focusing on the heat, the pressure, and building it up.

When she was certain she couldn't hold it if she put any more effort into creating it, she shifted on her platform and shot a blast at the earth, testing something. Hopefully it had been enough to simulate a person abruptly landing on the ground.

Troll meet Troll?

[Kyrie Blaze]

No change from Kiyr, who was simply maintaining her focus and endurance with staying in Kazuya's shadow.

[Jackson]

Jackson Qi-jumps to Aryn's platform, and lands, Qi slowing his descent.
"Hey, there. You come here often?" he asked her, in a deadpan tone. His Bat was now covered in a smoky shield, as well as his left hand.

[Kazuya Hikari]

Having already moved to one of the other six platforms Levi constructed soon after his flame barrage, Kazuya would nod slightly at Levi, and continuing to keep his hands and feet engulfed in flames, he'd close his eyes, block out all other sounds, and keep his senses keenly tuned for Mathew's movement... and only Mathew's movement.

[Mathew Amtrum]

Mathew stays underground still!

[Levi Kayamei]

Levi maintained his focus as he rose the platforms a bit higher, to the third story in the air as their counters would be ranged at this point and anything Mathew did would require maximum reaction time.....he had honestly expected Mathew to do something and if he was doing something, Levi couldn't tell.

"No body move, and stay on your toes, he's up to something, no idea what though..."

A forced chuckle through his strained focus escaped his lips.

"...Or he's trolling us....heh"

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

Rai staid put calming his mind entering a meditative state but was staying battle ready as Mathew had taught him to do.

Rose hadn't moved once since the fight started she was enjoying the show, and was now curious as to what would happen next.

[Aryn Valcoph]

Aryn's feet splayed wider as Jackson landed on her platform. She gave him a smile and a lazy, half-salute and wink as she let her Qi dissipate.

"Always. You, sugar~?"

[Jackson]

"Eh, this place is pretty lame.." Jackson replied with a shrug. He covered his Bat with Air, and turned to Aryn, "I think we can help each other out. I've got Air, and you've got Fire. They compliment each other, and I think together we can reach new heights. Whaddaya say?"
