Climbing the Highest Peak! (Raleth)

Mission :

The sun had just begun to rise as Zaine pulled himself from bed reluctantly to get his day started- he had been dreading the idea of a mission that involved simply climbing a mountain peak was anything but thrilling. The only saving grace was that it would allow him to spend some time with his old friend Raleth- the young Uchiha had been a bit busy lately since achieving the rank of Jounin and couldnt even remember the last time the two had simply sat down and had some tea. "Knowing him, hes probably over the moon about this mission. Ill have to keep him from doing any damage to the landscape so that we can complete the mission." He would think to himself as he readied himself, gathering his prized weapon and strapping it onto his back before grabbing and securing his weapons pouches to his lower back on both the left and the right. He would exit his home and take out the folded piece of paper he had placed in his back pocket- unfolding the paper, he reread the message printed upon it that outlined exactly what he and his partner would be doing once they arrived at their destination. Apparently, an asteroid had crash landed atop a summit peak and there were instructions to go gather pieces of it and bring them back down- a simple enough request but the mission had been labeled an A rank and Zaine couldn't help but wonder if there was more to the mission than these instructions let on.

Without warning the piece of paper would begin to glow bright white as beams of light extended out from it and wrapped around him until he was completely encompassed by the light. He would open his eyes, revealing what might be the tallest summit he had ever seen- he began to shiver just a bit as the frosted climate embraced his body and the realization set in that he hadnt dressed very well for this occasion. "H-h-hopef-f-ully Ral dressed w-w-well f-for this." Having lived in the fire country and wind country his entire life, he had become quite accustomed to harsh and warmer climates but hadnt done much to desensitize himself to colder weather- an idea came to his mind as he reached for the blade on his back and smiled down at it. He would hold it only a few inches from his torso as he injected 40 AP into it, setting it ablaze in a flame that extended out from the steel one foot around in total- he would let out a sigh of relief he directed his attention back to the summit before him "Thats much better. Now, where could Raleth be? I mean hes usually late but I was late on purpose in hopes that we would arrive at the same time." He would say as he looked around, waiting patiently for his partner to arrive.

Equipment/Jutsu Used & Calcs:

A strange wind brought an exciting chill to the village hidden in the sand, Sunagakure. Before the sun rose, the immense, and ash-haired Raleth Sarutobi could be seen in his back porch, kneeling with his eyes closed, wearing a morning robe and in the center of a garden cultivated by his hands. Bursting Citrus hangs from the stalks of plants, wild flowers bloom with love and gaiety. Tea leaves waft their lulling scent, and neighbor berries that glow with sweetness and flavor. He inhales, the aroma of fruit and flowers fills his nostrils and trickles down his throat. He exhales, and the aroma passes over his tongue, and gives him the smallest taste of his back-porch garden. The exciting chill breezes through the open porch, a shiver runs up the stalks of plants, and up the spine of Raleth. He opens his eyes, and greets the new morning with a hardy smile. He stands, enjoying the brisk wind, and leaves his back porch.

Walking into his house, he goes to his kitchen to set up the tea kettle. He picks a combination of black-and-ginger tea with a hint of orange peel, a concoction that would warm the body and keep the mind sharp. After putting it on the burner, he goes to his bedroom to get ready. He takes off his morning robe and puts it on the hanger, he goes to his closet. He grabs his dune-colored flak jacket, and layers it over a black half-sleeve shirt. He puts each legs through a pair of straight black pants, and slides into his shinobi sandals. He grabs his weapon pouches, and his fuma-shuriken, and places them on his person. He then goes deep into his closet, and pulls out a thick, white-fur lined coat with a detachable hoodie. The outside of this coat is black, and puffs out with down and insulation. The zippers and buttons are white, as is the concentric circle, the symbol of the Sarutobi, that shines on the back of the coat. Raleth grabs this heavy coat, and another one as the tea kettle in the kitchen whistles. 

He exits his bedroom and goes in the kitchen, and pours the steaming hot tea into two thermoses. As he lets it cool, he grabs a straw basket and goes to his back porch. He fills the basket with strawberries, apples, and oranges, and goes back inside. Gathering the rest of his things in a pack, he feels he's ready to depart. He goes to his dining table, and grabs the small white note left to him by his good friend, Zaine Uchiha.

He mentioned this was an A-Rank mission, I wonder what it could be?

The immense chuunin turns the white paper around, and sees no discernable stamps or markings on it. He brings it to his nose, and the faintest smell of peppermint wafts from the paper.

Strange...

The ash-haired Sarutobi opens the paper, and reads the contents. Joy wells from Raleth's base, and flood his entire being as he reads the mission.

Climbing the highest mountain!? In the land of iron!?? MAGNIFICENT! This is will be a glorious journey and trek, and will no doubt be filled with many challenges and obstacles! 

As Raleth thinks on his excitement, the peppermint-scented, white paper vibrates in his hand. White light bursts from the paper, and envelopes Raleth Sarutobi, momentarily blinding him.

In the instant he's blinded, his vision returns, but he's no longer in the confines of his warm home. In front of him is a staggeringly tall mountain, whose peak reaches high above the clouds, and seems to scrape the top of the atmopshere. A cold a bitter wind batters the immense chuunin's body, he would violently shiver if it wasn't for the sudden warmth that ignited near him. Turning, he see's his friend and comrade, Zaine Uchiha. He looks at the black-haired jounin's flaming sword.

"Glad to see you're always prepared, Zaine!"

A boisterous laugh bellows from Raleth, he slides his hands into his thick, black, white-fur trimmed coat.

"Still, no need to spend chakra on just keeping warm!"

Raleth hands Zaine a thick, black-fur trimmed, red coat, with gold buttons and zippers. On the back of the coat is the Fan, the symbol of the Uchiha, in all black. As Zaine grabs it, Raleth hands him some fruit from the basket, and a thermos of still-hot-tea. 

The Sarutobi and Uchiha enjoy a nice and warm breakfast, in the freezing land of Iron. As they finish, Raleth speaks.

"So, what's the plan? From here, I can scarce see the top! I'm not sure what awaits us on the mountain, but I know both you and I could handle. Perhaps we should walk to its base, and get a better view from there?"

[[797]]

Only a few minutes would pass before a familiar sound could be heard accompanied with a beaming light that was quite similar to the one he had just experienced- if his guess was correct then when the light cleared, it would leave in its wake his old friend Raleth who hopefully had been more prepared than Zaine for this weather. As the light cleared he would be proven correct and more over would see that the large Sarutobi came dressed for the cold and had fruit and hot tea with him as well- he would speak on the sword lit ablaze for the pure purpose of keeping him warm as it seemed he had not just dressed himself for the weather but brought a coat for Zaine as well. He would sheath Benihime and catch the cloak in one smooth motion, dawning it and taking note of his clan symbol that was placed on its back- smirking he couldnt help but be thankful "This is one time that I have to say you came more than prepared, unlike myself. Also, your taste in clothing never disappoints Ral. I think ill be keeping this cloak for the future." He would accept the fruit from the basket along with the thermos, sipping from the thermos he would sigh in relief as the taste rushed across his tongue "Ahhh, Ginseng. Simple, but oh so refreshing." The young uchiha said as he capped the thermos and took a large bite out of a hearty apple- his partner ascertained as to what their plan for scaling the mountain would be which confused him slightly as it seemed pretty straight forward, though he assumed Raleth wanted to spice things up in a similar fashion to what took place in the grove. Uncapping his thermos he would drink from it once again before speaking "Well, we could always make this into a training exercise and climb it in a traditional fashion however i'm sure youre looking for a more flashy approach. So maybe we coul-" just then, rumblings could be heard from a location no more than 10 meters from their standing position- the very snow around their feet quaked and popped around indicating that this phenomenon was being caused by a formidable force. The young Uchiha would sigh reluctantly as he closed his eyes, capping his thermos once again simultaneously before fixing his expression to one of urgency and revealing his matured three-tomoe sharingan. He scanned the nearby area shifting his vision from left to right with haste until he came across something quite interesting- cyan colored chakra seemed to trail off 3 meters from their location at 9 o'clock, thickening as it made its way south from them towards its source of origin. He followed this trail of chakra as the rumbling continued to grow in power, the chakra source drawing nearer until IT was in clear sight.

Standing at a hulking and massive 3 and a half meters appeared a beast who looked as if he was covered entirely in snow, his eyes an icy and darkened blue that carried the cyan blue chakra Zaine had previously observed within them. Not a moment more passed before it would pound the ground beneath them with both of its bulky arms while letting out a deafening roar- the time for breakfast had passed it seemed.. well at least for one of the shinobi. "Well I guess our ascent to the top of the mountain is gonna have to wait. I dont think our friend here is planning to let us go along peacefully." He studied the chakra within the beast noting that it carried a densely powered enormous quantity of the cyan chakra, which at this point he deduced had to mean that the monster would utilize jutsu that capitalized on their environment- he would smirk as he turned his back to both the beast and his dear friend uncapping his thermos once again and finding a tree covered in sleet and snow 4 meters from Raleth. Leaning up against the tree he would take a large sip of the tea that had been so wonderfully prepared, "I figure there's no point in arguing about who gets a crack at him first as I would bet all the ryo I have that you're just aching to have at that frosted monstrosity. So.." his eyes would spin wildly, the triangulated tomoe dancing around his constricted pupil for a few seconds before coming to an abrupt halt, "Go on. Lets see which of you two is a real beast." 


Looking at the two men the established and respectable tundra hardened lord snarled at the sight of the shorter one turning his back and choosing to distance himself- Kyotico(his true name) raised each of his sizeable feet one by one as he made his way closer to the larger of the two men, making his intent more clear with each advance. He maintained consistent eye contact as he got within 5 meters of Raleth, sizing him up and scoffing loudly at the appearance he displayed. Without another moment wasted he would dash at the Sarutobi at a speed of 80, digging both of his clawed paws into the ground and scooping them up with great force- the result being  5 spikes made completely of hardened snow with a power of 50, flying at a speed of 50. A distraction, sent in the hopes that these spikes would be intercepted and he could assault his foe with his mighty strength.

[WC=920]

Zaine speaks of their approach on the mountain, and an idea blooms inside Raleth's mind. He's reminded of an old training exercise, one that included an intense amount of weight while trying to scale a bare cliff-face. Perhaps we could do the same thing, but expose ourselves to the elements? thinks Raleth as Zaine mentions a "flashy" approach. 

A cold shiver runs up Raleth's spine, an intense and frost-bitten presence comes into the range of Raleth's senses, as if it jumped from the summit of the mountain. It lands, and quakes the snow-covered earth. Zaine sighs and closes his thermos, Raleth turns his head in the direction of the presence. With each ponderous step closer, the ground shakes, bringing a cheerful smile to the Sarutobi's face. 

A harsh chill blows with the wind, the snow-born beast walks up to the sungakure shinobi. Its blue-ice-eyes would leer at the two, and it would ball its clawed-paws into fists. It would bellow and roar, and thunder the ground with its massive arms. It would return its ice-gaze to the two intruders, and would note a curious expression on the taller of the two. Beaming eyes and a joyous smile would greet the snow beast, Raleth could not hide his excitement. As the Uchiha speaks, his words pass over the Sarutobi, as he is entirely focused on the monstrous beast that's revealed itself. Zaine walks away, jesting about betting ryo on who could "take a crack at it first." The beast scoffs at the Uchiha, Raleth smirks and brings his fist to to his open palm in front of him, cracking his knuckles. "You'd lose that bet, Zaine. And remember," says Raleth as he stretches his neck and rolls his shoudlers. Overflowing joy colors his words, his basso-voice booms over the tundra as he yells, "IT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO EXERT ONESELF AFTER A HARDY BREAKFAST! SUCH THINGS KEEP THE BODY NIMBLE AND THE MIND SHARP! WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPURTUNITY TO BATTLE SUCH A WORTHY FOE!!!!" Raleth would end his speech with a magnificent pose of martial perfection, in reverence and respect to the sneering, snow-born beast that is now 5 meters away.

A harsh feeling runs down Raleth's back as he inhales through his nose and brings his hands together, the creature charges at an incredible speed. It plunges its clawed-paws into the snow, frost-bitten chakra surges from the snow-beast as Raleth Sarutobi exhales from his mouth and forms the blooming flower handseal.

The Lord of the Tundra, Kyotico, scoops up his massive paws and launches five hardened snow-spikes at the Raleth. Pressure and heat burst from the body of the Sarutobi, melting the snow around him. His eyes have gone white, viciousness shines from his wide smile, he activates The Breath of Temperance.

Raleth reacts to the ice attack, and drops to the to the ground like a monkey waiting to pounce at a speed of 125, and springs forward at a speed of 105, ducking under the snow-spikes and avoiding the snow-beasts attack. He brings his legs up and catches himself in a crouch, and jumps to the right of the charging Kyotico. Before the Tundra Lord would pass him, Raleth would stand and maneuver behind the snow beast at a speed quicker than it could react. If succesful, Raleth would wrap his arms around the body of the massive, three-and-a-half meter Tundra Lord and plant his feet in the snow. Pushing through with his legs, Raleth, using at most 75 strength, would pick up Kyotico with a mighty Orrrraa!! and would suplex the Tundra Lord, quaking the ground with Kyotico's bulk and slamming his body and skull onto the frost-covered earth. If successful, the suplex would leave the snow-beast reeling, and Raleth would use this time to release his hold and maneuver away from the Tundra Lord. 

Raleth would stay in melee range, in his fighting stance, with his senses honed to a razors edge. His feet would be shoulder width apart, his left foot would be in front of his right. His left palm would be relaxed and face his opponent, his right hand would be closer to his chest, and closed. That same, vicious smile plasters the red-tinted face of the Sarutobi, the joy of combat shines through his white eyes: Raleth knows the fun is about to begin.

Stats/Jutsu/Skills/AP:

Upon witnessing the display put on by the large ashen haired warrior Kyotico was filled with excitement- the shinobi was able to melt his frosted assault with nothing more than his chakra and sheer effort, this display was nothing short of magnificent. Kyotico would roar with gusto as this happened, signifying that he respected his opponent and wished for the battle to carry forward. Just then, the large man would move at speeds faster than he was able to react to, but not faster than he could see- it seemed that the ashen haired shinobi planned to flank him and deliver a decisive grapple maneuver, one that Kyotico invited with a confident glare couple with a refusal to move from his spot. The shinobi would wrap his arms around the beast and hoist him upward, during which a expression of utter shock would lay on the face of Kyotico- a man of this size being able to lift him and subsequently slam him into the ground, it was unheard of! This would take place causing a massive rumbling in the surrounding area and leaving the sizeable tundra hardened beast buried from the waist up, his legs bent back at the knees. 

A smirk would come over his face as the young Uchiha watched on at his partner amp things up by entering the Seven Heavenly Breaths formation- his coat would ripple in the arctic wind that had been augmented by the power the Sarutobi was generating. The outward expression of this power paled in comparison to the chakra that could be viewed from within Raleth- a dense and almost violent chakra exploded through him has her readied himself to charge the beast. The muscle fibers in his legs contracted and squeezed before releasing and resulting in the eruption of physical prowess that his friend had honed for so many years but something was strange.. It seemed as though their foe had no intentions of counteracting Raleth's advance and was almost inviting him to strike, even daring him to. The ashen haired shinobi would take this invitation with open arms, literally, as he wrapped them around the beast and utilized what might have been half of his true strength to bring the yeti from his footing crashing into the snow head first. This maneuver caused such a rumbling that the tea Zaine was just about to drink from his thermos spilled all over the ground and some even got on his new coat- he would look down at the snow ehere the tea had fallen and mixed in with it as he sighed. "Can't ever enjoy anything when he decides to fight." He would toss the thermos to the ground as he pressed himself from the tree he was leaning on- he figured the fight had ended, but he couldnt have been more wrong.

The rumbling that had previously ended began to pick up in what seemed to be a much stronger force as the legs of their opponent straightened out- Kyotico would be expelled from the ground along with a flurry of snow and earthen bits as he returned to a standing position. The large beast would turn to Raleth revealing that its head was at a complete horizontal slant, its neck clearly broken- its left arm dangle and wobbled showing that it too was broken, but how could this beast still be moving with such extensive injuries? Zaine could hardly believe his eyes as he saw the light blue chakra within Kyotico concentrating itself at the site of its injuries- this was coupled with a steam that began to emit from its neck and arm as his head slowly turned back to anatomical position and his arm straightened out allowing him to move it up and down before he closed his paw into a fist. It was now clear that this creature had an affinity towards the medical ninjutsu arts as well as combat and was able to heal utilizing the chakra and environment around him- it might not even have been too much of a stretch to assume that he was constructed from this environment itself. 

The expression of confidence and reassurance vanished from Zaine's face as he saw Kyotico turn to Raleth at a speed of 80 and open his mouth, releasing a high density blast of ice that traveled at a speed and power of 80 towards Raleth who stood only 2 meters away from the beast. The blast would prove too fast for him to dodge but Zaine had confidence his partner would think of something to counteract this- the young Uchiha would toss his cloak off to the ground as he began to walk towards the two, understanding fully that this foe was not going to be one that can be taken down without their combined efforts.

[WC=803]

The sensation of chakra pulses from the body of the upturned ice-beast, the ground quakes and rumbles as it bursts upwards from the snow and earth. Its broken arm dangles from its shoulder, its head hangs sideways, at a crooked angle, its injuries should have disable it, or at least hampered its movements. Instead, a wicked smile spreads over the face of the Tundra Lord as that pulsing chakra flares in his body. Steam hisses to the wounds on its shoulder and neck, calming chakra swirls in this area. The ice-borne beast rolls his shoulder and moves his head, the damage he's sustained has been undone. He looks to his left paw, opens and closes it, and darts his glacier eyes to the ashen-haired Sarutobi. Kyotico turns and opens his toothy maw, a sensation forming in his mouth sends shivers down Raleth's body.

Frost and air pressurize in his mouth, The Lord of Ice releases a blast of cold air at 80 speed and 80 power toward Raleth, who reacts and jumps back at 135 speed, increasing the 2 meter distance between him and the ice attack. And, as he takes his first step backwards, he reaches into both weapon pouches and grabs an explosive tag and shuriken, and attaches the two together at 105 speed behind his back. Raleth lobs the tagged shuriken at 158 speed. The Sarutobi would throw the shuriken in such a way that it would travel in a wide arc over the pressurized chakra blast, and would be coming from towards side of Kyotico's injuries, to a space half a meter between his shoulder and neck.

As soon as it is within half a meter of the ice beast, Raleth, who has been dashing backwards to get out of range of the ice blast, would activate the explosive tag. Instantly, the paper bomb would ignite and explode into a 1 meter fireball at 55 speed and 55 power. 

The Tundra Lord, Kyotico, would see the projectile thrown from the large intruder. He would release his attack, and attempt to dodge backwards, as it was coming to his from his side. Yet, the speed at which the shuriken was greater than Kyotico's, and he himself was still caught in the range of the paperbomb explosion. His fur and skin would smolder and char, a snarl filled with rage would bellow from the beast as he was burned. He would flow his chakra to his wounds, steam would fizzle and his: the fire burning his body would slow his healing. He would roar, the affront to his Lordly visage, a mar on his beautiful face, would not stand. Raleth would see this as he got out of range of the attack, and would note that fire would be the best way to deal with this ice-made monstrosity. As if one cue, the red-eyed jounin, Zaine Uchiha, would walk up to the beast, a confident smirk plastered over his face.

Kyotico would turn to see the smaller intruder walking up to him. His look of confidence angered the insulted King of Ice, Kyotico would brandish a long, middle claw to the red-eyed human. Chakra and ice would form on the tip of this claw, wisps of frost would catch on the wind, Kyotico would slash at the snow. His chakra would flow into the ground, and soon a massive, 15 meter wide, 5 meter tall wave of ice, sleet, and snow would form and come crashing towards the Uchiha, who would be 7 meters away from the beast. This wave of snow would have 80 power, and move at a speed of 80. If struck, Zaine would be buried under many feet of snow, and would suffer broken bones and intense fractures to his body. 

Raleth, who has safely avoided the ice blast from the snow beast, watches to see what his friend would do. He chuckles, "Go easy on him, Zaine! He means well!!"

The unforgiving winds of the artic whipped his hair around wildly as he looked on at the beast, stout in stature and now shooting him a devilish grin accompanied with a suggestive finger that surprised the young Uchiha- "Well at least the beast has a sense of humor to match his monstrous strength..". His blade would remain sheathed as he focused his eyes on the paws of the creature noting a dense amount of chakra being focused into the arms of the beast and then funneled to the point of his claws- the tension building up in the muscle fibers of Kyotico gave the indication that he meant to drive his claws into the snow in order to inject his chakra and implement an attack. This was a similar maneuver to what he had utilized on Raleth previously and given this fact Zaine was presented with no true reason to worry- he watched as the snow riddled monster reached down, digging into the snow and subsequently raised his arms bringing up with him a tidal wave of frost that appeared quite similar to a technique that he had in his arsenal. The tomoe in his eyes began to spin swiftly around the constricted pupil that they triangulated as the attack approached and as they continued to spin his eyes would glow a brighter red- as the technique by kyotico reached the 6 meter mark from Zaine he would fly through the handsigns Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Tiger at a speed of 185, then with great strength he would inhale and focus the chakra he had built from his stomach and move it to his chest to finally expel it from his mouth in the form of a thin 6 inch stream of fire that expanded outward at a speed of 105 until it formed a fireball 20 meters in diameter. The fireball pushed forward at a speed and power of 105, the flames strong enough to be felt by Raleth from his location on the battlefield- its heat was intense enough to leave charred ground underneath it for the 20 meters of its width where snow used to lay and the snow wall that had been sent out at Zaine at a weaker strength had been completely engulfed. The fireball would continue to travel until it hit the arctic beast which would cause burns across his entire body and possibly even maim Kyotico from the force of impact- this attack while impressive would not be enough to subdue the beast and this was a fact he was not ignorant of.

There was no question of what was to come next due to this creatures affinity towards Iryojutsu- he would be able to heal himself back from just about any injury that could be inflicted, but this posed a question that peaked Zaine's interest, "What if I destroy so much of his body that he can't regenerate? Surely even a beast this formidable wont be able to take the full brunt of 'that' technique". Making use of his enhanced speed he dashed at a slant and to the right of his fireball and Kyotico in order to get into position for his next assault- constant vision would be held on his opponent as he awaited a counterattack/regeneration effort, for this was an integral action that he would take advantage of with his next jutsu.

Zaine- Jutsu used:

[WC=567]

Raleth feels a tremor of pressure pulse from Zaine, the Sarutobi see's the Uchiha's glowing eyes spin with malice and cunning. The pinwheel-eyed jounin flies through handseals, the tidal wave of ice and rock crashes forward, and the immense chuunin recognizes the final handsign for Great Fireball Jutsu.

Uh-oh...

The Uchiha, Zaine, spits out a massive, 20 meter fireball at kyotico, the wave of frost and earth melt away from the force and power of the jutsu. Kyotico, the Lord of the Tundra, stares into the flame, he roars and pounds his massive paws on his chest, in defiance to the strength of the one before him. Raleth, having been near the range of the attack, jumps back as the fireball blasts the ice-beast. He brings his arms up to shield his face and core, the heat and pressure of Zaine's jutsu batters the Sarutobi. Raleth lowers his arms, and is surprised to see Kyotico standing.

That's not good...

Surrounded by ash, soot, and dust, stands the ice-cloaked form of the Tundra Lord, Kyotico. His kneels down, his large arms are crossed over one another, his eyes are closed; as if concentrating. The strands of his fur have formed into a solid layer of ice, the 3 meter ice beast is draped by a regal cloak of snow and frost, and is crowned by shards of ice and chakra. Though this feat would seem impossible because his jutsu only has a dr of 90, it has an advantage against fire and wind attacks. As such, it would have a health of 120 compared to the fireballs 110. Even if the fire could damage him, his ice-beast-technique increases his regeneration capabilities, meaning he no longer has a weakness to burns. He stands up and claps his hands. Ice chakra pulses toward his palms, he separates his hands and forms a majestic staff of wind and hail. He brings both hands to the head of the scepter, and stamps it on the ground. He stands like the lord he his, and addresses the two that have intruded upon his lands, and mountain.

"Here me now," bellows and roars the articulate Kyotico, "those that  have had the misfortune on spying my Cloak of the Tundra Lord has never left alive. I tell you this, because you are the first to push me to using it. As such, I acknowledge your power, red-eyed human. Though this is an impossibility, if you or the large human ever find yourselves near my mountain, you will be greeted with open arms, and treated to a feast. But for today..." The ice and frost cloaked Lord points his wind-hail staff at Zaine. "I ask you to see yourself from my lands, and die."

Chakra and energy swirl around the head of the staff, and 10 meter wide blast of wind and razor hail bursts from the Tundra Lord's Scepter, at a power and speed of 95. Anything that would come into contact with it, including fire and wind of lower power, will freeze from the pressure and energy of the blast, the charred ground once again gets coated in frost as the attack rolls toward Zaine. 

Raleth looks to his friend, and sees a calm and collected expression on his face, as if he's had his response prepared.

What will he do?
