(The Maw - The Residence)

Twelve, Six and RK silently walked through the hall, hearing the brushing of hair in the room not to far ahead. The three waited at the entrance of the small room while they waited for the perfect moment to pass by, unfortunately for them, a loose floorboard would catch the attention of The Lady and incur her wrath onto them. With a scream she vanished, making a loud wooshing sounds as if the wind had been passing through heavily.

Twelve lit the nearby area up with his expanded wings, he knew the attack would come from the darkness, he just didn't know from where. "Run but stay together!" He said as he, Six and RK began to rush through the rooms of the Residence, getting stuck as the door out of the room with a hand held mirror slammed shut with magic. The three stood back to back watching every direction as it was Six who knew exactly how to kill The Lady, she searched for the mirror and there it was, still laying upon the same pillow as always, ready to be picked up, and made a weapon.

Six turned to Twelve and RK, "That mirror is our only chance to beat her, I need you to cover me. Can you do that?" Six asked as the atmosphere became dark, so dark the only light came from the Flashlight and Twelve's solar wings, Six's lighter became practically useless as she couldn't she more than two feet in front of her.

Twelve thought of another way to get the mirror Six was talking about, flight. And high speed flight at that. Twelve grinned as he began gathering wind, preparing to launch himself, "As my father typically said during game night, the Blitzkrieg technique will always work on an unsuspecting enemy." With a single flap of his wings he flew, straight towards the mirror, then straight towards The Lady as she stood in front of the mirror's location and Twelve's terminal velocity flight.

Twelve was suddenly stopped, all of his momentum was cut, and he was placed in a hover, or what he thought was a hover, as he looked down he noticed black and purple particles around his body, and from the darkness, The Lady's pale hand was held up towards him. "Maybe not always." He immediately recognized she had some kind of telekinesis-like ability or something similar. The area around him felt void-like, empty, like nothing existed there.

That didn't save him from being thrown across the room however.

When Twelve was tossed across the room by the Lady's magic, he crashed into the door handle, hitting his head and back, concussing him. His vision blurred as his eyes searched, even worse when he moved. The constant motion blur was making Twelve nauseous and effectively taking him out of the fight for the moment. The Lady wasn't finished, as she picked him up again, opened the door and slammed it shut on his leg, crushing it leg in the door. Twelve's leg was ensnared in the door, caught in a way that wouldn't allow him to move, to make matters worse The Lady used her telekinesis to throw several heavy boxes at him, he was now stuck and trapped, effectively made helpless in this state.

RK and Six weren't ready for the sudden shift in tide as who was effectively their assault class squadmate getting beaten in less than a minute. They were now sitting ducks, Six knew that, and she hated it. RK quickly grabbed Six by the hand as moved quickly as The Lady disappeared, Twelve was creating enough of a distraction under all of the wreckage to still be considered a threat in the eyes of The Lady thankfully, and RK was about to exploit the hell out of the situation. He boosted Six up to the mirror and caught it when she threw it down to him, a spotlight from above began tracking the two as they moved slowly, every few seconds The Lady would circle them, playing with her food before being thwarted by the mirror.

RK was unsure how the mirror was working against The Lady he wasn't going to question it while she was still actively trying to kill them.

RK had repelled the Lady about 3 times before she used her magic to throw him across the room and trapped him under heavy broken mirror frames. He could move them, but very slowly as too much would possibly cause more to fall onto him or cause him to cut himself on the remaining shards of glass lest he start to bleed out. Six was now the last one standing as her friends had both been trapped. She didn't wait even a moment before picking up the mirror and turning it against The Lady.
