"RRRAAAAAAAAAWWWRRR!"
The creature's roar shook the board beneath Nicki as its tentacles shot toward her. As they approached, a pulse of energy flowed down the creature's neck and into the tentacles. The energy climbed the limbs to the arrowheads' bases where blasts of wind manifested and propelled them through the air like rockets.
The tentacles caught Nicki off guard when they stretched past her presumed limit and closed in on her. On reflex, she shot a big cyclone down to them but the tentacles flew threw it. With no time to respond, she was knocked off her board and tumbled through the air into the swarm of tentacles.
"AAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
The arrowheads scraped across Nicki's free falling body and left numerous wounds. They seemed to be unable to control their aim very well, since none of them could impale her. But above her, they were twisting around and targeting her for a second strike.
Despite the pain across her body, Nicki forced her falling body to level out in the air. She aimed herself toward the creature's unguarded head and propelled her body forward with her hand's cycones.
"Change pattern: Mud Brawler"
Nicki curled herself into a ball as her swimsuit became splotched with a light brown camouflage pattern that almost blended into her skin. The muscles in her arms and shoulders expanded as they started to become stone and cracked. Mud seeped between the cracks as her stone arms sifted into packed stones. The mud spread across her body from her arms where it packed and hardened into a shell around her. The tentacles where knocked to the side as they bounced off the boulder-like armor.
The shell crumbled against the side of the creature's head on impact and knocked it back. As it recovered from the blow, Nicki seeped the mud from her arms into the ridges along the creature's body to strengthened her grip on its hide. Anchored to the creature, she crudely bandaged her wounds with the mud as it spread up and around her torso.
Once the mud encompassed Nicki with a barnacle-like shell, she pulled her arms out of the solidifying stone and lifted them over her head. Her closed fists enlarged as she pooled mud into her arms and slammed them down into the creatures face and continued to punch its head as the fists continued to grew. The punches felt awkward as the head shifted beneath her with each blow, but each was a solid hit.
Nicki's punches were interrupted when she felt a pulse of energy beneath her feet. Orange energy crackled between the ridges of its skin and gathered into its forehead, where a glowing brown gemstone emerged alongside a larger green one. She felt like an idiot once she recognized her magic radiating from the gems.
The brown gem's energy started to ripple across the creature's body and flow into its tentacles. Nicki watched as her magic morphed the tentacles. Some of their tips inflated like balloons and replaced the arrowhead form with big clumps of flesh that swung toward her like wrecking balls. She was able to block the tentacles with her stone arms but once they made contact, thick spikes burst out of them and tore into her arms.
THOOM! THOOM! THOOM!
After a few more hits, Nicki's arms broke apart and she was exposed to the rest of the tentacles falling upon her.
