In a futile attempt to act quickly, Ume maneuvered herself towards the dragon’s tail, axe held well above her head. Before she had the pleasure of swinging it down, she felt a shift under her feet. With the use of its sturdy draconic features, it swept the sand right from beneath Umeko, knocking her prone. A blunder on her part, one not to be made again. Flaring further, ruffling its feathers to give an appearance of a dragon thrice its size.


[break][break]


Rising it, knock kneed, the sonic dragon turned its intense gaze upon Ume. Hissing, it bared its zipper-like teeth, some cracked from their dirty brawl. Analysis led Umeko to believe that a single misstep from here on out would lead to her demise. Astutely, she rose to her feet, taking an unnecessary combative stance while she tightly held her Wordline Superimposer one hand, and floating her seer’s orb the other.


[break][break]


The two circled one another, dancing a respectable waltz on the beach. Swinging open it’s jaw abruptly, Ume was the target of a second sonic boom. Any anticipation she may have built was made worthless by the sheer speed of sound. Knocked back, and taking notable levels of damage. Umeko, staggered. Seeing that his mortal enemy was dazed, the dragon leapt forward, ready to scoop Umeko up her jaws.


[break][break]


A wide open maw ahead of her, Umeko had one solution. Superimposed readied, she fired a second electrical blast into the dragon’s mouth. Too much electricity to handle, it recoiled in agony. Jumping to the side, Ume let her viewfinder dangle around her neck, opting to instead cleave the writhing tail. A coarse bellow crept from the dragon's jaws, as it slumped, defeated.

Removing her terrain data, Umeko reset the weather to its natural sunniness. With one tail tucked away into her inventory, she returned to the business of collecting.

Considering her options were difficult, she hadn’t even been given proper time to reassess her dire straits before she was struck again. Armed with a vicious flick, the dragon cleaved into Ume’s chest, scattering the rings of the mail underneath her vest. Her next few attempts to take refuge were met with similar results. Very little could withstand the keen, vorpal edge of the saber dragon’s tail.
[break][break]

Blood seeping its way through her shirt, she decided that it may be best to ditch the cover altogether. Slotting the dessert slide into her superimpose, she leveled the playing field in the dragon’s favor. No longer given meager protection by the thick canopy above, the two were left to the unrelenting judgment of a large, white sun. The heat only seemed to agitate the dragon, urging a staggered shriek. Lunging tail first, it swept wide, making it all the clear that it was looking to chop Ume down without prejudice.
[break][break]

Finding the slimmest margin to duck, Ume did just that. Its tail remained dangerous close; a simple flick would have lobbed off her head. Acting as fast as her meager speed could allow, she swung her aim to the midpoint of the dragon’s tail. Enhancing her fire blast with the power of the [World Inside a Lens] she set the dragon’s tail ablaze. It returned with an anguished screech.
[break][break]

Diving, she got some distance as the dragon continued to swing its tail around widely. Taking on an orange glow, the joint where she had set the fire began to warp the more it swung. Suffering one final slash leading to the last ring of her mail fleeing her bloodied clothes, Ume swung the axe into the softened joint, separating tail from dragon. Writhing, the dragon fled, defanged, barring the meter long swords it called fangs.

The struggle to stand on solid ground had nearly been her demise, now came the trickier struggle of standing atop a frozen patch of lake. Unhelped by the dampness provided by both the blood and rain that drenched her clothes, she fought against the cold to stand as strongly as she could muster. Her enemy suffered similar issues, wobbling his way onto his four legs. Eventually, finding himself happy to flap his way up into the air.
[break][break]

Hawkish eyes stared down, viewing the woman in the patch of ice as nothing but prey. Finally to her feet, she held her side. Most of her capabilities were ranged, so the dragon taking flight wasn’t an unforeseen complication. She could work with that, to an extent. Given her limited mobility, however, she couldn’t work within the glow that escaped through the dragon’s interlocking teeth. Her eyes widened. While she was perhaps better suited to tanking a fireball over a blade, she had suffered far too many slashes to comfortably be lit aflame.

[break][break]

Twisting her collection of [Terrain Data] she set them into a wild spin, accented by the whimsical whirl of a game show’s wheel. The red dragon’s jaw was forced open by a surge of pure fire, which was in turn launched towards Umeko. In the blink of an eye, the serenity of a lovely frozen park was switched out for a monsoon. A bright flash of lightning dazed the raging dragon, who spun its bothered eyes away from the scheming woman.
[break][break]

No level of scheming could have gotten her fully away from that fireball, but her [Rainstorm] softened the blow that she may continue. Superimpose held in proper gunlike fashion, she shot a bolt of lighting at the dragon’s tail, throwing it further off kilter in its already troubled state. In its downward spiral, Ume made one hack with her quest-supplied axe, severing one final tail.
[break][break]

Three seemed like plenty. Breathing a sigh of relief, she collapsed in the rain, next to the very much alive and very angry dragon who did not cease to be upon the completion of the mission. In fact, there were two others, weren’t there? Sitting up, Ume looked around, there circling around her happened to be three very angry, tailless dragons, “I…” She attempted to explain, only to be cut off as the saber dragon leaped into the red dragon, only to be further piled on by the sonic parrot dragon. A territorial dispute among three very vexatious creatures. Skulking away, Ume limped off to deliver the tails.

Having not bothered to clean herself up, a dripping, and ostensibly wounded Umeko dropped off the three tails at the desk of her questgiver. Offering no further explanation, she left.
