”Monies on the bear!” Sam taunted back turning back towards the other two and clapped his hands together. The ice now between them opened answering the call of his mutation. Now freely exposed several smaller penguins jumped from the water two landing closer to Sam.

The waddled quickly snapping their beaks at him. One beak was dodged but the second made its mark clasping tightly around an arm encased in ice. The ground went from under him as the icemancer was lifted. The ice protecting his arm creaked and moaned under the pressure. pressure he was glad wasn’t directly on his bones because it would have snapped no problem.

Smirking he ejected himself from the armor letting the penguin fight with it instead of him. The armor finished forming and decided it didn’t like to be chewed so it started to hit the penguin back till they both fell back into the water. Sam looked back towards the direction of the flag hoping his little run in didn’t hold him up too long. Even if it did he was confident he could pass them.

A pillar of ice shot up from under his feet launching him into the air towards the mountain of ice and snow.

She saw Jalen land just in front of her from his powers she assumed. She was glad Sam had confidence in her though she felt the least likely to win this. She saw sam and the Penguins and slowed to check if he needed help, but then she watched stunned as he seemed to shoot out of the armor and the ice armor began fighting back on it's own. It was so cool to watch she barely dodged a small chuck of ice in the ground.

The bear was fast but it was no wolf. It was not built to ran after things, it was built to punch through ice and rip out a baby seal or maybe the mother. She snapped back to focus as the Bear began to consider weather Jalen was crunchy.

She leapt up at the mountain sliding back down a few inches before her claws stopped her just enough, finding ice she could sink her claws into. She began pulling herself up when she heard the ice block she had put her claw sinto begin to crack. She had just gotten to the snow past it when the ice she had used cracked and small bits of it began to crumble. Ignoring the Bears protest she made her way toward the flag but half way up, a misplaced paw and her weight cost her. Her new hand hold has not ice but packed snow as soon as she put her weight to it, she felt herself falling backwards down the mountain, throwing up snow and causing a miniature avalanche of loose snow and small chunks of ice. She let out a roar of frustration as she landed back at the base of the mountain on her back. She could fell the pain from her back and paws but she was pretty sure nothing was broke. She rolled onto her feet and looked up to see where the others were.
