(OOC: This part of the battle is for Raven Fire and the Sonic Sisters only. Please ask before joining in. Feel free to do your own battling, elsewhere on the grounds. Thanks,

Meanwhile, elsewhere on the estate....

>For cryin' out loud! If they don't shut up, I say we go make them ourselves!<

"Chillax, sis. They'll probably end up doing each other in anyway. Why waste energy?"

Vibe frowned at her sister, arms crossed and foot tapping irritably. Amp ignored her. The red-headed pair were stretched out on the grass near on of the many swimming pools scattered around the grounds, sun-bathing. Sounds of distant battles reached their senses, but Amp paid them no mind. She was enjoying the feel of the sun on her body, and looking forward to adding a bit of color to her fair skin. Vibe rolled her eyes and stretched out on her beach towel, attempting to follow her sister's example. But she was irritated, and it probably wouldn't take much to set her off. And, of course, if that bomb went off, her sister would follow easily.

Ali had heard of some sort of place where battles took place. Deciding to check it out Ali took flight to find the batte grounds.

The air was clear and fresh as she flew. Not many clouds were formed so it was a genuinely beautiful day.

Upon reaching what appeared to be the grounds Ali hovered for a moment. She didn't realize that her shadow was covering some poor girl who was out sun bathing. Ali listened for a moment as the sounds of fights echoed about.

Deciding this was the place the fiery haired woman landed near twin girls. They looked almost identical except for small differences. "Is this the battle ground?"

Both twins looked up as a shadow passed over then stopped above them. Glaring up at the newcomer, Amp shouted, "Hey! Move it! You're not a window, ya know!"

"Is this the battle ground?"

"What do we look like? Tour guides?" Amp snapped after a pause, where Vibe translated. "Go ask someone who cares. Now move it! You're blocking our sun, and the view ain't pretty enough for that."

In sync, the girls turned up their noses, and laid back down again.[/color]

These two were prime candidates for a rough day. "Oh you mean you're trying to get some color on your poor pale bodies?" she said in a patrinizing tone. "How about I help you girls out."

Ali erupted in a massive aura of intense flame and heat. "I'll help you with your complection and your attitudes."

Both girls rolled away in surprise as the girl burst into flames. Vibe scowled fiercely.

>Attitude? Attitude?? Who does she think she is?!<

"Uh, hello? We're the ones minding our own business out here, firebug," Amp added aloud, also glaring. "Why don't you mind your and get lost? Or better yet, go jump in that pool and put your ego out!" For emphasis, Amp aimed a sound blast into the ground, then up. Along with a low pitched rumble, a clump of earth exploded up into the fire-girl's face.

They used the distraction to snatch up their cover-ups. The girls weren't exactly dressed for a battle, unless you counted bikinis and sandals as the latest in battle gear. But they also never backed down from a fight, verbal or physical. Whether that was to their credit or not was a matter of opinion.

The chunck of earth made Ali flinch as she wasn't expecting something like that. When she returned her gaze to the twins they had covered up and were looking more like they were ready to fight. Good now we can really get things going

The fire girl cast out a cone of fire at the girls. She made sure it was wide enough to engulf them should they stay in their current position.

Amp slammed a fist into the ground, the sounds both forcing a wall of earth upward as a shield, and dropping the girls down into a bowl. Another slam, this time directed a bit, shoved up more earth around Raven's sides, so she was surrounded on three sides. Then Amp thrust the other fist forward. The concussion blast pounded the earthen walls into debris. The intent was not only to block the fire, but also to blow the fire-starter backward, and further away from the Twins.

(OOC: Sorry, writer's block. Feel free to cause a bit of physical damage. Maybe it will get my juices flowing again. lol)

To Ali's surprise the ground rose up to protect the girls. It then blocked her and exploded. Ali covered her face to block some of the debri. The blast forced her back some.

When the dust and chunks had stopped flying at her Ali looked for the girls. She saw that part of the ground had been sunken down like a giant bowl had been pressed into the ground to make an indentation.

"That was a nice trick." The woman rose up into the sky to get a better view of things. She could see the girls in the bowled out ground. "I know just what to fill taht space with." Ali put her arms up above her head as a firebal formed and grew in size. She widened her arms and the ball of flame grew larger and larger until it was about the size of a VW Beetle. "Catch this!" Ali threw down the giant fireball right in the middle of the the crater. It exploded like a bomb as it created it's own crater and threw bits of earth and fire at the girls and everywhere else.

The girls took to their heels the minute Raven began building her fireball, and had just reached the edge of the crater when it impacted. The blast threw them the rest of the way out of the crater, and gave them a nice little sunburn too.

Before they were back on their feet, Amp was sending directed mini-blasts to send the bits of flying earth and rock back at Raven. The small projectiles moved with impressive speed, sounding like gunshots. But with each blast, Amp also sent out a soundwave off to Raven's sides. The invisible waves drew closer with each projectile, but Raven wouldn't hear them until they came together in a double attack; a high-pitched, and most likely painful, squeal in the ears, and a low-pitched vibration to the skull which would, hopefully, make her sick to her stomach.

>Hope she's got an airsick bag with her.<

"Like you really care?"

>No, but I also don't want to get spattered either.<

Oh, there's a lovely mental image..."

A smile crossed Ali's lips as the girls were blasted out of the crater. They were starting to get some color as well. She wasn't expecting some of the debri to be sent back at her though. When she saw the fragments heading at her Ali quickly lowered herself to make the projectiles over shoot her, but no sooner had she ducked the tiny missles when her ears started to hurt and she felt queezy. The fire girl covered one ear and with the other hand clutched her stomach. Ali let out a scream as well. She hoped it would relieve some of the pain in her ears.

When the pain stopped she was left with a ringing in her ears so anything the girls said now was muffled. Still grasping her stomach she decided to focus on one of the girls at a time now. Her choice was the only one who had been speaking to her verbally. Ali fired a blast of intense heat at the girl. She hoped that since there was no fire to warn the girl that she might get a better hit.
