So what's scarier than a stoic killer?

"Hnhnhnnhnhn..."

He should have been more cautious. But he could never bring himself to care about his wellbeing, for whatever reason.

"Hnhnhnahahahahah..."

What lurks in the shadows of this maze grins like a demon, with eyes that shine as brightly as one as well. Like the gleam on his scimitar, and on the gem at his brow, hair askew to the side thanks to what placed him in this state. He has no glasses. The gem repairs his sight just as much as it damages his judgement. And while the plants which struck him in the end and filled his lungs with gas are now shredded on the ground, the damage is done.

He grins.

The walls shift at random. What's more, you find, if you move one way, the body moves the other.

This one doesn't seem to mind. This one adapted--made changes. He found a way.

And if your face looks like Yuuya's, it's not going to end well as a result.

"HHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAAAA-!"

Hide his identity? Hah. Not when he was the target in the first place. The arrow of ice comes flying toward them, and it is only Hatsu's reflexes throwing forth a great wall of wood which saves the boy from the hit.

"GET HIM OUT OF HERE!" Hatsu shouts, another wave slamming against the attacker. "MOVE!"

Crow moves instantly, stepping in front of Reiji and Yuuya.

"If you're going to fight, give him to me, otherwise, we need to run." Run where though? There was hardly anywhere to go, but at the same time, standing around was far from a desirable option at the moment.

Yuuya was in danger, and he wasn't about to let him get hurt. Not when he was like this.

Lol good luck getting Yuuya to move, Crow, because he's latched on to Reiji and he's not letting go. It's just how he gets, when he's upset.

He's stopped sobbing, at least, and is just crying silently now, whimpering when he felt how close that arrow came.

[She feels that grip on her tighten, shakes her head and scowls.]

He's not letting go. I won't be, either.

[A quick scowl is sent towards Hatsu's way. You'd better cover her ass sufficiently, Sakaki, if you're going to make her run like this.

Ice forms beneath her feet, and immediately, she begins to skate at her highest speed.]

"Tch..." Hatsu nods...

But then an arrow flies past him.

"REIJI-!" he shouts without thinking, the arrow nearing her arm. "LOOK OUT-!"

This was crazy--! Yuuya and Reiji were going to be hurt at this!

Then again, those attacks seemed more directed at Yuuya and Reiji, than at himself.

He scowled deeply, before the next arrow flew.

He wanted to move to push the two out of the way, but he wasn't fast enough. Still, adrenaline pumped through him and fear coursed through his veins at the sight.

"Yuuya--!"

Yuuya's got a death grip on Reiji, and he's not letting go. But all the yelling around him, all the fighting, might be making him cry more.

[If it wasn't for the ice beneath her feet, there would have been no way that she would have been able to react fast enough. Instead, she manages to pivot on her feet, swiveling around even as she continues to slide backwards and skid to a stop. The arrow cuts into her sleeve as she turns, but does not pierce flesh. Still, it's close enough that she "tch"s angrily and scowls.]

Sloppy...

[That could be referring to her own dodge, Hatsu's piss-poor blocking skills, or a taunt on her double's aim. Either way, she's not comfortable with turning her back on this thing anymore.]

"Ngh..." And clearly, Hatsu isn't either.

"Shall we switch?" he offers, tension clear in his voice.

Crow's relieved neither of them were hurt, he worried for a moment that the arrow was about to be the end of them.

He comes rushing over again, though he can't help but feel a bit useless again. If it was a duel, or escaping buildings, he was more than capable. Fight real life monsters trapped in some weird place...? Really not his thing. How did Yuuya's friends get so good at this...?

"Are you guys okay?"

[She grits her teeth and grounds out her next answer.]

Fine.

[Except Sakaki won't let go. She'll have to switch in with him. Bracing herself, she lets the ice between her feet spread before darting forward, almost faster than the eye can see.]

"As we'll ever be," he mutters, before grabbing Reiji mid run. Not just yet madam- "Oiiiiii..."

Here. Let him just... "...Here, Yuuya--let's get out of here neh?" SWITCH PROPERLY. RIGHT NOW.

Dang it Yuuya, hurry up and switch. This wasn't the time. Who knows when the next attack might be.

"You have a plan?" Hopefully someone here does, and one that includes them all living. Because at this moment, he's completely out of ideas.

[Yuuya looks up slightly from Reiji's shoulder upon being tugged at, and realizes that Hatsu is trying to pick him up now. In a flash, his arms move from around Reiji's neck to around Hatsu's, allowing the transfer, and instantly burying his face in Hatsu's shoulder instead.]

[Reiji glances back long enough for the transfer to happen, tense all the while. She doesn't like this, not after the narrow miss before, but she'll have to trust that Hatsu can actually block this time.]

When Yuuya lets go, she does as well, making the transition seamlessly as her hands are freed up. More ice floods from beneath her feet, and she skates forward in a flash.]

"Right-!" And with that then, Hatsu is off, nudging (read: pushing from behind) Crow along if the other isn't fast enough. "Let's go!"

In the meantime, more arrows fly, but with the knowledge of who's coming after who, Hatsu does indeed block them with far greater skill. And as it is...

"NGHHK-!" As Reiji enters the threshold of the trap area, her double flips back, arrow fire cut short as he snarls. He says nothing however--and a flash of light catches the gem on his brow as he lands, before it is covered again by his hair.

[Reiji's sharp eyes catch the glint of light before it fades behind his hair, and she moves to get a closer look at it. But before she can get close to him, her body jerks in an unfamiliar manner, and she feels herself veering away from him instead. When she attempts to change direction, she moves further out than when she intended, and it doesn't take her long to realize that her motions are being reversed.

She'll have to settle for long-range attacks until she can adjust to this...]

Indeed she will, but her opponent will not let her, and he charges with a manic grin.

"LET ME TO MY TARGET...!" he roars, seemingly unaffected as he brings his blade toward the woman.

[Tch. Did you think that just because you commanded it, she would comply? Foolish.

She moves towards him to meet his attack head on, knowing that instead she would instead be forced back. She does so, moving in a circle around him, leaving a trail of ice in her wake until there's a ring of ice surrounding the floor around him.

And then, suddenly without warning, spikes jut out from the sheet ice still coating the ground. She was hoping to block him off, or perhaps even spear a limb or two, but it really all depends on how fast he's moving, or how well he can anticipate the ice lining on the floor to be a trap.]

[Worth a shot. But this Reiji has quite a skill in moving on the fly--he was already jumping over the ring--but as the ice raises, he uses a blade, spinning with rapid speed in his hand, the shave the spikes down as they come, long enough to continue his charge.

The rushing air blows his hair back, and one can see that gem glowing fiercely, pulsing, like a battery...]

[Even if it doesn't hit him, those ice spikes serve a purpose-they direct his movements down a more predictable path, and help her narrow down the potential places she can expect to parry his attack.

A severed icicle is caught in her hand, and immediately she ends up wielding it, reinforcing it with more ice from her glove. Narrowing her eyes, she focuses on the light glinting from his forehead, the one unusual aspect of him she doesn't recall there being before. She steadies herself, and braces for his charge at the place she thinks he'll most likely come down.]
