This time there was no missing what happened -- a large tail whipped out of the mirror, sending the glass into a frenzy of ripples. It was covered in scales that matched precisely those which had been flung at the three on the floor below. The tail cut in front of the path of Blu's blade before it reached the ropes, meeting it head on as if to deflect it. Instead, the blade sunk into its own reflection within the scales. It did not pass through like a window...it had stuck in them as if thrown into mud and was beginning to sink in. If he was mad about the nicks, how would he feel about losing the blade?

Somehow, the kanji mage wasn't expecting this.
"Oh, hell no. Nicked or not, you can not have my lashknife. Trunks, Ayame--my lashknife might come flying out when I do this. You might want to take cover."
And so he braced his feet and pulled back with all his force.

There was some resistance before his blade was dislodged from the depths of the quicksand-pit-of-a-mirror. It shot right back at the group with the blade sailing straight for Trunks. The length of chain came snaking back behind it -- this was headed for Ayame. Luckily for them, Blu had given fair warning. Ayame dove for cover behind a stalagmite, hoping the chain wouldn't start wrapping around things. ---------- While they were distracted with the returning weapon, the tail retreated back into the depths of the mirror. Slowly, the distortions in the glass smoothed back out.

Trunks reached out and caught the handle of the lash knife blade. Everything was fine except for the small cut on his cheek. With a small glare at Blu he threw it to him.
"How about you keep hold of your toys? Now I need your help stand behind me."
With that Trunks looked around and found a large chunk of the wall that had fallen. He bend down and with all of his strength picked it up. The rock was about 3/4 the size of his body. He waited for Blu to get behind him and then he started walking. With his head ducked and back slouched he was completly covered from any incoming scales.... or knives.

The assault began as Trunks and Blu entered the clearing behind the rock. Scales shot into the rock and imbedded into it, but the two were safe. Some sailed on either side of the barrier...they flew by Trunks' fingers dangerously close, but none managed to find any flesh.

Ayame had stayed behind in the field of stalagmites and was keeping watch over the two. They were using the rock as a shield...and this was good. But she wondered if they would consider the range of fire.
"Don't go too far. You don't want any top-down headshots, do you?"

Blu crouched behind Trunks, watching the scales thud to either side of them. They stood about 4 feet away by now.
"She's got a point Trunks. I don't think we'll get any closer. So do you want to clue me in on your plan, or did you just want to take me to hell with you when you get us both killed?"

Trunks felt the scales fly past as well so he dug his fingers deeper into the rock.
"My plan was to put this rock infront of the mirror and you tie it to the mirror. Can you make this thing any bigger kanji mage?"

"That's an easy question. No. Remind me to ask you your plan before I follow you next time, okay?"

"Can you use some of my blood to make yourself stronger? If so go for it"
