Night of the Full Moon

Stella

Stella stood atop a building, admiring the full moon. It's about midnight. Only three more hours until I can activate my magic. But first... She heard a loud crash behind her. She turned towards the noise, and watched as Dexter charged her. We'll need to put on a bit of a performance.

She pulled out her whip and swung it at him. He ducked under it. She swung it back around, lower this time. He jumped over it and continued charging her. She twirled the whip around and swung it vertically upwards. Dexter jumped to the side and swung his fist at her. She avoided it by jumping backwards off the roof. Dexter jumped off after her, grabbing the whip and pulling himself towards her, kicking her in the gut. They plummeted to the ground, with Stella breaking his fall. Once they'd landed, she twisted her body to throw him off and swung at him again. She heard footsteps behind her and dodged to the side, avoiding Sarah's spear.

That thing's scary. I couldn't sense any danger from her spear.

Stella swung her whip around into Sarah's torso. In her weakened state, her basic whip wasn't strong enough to destroy Olivia's barrier, and Sarah was simply pushed back a few feet. In the corner of her vision, Stella noticed an area suddenly become much darker, and preemptively jumped to avoid the attack. Oscar's beam of sunlight passed just under her, so he held his hands out behind him and created two blasts of air, launching himself towards her. As he approached, he pulled out a knife and warped the sunlight reflected off the moon around the blade, preparing to slash her. At the same time, Sarah approached with her spear and Dexter ran up, already swinging an uppercut.

I know I told them to go for the kill... She swung her whip around in a circle to push them back, then attached it to a nearby light pole. I didn't think they'd be this much trouble.

She swung around the lamp and launched herself towards the predetermined point. She hit the ground and started running, adding the momentum to her stride. She ran into the nearby stadium where Olivia was waiting, citing a prayer. The other three followed her in, trying to surround Stella.

Even though I'm weak from using too much blood before. She turned to face the three. Struggling this much is kind of pissing me off.

She swung her whip at Oscar's throat, failing to cut his flesh but succeeding at launching him into the wall. She turned into smoke and circled around behind Sarah, already prepared to roundhouse kick her in the head. The kick was strong enough to shatter the barrier, and Sarah fell to her hands and knees, her vision blurry. A large shadow loomed over her as Dexter approached. She grabbed him with the end of her whip and jumped over his head, clearing him by ten feet. When she landed, she saw Oscar approaching and lifted Dexter off the ground, slinging him towards the mage.

It should be about time... She looked over her shoulder at Olivia, who was finishing her prayer.

The air around Stella filled with static electricity, and Stella's sixth sense warned her of the immense danger she was in. She turned into to smoke and ran towards Olivia, the holy lightning striking the earth where she was standing an instant later. The same instant, Stella appeared behind Olivia, ready to swing her whip. Olvia nervously looked over her shoulder at Stella.

"Hey!" A man's voice called out in the middle of their feux battle. "This is my hunting ground." Dawson walked out and stood in the stands above them. "And that's my prey."

So far so good.
