The arcane, vile magic of Keldor’s ramstone flashed, then evaporated everything between the sorcerer and the ice-encased warriors in a flash of emerald destruction. Weiss’s comrade had only left her a brief moment to react to the apparent attempt to kill off both fighters in one blow. Plenty of emotions filled her in that moment, but she had no time to process any of them as the toxic light washed over ally and enemy alike, faster than even the speedy huntress could hope to react to. Kopaka’s imprisoned form wasn’t ravaged to the same degree as his opponent’s, Keldor’s aim being thankfully focused on Blizzardman, but both program and biomachine had brutal tears all across their metal chassis.
Weiss’s response was to swiftly disengage, dodging past the blow of a large ice troll’s club as she dashed towards Blizzardman. The throng would likely surround Keldor now that the wizard had made himself a target, but after that last display, the last thing the young huntress was thinking of was the warlock’s safety.
Instead, she dashed into the furious melee Kopaka found himself in. Blizzardman was unleashing the entirety of his power, harrying the embodiment of ice with massive blasts of snow and ice from every angle. The ancient warrior’s response was equally impressive, however - instantly deciding whether to block with his rotating shield or parry with a casual flick of his longsword. Even when he lost ground, he chose to do so in the most efficient manner possible, moving with a brutal, yet practiced rhythm as he attacked. He lacked speed, but fought while maximizing his strength, using brute force to smash away attacks just as he used it to lay into the robotic fighter with heavy strikes.
Weiss’s plan was simple as she entered the melee. she allowed her body’s trained reflexes and response, attacking the corrupted netnavi from the rear with a ferocious volley of slashes aimed at the center of his body. All of the attacks pinged off with a metallic shriek, but she struck at every joint or damaged piece of armor she could find, using the weak spots Keldor’s magics had inflicted in order to maximize the pain she could inflict.
Freezing water jets smashed out of the ground beneath both Kopaka and Weiss, each dodging to their respective lefts as the blasts shot into the air. Blizzardman raised both of his poles to take advantage of their vulnerable positions, only to find themselves caught by Weiss’s rapier and Kopaka’s shield before he could attempt his strikes. Both Toa and Huntress gazed at their opponent with a withering look.
From there, human and Toa put on pressure from each side of their cybernetic opponent. The empowered darkloid had strength, versatility, and durability, but without his fellow darkloids to assist him, he found himself struggling against the multi-pronged attack. Kopaka threw himself into the melee with all the strength and power of a bear, his hits unbalancing Blizzardman even when the strikes failed to cause damage. If the Toa of Ice was a bear, however, Weiss was a cheetah, striking every time her icy opponent’s attention wavered for even a moment with a flash of silver and steel, punishing every gap in his guard with Myrtenaster’s edge.
But even with this advantage, neither could make headway. The icy navi couldn’t pierce their combined offensive, but neither fighter could get in a good hit on the darkloid commander. He was simply too durable, too strong, and too versatile in power. Dodging a rough slap from the corrupted navi that almost took her head off, Weiss quickly thought of a way to make the necessary opening, eyeing the cliff…
Mouthing a few words to Kopaka, Weiss’s statement was cut off as the robotic skier was knocked straight towards her. Looking up with irritation, she barely dodged out of the way of Blizzardman’s armored form. “Watch what you’re doing!” Weiss yelled in irritation, while assaulting the malevolent snow-bum with an easily blocked slash.
“Pay attention. Assist in combat. And cease complaints.” Kopaka’s voice replied with a sinister edge.
Weiss glared as Blizzardman returned his attention to Kopaka, opting to shout as the warrior was assaulted with an ice-covered fist smashing into his shield.
“I didn’t have to help you here! I chose to fight with you, and this is the thanks-”
Kopaka’s response came in the form of a sword thrust neatly dodged by the rotund Ski captain in front of him… but that struck Weiss right in the chest as he stepped forward with the strike.
“You are correct. Your assistance was unnecessary.”
Weiss’s hand clutched at her chest, her shirt quickly covered in red stains of blood. The huntress’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at the ivory swordsman, before falling backwards into the snow.Blizzardman turned with an eager look.
“You make fun of us darkloids, but at least we don’t squabble like this. Maybe you need some good old-fashioned purpose. Or maybe, ya just need to die.“
Kopaka’s only response was to ready his shield, charging the Navi without acknowledging the statement. The attack was met by Blizzardman’s quick transformation into a rolling snowball, the two titans smashing into each other. For a few moments, it seemed like Kopaka could push the blizzard navi back, the snowball grinding itself against his shield to no effect. Slowly, though, Kopaka’s shield-arm bent under the pressure, and he was flung against a nearby rock. Blizzardman exploded out of the snowball with a wicked grin.
“And alone, you ain’t such a problem.”
“Lucky he’s not alone, then.” Weiss firmly replied from atop the surprised program's back. Her rapier was missing from her hands, replaced with her familiar jacket. Before the surprised captain could react, the youngest Schnee had tied the bloody garment directly around the surprised navi’s eyes.
Kopaka brandished his blade, causing the ice he’d formed at the tip to shatter, even as Weiss kicked off of the darkloids body, the cut she’d made with myrtenaster now visible on her right hand. Neither warrior had the time to exchange comments, but both made a small nod of approval in the other direction. Blizzardman scrabbled to remove the garment from his face, but his thick hands had difficulty getting any grip on the silken coat.
The Toa of Ice made it even harder for him with a subtle change of temperature, vines of ice melding Blizzardman’s hands to his face.
“B-bastards! When I-”
Weiss didn’t let the navi finish. Crimson flashed across Myrtenaster’s surface, and she sent the robot flying straight into the tip of Kopaka’s blade. This time, there was no ice to cushion the blow, and Kopaka made sure to follow up with repeated strikes with his shield, smashing the robot repeatedly with the rim. Kopaka tilted his sword upwards, still holding blizzardman aloft, and Weiss followed up with another dust-enhanced strike of her blade, sending the navi flying upwards into the air. For a brief moment, the two warriors turned, standing back to back below the Injured navi. Then, both dashed in opposite directions, as twin jet of water erupted beneath where they once stood.
“Unnecessary, but mildly useful.” Kopaka admitted.

Sorry for the lateness, hope it was worth the wait!
