On the Run [Mami]

[Harry Dresden]

Whoever this girl was, she was finished talking. That much was obvious when she summoned one of the biggest firearms Harry had ever seen. The thing shot cannonballs for crying out loud! The wizard didn't stick around to take that one; he started running the second the girl fired, throwing up a shield with an arm outstretched behind him. Shards of ice passed by him harmlessly or impacted on his spell-woven duster with little effect, but the glass that the superheated cannonballs had sent flying everywhere was another story. Razor-sharp shards of rough glass sliced into Harry's lower legs and ankles, where he wasn't defended by the coat, and ricocheted off the shield protecting his head. The bullets were tougher to defend against, and Harry was actually forced to drop the shield; it was taking too much energy.

Harry hiked the duster up past his head, exposing more of his legs but defending his cranium. Shots impacted with his back and drove him to the ground, the bullets stopped by the spellbound leather, but the force continuing onward. There would be some nasty bruising, probably something internal that would have to heal on its own. The worst of it was the pair of shots that lodged themselves in Harry's leg. They made the thought of standing painful, but Harry had to pick himself up of the ground. Nothing too fatal, as long as he got the bullets out and bandaged them sometime soon, but these would make the fight very difficult. Harry planted his staff in the sand and forced himself up, heavily favoring his right leg, and drew his blasting rod once again, taking aim at Mami and adjusting to make sure that her landing location would be at the center of the spell. Drawing on the heat stored in the water to fuel the massive conflagration and adding some of his not-inconsiderable energy to the mix, he cast his strongest spell in an attempt to end this quickly.

"PYROFUEGO!"

Ice formed on the surface of the water as heat from the sun was torn from the ocean and poured into the spell. A massive firestorm streaked across the beach, leaving a stripe of glass across the beach. He leans heavily on his staff and lets out a breath. That should do it. Then again, he hadn't used that spell on a Prime yet. It did a number on the Stormtrooper artillery, but then, those weren't Primes. As the flames dissipated, he tried to locate the girl. He didn't want to be taken by surprise.

No more SP for me: I used a T1 super move.
