Weiss couldn’t believe the sheer scale of absurdity she was now an unwilling accomplice to.
It was a snowboarding yeti.
A yeti that snowboards.
Unfortunately, it was also a very fast, very strong yeti that her wizardly companion dangling by the feet, so she didn’t have the option of laughing off the abominable opponent.
Before she could even think of figuring out a quick solution to the problem while dealing with their opponent, though, an icy blade crept up and gave a sharp cut to the Yeti’s shoulders. A white automaton with a set of icy, thin flippers on his feet.
“...You can ski?” Weiss asked with a bit of surprise.
“I am the embodiment of ice.” Was all Kopaka responded with, before grabbing and chucking Skeletor safely away from the yeti. “We need to keep him from pursuing. We have little time for all of this.”
Weiss nodded, dashing down as quickly as she could, as Kopaka skied down the hill and Keldor jumped up, using his sorcerer’s staff as a way to hold onto the lift poles.
Unfortunately, it quickly became clear that even with the boost, Skeletor was starting to fall behind. To be honest, all this quick movement was tiring out Weiss very fast, too. “We need to hold him back!” Weiss yelled out at Kopaka.
“I’m open for ideas, Schnee.” Was the cold response she got in return.
Weiss looked between herself and the yeti. The worst part, as his snowboard got ever closer, was that these conditions were nothing but good for the creature. The powder was soft, the snow wasn’t too deep or too shallow, and it worked well for the snowballs he was now throwing happily at her companion.
Wait… snow.
“Kopaka!” Weiss yelled, before pointing at the yeti behind them. “Heat and snow!” She stated with a smile.
The Toa of Ice looked at her with a cocked head for a moment, before nodding. “...I see. Make it quick, Schnee.”
Weiss judged the distance as best she could. The Yeti was fifty meters away, Skeletor about thirty. If she just…
Her thoughts were interrupted by the popsicle-shaped bombs he began throwing at her companion, and her eyes widened in shock as the impacts sent him flying in the air. Luckily, it looked like he hadn’t sustained any damage… though as he kept flying, she had a funny feeling that would only last so long. “Well… at least he’s going in the right direction.”
“Worry about him later!” Kopaka yelled, and the huntress quickly turned her focus to see the yeti barreling straight down at her.
The creature growled impishly at her, and Weiss just smiled in response, her blade glowing a cherry red as she smacked it into the ground, burning the snow up the slope into water into a plume of slush and water. Kopaka wasted no time, slowing down just long enough to point his sword at the tide of water before it had a second to flow away. The result was a jagged, uneven patch of ice that the Yeti found himself faltering on. Weiss allowed herself a fraction of a smile as the yeti started to spin and tumble on the icy death-trap they’d just created.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the right second to stop and smile, as the snowboard clipped off of the Snowman’s feet and slid at her at a breakneck pace. Instinctively, Weiss jumped to dodge it, only to find herself suddenly sliding down.
“Wait! Crap!” Weiss swore, finding herself suddenly standing on the stupid snowboard. Before she was given any time to react, Weiss found her feet suddenly stuck in a sheath of ice.
“Use it, Schnee!” Kopaka stated bluntly, and Weiss would have snapped at the stupid white robot if she wasn’t busy dealing with the snow moving towards her at rapid speeds, and the sudden slope as she had to right herself going off an impromptu jump, and-
...Hey. This… was pretty fun!
A smile crossed Weiss’s features. She’d never gotten to do snowboarding or skiing in her free time before. It had simply been too much time wasted on a useless hobby. There was no way she’d be allowed.
Now, though? She fearlessly jumped from plume to plume of snow, as natural as walking. This was probably the wrong time to be getting giddy, but she couldn’t help but smile as she slid down the slopes.
Until she heard a distant yell and felt something large and bulky hit her back harder than Okor’s odor. From the blue hands grabbing onto her shoulders she could see in her peripherals, she figured it was Keldor that now had his knees placed firmly in her back.
“Ow! Get off! What the hell?!”
“Can it, princess! How else do you expect me to get down this hill in time! Besides, My landing was one of pure happenstance!”
“No, seriously, you’re too heavy!” Weiss complained with a groan. “Besides, the Yeti-”
Before she could finish the sentence of “-Doesn’t have a snowboard anyways-”, the Oversized White ape from before pulled in with an intricately designed snowboard, a black and white number with Omni’s ever-present grin showing up in the front. Sliding between her and Kopaka, it made a bunch of grunts, pointed at the snowboard, and pointed back at Weiss. She was no expert in yeti, but she was pretty sure the literal translation was something along the lines of “get the fuck off of my board, bitch!”.
Instead of doing that, Weiss ignored the important pain signals in her back that were informing her, “yes, Big man is heavy.” and “you’re going to pull all the back muscles if you keep this up.” And crouched, trying to pick up speed. “You’ve seriously got to get off!” Weiss complained.
“Quiet, you, and behold my power!” was the only response she got from the buff wizard. “I’ve got to put this arctic neanderthal… On ice!”
“Okay, you know what? Stay up there. Just… don’t make any more puns. For the love of god.”
Mercifully, Skeletor chose to avoid verbal speech and focus on just cackling, as he unleashed a volley of magical blasts across the ice and snow, making the Yeti’s life just a little harder. It made a rude gesture with one finger before replying with a bunch of snowballs, and Weiss immediately regretted giving Keldor any pass. Now, they were just one big target!
As the Yeti grimaced in their direction, though, he failed to notice the wall of ice Kopaka summoned right in front of the creature, taking advantage of it's distraction to pull ahead and she heard a sickening crack behind her as it smashed head-first into the obstacle the Toa summoned.
“That’s another snowboard broken… it’s probably going to be pissed.”
“So these are ‘boards of snow’. I see…” Keldor muttered from on top of her. Weiss could only groan in response.
Her back was killing her.
It was a snowboarding yeti.
