Author's Reminder: Xia the Dark Priestess works for the Cabal and is a powerful figure in the Nether. She was also turned into one of Nix's minions by Leva the Fallen.
**************
Xia the Dark Priestess has cast [Dark Heart]
Vooni's health has been restored.
/Bravo: Jun Li: How'd you get Xia to volunteer?
/Bravo: Leva: I asked nicely.
/Bravo: Vooni: Teronxi is next!
Vooni dived straight into the maw of the huge beast. It was nearly the size of Morti and had two sets of arms.
Vooni has [Taunted Teronxi the Great Ape.]
Teronxi must attack only Vooni for the next 90 seconds.
”HIT HIM HARD!” Vooni slammed the sharp point of her dragon shield into the tiled floor of the inner courtyard and braced it with her shoulder. Spikes extended downward through the rock, fortifying her position.
[Gemini Strike][First Blood][Asunder]
Jun Li has successfully landed a triple combination.
Jun Li has landed a significant strike.
[Unbalanced Chain][Knights Reaver]
Nunzo has followed up Jun Li's attack with a significant strike!
[Unbalanced Chain][Piercing Arrow]
Omak has followed up Nunzo's attack with a significant strike!
[Unbalanced Chain][Double Backstab]
Aja has followed up Omak's attack with a significant strike!
Aja has landed a mortal blow.
[Unbalanced Chain][Champion's Finish]
Jun Li has followed up Aja's mortal blow with a killing strike.
Teronxi the Great Ape has been slain.
The huge beast collapsed forward, nearly landing on the surprized Vooni who yanked her shield out of the stone and leaped to one side. All of the major players were dead, Teronxi was the boss of the Cultist Training Grounds.
/Bravo: Aja: What the hell is Unbalanced Chain?
Aja's orange flame-colored hair was splattered with black blood. Nearly every time Jun Li attacked she created either a critical chain or and unbalanced chain.
/Bravo: Vooni: It's what makes Inferno so strong. Each strike can be followed up by one of their Gemini teammates. They can literally keep their enemies perma-stunned while hacking away at them.
Aja shook her head in amazement. Her hud notified her that a follow-up strike was possible whenever Jun Li attacked.
/Bravo: Omak: I like the multi-colored wings. You're a Gemini Archon?
/Bravo: Jun Li: Guess so. This is the first time I've been able to unlock my full ability.
[Whisper: Aja to Vooni] Hidden dragons everywhere.
[Whisper: Vooni to Aja] She's not even the strongest.
/Bravo: Jun Li: Ask Xia to rez Mina, please.
/Bravo: Leva: Okay Junie.
Jun Li smiled at the Fallen Chancellor. It was her first grouping with her, she was just starting to understand how many powerful allies Nix held in reserve.
/Bravo: Vooni: Understood.

Nansu sipped her tea silently while listening to Fajii describe her mission. ”Shouldn't you head to Belatora? I thought Nix wanted to have an officer briefing.”
Fajii shook her head slightly and started unraveling her braided hair. ”The table interface in our bedroom is nearly identical to Nix's Breach Commander Hud, it's fine if we are represented by a holo.”
Nansu didn't comment, her eyes glancing around the bedroom. She'd spent some time in the turtle house while Nix was away so she knew most of its features. ”May I ask you something?”
Fajii smiled slightly. ”You want to know how we manage to share Nix?”
