in your closet, in your head.

It all happens in a matter of moments. Your friends, your companions, and even some people you aren't all that fond of; everyone who took so much as a bite of the spirits' feast suddenly collapses into a comatose heap. Which is bad enough already, but the worst, by far, is yet to come.

Before anyone can really figure out what's happened to the sleepers, the woods surrounding the town come alive with sound. Rustling, screeching, clicking, howling, and under it all, the characteristic hoots and whistles of the forest spirit tongue. But these aren't the friendly creatures that set up the banquet in the first place, and they aren't the familiar faces (or masks) from around Beacon. As they begin to emerge, bursting forth from the trees, these spirits reveal themselves as a horrifying army of terrors. And sprinkled among them, distinguishable by the emerald glint in their sockets, are the infamous "green eyes", the dangerous spirits that appeared once before.

Attempting to talk to these spirits is a moot point, made obvious by their immediate assault on anyone they get close to. They attack with claws and teeth, with limbs far stronger than they have any right to be, and the green eyes, as they are wont to do, will try to get into your head. Somehow, they seem to know what it is that scares you most, and they don't seem too hesitant to use it. It's not clear what they want— are they here to eradicate you? To frighten you? To send a message?

Whatever the case, one thing is very clear: you and everyone else, sleeping or waking, are in serious danger. Are you ready to defend Beacon?

[Deja vu.

It feels like it. She's seen this scene so many times before. Rakan rushing in, using his magic to toss their enemies in the air and then-

-it's a perfect set up. Then and now. She doesn't hesitate and jumps in the air, from the roof where she's sitting at, sending a shower of feather blades at the forest spirit. Mid-air, she recalls the feathers back to her, those that stuck in the trees and branches behind the spirit, piercing the creature and cutting off limbs and tying up the body with wild magic, rendering it immobile.

It just needs one more shot to finish it off.]

[It's incredibly effective. The feathers have pierced through it with hundreds of tiny wounds, blood oozing from every single one. Still it tries to struggle out of its restraints and rush the Invincible.

Can't have that.

Kuai manifests an axe in his hand slamming it right into the head of the creature. Those green eyes go out and the creature seems to fade away. It's a victory, but something about it feels off. A worry for another time.

He turns to look up at Xayah, nodding to her as he throws the axe to the ground to shatter it.]

Well fought.

[That's Sub-Zero for: good to see you alive and well.]
