Azula, pausing as the Nightmare Fuel was begining to wear off and thus able to stop herself for, say, thirty seconds this time, was about to continue her attacks when the Stop spell hit and froze her muscles in place. She screamed inside her head, the helplessness driving her into a deeper rage, golden eyes hateful enough to melt through a wall and frustrated tears trailing down her cheeks as she shook in place.
Nononono..! Not again! She said.. She said... Not... Again! It was supposed to be better!

"Sorry we had to stop you, but you were trying to roast us," Billy said as he hurried over, opened the bottle, and started to pour it hesitantly down Azula's throat.

Azula had let out a high-pitched whine through her teeth as 'Zuko' aproached, choking and spiting helplessy. She could do nothing but try and kill him with her gaze as he forced her lips opened and poured a bottle full of fluids down her throat. Probably poison. It wasn't good enough for Zuzu and Mother to tear her... down, they... wait... Wanted to... No. Not real... hurt, pain... loneliness... NOT REAL! NOT THERE!
Her thoughts cleared with a flash at the same time the spell ended, the rage in her eyes forced back under the fragments of the fallen princess' self-control, the nightmare shrouding her vision fading from existence like the illusion it was. Azula stood there half-crouched, breathing erratic and a few last tears trailing down her cheeks.
Then she slapped Billy across the cheek, her eyes full of cold, focused anger. "Put me through some... something like that again without warning before hand," she gasped, "And... and there won't be enough of you left to fill a... rice bowl, super weapon or no super weapon."

This...this couldn't be real. Panicking, Midna shook her head, convincing herself that she wasn't really falling. After all, by now she would have hit the ground, right?
...And now she was after all. Her monstrous form shivered, then dissolved into black pixels once more, which reformed into Midna's small imp form, and she slowly drifted down towards the battlefield, bristling with energy. Flailing around in her half-delusional state, surrounded by faces she knew or had once now, mocking her, she threw a few projectiles of her own in all directions.

"...Ow...." Aside from the pain of getting slapped by a very fit and emotionally-fragile teenager, Billy didn't really protest since he was the accidental cause of her current state.
Mostly because he'd just had to duck while Midna's weapon... bolt... thingies were flung around, some in his direction.

Rinoa sighed as she swallowed the third potion. The burn was finally starting to close up, looking and feeling like actual human flesh. Singed, but flesh.
"I'm going to miss my duster. And my--my hair!" she shrieked, suddenly feeling the lack of weight. She reached up to grab her necklace, and with the other hand felt around the nape of her neck. Other than melted metal on the collar of her now ruined clothes and a distinctly uneven length of hair, she felt nothing--the rings must have fallen off when she collapsed earlier. "My necklace!"
Ignoring any pain from her half-healed back, she went forward onto her hands and knees, searching the ground for her rings. (Coincidentally, this also served as a dodge for Midna's attack.) "Billy, did you see my necklace anywhere?!"

Seeing the new threat descending towards them from above, Azula's stomach curdled in fear and disgust. Was that what she looked like while under the effects of Billy's gas? A thrashing monster, helpless and blind as she killed everything around her, something to be pitied for its pain and killed because it's a threat? Agni... She took a deep breath and tumbled away from a near-miss, wincing as her injured arm took the weight in loud complaint.
"Get Rinoa and run," she called to Billy, rising to her feet, her armor battered and blood-stained, her mind and body drained, "I'll cover you and follow. I don't think Midna's in a state to follow us. This invasion is... over."
With that, she darted back towards the Twili, firing a shot of blue flame to draw Midna's attention. Azula's thoughts tumbled as she tried to process her fugue, find out what she had done while under the influense of the drug... The scattered infernoes and the numerous dead Twili were definitely her work, but Rinoa's wound... Agni, so much work lost...

Billy had been searching the ground for signs of a necklace, but only found two rings and a few pieces of melted metal. He scooped them up and put them in a pocket as he ran and took Rinoa with him.
"I found the rings, but the chain melted!" he told her hurriedly.

Billy picked her up and started running (owowowowowowow), and Rinoa attempted a nod, then remembered it wouldn't be visible. So, hoping her previous calm would carry over, she answered verbally.
"FINE! THAT'S FINE! JUST PLEASE STOP RUNNING SO JERKILY!"

"Okay--and sorry!" Billy tried to keep his panic under control as he ran slightly more slowly.

Eventually, Midna touched the ground, where she stood, swaying slightly, and put a hand to her face, collapsing forward, and groaned, her hair covering her and probably protecting her from attack.
"What...what in the name of all the hells just happened...?"
((So sorry about not being on yesterday.))

Seeing Midna down and under control, Azula halted her attacks and fled after the others. She held her wounded arm against her side, a filthy, blood-soaked teenage girl in battered black armor retreating at best speed amid the cover of smoke from the fires she'd started. Numerous fie-blackened corpses gave testament to the toll she'd wrought on the Twili this day, her first battle since her mental breakdown and ample evidense she still had room for further healing.
( ;D Dr. Horrible's Harem, out. Good fight!)

Tsume approached the humanoid cautiously; she wasn't terrified anymore (he figured that Kiba and everyone else had been afraid of MIDNA, but what happened with her?), and she looked kind of tired, but that didn't mean she wasn't still ready to throw some magic at him.
"Midna? You okay?"

Midna managed to raise herself on her hands, panting, and shook her head. She felt unsteady--the combination of the Nightmare Fuel and her exertion in undergoing the transformation left her entirely unsteady, and she looked curiously vulnerable as she raised her head.
"Who...who's there? Oh...it's you. Tsume...you actually care about how I feel? Well...not so good."

((Sorry I haven't been on at all. I suck.))
He was well and truly crippled, and he had allied himself with a demon from Hell, and Richard had never been so helpless and scared in his life. The sound of his brothers' taunts echoed in his ears, the scorn of women and children overwhelming his memory.
But Richard was never without the capacity to save himself, and during the fight he'd rolled awkwardly away from the carnage, seeking refuge in a dark alley with the rest of the refuse. He would figure out how it had come to this later.
((Just so everyone knows, I'm thinking of having someone else find him and moving a different direction.))
