Magical Fracas, Episode 4: School Rumble?

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

It was here that Iriumi leapt forward, her speed picking up just as the for crystals formed around Panko.
"ANCIENT'S WRATH!" She yelled, her voice muffled by her mask. Her arm rose and fell, smacking two crystals out of the air just as she leapt to one side of Panko and shattering them against the ground. Ivy's secondary leaf shield bloomed on the other side of Panko, and the other two crystals splashed and crystallized the hovering barrier instead. Her weapon pulsed as it shook off the crystalization. The auburn-haired mage turned to Panko, grabbed her arm and pulled her back behind Iriumi.

"Are you ok? Please, cover me. I'm going to change into something more useful in this combat. Ivy!"
"Yes?" Ivy's voice was whispered audibly around the mage. Even Panko heard it clearly.

"How long is the transition?"
"A few seconds max. I can bring down the time if I consume excess energy."
"Do it."

Iriumi stepped forward from Panko, and the other mage realised why.
"Ember Vine Suit, Evolve!"

Where the plant mage stood, it suddenly erupted into wild, green-gold fire, which rapidly turned gold and red. The self-immolation was a fierce event, and the dim silhouette of Iriumi's body could be seen behind the veil of roaring flame. For a full second, while Akari's bombardment rained down upon the enemy, Iriumi's barrier jacket changed to Version 2.

As the fire died down, the silhouette seemed to reel back before lashing out, cleaving through the sheet of dying flames with a whip that left a wake of shimmering heat behind it. Two spikes of fire tipped the whip, aimed to pierce through the bellringer's shields a split second after Ceres' attack finishes.

Behind the attack, the red-gold of Iriumi's new barrier jacket glittered and shimmered in an aura of heat.
