"All right. I'll leave it to you!" Corrin moved to the side along with Silas, the two swordfighters cutting their way through a group of Spear Fighters with Jakob backing them up.
Azura slipped past the Basara's fiery strike, spinning before striking him with her Blessed Lance. "Now, Corrinne!"

"Right!" A glint appeared in Corrinne's eye. "You won't stop me!"
BAM! With a leap as high as the ceiling permitted, Corrinne slammed her sword into the Basara's head as if it was a stone. Its lance remained, however, and the Manakete picked it up. "This is some nice craftsmanship..."
A pair of Shuriken stuck themselves into a Cavalier's head, and its Steel Lance vanished, leaving just a Javelin. One could swear the horseman was trying to aim for a green blur. It tossed the Javelin, landing harmlessly into the ceiling, vanishing again, only to reappear next to Azura. As this happened, Felica tossed her weapon at the weakened Cavalier, dispatching it. "Nice one, Kaze! Wherever you are now!"

Azura walked over as Corrinne picked up the Basara's lance, eyeing it over. "There is definitely magic in this weapon... but it is not like anything I've seen before. A lance with flame magic in it... curious."
As the last of the enemy forces vanished, Corrin, Jakob, and Silas moved back to regroup with the others.
"That went well," Corrin said, sheathing his blade. "but we still have a ways to go. Shall we continue on?"

"Kaze, what are we up against? Please do not say dragon-killers..." Corrinne said, as the ninja scouted...
"Ninja. And a lone maid... That's a wicked-looking knife she's got, too. Do mind that."
"Duly noted." She sheathed Yato and pulled out her Dragonstone, transforming. "I have Shurikenbreaker, somehow. Leave the Maid to me."
"Will do! Just be careful, Lady Corrinne!" Felicia said, drawing her weapon and tossing it at a Ninja.

"Another mixed set... curious. If you can, sister, get that knife so we can examine it." Corrin transformed as well, staring down the ninja as the others readied to fight.

Silas pulled his lance out, readying to fight, leading the charge against the ninja, Jakob leading off with a throw of his Barb Shuriken.

Corrinne's horns clashed with the maid's knife, trying to force it out. "Nrgh! It's stronger than it looks!"
Felica tossed her Flame Shuriken at the soldier that Jakob had attacked, felling it. "Careful, Jakob! There's something behind you!"
A pair of shuriken stuck into a Knight's nape, the spectral warrior freezing in place upon impact.

Silas' lance followed up on the shuriken strike, impaling the knight; the Paladin watched the ethereal soldier vanish before moving on to the next.
While Corrinne clashed with the maid, Azura raised the Flame Lance, a gout of flames following up on her strike. "I am with you, Corrinne!"
Corrin lashed his tail out, knocking down another Ninja that tried to sneak-attack him. "We're almost done here, I think. Are you doing okay, sister?!"

"Thanks, Azura!" With a lash of her tail, the Maid's weapon was knocked from her hand, flying into the air as its former owner dissolved, the knife being caught by Felicia, who seemed to be examining the weapon...
"Wow... This is some really nice craftsmanship... Looks like it'd be really good against armor, too... I don't think I'm ready to use it, though..." Felicia said, putting the strange knife back as they proceeded to the next floor...
[Pit of 100 Trials: Floor 27]
"Those are some interesting-looking Outlaws..." Corrinne said, noting the ratty appearance of the fighters in the room.
"... Sir Silas. Hold still." With a flick of his wrists, Kaze tossed two shuriken at something that was clearly too close for comfort.

Silas yelped as the shuriken were thrown, exhaling as the fighter dissolved... then felt around. "Wait, where's my sword?!" It was laying on the ground where his assailant had vanished. "...Oh dear."
Corrin drew his blade, shifting back to normal. "They seem quick... and they look unusual. Just like that one before; a type of fighter we're unfamiliar with, perhaps? What weapons are they wielding?"
Jakob flung his Barb Shuriken at one of the Thieves, gritting his teeth in annoyance at his staff being stolen. "They look like daggers, but I'm not fully sure. That one stole the staff I had!"

Feeling one of the enemies around her, Corrinne shifted with an annoyed sound, kicking the would-be thief back. "Don't touch!"
Her assailant was met by a flaming shuriken to the face, after being slammed into a wall from the kick. "Careful! ... Um, where did my staff go-" The maid yelped, noticing the distinct lack of both her staves...
As her attacker prepared to strike, both its ill-gotten staves vanished, as did his weapon, both staves reappearing in the hands of Felicia, and its knife being turned against it. "I don't exactly condone stealing, but... I'll make an exception against these creatures."
"Or when you do it, period?" The dragon felt around, noting...
There was a roar of annoyance and a quick earthquake.

Meanwhile, many many stories above.
"Finally! I got it all unloaded all nicey-nice, just the way you wanted it!" Arti wagged his tail, even though he seemed sweaty. "And you thought I was all messy. Well, that's mostly true. I mean-"
The ground shook, knocking many items off the shelves. "SON OF A FUCK!!"

Corrin winced, looking away from the brief scene of carnage. He did not ever want to get on his sister's bad side like that... "Quite frankly, Kaze, you have my explicit permission to do that as often as you believe it necessary. It has been a great boon to us..."
Yato went through the skull of another thief trying to steal his Dragonstone. "...And they seem to have no qualms against it, either."
Finally, the last Thief was felled, and the group was left to make sure everything was in order. Silas checked around, finding his weapons still where he had them last. "...There we go. How annoying was that?"
Jakob sighed. "Quite. Shall we move on?"

"...I'm not quite sure I want to know what made the ground shake like that... here, let me help you." Pieter sighed softly, making his way to the newly-made mess to help with cleanup.

Dusting off her hands with an eerily calm expression reminiscent of Camilla, Corrinne lead the group down to the next floor, stopping before the door. "What are we up against, Kaze? I'd rather not have to repeat... THAT..."
The ninja pressed an eye to the eyehole, suppressing an involuntary shudder. "What is it?" Corrinne asked, noting his reaction.
"Very painful on the eyes... I can't tell what else..." He replied, tone of voice suggesting a reluctance to go further if it wasn't mandatory.
"Great. Everyone, try to focus on... Not whatever makes your eyes painful."

That was much more difficult than initially believed. As the group entered the room... their vision went blurry for a second as it adjusted. Everyone's colors were inverted, like a negative of a photograph.
Corrin winced, staggering back a bit. "Augh! What in the world is this?!"
Silas grit his teeth, taking a few steps forward. "...Gods, everything looks so bizarre..."

"... I don't feel pushed down, at the very least," Kaze said, noting the lack of a weight on him. "I still don't feel right, but..."
Corrinne seemed to be feeling her arms, smiling at the feel. "Hey, brother! Hold still! I bet I could pick up up!" And she did. "Heh... I haven't been able to do that since we were kids... You too, Silas." And now she was carrying both of them on her shoulders. "Light as a feather. I understand what it means to be Effie now."
And then a thunderbolt struck Corrinne, causing her to drop the pair, yelping. Felicia stood up, tossing her Flame Shuriken at the attacker, a Knight wielding a Bolt Naginata... Only for it to barely recoil as it charged at a high speed.
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me!"

Corrin rolled to the ground as he was dropped, evading another bolt. "Unbelievable... how are they so fast? So strong?!"
Jakob frowned a bit as he took in the sight. "...It must have something to do with the room. Everyone, try to endure their attacks. If this is like the last one it should wear off after a little while!"
