(((I was hoping you'd figure out I meant Astral Projection of the Charmed Ones kind, but I can go with invisible Astral Projection too. Means that I have the power of suggestion ;D )))
For several minutes it was like nobody heard me or even saw me, but that dread feeling was getting more ominous by the second.
"Maya! I'll be all right, you can leave me for a couple seconds so you can take care of whatever is coming. Doc, I hope you and your sword are ready for this... And Mr. 'I'm short and stout' you better be good, otherwise we're all dead."
I turned in the direction where I sensed the evil coming from, not caring whether they heard me or not. I was going to face this, whatever it was and fight it . . . no matter what.

The one thing that I never expected to face however, as I felt that nearly overwhelming aura . . . was a tiny (1 foot tall/long half a foot wide) green scaled bunny rabbit with glowing red eyes. However when it blew a fireball at Doc, who managed to deflect it with his Soulsword, created a magical barrier to block the fireball Maya threw at it, and telekinetically halted the crossbow bolts that Tpot shot at it, I began to realize this was certainly no ordinary bunny rabbit.

"How," I cried, rolling sideways to dodge a fireball, "The hell" i jumped as the thing rushed at me, "Did i never read about demon bunnies!? No ya dont!" It was going for Joshua's limp body. I dived over infront of it, heading it off a little before it tried to toast me again. As i dodged, i passed through... something, and gasped, "Joshua?" I still couldn't see him, but... ok, too wierd. The demon bunny was attacking again, barely phased by the three of us attcking from all side, "I have to tell Xander about this." I commented, "Anya stories make a load more sense now..." I cast a magickal barrier around myself, and once again began calling up real magicks.
((I'm gonna be away for a few days! I dont mind people writing me as long as i dont do anything major!! cos then ill sulk. ;)Bye bye))

"That is it!" I yelled. "My friend is not getting whacked by some demonic Energizer Bunny!" My Saber seemed to agree as it's glow, and the enrgy that came from it, became almost tangible. "And you are starting to get on my nerves."
"Sorry." That was getting worriesome.

(( Hey Joshua, I didn't know I had a crossbow, where did I get it?  )) As everyone else was fighting the bunny i sunk around and trod on the "Energizer Bunny's ((Nice one Doc))" tail,the bunny started screaming in pain then i started kicking the bunny, in the middle of a kick my leg froze in mid air, then I went flying backwards towards Doc but as i was flying back I threw a fireball... ((It's sombody elses call now, cook the bunny if you like. ;D)) |

(((I didn't know you could throw fireballs. It's patrol, everybody takes their 'gear' with them on Patrol. Everything from swords, stakes, daggars, to and including crossbows.))) Again, that eerie shield popped up just in time to stop and obliterate the fireball. In retaliation it sent two fireballs back at the new guy, and somehow I doubted that he was as good as Maya or even Nicki were at getting out of such a situation. Hoping to all the gods, especially the Big Guy, there were that the use of this astral projection did not rob me of my other powers, I tapped into my magic and sent a time bubble to shield Tpot. It worked better than I had hoped and expected! Rather than flying to protect him, as what usually happened, the time bubble appeared around the still flying warrior, freezing him in mid air, and the outer edges completely stopped and dissipated the fireball. Once the immediate danger had passed, and while everyone was still being stunned at such a turn of events, I slowly lowered the guy to the ground, and retrieved the energy needed to create the time bubble. Turning to the demon bunny, I knew that it saw *me* and not just my body but the astral me. I smirked at it and got into a ready position. It squinted its eyes at me, probably angry at me for some odd reason  , and then started throwing, or maybe casting is a better term for it, fireball after fireball at me. Luckily the only thing directly behind me, as the fireballs all went through my astral form, was a mauselium and some tombstones. "Let's bring it on then," I say and reach into my energies for power. |

(((I guess Maya and I really are the only ones that *frequent* the game...)))
At first I thought that maybe the demon bunny (demonny?) couldn't see me after all . . . and then I began to see a semi-transparent image coming into view just behind and around the demonny. It was humanoid, enough to give it arms legs a head and torso, but each were so supernaturally strong to be called unnatural, not counting the green scaly skin and red glowing eyes, and I had no doubt this was the demonny's *true* form, even if it was visible only on the Astral Plane.
For a small little while we just stared at each other. Our presences on the Astral plane, even if it was a reflection of a place on Earth, was having some strange environmental effects that I could not safely be aware of at that place. Namely the surrounding area.
Finally, he made the first move...

"Beats the hell out of me," Maya said, still kneeling over Joshua's passed out body.
"Actually," Doc sarcastically commented, "its been beating the hell out of *ALL* of us. Mai! Is there *ANY* way you could speed up Joshua's healing? I'm hoping he could buy us a little *time*."
Maya nodded at the subtle hint, even if she didn't have to like it and tried to concentrate on waking Joshua up sooner, but whatever had happened to him, his power, his mind, or maybe a combination of the both, had completely left his body. Although she could tell with her mental abilities that he was still in the general vacinity, she could not yet pinpoint where, and especially not with that overwhelming presense of evil in her mind caused by the demonny thing.
Then it all went to hell as the environment itself seemed to turn against everyone, human, champion, and demon alike.

Sorry, I was wrong; Rogue made the first move and I just barely ducked, although from the Astral plane one has to wonder if one could even be affected by anything in the real world, let alone injured or hurt by it. All the same, I'm still glad I ducked just in time for Rogue's attack to hit the demonny full on.

"This thing is pissing me OFF!" I shouted. Out of instinct, I plunged my sword's now fully extended blade intot eh ground. The ripple effect knocked teh demon bunny thing, the environment and Rogue back. "Oh bugger. Sorry 'but the Rogue. I didn't even know I could do that."

"Oh bloody hell!" I cried- Joshua was healed already, so what the hell was he doing? I knew he was near, and was sick and tried of trying to shield his body while fighting off bunny-boy. "Wake the hell up!" I yelled, slapping him hard about the face...
