[ Well, she was out cold for a second. And now suddenly she's not. That's not really new to Maika, and there's exactly one way she responds to everything unexpected circumstances.
As soon as that Me Patra sinks in, she's bouncing back to her feet with a clawed strike (3) towards the nearest Sandman that... whiffs pitifully.
Sandman 1 takes the hit with a pained squeal. Rude, mister!! It attempts to cast Dormina on Aaron, but misses (4).
Sandman 2 sees that Arven has assisted Maika, and apparently thinks this is a problem, because it casts Dormina: Inflicts Sleep on a single target and deals light damage (16).
Sandman 3 takes a look at all present and simply casts Magaru: Deals light wind damage to all enemies - but misses! (8)
[Arven being asleep is kind of a problem, but Aaron doesn't really have a way of dealing with it short of trying to slap him awake so uh. He's going to try and keep the pressure on Sandman 1 because the faster they take one out, the more breathing room they'll have.
He'll do a short chain of sword strikes at Sandman 1 (11) before turning to Maika.]
[ Perfectly in line with her thinking and right to her priorities. She gives Arven a briefly sheepish sidelong look, but... Yeah, zero support abilities. She'll just have to make it up to him later.
For now, she Lunges (15) at Sandman 1, following up Aaron's attack with a solid physical thwack. ]
[he says, before immediately getting hit by a Magaru fuck
Thankfully, the Dormina misses so he's going for a third attack in a row!! He's going to trust that Arven can heal Maika if needed, so he'll thrust one of his swords straight into Sandman 1's face before following up with an overhead kick in the same spot (17).
[ WHY WIND. Why wind one after another? Maika's picking herself back up from the Magaru when the Garula comes in with a steel chair. ]
That almost tickled, you fuckers!
[ All she wants to do is sink her claws into more creepy moon bastards, but she stumbles (3) from being juggled by wind spells and sulkily resigns herself to casting a Media for a light party heal.
but Aidios what the hell. Okay, he'll actually pull back for this one so he can give Arven a dope slap to wake him up. Because he gets a 10 he whiffs--
[ Two on two? Now it's not even a challenge. Maika, having finally found her footing again, dodges that Garula. And then she tenses to pounce. ]
Anubis!
[ Springing towards Sandman 2, she lashes out with a Fang, Claw, and Fulguration (20) that lets out an incredibly satisfying growl of electric energy. SP conservation is for after this. For now, she wants to savor rending and tearing while she has the chance. ]
[He lets out a whistle at Maika's supereffective attack and Arven's quick follow-up.]
Hell of a one-two punch -- so let's go three for three!
[Jiutian Xuannü appears behind him as a gale whips around his blades before he thrusts them straight at Sandman 2's head (19), hopefully downing that one too.]
[ She wants to get to that bag and apprehend whatever they were running off with; she might not know what's going on, but she's damn sure it's not something monsters should have their grubby hands on. Emboldened by her last success she tries to slash at Sandman 2 (4), but has to dodge aside from the incoming rush of wind spells. ]
[Ugh, he's just taking blow after blow. It's starting to wear him down, even with the heals. He attempts to raise his frying pan to just try to attack and get this fight over with, but he's stopped by the pain.]
Hhhgh...fine. [He lowers his weapon to call for his persona.] Hestia, again!
With a shriek, Sandman 2 goes down! Only Sandman 3 remains.
Looking side to side in realization that its allies are both gone, Sandman 3 casts Dormina on Aaron (14)! Please take a nap and stop hitting it so hard thank you.
[ Uh... So much for their team morale leader. This is probably restoring the balance of Maika's dignity, or something. ]
You, [ luckily unambiguously Arven, whose name she still doesn't know: ] handle him!
[ Someone can teach her how "please" works later. She dodges past Aaron's now napping body to rake her clawed gauntlet (18) right down Sandman 3 from stem to stern. ]
[Arven she wouldn't have heard you she was asleep- Whatever. Whatever! He'll wake Aaron up with Me Patra and not a slap. Though maybe if he needs to conserve his power later...]
[ In perfect accord with Aaron, as she gets smacked across the face hard with whatever is in that bag: ]
Father-fucker!
[ It has to be getting close to dead, so she spitefully decides to burn more energy than it probably warrants. Anubis materializes behind her again and she lashes out with a Lunge (12) for light physical damage. ]

Damn, those assholes were annoying. Did we seriously go through all that for a bunch of pictures?
[Sleep status sucks, news at 11!! Anyway, since there don't seem to be any Shadows left in the immediate vicinity, he sheathes his swords for now so he can pick up the photos. Of course, if Maika or Arven also want to take a gander, he'll hand them over. But at a glance, how many of them are there, and can they see anything on them or nah?]

When he fully comes to and realizes he’s been on the gross floor for a good minute, he lets out a disgusted yell and jumps to his feet.]

[Wait why is he on the ground again WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING.
Arven's very pissed off when he drags himself back to his feet this time. No healing, no cures, he's going straight for some DPS.]
I know they say revenge is best served cold, but you're getting the piping hot version. Hestia, give me your power!
