Though Uri's assault upon the massive stone spikes was effective and thorough, only moments after they were launched into the shadows did a single one of them return from that abyss... heading the other direction than they had been flung. That single spike trailed streamers of tangible shadows behind it, clinging to it like the tail of a comet as the spike sailed through the air and lanced into the ground several feet in front of Magnetica's position angling away from her.
"This." Sighed the coalescing shadows upon the far end of the projectile. They rapidly came together to form into a slim-framed humanoid figure crouched at the tip of the former missile which was wearing long black and silver robes and adorned with silver shoulder epaulets and a voluminous black hood. "Is a joke."
"Under attack, they said."
The voice emanating from within the depths of the hood hissed out the words of it's condemnation as a ghastly frame of shadowy weapons loomed from the apparition's back giving it the appearance of size that it had lacked earlier as it crouched with it's elbows resting against it's knees.
"It's a crisis, they said."
Moving with quick but deliberate shifts, the hooded head of the creature now revealed finally to be the ANBU Sennin of Sunagakure turned towards Magnetica and slowly shook from side to side.
"Having rushed here to prevent the catastrophe which was clearly in process of occurring you cannot imagine my utter disappointment."
When the reports had reached Mikaboshi's desk of an attack on the gates which had brought the entirety of the lift in the Maw to a halt, they had described a scene of similar disaster as the attack of the supernatural monster which Sand had come to know as the Djinn. But this? A half-breed woman who was throwing rocks? This barely rated something that Mikaboshi would deign to have an extended conversation about much less actually attend to in person.
"Still, I am already here."
And with that, Mikaboshi stood while his "wings" flared out and the spike beneath his feet disintegrated under the crushing force of his will as he raised his right hand, his clawed fingers crooked in a grasping gesture, and unleashed a torrent of slashing kinetic force that scythed forward towards Magnetica obliterating the stone floor of the cavern as it went without showing any signs of stopping or slowing.
"Try not to be as boring as you look!"
