Toys were being sent out by the dozen towards the House, the small distance enough to close between and survive through Flourence's tricks. Once they reached it, they'd be shrunk down, forced to take on the same size and components of the snacks within, as they'd barrel through and try to take what's rightfully theirs. Envy and Tsukiya would be waiting on the courtside, watching the people around hide in their shops and homes, unable to come out. "So... this was why he needed the house. What bulls-" Envy commented, but Tsukiya raised her finger to interrupt him.
"Waow Waow! No swearing~!" She'd taunt, Shikigami quickly escaping from her sleeve, another wall set for the Toys to try and barrel through.
"The kids aren't here though. I should at least have free reign on that..."
"No, no. Harvard is! He could be hearing us by now, Waow!"
The Beldam took interest in knowing the Card Magician was still in the shop, as she peered over to try and catch a glimpse of the fight. As the toys tore down the wall, they'd be met with a massive barrage of cat-like creatures, each one taking a gummy-like shape. Because of the Talismans still being functional, but the residents not, the Gummy cats would be summoned and snare any 'toy' that was ever close by, be it an arm that gets stuck, a leg, or even their entire body.
Bakeneko's.
They bounce and bounce across the area, giggling and dancing by themselves, trying to break off that very limb they snared. Watching such limbs contort, the Beldam would strike at the wall and force the area to come down, making Envy set up different appendages to catch and carry the rubble. When he did, the woman opened its maw, the gum still jamming, but being just big enough to bite through the tar, moving her steel fingers to snap and create a small spark, lighting it ablaze. Flames would begin to eat away the gum, prompting Flourence to strike when she was not looking.
"CANDY MAGIC!! GRE-"
WHAMM!!!!
Right before he'd shoot his shot, the Toys maneuvered themselves, using the gummy Bakeneko's to act as massive hammers to crush under Flourence's body, breaking off more of his lower body. In retaliation, he'd set up his candy cane to wrap around one of the toy's heads, yanking it down, burying it into the House, letting Hansel take into effect and invade into its body. Once the head popped out, he'd control it, using the sugar and sweets to puppeteer like a second nervous system, breaking off the Bakeneko and having it rampage across the rest. A moth-like kite that would sharpen its edges and spin around like a sawblade, cutting the army down in half. Of course, it came at the sacrifice of the Yokai, but a quick merge with the House had them temporarily regain their life, letting them exit out of the House, their forms properly regained. Large tiger-like cats, their bodies visibly wounded, but was wrapped around by whatever confection acted as their bandages. Claws as long as their teeth, saber tooths across their jaws. Their eyes were of two slits, making an x shape as they'd try to track down and hit the Beldam's vitals. Unfortunately for them, she would hold the upper hand, as her own mouth began to spin. A living turbine, controlling the heat that was burning her mouth, condensing it down to a small ball, to then a thick beam, taking aim, and firing it.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
A Pillar of plasma, piercing through half of the makeshift army Tsukiya created. Flourence would stab into the House and have it sprout legs to narrowly dodge the blast, running away as it gained up, watching the toys being re-created again. "She's not letting up! What do we do!?" The cookie panicked, prompting Envy to take the reigns once more.
"Let me take a crack at this." He'd state, as he'd launch out his tar once again. He'd coat the floorboards along with the gum, cutting it off to prevent himself from being caught on fire, letting the tar seep into the ground and watch it be lit up. The gum trailed across the flames, snaking around the environment. The toxic smell began to rise up, bringing confusion towards the others.
"How is that supposed to help us??"
"Watch." His words would only make Flourence question him further, but once he'd squint his eyes as he repaired his body, he could see a silhouette coming around. The smog wasn't there to debilitate, but to hide. To conceal anyone with the same smoky color as camouflage. Criollo would be seen slashing and hacking at the Beldam, prompting her to shift sights and try to laser the Guard alive. Because of his small size, however, the cookie was able to keep out of harms way, watching the toys be just as lost and stumped as she was. Eventually, she'd be positioned in the middle of the area, having the Beldam try to break any windows or open any holes to let out the smog so that she can sense out and catch the Cookie giving her such trouble. "You're seeing it, right?"
"How... How is that even working? Doesn't she have mirrors for eyes? She shouldn't be seeing clearly..."
"Yes and no. Her eyes are mere mirrors, that is very much a thing. However, those are her 'eyes.' She's not 'seeing' through them directly."
Flourence would look back towards the Beldam, seeing what Envy meant. Every time she tried to track down Criollo, her 'eyes' became foggy, the smog cloaking and smudging her sight. She doesn't see through it, but from it, through the use of reflections and light. Anything that she can see is mainly through the area around her, giving her an almost 360 Degree angle around her entire person, the glass across the shop extending that sight like a living telescope. It was how she was able to react in time with most of the attacks and plan ahead. "She's a living mirror... This entire place is just one big eye for her to follow."
"Now you're catching on. Just need someone else now to damage her while she's 'blinded.' Shouldn't be too long to find someone like that." Envy would point at another spot of smog, letting them see a silhouette approaching close.
Puffy hair, now split apart and flowing freely, his eyes gazing through the thick smog.
