Their next opponent was one of those older golem kinds made by the labs. Xentus found them fascinating - they were living elements! He tried to not be too excited about seeing one of the rarer kinds in action - it was still their opponent after all. The mammalian muted his anticipation and turned his attention to Eden, who seemed to be... Living up to being a tree. Motionless, aside from the occasional sway of branches and electric flutter of leaves. For a moment, the man wondered if it might fancy the company of a nature golem. There was an idea to explore after this was over.

This time, they were up against a Nyssa. Nina continued to be pleasantly surprised by the variety in her opponents. The fighting pit had certainly changed since last time she did this. Even the competitors were all new, not a single one she recognized. At least not yet.
Nina had a soft spot for Nyssa, but she was determined not to let that hold her back. Not that she had much of a choice in the matter. Once Laputa heard her command, she would go for it, for better or for worse. In a setting like this, it was usually a good thing, but she did sometimes get herself in trouble with her one track mind.

The match began, and... Unlike most fights, there was no immediate rush to get moving from either side. Instead, a thunderous boom rumbled across the arena, seemingly coming from the golem. Xentus winced at the sound, not expecting that from a pile of shimmering rocks. Then again, Eden could do the same and he was certain few expected a tree to sound like a storm. The tree's leaves rustled as the wave of sound wracked its bark. "Get at it, Eden!", the leopard encouraged, but to no avail. The tree remained nearly motionless, though it was hard to tell if it stunned was due to the sound or simply keen on holding its ground.

If there was anything slower than a pile of rocks, it would have to be a tree. Nina knew from experience that Nyssa could move, if they wanted to, but rarely did they find the need. This proved true for this individual as well who seemingly waited for Laputa to make the first move. Unlike the competitors within the pit, Nina wasted no time in calling out commands and doing what she could to direct the flow of battle. It all depended on Laputa, though. She would have to hear the command, think about how to execute it, and do so, which was a lot to ask from a pile of rocks.

Some action in the form of rocks beating on wood finally took place. The reverberating thunk as the golem struck echoed across the sands, indicating a powerful blow. Eden was largely unmoved by the impact. It seemed to contemplate ignoring the golem in hopes that it would settle down and sit there quietly, as rocks should. Xentus mused at the sight, wondering what more the crystal golem would bring. It... Could do more, right? Though, he supposed the same could be pondered of the tree. "Boom, Eden" The command was more of a suggestion than a directive, but the tree did respond in kind - rumbling with a thunderous sound through static discharge of its leaves. Performed with as little motion as possible, of course.

Not many things could withstand a good thumping from solid crystal, but the Nyssa appeared to be one of them. A few shards of bark here and there was the only evidence that she had done anything at all. Nina sighed internally, thinking that she would likely have little luck in crushing the tree quickly and moving on to the next opponent. These two slow, heavy creatures would trade blows for quite some time before one of them finally succumbed. Just as Laputa was preparing her fist for another strike, an earthshaking boom came from the tree. Laputa flinched, and Nina did too. She didn't know he could do that!

The resounding thunder gave an opening. It was hard admittedly to tell, given that not moving was the typical state one might find rock or crystal in to begin with.. But, it was an opening all the same. "Take, Eden!", the leopard directed the tree's next move. The nyssa was woefully urged to break its stillness now, much to its dismay. For a moment it seemed to contemplate disregarding its keeper's words as there was a notable pause between the command and the nyssa's reaction. Alas, it seemed there would be no choice. It moved. A limb swept down and clutched around the elemental's head, being the most aptly shaped rock for 'taking'. It was far too heavy to fully lift from the ground, even with the nyssa's great strength, but it was lifted high enough to keep those arms at bay.

Laputa shook her head as if that would make the sound go away faster. How dare a creature use her own trick against her! She stomped her feet, planting herself solidly on the ground and regaining her balance. Just in time for the tree to grab her and begin lifting her from the ground.
Laputa very much liked being on the ground. Though her expression was hard to read even at the best of times, Nina could notice her distress as she was being lifted. It pained her mechanical heart to see how helpless she was to help Laputa. Usually, the golem was hardly bothered by anything, so seeing even a hint of fear in her was almost too much to bear.

With the living cluster of crystal now firmly gripped, there was but only one thing now to do - chisel away. "Stab, Eden!", Xentus commanded, urging the nyssa to keep whatever semblance of momentum they had going. The tree brought down a pointed limb into the solid crystal, sounding off a ringing tink on impact. There wasn't much damage done as the elemental's body was impressively resilient, but there did appear to be a shallow chip to mark the point of impact. And just as he'd hoped, the living crystal could do little to retaliate. It would only be a matter of time before the creature broke free of the nyssa's hold, however...

Laputa put both of her hands on Eden's trunk and attempted to push herself free, but she was unsuccessful. She continued to tap on the branches and kick her stumpy feet, hoping to break the Nyssa's hold on her. Laputa looked a bit panicked, as she had not met a creature physically stronger than herself before. She didn't quite know what to do with this information, so she continued to haphazardly swing her fists at any piece of the Nyssa she could reach.
Nina was pained to see Laputa in such a position. There was no other way out. If only she could breathe fire. That would show him.
