The sunflares simply aren't solid... it's a fluid, gasses, but not one....
Ella "(Six rings, six portals. But she always keeps at least one on her for a teleport if she gets in danger-)"
Ella "(Even so, five active at a time is five times what Hex can do. She can't host dimensions, but her teleportation is far more advanced.)"
Ella "(I'd like to kill her before we retreat, but do I have time? At this speed I can keep ahead, no matter what configuration she arranges her portals to trap me in, however-)"
Nico "(She's too fast for me to pin point normally and I can't leave my portals as traps while also using them to hunt her-)"
Nico "(I need long lasting obstacles to limit her range of movement, she'll slow if I can corner her-)"
Nico "(I heard she can fly, but she hasn't grown wings yet. If she does.... Lightning clouds maybe? Or combine my portals and rain burning metal from the sky....)"
"But Ella remains exactly where she is, her wounds healing through the heat, her shapeshifting restoring her natural body."
Nico "How the fuck did you-"
"Resisting Nico's teleportation should be impossible, she's not affecting the body directly, rather creating two separate points in space that her target simply travels through."
"It's why she's been regarded as one of the most dangerous superhumans on the planet since she was a level 3."
"Because even if you surpass her in power, she can still send you anywhere within the range of her powers, as long as your body is caught inside one of her rings."
"But somehow, Ella has resisted the effects, or nullified it."
"The ground beneath Ella explodes, splitting the small mountain both her and Nico stand on."
"From it emerges a monstrous creature, a wriggling mass of teeth, claws, tails, tentacles and more."
"And at their head is Ella's body, fused into the heart of the mound of flesh, controlling it-"
Nico "(Fuck, I knew it. She was hiding her real body...)"
Ella "I'm guessing your power works mostly like Hex's does. If more of your target's body is outside of your ring, than inside, you can't teleport them, right?"
Nico "...."
Ella "Which means with a body like this, I'm almost immune to your powers..."
