Natalie is standing guard on top of the bus. The time has come to direct your shadowy brothers to attack the vehicle.

You must post a player to submit the attack on. Any shadow can do this by posting ##Attack: Player name. You can attack up to 10 players.

Natalie is guarding 6 players of her choice. She can choose to guard another 6 at any time. If you target a player she is guarding, the attack won't be successful. If you target a player she isn't guarding, the attack will succeed and that player's votes for the round will not count towards final showdown.

Once you have submitted an attack and Natalie posts that she's ready, the onslaught will take place. You will be told the results of the attack, whether or not it was successful. Natalie won't be told who was attacked if it succeeds or fails, she'll only be told that somebody was hit or that she blocked an attack.

When you're ready, begin the assault.

The remainder of the phase. But bear in mind after each attack Natalie has to post she's ready and I have to post the results. It's better if it doesn't drag out too long. If I'm not around to do the updating, it can't be updated. So you'll do better if you submit all your attacks within the first 6 hours or so.

Wikey closed his eyes subtly. It was done so fast it looked like a blink. And a brother was summoned. A shape whizzed out from the dark cloud above. Perfect. He held onto a false look of fear as the shape smacked hard into the side of the bus, screeching, before it flew off again.

The first attack was successful. Submit your next when you're ready.

Waka focused. Showtime once more. Another dark shadow smashed into the side of the bus as the people on board scattered. The damage was already done. Defending was futile.

The second attack was successful. Submit your next when you're ready.

Waka was disappointed. His brothers didn't seem to be doing much. Didn't they know the bus was going to reach its destination soon and they wouldn't have time for the full ten attacks if they didn't act quickly? He focused and smiled when a third shadow appeared at the back of the bus, causing some chaos. The smile was subtle. Nobody saw it.

The third attack was successful. Submit your next when you're ready.

It was dutchiee's turn. There was a glint in his eye as the bus rocked for the fourth time. Perfect. The fourth attack was successful. Submit your next when you're ready.

Waka focused as the top of the bus shook with a shriek. Good.

The fifth attack was successful. Submit your next when you're ready.

Waka focused yet again. This was going too perfectly. There was a frown as he tried to communicate and the thing...

*BANG BANG*

The sound of gunfire up above drew everybody's attention, as a dark black shape plummeted past the window.

Damnit, she got one of them.

The sixth attack was unsuccessful. Submit your next when you're ready.

Waka focused once more. Last time was a disaster. This time...
*BANG BANG*

There were more gasps as Waka despondently watched the shade fall.

The seventh attack was unsuccessful. Submit your next when you're ready.

Hitting the driver will surely work? Waka focused his mind again and this time...

*BANG BANG*

Yet again a shadow fell. For the last time. Ari stared on as Roth barked out orders to stop the bus in the background. The bus slowed down as the shadows focused their telepathy. This wasn't over.

The eighth attack was unsuccessful. No more attacks may be submitted.
