The Black Scythe

Plot
Kevin swings his metal-coated fist at an Esoterica, having shifted it into a spiked mace. Gwen fires a powerful mana blast into the middle of a small group of Esoterica, which then sends an explosion out to force them away or down. Bryce rolls under the fist of an Esoterica- barely dodging- then slaps his hand down on the Infinity's dial. Ghostfreak appears from the green light looking down at his hands a little thrown off.

(Ghostfreak): I wasn't even sure he was still in there, but I'm not complaining.

Ghostfreak floats toward the Esoterica and they both throw a punch. Ghostfreak becomes intangible, allowing the Esoterica's fist to travel through him, but his own but lands. The Esoterica is lurched back, recovering quickly and firing a violet energy bolt in retaliation. Gwen twirls whilst flinging a mana whip around herself, knocking back Esoterica that had surrounded her. Kevin jumps in to pummel one she had missed, who planned to fire an energy bolt. She gives him a thankful nod and dashes toward him, providing a barrier to deflect oncoming energy bolts.

(Kevin): Thanks.

(Gwen): You've got my back, I've got yours.

Ghostfreak joins them and swings his arm, throwing Esoterica that were coming from the unprotected side back. He glares a few of them down and they accept his challenge, firing energy bolts at him.

(Ghostfreak): Gwen, NOW!

Gwen spins on her heels, moving the barrier just in time to block and redirect the energy bolts back into their casters.

(Ghostfreak): There's so many of them. More than normal, and it's unsettling.

(Gwen): I agree, but there's not just more of them. They're not teleporting out. Actually, they're not falling unconscious like they normally would.

(Kevin): So somethin's up, right?

(Ghostfreak): Yes... Here, let me try something.

Ghostfreak levitates above the battle, getting a view of the hundreds of Esoterica below. He extends his hand out and flexes it. Black claws rip out from under his pale skin, and are then used to rip the other pale skin from his body. Ghostfreak smirks down at the Esoterica.
