Earlier :
Tiffania and Megumin were stationed at the backlines under a makeshift tarp, the former to help heal those injured in battle, and the latter to recover her energy from her initial explosion spell.
Sure, Megumin had improved greatly during her time in Tamriel, but doing such vast amounts of damage still took the air out of her. She could probably manage another, but she'd pass out as soon as she did so.
"Megumin, he was struck by poison, pass the antidote!" the half-elf says as she treats a Nord who was missing his eye.
"Which one!?" the sweaty explosion girl asks while gesturing to the shelf filled with vials, having already been run ragged despite not being an active combatant.
"I don't know, just use the universal one!" Tiffania says, unsure which poison had been used. In cases like this, she was forced to use the more expensive universal antidotes, which they only had a small quantity of.
Tiffania forces the potion down the man's throat and checks him over with an analysis spell. She nods in satisfaction as the potion begins working, only taking the time to bandage the man's eye before moving on to the next person.
She looks up for a moment, chewing her lip in thought, "Where is Miss Umnii? She should've been back by now."
"Maybe she got caught up healing someone else? There's a lot of injured people!" Megumin guesses, but she's proved greatly mistaken when the dup spots smoke nearby, all but declaring that a fire was starting.
"Anno... Should we get that?" Megumin asks, unsure if they should leave their post.
Tiffania nods, "Everyone else is busy, none of the other healers is any good at fighting either... Let's go."
With that, the duo make their way out of the medical area and rush down the street until they find a burning building with many unconscious bodies in front of it. Some civilians and the few guards left to defend the town seem to have tried to fight off whoever was responsible for this... At great cost too, as they discovered that many of the people had already succumbed to their wounds.
"We need to tell the others! There's no point fighting if there's no town to go back to!" Megumin says as begins looking around cautiously.
"We need to help these people first! Do you have any spells to stop the fire?" Tiffania asks as she begins checking the people, leaving the dead while trying to heal the survivors.
"N-no, I don't." Megumin solemnly admits, she'd focussed almost entirely on Destruction spells, never giving real thought to Restoration...
The half-elf sighs and stands, "Give them your potions, I'll stop the fire!" she says, raising her wand and beginning the incantation for the vacuum spell she'd learned from Brimir's Prayer Book.
"No you don't!" someone suddenly shouts, jumping down from the roof of a nearby building with a dagger in hand.
Tiffania isn't able to do anything as the man falls atop her, though, for some reason the man had elected to avoid stabbing her?
"You're coming with me, whore!" the man who was wearing light elven armour growls as he grabs a handful of Tiffania's golden hair.
"Get off of her!" Megumin shouts, abandoning the survivors and raising her staff at the Altmer, who lifts Tiffania and positions her in front of him as a meatshield.
"Go on girl, shoot and kill your friend." he says while giving a toothy grin. "Do it, I don't care for the life of this half-breed anyway!"
Megumin scowls and looks at Tiffania who was sliding her hand towards the hidden pocket of her robes. "Let her go and I will burn you alive!"
"Haha! Try it, chil-" the Altmer starts but is cut off as Tiffania stabs her Blink Dagger backwards into the gap of the man's armour, stabbing his hip and causing him to let go of her. She then activates the Blink Dagger and appears next to Megumin, who'd already launched her spell. "DIE, PIG!"
*THWOOM!*
"AAAARRRRRRGGHIIIIYAAAAA!!!" the elf goes up in flames as Megumin had promised, her fireball striking true and causing him to begin rolling along the ground in agony.
"Are you okay!?" Megumin asks in relief as she looks over Tiffania.
"I think so... I'll have to thank Michael and Saeko for their tips to use daggers..." she mutters.
"Hmph! I knew Clesil was useless, but not to the extent of being killed by two little girls!" a voice echoes out in the street, prompting the duo to look over.
They spot a few robed Thalmor standing on a nearby roof, both quickly dropping into a combat stance.
"We've already secured the blue girl, so come with us willingly or I'll be forced to break your arms and legs first." he arrogantly demands.
"I don't think so!" Megumin shouts as she uses one of the only frost spells she knows, firing a barrage of knife-sized shards at the group... The spell is blocked via a Ward however, forcing Tiffania to act.
"You've forced me to use this... Rasengan!" she intones before jabbing her wand at them, using a weaker version of the spell in order to not destroy a portion of the city.
The Thalmor are caught off-guard due to their ward failing them, Tiffania's spell bypasses it and appears under their feet, rising upwards and instantly tearing the legs from three of them.
Two men manage to escape the blender-like winds that form, only to watch in tortured fascination as their allies' bodies are mulched into red paste, smearing the walls of the nearby building in new rancid red paint.

The two Thalmor looks between Tiffania and the red smears that were once their allies in disbelief, this quickly turns to anger however as Tiffania returns to a neutral stance, obviously expecting them to flee in terror.
"I won't let you go for that, damned half-breed whore!" one shouts and jumps backwards, off of the roof and into cover. The other raises his hands and throws them outwards in different directions, causing carts, stones, and other debris to be telekinetically thrown at Tiffania and Megumin.
Tiffania and Megumin throw themselves backwards, both wincing as the corpses and survivors are crushed into pulp.
Megumin casts some fireballs to blast apart some incoming debris while Tiffania takes cover behind her, chanting her own spell in the meantime.
*Thwooom!*
Fire erupts from buildings both near and far, making them realize that there were more groups of Thalmor behind the lines than just the one they'd faced.
*Shiiik!*
Megumin's ward blocks an ice spear and Tiffania retaliates jabbing her wand at the hiding Thalmor, a large plume of ash leaves the tip of her wand and crawls through the air towards her target... Unlike her usual ashen spells, this one lacked the usual heat, allowing her to use it without burning half the city down.
The two Thalmor run out of their cover to avoid it, but the spell follows them, breaks through their conjured ward and catches them. While Tiffania and Megumin could no longer see them through the thick ash, they could hear their hacking coughs, though, these are soon suppressed as their throats and lungs are filled with the substance.
Half a minute of silence passes and Tiffania end the spell, revealing the blue-faced corpses of the Thalmor, their mouths overflowing with ash.
"Gross..." Megumin mutters at their disfigured, bloated faces.
"They said they captured Umnii, and there's still more in the city!" Tiffania reminds the girl, whose back straightens in realisation.
*WOOSH!*
A strong wind blows past them, striking the nearby burning building and quickly suppressing the flames. They look over and spot Illococoo running over with a strange expression. "Big sis! Bad people are chasing me!" she exclaims
Not far behind her, they could see three Thalmor with magical ropes in their hands, ready to bind the girl. "Stop running or we'll clip your wings, permanently! Beast!"
Tiffania's brow raises to her hairline, how did they know of Illococoo's true form? Michael said he'd killed everyone in the Thalmor fort, and she'd stayed outside of sight, not including the Greybeards...
Shaking her head she jabs her wand towards the Thalmor, "Duck!" she tells Illococoo as she chants her spell, "ERASE!"
*Flash!*
The three Thalmor fall onto their faces mid-stride as the spell connects, their eyes blank and lifeless due to the loss of all of their memories.
"Thank you big sis!" the dragon girl chirps as she hugs Tiffania.
...
"Why didn't you deal with them yourself...?" she questions, knowing well that Illococoo could beat them.
Illococoo pouts, "Shouting makes my throat hurt in this form, my wind could beat their shield-things, and big bro said I shouldn't transform..."
"-Unless you need to... I think this counts." Megumin adds.
The dragon girl punts Megumin in the shin in response, "Ouch!"
"You're just trying to get me in trouble!"
...
*Boom!*
Tiffania chews her lip, "Come on! We need to stop the others! Illu, use your dragon form! You have my permission!"
Illococoo smiles, "Okay, big sis!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michael glides over to where a fire had just started in the city and lands on a nearby building, his new Thalmor buddy still flailing in his grasp. "So, this was your plan huh? Distract us with an army while you burn my shit? Not smart."
The Thalmor rasps something out but it's too quiet and mumbled to pick up.
"Huh, what was that?... Come on, speak up if you wanna be heard." Michael asks, shaking the man slightly... Well, shaking him enough to kill a baby.
"I-it's too late..."
"Too late?..." he glances around, "I don't know about you, but most of the city is still here... Your army's not looking too good either."
*BOOOOM!*
*RUUUUMMMBBLLLEEE!*
...
"Too. Late." the Thalmor says again, grinning despite his bloody mouth and missing teeth.
"Fuck you." Michael sniffs and snaps his neck, not wanting to deal with that stubborn smug cunt any longer.
He fires a Laguna Blade at the nearby Thalmor group who was still trying to burn shit and flies upwards to see what the commotion just now was.
He's joined in the sky by Illococoo, just as he looks North and spots what was coming.
"I really can't get a fucking break..."
"Not like you deserve one, partner..."
In the distance he could see many Aldmeri Dominion ships sailing through the ice and towards the cliff that Winterhold sits on... On some of them were siege weapons that were already firing... Large chunks had already been taken from the College of Winterhold's walls, making Michale worried over the potential for the entire thing collapses.
The College itself was only hanging on by a thread, so any damage to its foundations could very well mean the end of it.
"Well, at least Kunkka will appreciate the earlier call to duty..." he mutters. He could feel that Lina had somehow been killed, but all that meant was he had a free slot to summon another Spirit. Lina herself would still be 'alive' in her world, probably grumpy at her defeat though.
"Illu, I need you to find and kill any other Thalmor that tries to burn the city. Once they're gone, feel free to help me with the navy."
"Okay, big bro! I got it! I promise!" she chirps before shouting "LAAS YAH NIR!", which Michael barely recognised as the 'Aura Whisper' shout that she'd been practising lately.
Illococoo glides down to the city like an eagle that'd spotted its prey, quickly snatching a hidden Thalmor in her jaws as Michael makes his way over to the Thalmor navy.
