Sheila would have fallen in. Her powerful guardian sword swings, missing the skulls, and that's all she got to do before losing her footing, falling backwards. Below the malice seems to roar, victorious, that woman was the one who had dared to shoot at it with electricity, it would get its comeuppance--
--or that was how it would have been, if Zuko hadn't made a pipe float and catch Sheila. That move is enough to push her back, and Sebastian's help saves her balance -- although he did grab the rod instead of her. Better move from the edge, you two! The skulls, not satisfied with the lack of success at throwing her into the pit, decide to attack them directly, to bite them, one for Sebastian and one for Sheila!
Not done trying to save people, Zuko lands on the one holding Bradley just when it had grabbed and lifted him in the air, the butt of the rifle missing completely. Under Zuko's feet the malice ripples, Zuko's weight making him sink a little into it, with some very unpleasant noises. An eye pops up from it to look at him right when Zuko attempts to stab the malice, it all slithering away from Bradley, leaving him on the platform feeling exhausted due to the contact with evil magic. This bunch of malice, with Zuko on top of it, whips around attempting to throw him off [13] right onto the edge of the platform.
Look down, though, everyone: the water level is beginning to rise. The pumps inside the pillar with the platform are working overtime, the vibrations of the platform feel a little stronger now, but it's too much water to deal with, it's beginning to fill the pit and lift the malice upwards. It will get up to everyone's level in two turns!
