The Warped (2nd Party)

[serpington]

max could hear constances footsteps and he cold tell something wasn't right. "hay constance, are you OK?" he asked turning around. he saw her face and sighed walking over moving macid so he was hanging over his shoulder while he held his legs against his chest. "what happened? and don't say nothing cos the way you look at the moment you wouldn't fool anyone." he crouched down and set down macid carefully and finished walking over to constance. "sit down and let me see." he sighed standing in front of her.

The behemoth noticed its lunch running away and pushed past the ogre towards the partially fleeing group. His sights, however, were on the furthest one, a lizard that was holding a book. The behemoth charged towards her at full speed. Moon noticed it from her vantage point and dove in to cover and headbutt the behemoth in the back of the head, but the behemoth stopped and raised its head, causing Moon to falter, and it caught Moon in its mouth. Moon squealed in pain as the behemoth's jowls clamped down onto her. Though her growth has allotted her some of the impenetrable scales of adult dragons, it only covered a couple places, so some of the teeth did sink into her flesh.

Mortis turned around when she heard Moon's squeals, and utter shock set in. She quit messing with her book and snapped, running past the others, in fact almost barreling over them both enraged and scared for Moon. Without thinking, she jammed her book into her bag and jumped onto the thing's back, using her smaller size to her advantage to climb the thing's back. She grabbed onto its horns and bounced her feet on its head kicking as hard as she could. "Let go, you big jackass!" she yelled. "You've got to have a weak point somewhere!" She looked around trying to find her ogre, hoping it would come to help her. Her chest hurt when she realized just how stupid her move had been and remembered how fast Constance had been tossed off, fear beginning to fester in her mind. Oh well, I did want to die anyway, may as well go out in style... God, why did I do this again? she thought, not relenting with her kicks to the thing's skull. If it tried to toss her off, she had reinforced her grip with her tail on another horn. "Max, or someone, go for it's throat!" She hoped that her ogre hadn't gone anywhere and that it would respond to her request in time... She also hoped the thing would drop Moon as well and that she wouldn't die. "It's got to be vulnerable there..." she shouted between the behemoth's movements, "Everything is vulnerable at the throat!"

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance stopped when Max approached her. When he basically caught her she kinda froze. "Uh..." was the only thing she could say. However she turned around hearing something, seeing that Moon was in trouble. "Moon!" she cried out. Mortis barreled passed her, springing into action by jumping onto the behemoth's back in a similar fashion as she had done earlier. "Gotta help somehow..." she said kneeling down to etch a rune into the ground. Pressing her palm to it she summoned a wolf. "Go help my friend!" she ordered, making the wolf take off at the behemoth. When Mortis made and opening for it's throat and called for Max she turned to him. "Go! Don't worry about me. I'm fine." she said moving to take Macid. She took her bag off her back and tossed it at a tree a few yards away. Constance lifted him up, draping his arms over his shoulder and struggled to stand up. She slowly piggy backed him over to the tree next to her bag and set him down. Upon doing so collapsed against the tree next to him. "Okay, no more of that..." She said to herself.

Macid blinked his eyes as he regained consciousness. He looked around to get his bearings, finding that he was sitting against a tree with Constance next to him. He rubbed his head thinking to himself, "I gotta stop doing that." He saw the group fighting the behemoth with Moon in its mouth. It took a while for it to register, but when it did his eyes went wide as he turned to Constance. "That things trying to eat Moon! We gotta help!" He hoisted himself up and got several feet before remembering he had no means of attacking such a monster. His ears drooped as he walked back to Constance and sat down next to her, figuring he could at least try and protect her. "This is horrible Constance."

[serpington]

max groaned getting to his feet again. he drew Ramsey and started running towards the behemoth. as soon as he was close enough he jumped into the air "open wide you overgrown soon to be throw rug!" he swung down cutting the behemoths lower lip and down along the skin between the sides of it's lower jaw. he then stabbed Ramsey into the beast's jaw bone, hoping to hit a few nerves and make it open it's mouth for moon. he held Ramsey firmly hoping the behemoth didn't get the idea to slam it's head down and that he hadn't hit moon.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

The kicking on its head did not affect the behemoth, but it did annoy it enough to sway a bit. When stabbed in the jaw, the behemoth roared as it let go of Moon and shook its head, trying to loose Ramsey and to try to shake off Mortis. It bled profusely as it was unsuccessful, and finally collapsed onto its side, which ended up sending Mortis skidding a couple meters. It let out a low growl in its throat before finally silencing in its death. Moon whimpered as she laid not too far away, bleeding.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Everything seemed to go by in a blur until Mortis was ejected from the behemoth. She laid there for a moment, tensing up when she heard the thing growl. She felt as if she had landed wrong on her wrist as she went down. And I think it's my right wrist, too.. I hope I didn't break it, that's what I draw with... The chameleon groaned, sitting up and grunting from the pain that was shooting through her body. Along with her wrist screaming at her, the pain was indicating some new injuries, namely scrapes and bruises. She was covered in dirt from her toss, but despite all that had happened, she didn't hesitate to rush to Moon's side when she heard her whimper. She ran over, almost falling at first from getting up too fast and placed her hands on the dragon's head to pet her. She winced when her wrist came to rest, but played it off attempting to comfort Moon. She looked her over, and managed to utter a thank you to Moon, but Mortis was more focused on looking over Moon's injuries to see if she could use that goo on her.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance felt sick to her stomach as she watched the fight unable to do anything to help Moon. She saw Macid wake up and begin to panic about needing to help Moon which made her feel worse. "We can't do anything..." she said lowly, looking down at her lap. After a few moments she heard the thud and looked up to see the behemoth on the ground. She shot up from where she sat and moved towards Moon but stopped short grasping her leg. She collapsed onto all fours, with a pained expression on her face. The wolf she had summoned returned to her side, standing firmly beside her so she could use him to get up. She managed to get to her knees and then stand up using the wolf as a bit if a crutch. However it still hurt to much to move quickly without help from someone taller and not walking on all fours.

[Ares the Ram]

Macid watched as the behemoth thrashed with the rest of the group, feeling terrible he couldn't help. He held his arms across his chest, suddenly realizing he did not have his book. He was relieved to find it was in his bag the whole time. He took it out and hugged it tight, like a child and a teddy bear. He saw the behemoth topple and everyone get tossed off, Moon whimpering a few meters away from it. Constance was the first to get up and rush over to help, only to stumble and fall. Her wolf came quickly to help her up, but wasn't a very good crutch. "Constance!" Macid rushed over and kneeled down next to her, stuffing his book into his bag again and draping her arm around his neck. "Ready? 1, 2, 3." With her and her wolf's help, He hoisted her up to her feet and helped her make their way towards Moon and Mortis. Macid had not forgotten about Max however, and once he set Constance down near Mortis, he went over to where Max was to help him up. "Max! Are you allright?"

[serpington]

max got to his feet, his jaw stinging from when Ramsey had caught him on the chin. he rubbed it his jaw and walking over to the dead behemoth. he used a foot for leverage to pull Ramsey out as macid ran over. "Max! Are you allright?" "yea, better than this thing." he looked around at the others while pressing a hand to hes side. "well macid, looks like you and i are the only two not injured." he sighed taking the cast of his now healed wound. "we should help them. don't worry about me, I'm fine.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Moon continued to whimper as the others gathered around her, her purple blood oozing slowly from her wounds. Meanwhile, Ramsey glowed blue as did the smaller ones and they floated over to the one in Max's hand. The smaller Ramsey circled around the main one faster and faster, as they melded into it. The blade began to curve forward and the underside of the curve gained a serrated edge.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Mortis reached into her bag, retrieving the goo and looked Moon over. "Moon, this may hurt, but I gotta do it." She said, not sure if Moon would react. Without waiting much longer, she squeezed the goo out of the bag and into Moon's wounds, trying to hide the pain of her injured wrist as she worked. When she finished, she tossed the bag aside, the goo pretty much expended due to Moon's size.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance took Macid's help with walking not having much choice in the matter. When he set her down next to Moon she turned to thank him. "Thank Ma-..." by the time she had said anything he had run off to help Max. With a small sigh she turned to the injured Moon to pet her while Mortis applied the healing gel stuff. "You're gonna be okay, girl. Just hang in there. That mean old behemoth is gone. You're okay now." she said trying to console her. She couldn't really do much else and she knew it so she did what she could.

[Ares the Ram]

"If you say so Max." Macid began to walk back towards the others when he stopped to look at the behemoth. It was hard to believe that just a few minutes ago it was trying to kill them. He spat in its general direction and went over to kneel down next to Moon and the others. He watched as Mortis applied the goo that had been used on Max before and discard the bag it was kept in, while Constance tried to sooth her through the healing. He put his hand on Moon to try and help Constance pet her when he noticed the ruby on Anon and the other notches next to it. He brought it closer to his face so he could examine it better. He spoke out loud to himself. "First my book acts up, then the pen gets this little jewel. What does it mean?" He was so entranced by the gem that he had forgotten about the others momentarily.
