Looking up as she felt the cold wind on her face, it took a moment for Zoe to control her expression as she took in the scene in front of her. It was a scene which she had mixed feelings on, to say the least. On the one hand, whatever the new arrival from the other team did seemed to have had a pretty big effect on the creature, and Zoe thought she could finally see an opportunity to end it. Taking out the last spaghetti monster meant their fight would be as good as won as far as she was concerned.

On the other hand, she hesitated. Her teammate was up there, and not in a great position from what she'd seen. If she didn't think about what she was doing and made the thing angry too quick, it seemed like there was a very real chance it'd get the other girl killed.

[color=palevioletred][i]Could always do it anyway. Might be fun![/i][/color] The thought wasn't completely unexpected, but Zoe pushed it to the back of her mind as well as she could. Although it [i]would[/i] be the fastest way out... And besides, didn't she kind of want to? Since she got her powers, didn't it always feel pretty good to watch whenever someone else got--

[color=palevioletred]"Stop."[/color] She hissed sharply under her breath. This wasn't the time to let those thoughts come to the surface. It gave her a sick feeling in her stomach, and she'd got enough of that from the poison. It was just the stigma talking, she reminded herself. Apparently it didn't mix well when she let herself get angry on top of it. Still, she didn't want to do anything that'd get Allison killed. She was pissed about this whole fight, but not [i]that[/i] pissed.

Still, Zoe wasn't going to personally help Allison's escape for a couple of reasons. One, her powers seemed like they'd be more effective in actually killing this thing than anyone else around here, and two, right now she'd be as likely to somehow hurt the other girl as she would be to help pull her out of there. No, she'd just have to do her job and hope everyone would be out of the way when the creature died.

Besides, making sure the monster couldn't get a hold of anyone else was priority number one, so it looked like it was time for her to be the one getting actually getting shit done. Again. If this kept happening, she was gonna start keeping score.

Because of the risk that it'd send the thing into a frenzy, Zoe wasn't going to take out any of the noodles right now - instead running without a word towards the edge of the plate that they'd emerged from. What she was planning on doing was probably reckless, but she was desperate to tear this thing open as quickly as she could because maybe that'd be enough to make the urges [i]stop[/i]. She didn't want to hurt anyone when the fight was over, so she was hell-bent on landing the killing blow.

Once she reached the source of the noodles, she looked at the gap between the edge of the plate and the ground. It wasn't huge, but it looked big enough for her to get through. Now that she knew where the stomach was, she figured tearing it open would be a piece of cake once she got underneath. Good thing the creature was upside down. Steeling her nerves, she took her last few steps towards the plate.

[color=palevioletred][i]It's almost over. I can finish this.[/i][/color]

Gritting her teeth, Zoe grabbed the edge of the plate, pulling herself through the gap and underneath the monster. Holding her breath and closing her eyes in anticipation of the stomach acid that she expected to follow, she lunged upwards, power once again active in her arms as she attempted to rip open the stomach the same way she'd managed to kill the other one. She really hoped this worked, because otherwise she was completely screwed.
