[b]“From where I’m hanging, it looks like you’re doing quite fine, Astro-Boy. Although, I think you’re supposed to beat up the giant snake, not the other way around.”[/b]

He could hear her taunting from the sidelines, apparently tearing him a new one for calling her Spider Girl. He took a moment to glare at her, attempting to make a retort before the snake bashed its head on the ceiling, flattening War-Pulse before he got a chance to retort. He only managed a growl of dissatisfaction as he brought an elbow down on the beast's nose. This was not the first time he had charged something with no plan, but he figured if this woman was smart enough to at least figure out a way to help, anything that would assist his attempts to wrangle the damned thing.

However, before he managed a response of 'hit thing thing with everything you got' her response rang out over the snake's hisses.

[b]“Oh, um, I have an idea. So could you just hold onto that creature for a little bit longer? Thanks!”[/b] Her voice echoed through the cave, and before War-Pulse managed to look in her direction, she was already taking off.

"Wait, What?!" War-Pulse shouted between pushes. "Where are you going? Hey! Don't just leave me here! Hey!"

Too late, he already lost sight of her. He cursed loudly, expelling his anger in another couple of punches to the writhing snake's head, causing it to buckle and shudder with each impact, responding in kind with another whip into the wall. He was helping her out, and she just books it? How dare her! What kind of goody-two shoes heroes populate this city if they all leave big fights up to other people?

Still, part of him wanted to believe she was actually coming up with a plan, you do not put on a gaudy pair of tights to run from stuff, and he had to believe this lady was no exception. He was possible snake food if she was, so he had to put some kind of faith in her. As she requested, he begrudgingly held onto the beast, causing it more pain and grief with energy blasts to the top of its head, forcing it to the floor. As soon as its head hit the floor, he hopped off and whirled around, delivering a massive haymaker to the thing's nose, causing it to reel back in pain, hissing and snarling in anguish. It responded in kind, bringing its tail forward in a massive strike, bashing War-Pulse off of a wall and skidding across the murky water on the ground. He came to a stop, and delivered another large energy pulse, blasting at the beast's face and body to try and keep it from pursuit. Indeed the blasts hit their mark, but the snake still moved forward, its mighty jaws snapping and snarling as it advanced.

As soon as it was in range, War-Pulse dealt it an uppercut, its head flying up into the air before making a u-turn and slamming back down on the mercenary, again catching it in its mouth. With another whip of its head, it flung War-Pulse back into another wall, his body cratering into the soft dirt and making a new tunnel just for himself. War-Pulse took a minute to shake off the vicious strike, shaking his head and groaning before flying back out of the tunnel. To his dismay, the snake had turned its attention to the end of the tunnel the woman had ran off to, beginning to chase the potentially easier prey. 

War-Pulse chased after the beast, grabbing hold of its tail and attempting to keep it in place before shouting, "You better have a good plan down there, lady! I don't think it finds me appetizing anymore!"
