If Jiang hadn't at least slowed the assailant down with his blade, Metou would've been run through. When Jiang slashed through the enemy's face and into their brain, it managed to jolt Metou and get her flapping. With a short burst of motion from her wings, Metou tried to throw herself out of the way of the charging brute, but his face caught her foot and she tripped over him. She fell to the ground and quickly scrambled away, gun still in hand, and took off into the air as fast as she could and flew to a sturdy looking branch. [color=bc8dbf]'[i]I suppose we know why those bones are there,[/i]'[/color] Metou thought as she landed.

Metou pointed her rifle at the man with the bone wedged in his head, her thoughts racing. Before pulling the trigger, Metou considered the effect of Jiang's blade on the man. There was no way Metou's bullet would be worth the risk of accidentally hitting a teammate now that the creature was fighting in the middle of the group, if cutting into his brain didn't phase him. As quickly and suddenly as she could, Metou pointed the rifle away from the man that attacked her and towards the chest of the woman controlling them, and fired.
