"Whoa!" Zac cries as he finds himself thrown off of the monster, sword in hand. However, instead of falling to the ground or crashing into a building, he manages to flip in midair, his feet hitting the building he had been flying toward.

Lowering his sword, he aims the tip behind him as another message appears on his screen. However, focused on his enemy, he doesn't notice it. With a yell, he pushes himself away from the building and back toward the machine-like monster. Flipping once again, he raises his sword above his head and slashes as he passes underneath the creature, slicing it's underside.

The cut, however, isn't deep enough to do any major damage. One of the tendrils wraps around his arm and yanks him back the way he came. The sudden jolt as he changes direction forces Zac to drop his sword. "Damn!" he mutters as he reaches up and attempts to unwrap the tendril as the machine lifts him in front of it.

The center light begins to glow red as a low hum fills the air. Sensing the danger, Zac lashes out with his foot, but finds that the creature was holding him too far away for the attack to do any good. [i]Guess this is it, then,[/i] he thinks. [i]I think I've had a good run...[/i]
