Grey came to a stop as she heard that piercing scream, wheeling around and noticing, with no small amount of horror, exactly the extent of his folly. The world seemed to go dark as he witnessed that... Monster tear off his Ally's hand. He dropped to a knee, nearly vomiting at the sight of the horrifying visage their opponent had dawned... He had.. underestimated her considerably... No, that wasn't strong enough. He fucked up, no other way about it.
