Viral was trying to make himself useful but he couldn’t sit around and wait for the charge up while Yumi was in trouble. He didn’t know what to do in this battle and was acting on instinct rather than tactic which was probably going to ruin everything. All the needed to do was sit still for a short time and fire off his attack, but at the same time he needed to protect Yumi whenever she got struck down as to not have her end up being used as a shield. He was being completely reckless, but he didn’t want to screw up and have to deal with killing Yumi accidentally. Running in with a flying punch he managed to catch the creature when it was mostly solid, sending it splattering across the surface. Growling at it he threw another punch when it tried to hit him, managing to stop it but soon became engulfed by it. Being forced to the ground he tried to throw his limbs at it but nothing was working, instead he was being forced closer to the ground with near crushing force and unable to breathe. Trying hard to break free he found himself panicking slightly through a combination of the suffocating darkness and the toxins this stuff was made from.

The creature had just about enough of this one always interrupting it, always trying to stop it from doing its job. Trying to smother the annoying creature with its tar it pressed down hard on Viral and hardened, attempting to crush him as well before Yumi started throwing insults again as well as attacking once more. The tar substance was slapped away gradually by the multiple attacks, forcing it to become less solid before spiking its form out. Now this one was becoming more annoying, probably the one to slap around for a bit since the other one was all punch while she was instead firing all sorts of stuff at it. [i]”Is ‘freak’ all you lower beings can come up with for an insult? How cute…”[/i] it spoke, grabbing Viral and lifting him up, [i]”Since you’re not worried about your energy, howabout using it instead you go use it elsewhere, away from here!”[/i] Even while Viral struggled in its grasp it threw back its form before throwing him hard, aiming to throw him over the dam and off the other side.
