Drive it back into the water, kill it from the fall or tear it to shreds. With these thoughts in mind Yumi charged headlong after the creature with no regard for her own safety, determined to kill the monster more than anything. Going into the air again with a mighty leap she chased after the beast, trying to tear it into shreds with her claws once more. Just as she was about to grab hold of the creature she felt her midsection be seized, gasping as pressure was applied and she was held back. Writing furiously she tried to claw at the limb holding onto her, desperate to break free and finish the fight. It was of little use however as she found the pressure growing even still, near choking the breath out of her. Trying to open her mouth to howl all she managed to get out was a meager whimper, trying again to claw herself free. Thinking she was going to be crushed she was confused when the pressure suddenly vanished, falling to the ground and gasping for breath as she tried to calm down. What had happened? Eyes widening seeing some other creature before her she shirked back slightly, not at all liking the feeling of the beast before her. Was... Was that Viral?

Aito had anticipated some resistance but not this. Had he known those cells were part of such a being he'd have been far more prepared than he was. With having used one vial of solution to break free too he just hoped there was enough to cleanse the lake, otherwise they were in some trouble. With Yumi keeping the creature at bay for the moment he dragged himself over to the machine, using it for support to pull himself to his feet. Releasing the clamps on the pipes he grabbed another vial out of his pockets, placing it in the line and sealing it back up. "Just three more, should do the trick..." Just as he was going to place the second vial down the ground shook, nearly knocking him off his feet as he held on to stay upright. One look back and his eyes widened in shock, not sure what it was he was looking at. It was Viral alright, but that form... How had he gotten into that form? It was inconvenient that he should change now yet there was little he could do, and he needed to take advantage of this. With the creature preoccupied for the moment Aito went through putting in the next vial, trying to get it done as quickly as possible.
