The creature was ravenous, everything in the area had run away or hidden and it had yet to eat all day. It had no idea what these three were and it cared little, they seemed like food and that's what mattered at this moment. Bearing down on Viral it swung two of its many limbs at him and tried pinning him to the ground, managing to do so as it leaned in attempting to take a bite of him. It came dangerously close to succeeding as well until something grabbed the back of its head, yanking it back and forcing it to release its catch. Howling angrily as it was pulled back it swung its body side to side to try and rid itself of the attacker, unsuccessfully reaching up with its too short arms to try and pry Shu off of itself. Shaking itself again the creature turned towards a nearby tree and lowered its body before charging ahead in an attempt to slam Shu between itself and the tree, finding only its own body hitting the trunk as he had moved. Giving itself a shake to regain its senses it locked its eyes on Shu now, hissing and rearing up on its hind legs threateningly before lunging forward at him. 

Takeshi was trying to move but his legs wouldn't listen to him. Instead he remained firmly planted where he was on the ground, staring slack jawed at the giant bug now assailing his brother and friend. Watching as Shu jumped onto the creature and wrestled it away from Viral he felt mighty ashamed of himself for not being able to do the same thing; little Shu, afraid of his own shadow was fighting and here he was, sitting here trembling. Fighting to get himself moving he managed to just get to his feet as the creature slammed itself into a tree to try and squash Shu, watching as it set its sights on his brother instead. Was it just ignoring him now? Was he really that sorry that it wasn't going to come after him? Trembling a bit still Takeshi looked around and found another sizable rock, picking it up and cocking back his arm, letting the stone fly as the creature lunged for Shu, striking it in the side of its head and causing it to stumble. "Y-You keep away from him, freak!" he shouted, gasping as it turned its sights on him and began racing in his direction instead. Again he froze up, doing little more than put up his arms to shield himself.
