Shu hoped he had managed to stop Viral from taking too much damage and was not hurting too much, he had tried to come in as fast as he could without ending up fumbling at the end and missing completely. Picking himself up after the kick he watched the creature go flying into a bunch of trees, wriggling around before it got back up again. They had to get it now after all that, surely it would be a worthy meal if they managed to catch it, unless it turned out to be poisonous. When the creature decided to spit out that nasty gunk again Shu quickly took to the treetops, scattering up one before he quickly started to leap after the creature when he saw Viral was in pursuit too. Shu didn’t know what the rush was for with Viral, maybe he did feel the need to kill it too or maybe he wanted revenge; after all, the attack that Viral received did look quite painful.

Viral felt like he had been stabbed many times but had kept a steady grip of his blade, resulting in many wounds but not being disarmed. His abilities weren’t working, he hadn’t recovered his energy enough to use them at night so even coming up with a shield wasn’t going to help him; however, lucky for him Shu had kicked the creature away with great power. Looking to him briefly he growled lowly as his eyes shifted to the creature as it wriggled around, his eyes slowly shifting to himself. He had sustained a lot of injury no thanks to Takeshi, but now wasn’t the time to worry about that; he had to kill this thing, even if it wasn’t going to yield enough food for everyone. Jumping behind a tree when it tried to surprise attack them with more of that mucus he immediately ran after the creature once he saw it take to the ground. There was no way he was going to let it get away with what it did to him and with Takeshi lagging behind it wasn’t as if anybody else other than Shu was going to help. Sprinting after it he jumped to the side when he noticed Shu was on its tail in the trees, giving the kid some distance before watching him make a leap for the creature, trying to pin it before he immediately leaping in himself and slashing down his blade once again.
