Fighting these three wasn't going to happen, they were unlike anything it had tried to eat before. It was used to prey fighting back, it had some scars, yet nothing hit as hard as these things or took off a limb. The only way it would get a meal now was by ambushing one of them and to do that it had to flee. After being swatted aside like a meager fly the creature scurried away on the forest floor in a desperate attempt to get some distance. Behind it the sound of branches bending and creaking beneath Shu's weight alerted it to his presence, the sound of footfalls and leaves crunching telling it the others were in pursuit as well. One of them backed off after a short pursuit and it became apparent why as the small one jumped down from above, trying no doubt to strike it again. Turning in mid stride the creature spewed forth a mass of the mucus, catching the small one in mid-air and pining him to a tree with it. Twisting its body then to avoid Viral's cleaver it doubled back after Shu, teeth barred as it tried to bury them into his shoulder. Instead the creature was again struck in the side of the head, stumbling before flying off as it was struck a second time.

"Keep your filthy mouth away from him you freak!" Takeshi screamed, trembling even as he knocked the creature away. Ignoring it as it tumbled across the ground he turned to his brother, face paled as his hands tore into the mucus to free Shu. It felt absolutely disgusting in his fingers and the smell was terrible but he tore away regardless while it slowly hardened, managing to break away enough for Shu to be free. Coughing as the disgusting odor hit his nose he covered it with his forearm, glaring at the creature as it was gathering itself back up. "Hungry you bastard? Eat this!" Raising up his arm he fired off a Ki blast at its head that managed to connect, though the creature's hide proved to be stronger than expected as hairs were burned but it remained mostly unharmed. Gritting his teeth he fired off a second that was avoided, glaring after the monster as it began scurrying away again. Giving a quick glance to Shu he nodded his head in the direction of the beast, putting on a smile before giving chase, giving Viral a quick glance along the way as well. "Hurry up! We're killing that thing!"

Now its face felt burned, and to top that off its body was terribly sore from being knocked around so much. The creature wasn't so dim as to try and fight despite its anger though, it had a way to kill these things and it would. Weaving in and out of the trees so no one had a clear shot at it the creature surged forward, the woods beginning to thin slightly as the terrain turned flatter. It seemed they were heading back out into the fields, though this time several plateaus dotted the horizon and broke the otherwise flat area. More notably still was the faint glow in the distance at the base of one such structure, and it was towards this glow the creature was racing. It knew this area well, it regularly preyed on those who lived here, and so it could use this to its advantage.
