Viral was prepared to take the brunt of the attack if he had to, but luckily he had hit the creature dead on before it could injure him further. Keeping his strength focused he managed to tear into the creature’s body, holding it as he tried to slice through the creature further to kill it for good. Holding his cleaver tight in the flesh of the creature he snarled as it tried to escape his weapon, only briefly looking back when Takeshi threw himself in too. Surely they had it now, he just needed to find the strength to pull his blade right through it; however, when his own instincts kicked in he immediately backed off with his weapon, seeing it create a rather acidic liquid to get away. That was a nuisance, but it wasn’t going to get away now either way. Pressing on after the creature again he followed its trail, lagging behind Takeshi and Shu again as they fired on but not willing to fall too far behind. He was still able to keep going, he was not willing to let that creature go that easily.

Shu wasn’t prepared for the nasty stench the creature created, it was certainly pretty disturbing but he tried to shake off the nastiness and get prepared again. They were close to taking this thing down, whatever it was, and finally moving on if that was possible. He didn’t know if after that whether the creature was actually edible, but probably not if that stuff came from inside it. Once he was let off Takeshi he raced along beside him, looking to Takeshi when he gave him the command to fire at it before it could get any further along. “Ah! Okay! I get it! I get it good!” Dropping down on all fours momentarily he immediately bounced up, charging a very quick shot before throwing it at the retreating mass of dirt to try and blast the creature out of the ground.
