As Protean jumped over the two of them, Ira side stepped him as best she could, keeping to a sprint while Alessa kicked Protean in the snout. Ira's eyes widened, but she focused on running instead. Suddenly Protean announced three riddles, and Ira felt like she was being targeted. She didn't understand the intricacies of the English language quite well enough to solve riddles. Hell, she was bad at Japanese riddles, as problem solving like that wasn't her forte.

Her three teammates quickly announced the answers to the riddles, one after the other. Two of them made absolutely no sense to her, but the nickel one was reasonable enough. A play on phrasing, as far as she could tell. Protean announced she could stop running, and it took all Ira's strength to not collapse then and there. She turned as Protean began to change, bubbling and broiling until it was in the shape of a. . . Part bull part human? It seemed almost like an Ushi-oni but more human than bull. Regardless, it was quite intimidating. It seemed very familiar, like it was from an ancient culture.

Ira eyed Protean carefully as it announced that they were going to box. [color=#3068FF][b]"What are you supposed to be? Not an Ushi-oni I'm guessing, unless Decoy had input. A Lamassu?"[/b][/color] She said, uncertain. She was half hoping it would distract Protean long enough for her to catch her breath a little bit. Right now she desperately wished she had a more combat oriented power.
