The blow never connected. The shaft became slick, its strike stopped by the strength in merely one of the tongues, greying like mould. And then came the pain. A powerful, desiccating arm, bleeding drops of fading jade from splinter-filled wounds, lashed out in a sudden, uncaring motion. Knuckles slammed against Natsume's body, and she flew. Slapped away, a pest that the beast spared no care for.

It kept charging.

Chugging pistons shrieked and groaned as it stomped rapidly through the hall. Earth plodded and pattered against wood. Every eye, slick and jittering, shone their eerie golden light upon Tsubaki. Yuuhei, everyone else, everything else ... they were nothing to the long-eared creature. Black ooze sloshed and squeezed. Its ever-shifting torso launched something emerging from its body. A mass of black, a tentacled appendage. It cracked through the air with a boom.

It sought to grab Tsubaki.

Cogs and gears screamed in exertion.

The tentacle rapidly shot towards her waist.
