Archorus' thrusters were able to barely avoid the uppercut, only the flame aura grazing its chest, as it prepares its next move. Titanica growls as she prepares to issue her next offensive against the opponent, only to pause briefly as a large piece of ice begins to form on its shoulder where its left launcher had originally been. It appears this mech is capable of morphing it's own body parts through ice... although it shouldn't be surprising coming from a Vassal that literally manipulates this matter. Yet the fire-breathing kaiju wasn't going to let her finish her transforming into whatever it's going to do as she charges at Archorus, claws primed and her maw ablaze. But before Titanica could reach the vassal, the opponent ripped a large piece of ice from her shoulder and used it to swing at her like a bat. Yet the organic Vassal figured out what she was doing as soon as she heard the audible snap, and with quick thinking she lowered her head towards her chest raised her thick arm to block the swing. She could feel the impact slamming against her thick arms and while it did stall her briefly, it allowed the kaiju to take a quick peak at her surroundings... more specifically Archorus' side thrusters and the cliffside. If she can disable Archorus' thrusters and push her off the edge, not only will the mech be slowed down significantly, but considering she isn't capable of creating jet fuel and thrusters, she might as fall to her "doom". Even if one is disabled, the other will be unable to produce the velocity it needs to fly effectively. Only one way to find out. As Archorus readied the same ice bludgeon to strike at Henry by stretching towards him, Titanica took this opportunity to rush forward at the distracted Vassal and grabs hold of one of the thrusters with her massive clawed hands. Using all the strength she has, she attempts to rip it off with such power, it caused her to twirl back a direct 180 degrees within a mere second. Even if she didn't rip it completely, her tail was ready to meet the rival Vassal's metallic head at near-crack whip speeds. It's seems assuringly that it'll cause the mech more than simply some minor paint-chipping if it connects.

He halts his advance just to take a glance at the monster swimming casually without a single care, despite it being roughly where Saef and his men are. What was it doing here? Why is it heading to the surface? Surely there were lots of questions regarding this creature's existence and yet it seems to post little "threat" to them. [b][color=fff200][i]"I bet that's Juno waking up from a nap of her's or something..."[/i][/color][/b] the Archangel jokes to himself as he continues watching it rise to the surface. Yet this monster was the least of his problems that he'll face today. Suddenly, he hears a massive titanic roar bellowing nearby, the same sound that he heard just minutes earlier. But before he can see where it can be coming, he sees a volley of a black oily substance coming straight towards him. He was taken briefly off guard by what was coming, but alas it didn't mean he wasn't prepared. So as the substance began to engulf him, Lucifus stretched his wings to issue a Stellar Repulse to repel the black substance from completely blocking his view, creating a bubble of clean water space for him to travel in. Yet it barely gave him any sight advantage at the situation. [b][color=fff200][i]"Just what kind of cursed substance is this...?"[/i][/color][/b] he monologues to himself again as he makes a quick dash upwards to escape it. Once he reached the right depth, he looks down at the black oil oozing throughout his nearby location. Lucifus can hardly see anything that's going on due to the thickness of the oil, but yet notices a rapid current shift within the oily substance. That can only mean one thing... that monster was on the move. And it was also huge. Yet within it... a shiny glint can be vaguely seen illuminating from the blackness. The archangel wasn't sure on what it was exactly, but he takes a blind guess. [b][color=fff200][i]"If it has what I think it has... then the search may be near its end."[/i][/color][/b] However, instead of directly attacking the monster, it decides to follow it from a safe distance, trying to figure out a good time to attack the monster. Perhaps he should strike when it fully reveals itself... or wait for reinforcements to weaken it. Either way, he's prepared to strike when need be and is standing by for a sign. [hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/76evEBT.png[/img][/center] [@KoL] [hr] Tina also notices the black substance rushing towards her and immediately does Unit-T detect a massive signature approaching the middle of the city. Estimates claim that this beast was 100 meters long and that it has a mass similar to both a shark and a whale, yet it was something far more sinister than simply a peaceful filter-feeding creature. And yet the scans also detect something illuminating from the creature. While it can't fully detect what was inside, the glow pattern seemed to be more ovular than spherical in shape. Like Lucifus, Tina also concludes that the staff was inside that beast and that there was only one way to get it out. Instead of retreating, Unit-T holds its ground as it literally faces the direction of where the beast is coming from. It seemed foolish for a small mech of its stature to go up against as massive 100-meter long beast that's ready to swallow you up in one massive gulp. Yet Unit-T's engagement with the vassal Taura may prove otherwise... as Unit-T presses a big red button. [b][color=f49ac2]"M-Maximum Growth Engagement... Go."[/color][/b] With that, Unit-T begins to slowly grow in size, growing continuously until becoming a massive 50 meters in height. Even though it was only half as big as the monster it's going to face, it definitely shifts the tide of battle from simply running away to actually being able to put up a fight. But one thing's still certain... this is going to be one hellova battle to engage in. The mech readies the shock gauntlets as it opens its chest-flaps to reveal a large triple-maser cannon, primed and ready to shoot. As soon as the monster was in range, the mech fires in its direction, hoping it would damage the creature enough before preparing to escape once it gets close.
