Makoto was one such example, able to take the shot of energy unleashed from Penny's Gauss discharge and manipulate the nearly unstoppable force with an instant gravity well, speeding it up so that it hit the Gorelion pinning Penny. Aided by Mariette redirecting projectiles through her portals, the monster was swiftly slain by the shot piercing it. As a result, the tongue released its grip on Penny, and the robotic monster girl stretched her arms out, wiping herself of the beast's saliva.

But it was my shot, so technically I got the kill.”[/u][/b][/color] Amber made a swift turn with Earth Bastion towards the west, and rammed right into the Gorelion that directly attacked the ship. However, despite the great mass of the ship, it was stopped by the sheer strength of the single Gorelion, letting out a bloodcurdling roar as it pushed with all it's might. Then, Amber felt how the ship slightly rose on the left side; the abomination was soon going to tip the entire vehicle over. [hider=Credens Justitiam][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKTW4Qhd42w[/youtube][/hider] In that critical moment, Alicia unleashed the full potential of her magic, and launched a great beam of light that banished the darkness, and burned the pushing Gorelion; it growled in anguish, but soon enough, it was reduced to but a pile of ash, smited by brilliant light. The beam then swept over to the closest target now that the west was cleared, which was a lone gorelion on the north, annihilating it. And then, it aimed for the the Gorelion on the deck. However, it ended up hitting the portal Mariette created to protect Libby; the beast's pounding was rendered useless as it clawed and struck at the ground, but the portal was shattered by Alicia's attack coming from the other side. Fortunately, with Scout's help and as Alicia squeezed in a few more seconds of the beam before it turned too taxing on her mana reserves, the two managed to also destroy the Gorelion on the deck, turned to a big, crusty chunk of half-burned carcass. [color=skyblue]"Yeah! Eat it!"[/color] It looked as if it was about to fall on Libby, but the magical girl rolled away in a silly fashion. "Holey moley guacamoley smoley!" Shade did not manage to free herself from the prone Gorelion with the slam on the tongue, but managed to buy a bit more time before she would be dragged into the horrific monster's gaping maw from the beast reeling in addition to Mariette also peppering this beast with redirected projectiles. But then, she would be met with a rescue, and from the most unlikely of circumstances. [hider=A Human Bullet][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY9JNrQCY5M[/youtube][/hider] Eli came blasting out of the Earth Bastion's cannon, and cut through the beast in glorious fashion; like a cannonball fitted with sharp blades, it easily sliced the beast, causing black blood to rain over Shade. Then, Eli splatted hard against the ground like a water balloon; Eli now felt a pain equivalent to having all her bones broken, and as a result could not move, unable to keep her form consistent as she slowly spread into a puddle. But, she was successful in slaying the Gorelion, and it released Shade. Healing magic will be required for the both of them to recover. Anaya kept shooting at the only Gorelion left, but was snatched by a tongue. Helga, now turned absolutely furious, seemed to turn into a full monster; she developed scales on her skin, a muscular lizard tail, and a dragon-like snout. She roared like a mythic being, and charged into the fray by jumping off the deck, her claws now strong enough to rend the final monster into pieces. By the end of it, she was coated in black blood, her breathing hard, and she looked towards an alarmed Anaya as she recovered and stood up, stepping towards her with a slouched figure, long claws dragging behind her. [color=FF4F76]"Umm, Helga?"[/color]
