Leaving out the monsters and cultists the three combatants were all people the twins knew. Though the one that was a surprise was Abigail. She had been one of the Beacon girls to go missing. While Janet had not known the girl all that well it did afford her at least some knowledge of what they were going up against. Thanks to Aurelio they also knew that she was brainwashed by the Bates, an issue that the reforged girls could potentially resolve with their new Specs. That whole circumstance she had intimate familiarity with. Simply focusing on that though would not do. It was clear that their allies were getting focused pretty hard at the moment. Thankfully there were two of them. With a simple motion Janet pointed her sister to assist Lily. They would keep in contact psychically between the four of them. [color=khaki][i]We got your back. Jenna, try and cleanse Abigail. Isolate her at least.[/i][/color] Breaking away Janet cast a defense spell on Lily to shield her from incoming debris. That was merely a stop gap to allow Jenna to work on Abigail. Luckily it didn't require getting close to the gravity well and also becoming trapped. Given all the other baddies around though it would probably do well to deter them as well. Lance leveled Jenna first cast a spell to strip away at the dark magic surrounding Abigail. Hopefully having weakened Regina's grip Jenna switched to using her own Psychic abilities to free her friend. In the past Justine had gotten around the Spark that Beacon had given Janet. It was a particular that, since their use of the Red Coin, they'd spent a little time learning about. While not having the magical prowess as some psychics there were situations like this were they could try and use other facets. In this case her Reinforcement spec to attempt to bolster the Spark within Abigail in tandem with Psychic to undo the brainwashing. While that was happening Janet rushed to the defense of Aurelio. She could put a barrier up around her friend, but at the moment she had the element of surprise. Boosting her own speed she ran her lance past one cultist, aiming at one just further while clothes lining a second. [color=khaki]"Am I interrupting?"[/color] Not waiting for a response she continued on into the midst of the cultists to disrupt their focus. The reach of the lance covered a wide swath around her so staying out of range was more of a task than one might expect from a melee weapon.

Worse they came in so many varieties and scales that one never really knew if they were dealing with the ones that are out to make things difficult or the one that wanted to consume the universe. Most often it never got far enough to know one way or the other. Unfortunately on this occasion the Earth girl had garnered the attention of a horror that felt the need to reach back out. Not in kind, as the response was far and away more devastating. Having a thing speak to her through her mind was nothing new to Shannon. That was all well and good. After all sometimes a being such as thins will just go on and on without really doing much at all. Soth didn't do something expected. Seeing or being shown terrible things was not preparation for the tidal wave of suffering that was dropped on the girl. Even if she had the fortitude to ignore the things in her minds eye there was just so much of it that there was nowhere else to turn to get away. Even when the imagery stopped and the voice left there was barely the faculties to notice a monster had run into and ensnared her. Tumbling and engulfed the realization of what had happened didn't really kick in until the creature started trying to tear her apart with its teeth. Touch was about the only sense available in the pitch black. The makeup of the thing surrounding Shannon definitely felt like tar. Having an extensive geological knowledge of terra firma there was little doubt in her mind that where she she was not going to be able to struggle her way out of this. Tar pits were essentially natures death traps that once you fell in you weren't getting out. So already being dead center of a living thing of tar there was no amount of leverage to free herself. That did not mean she was entirely out of options though. [color=saddlebrown][i]We'll see who eats who first.[/i][/color] Completely unaware of what Rebecca was doing outside the dirt under the Tar Baby shifted, pulling whatever legs it may still have out from under it. The earth didn't stop at that though as the earth rolled up and over the inky black monster. Over and over the ground underneath shifted up and over sucking both the girl and its prey deeper into the earth. Once sufficiently buried that the creature wasn't going to just be able to jump out the ground would began to swirl while continuing to overturn like a cement mixer. While Shannon had no way to get out of the tar she wasn't the only thing that would stick to it. Assuming nothing stopped her she would turn this ball of tar into clods of asphalt as it would become clods of dried up dirt and tar.
