[sub][h3][center]Archie[/center][/h3][/sub][hr]The great beast had never been stalemated, or even exceeded in strength before. It panicked as it slowly lost ground, attempting to struggle out of Natalie's grip use its natural weapons rather than raw strength. Before it had the chance, it was pulled down once again and directly into powerful headbutt that made the giant see stars. The lizard stumbled backwards, one of its hands coming up to cradle his damaged and now dented snout, but it had little time to recover. Natalie threw a wild punch that caused the beast's feet to leave the ground.

It twisted in the direction the punch had been thrown, propelling it backwards some. As it turned, eight hundred pounds of pure muscle sailed through the air like a runaway train and collided with Natalie. As the beast had turned and fell it's enormous tail had careened into the woman as collateral. The blow hadn't been on purpose, as thus the force propelled the petite girl more than it crumpled her, but its weight alone qualified it as more than a glancing blow. She sailed through the air in Lynn's direction, now a third projectile sent the poor girl's way.

Archie hit the ground with a groan, the front half of its body having flown through the double doors of the kitchen but not yet entirely inside it. It took a moment to heave its massive body upright again, and stood on shakier legs than before. As it turned to face the two again, it sported a fist sized indent on the left side of it's chest to match the crumple on its snout. It shook its upper body, and violently yanked its shoulder on the its injured side back. There were a few sickening crunches, and the beast feel to its knee, but the warping on its chest had disappeared. It was healing, but the process was obviously taxing and somewhat painful. It would slow the goliath down, but not for long.[hr]
