He ducked out of the way of the reaching arm of a husked farmhand as he loaded it into the slinger. Although it was of unfamiliar make, Cadet could easily tell what it was: an explosive. A bomb of this size would do very little if any damage to the Brachydios' hide, but it would come in handy in other ways - and soon. When the Witcher asked how to kill the monster, the Cadet couldn't help but bark out a short laugh even in the tense situation (or maybe because of it). Just like every other monster he knew, the tried and true method was "hit it until it dies," but, that's definitely not the information the other man was looking for. [color=salmon]"Attacking it's legs might make it fall, and it's head and arms get really weak when they're damaged or broken!"[/color] He paused to bash another husk with his shield, sending it toppling into a few others of it's kind. [color=salmon]"'Course, that's where all it's slime is, so!"[/color] Truly, the Brachydios was a dangerous beast. Feeding info to Geralt was a little surreal for Cadet, as while he was well used to fighting alongside white-haired veterans, it was usually himself that was asking the questions. That thought brought a little cheeky grin to his face, but before he could think of anything else to say about the monster in front of them, a 'monster' of sorts came flying from behind. The sight of the massive Bowser soaring through the air and becoming [i]even more massive[/i] as he did so was quite the experience. Ace Cadet would have whooped in excitement if there weren't a sudden blast of flames headed his way. He brought his arms up in time to avoid getting burned, but his fancy new gauntlets and the edges of his armor were singed. [color=salmon]"Hey![/color] Cadet shouted. Even if fire like that wouldn't kill him, a little warning would have been nice. As he shook off the embers he had a mind to tell the Koopa King exactly that, but when he looked over what he saw was a bruised face (and likely ego) surrounded by the Brachydios' volatile slime. [color=salmon][i]"Hey![/i] The [i]slime - ![/i]"[/color] [i]Boom![/i] Well, he warned them. He hoped that since apparently Bowser had some kind of flame-element to him, the explosions would do less damage to him than the Brute Wyvern's pummeling did. Still, just a quick glance between the two giants and he could tell the Brachydios was gearing up for round two with the King. With a slight nod to Geralt and Euden, Ace Cadet announced, [color=salmon]"I'm gonna draw it's attention!"[/color] He took off toward the monster's flank, trying to avoid the husks as not to slow down, but cutting his way through any that got too close. Hopefully if he could distract it, it would give Bowser time to regroup and the other two an opening to close in on it's weak points. Once close enough, the Cadet aimed the slinger on his arm and fired off the grapeshot the Witcher had given him, launching the thing at the Brachydios' face.
