	The creature shrieked, and Natalia found her eyes glued to the encounter. The thing began to ascend into it's maze of webs above. It would only be a matter of time before it reached them. It seemed to want to put her between itself and the flames someone had created. Unfortunate. They had to act quickly. Fortunately, the fantasy dwarf had used his technology to lift her Powered Armor onto it's back. Hidden amongst the surface of nooks, crannies, and smooth steel plating, there was the activation switch. 

	She began to climb on, but it became obvious that even her "good" leg was nothing more than dead weight. Despite her vulnerability and the fact a horrific creature was bearing down on all them, Natalia hadn't even begun to break a sweat. Was it sheer courage? Perhaps, in a twisted kind of way. Truth be told, Natalia did feel fear, but it was dulled, and rarely manifested on her face. She also felt as if she was still in relative control of the situation. As long as she remained calm, she could get inside the suit. Having briefly evaluated the capabilities of the creature, her Powered Armor could match it's strength, if not surpass it. 

	Another green wall of energy appeared. This time, it had interposed itself between the Powered Armor and the encroaching creature. The elf woman from earlier seemed to be fond of that trick.

	With the help of Leon pushing her from behind, Natalia could crawl ontop of her suits back. Calmly she reached her fingers into a hidden crevice and pressed a button. The armor beneath her suddenly split open, a dividing itself and two. Natalia fell face first inside as if she was being devoured by the machine. Using her waist to maneuver her legs into a better position, she began to activate her Powered Armor. It had been a while since a manual start up was necessary, but Natalia remembered the way to do it perfectly.

	The inside of the machine was dark and complicated, but as Natalia began to quickly and mechanically bring her mechanism to life, her nimble fingers dashing expertly from one switch, to one panel, to another, the thing began to whir, click and hum. Only a few more moments, she thought. A few seconds more.

	De'kae was expecting the thing to come after her for revenge, but fortunately yet another ally had lit a fire. They could put it out later, right? Either way, the archer was safe and the thing had scattered to it's webs above. It was horrible, chilling thing to watch, and the young elf withered underneath the woman's glare of pure malice and anger. Nonetheless, she pushed forward, pursuing the monster as it fled on the ceiling. She had to keep in range. If it got too far away, she wouldn't be able to help. Her neck craned upward, Kay galloped horizontally, keeping her eyes on the beast. The shield she had created to protect Katelin had since vanished. The swords woman did not look wounded. Already Kay was getting the sense that the swords woman was some kind of fearless immortal warrior who felt no pain. If she was hurt though, Kay would be able to heal her after the battle. Usually her healing took too long in the heat of battle.

	[color=39b54a]"Careful!" [/color]She yelled, as if the people around her needed to be reminded not to throw away their lives.

	As she moved along, she heard the sound of what might have been someone harrumping. Whirling around she spotted the shirtles muscle bound man observing the battle. Eyes wide, she and him made brief eye contact. With a glance, she pleaded for him to help. Whether or not he would respond was up to him, Kay couldn't spare a moment more. Following the beast, it began to drop down. It had gained some distance on her, but Kay had managed to stay in range. Approaching the legless woman and her golem, she extended both hands outward and created a large wall between Natalia, Leon, and the monster. As long as she could, Kay would create and recreate sections of the wall to prevent the creature from easily maneuvering around it. Perhaps it could just break through with a concentrated effort, but hopefully that would take enough time for whatever that woman was doing with her golem to finish. She imagined the thing would stand up and start to fight any second now. Either way, she began to panic.

	[color=39b54a]"Just get her out of there!"[/color] She shouted, voice cracking.
