Link eagerly moved to join in with the the other Seekers in piling on the stunned creature, he only regretted not having access to a stronger weapon to do it with. His stock was actually running dangerously low. He didn't have any notion of getting the bradistock back, that thing was going to fly off and explode somewhere the moment Stasis wore off. That left him with his sword, the wicked spear, the trident, the fall back weapons and...

Oh!

As Sakura spun her foot into the monsters back and Ms. Fortune spun her heads into its front Link moved in, the weighty Ro Cestus covering his fist. It was a perfect fit now, his new muscles capable of effectively wielding the ungainly thing without two handing it. He drew back his fist and, weaving between Gearlt ands Ace's strikes, plowed the creature right in the face with it as many times as he was able. He only stopped when the creature began to regain its balance, backflipping away over its blade as it spun it around again in an effort to get some breathing room. Then it was back to basics, the fight once again becoming about getting in, doing your bit, and getting out before you were punished for it. To this end he switched back to his Steel Sword, hoping that it survived long enough to put the creature down.

After a few hectic moments, though, the creature lost interest in them and went after easier prey. It jumped clear of them, blowing past everyone trying to keep it pinned down, and descended upon Junior and Rika. Rika tried in vain to deter the thing with a volley of cannon fire, but it was Delsin that ended up saving the boy. Maybe it had been because he was reconsidering Link's advice about not coming here, but the newcomer had been holding back for the entire battle. Now, though, he stepped forward chain in hand to defend the children and was [i]broken[/i] for it. How the man was even still alive Link didn't know. What he did know was that he was moving before the creature had even finished with Delsin, pursuing the creature with a desperate energy that was becoming dreadfully familiar to him. 

The mans sacrifice had bought the pair enough time to set up their retreat, Junior cleverly spreading goop on the ground for Rika to skate across even as she fired away. As the two avoided the creature Link skidded to a stop beside Delsin and pounded on his chest hard enough that a few flakes of his armor fell off into the sand. His hand came away with a friend heart, one he slammed down into the stricken conduit before moving in to once again run interference with the creature. This time, though, he was also able to skate around thanks to Juniors goop trail. 

He zoomed at the creature, slashing it as he moved past before turning on a dime and having another go. He didn't have time to get many of these passes in, though, on account of the Bowsers. Plural. The small horde charged forward as Link backed off, unwilling to get between [i]that [/i] and their target. Instead he retreated to a safer distance, fingering the Cryonis Rune on the Sheikah slate. If the creature tried to dodge out of the way of the rush or use its weapon to try and counter it he was going to try and block it with a pillar of ice.
