Ace was a terrific monster hunter, and Hat Kid was the best support a group could ask for. Geralt's strength and precision complimented her speed and power. Whenever they engaged the Orphan at the same time, she felt like it didn't know what to do. Constantly it had to leap away, fleeing from it's attackers at any opportunity. Now it was just a matter of keeping the pressure on. [color=f49ac2]"We got it on the run!"[/color] She shouted. It was almost time to put this horrible scenario to an end. While everyone got scraped or clipped, the monster was getting the worst of every exchange. Rika's whale was destroyed, but Sakura was there to take advantage. [color=f49ac2]"EAT THIS!"[/color] She leapt up and brought her fists down on it's forehead. For once, the creature was forced to respect her strength, and staggered away. Sakura flew up from the impact and landed. [color=f49ac2]"You felt that one, didn't you?"[/color] She said. As she turned, expected to be covered by her teammate, she instead saw the mighty creature become a one armed artillery shell, disrupting the entire battlefield. From the flying debris erupted the monster, reaching out for her. [color=f49ac2][i]"Tch!"[/i][/color] Sakura said, narrowing her eyes and lowering herself into a crouch. Cat tail on end, she dodged nimbly to the side, and- [color=f49ac2][i]"Wha-uk!"[/i][/color] Her right arm was snatched. The sudden movement felt like it would pull her arm out of her socket. For an eternal moment she was face to face with the creature. Sakura's eyes were wide with fear and confusion. [color=f49ac2]"N-no!"[/color] She kicked her legs, and grabbed onto the creature's wrist. But the moment passed, and her world became a blur as she was slammed onto the ground. [color=f49ac2][i]"Ungh!"[/i][/color] She grunted, her eyes squeezing shut. Barely had her body stopped bouncing was she pulverized into the mud by the creature's massive weapon. A direct hit. [color=f49ac2][i]"UAAAH!"[/i][/color] Sakura screamed. She curled inward, spasming, before relaxing and slumping back into her Sakura shaped hole in the ground. Unconscious, her face was contorted in a grimace, her chest rising and falling with audible gasps and exhales. Needless to say, she was senseless to Bella's horror, the explosions that buffeted her clothes with wind, or the scrap and gunk that pooled around her impact point and got into her hair. If any healer's could monitor her vitals they would probably notice that even now she was subconsciously doing something. Her vitals were hovering, moving up and down at their low point, in sync with her breathing.
