[hr]Place(s): Ruined City
Time: Feb 23rd, 2057 - Late Afternoon
Interaction(s): Team Ajax-Cerise-Lysandra-Vincent
[hr]Things had suddenly went from cautiously calm to all-out chaos all in the span of a few minutes. Cerise had paused just as Ajax suddenly seemed to sense something. At first, she wasn't entirely sure, but upon seeing that Ajax was also having a reaction, she quickly decided that something was indeed off. As Lys called out for someone to spot for her, Cerise immediately moved to action. [color=#DE3163]"Got it, Lys! I'm going to a high ground!"[/color] A moment later, Cerise's eyes glowed bright red as she became engulfed in shadows, disappearing from sight. Not long after that, she reappeared fully. It took her several 'jumps' using her power, but she had now managed to perch herself on top of a tall, half ruined bell tower about 30 meters high from the ground.

There, crouched with Lariat stabilized on one corner of the building, it was not difficult for Cerise to reorient herself; not with the faint tremors and collapsed buildings that she can clearly spot about 500 meters away from where she and the rest of her team were. Cerise's eyes opened wide from surprise. At such a long distance, it was still not very clear with the debris and dusts from the collapsing building partially concealing it, and yet it was also very obvious that the creature must be huge and powerful to be able to do what it was doing. [color=#DE3163][i]Is that a... No... Please, don't be one of those.[/i][/color] It was not the first time Cerise had encountered such a creature before, and it was not difficult for her to guess what it possibly was. Fearing the worst, she regardless started to prepare Lariat, aiming down the scope to get a better look at the creature.

And as it soon became clear to her that her hunch was right, the creature's massive roar all but confirmed what it was. [color=#DE3163][i]No. No no no no no! Not now of all time![/i][/color] Through her scope, she were also able to confirm that the creature was very close to where the other team were. The situation was quickly going critical. She leaned out of the tower and just as she was about to shout, she heard Lys already shouting and confirming it to the rest of the team. She then shouted her own words to them. [color=#DE3163]"YES, I SAW IT! LYS, AJAX, VINCENT, GO! I'LL FIRE AT IT FROM HERE!"[/color]

And with that, Cerise returned to looking through Lariat's scope, sight on the massive 15 meters tall creature. Her hands were shaking, from the intensity of the situation, the danger involved, and out of fear for the lives of her comrades that were in direct path of the creature. She took a deep breath just to calm her nerves down. [color=#DE3163][i]About 500 meters... Wind speed... Favorable. Direction... Non issue. Yes. You can do this, Cerise. You have to![/i][/color] 500 meters in favorable conditions, way within Lariat's capability to deal serious damage... At least, that would be the case if the target had been a thrall, an infernal, or other such enemies. A Tsar Bomba? It will take a LOT of ammo to bring it down. She probably doesn't even have enough ammo with her to do so... But then again she was not alone. No, all she needed to do was to focus on doing her part as one of the Commune's sharpshooters, helping her comrades as much as she can from long distance; allowing her to not be a burden that needed protecting.

[color=#DE3163]".... Alright. Let's do this."[/color] She breathed in and out deeply once more, and then she was calm and focused. She said nothing more. Instead, in place of her voice were the booming sounds of Lariat's roars, the noise of rifle bolt being cocked after each roar, and the swishing of bullets flying through the air as each one impacted on the gigantic target threatening her comrades.
