[hr][color=#DE3163][center][h3]Victorious Retreat[/h3][/center][/color]
[center]Ruined City | Late Afternoon[/center]

Cerise kept on shooting at the Tsar Bomba as her comrades retreated away from the massive creature. Even as the gigantic grime struggled to reform, the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6Vj40bdbho]booming sound[/url] of Lariat's shots remained echoing through the air. After the first few hasty shots, Cerise shifted her aim to specifically target the likely weak points of the Tsar bomba, namely the eyes and mouth, and it had worked wonders. [color=#DE3163][i]Six..... Five..... Four.....[/i][/color] Still, Cerise knew she cannot kept her attack going for much longer. Only four bullets remained until she ran out of ammunition. But then again, the objective was not to try to bring down the Tsar Bomba, but merely to stop it to allow everyone to get to safety. And that objective, it seemed, was looking right on track to be successfully fulfilled.

Cerise took a deep breath in and out, and one more bullet flew out of Lariat's muzzle, landing cleanly and piercing one of the creature's eyes just as it almost finished to reform it. This earned her a pained bellow from the gigantic creature as it nonetheless continued attempting to reform. It also gave her the time to shift her focus to check if her comrades had managed to sufficiently retreat, and upon doing so Cerise realized that such was indeed the case. The fighting retreat had, in effect, been a success. She relaxed at once, letting a big breath out. [color=#DE3163][i]Thank goodness...[/i][/color]

She stopped firing after that, there was no more need for it after all, and further attacks might end up attracting the Tsar Bomba's attention again. She retreated from the tower, quickly heading down by a combination of climbing and using her blood powers to teleport around. Soon enough, she rendezvoused with the others back on the ground, greeting them all with a big relieved smile. Whether or not the other team had found the mistle was not something she currently cared much about. It was secondary next to the safety of her comrades.
