[@AzureKnight] [quote]"Everyone, be careful! Those arrow bolts are laced with poison!" She warned.[/quote] "Poison?!" Lunatea cocked her head towards the jorogumo. [i]Tch, of course they would lace their arrows with poison! Everyone who's fought off arachnids knows just how deadly they can be![/i] Indeed, she had faced off against one in one of her ventures to the many ruins she visited as part of her research. It really stemmed from a simple, silly mistake. She believed she was stealing her prey, a human boy she met while in said ruins. Apparently he was there as part of his coming-of-age ritual, a tradition from his village. In the end, she and the boy succumbed to the poison, and she only got out of the place alive because the boy asked the arachne to spare her. She never saw the boy after. If she had to guess, he had become the arachne's husband, just like the arachne wanted. She could only hope that the poison these humans used was not as potent as hers. [@PaulHaynek] The fighting continued, Sorae and the taskforce gaining ground with seemingly little effort. Some of the bandits began to flee, knowing that they had not the ability to stand not only against yokai, but a renowned warrior of the Tokinomiya Clan as well. Seeing some of the humans fleeing brought a smile to the wererabbit's face. [i]Finally! Some sense! Just flee if you know you're outmatched![/i] That smile disappeared the moment Sorae collapsed to the ground. "Sorae!" She charged up a tornado to blow away the humans surrounding her but one of them fired their arm crossbows at her, forcing her to cancel the spell to dodge. Another one then charged at her location, drawing his battle sickles. Thankfully, Atsuha was there to pick up the slack, her sakura blossoms buying time for the now immobilized human warrior. [quote]"My sister and I will handle these cretins! Luna-chan, please save Sorae-san!!"[/quote] "Got it!" Lunatea nodded, letting her take on the sickle wielders. Her gaze then landed on the crossbow-wielder. He was reloading his weapon, no doubt planning to fire it at her again. [i]I won't let you![/i] Lunatea dashed forward, stopping right in front of the man, who was now in full panic mode. [i]Too slow![/i] She launched a swift spinning kick with her right foot, hitting him right on the head. Knocking him out in an instant. Even though she had no combat training whatsoever, she was still a wererabbit. And like all wererabbits, she had exceptional strength in her legs. [i]The way's open! Now's my chance![/i] She rushed towards the fallen warrior, snatching her up without listening to her protests. And then, before the humans could attack her, she jumped upwards, once again utilizing the strength her leg muscles possessed. And then, once they were in mid-air, she prayed. "O Sylph! By your grace, grant us a safe landing!" With her dress blowing in the wind, the wererabbit slowed her descent, landing somewhat away from the fighting, giving her the space she needed to administer her treatment. "O Undine! Wash away the poison from this woman!" She held both hands near the wound, her palm gently glowing with the light of restoration. A/N: Yes, the arachne thought Lunatea was after the boy because she kept flashing her undies to him. [@AzureKnight]
