[quote=@Nimda] *Grins and keeps moving through the emptiness, but shoots him with a grapple on the way out before pulling him with me* [/quote] Artorias: *swings my sword in the direction of your grapple, clanging off my blade with force* Shinji: shit! *within seconds, I am in front of you, catching you before we get too far away from Artorias' view* Okay... he's smarter than we anticipated. Artorias: *as mutely as a stone, I glare at you from my nothingess of a face, my armor shrouded in deep black and purple auras. A soudn emits from me, sounding like the rending of a soul, as several Amaranthine Hounds (A-Hounds) from the main wave descend upon us, thousands of howling beasts' clambering paws making their way toward us. One lunges toward your throat, another at your right ankle.* Shinji: *bashes away the two with a materialized sword in my hand, glowing with a bright blue hue. Several more crash into us, three of them targeting you with another three targeting me*
