Weiyuan hadn’t really been interested in the market. However, when gunshots had gone off, he’d felt obligated to at least make sure everyone was OK. The good news was, at a glance, everyone he knew still seemed OK… for the moment. The bad news was that everything was going to hell. Literally. People were on fire.

Something told him that was Chu’s fault.

He took stock of the situation as best he could. Most of the attackers seemed to have been dealt with before he got there or as he arrived. There was one left, and it was huge.

Sonam stood between it and the crowd and kept blasting it with dense pockets of air, but these were not strong enough to push the thing back or knock it off balance. [color=white]”This one isn’t stopping!”[/color] she yelled out over the commotion. She would move back with every step forward it took and continue hurling air at it in an attempt to at least slow it down.

Shouldn’t he do something? [i]Could[/i] he do something? He saw someone he vaguely recognized as one of the newer arrivals take aim. Maybe it would be taken out of his hands…

At the call of the woman from the Underground, Ziotea’s gaze snapped over to her, then to the massive creature she was facing.  Ziotea lifted her pistol and took aim carefully. She squeezed the trigger twice in rapid succession, aiming at the thing’s head.

The first bullet split its jaw open as it tore through the muscles in the cheek. The second entered through the back of the skull, exited through the left eye socket and then buried itself into a nearby building. However, despite the damage it continued onward. In fact, it seemed angrier and suddenly charged toward Sonam without warning. The airbender managed to duck out of the way just as it barreled past her and into the still dispersing crowd.

By now, the guards of the caravan had shouldered their rifles, but Tan-ming yelled for them not to shoot. [color=white]”You’re going to hit someone!”[/color]

Of course it hadn’t worked. That would have been too easy. To his horror, the now mangled psychopath seemed even more inclined to do damage and, worse, the guards had just been told to not do anything about it. For good reason, but that still left everyone in a very precarious situation.

Despite knowing he couldn’t do much, he felt obligated to help. The crowd parted around the rampaging… [i]thing[/i]. With its one eye it would take just a little longer than normal to pick which bit of the crowd it wanted to follow. That moment of hesitation would be filled by a clump of sand pelting it in the face. It didn’t do anything, of course. It wasn’t a sand-blast thrown by a bender. Well, it [i]was[/i] thrown and it [i]was[/i] by a bender, technically. However, it had been thrown the old-fashioned way.

Weiyuan, unfortunately, had managed to successfully make himself the thing’s target. He took a shaky step backwards. Run. When you were in danger, you ran. He was in danger. Why wouldn’t his legs move anymore? It was now barreling in his direction and suddenly he was just frozen.

Then, as the hulk came into range of him, he suddenly ducked forward with a sudden burst of agility, ripping the sand out from under its foot as he did so, hoping to trip it up.

[color=f1c231]“I’m so tired…”[/color] he muttered under his breath as he eyed the monstrosity. He really needed to stop waking up to this shit. He quickly ran through the slideshow of recent memories from before the switch and his attention was drawn to the fresh hole in the thing’s head. He had no idea what was going on, but whatever it was was now far removed enough from human that it was more important to focus on ending the threat than anything else.

He glanced at the sand balled around his fist from his little maneuver a moment ago. It would have to do. He darted forward as the thing turned around to find him and at a closer range than he was really comfortable with, he blasted the sand into its missing eye. Sand was about as close to water as dry earth got, so in theory it would seep into every little opening possible.

Then he’d just have to harden it and twist it around.

It would either work, or he’d be really upset with himself for going for such a risky play.

Sand poured into every crevice, sticking to the walls and mixing with blood bubbling from the open wound. As Weiyuan hardened it, the sand pulled at the surrounding damaged tissue until the individual grains began shredding the viscera. Brain matter and muscles turned to a slush of red goop that coated the newly formed rock spinning within the skull cavity.

The creature took a shaky step forward before toppling over and landing heavily in the dirt. The impact threw dust and sand into the air and what remained of the contents within its head pooled on the ground around it. The rock tumbled free, red and glistening in the sun.[/color][/quote]
