Viral had put a lot of power into that attack, he really wanted to deal some proper damage where it counted no matter what the cost to his defences might be. He couldn’t do with failing to hit with this attack, it would take a while for him to charge up enough energy again to be able to withstand firing it off. Hoping it would hit a vital spot, the attack managed to scorch the creature and create a vulnerable spot instead. It could have been better, but at the same time it could had been a lot worse and failed completely. Glaring at the creature, he watched it calmly as it tried to make light of the situation; however, that moment was quickly wrecked when Yumi also took the opportunity to blast its back.

Those two attacks had created two appropriate weaknesses in its defences, something that would definitely prove handy in his battle against this thing. He didn’t much like he would have to either go straight under or completely over the creature, but maybe he would be able to do something with that and not need to use his beam again for a while anyway. Looking around quickly, he soon decided to back off a few steps as the creature instead turned to him, trying to make an attempt to squash him between the two pillars that were its massive hands, “Is this all YOU can do? Throw your arms around??” he spoke, lifting up both his blades and immediately began to spin rapidly on the spot. It was like a whirlwind effect only with blades trying to shred up whatever came close to him, but after a brief halt he was quick to suddenly run across the battlefield, the wind continuing to circulate around him before he leaped up towards the creature, speeding straight for the burn he had managed to inflict with a great boost of speed to send him higher as he tried to cut it straight open.

T’charrl felt pretty scared and a little depressed at his circumstances, this whole thing seeming a lot harder than he imagined and it was definitely beginning to make him wonder if he should be here. He did manage to seemingly kill one of the creatures, it definitely evaporated away and that looked pretty dead to him, but he missed the second and it could be anywhere by now. Letting out a sigh as he stared down at his food, he shook his head slowly, “I just…feel so awful”, he spoke, lowering his head before looking to Takeshi’s hand as he patted his shoulder. Takeshi always seemed confident, but placing that in him felt like a waste of time, “It just hurts so much and…even though I should be happy about that, I can’t help but worry about the day I lose myself forever. It will happen, it’s just a matter of time if I can’t keep it together”.

Watching as Takeshi went to the den briefly to let Shu know he could leave it, he decided to munch at his food some more as he tried to get over his low point over what happened. That was his biggest fear, he could end up losing his mind completely and would have to be put down as the monster he’s become. If anyone would have to do that it was definitely his friends, but it was a question as to whether they would be able to defeat him before he managed to take all their energy and devour them. Watching as he came back, he looked to him momentarily before he shook his head, not really agreeing with what he was saying, “You can…I mean, you used it back there, you just need to get training with it. At least it’s something you can learn just if you wanted to…”

Shu had been well into this hiding and protecting gig the entire time they were outside, his head only poking out of the den when Takeshi had moved back to the cart. He didn’t know whether it was safe to come out, he didn’t see anything that told him the creatures were dead except for the fact that they were sitting around the cart. Tilting his head a little, he slowly moved out of the den, moving along on his knuckles before he bounced towards his brother as he looked behind himself. He felt a little nervous and didn’t like leaving his post, but if Takeshi said it was safe then he was sure the family would follow him out.
