1) You have a hedgehog?!

2) Heal the hedgehog!

The Narrow Path

It was a second or two before another grunt caused the bear's eyes to widen. In an instant, the bear rushed for a flaming wall and slammed into it, barreling through the thing and making a hole large enough for you to easily walk through. The flames trickled the bear on his way through, singing the fur but not igniting him as he pounced onto the man who was towering over Maggy, who was clearly bleeding from her midsection, bare skin exposed.

She had a smile on her face though. A wide smile.

"Dad!" she shouted as she climbed back onto her feet, hugging the large bear tightly as he seemed to smile back. It was hard to tell, but the bear was clearly smiling.

The Narrow Path

The bear nods as he stands on his hind legs, seemingly as if he was stretching. You can see on his underbelly that he's scarred to hell from various sword wounds and stabs, but he's still alive before you. He's been through a ton. Far more than you'll ever be through in the foreseeable future.

From beyond the walls, you can hear the grunt of a girl. Maggy's not doing so great, it would seem. Might be time to go and save her, right?

"All good here. Trying to disable the turrets and shit now. There's just one problem..."

Zap.

"There's this one guy, he's not staying down and I have to keep shocking him."

Zap.

"Aside from this guy, I'm all peachy here. Not sure for how long though."

Zap.

"Doors are locked, at least they should be. Nobody's come in if they aren't locked."

Zap.

"Just me, this guy, and the controls."

Zap.

"... oh... well he's dead now I think."

Xoxi's hands returned to existence as it grabbed the labcoat, draping it around her and buttoning it up. She was right. They were surprisingly warm for how they looked. There was a good chance this wasn't going to return to anyone now.

Xoxi pondered the question of why she was a hero for a few seconds before finally answering. "I'm not trying to be a hero for me or for the city, I'm trying to be a hero for my dad. We'd been through so much with the poverty and all of that trash, and now that the... incident, we'll call it, with my mother happened, I think he was ready to... ready to just quit. For good." Xoxi's tone shifted slightly as she said those last two words, but returned to normal afterwards. "Besides, I'd rather be seen as a mural for someone to gawk at than a stain on the side of a wall."

Xoxi took another second before talking again. "Now... I think I'm going to vent for a bit."

Hey. So, what's happening right now is a bit too graphic for even my tastes. Like, horribly so. If I could phrase it into words for you, I would because it's quite entertaining to watch this double-amputee flail around on the bed and destroy it, but it's very difficult trying to put it into words. If you all that are reading this could do me a big solid and just imagine some of the worst words and worst things you could do to someone here, that'd be great. I think I'm gonna be going here for a while. I might return. Who knows? Not me. See ya.

Xoxi sat back up on the bed, her headache finally gone and the entire bed a large mess of torn sheets, popped pillows, and tears bitter and sweet. A smile washed over her face as she looked back at Yamada with a wide-eyed grin. "That... that felt good."

The War of the Three

Bonesword

@Floodtalon@Lmpkio

The skeleton descended alongside Unit-T and Utada as he was covered in seaweed. Honestly, to the eels he just looked like a descending rock, blown away from the rest of the area as debris. A low hum sounded from his shield as he descended, the recharge process starting up and reaching about a third of the full charge as Bonesword hit the ground, returning to being in his suit of seaweed and urchin spikes as he trotted on towards where he thought the best place for the staff to be would be.

His best guess? Probably where all the angelic soldiers were relentlessly harassing crabs. Bonesword ran over to the backside of a rock before he carefully peeked out and observed the fight, not trying to be offensive or fight any of them.

5 ROUNDS

*Not a boss*

The Narrow Path

The bear seemed to... nod at you before it looked towards the inside of the stronghold. Seems like there'd be something in there to help you and the bear out. In fact, you can clearly see a wagon of cabbages inside the entrance to the stronghold. It could help provide a way out as a ramp of some kind.

Of course, it would also catch fire if it came into contact with the fiery barriers. You'd have to find another way to use it.

The Narrow Path

You tried to escape, but the walls fell down even more around you. You can't actually run. There are flaming barriers preventing you from escaping and getting Maggy. On the other hand, you do see a mook on the ground with his flesh melting into the dirt, so... yeah there's that. You can count that as a victory if you punch him before he's a pile of flesh.

The bear worriedly begins to pace around, trying to find his way out of the area for some reason. Perhaps he was tired of being cooped up the entire time he was captured. That was your best idea right now.

The Narrow Path

The bear stares you down, its gaze fixated on you as you get a good look at it. The bear clearly is an old one, with gray hairs in patches all over his body, but you can clearly see the torn clothes on the bear's body. His mouth is covered in the blood of the orc, soaking his beard in a nice shade of crimson. You can tell he is distressed but you cannot understand why he is so distressed. Probably due to all of the commotion going on.

You can faintly hear the sounds of arcane magic on the other side of the wall, meaning Maggy is holding her own at the very least. You haven't heard her scream yet either, so that's a good sign. The other good sign right now is the bear's surprising neutrality to you. He doesn't seem to want to fight you, more or less he's just being cautious around you. Clearly, you can tame this beast and use it as a mount.

The Narrow Path

The punch collided, but the rune on the orc's chest shone again as he simply turned his head back to face you. "Woy yew lil--"

The orc was interrupted, however, by the sudden arrival of a large bear as it rushed out of the stronghold and began to maul the orc. Ripping his chest-rune off, the bear tore tendon and tendon off of the orc until the only movement you could see was from the twitching that occurred when someone was recently deceased.

Well, the orc was dead, but you now have a bigger problem.

There's a giant, enraged bear in the area with you.
