The creature was recovering. Haruko could fix that. It dared to stand against the sun, and for its impudence it would be burned to ashes. Haruko gathered energy once more, the gem on her chest shining with a brilliant, terrible light. She dove toward the creature and plasma lanced out once more from her outstretched arms, raking its way across the creatures entire body as she strafed it. Once she passed the thing's head, she tilted back upward, twisting about in the air to burn away at its head directly as she rose.

Alter to 4.

Ai hadn't exactly taken the distance to the hopsital at an empassioned run. But those who wait for something good, right?

Suddenly, from across the parking lot came a loud whistle as if someone was calling their dog over. Though it was Ai herself moving towards the battle and not the other way around. As she meandered across the space she snatched up a signpost with the same sort of cassual whipping-motion of the arm that's usually involved in picking up a rake or a pool que leaned against the wall, gave the debris of pavement still attached to the bottom a light thump with her foot (sending chunks flying everywhere) and then raised the thing over her shoulder like a javelin.

The throw came with the thunderclap of the sound barrier shattering like a pane of glass and sent the improvised projectile rocketing at the creatures head with surprising accuracy. You try and evade that after Haruko's blinding lightshow.

Ragnar groaned from his spot on, or more accurately in, the ambulance. He was quickly deciding that he liked dealing with projectiles much more than blunt force trauma. Especially since he was fairly certain several of his ribs were bruised, if not broken entirely at that point. So, he took his time prying himself out of the crater he was in. Besides letting him catch his breath and assess the damage to himself, it also gave his bugs time to get to work, penetrating deeper into the zoanthrope before he went in for his next attack.
Recover, (4)

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Yamato, with no small amount of effort, beats a hasty retreat from the Zoanthrope's striking range. A third Zoanthrope in one day was taking its toll on his stamina, and the wounds he'd already taken were catching up to him. All in all, today was just not his day.

Self-pity could wait, though. Right now, the priorities were getting out, hopefully being healed somewhat, and then figuring out a new angle of attack. To that end...
'I require healing.'

Retreat, ask Spica for a Mending Spring.

Even if she isn't having much effect, Kiyo can do little else against her foe. With it distracted by her allies and preparing for another attack, the robotgirl continues what she's doing. Throwing everything she has at the Zoanthrope to slow it down.

Use the last 4 to heal Ragnar, then get out of the way of the attack - when an opportunity presents itself, kick the shit out of the zoanthrope.

Little more could be done to prepare him now. Best to harry. So he shoots forward, sword flashing, attempting to carve long gashes across the body of the serpent, to wound it, to hurt it, to disable it more than kill it, for now.

Alter to 5, attack for effect, stay evasive.

Turn 3
[Now Playing: Ophiuchus Zoanthrope Theme ~White Fatalis Theme~]
A loud thunderclap sounds over the hospital parking lot. The beast barely has enough time to react before a piece of pavement shatters against its hardened scales, staggering the beast as Ai makes her entry. The Zoanthrope shakes its head, roaring, allowing Yamato and Amelie to beat a hasty retreat, to get their wounds healed and heal others respectively, Spica darting between the sides to get to Yamato. Ragnar takes the opportunity, meanwhile, to pull himself together, as more of Kiyo's projectiles sink into the reptilian abomination, opening the path for an attack by the others.

As Yamato and Amelie fall back, Maki and Ito make their way forward, Haruko not far behind.

With a loud cry, Maki smashes her fist directly into the beast, electricity arcing between the point of contact and the beast's scales, throwing the beast back visibly as it skids away from the mighty hit. Several slashes find their mark on the beast as Ito's sword cleaves through their toughened scales, behaving more like cleaved metal than torn flesh. The beast lashes out in a desperate attempt to target Ito, claws glistening with venom, but Ito's too fast, too quick, and another deep cut renders its right hand limp.

Meanwhile, as the others all deal with the creature, Haruko ascends upwards, preparing a burst of mighty plasma.

It has barely any time to evade the blast, and combined with the sheer size of the beast, it being blinded and the quite-frankly dangerous reactions going on within Haruko, the Zoanthrope has almost no hope of escaping the nuclear onslaught that strikes it as white-hot plasma crashes into it.

The smell of burning Zoanthrope flesh, an unpleasant combination between burning rubber and rotten flesh, fills the air as the beast releases a high-pitched, agonized whine. It's still not down, despite all that, but you feel it's close. Glaring directly at Haruko, the one who had put it in such a position, it braces itself, readying itself for some final assault, some final charge. You don't know what form it'll take, or how, but you know that if it lands, it won't end well for you at all.

There it was. The beast was broken, desperate. Time to do what he does best. Ito's golden blade spins as his feet leave the ground, carving a circle in the air, a disc of gold from which erupts his armor, its golden plates sealing him off from the world, filling him with strength. This was no Horror. It did not know what he was.

He would teach it.

He'd aim for a spot just behind its neck, landing upon it heavily, his shining blade plunging toward it tip-first, hopefully embedding somewhere near its spine. Then, should it not be already dead, he'd simply let go, leaving the soulmetal to return to its true weight, hopefully pinning he creature as he hammers at it with his bare fists, monstrous strength turning his gauntleted hands into deadly weapons.

Alter to 5. Spend a Will point to don Armor. Beat the shit out of snek

[Chevaleresse]

Not only was the beast insolent enough to remain standing before her wrath, but it dared to gaze up at her malevolently. There was only one course of action, of course: let all of her solar fury rain down upon it. Rather than attempting to evade, Haruko simply dove towards the thing again - and then exploded, a brilliant white flash preceding a terrible boom as she let the power within her loose all at once.

Alter to 4, use Will point to activate Supernova

Ragnar was ready to jump back into the fight, maybe stab at the beast one more time... But, seeing the bird turn around and dive towards the zoanthrope... He decided that staying in one piece just in case was a better idea. Thus he crouched behind his shield, looking down for the inevitable flash.
[3] guard, just in case.

[Mistwing]

Ai's reaction was very simple. Even as the others unleashed their attacks to try and kill the thing before it could attempt it's final defiance, Kamijou simply strode across the parking lot and then stopped and planted her feet like someone preparing to take a punch and then... Thumped a fist into her chest in a non-verbal but extremely loud message:

Come at me, bro.

Seeing that the creature is close to defeat, Kiyo continues her barrage. With her flying high in the sky and Ai drawing attention to herself, the robot trusts that she'll be safe as she launches plasma and missiles at the Zoanthrope in a seemingly unending stream

The beast was on death's door, and the others seemed to have carrying it over that metaphorical porch well in hand. That was good. Yamato refrains from pitching in for now. There were other things he needed to take care of.
A quick scan of the battlefield has Yamato focus on Sun Crow instead. She was blazing bright, and if Yamato had to guess her next attack would have... considerable power behind it, enough to have serious consequences for both the surrounding city and person inside that giant snake. Best to take care of that quickly, before something irreversible happened.
