It's been hours, and the woman still hasn't come back. Zeiram is still out there, somewhere, in the darkness, and you're still trapped in the empty cordon. What are you going to do?

[Well, her chocking idea is doing nothing, so Maladict tries to get a punch in on that mask, as she tries to hang on with her other arm]

Anytime you get that gun ready would be really great. I hope there's instructions.

[zeiram]

[Punching the mask, you say? The mask opens its jaws to try and take a chunk out of Maladict's hand.]

[hellofist]

[She just barely manages to get out of the way of that swing, but it still glances off her and not for the first time Cass is just very, very annoyed she can't read Zeiram. At least Batman isn't here to yell for going up against something she really has little chance of beating, but what else can she do?

Yeah, she's gonna have some fun bruises to go with that bite mark, but she's right back in, leaping onto Zeiram's chest to try and grab the tentacle part before it can bite Maladict too.

Yay teamwork!]

[zeiram]

[Then the tentacle twists around and tries to bite Cass instead. Stand still, tasty morsels!

Meanwhile, Zeiram swings its arm again, this time trying to slam a fist into Cass's back.]

[nothingtobelieve]

[The gun looked effective, he had to give it that. And he only stares down at it lying in pieces in the case for a few moments before he starts fitting the pieces together. It really wasn't all that hard, thankfully.

But it's also pretty obvious that if he just fires it off, he's going to hit the other two, as well.]

Clear out!

[Easier said than done, he's sure, but at least they know he's ready now]

[mal_addict]

[Maladict sends one more punch to Zeiram's mask, before grabbing hold tightly of it, pulling up, trying to wrench it away from Cass]

Go, I'll be right behind you.

[hellofist]

[The punch knocks her into Zeiram, which would typically be good if the idea was to stay and fight. She'd want to be close then, but now she needs to get away because whatever that gun is going to do, it's going to be powerful if it can stop this thing.

Mal pulls and Cass jams her hand up, aiming for it's eye slit again in the hopes that she can stun Zeiram and get out of the way. If it works, she'll sprint off and out of the way.]

[zeiram]

[It does work -- Zeiram makes an infuriated hissing sound but it lets them go.

It seems to know what's coming when the girls depart. It turns -- turns to face Vicious directly, tilting its head back and roaring as if to issue a challenge.

Easy target.]

[nothingtobelieve]

[Vicious is ready to be done with this whole mess. As soon as Maladict and Cass are free and Zeiram has turned its attention back to him, he aims and fires the weapon. Time to get this over with.]

1/3

[zeiram]

[It works, of course.

Zeiram's body explodes into a mass of flesh and fire, crumpling down into a smoking heap. But then...]

[zeiram]

[Then...

From out of the pile of burning flesh, something else arises. Topped by the "hat," a skeletal structure emerges. Spindly legs -- too many legs, too many limbs -- and a large, oversized ribcage. The sound of bone cracking is audible in the air as its new parts snap into place. It's still alive.

And it laughs.]

[Right about then, there's a blinding flash of light and Iria appears on some scaffolding nearby. She takes a moment to quickly look around and figure out what's happening, and --]

Damn it. Shoot him again!

[She reaches inside her armor and pulls out a remote, quickly typing something in.]

[mal_addict]

[Nothing is ever easy, is it? Maladict catches her breath (a new and unsettling concept for her) before looking at Cass, leaving the thing to the guy with the gun]

You got bit, you holding up okay? [Because that is a lot of blood, she's almost GLAD she isn't herself right now or that'd have even more problems]

[hellofist]

[Keeping her attention on the fight and very glad to see Iria doing alright, Cass nods as she rips the sleeve of her shirt off, using it to tie around one of the bites and stop the bleeding at least a little.]

Doesn't hurt. Just hope... second shot works.

[nothingtobelieve]

[Vicious just scowls when the skeleton crawls up out of the remains. Of course it wasn't that simple. He's already preparing to shoot it again when Iria reappears, and he doesn't really need her direction to line up a second shot and shoot the thing again.

Hopefully this time it will stay down]

[97995]

[The skeletal Zeiram explodes with the second shot.

Iria aims her remote at the remainder -- the fleshy "hat" with the mask on it -- and presses the button. Like the first time she trapped the creature, electricity arcs around it and then a polygonal box forms. He's frozen and trapped.]
