They closed in on the sandstorm, sand filling any crevice it could find in almost an instant. They couldn't hear each other and it wasn't long before they couldn't see each other. Their leader stopped after a few minutes, a rumble spreading out through the ground beneath her. She paused and looked around, then yelled something and wiped her gun around her torso so it landed in her hands.
What looked like a pillar whose color matched the sand lurched out of the ground right infront of her. It groaned as her bullet bit into it. The top of it swung around, knocking her clear into the storm. The cadets opened fire immediately. The pillar swung back around and tore open, exposing an array of spiraling teeth.
[It's basically a giant worm with shark teeth o_o]
Aimee
"I dunno..." She felt the material in her fingers, "It doesn't feel organic- and the coloring is too exotic. Maybe some of the plants are cross-breeding?" That or someone was doing it illegally. Her glasses fogged up and she frowned, pulling out a cloth to clean them, "It got pretty muggy in here...." Little did she know she was being breathed on...
Leo quickly drew the katana from his side. The wooden blade on his back was useless unless all conditions were met. "The guns aren't enough..." He muttered inaudibly. The fool hardy warrior stood tall, blade in hand. A smirk was invisible beneath the shawl as she charged the mighty beast. "It's about time!" He shouted as he leapt into the air bring his blade to his side for a quick horizontal slice.
Xanatos
Xanatos was a bit more vigilant than his female counterpart. His eyes looked beyond the flower to see the shadow on the ground. He quickly pushed her aside before leaping backward while casting a fire spell in the direction of the beast. He landed, sliding to a stop and taking a battle ready stance. "Damn it! I told you to keep your guard up!" He growled as stared down the mighty beast. "Time to finish what we started!" He roared, calling the beast out.
Leviathan
A man in a tattered long coat stepped forward. Long icy blue hair fell to his mid-back and a particularly long katana like weapon was clutched in his right hand. He looked down at Evelyn through bandage covered eyes and kneeled briefly, lifting her by her arm with one pull of his own. He looked down upon the woman in silence before giving a quiet nod and taking his battle-ready stance.
The monster shrieked and smashed itself toward Leo. It's skin was too thick for the sword to penetrate with ease; it looked like a paper-cut. More bullets hailed onto it's side, leaving small welts instead of piercing through. This would not be an easy fight.
Evelyn found herself on her feet and looked at their new comrade, "I dunno who the fuck you are," She yelled at him through the storm, "but you better know how to kick some ass!!" She checked on her gun to find it was jammed and swung it back around so it strapped to her back. She ran over to one of the vehicles and crawled on top, manning a turret. She flipped a switch and waited for it to power up before pissing bullet into the monsters face.
It shrieked and flailed around, slamming itself onto the ground repeatedly. It crushed a few cadets before shriveling into the sand. An eerie quiet followed before it lurch back up again, swallowing a cadet. His cries could be heard as the spiraling teeth tore him to shreds.
Aimee
Aimee yelled at him, "You didn't have to push me down!!" She growled and turned over, her eyes engorged with shock as a T-Rexaur stepped out from the shadows. It roared at the two teens, it's spit flying everywhere. There was a pause after it's entrance, allowing Aimee the time to wipe dino saliva from her glasses. She gulped and mumbled, "Guess we found him..."
[You can play the T-Rexaur if you want- unless you'd rather me do it.]
Leo gave a moan of disapproval as his blade did nothing to the beast. When it whirled around in his direction he rolled underneath it's massive body trying for a second cut as it passed over head. Still nothing. "Damn it!" He growled as he rose to his feet, sheathing his blade. His hand finding home on the handle of the wooden blade. "I need your help now..." He began quietly as he lifted the weapon from his back. "Offer me your strength..." He closed his eyes in silence as his hand pulled the bandaged knot and allowed it to fall away from the blade. "Reindra!" He roared as his body and weapon burst into flames.
Soon the flames died away revealing a dark skinned, crimson haired man clutching a massive metal blade. The look he wore on his face was one of boarder line insanity. He enjoyed the chaos, it made him feel alive. "I see Leo was too weak to destroy you. Perhaps my Salamandra will make the difference!" He said with a menacing grin as he leapt into the air after the beast bringing the blade down on it's hide.
Leviathan
Leviathan casually approached the beast. His blade at his side. He raised his head to see the crimson haired warrior sail through the air. "Reindra..." He whispered. His gaze returned to the beast as he drew closer. He quickly pulled the blade back to his side and brought it across in a swift horizontal strike followed by a raising vertical slice.
Xanatos
Xanatos gave the girl a quick glance to make sure she was on her feet before returning his eyes to the beast. "If I hadn't you'd be his lunch and I'd be fighting alone." He retorted harshly.
The T-Rexaur gave a loud roar before whipping it's large tail around in the direction of the two students. Xanatos rolled to the left, under his tail, quickly haulting in a kneeling position, his eyes shifting quickly to see if Aimme was alright.
Evelyn reloaded the turret gun before firing on the monster again. She noticed a new entity and watched as he lunged at the monster. Both of the men wielding swords were able to tear through it's hide. It would take at least a hundred strokes to cut through it- and they didn't have much time for that.
She called over the radio for the cadets in the vehicles to start putting together mini-missiles. If they could fire them into an open wound, they would have a better chance at decapitating it faster and without losing more men. Evelyn distracted the monster by shooting at it's face again. She watched it flail in agony, thus giving the sword wielders more time to hack-n-slash.
Aimee
The girl threw herself forward and covered the back of her head as it's massive tail swung over her. She quickly got up to her feet and took a few steps back. Aimee used this time to cast magic, using Double on Xanatos incase he decided to use magic again. "Fire won't do much, but we'll have to make due."
Reindra planting both feet against the creature, clutching his blade tightly. The blade was still trapped in the beast's hide. His gaze hardened as he thrust the blade deeper and continued to clutch the blade as he was thrashed around with it as it lurched in pain from the machine gun fire. "Alright big boy. Time to play fair!" He growled as he drew the blade, holding onto the open wound with his hand. While dangling from the beast he swung the blade rapidly just a few feet below the other wound.
Leviathan
Leviathan evaded the thrashing creature with ease. Though large and difficult to slay, this creature wasn't the worst he had seen. He looked in the direction of the vehicle that the woman he had saved was operating. His gaze narrowed as he looked at the sparratic and uncontrolled gunfire. They needed to focus the damage into a single point, an open wound. His eyes than turned to Reindra, seeing the deepening of the wound he was causing he quickly rushed towards the vehicle.
The blue haired warrior leapt to the back of the vehicle before pointing in Reindra's direction with his blade. "Shoot." He said simply, before leaping from the vehicle and charging the beast again.
Xanatos
The T-Rexaur redirected his body and attempted to lunge and Xanatos, who rather than dodge leapt into the beast's mouth. Stabbing his gunblade into the roof of it's mouth as a deterent to keep it from crushing him. "Attack him now!" Xanatos roared before taking advantage of the double that had been casted on him by firing two fire-balls into the beasts mouth. The beast thrashed around, more irritated than wounded, and trying to spit the crimson haired youth out.
The edge of her mouth lifted in a half snarl. She knew what she was doing and didn't appreciate being undermined, but this wasn't the time. The turret jammed and she cursed, kicking at it with her foot. A cadet ran up to the side and called out to her, then tossed up what looked like a bazooka. She caught the ammo that was tossed up after it and loaded it. She didn't give any warning as she fired it.
The missile lodged into the wound on the monster and exploded, blood gushing out like rain. It groaned in pain and slammed into the ground. t twitched for a few moments before shrieking and flailing itself around again. She loaded up another missile and shot it out at the monster, widening the wound in the process. It threw itself up and thrust more of it's body out of the ground. It let itself fall, crushing another cadet and throwing up a wave of sand. It was getting weaker and wouldn't last much longer.
Aimee
She spun around and threw her wrist forward, a sheet of metal bursting out into her hand. Aimee molded it into a pike and ran at the T-Rexaur. She yelled out before stabbing the blade into the ground and vaulting herself onto it's back. Aimee tore her weapon out of the ground and spun it over her head, then twisted it and stabbed the monster in the side. She ground her teeth together as she pulled on the pike, moving the blade across the monsters side.
