Blast it! Nothing worked on the spider bitch!
Some web coated rocks slammed into her...and stuck, weighing her down, so sh gave up subtlety and surged forward right into the Ushi, grabbing her arms. It was time to trade bites.
Her own teeth flashed out as her massive mouth gaped with and fastened on the Ushi's shoulder. Her paralytic venom shot into the wound. This was it, she was going to win!
A snapping sound surprised her, as did a pain in her side. The little human morsel was leaning in a doorway, and had just released a crossbow, sending a bolt into her. Hah! They'd have to do better than that. Then she noticed a tug and pain shot through her. The little bastard had tied webbing to the bolt and tied it to a floorbolt. Unless she ripped out her own guts, she was trapped!
Worse...she was now in the arms of an enraged Ushi Oni!
Tim had been disturbed from resting and trying to heal by the epic battle, Finally, he'd gotten his crutches, loaded the crossbow, taken a spidersilk rope to tie to it and gone to see how the battle was going. When he got close, he tied the other end to an old four inch thick steel bolt imbedded in the floor. It wasn't until his love got bit that he did anything.
His shaky legs and broken ankle hardly holding him, he called over to Mizuki. "We're a team. Always."
