...I hate you guys.

[13 vs 2] You kneel down as the Colossus turns it's attention back to you. It's maw opens, showing dozens of razor sharp teeth that gleam dark gray, dripping with infectious ooze. You pour your willpower into the earth, putting everything you have into it.

[20] And everything that you hope happens does. A massive sharp spike splits out of the plaza's cracked and torn surface, spiking Ito the creature's face.

Out of the corner of your eye, you notice something emerge from the rubble. William staggers to his feet, his helmet off as blood pools beneath him from his shredded torso. He still holds his las-rifle, albeit in one hand, as the other hangs limply from his side. He staggers, before his legs lock, his body tilting forward.

It screams, a gout of gray ooze pouring from the grievous impalement. It rips part of it's body out from the spike, ripping a deeper wound in itself that pours ooze to the ground below. It screams again, chest filling with air as tentacles lash out at you.

[/....]

"Hold steady!  Victory is within our grasp!  Give everything to the Holy SEED!"

Attempt further earth manipulation spikes, with an eye towards severing limbs/extremities.

I think it's in its death throes.

And we fear you. How endearing. :))

Although... for the love of all, get out of the way of those flying tentacles first.




Once we kill this thing (assuming we do kill this thing), we really should try and channel a Healing Surge through William. Guy got himself slashed to ribbons on our behalf.

That guy is awesome.  He deserves a promotion or something.

Promotion nuffin'-- if he survives this, he and his family will replace the old order outright. We're killing SEED, we're killing all SEED's generals-- somebody has to take charge of the military in our name, and the Thorntons have proven their worth tenfold. At this point... why not?

'Course, I suspect he's gonna die before we get to him. That'll be fun to explain to Emma, if we ever get the chance.  :-\

[1 vs 14]A spell of the spins hits you as you try to stagger out of the way. You have a second to think-- and you curse yourself for the pain you're about to inflict upon yourself.

[20] It charges, tentacles lashing, too fast, too hard, too quick to dodge without losing focus. So you don't. A spike slams forth into the Colossus just as it's tentacles smash into your arm, shredding into your flesh as you futilely tried to ward away the blow. You are spent sprawling in a gout of blood.

[Hand dismemberment detected. Massive lacerations across arm, chest. Bone deep. No Infection detected. Exsanguination in...five minutes. Nutrient levels low. Shock in three minutes.]

[7][Healing...ERROR! UNABLE TO ACCESS. SEEK OUT MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.]

The Colossus squirms futilely, weakly. It's eyes are fixed and full of primal hate. You stare back, mirroring the entity's hatred, even as you know you're bleeding out.

Unconsciousness drifts up to greet you, embracing you like a long lost friend.

Yes, as long as it wouldn't result in our immediate death.

Give him your blood. Transfusion.



You awaken to jostling, and you feel awful. You're on a cot, and you feel yourself accelerating. William sits beside you, a stump of a torso. His chest is in ribbons, medics attending to him in a panic. He stops breathing, and the medics get their hands bloody as they start to do compressions.

Hmm.  I don't really trust William, but he is useful.  I'm torn.

I'm done distrusting him. For better or for worse, he's a brother now.

Do what we must to save William, save only the expense of our own life.

"Transfuse my blood into him." You choke out, and the medic stares.

"Mother Alphira-- I don't think you two are capa-- you've lost too much blood!"

"DO IT NOW." He's breathing again, and you feel nothing as you're crudely rolled over and stuck with a needle. You watch your blood flow through the tube-- and feel weaker, weaker. You drift back into unconsciousness, your last waking sight is William convulsing.
