"Creed guard the back" Alto issuses an order as he prepares to fight... by running at the thing and swinging his massive sword.

Kentaro:<Quite the fearless leader.>

*Kentaro and Kari draw their guns, Kentaro firing immedialty while Kari takes an extra few seconds to aim before squeezing the trigger.*

OOC: Added him to the Monsterpedia. Relevant info: Its roars' strenght can blow people 15 yards back.

*It jumps high into the air over James and Alto and lands in front of the others, bitchslapping Kentaro and then Kari into the air (provided they failed to dodge) to stop the bullets, and then proceeding to roar. Allina's slammed into a tree trunk by the strenght of a roar*

Allina: <Ugh...>

*James runs up behind the monster and starts bashing it with his sword.*

*Kentaro jumps in front of Kari holding his arms to shield his face and chest while Kari crouches curling into a ball.*

*Derek dashes forward and begins a punch to sheathe attack combo.*

"Oh this fucker is dead now!" Alto turns and runs full tilt at the thing before slashing with a cross slash.

Creed moves to act as a defender and protect those thaat need it.

*The monster is hit a couple times by Derek before roaring really loud and everyone but the two behind it is blown back*

Allina: <Thanks.>

*Th monster groans as Alto and James slash at its back and turns around, backhanding them both away*

Allina: <This thing's really strong!>

*The soldiers get up and dash towards the beast, slashing at its belly. Crone leans against a tree and stares at the monster's face*

*Derek groans for a moment as he regains his composure from being blown back. He uses his sword as a crutch and stands to his feet.*

Derek: <This one's strong... I'll have to put the heat on this one.>

*He draws the Kusanagi and dashes towards the beast, readying a slash attack.*

*James flies into a tree and gets up.*

James: <Urgh... I might have to put a little effort into it now!>

*James' sword lights up on fire. He slashes at the air and waves of fire shoot out, heading towards the monster.*

"Nice to see you're helping asshole!" Alto calls out to Crone as he flies through the air before hitting the ground with a thud.

Creed is also knocked back by the roar and rolls.

"Kentaro, why di-"

Kentaro:<Worry about this first.>

*Kentaro gets in a crouch position and fires. Kari stands beside him firing.*

"My turn!"

*Jade appears in a nearby tree, blade drawn, and dives at the monster to stab it in the back*

Crone: <Oh, but you all seem to be doing so well.>

*Soul and James's fire attacks envelop the monster in flames as it groans in pain. It starts swinging its hands around until it falls forward, gasping for air, its body covered in bullet wounds and burns*

"Done already? I gotta stop trying to make an entrance..."

Alto takes this oppurtunity to get up, give Crone the finger, and then rush the monster delivering a massive overhead slash to it.

*Kentaro stands up and creeps up to the monster firing a few more rounds into it.*

*James puts his sword away.*

James: <That's another point for justice!>

*The monster turns into an unusually big light sphere that fades away*

Allina: <...Aw.>

Crone: <You can't be soft when it comes to monsters.>

*He walks forward and picks up a leather pouch the monster had left behind, throwing it at Allina*

Crone: <It probably stole it from an adventurer. One it ate alive, most likely. Share.>

~Everyone has earned 200 Gald!~

Allina: <...It's still not its fault, we could've let it live.>

*Crone resumes walking. Allina glances at the spot the monster had died at one last time and follows him, sighing*

James: <I don't like that guy. He seems suspicious....>

*James looks at Crone*

*Kari walks up beside Kentaro*

"Are you all right?"

Kentaro:<Oh yeah. Never better.>

*Jade follows quietly*

"Seems isn't the word, is is." Alto says to James. Creed is bringing up the rear again.
