[At this point of the battle, Taryon has learned that deploying roombas near yamadenkis that thrive off of electric power is not a good idea, and he must rescue Maura and Banazîr from being gobbled up and used to beef up the giant lizards. One little roomba zips from attraction to attraction - it has learned well enough that a zigzag pattern is critical when escaping certain reptiles, but not for agile lizards. Taryon leaps over rubble and yamadenki with the help of the Hermes boots.
He turns around, pointing a spear at the beast's mouth as he backs into Minnie's House, where Maura the roomba waits, quivering on the path. Before him, he sees Choso leap into action, a flash of red, and fallen geckos.
Then, a red wave of water approaches him. No...that's blood. That smells like blood. Taryon turns around, cradles the roomba in his arms, and holds it to his chest as the bloody deluge knocks him to his knees. It thankfully doesn't soak into his plugsuit, but it spatters over his hair. When the current lessens, he gets on his feet and swivels around to see a world of stained cobblestones, drowned kaiju, and Choso standing in the epicenter of the disaster.]
...
[He opens his mouth as if to say something. Whatever thought he could possibly express wouldn't be heard across that distance, anyway, but he's staring horrified at this boy.]
