KAIJU FIGHT #7
KAIJU FIGHT #7
▶ 001. EGYPTIAN DINNER.
As the days go on, more and more evidence begins to show that the kaiju is, indeed, hiding out somewhere deep within the desert, approximately in the West area around the Qattara Depression. LILITH’s crew embarks first with all of their supplies to set up a temporary base in the ruined city of El Alamein, a small city at the edge of the desert. Outsiders are requested to wait there until further instructions, and this temporary base will be a safe haven if things get too treacherous. After all, even after all of their research, who knows what this monster is capable of doing?
Once the base is set up, Outsiders will move out, either on their camel or other means they may have to arrive at the base. The days continue to grow shorter, nighttime beginning to descend as early as 3 PM. Outsiders will also be highly recommended to consume the cyber caffeine once again as its effects from the plane ride are beginning to wear off. To their surprise, when the Outsiders arrive, a large buffet of Egyptian food will be waiting for them. Koshari, shawarma, falafel and Egyptian stew will be served. All fresh and natural ingredients! Everyone settle in and dine together… it could be the last meal you have.
LILITH suggests waiting until there is more sunlight before they hunt down the kaiju. Outsiders can rest, but do not sleep! Maybe wait for the sunrise together? Find other ways to kill some time? Maybe there are new Outsiders that would like to know about the previous kaijus? As the sun begins to rise, it paints the most beautiful sunrise that maybe Outsiders have ever seen. Were some of those new colors in the sky? How romantic.
▶ 002. QUICK AS SAND.
After the sun rises, Outsiders and LILITH prepare to leave the temporary base and head further towards the Qattara Depression. The trek starts out pretty easy, but the geography soon gets more and more dangerous, leading into what seems to be a large crevice in the Earth. Captain Yamakawa gives a report once the Outsiders have reached this area:
While it’s true that the area does contain many sand crocodiles popping out and spitting embers, there is no sight of any other kaiju. Yet, all evidence points to the fact that it is here. The rift energy is immense in this location, and those exposed may be hit with nightmares, bad memory sharing or a weakness to sunlight. As characters move along, following Yamakawa’s lead on her camel, those with keen hearing will detect it before anyone else: moaning, groaning. Sounds of agony, all coming from beneath them. It gets louder, causing Yamakawa to halt. But as soon as everyone stops, they will feel the ground start to sink beneath them.
It’s quicksand!
Yamakawa and any other Outsiders who may have been traveling close with her will soon be engulfed by the sand, first taking the camels by their legs. It’s never good to panic while in quicksand, and Yamakawa remains calm as ever, but if anyone tries to pull her and others out, she will say,
As characters vanish beneath the sand, they will see that Captain Yamakawa is correct — the quicksand leads to a hidden, ruined city beneath the Qattara Depression: a perfect lair for a kaiju who is sensitive to sunlight. Outsiders slowly fall and hit the rocky ground not-so gently, heaps of sand flowing after. Rub it from your eyes and remove it from your ears to marvel at a city that time has forgotten.
In the middle of the ruins, there is a large temple. It’s time to find that kaiju!
“Angels of LILITH, we have evidence that this area is filled with many sand crocodiles. We have supplied everyone with more shotguns and ammo, but use any other means to keep yourself safe. We have received evidence that the kaiju is in this general area. Keep alert! Who knows what sorts of powers it possesses that we may not know about!”

“This is it… This is how we get down below. The kaiju is under us! Angels of LILITH, hold your breath… Let the sand consume you if you wish to go further with me!”

▶ 003. TOMB RAIDER
The inside of the ruins are dark and mostly devoid of natural sunlight. However, there does occasionally seem to be flickers of light, as the sand above them runs fluidly across where the sky would be, almost like water. Due to the lack of visibility, Outsiders will need to utilize their LILITH-provided equipment or find other methods or sources for light. Everyone will have access to a flashlight, but there will also be abandoned torches nearby should anyone really want to impersonate Indiana Jones here. Once they arrive deeper in, they will see some of the torches spark to life, operated by a mysterious technology.
It's clear that these ruins were made for the sole purpose of housing the temple at its center, which appears to also be a type of tomb. There's a certain silent reverence to it, as it naturally demands respect. Or, it's the ominous presence of the sand crocodiles slithering about in the sands. The crocodiles can be lurking under any surface of sand, and so Outsiders will be cautioned and asked to be on the lookout, not only for themselves, but their fellow teammates.
If the crocodiles weren't alarming enough, as one enters the tomb itself, they will discover several booby traps awaiting them. If one steps carelessly, they'll find themselves at the other end of a vicious trap — some are triggered by stepping on the wrong stone, or grabbing a nearby torch. Some are even activated just by making eye contact with the wrong painting on the wall. If Outsiders feel any vibrations, they will get warnings on their oculars that a boulder may be swiftly approaching! Run and seek an alcove to hide in!
For those who are savvy with dismantling traps, they will find that some of them do have workarounds if you know the right methodology behind each one. As for if they will be given the time for it, that's another story, but maybe another Outsider can do the honors of triggering it while another suppresses it?
People should also do their best not to be drawn by some of the treasure or gems that are placed into several of the rooms with tombs. Picking up even one sliver of gold, or a gem will cause the mummies to reanimate. The mummies have an ability to produce sounds that can render people unconscious, or even cause their inner eardrums to bleed. While they are slow moving, they are also incredibly persistent, and as they're already technically dead, get on the wrong side of one and you may be stuck with it following you around. Fire seems to slow them down pretty effectively, as well. Should you be stuck with an aggressive one, however, it will do everything it can to try and harvest your organs. Completely dismembering them will un-alive them again.
Outsiders will get a notice when the rift energies increase in intensity as they traverse deeper within the tomb. Unexpectedly, it isn't the end of the tomb they're being led to, but the center of it.

▶ 004. HEART OF THE TOMB.
At the very center, the first thing everyone will notice is the rift. The rift effects will be strongest in this area. Thankfully, unlike the kaiju in Transylvania, everyone will still have full access to their abilities. One thing that can be noted, however, is that the rift energy may feel stronger than before, and Outsiders may feel an odd tingle that can be felt even through their suits. They may also find that if their attention strays for too long, they can feel their limbs go a little numb, so this battle will require all their focus.
While there are rift effects, hopefully that doesn't get in the way of anyone's performance. Especially as it doesn't take long for the kaiju to kick itself into gear.
This kaiju is capable of trapping people in nightmares and illusions, as well as sharing them. In addition, by looking its target in the eyes, it’s capable of causing them to feel intense fear to the point of paranoia. These effects can last even when no longer in the presence of the Kabus. The Kabus uses the disorientation caused by its abilities to render its victims incapable of fighting back, and uses its dark and inky black tendrils to trap its victims. The tendrils cannot be cut, and almost appear illusory as well.
The mummies also seem to be working in tandem with the Kabus and will gradually make their appearance in this deepest region of the tomb. However, they seem less aggressive and are far more interested in grabbing, or biting down on Outsiders to decrease their overall mobility, especially if they fall under the Kabus nightmares.
Unlike the permanent rift in Tokyo, LILITH will eventually send in help by blocking off some rift signals, enough to eventually get them shut down. Without the power of the rift, the Kabus’ power will also begin to dwindle, which hopefully all the Outsiders take full advantage of.

▶ 005. AFTERMATH
It's an intense fight, and Kento Nanami along with Cagalli deliver the hardest blows with 600 HP each, the monster grows weaker. It somehow knows it is about to die, though, especially when Choso's toxic blood poisons it. It's spiteful, seeking revenge for the pain it is feeling, and when it is attacked again, it lashes out, temporarily blinding Power and releasing a deafening screech to disorient Rico. The final blow is delivered by Muramasa, and when it dies, it speaks to him, something inaudible but it sounds like it is speaking in Arabic. It dissipates into sand, and LILITH encourages Outsiders to round up the sand for further evaluation. From the looks of it, though, it appears to be nothing special.
When the Kabus is eventually defeated, Outsiders will have a pocket of time in which they must make their escape before the tomb is completely buried in sand. Perhaps, without the kaiju there, the structure is no longer stable. If Outsiders don’t want to be buried in sand, they will have to make their escape swiftly.
... But not without gathering samples: Outsiders will be prompted to collect as many samples as they can. Some of these samples will be given over to the research institute, but the researchers of LILITH also feel like they could find a use in the sand and bloody bandages that the lynx left behind.
The Outsiders and LILITH crew escape successfully, moments before the underground is filled with sand. They high trek it back to the Alexandria Institute, where they are greeted with something that Outsiders have probably been craving.. along with crowds cheering, some falling to their knees in gratitude, LILITH & the Outsiders are provided the following before flying back to Neo Tokyo:
Free lodging at the most comfortable hotels with the most comfortable beds. Finally, they can rest easily and as much as they want to without the threat of the kaiju around! It takes one full day cycle for daylight and night time to return to normal, and after a long, sleep.. LILITH encourages the Outsiders to sleep as much as they would like because they deserve it.
Right when they close their eyes, though, one more message flashes across their oculars. It's been awhile since Outsiders have heard from their robotic-tentacled Commander. After all of that, he has a few words. On voice, he speaks, but then he also sends a text message:

...👍
...👍
- Medical staff will be on standby.
- Effects from the kaiju can last 24-48 hours to fully dissipate. (Note: This is up to players how they want to play this out. It could also come and go, so it does not affect their ability to play in any other aspect of the game in the meantime).
- As Outsiders were able to discuss and piece together some clues: they were able to rendezvous with the lynx in the desert and collect a hefty amount of samples (sand from the lynx, bloody bandages from the lynx, mummy parts.) Some of these samples will be used for medicine, while others for their suit. While Greece is still unresponsive, it may just be because of the rifts.
- LILITH will offer the energy drinks freely to those who want them. However, since it seems like some Outsiders get carried away, there will be a daily cap of two.
- The ESSENCE generator shows signs of working again, now with all aspects of the rift gone (the rift itself and the kaiju.)
- There will now be a simulation option once Neo Tokyo base reopens to mimic traps, so people can practice avoiding them. Even the ones with random screaming being used to lure people in. (They can’t believe this works).

EVENT BREAKDOWN/RECAP (CLICK TO EXPAND)
1. EGYPTIAN DINNER: Investigative efforts and careful research has led to the Outsiders next location. They are moved out from the comfort of their temporary base and are now having their last supper before they head out to the hunt.
2. QUICK AS SAND: They encounter more foes in the desert in the form of sand crocodiles. Everyone is provided weapons and ammo to hold these creatures back and minimize initial damages to the team. However, it seems the one of their biggest mysteries get solved. It's quicksand! .... and it looks like there's a lot more to unearth beneath them.
3. TOMB RAIDER: Outsiders arrive at the entrance of the tomb. Once in it, they are prey not only to the sand crocodiles, but the various booby traps set out for them. They will also encounter mummies which seem to be reanimated or powered by the kaiju.
4. HEART OF THE TOMB: Outsiders will find the kaiju at the heart of the tomb. As the preliminary report states, the kaiju infiltrates a being's consciousness and body through their dreams to stop their heart. Outsiders will need to be wary of this fact while battling the kaiju.
5. AFTERMATH: Recap of the usual aid provided to Outsiders. As well as some thoughts and details moving forward as a result of investigative efforts and details noted from prior log.
Godzilla | Legendary Monsterverse | Everlight
▶004: Fall of the Titan (CW: Blood, serious internal injury, broken bones)
[ Every Kaiju Godzilla has been present to battle seems to be a creature that goes out of its way to tick the big guy off. Kabus is no exception, the fell creature's meddling with the Outsiders' heads combined with its clear cruelty in how it treats sentient beings has Godzilla spoiling for this fight. The fact that the disdainful thing is in the same height class as him makes him that much more eager to fight a battle on his terms.
It goes his way for awhile, he's gotten pretty used to battling alongside the mass of other Outsiders by now. He's able to slip in at the right moments to draw Kabus or the mummies attention with a quick smack of his tail or slash from his elbow spikes, then make use of his teleport chip to pull back in time to avoid the mental attacks from Kabus and let another Outsider take over. But finally Godzilla's luck runs out and his confidence becomes his undoing, it was only a matter of time.
At a point in the fighting he moves forward and grabs the enemy by the head, wrenching the feline's jaws open whilst the humming sound of his atomic breath starts to build up. Before the attack fires off Godzilla accidentally looks the beast in the eyes and its all down hill from there. His attack goes off but rather than going into the creature's core it hits Kabus inn the chest as Godzilla recoils away, causing the kaiju to yowl in pained anger. Godzilla doesn't really notice.
Primal fear the likes of which he hasn't felt since he was far, far younger goes through him. He feels helpless and he knows that all that awaits in the future is pain and death, not just his own either. He'll be made to watch each person he's grown to know suffer and die before the enemy sends him to his end. Everything that happens next is a blur.
The kaiju pounces on Godzilla and the two go rolling through the sand. Maddened survival instinct takes over as Goji thrashes and by some chance he gets his feet underneath the enemy, kicking it off himself and allowing him to get to his feet. This doesn't last. Those tendrils come forward and arrest Godzilla's movement, holding him place as the beast once more pounces, both paws and its full weight hitting Godzilla in the chest. He goes down with a roar of anger, swiping at his foe, the tendrils grasp his arm and slam it back at an unnatural angle. There's a crack, and a loud "eeoooonk!" from Godzilla.
It gets worse of course. Kabus proceeds to slam itself down several times over on Godzilla's chest, producing another cracking noise as something in the big guy's sternum gives way. The roar of pain he lets out is strangled down to a hiss, blood sputtering out past his maw that very much isn't the enemy's. One of his lungs is punctured.
The big guy's entire world is nothing but pain and anger at that point, both at the enemy for wounding him and himself for getting into the situation. He barely registers the goings on as Ereshkigal is sent to his aid, all he knows is the attacks have stopped. They've stopped and he's still alive... and pissed.
Almost predictably for anyone that knows him Godzilla struggles to his feet, staggering from the pain but managing to keep upright thanks to his tail. A crocodilian hiss is the only noise he can manage at this point, sending more blood dripping from his maw, and though his right arm dangles uselessly at his side he's far from harmless. Something a mummy finds out as Godzilla grabs it by the arm and bodily hurts it into a mass of other undead. The big guy proceeds to slam his tail on the ground defiantly.
He's um... not leaving the fight. He should really stop. Someone deal with this crazy gecko? ]
▶ 005: Aftermath
A: [ Whilst Godzilla very much should be taking it easy by this point his useless arm has been put into as good a sling as could be managed in the field but his chest is still a bundle of pain and his breathing comes in labored heaves, he's a mess in short. But he steadfastly refuses to let the grateful crowd see him as anything more than the proud King of Titans that he thinks of himself as, walking through the town with his head held high despite the fact that each movement has his eyes twitching in a way any that know him will recognize as pure discomfort. When the Outsiders eventually get to the hotel set aside for them the big guy proceeds to... flop down into a sandbank with a pained huff. That's probably fine. ]
B(Human mode): [ Eventually Godzilla's stubborn tail has been wrangled and he can be found relaxing in the common room of one of the hotel. Not only has he allowed his arm to be splinted properly, he's also taken to his human form to conserve energy and space at the same time, though his taste in t-shirt is questionable as always. There's not much that can be done for the broken sternum and punctured lung besides allowing a fellow Outsider to help along the healing process, but right now the big guy has other things to worry about. Hell, he's worrying about them so much that he's barely even eating the food that's with him, just poking at it absently with a fork.
His mind is on other things. Like the fact that he almost died, or how after interceding on his behalf Ereshkigal, his FRIEND, is nowhere to be found. This isn't like the last time when a whole group of Outsiders went missing, he can't even message her on the network, her name is there but it can't be interacted with. Something is wrong. LILITH is, as ever, clueless, and nobody has any idea what to do. All Goji knows for certain? It's probably Ratio's fault.
Anyone entering the common room will have Godzilla make a non-committal grunt of greeting, not even looking up to see who it is. He's really out of it, sorry about that. ]
▶ 006: Wildcard|Memshare Requests
[ As ever hit me up with anything! If you'd like a Goji memory (either canon or pure head canon filth) let me know! Hit me up on discord or
004
Together with her attack, a wall of stone raises from the earth before them and protects Godzilla from any further attack. She takes the cage hanging from her hips and-- ]
𐎯𐎱𐎮𐏂𐎤𐎢𐏂 𐎧𐎨𐎬!
[ "Protect Him!"
Immediately, four of the give little ball of lights contained within the cage fly out and materialize into Gallû Spirits, surrounding Godzilla like a personal escort. Ereshkigal can't divert her attention away from the kaiju though, because it's slamming against the wall already and threatening to bring it down. All she can do is strengthen it until it either gives up or something else catches his attention. ]
Godzilla! Retreat while I hold it off!
no subject
Another part of him is minorly offended at her intent. Something he makes clear as he stomps forward to move past the Gallû Spirits to stand at her side. ]
𐎨 𐎣𐎮 𐎭𐎮𐏂 𐎱𐎸𐎭!
[ "I do not run!"
He has never left an ally let alone a treasured Friend stand against an enemy alone, no matter his own injuries, he's not about to start. The spines along his back flash neon pink as the humming that marks his charging breath attack builds up.
And the sound proceeds to die off as Godzilla makes a horrendous wheezing cough of a noise, staggering forward to a knee and just barely catching himself with his good arm. His vision goes white with pain as he coughs again but damn him if he doesn't shakily push himself back to his feet. ]
This is... merely a wound of the flesh. [ He pauses for a moment to turn his head to the side and spit out what can only be called an unreasonably amount of blood. He's fine. Honest. ] I shall not flee... not whilst those close to myself continue to battle.
[ This is rich coming from the gecko that often tells others the importance of not pushing themselves to the point of breaking... ]
no subject
But... ]
I will not be dissuading you, will I?
[ She turns her head and smiles a bit sadly at him. She thinks she could dissuade him if she really really pushed... But she also thinks he would take it very poorly. If he's angry at her because she did what she believes is right, she can handle it. That's not a problem. But if he's angry at himself... Well that's something else entirely.
And she doesn't want for him to be saddled with self-loathing and resentment towards himself for his perceived failures. ]
Very well. [She raises her spear once more and Godzilla will feel the Blessing of Kûr upon him. Mainly reinforcing his natural defenses and making his attacks the slightest bit stronger.] I shall block his attacks to the best of my abilities. But please promise to withdraw if you feel your life is endangered.
[ She would argue his life is endangered right now, but... Well, that's a compromise she's making to try and safeguard both his life and his pride. ]
no subject
In... indeed. You know my... nature... Friend Eresh... Ereshkigal. I shall not leave whilst... others fight. I am Godzilla.
[ He pauses, turns his head to the side, spitting out more blood. As he takes that moment to clear his airways he feels the now familiar invigoration that comes from Ereshkigal's Divine Blessing. It's not going to heal those bones anytime soon, but it's the right amount of strength to keep him going.
The big guy steps up to her and places his still good hand on her shoulder, his own expression a pensive wrinkling of the lines of his reptilian face. ]
A simple... simple wound of the flesh. If it... it one of a serious nature is gained, I would then withdraw.
[ Nevermind that Goji is leaking red from his mouth. Apparently that's not serious! ]
no subject
Aha! Lucy has spotted him and is on her way. Excellent. ]
I see Taryon is in need of assistance.
[ He is not. But she'd planned to go grant him her blessing and Lucy is far better equipped to handle Godzilla. She'll get him to withdraw, she's sure of it. But she may need to be alone to do that, especially since they have some very private feelings binding them. She may have difficulties carrying him on her lonesome though... Regardless of physical strength, he is a little bit for a single person to carry! But she'll come back to help her with that.
She raises a hand and the rocks grow into an even larger and thicker wall. The monster shouldn't be able to pierce through it even if she leaves for a couple minutes. ]
I'll be right back. [She will not, for reasons beyond anyone's control.] Please stay behind those rocks.
no subject
I... shall until... some strength returns. My... my thanks.
[ The big guy sighs, his entire body sagging. Normally he'd be loathed to show any kind of weakness like this but Ereshkigal is one of the few people he makes an exception for. As one of his closest Friends Godzilla trusts her implicitly, enough so that he's alright with her seeing how hurt he actually is. Besides, anyone could use a rest after this right? ]
One would do best to keep caution. The feline is... a mind manipulator, yes? Do not allow it to meet eyes with your own.
004
Oh, hell. [The mutter is mostly for himself as he starts wading through the battlefield, kicking mummies and avoiding his fellow combatants as best he can. He swings at the kaiju and misses, but manages to get it to back off enough to put himself between it and Godzilla to try to start to herd him off the battlefield, probably unsuccessfully.]
We have to go! [He shouts in his best combat-medic voice, designed to be heard over the roar of battle.] You can't keep fighting, let's go!
no subject
I... am... Godzilla!
[ He slams his tail against the ground and continues to keep himself in the fight. Once again a humming comes off his body and his spines begin to glow as he tries to charge up his attack, despite his labored breathing. ]
Wounds of... the flesh... little more. I still possess the capacity for battle.
no subject
[Ratchet backs off a little when he sees Godzilla charging up for something, not wanting to get caught in the crosshairs but unwilling to leave Godzilla like this.]
I'll pick you up and carry you if I have to, though I'd rather not. Come on!
no subject
[ He lets out a snort of smoke directly in Ratchet's direction. That glow across his spines has spread up to his gills now, even his eyes. He might actually get the shot off this time! Except he's uh, still staring down Ratchet instead of the kaiju. ]
I have... experienced worse... this is nothing. Now move from my path!

[Ratchet sure does get the hell out of the way, though.]
You've got one last shot, then we're going back to medical, you hear me?
no subject
[ For an incredibly wounded individual Godzilla sure does have a lot of energy. He draws himself up straight and slams his tail on the ground, that pink glow on him pulsing a bit harsher for half of a second as a form of warning. ]
I am Godzilla. [ His mouth parts open to bare his teeth, the blood dripping past them taking on an eerie quality thanks to the glow from deep in his throat lighting it. ] A singular warning. Attempt such insult again once you have grown wary of existence.

All sound around her stops. Only the long, eerie pitch that accompanies dead silence fills her ears. Everything that isn't directly in front of her blacks out to leave a singular tunnel from herself to where her dearest friend fell.
"It's happening again. Someone I love is-"
His name erupts out of her mouth as a war cry. ]
GOJIIIIIIIIIIII!!
[ Her voice cracks and collapses into a furious and terrified scream at the top of her lungs. She bolts toward Godzilla and Kabus in a full sprint, tentacles bursting out of the back of her suit and pitching forward to further hurl her body across the sand until she can get to to him. To that bloodied mass of teeth and scale still so defiantly lurching up and trying to fight. ]

So he turns on his heel and smacks the Kabus away with the side of his tail, interrupting it midleap and ensurring it has no choice but to focus on battle with other Outsiders now that it's out of position. Goji doesn't really get any satisfaction from this though, the sudden movement further jostles what's broken in him and has yet more blood bubbling out of his maw as he tries to catch his breath.
The big guy perhaps unsurprisingly ends up on a knee again, just barely holding himself up with his good arm and tail. His words coming in halting gasps. ]
I am... well enough to continue... there has been... much worse injury to myself before this.
no subject
BULLSHIT you're "well!"
[ It's all she can do not to start hyperventilating. She just has to focus. Focus on healing him, on helping his bones knit back together. One of her hands trembles as it reaches toward his chest.
Where she heard that godawful, gut-wrenching crack. ]
Don't move! I can fix this...I'll take care of you!
no subject
P-Peace... peace, Kaede... this is not enough to send me to my end.
[ She's going to be mad about this... he'll just have to deal with it later, he can't let both of them stay in the middle of this fight now that she's healing him. He leans himself as carefully as he can against her hand as his tail coils securely around her.
And then they're gone and reappearing a good few feet away from the fight. Though well used to his teleporting by now he's not used to it while being barely able to breath. The big guy starts to let out a hacking, rolling cough, a spatter of blood escaping past his teeth to stain the sand.
He takes it in good humor though, shaking his head as he wipes his mouth off on his good arm. ]
Apol... apologies. Distance seems a thing of prudence at this time, y-yes...?
no subject
Don't talk so much. Just focus on breathing. Slowly. Not too deeply either, since you've punctured a lung, it seems like.
[ Her expression is stern, but her voice is much lower and gentler than before. ]
no subject
Aah... indeed? This would not be the first occurrence within this millennium...
[ An unsteady chuckle rumbles up in his throat. He ended up in a similar sorry state after Ghidorah dropped him from near orbit, if not for the intervention of Mothra...
His tail curls that much close around her in a protective gesture, his head suddenly lifting up as he looks around to confirm that the kaiju and its mummified minions aren't close by. One dear one giving their life protecting his was more than enough for the next few centuries... ]

Woah, you got to hang back. Or you're gonna die.
no subject
He bares his bloodied teeth in a snarl, the spines across his back pulsing pink in a warning display, and he slams his tail against the ground angerly. ]
I... am... Godzilla! I do not... "hang back" over... minor injuries.
[ He can barely get the words out between labored breaths, but damn if hhe doesn't wrench his arm away and stagger forward. ]
Seek to... command me... and I shall end you alongside the foe.
no subject
And I'm Ultraman. Since we're flexing calling cards and all that.
It's not a command, big guy. It's concern.
no subject
Granted, he's not taking anything well right now. ]
Bah. [ He snorts out a plume of smoke directly in Ken's face. Ultraman's face? Either way, sorry. ] Hold concern for... yourself...!
[ COUGH COUGH, and he just spit out some blood. Charming. At least he's polite enough to wipe his maw off with his good arm. ]
I am still capable of combat.
no subject
I mean, I can do both. I think we're all concerned.
So what's your plan for the bleeding?
no subject
[ The big guy rolls his good shoulder and steps past Ultraman, locking his eyes onto the enemy kaiju. ]
If you have intent of being of use than one would suggest you make to attack as well. Elsewise you would do well to stay from my path.
[ Big guy's still wheezing like there's no tomorrow but at least he seems to be getting the whole, coughing blood thing, handled... kinda. ]
