Cecile inched closer cautiously.

"We're here to help," she said as she scanned the house. "Is anyone else with you?"

He turned and covered the hole they just came through with a gummy bear barricade. Izzy tugged at Cecile's shirt, "He's really strong, maybe he can help us save the others." He grinned at the man, "We're not monsters silly, Izzy is Izzy, and this is Cece and Mr. Shield." He pointed respectively to the members. "What's your name mister?"

Bulwark follow Cecile closely, watching the man defeat one of the monsters. Bulwark spoke
"pretty good fighter aren't you. I would hope we weren't monsters considering we were sent to help the survivors".

Amanita ran as fast as she could through the desolate town. She has went through this kind of situation before, but with cops. With each house she enters, no matter what it is: refrigerator, table, bookshelf, or drawer, she'll pull them down as an attempt to slow her pursuers down. With monsters, however, is entirely different. Even though it slowed them down, but only for a brief second before demolishing through it like it was nothing.

She wanted to rest, but she can't stop now, not while a horde of beasts are on her tail. She found an abandoned warehouse, possibly the same one where she, Vi, and Magnus first found them. As she's inches close to the warehouse, Amanita felt a sudden and very sharp pain in her chest that caused her to fall to the ground. The pain was lingering and agonizing, every saliva spit was over-saturated with her own blood. Her lungs couldn't handle much of that intense running despite that one-month training. To be honest, she doesn't remember how many miles she ran so far. She must have ran over her limit and decided to quit on her.

With what little energy she had, Amanita limped her way into the warehouse and closed the gates. She can feel her veins slowly pulsating in her gaseous toxins, glowing brightly and dangerously. She fell to her knees in the middle of the warehouse and wait until the monstrous horde arrives and surround her. The pain is still aching in her chest, and her bloody saliva is still dripping from her mouth. Waiting for the right moment to go out with a bang. During this time, she'll make her announcement to her teammates.

[Reporting to all parties... *cough* ... this is Amanita. I've- *heavy cough* *spit* I've lured... most of the remaining monsters away to a single location... the warehouse... if- *cough* if I somehow survive this, then it's less to deal with, but please... don't come for me unless I say so. *cough* Amanita signing out. Over.]

Vi was prepared to fight now. She didn't feel more pain on her body and she was almost done killimg those small monsters. Only a few of them were left, tho she had bigger problems now... aside from that huge monster that appeared before magnus, a similar face appeared to make their situation even more complicated. It was Draou attacking now, for some reason...

She frowned, that guy clearly just went back right when she tried to help him. She wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't for him. He decided to teleport them and ended up with Vi having broken bones and making the whole situation a complete chaos. She was angry... tho her thoughts were interrupted by a message, it was Amanita. Vi thought she was still at the top of the roof where she left her along with Magnus. But now... she sounded really wounded, and as a sort of good-bye, she said what seemed to be her last words. Vi stood silent for a second. Amanita was in HER team, the team SHE was leading... Vi felt a sort of responsibility. She thought about ruahing outside to go help her but that would just make things worse for Magnus. If he wouldn't have teleported them... she could've stayed close to Amanita probably could've protected her better and finish their missions how they were supossed to. But no... nothing ever goes according to the plan... and this time it was someone they knew the one screwing things up.

Vi walked up to what seemed to be Draou as she said to Magnus and frank "Finish off that monster fast and try to go check out on Amanita... if she's still alive... I'll keep this guy busy" as soon as she finished and without hesitation, she used 3 of her legs to attack Draou, aiming for the head, chest and legs. Her eyes glowing in an intense red as the black stream lines of her face went pitch back.

Staggering up with no noticable injuries, Frank started wobbling around, similar, if not the same as Zui Quan, or Drunken Fist.
"I'll take you on anyday. Cmon, you sonuva"-censored-"

"Theman?" The little boy giggled, intrigued why the man's name ended with man like Superman or Batman. "What a silly superhero name, hi Theman." He raised his hand up for a high five as he nodded, mirroring the man's large grin. "Sure, let's be buddies."

Cecile managed to hear Amanita's plan. Was she trying to forcefully activate herself like with Pumpkinface?

The medic was confused. The warehouse? She turned to face Theman. "You're the first guy we found to be quite alive," she replied dryly. "There is one more house though that we have not checked. Everyone clear the house and get back into the truck, we're heading back."

[Status update: we've retrieved the survivor. Vi, what is Amanita doing?] She asked nearly immediately as she began to start the truck.

Magnus managed to hear Amanita's plan, and as he tore into the oncoming horde of beasts, he yelled to Cecile over the comms, [She's gonna lure most of the beasts to the edge of the town! She doesn't sound too good though, we're gonna have to help her if she can't get back!]

Signing off of the comms, Magnus was filled with dread, he'd barely known Amanita up until the month's worth of training, and now she might die trying to help the rest of them? He hated the thought of it...

Vi could easily feel where the man had teleported to. Her senses allowed her to know that he was behind her. Without looking behind, she dodged the attack by moving a bit to the left and at the same time using the leg she kept next to her, she attacked the man aimig at his chest as she waited for the other 3 to come back.

Bulwark nodded at the man and said
"theman, nice to meet you, my names bulwark, or err... Mr.Shield according to the little one".

Bulwark looked to Cecile as she called for them to get back to the truck. He began to move bashing whatever creatures came his way. He looked back to the others and said
"lets hurry we need to get back to the others, and help them".
