Quote from Aquila

Edward clutched his head in fear and curled up into a ball. "Master Edward you must hook yourself in! It is the safest solution!" Orwell commanded, staring at the monster in awe. The boy nodded his head slightly and quickly scurried over, wrenching off his gas mask. He tucked Hullo into his hoodie pocket and the mech installed its driver into the seat, the helmet closing around the boy's head and the spine screwing into his back. With Edward safely connected, Orwell scooped up as many people as he could and began running, using his rocket boosters to push himself forward.

Yogi, shrugging at the others leaving, decided to retreat as well.
Jogging at a brisk pace(More like speeding), he began to head out of the way.

The words of a semi-talking plant, a dead researcher, and a 12 year old. That's what they were following.

Typical.

While Hullo was a majestic creature and an astonishment, the astonishment began to fade as he realized his restricted vocabulary. Even so, he was kind of cute, right?

When the giant creature literally emerged from the mountain, Nikolai Jr. was stunned. He decided there wasn't much he could do in the face of such a threat but run, and that he did, continuing on his way while screaming profanities at it, "You fuckers all looked the same to me!" He yelled.

Elyss climbed onto Orwell and continued her song, the buff would last as long as she sings and hopefully it would last until everyone was safe.

Horace was in the midst of talking about the elemental creature,when in the distance the mountain began to vanish. In its place stood an immense creature. Horace knew they had to escape before this thing gets to them. At that moment he was being scooped up by Orwell. Horace did not refuse Orwell, he knew it would be the safest and fastest way away from this creature.

The izardle saw the massive ball of arcane energy flying towards it and climbed down from its overview. It surged forward and collided with the ball, its arms grabbing the energy as if it were a malleable substance. The beast roared and the energy started to evaporate in its hands, as if it was simply being absorbed by the titanic creature.

As it finished devouring the attack, the colossal monster looked out towards the party. Seeing the party sprinting for their lives, it rose its hands in their direction. They felt their muscles seem to grow heavier, Orwell the only one completely unaffected. However, Elyss' song counteracted whatever it was the creature was doing to their bodies, and they continued their retreat.

The monster seemed confused that its attack had not worked. Enraged, it roared. The earth seemed to shake with the powerful vibrations of the beast's voice as the dark dust billowed around it. The dust flooded forward, reducing everything into nothingness. The party ran as the dust chased them, compounding eradication upon itself. In front of them, a vast ocean stretched forward. Several small islands could be seen further out. Standing on the beach, the ocean before them and the dust wall approaching quickly, they had to decide what to do next.

For the whole duration of the march, Mercy remained quiet, kind of zoning out. It seemed like even she didn't quite feel like talking.

The appearance of yet another gigantic monster and approaching wave of destruction however, was enough to 'wake her up'. "Oh this is bad..." The girl repeatedly turned her head towards the dust wall, then back at the ocean. There was no time for them to swim, yet that seemed to be the only available escape route. "Ok, what do we...Ahh, heck...Iz, give me a hand would ya!?" Saying that, Mercy kneeled and slammed the ground with open palms. Blue sparks crackled all around and a web of black lines shot out from point of contact. Some slithered in water's direction, the rest went towards the relentless wave of death. The ground shook even more, as the corruption reached it destination and a gigantic wall of steel began to emerge between the party and incoming Izardale's attack.

Meanwhile the coast became restless, as not only sand but even water was being sucked in by corruption to become another metal construction. A bridge began to unfold, heading towards the nearest island, supportive beams connecting it to the bottom every few meters. Throughout the whole process, Mercy hasn't got up, channeling as much energy through the ground as possible to fasten up the process, and strengthen her creations. It seemed like the more metal was around them, the faster the rest of it appeared in an exponential manner. "Go!"

Isabelle looked disappointed when the creature absorbed her attack. She let out a sigh and turned to aid Mercy in crafting the bridge. Knocking twice on the Obelisk's shell, Isabelle motioned towards the bridge "Alright big guy, let's go."

Elyss continued her chant, she had to give all that she had in order for her allies to get to safety, if needs be she would stop her song and immediately switch to Citadum Annexia. Right now however, Mercy needed the extra brain power to concentrate on her ability. The porcelain woman grabbed onto the Obelisk, making sure she herself were securely in place.

"Immediately Madam Isabelle, hold on tightly now." He scooped up Mercy and began running down the bridge. "I must give you my sincerest gratitude Miss Mercy." The AI commented about the bridge. "I may not have been able to join you otherwise."

"Thank you very much." Edward's voice crackled over the com system.

Yogi, seeing the bridge, began to "jog" over it as well. (like a miniature lightning bolt)

The party arrived on the island. A small forest covered the expanse of land, preventing them from seeing further ahead. Behind them, the wall of dust settled near the beach. The titanic creature turned away, no longer interested in the group of beings it had just attempted to kill.

To either side, the coast ran along a calm beach while in front the island led into only the forest. The waters behind them were calm and clear, revealing coral beneath the surface. Several fish swam about, revealing that not all life was lost.

Horace stepped forward onto the island, more than ecstatic the titanic monster was no longer pursuing. He looked around and noticed the clear blue water full of fish and coral.

"This, this is a nice change of pace, It's relaxing"

He turned towards the party and looked them to make sure that no one was lost in their escape, Everyone seemed accounted for.

"So now that we are away from the creature, what's the next step, I suppose we just go forward from here".

Mano makes his way out of Orwell's grip. "I'm all for gauging where we're actually at first. Since we're near water, I'm guessing we're near that water wall thing, right? Let's get a good grasp on the direction we need to go, and we can split into teams. A team to scout around, and a team to try making a short term base here. We have water that may be safe for drinking, and fish that may be safe for eating. Orwell, think you can check those out for us? It would mean we have a potential food source aside from the monsters, and we can move around with less concerns. I mean, I can't even tell the last time I ate or drank something, and we keep getting into fights and there doesn't seem to be night or anything."

Isabelle hopped off of the Obelisk, not exactly enthusiastic with spending more time doing nothing. She turned to Elyss, "And what are your thoughts?"
