Avalon shielded the child as Berserk fired her eye beams at the lady, making her fly through the area and slam the tree trunks. The ninja lifted his head to see Berserk giving him a helping hand and his worried expression instantly turned to joy. Without wasting time, Avalon performed some quick hand signs and clapped his hands together; his arms would behind to release a thin layer of water that ended up coating them entirely. As he opened his hands, he 'pulled' out a sword made of the same water now covering his body. He followed up after Berserk's attack and rushed to the lady who appeared to be stuck within the tree trunk and impaled her right in the abdomen.
The lady jolted slightly before slumping over Avalon's shoulder and turning into smoke, dropping only the odd crystal with her Coin inside. As Avalon leaned over to pick it up, two women fell from the top of the tree and piled up on Avalon. Luckily, the man was quick to evade them this time and backflip his way back to the child and Berserk's side.
"There's more of them?!" Avalon grunted.
"I told you there's a lot of them!" The child cried out. "You have to escape!"
"No can-do, kiddo. I don't run!" Avalon turned to Berserk. "Well, Berserk, I hope you don't mind playing rough!" The two ladies morphed their bodies so that their arms formed into the identical weapons that the others were using before rushing towards Avalon and Berserk. "I'll take the one on the left and stick close to the kid!"
One of the ladies sliced Berserk's arm and kicked her in her stomach before using her mouth to bite down hard on her shoulder. She shook her head in a futile attempt to rip Berserk apart but ended up just tearing her shirt. As she struggled to do major damage to Berserk, the woman ended up scratching Berserk's back with her sharp arm in an attempt to pull her to the floor.
As Avalon braced himself to fight another one of the mysterious creatures, he noticed the child run away in a hurry to Bernkastel and Bage. Well, at least I don't have to worry about the kid now...
The child attacking Cross flew off thanks to his wind and landed on the floor lifeless for a few seconds before rising back up to his feet. He did not show any signs of pain or damage as he stared blankly at Cross. The boy rushed at the Magic-user once again, but this time, slipped under him to appear behind him. In an instant, he jumped on Cross's back and grabbed on to him as he slashed and scratched at Cross's skull/head. The child growled and began to chew on his robe.
Petrovic flew to the side when Spina punched him and remained still for a moment before moving back to his feet. One of the Officer's arm shifted back to normal as he took aim at Spina with his hand. In the center of his palm, the tip of a diamond started to form until it took the shape of a thin and slender crystal.
"Bang."
The crystal fired towards Spina, aiming and going right through his leg. Strangely enough, Petrovic was the only one that was able to use his form differently compared to the others. Since he was the only one who used a gun, his body seemed to imitate that somehow. Yet, it was short-lived thanks to Gogeta's interference. As Spina crashed on to Petrovic, the latter skidded on the floor. His attention shifted to Brachi for a brief moment, ready to attack her, until he saw the raging sphere of energy hurling towards him. He barely reacted on time as he was blasted away by Gogeta's Big Bang Attack, leaving behind a crystal with his Coin inside. It managed to bonk Brachi on the side of the head.
Meanwhile, as Zenta gathered as much knowledge as he could on the mysterious enemies, Gogeta's sudden rush flung back the two men attacking him. The beast flew back but landed on his feet in a very refined manner as if the push barely bothered him. The two men were right back to rush at the beast who seemed more distracted on Gogeta's antics and approach to the fight. Without even staring at the two beings attacking him, he swiftly dodged and redirected attacks as he did before, this time, paying attention to the Fusion. Once Gogeta unleashed his Big Bang Attack on both Spina and Petrovic, the intention became very clear.
I see, that is the game he wishes to play. Very well then...
In a nimble action, Zenta instantly gripped onto the arm of one of his attackers and forced it down against his knee, bending it backward from the elbow which ended up snapping the appendage clean off. The Beast now held on to the javelin-like arm of the man, surprised that it chipped off like a rock. Zenta hopped in the air and slammed both his feet against the man's chest, pinning him to the ground for a moment as he turned to face Gogeta.
He tossed the marble arm in the air before roundhouse kicking the sharp arm to Gogeta. It flew wildly through the forest at incredible speeds before slamming against Gogeta's stretched out arm, impaling him right through his bicep. Zenta turned away from the fusion to pay attention to his attackers, using the same leg to effortlessly kick the one on the floor towards the one running at him.
By the time the scared child arrived at Bernkastel and Bage's side, he seemed out of breath and clutching the mysterious Bottle tightly in his little hands. However, upon realizing Bernkastel and the reputation that followed her, he instantly backed away from the Witch.
"Gwaah! The Blue Devil is here?!" He held up the bottle towards Bernkastel like a sword as a means to defend himself. He walked closer to Bage. "S-Stay away from me! I got this bottle and I'm not afraid to use it on you, you monster! Back off!"
