The flying Monster...

Katachi choked on the thick sand. He moved away in a straight line.trying to use his footsteps as a bearing for his direction. The sand covered up his footsteps. making that task difficult. He was trying to get out of the sand.

Tobakado felt the creature shift. It was turning over. there was hardly any footholds for grab. only the tiny hole he made. He didn't have much time. he flipped his sword, grabbing it by the tip of the blade in his left hand and used the guard as a hook on the side of the wing. If by any stroke of luck he would hurt himself, but stay on.

when the monster shifted jade locked her finger in between the plating of the armor of the beast and held on for as long as she could just as the monster came back up right she lost her girp and slid down the tail acting on instinct alone stabed one of her swords into the monster massive tail and began slashing at the monsters armor with all her might trying to make some what of an indention to hold onto

Omega continued to fire arrows at it hoping to hit it the second it lowers it altitude. 'Come on Katachi, Keep firing!'

The monster finished it's flip, by a stroke of luck both of them managed to stay on. Albeit Tobakado ruined his left hand to stay on. It was better than the alternative. Omega's arrows proved inaccurate through the thick sand. What few arrows made it to the creature even less actually stuck, which might help Tobakado and Jade to handholds. Omega was also risking hitting his impromptu friends. Katachi's move was actually a better idea. A clear shot meant an accurate shot.

The Lao-Tian flapped once and it was at it's maximum altitude, It dove again making it's tail do a whip effect. This time it was lined up from Omega and Katachi. It was planning to drag itself along on the floor. Making dodging nearly impossible. But fortunately, that's what it planned to do. It was diving right now, Omega and Katachi had a chance to run.

Damage
Tobakado: 12%
Jade: 6%

Tobakado was launched into the air when it flapped. He took this opportunity to fall faster to it's head. This way, he could poke out it's eyes or something. But the task at hand was to manage to land on it when it leveled out, Tobakado would try to steer himself to the middle of the monster.

Katachi finally made it out of the sandstorm, where he had a clear shot. He pulled out both his revolvers and aimed setadily, although he had 0% chance to hit the sacs he saw where tobakado was sawing, and shot there with fire founds 4 times.

as the tail whiped throwining jade much farther up as the monster dove. She did the same trying to do a kamikaze dive with her swords above her head trying to reach the monster as it would level out to the ground hopefully doing a little damege. to the massive beast or at lest take a good chunck out of it for a foot hold.

Omega cleared her eyes from the sandstorm. She could not do anything till the monster lowered towards the ground. she had to leave it to the 'gunslinger' as he had more accuracy.

As the Lao Tian dove Katachi's shots landed right where he wanted them to. The creature's scar that Tobakado made became larger and it reacted to it, it's first sign of pain since the fight. It resumed it's course pulling up to drag along the ground, losing speed but not enough to return to the sky after attacking. It opened it's mouth taking in a lot of sand in an attempt to eat Omega and Katachi. Katachi if he ran for his life, could dive into safety, Omega however might need to improvise a new escape.

Tobakado and Jade landed hard on the Lao shan dealing massive falling damage, After all they did fall about 3 miles, However the good news is that Tobakado was near the neck and Jade was near the wings.

Damage
Tobakado: 42%
Jade: 36%

Katachi ran and shot the last four fire rounds into it's mouth. At the very last second, he dove for his life, trying not to let the monster eat him. Honestly he was scared for his life. He never even seen a kut ku before let alone this. back in his lands Kut ku's were considered dragons of myth. In these lands, the Lao Tian Lung was a creature of myth and the Kut ku was as commonplace as felynes.

Tobakado landed face first. He had to concentrate on the next few crucial seconds to balance himself and his basic motor functions, his vision blurred, and it was diffulculd to even try to move. He had suffered a concussion. Through sheer willpower he Crawled forward, despite his condition. All his senses were overpowering him. the wind howling in his ears. The pain in the cut in his hands made his other hand hurt, making him almost lose the sword. He pushed himself. This monster had to go down.

jade fell hard dropping on the massive creature swords cuting into the monster but had no effect she could barely see from the blood of a long deep gash right above her left eye as she realized that she was bleeding her instict kicked in and she went into a rage were she started to become numb she started stabing as hard as she could into the beast in the exaat same spot every time each strick she let out a blood boilling scream as if she was trying to cut off the monsters wing she did not even care if she died anymore she just want the great monster to suffer as she struck purple gas waffting from her blades.

Omega saw the Lao Tian diving down from the sky. it was heading towards her, she knew she wouldnt have time to dive out of the way. She turned around facing away from the monster running as fast as she could hoping it would grind to a halt before it reached her.

The Lao Tian hit the ground, losing much speed. It made it's way as far as it could to still make airborne speeds. The good news with Omega is that she ran out of the range of the mouth as the Lao Tian pulled out. The bad news was that the bottom half smashed into Omega. Sending her underneath. The massive length grinded her under the surface of the sand. Katachi was hit with a wave of sand, he was lucky, it did the least damage of all of them. It pulled up, barely fast enough to keep afloat. It slowly gained altitude. Making way for another attack. The attacks of Jade into the scar opened the scar in the armor finally spilling some blood. The poision however was like a single beesting to a bear. It was not potent enough to poision. Tobakado was now near the chin of the creature. The slow ascent made it possible for everyone to get a reprieve. To attack or to heal, their choice.

Damage
Tobakado: 42%
Jade: 36%
Omega: 30%
Katachi: 10%

As katachi landed, there was a wall of sand smashing into him. It hut but it was bearable. He got up and reloaded his pistols quickly with piercing rounds. He aimed at the sac that was damaged and let loose a barrage of bullets. Once unloaded he would unload and shoot again.

Tobakado slipped a little every time the creature shifted directions. He was making no progress. he needed help but Jade was too blind with rage and too far away to realize his problems. He tried nevertheless to try to climb forward. He was getting exhausted from overexertion.

jade finally saw some of the damage she had done and stabed with both swords again at the hole her body still pumping with aggression she quickly poped a potion from her bag an drank alittle of it then with the suddent burst of renewal she started throwing blow after blow at the wound of the monster and all the sudden she seen tobakado out of the corner of her eye and said "i have wounded this massive thing if you can try to get to me we can take it down togather".

Lay underneath the sand Omega use her arms to dig her way out of the sand. When she was clear of the sand the sun blared down on her face blinding her. From the force of the monster she was badly hurt. She grabbed a Mega potion and drank it. revitalising!

The lao Tian continued it's ascent. Katachi's shots made the sac that was injured change colors around the impact, surely a sign of damage. Tobakado remained near the neck, to attack the head might be more effective than Jade's attempt to drill into it. Of all the progress that Jade made, it was about the equivalent of a bleeding scratch to a hunter. As it reached the top of its trajectory, It spun slowly around and changed it direction to Katachi. Once it was above katachi, it spit out a massive spitwad of sand that it just ate moments before. Even if he dodged, the resulting displacement of sand would probably catch up to him. The sand was adhesive with saliva and would stick to anyone it hit, doing an entrapped snowman effect. Omega was far enough to dodge the displacement.


Damage
Tobakado: 42%
Jade: 16%
Omega: 0%
Katachi: 10%

Katachi ran, away from the boulder of sand. He reloaded some level 2 pierce shots and unloaded both clips, for a total of 8 shots, into the ball hoping to break it, as well as hit the Creature behind it. He dove when the ball hit, It made a thunderous boom as the sand displaced quickly into katachi's position, He tried to stand up. It was troublesome as the saliva tried to glue him to the ground. the sand covered him up to his chest. his arms were buried. he was stuck, he held onto his revolvers. and tried to wiggle his way out.

Tobakado's concussion made it impossible for him to hear, Jade. He was acting on willpower, not rationalization. As the Lao tian leveled out, he moved up, Now near the ears. He started to use his sword as a prop to propel himself forward and stabilize him to finally get to the eyes, where he would stab them, But the Lao Tian spat out a sandball. Making him lose his balance and when he balanced himself he would try again.

jade saw tobakado and knew he could not hear her .so she stared going closer to him crawling closere and closer but it semed like it would take forever to get there she still wanted to play it safe

Omega swiftly weaved in and out of the flying sand debris, that came from the monsters mouth, hoping to avoid all of it while making a dash for the underbelly/sacs. This, she hoped was the softest area of the dragon. Whilst making a dash she dipped her arrows in a container which contained Close Range Coating.

The sticky sand left katachi chest-deep in sticky sand. He would need help getting out. The Sand also displaced ankle hight to Omega. It wouldn't hinder her movement, but it would be annoying. like gum on the bottom of a shoe. As the arrow hit the sac, It ruptured. Explosively. There was a lot of helium in there and it was heated almost to ignition point. The arrow did just that. It exploded back on Omega doing massive damage. How much damage was how well she could react and protect herself. It was propelled into the air from the explosion. It was now flapping its wings furiously to keep altitude. But there was something much more valuble: Food. It quickly turned around and went to eat katachi.

Damage
Tobakado: 42%
Jade: 16%
Omega: ?%
Katachi: 33%

Katachi tried to wiggle himself free, he was making progress, but it wasn't enough. He would need help or risk getting eaten. He yelled at omega, "Hey help me Dammit! I cannot move! heeeeellllllp!" But his cries were muted by the explosion of the sac. He tried to yell again but this time the Lao Tian was heading his way, mouth agape. He could only yell in hysteria.

Tobakado made some progress and when the explosion resulted, He was flung in the air and landed right where he wanted to. Right in between the eyes. He took his sword and shoved it at it's eye. hoping to drive it to the ground.

jade could barely see tobakado s feet but as she grew closer an closer to him but as the monster dove she heard the screams ofthe gunslinger she knew she had to do something or he would die so she saw the monster level out with the ground and was heading straight for the gunslinger and with a quick burst of speed she ran and dived off the beast as close as she could to here commrade to try and free him

Omega ducked at the sound of the explosion. This was just natural instinks. As she carried on running she felt something on her ankle. it was kind of sticky. she grabbed an arrow and started to hack away trying to free her self from the sticky substance.

Tobakado's sword was driven into the monster's eye, it dove into the ground causing a sudden stop and shaking Tobakado off. The monster skidded to a haltright in front of katachi. open for attack, The Explosion did some damage to Omega but was minimal since he ducked. Omega was easily cut free from the sand, but katachi is still rooted stuck Neck deep.

Damage
Tobakado: 50%
Jade: 16%
Omega: 15%
Katachi: 33%

Tobakado paid no heed to Katachi as he ran at the Lao Tian. He jumped and climbed up, grabbing his sword and drove it again into it's bad eye.

Katachi still could not free himself
