Final: Blue

[voidtreckermods]

The siege continues. Crabs, giant squids, shark head beasts, all continue out of the sea. The islanders are in good spirits though and everyone pulls their weight. Traps are set, settlements defended. Some of the older islanders have taken it upon themselves to make sure everyone is fed and rested and so in quiet moments those who cannot fight are sent with packs of foods to give to those patrolling and guarding.

Those voidtreckers who don't know how to rest may find themselves practically kidnapped by a well meaning islander and forced to eat and sleep.

All the time the sky is getting darker, the seas rougher.

Day Ten

Just after dawn on day ten the storm breaks. Crashing thunder, lightning and roiling seas. The water swirls and seems to rise, it is rising, up and up a wave so high that you may fear that when it breaks it could swallow the island whole.

But it doesn't break, instead twists, taking form. A huge towering beast made of water and sand. A hand swipes down over a patch of beach, a wall of water to knock any fighters off their feet.

Around the same time, those not busy being attacked by the water monster will notice their SCA's light up and a screen appear. They might hear some familiar voices.

It seems there is more than fighting a monster to be done!

Beacon Building

Assuming the information is given those of the island will suggest the best place for a beacon to be built- the cliffs are the highest point on the island.

It will be hard work lugging wood up there in a storm, not to mention actually building and lighting a fire as cloud is low, rain is heavy and the wind is high.

He growled. He had hold of the arm but there wasn't anything he could do about the leg without twisting himself and getting in the way of everyone's attacks. The Black Lion tried to tug the creature forward, shaking his head to try and off balance it in an attempt to abort the swing of the foot, but whether that worked or not remained to be seen.

All he could do was keep it's front occupied. He slashed at it with his front paws, clinging to the arm hard enough to near chew through the thing.

He knew he was as big a target as the creature was, the others needed to hurry... Time was running out.

[loveandduty]

All Venus could do herself was unleash another attack at the leg, hoping that it might help cause it to fall over or something so they could potentially have a better chance to get much bigger hits in.

She had also made sure to keep her distance back.

Between Sleepy Ash and Minako they succeeded in to knock it off balance.

Down it fell, crashing into the sand with a splash, sending waves outwards and then inwards as the water returned to its body. The tide was strong and sent some crabs spinning off towards the sea.

The creature is still alive though and it lashes out at anyone nearby, trying to grab them in watery limbs.

[sobothersome]

The monster fell and the Black Lion was left breathing hard, blood tricking from the side of it's mouth as it backed away slowly, it's limbs trembling, seemingly all it can do it keep itself on it's feet...

And then blue white light enveloped it and the Lion vanished, shrinking down until all that was left was a small, black cat sprawled out asleep in the sand beside the surf.

[bethereprompto]

Prompto had been firing rounds at the creature and the other crabs that might be coming in around it. He'd been stunned to see a big black lion appear and take on the beast, so he's been careful with his shots not to hurt the ally.

His eyebrows jerked upward when he saw the transformation. Crap! That was Maru!

He dashed forward, dodging attacks and whatever else was going on around them. He scooped up the kitten and stuck it in his hoodie's pouch. Keeping a protective hand on the outside of the pocket, he promised, "I've got you Maru! You're safe, kitty."

Ignis was tossed off of the creature and fell. His back hit a solid wall but luckily some water had cushioned his fall. Slowly he applied a healing potion and saw Prompto running. The thing looked like it might go for him and whatever he was now cradling in his arms, so he swiftly half slid and half climbed down.

As the blonde held onto whatever it was (because Ignis was focused on the water giant) he half pushed the marksman out of the way before pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. Readying his lance again, Ignis leaped up onto a watery limb that had come down for the blonde.

Sticking his lance in, he tried to find purchase. If it had a face, it was getting stabbed.

[loveandduty]

Venus felt a little nervous about the whole trying to grab her thing. She had also been aware there were others trying to attack, so the blonde decided to at least keep her distance for the time being as she planned her next moves.

Noticing another going in for a closer attack gave Minako the idea to perhaps try the same, so she moved making sure to avoid where the other was attacking, leaping as high as she could over in incoming limb and getting as close and personal as she was able to in order to for once use the sword she had on her from the battled before she found she could trasnform to attempt to slash at the limb just to keep it from going to the other and instead focusing on her.

Hoping it is okay to tag into this super late?

Xion waited for a moment when there were no Somebodies close to the thing that could get hurt. But it was taking too long. So she would just use two spells. The first "THUNDAGA!" was a bunch of lightning all aimed at the water creature. Which shouldn't het anyone else, unless, well, they were in or on the water. Because Electricity. So she focused all she had into the second spell. "CURAGA!!!!!!!" she shouted, washing green healing energy over every one that wasn't the monster they were fighting, in the general vicinity. And then she collapsed to all fours, because she'd been going non-stop since they arrived, pretty much.

[voidtreckernpcs]

The creature lashed out towards the lion that now was a kitten but Ignis, Minako and Xion's attacks distracted it. The electricity made it withe on the sand, sending more water splashing out towards all those around.

Ignis's spear hit its face, or at least where a face would be if this were not a monster of the sea and sand and Minako slashed out at a limb.

It thrashed on the ground, sending a wave out towards Xion and trying to knock the others off it's limbs. It is clear it is floundering though, it has made no attempt to get back to its feet.

Piccolo took to the air when it looked like the water monster was going to kick everything on the beach. He leapt high and hovered at the peak of his jump, using as little ki as possible to dodge while he charged his attack. He watched as the others maneuvered and covered for one another, particularly distracted by the lion shrinking into a smaller form.

Waiting for his attack seemed par for the course for him but that didn't mean he had to like it. However, he kept clear despite his instinct to dive in and help protect others from the flailing attacks. It was best he focus.

The wait was worth it. As the creature thrashed about Piccolo floated higher into the air to keep out of its reach and positioned himself directly over the monster. With a growl he threw his two pointed fingers at the beast and the directed beam of drilling energy bored straight into the giant water monster's chest.

[loveandduty]

Well that was most certainly an attack. Venus couldn't help but honestly be impressed. She didn't know what it was going to do, but she knew that she had to keep dodging the best she could and avoid getting too seriously hurt. However, there was only so much movement she could avoid before she had been hit and sent flying.

But she seemed okay for the moment, slowly moving to sit up and look over.

[nobodys_puppet]

Xion pushed herself shakily to her knees. Seeing someone else's attack, she cast one more of her own, hoping to be fast enough for a simultaneous hit. She was good at that with Roxas, but not so much with Somebodies....

"THUNDAGA!"

[voidtreckernpcs]

The attacks hit simultaneously, energy rippling through the monster. It convulses and then sinks into the ground, water spilling out and trickling back to the sea, sand and shells left behind, crumbling to join the natural sand of the beach below.

The sea is still raging, there are still crabs but up on the cliffs there is the start of a fire, a beacon to lead the way.
