[Semi-Open] A fresh set of scales.

[how_vexing]

Hands deep in his coat pockets. Brows furrowed.

"How...vexing" He'd murmur. "Are you certian about this?" They had been walking for hours. Monsters have been in and out of sight. Venosnaker becoming restless as well as his other two contact beasts.

Comments

[how_vexing]

A grunt, the flying armor and the strike from Tiger infuriated him as his saber was stuck in the jaw of Ryuki's gauntlet at the moment.

"Compa!" Gritting his teeth, he aims a headbutt at Kido, pulling his blade free to spin and slice at Tiger.

[kicksoffdragreder]

"Guh-" the headbutt sent him backward as well as the beam from Compa. He pants and issues a fireball from the gauntlet Ouja's way.

[clockupgatack]

A high kick coming in toward the purple rider once Ryuki stumbled away.

He wanted to keep the pressure on Ouja, hoping for a quick defeat on his end.

[destclaw]

Claws come against the blade, sparks flying around them.

"I know how you keep worming your way out of your deserving end, I'll cut that out of the equation..." a jab at his midsection before turning his attention to Compa

[clumsynurse]

Rolling to grab her weapon, pressingbthe stopper and firing to shield her partner. The purple rider encased temporarily in a thin shield.

[how_vexing]

"All of you are going to DIE!"

The kick from the beetle rider scooted him. Tiger's jab would send him to a knee before Compa's shield gave him a moment to slide in a card to gain Evildiver's tail whip, launching it at Gatack to trip him up

[kicksoffdragreder]

Hopping up and running to deliver a sliding kick despite the shield over Ouja.

"Ack!" Rolling over with a pant. "B-bad timing...ah. ah..."

[clockupgatack]

?! Falls on his back from the whip strike before recovering and coming in close with fast handed jabs

[destclaw]

Breaking away from Ouja, as Gatack and Ryuki had him occupied. He could turn his attention to the nurse, as she was the key to the killer's vitality in battle.

Gleaming claws come at her with rapid strikes and slashes

[clumsynurse]

!!
Compa bringing up her own weapon to block. The thick glass giving a resounding noise as his claws hit it over and over.

"P-please! We didn't mean any harm!" Compa's attempt to be genuine, waiting for a moment to jab Tiger with the glinting needle

[how_vexing]

He crashed to the ground, reeling the whip back and sending back toward the Red and Blue riders.

"Don't reason with them. Fight!" He'd yell at her. He had to keep focus or they could very well not make it out of here. He wasn't one for defeat or having his partner share in that sentiment.

Grasping for Metalgelas' card to someone the large rhinoceros monster to charge at Ryuki.

[kicksoffdragreder]

?! As the large beast appeared he backs up, his blade now in hand to slice at the tough skinned monster and spinning once it charges him.

He glances to Tiger and Compa before calling over to them "Don't hurt her! If you want to punish anyone, it's him!" In hopes to draw him away. His distraction however prompts him to become launched by the mirror beast! "Waaaaah!"

[clockupgatack]

A hunch as the whip sparks off his chest armor. The barbs really packed a punch...

Once Ouja was on the ground, he aims a kick at his abdomen and chest with a speedy leg

[destclaw]

"She's just as guilty..." a wide slash to the left, then setting both armed claws in front of him and driving them forward against the syringe to try to knock her off balance again.

"Condoning his actions and keeping him alive and unharmed makes her just as bad!"

[clumsynurse]

!!
His swipe opens up a gash in her side, causing his push to send her to the ground. The glass of the syringe cracking under his force.

"H-He's not bad! He's a hero!" Compa moving to push herself up back to her feet. "My hero!" The liquid in the glass glows and shifts colors to a murky green. She fires several blasts at Tiger and runs at him with the sharp needlepoint.

[how_vexing]

"He's a coward! Always has been-!"
Gatack's kicks were met with some of his own while he jeers at Tiger.

He should be somewhat grateful for Kido trying to stop the fight between Tiger and Compa. But considering the present circumstances...

𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵
A rhinoceros shaped gauntlet would form on his fist as he began a more heavier assault on the beetle rider, smirking at Compa's protests.

[kicksoffdragreder]

Crashing to the ground and calling down Dragreder to clash with Metalgelas.

Kido genuinely torn as to where to interfere or fight. There had to be some good somewhere in Asakura...if Compa believed in him...but also he's been known to aid in major battles.

He was as complex as he was mean. For now he would keep Gatack company in the fight with Ouja. His blade prepared to come down on the purple rider's shoulder.

[clockupgatack]

Kagami felt bad for Compa. He knew where he was coming from as his own partner is ousted regularly.

But he had to focus on the powerful rider, taking advantage of Ryuki coming in with his blade to raise a leg to kick him in his jaw.

[destclaw]

𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒛𝒆 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒕

After he was flung back by the beams, he froze the nurse in place, taking a moment to recover. Another card to slip into his reader...

𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒕

Summoning Deatwilder to break through the ice to grab hold of her, dragging her along the ground with enough force it leaves a deep indent in the earth. He prepares his claws with hunched shoulders.

[clumsynurse]

Compa was stunned by the beast above her busting her from her temporary icy prison.

A painted scream as she was dragged roughly over the uneven battleground, hands trying to pry the Tiger beast's claws from her, but she was pinned and unfortunately for her not going anywhere.

[how_vexing]

It wasn't her scream, it was the reader confirming what card Tiger placed. He fell into a roll, spotting his partner becoming dragged.

𝘈𝘥𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵

Venosnaker streaking out to meet Destwilder, jaws sink into its upper body to get it to release Compa.

Panting. "All of you are finished!" He's clutching his other two monster cards now, staggering to his feet and preparing to place both cards into the slot to begin the morphing of all three into Genocider.

[kicksoffdragreder]

"No! No!"
Slamming a card into the dragon shaped slot.

His Visage as well as his mirror beast shifting in a swirl of flames, gold glinting off his visor.

Another card following:

Charging forward with two shields, one in each hand he bangs them against Ouja, hoping to have him fumble the cards.

🪲𝘾𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙠 𝙪𝙥🪲 mashing the panel on the side of his belt he moved at unseen speeds at the purple rider once Ryuki set him off balance. Pulling the Cobra staff and cards away from him.

A golden surge of electricity runs along his armored form.
🪲𝙍𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙆𝙞𝙘𝙠🪲 bringing his sparking leg up and landing a powerful kick against Ouja.

[destclaw]

He was partially able to attack Compa, although his Mirror beast was now a little worse for wear thanks to Venosnaker.

Turning as he saw Ouja with the two cards- then suddenly not? And Gatack was gone as well.

[clumsynurse]

Compa was out for the count, deep gashes and cuts from Tiger's claw attacks. She'd roll on her side with a wince, clutching her shoulder.
