When his throw struck true, Titan planned to possibly hold the dragon in place once it charged straight at him. Instead, the dragon burrowed into the ground and appeared elsewhere to attack Passion and the other supers. With speeds it was going at, it should have been impossible for it to suddenly change direction like that. It was like the rules of physics were being routinely violated by this thing, as it kept on pounding the combatants despite its own wounds. This thing had no survival instincts. Despite its heavy wounds, its chose not to flee to safety, but attempt to take those that inflicted those wounds with it in death. This wasn't some animal, this was an intelligent, vindictive monster. One that Titan was going to kill with his bare hands.
While Titan's anger mounted as he saw it attack more and more of his allies, something pushed him over the edge. It did...something to Sanduleak, sending him 20 feet in the air. It was clear that the process somehow harmed him severely. Titan was poised to catch the other super, but he was thankful that Siren had done the job for him. It allowed him to focus on killing the dragon.
In all honesty, Titan wasn't afraid. The pain from his wounds were almost an afterthought. He was just tired. Tired of fighting, tired of watching people he knew get hurt, but most of all, tired of this dragon's existence. Time and again they gave it their all to rid the world this putrid creature, and time and again it somehow survived to keep on fighting. The fact that this dragon was still alive infuriated and disgusted him. Its mindless murder of thousands, perhaps millions, made him sick to the stomach. It needed to punished for those it killed.
Balling up his left hand, Titan steadily marched towards the dragon, ignoring the sensation of being pulled upwards. As he neared, all of his rage and hatred gathered into that one arm. He pulled all of the force he could muster in this attack. His next blow involved no finesse or skill, just sheer unrelenting force. He was done playing its game, it was time to put things to an end. Lunging forward, he pulled back his left fist before swinging a wild haymaker at the dragon's head, screaming with raw hatred as he did so.
"Just die already, you UGLY FUCK!"

Khan takes a deep breath having avoided damage thus far from the dragon but quite so lucky from the debris. He frees himself from the pile atop him, getting up and taking another look to reacclimate to his surroundings.
There wasn't much time to wait. The dragon had targeted other supers for now but it was only a matter of time til they died and he moved on to him. It was a numbers game and their numbers were dwindling.
He raises both hands up and moves them apart, looking to tear the insides out and rip them in half.

Timezone pulled his hands back, they looked like he been in a fire or something! He must've been just lucky he haven't been burned earlier like other supers. "Ok, just kill this dragon and I'll get an actual healer!" Seriously, he couldn't even rewind the damage away, 'cause the dragon kinda moved even inside here!
He didn't know how bad it was outside but judging from all the noise it wasn't good. Hopefully everyone could deal with whatever crazy thing this dragon tries next. He started his fast forward again, it looked like his attacks were actually working, even it did hurt to hit this thing!

Double Dealer swung their punches more wildly in frustration due to the fact their attacks were only bruising the dragon's skin. The dragon turning towards them made them begin backing up, but not fast enough. The shortwave split Double Dealer back to the man and woman who slammed heavily into the building behind them.
'My everything hurts! Like, even my lungs! Too late to see that doctor, ha...'
'Mine too! But that expert doctor thing, it's more like some of these other supers are good healers, you know? So I was going to make one heal us right away!'
'Well, that was actually a- whoa! Oh my God, what's going on!?'
The duo briefly fell where it is impossible to fall before grabbing onto the building they got thrown into. They fused and forced themselves onto the ground again, making a desperate dash for the dragon.
'Let's hit the tail, it'll probably hurt like hell!'
'It can't do much to us back there!'
Agreed on their target, Double Dealer drove their fists into any exposed flesh on the dragon's tail, there was no way this wouldn't hurt the dragon!

Post by Nemesis on Jul 11, 2016 11:31:00 GMT -7
Nemesis lost her footing. The dragon's weird gravity nonsense knocked her to the ground. . . or would that be the side now? She was still getting pulled down towards the dragon at a steady rate. Would this change anything? Not really. She had no reason to change plans. It might have been possible to stay still or run away, but she wanted to get as close as she could.
The dragon was practically asking for them to put it down. Nemesis pushed herself off the ground, flying towards the bulbous organ from earlier. One more stab at this speed ought to deal some damage. The momentum should make it hurt more, right? She didn't really understand regular physics, let alone dragon physics, but it seemed like a good idea.

The slight tingling that represented Unhallow's power still affecting Arcanum confirmed the kid was still breathing. With that taken care of for now, she could focus on attacking.
Arcanum spread part of herself against a wall facing the dragon. Numerous spikes rapidly began to cover almost the entire surface area, sparing only the lowest section. Eventually she dissolved the bottom part and let the wall tumble in the general direction of the dragon. If he wanted to suck so hard, she might as well give him something to swallow.

The organ had shivered before the bullet made contact, damn it appeared he had failed in his task if the super that was currently paralyzed in the air was anything to go by...There was no way he could handle that organ's reaction with his current armament. Placing the gun to the side, he once again slipped out a scarlet pill to pop into his mouth. Skin became a light pinkish red before he dashed through the area and followed his partner to the insides of the beast, pulling out a pair of pistols to shoot every object that wasn't a fellow super. He blamed his partner for him following this insane thought process but if they did not kill it soon he'd end up like those other fools who were on the ground writhing in pain.

Passion's slash had gone wide, completely missing the massive dragon. Where did it g-Passion flew straight up and roughly hit the ground. He was thankful for the blade he had chosen, the legend of it allowing him to stand up on his feet as if he wasn't injured at all, but that didn't stop the deadliness of the smoke from causing him pain. Though he was able to ignore and press on, completely focused on taking revenge against the massive beast as he ran for it. Blade once again guiding his hand as it found it's way to the beast's manipulating organ.

Post by Blue Jay on Jul 11, 2016 12:44:35 GMT -7
Everything inside the dragon was moving and churning. Blue Jay felt like he was fighting in the inner workings of a squishy and fire-prone clock, and trying to land any hits without being caught in the side or back by a suddenly shifting innards. Whenever his feet touched the ground, he full-on teleported a few feet further into the dragon. He didn’t want to risk a displacement being interrupted in a place like this.
Blue Jay was obvious to the other supers entering the dragon. His mind was concentrated entirely on slicing into the organs of the dragon with strong, over the shoulder strikes and small bursts of shock waves and teleporting away before he could feel more than just the initial sting of the blood. Other people were regarded akin to the shifting insides; obstacles to not to get in the way of.
It was slower than he liked, but he was working his way farther into the dragon, hoping to land what might at last be mortal blows against what he assumed to be more central organs.

Post by Giza Kadabra on Jul 11, 2016 13:10:40 GMT -7
Giza knelt down clutching his head in pain as the shock wave that the dragon emitted out of its mouth. He could feel as though his ears are bleeding from the terrible noise, and the dragon’s shriek is still lingered in his inner ears despite the fact of how he covered his ears in pain. His attempt as trying to slow the dragon down with his cables didn’t work the way he anticipated; the dragon proven to be way too fast for him to catch up, and it simply tear away without a problem.
As soon as the pain is gone, he couldn’t hear anything around him; everything sounds like a high silent pitch, even Awenydd’s singing is all white noise for him. Looking up at the dragon, all his instinct told him to run away as fast as he can. The monster is too strong, and he’s just a man. But despite unable to hear, his resolve only strengthen as he looked around and saw his teammates are still willing to fight it, even Limen despite the fact of how dangerous the situation is for her.
Still clutching his ears, Giza stood up and looked around for anything he can use as pay-back for the dragon. The cables are still intact after the dragon tore through them like string; looking back at the dragon’s organ flopping around, Giza realized he might have aim those hooked-cables at a wrong target. With a snap of his finger, the cables once again come back to life, this time coiled around each other to form one single rope-structure with jagged hook at the end.
Giza then threw the rope-cables at the dragon, aiming specifically at the dangling organ coming out of the dragon’s stomach. As soon as the rope got close, the jagged hook will them spread around, embedded themselves all over the strange organ with their sharp point and latch onto them. And with one final yank, the rope will then pull back with all the force that Giza can do in the opposite direction of the dragon’s flight pattern, further tearing apart the organ.

Post by Kazuki 'Kaz' Yoshida on Jul 11, 2016 13:13:03 GMT -7
This was some hard work, that was for sure. While Kaz and the other supers tore apart what he thought were its internal organs, he wasn't quite sure. He wasn't a biologist (let alone a marine biologist), but he figured that most normal animals tended to have some sort of order and consistency to how they were composed. This thing was like a mish-mash of flesh and strange looking bits that Kaz didn't even know could exist. Nor should they, if he had a say in things. Thinking about how weird this thing was proving to be a difficult task, given how much focus Kaz had to maintain to avoid getting hit with the dangerous innards, but he pulled it off well enough, using the shadows to help rip the beast apart.
Kaz stabbed and sliced at the monster with such vigor and aggression that his knives were practically being worn down by the second. But he determined that if they kept at long enough, maybe, just maybe, they could take it down, operating on the principle of death by a thousand cuts. Though it was more like death by a million cuts, by the looks of it. And so he continued the violent assault, hoping that eventually this thing would just drop dead.

Post by Azoth on Jul 11, 2016 13:46:15 GMT -7
Azoth narrowed her gaze. Explosions weren’t going to be enough against those tendril, but they were still a threat that had to be dealt with. A change of tactics was in order. Operating under the logic that the base of the tendrils would be moving less than the tips (in relative distance), she shifted her attention to the connecting ends of the tendrils and where there were few people. The large clouds of helium would not be visible until, after Azoth had allowed a small amount of time for each individual cloud to spread a bit, they went up in flames. More rubble vanished around the stationary girl on her knees as fireballs engulfed parts of the tentacles. This dragon might bleed fire, but if Azoth knew anything about it, it was that nothing about any of it made sense.

Post by Geata on Jul 11, 2016 14:24:07 GMT -7
Geata realized that, even with his injuries, the best thing to do would be to get inside the beast and actually harm it from there. He wasn't keen on leaving the injured person behind, but seeing how everyone else was still in the thick of the fight made him realize that it was more important to give his all than to be safe. "Sorry, he said to the woman who was watching over the injured Keeper, "I'll be back in a bit." He grit his teeth as he opened a portal underneath himself and dropped far above his current position. Last time I did this, he thought as he fell, picking up more and more speed, I'm pretty sure it shattered my ribs. That injury is still very fresh, too. Even so...
He opened another portal just before he hit the ground, this time using it to shoot directly inside the monstrous dragon. Even so, he thought as he hurtled towards the squishy bits (which looked like every bit, honestly), I still have my part to play in this. And play that part I shall.

Even with its scatter missiles strike the dragon, HaLOS can clearly see that those missiles didn’t even managed to leave a dent behind the creature’s thick skin and weird field surrounding it. The blast of its shock wave almost turned the bulldozer over if HaLOS didn’t ground itself down on the pavement.
“Recalculating: scanning for other weak point.”
With some minor adjustment to its targeting system, HaLOS managed to locate a good target base on the information it have: the inside of the dragon. Finding a good point to exploit, HaLOS began to command the nano-bot on the bulldozer to gather around one of its weapon as it open the small hatch on the top to reveal a big mounted harpoon gun. Timing is everything for this situation, since the harpoon isn’t the most reliable weapon; it is the only weapon, however, that have a better tendency to pierce through the dragon’s skin.
As soon as the dragon flew close within its harpoon range, HaLOS will quickly shoot the harpoon straight into its underbelly. Once the weapon embedded itself into the dragon, the nano-bot will begin to spread all over the inside of the dragon and began to detonate themselves from the inside.

Being swiped up my massive gut-tentacles gave Big Martin a strong urge to scream, or puke, or both. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be any air here, and he was reduced to a helpless gasping for breath as he tried not to black out from the lack of oxygen. Or the pain. Or the constriction. Or the acceleration.
Which, suffice to say, was not easy.
Down on the ground, cats were glancing around worriedly. "Big Martin!"
I'm a little fucking tied up right now!
"Orders, Big Martin?"
God damn it, just do something! I don't care! Kill the fishy!
Kill the fishy. The cats nodded. That was simple enough. They could leap onto the tendrils and scratch them, or form another huge pile to bite its fins, or search for dead humans with guns and use their weapons to sting the fishy from afar. Heck, with their numbers, why not all three?
With their leader out of commission, a small, grey-furred stray with an odd red stain on its side spoke up. "All right, you pieces of shit. We've let the boss down, and now we're gonna make it up to him, or so help me I will kill you all myself!" Her glare swept over all her nearby fellows, and her words carried to even the cats furthest away. "Tomorrow, we feast on the flesh of dead fishy. But today! Today we fight, for glory, for justice, for belly rubs!" That last one drew a ragged cheer from the remaining feline forces, and the grey cat smiled. "ATTACK!"
