Melody's eyes turned to her entourage, more precisely the new addition, Hans. It puzzled her greatly that the fox creature was still in this world. Not that the girl had some contrived theory to how it wasn't possible, but still, why was he still here.
“Do you... Really think we can beat that thing?” Melody asked out of the blue, hoping on some guidance or advice or... assurance from Hans. Not that it'd help the internal fear seep away. It was not herself she was worried about. She'd be behind the front, doing all the safety work and all that. No, rather, would Kieran be okay?
Her eyes practically said everything her emotions and words didn't, Melody was scared to death of this thing – Hell, didn't help that she met it eye to eye, if only for a brief second.
Approaching her 'appointed spot' Melody was quickly put to an abrupt stop as someone shouted: “Wait!”
What now...
“Opal just told me Jaxon changed some plans. It seems that Kieran and Jaxon are going to fight the thing now while Opal stands by for backup.”
Sorry, what? Well, now she knew who's gotta get his ass kicked for wanting to take credit for beating the hell out of their first monstrosity. “Fuckin' asshat.” Melody mentioned with an absent mind, only barely listening to Aberdeen's brief explanation of the new plan.
Why did she mention this to her? The new plan didn't seem to change anything for her. Actually, somehow it managed to become less, didn't it? Melody now had the proud role of hoping something would be thrown in Opal's direction so she could protect her.
What a load of crappers. She thought, letting out an unsatisfied groan.
“So uh…did you get that?”
The blonde girl nodded. “Boys get to do their manly things, the others get to sit back and watch while they pull into a thingamajiggy, then we all get to kick one percent of the things buttocks. Toht-a-lee got it, girl.”
Yeah she got it, but not in the 'Yeah I know why they are doing it that way.' kind of sense. “Boys will be boys, I guess.” Melody noted, shrugging as she mentally called out a second “Good luck.” to Kieran.
“Oh yeah…and sorry for interrupting whatever it was back there… I didn’t really have control over me.”
Huh? Oh... That. Yeah, you totally ruined a perfect moment there, but not really. “Don't. You- Err, Connor, seemed to have gotten Kieran off his ass. I'm just a footnote on that document.” The girl let out a sigh. “Anyway, thanks for the pointless information. I'm off.” She gave Aberdeen a lazy wave, then heading for her group to get ready for battle.
She really was going to do this, wasn't she? She was going to 'fight' in a sense. “Lore, I want you to stay back for a bit. Okay?”
The demon was less than pleased about this. “No! Melly can't go without Lorelei!” She sang, pleading for her Magni to resign from this course of action.
“No, I can't. Usually. But I want you to stay back for now, Hans will keep you save, right?” Melody flashed a glance at the fox. “If anything goes wrong, I don't want you in the middle of it. Just do as I say, just this once, Lore.” Melody flashed her eternal companion a smile, gently rubbing the little siren's cheek before removing her coat and tossing it to the two demons. “Well, wish me luck. We'll win this, I hope...”
As everyone was up and ready to fight, the creature stood silent for a moment before releasing a gigantic wave of shadows that hurled anything not nailed to the floor a good few feet off the ground
After that, the first attack was made, and the fight had finally begun. The creature, form what Melody could witness, leaped into the air and send slammed into the ground, sending rubble, cars and mailboxes galore that were fairly tough to evade. Melody, at one point, had to gather a large quantity of sound in the palm of her hand to crush an incoming debris that would've pancaked her were it not for her quick response and breaking it into a bazillion pieces that left little more than scratches on her body as they soared beside her.
But their troubles hadn't passed just yet. Shortly after that display, the magni that weren't fighting head on were about to be dog-piled by a massive chunk of skyscraper, were it not for the barrier of roots that suddenly, ironically, rooted from the ground and formed an impenetrable barrier that blocked the deadly debris.
“Whew, close call.” Melody muttered under her heavy breathing, observing as her fellow Magni were starting to tire. Whatever to plan was, they'd better began to play it out as soon as possible.
