[ At a loud thud and the sound of screeching, Tenten's alert mind quickly overlooked the entire forest. A herd of Kinshin eggs continued to rush away from the location, but one exceptionally angry screech remained. When the Kishin eggs were far enough away, Tenten's sharp eye quickly saw the kishin fell for their crude pitfall. With the monster struggling to get out of the hole, Tenten quickly tapped Santana to grab her attention. ]
[Santana could hear the creature's howls vibrating through her senses with an unusual, but familiar beat underneath. Inwardly smiling, she cut into its belly deep, blood spilling onto the various leaves and twigs on the forest floor. It got up, clawing the bark off the tree and snapping at its branches.]
[ She nods her head agreeing with Santana's statement. ]
Yeah, we should still aim for that but at least we have a plan B.
[ In the mean time, Tenten decided to stand right in front of the pit fall. Maybe if she played her cards real right here, she can land him back in the pit. From there, her and Santana can easily lash it through its skull with enough precision. She knew how fast it was, so all it could take would be a little math in order to evade him and get him trapped into the hole. ]
[ Tenten immediately soared above its head, swinging her foot down with a strong and heavy kick right onto its skull which knocked the rest of it into the pit. As her foot swings down, her dexterous left hand slammed the whip into the beast too, delivering a painful slash down its side. ]
[The beast thrashed around, far too big to fit into the hole comfortably. If it couldn't climb out, it could at least bring its snack down there with it. In a split second, the Kishin egg jerked its head upward and snapped at Tenten's ankle, giving her a yank towards the pit.]
[ Tenten's right hand clawed into the top of the hole in complete desperation. She couldn't die here or now, and for a very noticeable moment, petrified thoughts of her being eaten alive flash before her eyes before focusing her thoughts on Santana. Tenten moves the hand holding onto Santana's whip form outside the pit, and, with all intents on her mind, hopefully out of reach.
As the monster continues to rudely consume Tenten's leg, her only thoughts don't seem indicate that it's a very painful experience, instead, they're directed towards concern for her partner. ]
Santana! When you get out of my reach just transform back and run! [ There definitely is an implicit, "Or else we'll both be dragged down and be totally eaten" at the end of her statement but, you know, brevity is definitely valued here! ]
[Her thoughts were screaming in a jumbled up blur. Like hell she was running off without her. Santana panicked, not sure what to do but knowing she had to do something, and now. If she were in her human form, she would probably be sobbing.]
Just hold on, just hold on, we can--
[Nope, definitely sobbing.
That's when it clicked. Santana felt a warmth blanket her senses, and then music. Vaguely Ke$ha, but without any vocals. The Kishin egg must have heard it too, because it stopped trying to bite off Tenten's foot, and instead, let go, and stared at them instead.]
[ Tenten freezes there for a moment, as if she's been stupefied by Santana's music. She wriggles around her foot to the vague memory of the synths before pulling out of the monster's jaws. She wasn't sure what just happened, but, with what little information she had, she was able to make a likely hypothesis. ]
Santana! You saved me! This must be your ability as a weapon! [ A deeply grateful and warm thought from Tenten begins to form. If Santana has ever seen Might Guy cry happy tears, it'll be awfully similar to that. ]
[ The moment quickly fades as it registers to Tenten that there is still an ugly ass crocodile staring at her foot at the bottom of a pitfall that she was currently struggling to get out of.
Oh. Moment killers are always inevitable. With this revelation, the fiery spirit of Tenten began to revive itself to an unrivaled level. ]
Let's finish the job while it's dazed, Santana! [ Tenten regained her grip on Santana, who started to glow into a very bright white light. Once Tenten's clutch was firmed, the whip began to straighten, and the blades began rearrange themselves so they were pointing on the bottom as the leather covering wrapped itself into a firm pole. When the glow faded, Santana was now a beautiful bladed razor spear, with a leather base. ]
[Her weapon ability? The words fled from her consciousness as soon as Tenten had finished saying them, Santana was far too concerned about her to think about it. Before she knew it, she was transforming again, but not into her human form, into a spear. Being one more step removed from normal wasn't the most comfortable experience (she was still getting used to that whip business), but she retained her focus, just like in training.
[ Tenten twirled the spear so it pointed downwards towards the Kishin Egg's head. She quickly turned around, with the spear held firmly in her arms, and thrusted it downwards into the the beast's skull. She couldn't exactly see what happened after that, but she could quickly hear the spear exiting from the jaw with a loud shattering sound. By now, Tenten was still gripping the spear but she was also standing on the egg's head. Suffice to say, when Tenten finally realized that he was indeed dead, she quickly and swiftly extracted the spear from the skull. She definitely doesn't want Santana to be swimming in Kishin brains for sheer leisure. Pushing herself back so she can sit on the edge of the pitfall, she moved the spear so it could stand adjacent to her. ]
[As soon as she was sure it was dead, Santana changed back into her human form. The exhaustion hit her like a brick. Breathing heavily, she ran her hands through her hair, hovering over Tenten.]
[ Tenten isn't nearly as tired out as Santana but there is some light panting and groaning. Though, it seems to be more directed towards her foot if anything else. However, upon Santana's inquiry, she just flashes a smile. ]
Eh, I'll be fine. This flesh wound isn't hurting me any time soon. [ As Tenten talks to Santana, a reddish-brown substance will begin to float and over above the body of the Kishin egg. Tenten doesn't pay it any intention, instead she's focused on smiling her damn finest to make sure Santana doesn't worry too much. ]
[Well, she broke her foot in the 8th grade during drill team practice and it was nowhere near this gross-looking. And that really sucked. So of course she's worried.]
It's bleeding, all over the damn place. Take my shirt, or something.
[She starts taking off her jacket, when the little floating ball appears in her peripheral vision. Shivering, she stared at it.]
That's not what I thought a soul would look like when my abuela took me to church.
[ What a very kind gesture, but Tenten shakes her head as she begins to take off her own jacket. After this, she'll just begin to tear off a sleeve for her foot. ]
I'm fine, I'm fine! I'm not going to be taking any of your clothes. You need them! [ She does have a point. She'll be hopping to her feet though just to demonstrate that it'll be all right. She does glance at the soul though. ]
Santana-! Hey! We got one!
