Corrupted Blackfoot

The vines from Jent's arrow wrapped themselves around his right arm, but the brute proved stronger than he looked, as he easily tore them out of the ground and threw them into the nearby fires. It did, however, get the berserker to turn his attention to the Knights, as he starts to take great, earth shaking steps towards the group.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tom

Tom unloaded a few more shots into the giant before him, but it was having little effect. Deciding his efforts were best put into organizing the counter-offensive, he drops back slightly, turning to scan to make sure they were not about to be attacked from the back.

~Swix, everyone alright in there? We have a situation....a big situation out here~

He Pauses, grabs a plasma grenade, activates it, and tosses the glowing ball towards Blackfoot

~Thorn, Jent, I know this won't be the popular opinion, but we may have to fall back until we can figure out how to hurt this thing~

APD
---------------------------------------------------

Argh! (Okay bye bye I guess!)

*With that, the Animatronic Pirate Dolphin continues his stroll, made nicer by the nearby mayhem and forest fire*

Thorn hissed in fear at what she heard, and seeing the fire blaze up around them thanks to the panicking Fangblaze...
~... Cindra... Jussst, be sssafe. We deal with thissss third party-~ Thorn sent to Cindra worriedly, and saw how none of the attacks did anything to BF and saw him turn to face them. ~... Floran... Have to figure out how firssst though...~

~... Besst fall back for now...~ Backs away a bit, but then eyed the fire around them. ~... But... Where can go?~ Thorn sent to Tom and Jent worriedly, though then glanced at the Manticore. ~... Floran alssso doubt even if Manticore offered to carry usss, that he could with usss all...~

HQ:

Rechomi listened worriedly, feeling very worried. "I... I am okay..." He squeaked.

Sakuya heard the voice and managed to gather enough courage to look into the Coms room. "I-I believe I-I am alright" The shaken Hylotl stuttered, though then felt the earth shake. "... M-Maybe not"

Rechomi's ears were still up as he listened, whilst also watching the screen the best he could. "... This..." He was unsure what to say, eyes wide in horror.

Underground Laboratory

Grathon diverted his attention between the increased disturbance surrounding the cavern to maintaining focus of the captive it hunted for. The force had to be that of the Collector for certain. "Not sounding good at the HQ," the grey being grumbled to himself, stomping on the ground with a resounding crackle of ichor-ish light.

"Assistance is required," speaking aloud towards the ground. Slowly emerging in response, eleven copies of Grathon spawned out of the earth, side by side in a straight row as they stared back at the original. The group skimmed over the layout of the lab as they planned their moves. Sending six out to the edges, three up against the Wood Dragon, and literally flinging the remainder up at the ceiling above; each of them waited for any signs to prepare for in defense.

Temple Grounds

Enraged by how little the vines did to subdue the new Agent, he was about to rally a bombardment of arrows straight at his face if not for the mental advice that attempted to dissuade his further action. Teeth clenched in protest, the dark eyes dashed across the surrounding near him, noting little gave them any help in this battle against 'Footy.' "...DAMMIT&#33;" the Jentil roared, slamming a distorted arm in frustration in front of himself to scatter dust as he turned towards the other two. He hated to be stuck having to leave her behind.

"You two. NOW&#33;" he ordered fiercely, not wanting to regret this anymore than needed, slipping the Emerald Box on his back as he sprinted between them. It might work, it might not, he quickly analyzed in his mind, stretching his arms near Tom and Thorn to bind them in the 'coils.' If he could grab a-hold of them both, they might just make it out of here alive... who knows where though...

HQ - Comms Room

~... Seriously, she is fine, Jent. All of us down here are trying...~ Solveig relayed the message to the furious Knight before being met with 'static' on the other end. "... Agreed, Swix..." she spoke softly, witnessing the carnage from the monitors displayed in the room.

HQ - Grathon's Dorm

Situated in the middle of rebuilding an Endo-Skeleton's internal circuitry, the old man growled as the he had to stabilize the table in front of him. "... 'A-Okay' ..." Devon said in an annoyed tone, not fond of these rude interruptions.

HQ - Jent's Dorm

Maria promptly reacted to the sudden quakes the greenhouse experienced. Tendrils here, bushes there; all sprouting from the ground to protect the various plants and tools there would otherwise fall and break upon impact. The nearby Floette settled on her shoulder as the huldra was informed by the speakers for a status report. "Clear in here," she announced to the Knight on the intercom.

~Checking Tom, so far everyone seems to be alright... and I put the base on lockdown too as a precaution~ she checked the room around her once again "we're safe down here I'm sure. Just as long as no one is an idiot and opens the front door"

Then she looked back at the monitors ~I see. Giant Gargoyle and panicking Nightmare setting fire to trees .. not good... ~

She then watched Jents display of outrage in some awe... silent

The Nightmare still galloped through the trees, panicking as it yelled "BURN" as it ran.

The Manticore nodded, lowering himself a bit so that Cindra could clamber on. "That's as may be, I still want away from that "

Cindra nodded, as she climbed on top of the manticore's back ~B-be careful, you all...~ She said, only to Thorn again as she hugged the manticore tightly, not wanting to risk falling off, knowing how fast he can be when running.

It was then that Tom's plasma grenade - which had affixed itself to the Beast's head - went off. Blackfoot stumbled backwards for a moment, then kept up his charge at the trio.

This was all the motivation Tom needed, as he lept close to Jent and prepared for whatever the Distortionist has planned.

The Manticore

This was no earthbound version of the creature, oh no, this Manticore could fly... and did so, leaping into the air and bringing his bronze wings down in sweeps after a running start. The beast set off to get as much distance as possible from the other thing and the fire with the maid on its back.

Fangblaze

Panicked, the Nightmares steps were altered ever so subtly, gently guiding it... towards The Encampment.

Temple Grounds

Managing a firm grip on the Knights, the brief time Tom gained by stunning the corrupted gargoyle was all the Jentil needed. Both soon sense disorienting tug as their own bodies began to swirl upon themselves in the central spiral that came from the Distortionist, though he wouldn't be exempt from the bewildering moment due to the influx of insanity in the air. Frustration and resent plagued his mind... sending them off aways off underground in a clear room...

Cindra hugged the manticore tightly, nearly in tears of panic and fear "W-waaaah&#33;T-this is too fast&#33;" she shouted, as she kept a hold of anything she could on the manticore to not fall off, probably, this being the closest to death she has ever been.

Remy's Lab

The trio would find themselves in a room full of clear glass, and around them were tanks, also full of an opaque orange-yellow liquid with tiny white creatures swimming around in them and in front of each, clearly medical clipboards held in pockets in front of the tanks. The room was filled with harsh light and there was only one doorway out with a plaque on it.

Thorn-Dancer would notice that the air buzzed with hundreds of tiny, incomprehensible voices as soon as she appeared there.

The Floran was grabbed by Jent whilst she was frozen in thinking on what to do. "J-Jent&#33;" She squeaked, then saw them start to disorienting and her body start to swirl. "..." Closes her eyes and braces herself for the warp.

Thorn-Dancer would notice that the air buzzed with hundreds of tiny, incomprehensible voices as soon as she appeared there.

Thorn opened her eyes and looked around, though the harsh light hurt her eyes and she quickly closed them again, feeling very confused by both the surroundings and the many voices she heard buzzing in her head. "... Where... We?" The Floran still rather disorientated by the warp asked, slowly opening her eyes again to look around, looking to the plaque curiously.

All Tom could do for a moment was hold up a hand, stopping the questions. He wretched and distributed the contents of his stomach all over the lab floor. He regained his composure, stood up, and looked to Thorn.

"So that's teleporting....I'd rather not do that again...."

He took a second, and seemed to regain a bit of color

"Hmm....no place I recognize - but I'm thinking it's not someplace we want to be. Any idea what that plaquard says over there?"

Remy's Lab

The plaquard says 'Nursery A-Control Group', clearly, there are more of these rooms filled with these strange creatures in this place they ended up in.

Rubble of Insanity
===========================

Corrupted Blackfoot stared blankly as his query disappeared. Where ever they were, they were no longer his problem. His objective had been complete.

He sat there, when he heard his next command

~Wipe that wretched city off the map~

CBF didn't respond, mainly because he didn't have to. He simply turned, and started making his way towards the Encampment.

As he walked away, unseen by him, a rather energetic little pebble from the Temple's structure spontaneously turned into a Mango.
