>Taku grabs onto the creature's arm in an attempt to stave off suffocation. >As the creature lifts her off the ground it's form pulses. >"HIC! STOP!!! PLEASE!!! I DON'T- UGLK!!!" >The creatures other hands begin moving towards towards her rear. >WHA- HUK- NONONO- HIC!!! NO!" >She starts kicking trying to keep the creatures hands at bay. >You gotta do something and fast. >You look around, nothing to use as a weapon. >Shit >Wait! the sword! >it's still embedded in the creature. >"CAST SOMETHING!!!" You shout darting to the creatures side. >"CAST WHAT?!" Moonie panics. >"ANYTHING!" You shout. >She quickly begins charging a spell in her horn. >You jump under the creatures arms and bite onto the sword and push. >Wait, SHIT. >The blade is facing towards you. >You turn the creature. >This might actually still work. >You keep pushing until you've turned the creature completely around. >As you do so a blast of magic slams into it, just above it's lowest arm with a sickening snap. >Two of it's arms go limp, including the arm strangling Taku. >As she hits the ground she starts coughing. >The creature lashes out with it's remaining arm and legs. >You maneuver yourself to the other side of the sword and push again. >This time the sword cleaves through it's flesh spilling pulpy white blood. >It's thrashing becomes too intense to be near it any longer and you pull the sword out and back away. >Despite the severe damage it has taken it reaches for Taku once more. >Moonie fires another blast, this one aimed at one the remaining arms elbows, snapping it backwards. >Limbs dragging along the ground it continues it's pursuit. >"DIE ALREADY!!!" Moonie screams as she fires another blast, this one into it's gaping wound. >The creatures bulbous abdomen explodes into a fleshy pulp. >It's remaining limbs freezing for a moment before going limp. >You rush to Taku's aid as she feebly gets back up on her hooves. >"Are… Are you ok?" you ask. >"NO!!! Cough NO I'M NOT OK!!!"
