[b]Group B[/b]
The two monsters were fast gaining on them. Moira's eyes widened as she tried to pick up the pace, but it really was no use. She was simply too slow. Lisette had drawn her bow back as she ran, but Moira could already feel the sheer [i]heat[/i] of the Firon behind her...

[i]“Keep running! I’m going to see if I can’t slow them down for a moment!”[/i]

The earth shook as the two titans collided, followed by an almighty rumble as the skeleton monster fell to the floor. It reached out as it fell towards the group, and Moira could do nothing but shout and grab Aria's arm as she passed her, dragging her out of the way. They both leapt at the last second, barely dodging the raining mass of bones which crashed down to the ground.

"Um, thanks for the save," Moira mumbled somewhat awkwardly as they picked themselves up and ran once more. The firon gave out a mighty howl which was a far, [i]far[/i] too familar sound for both Moira and Syed.

The group quickly took advantage of the situation to run around a corner or two in a desperate attempt to give some distance. They had no real choice but to follow Atlas, as he was the only one who really knew the town. At least they could see the tower in the sky, so they knew they were always heading towards it.

So... why weren't they getting any closer?

"Atlas?!" Syed called out, eyeing up a shop he was sure he saw just a moment ago. There were a couple, but not in the same order he saw them in before. He didn't like this. He didn't like this at all. "Is it me or are... are the streets reshuffling?!"

Suddenly wires and pipes erupted from the ground before them, waving and snapping in the air like whips and battering rams. They were rediculously fast, even if they did seem to be anchored into the ground at one end - just before a house which shuddered and shook, it's windows rattling as viciously sharp teeth gnashed at it's doorway. Almost as if to prove a point it seized a hold of a rubbish bin in one of it's more flexiable, wire appendages, throwing it into it's 'mouth' where the thing was shredded to bits.

Syed started subconciously sparking up, and he doubled over and stumbled as he repressed the urge to retch as a result. How were they supposed to get past this?! He could hear the firon and the skeleton still rampaging behind them, destroying absolutely everything in their wake, and it was only a matter of time before they found them again...!
