Akemi was barking rebukes at the hunter's performance, something that annoyed Tatsumi, [b][i][color=Gold]Have a heart, this is our first time![/color][/i][/b] He almost shouted, but held back. She [i]is[/i] scary, although he certainly would've liked an explanation on his magic, and Macey [i]was[/i] being a little weird about the spider... [b][i][color=Gold]I don't think I liked spiders in our world, did I?[/color][/i][/b] He shook his head, bringing his attention back to the battle. Soon enough Sinthe was vocalizing his complaints, shouting at Akemi. [b][i][color=Gold]Something tells me they're not a couple,[/color][/i][/b] Tatsumi mused to himself.

Luckily for their group it appeared their attacks had a good effect on the 'Roushta', as the hideous spider-creature beginning to stagger.

Unluckily for their group it appeared that the 'Roushta' wasn't their real enemy.

Everything happened at once. A great shaking took over the ravine. Tatsumi struggled to keep his footing, plunging his sword towards the ground to keep his balance. Ground that appeared to be rapidly deteriorating, great cracks appearing around the monster, which was unluckily where Tatsumi was positioned. He leapt back for safety, madly scrambling away from the quickly rising Roushta. It was hefted into the air by a stony hand, and then dropped, to be replaced by something [i]very[/i] scary. A seemingly impossibly large monster made of molten stone, towering far above the now tiny hunters, cresting to where the ravine met the sky. 

[i]Gulp.[/i] 

[b][i][color=Gold]There's always a bigger fish.[/color][/i][/b]

Tatsumi, for once, wasn't rushing in by his own volition. The seemingly naive hunter [i]was[/i] surprisingly perceptive. [b][i][color=Gold]That thing's made of lava, isn't it? My sword is toast if I try to fight it.[/color][/i][/b] He sheated his sword. He [i]did[/i] have another method of attack, even though Akemi seemed to disparage his use of it. He ran for the creature's beefy leg, sword not in hand. Instead he focused again, trying to manipulate the shadow of the great beast. A shadowy sword leapt from the darkness, flying into Tatsumi's hand. [i][b][color=Gold]This is handy! I hope there isn't a limit to it...[/color][/b][/i] He charged the beast, wheeling around the leg towards the back, jumping up and leveraging his weight against his 'sword'. He was out of reach of the knee, far above him, but with a little focus the blade extended, reaching the creature and appearing to deliver a solid strike against it.
