*Iris struggles against her captor's grip again and the shocks increase in intensity once Hanna says she'll give up. Iris looks panicked and tries to face Hanna. She shakes her head furiously, eyes begging Hanna not to do this*

*Xan hears the gunshots and follows Zeta cautiously*
Xan: What happen!? Fighting!?

*Horus is woken by the faintsound of gunfire.*
Horus: What the- Iris!?
*He gets up then stumbles to his knees as every muscle in his body cries out with exhaustion and pain*

*Sydney gets hit and sent flying by the blade, but isn't bisected*
*Instead of charging right back in, she takes a moment to hang back, seemingly waiting for something*

*Zeta nods, and continues leaning on her spear, slowly edging herself towards the kitchen door to peer out towards the door and see if she can see what's happening. Her movements are sluggish from her wounds, but she still has some bite left.*
Zeta: Mhm. Gunshots and from what I can tell, people yelling. I don't really want to go any closer, but I really don't have a choice. I still owe Jill I guess.
*She signs in resignation, then continues edging herself towards the fighting, eventually holding her spear normally instead of like a walking stick.*

---

*Vaseraga, although he weighs like half a tonne, wouldn't really be able to do much if the centipede really wanted him off the ground, but he still tries his hardest. As a last ditch effort, he attempts snapping the centipede's neck with a punch to the underside of the head, but seeing as though it's an insect, it doesn't have a neck, and even if it did, the law of forces would mean he'd have to generate a helluva lot of force to break something that big.*

*Jillian is now super annoyed. She stops firing, walks up to Hanna, and aims her magnum at her head.*
Jillian: Let Iris go, or I blow your weapons brains out.
*She pulls back the hammer on her magnum, and doesn't even bother to look at Hanna.*

---
*John at this point fires at the centipede, and keeps trying to make his way to Sasha.*

*Sasha growls with effort, and fires her lance at Be'lak again.*

*Karma sees Sasha going to fire again, and lunges at Be'lak, trying to distract him from the shot at his back. Belak's tendrils (on his back) instinctively move to protect the Devil while he attacks Karma, yet the shot still rips through and into Be'lak*
Mortal...
*Another tendril forms in front of Sasha, and tries to impale her on itself*
*Karma takes advantage of Be'lak getting hit, and redoubles her attack, although she's still easily outclassed*

*The centipede gets shot in the side of the head and drops Vaseraga, turning it's attention to John. With the scythe and John's shot, it's head is a melted mess with stab wounds. The lightning it charged up fires at John*

*The scarecrow front flips forwards, aiming to catch Sydney in the head with its blade*

*Hanna is shocked by the gun pointing at her head but she sees that this is an idea that could work.*

*Hanna makes no attempt to resist she simply looks straight up at Jill.*

----

*Hugo growls.*

Hugo: She's bullet proof you idiot! Go ahead and shoot her! See if I Ca-!

*Hugo hisses at the massive amount of pain from the most recent shock. He then bashes Iris into the ground a few times to try and knock her out.*

Hugo: Stop that shit!

*Hugo's focus is rapidly declining as the shocks slowly drain his stamina.*

*Major hears the gunfire and decides that it ain't worth it and already been attacked by one thing recently*

Does this place get any peace?
*Grabs jacket and heads off to rest up his injuries from earlier in room,

*Jillian shrugs, and still keeps her magnum pointed at Hanna.*
Jillian: I think if I plug her in the face enough times she will die, and I'm a very fast shot.
*She watches Iris get thrashed into the ground coldly, and takes a snap shot at Hugo's face for the action.*

---
*Sasha screams in agony as she is impaled, and scrambles weakly at it with her gauntlets.*
*Blood sprays from the wound, but is quickly stanched from her armors healing abilities.*

*John manages to avoid the lightning blast, by throwing himself to the ground.*
*He fires with one of his pistols at the beast, while his other hand pops the quad barrel's cartridges so he can reload.*

*Sydney screams as her head is split open*
*She collapses to the ground but keeps moving. She howls in agony*
Sydnay: AGGHHHH!!!

*Iris's eyes go even wider and if she could she would scream "NO!!" at Jillian. Her struggles increase further until she's slammed into the ground. The first slam surprises her, the second stuns her, all after that leave her in a near unconscious state. Blood dribbles from several cuts along her face from being slammed into small rocks and the ground in general. Her eyes are glazed and she strains not to black out*

*Horus lurches to his feet and makes it a few dozen steps before falling again, groaning in pain from a score of ailments and injuries*

*Hanna looks distraught as Iris is smashed around on the ground and goes to scream "stop" but her voice is out done by Jill's gunshot.*

----

*Hugo was far to focused on smashing Iris into the ground and by the time his brain registered the sound of a gunshot it was to late. The bullet had gone through his eye and out the back of his skull. His final slam of Iris fell short as hes brain was destroyed by the bullet. He fell backwards landing on the ground with a light thud. His disgusting arm released Iris.*

----

*Hanna was stunned unable to speak but she had instinctively started to ran over to Iris.*

*Xan flinches at the gunshot as she was watching over by Zeta*
Xan: Loud!
*She frowns at the group*
Xan: What happening?

*Iris is concussed, but otherwise not seriously injured. She struggles to stay conscious as Hanna runs to her*
*She lies in a heap on the ground, the electric shocks having stopped as her scales dulled slightly to a softer blue*

*Horus staggers towards the gunshot*
Horus: Iris! Iris!

*Jillian watches Hanna run over to Iris with her cold eyes, and debates on what to do. She holsters her magnum and starts to walk out of the room.*
Jillian: Find me later, Iris. We need to talk.
*Jill walks outside, and smokes a cigarette.*

*Zeta puts up her hand to sulence Xan for a little bit while she listens for something, then nods and lowers her hand.*
Zeta: It's over. Now to see the victor.
*She exits the room and looks around quietly and subtly. She notices Hugo on the ground, and Iris close by, and decides to help a little bit. She leans on the wall, and has her spear fetch the medkit from the kitchen, and floats it over to the space inbetween Iris and Hugo, cause she doesn't really know who is dead or alive. She also spots Jillian walking away, but makes no move to follow her cause she figures she needs time to herself.*

---

*Vaseraga, although bloodied and bruised, manages to get to hit feet soon after he's dropped, and wrap (to the best of his abilities) his arms around a section of the centipedes back, trying to pull it back and away from John. He also hears Sasha's scream, and makes his scythe slowly float over to him while he gets pulled along by the centipede, cause let's be honest, he isn't strong enough to change what direction it's going, probably just enough to slow it. The second the scythe of his gets close enough for him to grab, he does so, and flings it right at the tendril impaling Sasha, aiming for the base of it as to not slash Sasha in half by accident. By throwing it he basically loses his grip on the centipede, and tumbles to the ground, so John is on his own for now.*

*Hanna hugs Iris and her head jerks up at Jill.*

Hanna: Thank you...

*She has no other words to give then her head jerks again and she watches the spear carry the med kit over. She then nods to the spear not sure if its a robot or something. She opens up the med kit and looks over Iris seeing if there is any damage that requires attention.*

*Iris weakly hugs back*
Iris: Are you... okay?
*She sits up, even that movement almost being too much for her. She groans and holds her throbbing head. There are several cuts on her face and body from being slammed into the ground and bruises are forming too, but the wounds are minor and don't require serious attention*
*Horus staggers out to where Iris and Hanna are*
Horus: Iris!? What happened?!
*He stumbles towards her, still having trouble walking in his agonized state*

*Hanna gently pushes Iris to the ground and hugs her softly. She's happy, sad, scared and angry and this is evident in her erratic tone.*

Hanna: D-don't move. Y-you're hurt and you n-need to be still! W-wait until I-I've taken care of y-your cuts and b-bruises.

*Hanna's head goes to the med kit where she grabs something to clean Iris's cuts with. as she hears Horus coming she slowly looks up at him tears bubbling in her eyes. With her shaking hand she then points towards the corpse of Hugo.*

Hanna: H-he's from the lab... They know I-I'm here. And Iris g-got hurt. Just s-so they could g-get to me...

----

*Walter walks out of his room looking as drained as a giant insect man can look. He walks down the hallway slowly exhausted after redecorating his room.*

*Iris weakly hugs Hanna back*
Iris: Sorry... so sorry...
*She goes limp as her vision swims and blackness overtakes it. She falls unconscious on the ground*

*Horus frowns down at Hanna then over at Hugo. His anger is apparent as he lifts Hugo up and inspects him*
Horus: What is this? More genetic s*$&?
*He looks harshly at Hanna*
Horus: Come, we need to take Iris inside.

*Hanna freaks out a little as Iris KO's. She then looks at Horus as he picks up Hugo's body, she recoils when he says "genetic s*$&?". She then recoils some more when Horus sets the harsh gaze on her. But she eventually nods and goes to pick Iris up.*

*Before she picks up Iris she closes up then med kit and stores it in her back pack then gently slides under one of Iris's shoulders lifts her.*

----

*Walter slides towards the kitchen as fast as his food deprived body will carry him.*

Walter: ( I hate building... )

*Lecter gets back up (again) in time to see Karma get stabbed by Belak's back tendrils, and hoisted into the air*
Lecter: Put her the fuck down!
As you wish.
*The two tendrils rip through to either side, basically ripping Karma in half, except for a small portion of her spine*
*The Devil Hunter dashes forwards, hacking at Be'lak as best he can, yet the Devil blocks each blow while laughing*
We go to Hell. But not as Damned, that is the mortals' title.

*The centipede gets slowed and turns it's head to look at Vaseraga, but goes back to charging John when he sees Vaseraga fall*
*The tendril turns to dust as it's severed, and Sasha falls to the ground (like a fifteen foot fall or so). The pistol puts another hole in the Devil's head, and it's moving sluggishly at this point, and occasionally it's legs trip over each other*

*Jillian doesn't respond, simply walks out, and smokes her cigarette.*
*She then watches the storm silently.*

---
*John keeps blasting, and loads two of the quad barrels.*
*He manages to fire both barrels at the creature.*

*Sasha makes a loud crunch, and lays motionless on the ground.*
*Blood leaks from her armor joints, though she still clutches onto her lance.*

*The centipede gets shot in the head by the quad guns, and faceplants into the dirt (Not that it has a face anymore). It's legs spasm violently and lightning discharges randomly from its corpse*

*Be'lak, seeing that his gigapede died, growls and blasts Lecter backwards, into a tree*
Enough. Expect Hell to meet you at your home.
*A red rift opens in front of Be'lak, and he walks through it, his back tendrils waving around him as he goes. The remaining tendrils from the ground wither and die as their master leaves*
*Lecter groans and slowly staggers towards Karma after disentangling himself from the tree, his Devil Trigger form trying to heal his many wounds*
