Heavy swings found purchase on the monster's face, but seemed to do little more than bother the beast. A heavy clawed hand grabbed his maul and ripped the large Dominant off of its face, Akamu's landing displacing the water and impacting with enough force to tear apart docks and smaller boats alike as he crashed into the relatively shallow beach. Frigid water crashed around as the waves broke and fell onto him, though Akamu managed to suck in a breath before he was submerged. It didn't hurt so much, nor did his stone body feel the cold so much- turns out heavy stone was a decent insulator. But while his vision wasn't the clearest under the waves, Akamu saw the massive shadow above him growing and knew what was coming for him. Heavy stone arms lifted to his face, guarding his face and body as a pair of massive claws began to rip and tear at him. Sand surged around Akamu's body as heavy claws ripped gouges through his guard, filling and sealing the gaps in his armor as quickly as the beast tore at him- though sand wasn't quite as protective as solid rock. Now it started to hurt. Akamu grit his teeth as he could afford to do nothing more than defend himself, practically blind under the water- fighting both a lack of oxygen and the heavy attacks of this monster. Akamu wasn't even aware of the presence of something else until something knocked the beast off of him- someone or something else attacking it. Akamu could feel the rumbling of the earth and churning of water, as the shadow above him was replaced by another, larger shadow, shoving the monster out of the way. Akamu was glad for the reprieve- but what sort of monster was even larger than the one they faced? Finally pulling himself out of the water, Akamu found himself face to face- or rather face to back with Bahamut, the Dominant of the Void. If his stone body had hair, it would've stood on end, but for the moment, he just found himself rather shocked. At the very least, it seemed to be on their side, for the moment, though he didn't necessarily fancy the idea of fighting it if it came down to such a thing. The color drained from his face as he saw the maw of the great dragon open as it prepared to unleash death upon the creature- and likely anything or anyone close by. Akamu's eyes caught a glow of green and whipped towards it- Gaia, Laura having come out of her protective dome to help in the fight. The beast seemed practically culled- but now they had something else to deal with. [color=cyan]"Kika!"[/color] Akamu called out as he bounded over to her, heavy footsteps causing the ground to quake with each step. A powerful arm grabbed her and pulled her behind him, his other arm gathering up what few civilians remained close to them and slammed his foot on the ground, forming a makeshift shield of rock and stone. Would such a thing protect them from the wash of Bahamut's breath? No clue, but probably better than nothing. [/color] [/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent]
