The rounds pierced the back of the "head" of the monstrosity and it howled a sickly distorted screech of sheer terror, at the level where ears hurt. It's tentacled arms flailed and tried to swipe at the assailant as Duos squeezed another shot off. The second shot penetrated the underside of one of the arms as it spasmed on it's way to Duos, slamming into the soda machine with such force that it looked like a empty crushed-in-the-middle soda can, curling around it, nearly 45 feet in length itself. It had the effect of making it easier for Jynx to evade some of the other swiping tentacles and get close enough to make a serious incision into it's distorted and black roiling flesh, from which already a burning liquid was already seeping from it's gun shot wounds. Darion's short controlled bursts had the effect of keeping it's momentum off of the rest of the group and putting up an effective screening for the others behind him. It wasn't but a moment before the rest of the Fire Team let out with their own short controlled bursts and started moving forward with Darion, creating a spray of covering fire now that was expertly missing Jynx but also plugging the monstrosity full of holes.<br/><br/>Darion realized now that there wasn't just one "insane bitch..." in the hallway but this monstrosity was the second one.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
