Their teamwork was inspiring! As tough as Bluebeard was, he was only keeping up with the combination of the three. Zira’s powerful legs proved effective combined with her ironshod hooves at deflecting his powerful slashes. She couldn’t land a decisive blow, and were she alone, it was humbling to think how easily he would beat her down. But without having to speak, Ruby was dashing around, rolling like a madwoman, smacking the man and distracting him enough for Zira’s assault to keep him off balance.
But Cornelius was the decisive factor. As splattered with that strange goo as he was Bluebeard couldn’t seem to move quickly. He tried, but she didn’t give him a chance to clean himself off. More importantly, she saw what Cornelius was doing with the Angler King. Bit by bit, the Sea King grew closer, and Bluebeard knew it. Getting desperate, he kept trying to escape, but neither Ruby or Zira would let him!
”Maybe if you fed him he wouldn’t be so quick to see you as food!” Zira taunted as the beast bore down on her opponent, who frantically tried to get away. But the Mink spun on one hoof, twisting in the sand several times rapidly, before launching her other leg out like a iron missle. Crackling with electro, she smashed her hoof into his chest. He continued to plead even as he was swallowed whole in a comic manner.....only for his jacket to be belched back out in a few seconds.
”Cornelius!” Zira was tired, but seeing her comrade collapse after making a demand of Ruby, she rushed over to sweep him up off the sand. She hugged him close, using her legs as cushions as she inspected him for injury. He was unconscious, and seemed to be mostly uninjured. Perhaps his pride a little damaged? Nonetheless she turned her muzzle to Ruby. “How about you? Are you injured? I am a doctor if you’ve forgotten.”
She was glad for this to be over. As energizing as it was to test her experimental drug in real combat, it was very taxing and she didn’t have the energy to keep up any serious fighting. Glancing to the Angler King, which seemed to be bouncing back and forth in place, wagging its big, strange tongue around, seemingly looking for more food. Though it appeared to be quite energetic now, happier, making satisfied noises. In fact, it seemed to take a liking to Ruby, flopping up to the girl and giving her a big, happy slurp with its tongue. This made Zira laugh. “It looks like he likes you! That makes two of us.”
