Orous rises back up, seeing Suzi and her band carrying Kyou away, nodding and sending a thumbs up. Okay, good...now she couldn't-
"That's what you think, come here!" Emory cries, rolling back to her feet and darting for the children, nose raised to slice them all in two!
"Oh crap, get down!" Tossing himself forward, the shipwright grabs ahold of Emory, locking her head in place and causing the fishwoman to miss wildly. The two crash onto their backs, with Orous exhausting himself just trying to hold her still, her flailing causing his head to smash continuously into the stony floor beneath, cracks opening from the impact.
"Gkk! Enough! Your crew is...almost down. Surely you know tha-"
WHAM!
Another pounding from her skull leaves him dazed, his grip loosening enough for Emory to wriggle free, sending another jab right into Orous elbow.
A scream tears from his throat as he lies paralyzed, his arm desperately trying to push the fishwoman away as she approaches. Each step sends the bladed nose deeper, eventually piercing through his back as blood trails down the tip.
"You...little RUNT! You think just because you're stronger that you can give ME an ultimatum?! We didn't forget what humans are like, we're not the ones that gave ourselves up to them...that was you! You left your kind behind...you were a runt then, but now you're not even one of us!"
A fist smashes into Orous's nose, blood spurting in a spray and painting the front of Emory's shirt, the one grinning wide as she continues.
"Come on, Orous! If you're really a shark, show me them jaws! Come on, you weakling! Show me! Show me! Sho-"
And show her he did...in an act of pure desperation, brought on through pain and utter, blinding rage, he opened wide to show her, swallowing her arm...
The scene was no doubt hard to watch, especially for those surrounding. Orous was at her complete mercy! But, the instinct to help, while strong, was something that had only one solar opposite, something that could bar it from sprouting forth...
THUD!
A body falls from on high, scaling the wall and landing in a heap by Suzi, Tom and her gang. A body horribly bloated, purple and pulsing with rotted flesh. It wobbles for a few moments from the impact, settling right as something else lands next to it...
A severed arm.
Not a moment later, dust kicks up as the arm's owner falls in a heap next to it...Kaisr Lonheart.
"Ngh...dammit. That two-bit carpenter could've at least told me he was poisonous..." He says, looking around for his arm before giving a brief sigh of disappointment.
"Dammit...well, there goes that. I'll have to see about getting a new one...hm? Oh my, what's happened to you lot?" He says, questioning Suzi's predicament before seeing another shower of bodies, quickly pulling the girl and her group away to safety.
"Don't let those bodies touch you, his poison reacts very quickly," he says, shielding his eyes as he watches another figure fall from the sky, a rocky exterior pounding into the ground and kicking up a swirl of dust and blood. En Kurtz.
"Hhhhhnnn....Lonheart...You owe me your other arm..." The Fishman says, violet spittle hanging in strands from his craggy jaws. Coils of smoke rise from where they land.
Ripping part of his jacket away, Lonheart rushes forward, aiming to deal a covered blow to the Fishman, leaving Suzi and the others alone. The battle was raging around them, with several other Nobles bodyguards joining the fray; however, would it be enough, now that the dreaded captain himself had landed?
