[This afternoon, the quirky merriment at Terre Haute has something very sudden cutting its way in. There's the very distinct sound of an explosion. It shakes the ground with a small tremor for but a brief moment. Those who are looking at a certain monolith in the distance may see that there is now smoke coming from it, parts of it crumbling and tearing away as black smoke begin to fill the air.

Something's happening at that strange "thing" that fell from the sky. But what? Dare you disregard the unsettling feeling that may begin to steadily fill the air?]

Ha? Me? Please! They so don't have any sisters cute enough to hit on.

[So not budging either, jeez these guys get uglier the closer they get]

So it must be you.

[And they're getting in range! One of them swings a nasty claw thing at Lloyd!]

Every time someone shows up to kill us, it's because you're some kind of fugitive--

[Okay, enough teasing. They're in melee range, which means it's go time. Lloyd feels terribly slow, but he's gotten used to it by now. He ducks beneath the claw and slices at the Collector's side, aiming for a fleshy bit between natural armor.]

Damn, they're tough!

[The collector has a buddy, who lunges straight for Zelos, trying to use its extreme stature to grab him by the hair.

RUDE]

Which I became because of you, if I remember!

[SO THERE. But oh right there's a battle. And that's VERY VERY RUDE. Zelos feels sluggish as well, but he's still quickly on his feet enough to turn so the claw slams against his shield than his hair with a "no way!". He'll then try to stab at it's arm]

Ugh I hate when they have exoskeletons!

Oh. [He can't really say no to that, and besides, they're in the middle of fighting. He aims the hilt of his sword at whatever passes for the collector's eyeballs, while the other claw goes straight for his neck, trying to disable Lloyd.]

I don't think so! [He still has another free hand and a sword, and tries to stab his foe through the midsection.

Meanwhile, collector B is dealing with a bleeding arm. It doesn't stop it from trying to grab Zelos roughly by the front of his shirt, as if it wants to drag him away.]

[The sword goes into the mid section! It screeches but like a crazy mindless drone? It tries to move down the sword to get at Lloyd. Creepy much huh?]

[Zelos meanwhile gets grabbed. He makes a shout noise before he tries to kick the guy hard in the leg to get free]

[Lloyd yelps and yanks the sword out sloppily, trying to get away. FUCK THAT NOISE. He glances over and sees that Zelos is in trouble, casually running another hilt into the first Collector's face, and then spinning and slashing at the other bug's back.]

Let go!

[Lloyd's actions will cause the first collector to fall over, too much organ rupture and hilt to the fact to really keep moving. And the slash at the back of the bug holding Zelos is effective. It loosens it's grip enough to let go of Zelos, who stumbles back as the collector staggers forward from the force and pain of the blow]

...Thanks. [It's said with only a slight grumbly tone, since it is a bit embarrassing he let himself get grabbed like that. But at least he seems to be okay overall and recovering his footing enough to try for another attack in attempts to bring that effer down.]

[Natural chitin can only do so much against pointy enchanted swords. The bug thing clutches its middle as it falls, not suffering from pain so much as its body not working anymore. Bugs, man. Bugs are weird.

Lloyd glances at the first Collector with a frown. It's unfortunate that he had to actually kill someone. Or something. He's not sure, but it still bothers him.

They'd tried to communicate, but it was like-- like trying to reason with crazed animals.]

Zelos, are you okay?

[We're in the Dead Zone, bb, no enchants- but yes the bug is totally dead. Zelos meanwhile doesn't feel any bother from killing the bug guy, or at least doesn't show any. He doubts whatever that thing had any nice plans for him if he had been successful in taking him]

[Weird that it seemed more interested in grabbing him than killing him though. He was pretty sure he was even open for a long moment there too...]

[But Lloyd's concern has him uncomfortable. So the answer of course is to push it off by being overdramatic. ]

Are you kidding? That jerk thought he could kidnap the great Zelos Wilder! Talk about serious nerve!

[~~That's what I get for writing tags at ass o clock in the morning.~~

Looks like things are back to normal for the Chosen. Lloyd is back to scouting the battlefield, seeing if they can cover some of the people running away.]

That's the first time something's tried to grab us instead of killing us. I don't know what that means, but it's probably nothing good.

Yeah, I doubt it's to take us for tea.

[Maybe WITH tea, if these are classy insect men. But details. Either way, he's scanning too, when he sees a couple left open to trying get into the city, he'll point]

Over there.
