With Lucy's gunshot, a downpour of water from the fire sprinkler system descended, accompanied by the shrill sounds of the emergency system, alerting everyone in the hospital of the potential "fire" started. The girl started laughing, even as Lucy discarded her pistol, preparing to enter close quarters combat, " ~aah, you've gotten rusty~ Little Lucy, the lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves." As she went for the grapple, the girl gripped her wrist and Lucy was struck by the strange and horrifying sensation that her energy was being sapped.
Fortunately, Lucy would be spared the long term effect of this as John approached.
Quickly turning, the girl flung Lucy straight into John, all the while once more making her finger gun, "Coal Chamber..." Electricity crackled from the stand, and despite the apparent threats of mixing water with it, she didn't seem to mind.
With Suzie's words of encouragement, the rottweiler bolted forward.
She was right, he did have somewhere he needed to be. That little boy needed him, as did the man and woman. He needed to protect them... protect them from that thing.
Just as the girl was preparing to unleash a blast of electricity, the dog pounced, teeth sinking into her shoulder. Unfortunately, the element of surprise was limited in its advantages, for the metal-clad fist of Coal Chamber punched right through the hound, splattering the nearby wall with gore and blood.
"~such a shame~ Would have made for a fantastic companion with some training," The girl said, hand resting on her now wounded shoulder.
