"Rah! Rah! Rah!"
Sandra's screams were almost already harmonizing with Cephalos's shrieks. Both flailing their arms wildly; one to attack, while the other to defend the almost endless barrage of sand lances raining upon it.
And with the rain of lances, ca a rain of flesh and blood. The once clean and white beach of Waikiki, now drowned in red as bits and pieces of Cephalos's flesh scattered everywhere; perhaps even almost smoking as their putrid sll clouded the air.
But even with this nasty sll, Sandra's heavy breaths still echoed; it has not even been a couple of minutes since she started her exchange with Cephalos, and yet all her energy had already been drained just trying to keep it from approaching the city.
She once again flailed her arms, throwing another barrage of sand lances towards Cephalos. This ti, however, it felt as if her arm multiplied in weight, causing her own body to be dragged down with it.
"K… kh," the only thing she could do was bite her lip as she fell to the ground; the little bits of brown skin exposed from her mask, now extrely pale. Her eyes, trying their best not to close as exhaustion slowly drowned her entire body.
However, as soon as her ears heard the disgusting squirm of Cephalos's flesh once again regenerating, she once again gritted her teeth; almost to the point of causing blood to mix with her saliva.
And with another scream, Sandra slamd both her palms on the ground; creating a wall of sand that blocked Cephalos's path. The wall did not last long, however, as it collapsed before it could fully reach its peak.
"S… shit," Sandra then whispered as she felt her body slowly succumbing to its fate. But before her body could completely plant itself on the sands of Waikiki, an arm wrapped around her.
"Thank you for holding it, ma'am. Please leave the rest to us."
"H… ha?" Sandra then lifted her tired eyes towards the voice that might as well be a lullaby ant for her,
"W… who?" She whispered, looking at the brown… almost golden hair flowing in the air.
"M… ga Woman?"
"...No, ma'am," Silvie almost stuttered as she heard the superhero's words, "I am g…
…We are the Baby Crew."
"Baby–"
And before Sandra could say another word, her eyes closed on their own as a burning flash of light erupted in the sky– almost like a teor freely flowing.
The teor then abruptly stopped, before once again letting out a blinding flash; followed by a whisper of a roar.
"Sun Babies!"
And as soon as those words reached Sandra's ears, the teor finally revealed the person hidden within– now holding two orbs of light that flicked almost snappingly. And with another quiet roar, Hannah waved her hand towards Cephalos, shooting the pair of fireballs straight at it.
"Kiee, die ga Woman!"
Cephalos blocked the two orbs of fire with one of his tentacles; its flesh, once again raining down on the beach– just a few more, and the tentacle he used to block the two fireballs would have definitely split in two.
But like with Sandra's attacks, Cephalos's wounds healed almost instantly no matter how severe.
"I sll you, ga Woman!"
"Are those the only set of words you know!?" Hannah bellowed; clicking her tongue as she saw the attack she made was completely almost ineffective, "This dude is barely even human anymore."
Before they left the beach earlier to get suited up, Cephalos's neck could still be seen; but now, the only part remaining of his humanity was the surface of his face… which stood out almost like a pimple with how it was placed on its colossal octopus body.
"Silvie, how is the local hero?" Hannah then said as she pressed the intercom connected to her suit.
"She's exhausted," Silvie imdiately responded, "I'll–"
"I'm fine," Sandra then gently pushed herself away from Silvie as soon as she saw the look of concern on her face, "Where did you guys suddenly pop out from?"
"We're from the Academy," Silvie answered as she watched as Cephalos continued to flail its arms in an attempt to block Hannah's babies.
"Academy… You an ga Academy!?" A little life was restored on Sandra's tone as she heard Silvie's words, "...But you don't look like the students that were sent here a few days ago."
"There are also students from the Academy here?"
"Yes, but they're currently on the other side of the–"
"What are the two of you chatting there for!? Do sothing!"
Hannah's bellows quickly drowned their conversation as she slightly flew near them.
"Can you get to safety? We'll handle this now, please rest," Silvie was about to fly away, but before she could do so, Sandra grabbed her wrist.
"I can't let supers with no experience fight–"
"You don't have to worry, ma'am," Silvie quickly shook her head as she gently removed Sandra's hand away, "We've at least been trained for several months to stay alive. Y–"
Silvie suddenly paused her words as she turned her head towards Hannah, who was busy launching a barrage of fire orbs towards Cephalos.
"My friend's asking if you're strong enough to provide back up," Silvie then muttered as she turned her attention back to Sandra, "But if you can't, it's also alright– you've done enough."
"...Back up?"
"Yes. Please keep targeting its legs and distract it as much as possible."
"Wait, I'm not–"
But alas, the only thing that Sandra could do was cover her face as Silvie suddenly jumped to the air. And soon, beams of red shot out from her eyes, trying to target Cephalos's human face.
But alas, the human face that should have obviously been Cephalos's weakness was anything but; it almost felt like Silvie was trying to pop a pimple that was able to crawl across the skin as Cephalos's face was able to transfer to different parts of its octopus body.
However, it would seem Silvie targeting Cephalos's face had an effect– as for the first ti, Cephalos's used one of its tentacles to attack.
"ga Woman! ga Woman… I sll ga Woman sowhere!"
Cephalos then once again scread as it flailed one of its tentacles– swaying it straight towards the nearest building across the street.
"..." And Silvie, who was targeting Cephalos's face, did not hesitate to retreat as she flew towards the tentacle, blocking the train-sized whip with her body. Silvie could only grit her teeth, however, as she felt the slimy skin of Cephalos wrapping around her.
"This… this is disgusting," Silvie muttered as her hair was caught by the sli,
"E… ew!" Silvie then slamd her fist, causing the tentacle to bounce; she did it again with more force, causing her hand to punch right through Cephalos's flesh.
"Ew… ew, Ew!" And with her loudest scream yet, Silvie used both her hands; instantly launching the tentacle away from the building behind her. But with her focus solely on one tentacle, she did not realize that another one was whipping straight towards her.
But halfway through reaching her, Hannah flew and moved to its path; taking in a deep breath as a sort of blade– No, as wings of fire erged behind her, stretching to the sides and almost imitating the smile on her face.
"My turn again."
