The projectile hits the creature, poking into it. However, scorpion venom in small doses is not especially deadly to large creatures, and this only serves to irritate it, whipping its tail, which you now realize resembles that of a scorpion, around.
In the time it was occupied with Tom, a huge beam of light from the moon descended down on the creature in 1 second, blasting and engulfing the monster down with the a beam she launched at the moon, to then reflect it down like a mirror amplified by it further
(Ok, there's no way you can do that.)
(Shooting it up or what? Cuz her power is moon light and all so its fitting)
(MFTL laser beams with planetary range?)
(Light realistically needs 1 second to travel the moon and Earth distance, its not mftl, you can even search it, also light travels these distances too irl, from sun to Earth needs longer though, so whats the issue exactly? She fires at the moon and it shines down after it the light from it)
(SoL beams with heat-based duraneg are still basically impossible for anyone to dodge)
(Aim dodge is a thing, also heat cant dura neg, unless specified, could still get out of the way though, not like it should stay there burning)
(Alright, I suppose I'll allow it for now then)
(Plus she used Tom distraction to it, otherwise could have jumped her till then, anyway waiting on a response in universe)
The beam moves upward. In 1.3 seconds, it has hit the moon. In 1.3 seconds, it has returned. All the while, the earth rotates on its axis at a speed of 1,525 feet per second, and the beam lands just under 4,000 feet away, somewhere in the city. The creature, seeing the light, has already rushed in your direction, leaping at you.
"Really man?"
As you kick the creature, it simultaneously grabs your leg with its tail, pulling it out from under you as you drop to the ground.
"Oh no you dont!"
You begin to spin the creature, roughly 300kg in size, and attempt the attack. The creature is unable to roll out of the way due to its fin's current formation, and instead attempts to lean aside. You punch it, your hand partially striking the right side of its head, and the head is pushed, along its axis, to the left, your fist going on to hit the concrete. You hear a cracking sound, and you're not sure if that was the ground or you.
It was both. You can feel a dull, throbbing pain in your hand, and the creature's tail is tightening around your leg.
"Mhhhgh!..."
"You got courage Tom, i will give you that, but its dangerous for you to be here, dont get too close to the monster man"
The sharper bit of the shovel leaves a cut in the creature, which shoots up blood onto all three of you.
In a fit of rage, the creature lashes out, swinging you in Tom's direction with its tail.
"I heard of bathing in the blood of your enemies, but it really stinks..."
She didnt pay attention on that, so the wolf girl ends up tossed at Tom, with Elide finding herself on top of her friend in an awkward position to an outsiders view
"Sorry...i didnt think it would toss me up at you"
"Well as i am the toughest and strongest from all of us, i will confront it up close, you can have the killing blow if you wish"
She ducks under it swiftly as she blasts a beam of light at its chest, concentrating and focusing it there as much as possible to burn through and make a hole in the lungs of the creature if it has success
(Took me quite a while, there's been a power outage. Sorry!)
Before Evelyn could get a word in, as her weary eyes spared Elide a glance, she took around ten steps ahead. Slowly, each movement as the sound of her heels and the tiny blades drawing lines and lines of concrete. At the eight or ninth step, that same blistering speed unseen by anyone would show itself, now hacking at the body of the creature before her tail severs it alongside the rubble of the vehicular remains.
"What the? Huh?!"
"Gran E?...how did you?...woah...."
(I will assume that my prompt worked)
"I didnt knew you can kick butt like this, you are pretty amazing! Why you never said you had the potential? I thought you were a fragile kind and lovely lady"
"Thanks for the compliment, young Elide...." Evelyn simply closed her eyes and lowered her head in response.
"Uhm...you are welcomed?...but still are you actually this freaking powerful and you didnt tell us! Especially to me! It makes me pumped up to see powerful individuals!"
"Uhhh, w-welll..."
"Right back at you, after making minced meat out of the creature"
"First we need to find a place to stay around, safe too and with a shower available...."
