Comforting. ... I think. [She laughs, then shrugs.] I'll follow you.

[Tosses aside cocktail glass, hearing it shatter on the floor before taking his chainsaw in both hands before revving it up.]

I'm ready~.

[Doesn't say another word, just leads the way up the stairs, looking around and taking it all in, blue fire still protectively coating one of his arms.]

[Might jump a little when Grell revs the chainsaw. Don't mind her giving it a wide eyed stare, before shaking her head. She'll get used to all this newfangled technology eventually. When Marco takes point, she'll take up the rear guard easily enough.]

[Grell pays her reaction no mind and happily takes up the middle, humming along in anticipation.]

[And the beast doesn't bother to make its presence unknown-- after all, they have disturbed his sleep. There's a rush of air when the Elvoret descends upon the trio, wings beating languidly as he hovers in the air. A mighty roar follows before he makes a swipe of his claws, his anger obvious.]

[Admittedly that was a LOT bigger than Marco had expected for the siren he'd envisioned as being more like a female Jinbei when made, but with a voice to drive men insane. Fortunately however, Marco had been known to deal with giants. Even his own adopted father would be considered a giant by most people's definitions.]

DUCK!

[Doesn't even give them to react just tugs Grell and Akiela down by the shoulders and protectively covers them with warm blue wings before rolling the side, getting up to fight for the next dive by.]

[She lets out a small "Oof!" as Marco snags her by her shoulder and yanks her to the ground. Falling in plate mail = not fun. Once he's done protecting her, she resists the urge to sigh, instead pushing herself to her feet and drawing her spear. She won't charge in yet, not until she's certain they're all ready to fight.]

That's a new one... almost looks like a demon.

[There was little time to react when Grell was tugged down, protected by Marco's wings. His grip on his scythe tightens instinctively before looking at their new play pal.

Stands up straight with a grin that meant there were fun times ahead. Guess this day is getting better!]

Doesn't matter in the end~. [He could already feel the anticipation, and hear it in his scythe.]

[The missed hit only infuriates the monster. Another loud shriek piercing the air, the Elvoret begins to beat its wings haphazardly, the dust below him kicking up and sending a mighty gust of wind to the trio of humans.]

[The wind sends Marco back up against the walls, even without the wings out currently, it's still a weakness for the flying devil fruit user. Still, he force himself back up closer, trying to figure out how to hit the thing while it's in the air.]

[Even with her armor, that wind is starting to push at her. With gritted teeth, she glances at Marco and Grell and gives a thumbs down before pointing at Elvoret. She's going to bring it down.

Whether they understand or not, she reverses her grip on her spear and suddenly dashes forward, straining her thighs against the wind before jumping into the air, leaping to an impossibly high height, aiming to crash down on the monster's back.]

[Grell begins to slide back before shoving his chainsaw into the ground, perching himself atop it like a gargoyle, red hair whipping around him. He caught Akiela's signal and watched her go, understanding it after watching her actions. That gave him an idea. He revved up the scythe and rode forward on it, circling behind it and out of the way of most of the wind. He rode up a nearby pillar vertically before pushing off, intending to help bring down the beast too. The scythe buzzed as he swung down, a crazed grin on his face.]

[There was a pained cry as one of the pesky humans leaped onto its back, and another howl when the redhead came barreling down as well. Body thrashing in a sort of frenzy in an attempt to shake the two off, the Elvoret flapped its wings faster, a clawed hand swiping down at Marco again.]

[Which more than worked for the phoenix who apparently had done an excellent job picking which women to bring with him. Without even switching to phoenix, Marco jumped off the ground with one leg to the other one directly into the long orange jaw which made such a convenient target. That done, Marco just started trying to draw from it, hoping they hadn't done too much or too little damage yet.]

[The sight of Grell practically divebombing the creature makes Akiela grin. Not that battle should be particularly funny, but nonetheless... it's an interesting sight. As Elvoret begins to shake, Akiela leaps off, aware that in this kind of armor, she won't be able to hold her position for that long anyway.

Once on the ground, she twirls the spear once, before thrusting forward, trying to draw its attention away from Marco who's... doing something. Hell, she needs to take a class already.]

[The scythe landed onto the side of the beast from behind, and with the new angry flailing the work to keep it there made Grell grunt in frustration. Damnit, it was messing up his hair even more! He was sure Marco could handle himself, as well as Akiela. If they needed help, they only needed to scream in pain.]

My scythe's found a new sheath. Allow me to provide the introductions! [With an extra grunt of effort, Grell brought the scythe down diagonally, falling with his weapon as it left its mark on the monster's back. Grell lands gracefully enough on the ground to the side of Elvoret, that crazed grin ever present.]

[The thick leathery skin on its back split open as a result of the chainsaw, but despite both Grell and Akiela's attacks, it wasn't enough to distract the Elvoret from noticing something tugging within in its mind, trying to pry its hold on the Guardian Force. Enraged, the monster flew a bit higher, its massive chest heaving as it collected an impressive amount of air.

Finally, the Elvoret let out its Storm Breath, the wind from its lung bursting out at an astonishing force towards the three humans.]

[Shit. One, two, three turns already? Marco knew he should have been playing closer attention. Blue flames course over him to heal the massive hit, cuts already starting to heal as though being cauterized and then he turns into a phoenix, not have much choice. At least Grell and Akiela already know about it. So he lets out a loud screech of equal fury, yelling in phoenix.] Don't touch my friends!

[Even the weight of her armor won't save her on this one. The wind sends her flying, landing in a clunky heap with a pained curse. As she pushes herself up, fighting back a wave of dizziness, she turns to look at Marco who has turned himself once more into a beautiful phoenix.

And for a moment, as she sees those brilliant blue wings, her heart gives a pained throb. It reminds her so much of her partner whose voice she can no longer hear, not since she entered this world.

Immediately, the regret is pushed down by a wave of determination. She'll grip her spear tightly, turn on Elvoret and start rushing forward. If Marco is going all out, so will she.]

[With Grell being so damn close to that Storm Breath attack, he took on a lot of damage in addition to being knocked into pillar hard. He dropped down to his hands and knees, his chainsaw fell to his side as that curtain of hair covered his head. With a grunt, he got on both legs again with the help of that pillar, indented slightly from his impact.

There was a lot of cuts on the front of him, and a lot of blood. The blood was tolerable, the cuts to his new bathing suit...were not. While Marco was an angry phoenix and Akiela rushing forth to skewer the beast, Grell was stewing with pure unadulterated anger.]

...my...new bathing suit... [Grits his teeth tightly, that rage bubbling up.]

How...how could you?!

[Angry Diva Mode was definitely ON as Grell took up his scythe and yanked on its string, taking a running start before teleporting in front of the beast, very much pissed, and went to slash at its front. The damage be damned, he'll heal in a few hours or so.]

DIE!!!

[Grell is this angry.]

[The language of the Phoenix was not understood by the fiend, but it hardly mattered-- the Elvoret could recognize the hurry within the bird, one that rivaled his own.]

YOU DARE DISRUPT MY SLEEP AND STEAL THE SIREN?!

[Once again, the monster raised a claw-- but the onslaught of both Akiela and Grell forced the beast to halt his attack, its body thrown back several feet from the impact of the two humans. A loud and pained roar tore through its throat as Grell's scythe tore through the thick skin of its abdomen, the wound forcing the Elvoret into a frenzied state as it attempted to shake the enemies off once again, clawed hands swinging blindly.]

[Well, fair enough. Marco always had wondered how the guardian forces themselves must feel about the entire arrangement.]

Hey man, learn to share. [Teasing tone despite the otherwise serious nature of the fight. Marco ducks another claw mid-flight, and kicks the arm hard away from Akiela and Grell phoenix talons, forced to use the acceleration of the air for extra strength.]

[The sight of Grell in a bloodlust frenzy makes Akiela a little edgy. She doesn't know Grell nor does she know his fighting style, two facts that make her weary of going near him. His weapon, after all, looks massively painful.

As Marco strikes away one madly flailing arm, she swings her spear up at the other, slamming the stave into where the creature's wrist should be, hoping to break bone, all in the name of allowing Grell to continue his raging attack in the name of his... clothes.

She'll need to ask Marco later if that's normal.]

[Grell finished his slash attack before teleporting out the way of it's attack. Thankfully, Akiela did help out greatly in that and give her a nod in appreciation before flickering out of sight. He appeared at another arm and slashed at that as well before flickering out of sight again, doing the same to another body point.

At this point, Grell was no more than a blurry red annoyance for the beast, and the redhead decided to just land cuts everywhere just for the fun of it. Wings, arms, neck, anywhere. The beast would be taken down anyway, so why not play with it?]
