Graham looks over the corpse of this Chrome monster. This black goop which he's assuming is the blood of this awful monster, Only through the wound caused from his Umbrakinesis allowed him to get any sample from the insides of it. The Chrome skin seems to be tougher than anything in the Lab's tool set. Alloy suddenly flies up to him in a panicked state.
"Graham! There's more of those monsters, One of them is attacking Leslie!" Alloy is in a hurry to get him out of the Lab to rush over and help Leslie. This whole thing is a big problem for both of them. "We were halfway to the crash site, It might not be too late!"
The fear spreads across his face, This whole thing is the worst situation after she Joined. Graham drops what he's doing to run out of the Lab and rushes to exit the ship. He's not going to lose someone on the crew when they just joined? That's one of his worst fears. He can't believe more of those monsters appeared.
He rushed out of the ship into the hot wasteland of Ulliea. Graham has to get there quickly but something flies towards him, It's luckily dodged by him jumping to the side. Another monster? It's covered in polished copper and Its muscles are grossly huge for something humanoid . He didn't have time to deal with a monster like this. However, The speed of this monster wouldn't allow him to run away without it attacking him from behind.
"Leslie, I'm sorry but hang in there!" Graham forms his Starry darkness from his shadow and forms a blade to replace his lost steel blade. Nothing like normal weapons couldn't harm these creatures even a Steel weapon would be like a wooden stick to them. He's hoping that Leslie isn't dead yet.
The Situation with Leslie is much better, As the Obsidian monster jumps forward to attack her with its horrible jaw. She moves her arm to block the jaws, Her body is made of this living crystal and pain is dull. The Fangs cause bits of crystals to fall as it struggles against her arm.
Leslie's body slowly feels more colder as her crystals grow more wild. Her mind swells in an unknown feeling and some knots in her gut. It felt like her mind was fading as her Crystals grew more than anything before until something warm was felt. This feeling snaps her mind out of it for a second as a voice is heard.
"Calm down, These crystals are apart of you like your hands." Alloy's voice is heard from Leslie's right shoulder. It's bad when someone's power goes into an unstable state but she seems to have interrupted the Over-Flow. "Don't control them through your feelings, Try focusing on giving them an order."
An order? She remembers when they disappeared during the Chrome monster attack because she wanted them too. There's a moment of clarity as the memory flows through her mind and a smile overshadows her old feeling of weakness. This monster hasn't been able to bite through her bones this whole time. The Crystals slowly move to her right arm before punching right into the jaw of this monster to free her arm. It's covered in cracks and missing bits of Crystals from the jaw shredding it.
"Man, This body is pretty tough! I underestimated my strength this whole time." There's some feeling within her body that's telling her to kill this thing and her body burns with it like an unending desire. Her left arm is covered in her remaining crystals to form protective armor while being a weapon.
Its upper jaw is clearly broken and cracks formed from Leslie's powerful punch. It goes forward to slash at her with its powerful claws but she puts up her left arm to block. Those crystals cause the claws to shatter from their impact. Black Goop is leaking from its mouth and fingers at this point. This feels amazing to Leslie as the feeling of powerlessness from the past monsters left a sour taste in her mouth.
She winds up a punch that causes cracks in its chest then another with less wind up. It starts to become a flurry of punches as she starts giving the monster less time to react. This thing seems to be much more brittle than those Chrome monsters because it starts shattering under her unending attack against it. The dry dirt under them is slowly covered in its dark goop until it falls down. She gave it no mercy.
"Huh? Why did I want to kill it that badly? It felt correct..." She felt like it shouldn't have existed but why? What is that natural feeling from seeing those things? It's a bit worrying that her body would suddenly feel like that, The same thing happened with those chrome monsters.
As that fight has ended, Another fight is merely heating up. The Copper monster causes small dents in the dirt and crushes any rocks into gravel. Graham feels the force of its punch first hand and It sends him sliding a few feet from the monster but he manages to slash it. The cut is much more shallow than he expected. This thing is much stronger than those chrome monsters from yesterday in terms of speed and power.
He cannot take any more of those hits, His body just recently healed and this thing hits harder than the last monsters. The Copper monster throws a few punches in rapid succession and He's barely able to block the attacks using a hardened Starry Darkness to absorb the impacts. He's burning through his stamina to protect himself from huge chunks of damage.
This is a terrible turn of events for him, First Leslie is under attack and he's dealing with this tough monster. Graham cannot feel worse as a dreadful feeling washes over him about the fate of Leslie. He doesn't want any of this to happen but those damn monsters, They just awful. His instincts say give them no mercy and go wild on them.
"Graham! Leslie has defeated her enemy, She is safe for now." Alloy yells towards Graham about the news of her beating that Obsidian monster. She hopes this helps his morale in this fight. "Don't worry about her and focus on beating the ugly thing!"
"With Pleasure." He says with a grin because of him trying to save some stamina for Leslie rescue but that's no longer needed. The Starry Darkness swells in his blade and his shadow completely changes into something like the starry night sky.
It swings their fist towards Graham with the copper arm only to be easily avoided by him turning his body. The movements of this monster are fast and powerful but lacking in any impressive technique, Mostly just attacking in a mindless pattern without anything truly hard about it. He slashes downwards onto the arm of this monster. The wound is much worse than the shallow ones in the past.
"Let's see how strong you really are." He doesn't let up on his attack against this copper monster. The blade is much sharper and uses his full strength against this thing. It doesn't stand a chance from how many openings it has. "You're way tougher than those Chrome ones."
The copper monster is able to stand while covered in wounds and leaking that terrible black Slime. He feels no pity for something that's attacking him for no clear reason. It throws one last punch toward him but simply gets blocked. The damage has weakened it to this level and ripe for finishing, One more slash from Graham's Starry Darkness ends the monster. The body falls down and kicks up some dusty dirt from the ground.
"Hey Captain, You got into a major battle here?" Leslie managed to walk back to the ship area after her fight. She still has her arms covered in her crystals in case more monsters appear. The monster's muscle structure grosses her out from how unnatural it looks.
"Yeah, There's more monsters on this planet than I expected..." He looks at Leslie and is kinda confused at her sudden usage of her crystals. It's good that she has gained control over them. However, They're covered in the black goop from that obsidian monster. "You should wash up in the lab, That might be a bio-hazard."
"Ugh, I feel gross having this stuff even being on my crystals..." Leslie starts walking into the ship while slightly gagging at the smell of that stuff. She's probably not bothered by stuff like poison but her body can still smell which has some pros and cons like smelling this monster goop still. Graham joins her in cleaning up.
Alloy looks towards the defeated monster. Her Scans show that it died but the idea of them appearing on this nowhere planet means only one thing. They're spreading all over the place, It's about time for him to know. This might freak both of them out but knowing that information might help him understand his father's life better.
