Gabrielle barely had any time to defend herself as the abomination sprang towards her like it was shout out of a cannon. Due to her reflexes, she managed to get her hook swords up in time for defence and with knowing how much power the creature can put in a strike, braced as much as she could in the time possible.
Her effort was for naught however, as the creature merely tapped its large blade against her own in a feint as it moved towards the the smallest member of the group. Beta 8 was shocked seeing such a large creature head towards him at such speed an instinctively tried to use his power. His body began moving oddly for a moment before his power failed to manifest.
