Six listened to Joy yell, and chuckled quietly. "Good instincts."
At that exact moment, something that looked like a lizard and a wold had bred an unholy monstrosity into the world lunged from nowhere and landed on Ezra's chest. It toppled him backwards into the dirt.
It was the same color as the stone around them, and had blended in perfectly. It had been there a while, but was so perfectly camoflaged, it had been able to sneak up on them unseen.
It made a screeching noise, its mouth wide open over Ezra's face, saliva dripping down onto him from its teeth and long, purple tongue.
"EZRA!" Jenna screamed, rushing over to help him.
Ezra let out a little yelp before trying to roll the lizard thingy off him. "Eww." he said shoving it off and scrambling away. "What the hell?!" he yelled up at Six. "What is that thing?!"
"Whatever it is, stay away from it…"
Ezra turned to look at her. "You don't think I know that?" He asked, annoyed. He reached up and wiped, or tryed to wipe the slime off his face. Instead he just ended up smearing it over one side of his face. "Eww. this is so gross."
The creature would not be shoved off, seeming to stick to Ezra like its feet were covered in glue. It rolled with him, before sinking the long teeth into his shoulder, and beginning to grind its teeth.
Like it was chewing him.
The blood dribbled out of its mouth, streaming down Ezra's arm as his shoulder and arm went numb and limp.
Six just smiled down at them.
Ezra shoved again when the creature bit down on his arm. He let out a yell of pain then his arm when t limp and he lost all feeling. "Get this thing off of me!" he yelled at Jenna, who hadn't moved since telling him to look out.. Ezra grabed at it's feet with his one good arm and pulled up, succeeding in getting the foot half unstuck.
Jenna grabbed one of the creature's limbs and yanked on it, hoping to pull it off of Ezra.
The lizard-wolf just ground down harder with its teeth. It suddenly lifted all its feet, attached to Ezra now by nothing but its jaws, which were clamped shut with a force measured in tons.
It hung its weight from his mutilated shoulder.
Jenna winces as she listens to the screams and grinding of. . . something chewing on one of her friends.
"There's a one injury per monster rule, right?! Why isn't the monster gone?!"
(Is Jenna the only one who's been left uninjured?)
The monster didn't respond, and Six just chuckled at the question.
"Indeed."
"Ow, ow, ow,ow,owww." Ezra said as the thing hung from his deadish arm. He reached up and lifted it, if only to remove some of the wight, and held it out to Jenna. "Here hold this but don't move. It hurts." he said taking it and setting it in her arms. He then reached up and pressed his finger on the thing's jaw joint and it opened its mouth involuntarily. Ezra let out the breath he didn't know he was holding in and, taking the the thing from Jen he throw it as far as he could.
(How much do we want to bet that Joy's about to say some very not okay shit? Starting at $20! Do I hear a $25?)
Ōn’nyosh watched in his newfound silence. Normally, he would’ve made several comments right now, but there was no point when no one would hear them.
He glared at Six occasionally, and at Joy, but he otherwise just watched. It dismayed him that Ezra was being attacked. He would rather have had Ezra spared, but he couldn’t do anything about it. So, he made no indication that he felt anything, instead remaining completely impassive.
"Ow, ow, ow,ow,owww." Ezra said as the thing hung from his deadish arm. He reached up and lifted it, if only to remove some of the wight, and held it out to Jenna. "Here hold this but don't move. It hurts." he said taking it and setting it in her arms. He then reached up and pressed his finger on the thing's jaw joint and it opened its mouth involuntarily. Ezra let out the breath he didn't know he was holding in and, taking the the thing from Jen he throw it as far as he could.
Joy looks furious.
"Look, I don't know or care how they do things in Freakworld or wherever the fuck you came from, but in this world, we don't play with lives. Not unless we're pot bellied snaggle toothed freak-os like you, at least. So let me go, you big lipped Burger King foot lettuce, and stop hurting my fucking friends."
(Burger King foot lettuce?)
(Old meme- "Number 15, Burger King foot lettuce." It was very popular in 2017, 2018)
(Yep- but I don't like Burger King, hence why I remember it and put it here)
The creature ignored Ezra's attempt to open its jaws, instead ripping his arm off at the shoulder when he tried to throw it. It turned and ran away with the arm like a trophy, still gnawing on it, even as it spurted blood everywhere.
Ezra disappeared for a moment, before reappearing in the lab, back in his cage, his shoulder bleeding quickly. Six turned and spit on the stump, his acid saliva cauterizing the wounds and stopping Ezra from bleeding out.
"Trying to pry it loose, not a smart move."
Six glanced at Joy, but ignored her outburst. The Burger King insult was a new one, but he managed to contain the unhinged giggle bubbling up in his chest.
Jenna stood there completely shocked as she tried to make sense of the situation.
