Taki did her best to react to the oncoming tentacles but she was too wounded, too drained, too slow. She batted at them ineffectively with her sword, and then screamed in pain as they began ripping away at her flesh, exposing her collarbone and ribs to the air. She struggled and flailed, and then the third appendage bit into her broken jawbone. It chewed, causing Taki to scream again. Eyes wide, she scrabbled at the toothed jaw clamped onto her face, and then toppled forward, arm outstretched, broken jaw agape. Blood slowly began to pool beneath her

Nemesis moved closer. Absentmindedly, he grabbed Cassandra by the hair and dragged her body along as he shuffled towards the kunoichi. He loomed over the downed ninja, the flesh on the other side of his mouth stretching up in a gruesome grin. He began to reach down...


And then Taki struck. She sprang up, tentacle still hanging off her jaw, and pierced her sword straight into Nemesis' collarbone. Ichor and blood splattered her. She spared a quick glance at down Cassandra's pale face, eyes rolled up, mouth hanging open and tongue lolling, and she screamed in rage, using her whole body to twist the blade deeper. More ichor spewed, coating her face and bare breasts.
