Marietta listened carefully to what Ron had to say, but she did not slow down her pace. There wasn't enough time to be slow and steady anymore. Now they were coming up to the big dogs and they needed to be quick and harsh in order to reserve energy. When the boy finished speaking Marietta agreed with him. "If the bombs are to slow to work we can add in that, but that might take long as well. Trying to find something large enough to crush their heads will be a task in itself, unless we bring the whole building down on top of it, which would also take some skill." She deducted. Keeping her pace fast she turned a tight corner only to be snapped at by their next target. Falling back onto her rear, she began to grow angry. She didn't even have time to calculate what to do, this was out of her element. She was someone who planned things out, not just fired off randomly. She had to step out of her comfort zone and thought as she fired. Loading an arrow, she purposely misfired and let the Echidna dodge only to move right in line for another arrow she had fired and it sank deep in her snake like torso.
hey really sorry for the wait. some family matters happened.

Kiraku: There's one mistake you made when you cornered me in this alley, thinking you would kill me...
Ron only sighed as he heard her talking about the vegetable oil. "That's the thing about the stuff, it's fast acting and is easy to set aflame, though not as explosive as gasoline until mixed with it, and I meant more of one head crushed at a time, since heads don't exactly fall off when they're smashed in." Ron spoke as he put his spear in it's holder, his mind now going through the best weapon to use. 'The spear won't work in these close quarters when it comes to Echidna if we see her.' he thought as he resting his shield arm on his sword, his mind going through the possibilities before he realized something. 'The monster's howl was rather loud, so why aren't we seeing either of them?'
He was then jarred back into reality as he saw Marietta fall over after turning a corner as she fired two shots, his hand immediately going to his blade as he saw Echidna with an arrow in her torso. 'No way in Hades is that going to take her down. Have to get serious.' Ron thought as he drew his blade, soon splitting it apart as he saw the monster moving towards Marietta for a strike before his instincts took over. He then slashed the right blade down on Echidna's arms, unfortunately being the blunt side of one of his blades as he got in between Echidna and Marietta, his eyes holding a hollowed look as he began a barrage of attacks on the mother of all monsters, her movements slower than they would've been due to the arrow as she tried to dodge. She managed to dodge five quick swings to have both of Ron's blades extended with his arms apart, making Echidna move forward with a thought of victory.
"Fool." Ron simply spoke as he brought the two blades down together with blinding speed, severing the creature in half before it had time to react, the torso flying straight over him and turning to sulfur as he put the blades back together and sheathed them. He then turned to Marietta, his eyes back to their carefree look. "You got snuck up on rather easily there, didn't you?"
Irok: And that's thinking that you would come out of this alive.

It's okay, it's happened to me on more than one occasion, and I'm really sorry about the silence. Been skiing over at Utah and had a whole day to flying to the area, along with reunion's with people. Along with this, I've had to go and work on stuff all around the house, do a barrage of homework and exams, and nearly pass out in the process. So I'm really sorry about the silence and hope this one isn't too rushed.
The blonde Athena child rolled her eyes at Ron, she was very frustrated with herself that she had gotten caught off guard so easily. She needed to stay focused for this last monster. It was the big one and that meant this was going to be a lot of work. "Shut up." She hissed but there was a sign of playfulness, if it weren't for Ron, her arrows would have never taken the Echidna down. She brushed herself off, retrieved her arrows, and continued moving. This mission was nearing it's end and the last thing these do could do was take it slow. As she moved on, she felt the warehouse grow dauntingly quiet except for grumbling growls that could barely be heard. They sounded a good ways up and away. "I think we need to go up a flight." Marietta contemplated. They needed to find where she set of staircases were so they could reach the next level of the building. A few twists and turns later they came upon the door that lead to the stairs. Carefully opening it up, she made sure to scan the area before darting inside and flashing up the stairs, checking back every so often to make sure Ron was still at her heels. Once on the second level, the sound of the Hydra was more potent and near by. She felt her heart pound with adrenaline as she followed the sound of the beast.

"Understood." Ron spoke as he smirked, soon following as he rested his arm back on the sword while he followed, noticing the increase in pace. 'This will prove troublesome for the other two, so I better mark a few areas with something.' Ron thought, opening the part of the bag he usually kept markers only to find nothing, making him curse under his breath as he closed it and pulled out one of his daggers, stabbing his thumb a small bit before he smeared the blood on the first turn they took and did the same, not hearing either of the men he summoned but knowing they'd probably be there before he stopped with Marietta, soon hearing the beast above them before listening to his companion, soon nodding as he followed her and played his hand on his runed blade, his thoughts on the best option of attack while he turned to see the two warriors come to the hallway before he signaled them to follow closer, seeing as it wouldn't matter with surprise since they were taking down one monster now. The two then ran up to the door as Ron soon followed up after the Athena girl.
"Follow us from here on out without shadowing us, we wont need to use a strategy that require's people to be behind us to surprise our opponents now, but we will need people who can face." Ron spoke as the three exited the stairway and after Marietta, his free arm now in his bag before he tossed two vegetable oil bottles to each while he remembered something else. 'Gods curse me, vegetable oil burns, it doesn't explode.' He thought as he looked over to the two fallen warriors, his gaze stern while he thought through what they could do. "Run around the Hydra when we see it and spray it with these, or force the liquid down one of their mouths. When you run out, go to my bag where ever I set it and take more before repeating the process. Understood?"
He then received two nods before he turned back to the hallway they were taking, watching Marietta follow the sound while he pulled out another bottle, thinking to himself how to best deal with his mistake.
Irok: And that's thinking that you would come out of this alive.
