[color=48CCCD]"Typical..."[/color] Serene muttered, now knowing no one was about she flew thru a few more rooms just to see if the classrooms would change from empty to full of people.
"[sub][sub]Well, we know the mermen are behind this. Maybe we should just leave now and report that. But we could keep going further. Or split up.[/sub][/sub]" Seras said very softly.
"Let's at least try to spot where that merman went, then we can get out of here and report." She said quietly. She was perpetually cloaking herself as she was sitting still gathering energy as well. But she couldn't do anything extraneous at the moment.
When Seras reached the corner the merman had turned, the merman in question thrust his spear out towards her abdomen.
Seras managed to not vocalize her surprise as she dodged back and away from the spear. She then used her gun to shoot the merman. It was silenced, but would still make a little noise.
The merman moved forward when Seras moved back, and thrust his spear towards her arm as she began to raise her gun, but before she had it aimed and could fire.
Stanley quickly entered Turn(), and pondered his choices.
He could risk hitting them both with his attacks, or he could do nothing.
He took his Risk, and in the blink of an eye, walked behind the Merman, quickly landed several Crash(Ping())es into his back[footnote]Ping increases the number of times you can use it in Turn(), and Backstabs cause more damage[/footnote], before Mask()ing again, and running to another room. The resulting force would probably propel him across the room.
The resaulting noise would sound to people a decent distance away like a fuse blowing, or something similar.

Seras would probably end up stmubling back an even amount with the mermam, putting them in relativly the same position. In any case, with her arm getting stabbed, her shots ended up raking the merman's abdomen and groin.
After spending eight minutes and ten seconds in its cocoon, the bug stirred again and ate its way out, crawling out of its makeshift burrow once eating the rest of the cocoon. It emerged with the damage it recieved to its exoskeleton in the strugle with the ganet gone, and having changed rather radically, its six legs were now positioned on the side of the bug's thorax, with the joins arranged in a way one would expect to see in a four-legged terrestrial mammal. It had grown a small neck seperating the thorax and head, and in the space between the the neck and front legs, it had grown a new set of small limbs with pincers on the end. Finally, it had grown a tail with a stinger on the end. It had also grown 7cm in height, and including the length added by the tail, 15cm in length.
Thinking on what to do first, the grub decided to try and fly again, with little improvement on its previous attempts. Landing especially didn't go very well, the bug just letting itself drop from the ground. After several more tries without seeing much improvement, the bug clacked its mandibles, then decided to get more to eat. When it began moving, the bug nearly fell over, as it wasn't used to walking rather then crawling. Moving more slowly then usual, it walked back into the high grasses, swaying with every step while its tail swayed equally clumsily behind it. With hunting out of the question with its immobility, the bug relegated to eating the grass, weeds and small what insects it came across.

Stanley Crash()ing the merman multiple times in a split second caused his spear to be driven through Seras' arm, and the blade grazed her body slightly. This, plus the merman being knocked into her by Stanley and Seras subsequently being knocked into the wall, caused Seras to be unable to aim her gun at the merman's body. Instead, any bullets Seras fired would hit his leg.
The merman, though dazed, made the simplest move possible and attempted to bite Seras in the throat.

Before the merman could strike, EMily saw her chance and uncloaked from the side. She used the available energy into a electrical stunning punch at the head of the merman while it was dazed. The energy she had also increased her physical strength.
The merman's muscles tensed up when EMily punched him, then he went limp as he fell to the floor, before he had even recovered from Stanley's attack.
