Before the Merciless Maya could follow up with another attack, the electricity spell coursed through its shapeless body, frying it from the inside. It let out a gurgling noise in its death throes. It twitched and spasmed before its red mask fell down the floor, breaking down into pieces before its mud-like corpses evaporated into countless dark particles into the air.

But that wasn't Fubuki's concern right now. Tom was injured, and from what she could see, it seemed to hurt him rather badly. "T-Tom-san! Are you alright?!" she rushed towards him. "W-was it hurt?" she asked. She saw the policeman being hit by the fire attack earlier. She was worried that he might get an everlasting damage from it. "C'mon, I think I keep it somewhere...!" she tried to search for her emergency first-aid kit in her pocket before she realized that she was wearing her nightwear. "Dammit! Where is that thing when I need it the most?!" she seemed to be very worried over the policeman's condition, thanks to her desire to help those who were in trouble.

Tom lightly probed at his torso. It hurt pretty bad, and felt like it was swelling a little, but he'd had worse before. He pulled off his mask, gently brushing her back. "Relax, Fubuki-chan. I've had way worse, I'm okay." He was still panting with exertion, and perhaps not as spry as he was a few minutes ago, but he was still plenty mobile. "It's nothing, I've taken classes in emergency first aid as part of the job, I'll be okay once we get out, promise." He gave her a quick smile, trying to assuage her worry before turning to face the direction they were heading previously.

"Dunno how much further we got left, but we were going this way, s'might as well keep going."

Still worried, Fubuki looked at the policeman for a while before she nodded hesitantly. "Okay..." she said. She could only hope that they could make it out alive. Considering that there were a lot of dangerous monsters lurking around the area, she doubted that they could even escape this place unscathed. If she died here, then nobody would know, even her family. Just thinking that was enough to make her let out a whimper.

"A-are we going to make it out alive?" Fubuki asked. There was fear in her expression as she looked at Tom. She looked like she was about to cry due to fear. "T-there are a lot of monsters here. Can we even make it out alive from this place?"

Tom reached out around him, trying to discern what he could of the area. Satisfied that there were no immediate threats, he turned to Fubuki, lowering himself to her height. "We will, alright?" he said, his face softening as he lowered his voice. "We don't know where we are, but that's okay. We're looking for the exit. These guys aren't too bad, we'll be able to get out okay. Trust me, alright?" he swapped the mask over into his right hand, giving her a pat on the shoulder with the hand that hadn't been thoroughly doused in creature blood. He smiled once before turning back around and sliding the mask back on. Argus came back into existence, giving him a moment to look around before nodding to himself. "Looks like the only way from here is forward. Let's keep moving."

Fubuki smiled slightly, feeling comforted. For now, she had to trust Tom for this. Seeing that Tom putting on his mask, Fubuki also conjured hers, but instead of putting it on, she held it with both hands against her chest. That way, she felt more comforted than before. Beast of Alaya once again stirred inside her head, as if humming.

She followed Tom from behind. She had to be careful while walking because she didn't have any kind of footwear, and her feet were unprotected from any sort of debris or dangerous objects that might injure her feet while walking.

While walking, they would hear a buzzing sound from somewhere. Fubuki stopped walking and looked behind. She gasped in surprise upon seeing a pack of giant beetles that were on fire. Fubuki knew it that they were in a place where monsters could be found, but seeing those beetles made Fubuki realized that this place was just plain insane.

"T-they're coming towards us!!" Fubuki panicked as she immediately rushed to hide behind Tom. For those who could count, there were six of Burning Beetle Drones coming towards their direction.

Tom instinctively snapped into his low stance, further placing the girl behind him. "I got it. You just focus on not tearing up that jacket and help me out when you can!" Were these normal circumstances, he may have found it hilarious that he included Danny's jacket into Fubuki's well being, but right now things were far from normal. They were coming fast, and unless Fubuki could cover him, he might not have enough time to Analyze them. He quickly gave up on that idea, taking a step back as the mist flared once more.

Argus appeared in a cacophony of noise, firing off yet another Zio at the closest drone.

"Alright!" Fubuki nodded. She also wanted to contribute. She didn't want Tom to battle these things alone. She looked down to her mask in her hands before she placed it on her face. As she put on the mask, she heard a static noise before Beast of Alaya surged out of her, materializing into the world, accompanied by azure, flame-like aura. The female figure clad in red clothing opened her eyes, preparing herself to attack.

One of the Drones shrieked when it was attacked by Tom's lightning spell. Its advance was halted, but due to their number, it didn't stop the pack from going towards both Tom and Fubuki. Seeing that they might be in a terrible situation, Fubuki mentally ordered Beast of Alaya to charge towards the Drones. The female figure brandished her twin curved swords, spinning through the air before hitting one of the Drones with the swords.

Unfortunately, the damage dealt wasn't as much as Tom's lightning spell. In retaliation, the bug slammed its body against Beast of Alaya's torso. The pain that the guardian experienced was transmitted to Fubuki, and the country girl let out a pained cry, doubling over in pain, holding her hand against her chest. There was no physical damage on her, but she still experienced the pain that her guardian suffered.

Meanwhile, another of those Drones fired an Agi towards Tom.

The intangible flames seared the police officer again, he recoiled as Fubuki cried out in pain. Without time to properly analyze them, it seemed like they weren't as susceptible to physical hits compared to his lighting. He pushed off of his knee, standing back up to full height. Tom was prepared for pain, both martially and simply by getting hit quite a bit, but from the looks of things before Fubuki hadn't received any of such training. He had to make sure to end this quickly.

Rather than target the closest offender, Tom fired off another Zio at the same target as before. The more that fell, the better their odds of survival became.

The Drone let out a screeching noise as electricity coursed through its shelled body. Seeing this chance, Fubuki mentally ordered Beast of Alaya to attack the same bug, this time not with her swords, but with another kind of attack. Beast of Alaya pointed her swords at the Drone before releasing out some kind of miasmatic wave towards it. The cloud of darkness seemed to be leaving some kind of decaying effect on anything it touched, and the Drone let out another screeching noise before it fell dead. Its shelled body seemed to shrink considerably, as if atrophied by the darkness itself.

"I did it!" Fubuki exclaimed. "I killed that thing!!" it definitely took her by surprise that she was able to kill the thing. But she was kind of distracted by it and she didn't realize when one of the remaining Drones fired a fireball towards her.

"Eep!!" she managed to duck, barely avoiding the fireball. But her hair was singed by the fire.

Meanwhile, another one of those Drones rushed towards Tom, intending to slam its body with a Bash.

Tom watched with a mixture of happiness and trepidation as the drone withered and died. "Good job! Stay focused, we've got a bunch more." he shouted over his shoulder, turning back to face the new onslaught of attackers. The officer scowled under his mask, raising his knife as one of the other drones elected to charge him. "No you DON'T" Tom reeled back, leaning back as far as he could without losing balance. As the Drone came in for impact, he swung forward, colliding literally head on with it. The hit was jarring, but thanks to whatever properties Argus had, it didn't hurt a fraction of what those fireballs did.

"Back off!" shouted the officer, as the gathering wall of mist called forth Argus yet again, loosing another Zio at the latest offender. As this burst of power left Tom's body, he felt the penumbra at the edge of his thoughts grow. He could last for a while longer, but how long?
