Leo had been on some crazy rides before, natural and artificially created. One of his favorite hobbies had been jumping off waterfalls into the rip tide's below more as sport than a death wish. That however didn't compare to doing near the same thing in almost complete darkness in channeled currents. After nudging Zanko only to fall in himself the infamous mercenary would hardily register Mamoru, Zanko, or the Gaunt until they had been spit out into a pool in a vast cavern room.
"Fuck yeah!"
Exhilirated more than he had been for years, bridged once more on a trial of life or death with every possible portrait of death and trials littered about. How were they going to get out of this? A mute question as something stirs with their wading through the water. Ignoring Mamoru, Leo would watch as Zanko rushed it before he could. Dashing through the water himself at an almost reckless pace up towards the behemoth before slowing to a more cautious step a bit more in front of the creature than Zanko's swipe at its side arm. Bringing his right fist back with a flash of hypnotic tangible scarlet Ki he'd introduce his Rank D Demon Fist technique right into the side of the beasts belly from just outside of its wide appearing strike range.
He didn't expect the blow to send the massive creature flying, only knock it over perhaps or divert its attention from Zanko's almost humorous attacks made so by the wooden stick that Leo doubted would do much or any slashing damage on the hide of a monster that live's around boulders as a boulder in appearance its self. Back stepping to get a better vantage point on their enemy Leo would call out to the other two in a shout to further agitate the creature in his direction. In this circumstance Leo was more worried about it throwing something than lunging about with any manner of speed.
"I'll draw it's attention. Zanko, try to spy any weak points in its armor. Somewhere to strike the spine or a major artery so we can bleed it out if we have to. Mamoru! Make sure there isn't any more of these around, or anything else that could complicate this ******** up homework assignment."

Just as the strange boulder began to wake and take on its true form, it spotted a few odd beings in the area; these new faces had to be intruders whom lurked within the serene, age-old meadow which was its home. What were they doing here... what did they want? His treasure?! These children would not have it, for the treasure they sought to find within this isle, a gift many fore them sought to protect, proved false to its facade of a meaning. Its origin was ridden in the desecrated blood of their ancestors for it was too late for these to realize the nature behind their visit to this sacred place. Whom here was the true enemy? The beast took Leo's strike to the belly, in fact, inviting it as it hefted an iron-spiked knee to the sky, aimed for the male's own abdominal area; Leo's attack would not appear have any visible effect for the moment... perhaps because he had struck the wrong place, or mayhaps because of the golem's massive weight. Unfortunately for the opposition, the beast had no such anatomy similar to any living being. It was pure stone... in essence, a boulder. On the other hand, having the rocky form it did, few but certain areas among its body had eroded over time. Such weak points were resembled by very thin cracks, yet perhaps visible to someone with the correct talent to spy such points. Truly, one alone could not take down this ancient monster; it would take teamwork to do so, even if the creature was on its very lonesome to face these three intruders. Reaching out with an odd arm, it lashed out toward the general target of Zanko's torso, should the student attempt to attack.

Zanko Nerro The Great Flying Swordsman
§__° _°_ °__§
Zanko wasn't talking at all, he was in the middle of a charge before he saw the beast swing out an arm towards Zanko. He jumped as hard as he could and managed to land on the beast's hand as it pulled back. He grabbed onto some stuck out rubble to use to hold himself there.

ℳamoru watches Zanko and Leo charge at the beast, while he examines the strange stone monstrosity with his glowing red eyes curiosity to his Chi Sense skills. After the two comrades-in-arms launch attacks at the creature he notices strange cracks or small points in the golem's chi system. He smirks darkly as he hopes off the faceless winged beast launching it forward at the golem ordering the faceless beast to strike at certain areas with the massive claws to test a theory about the golem. His faceless being lashes at the Golem's stone body with a loud screech as the strikes are aiming at the shoulder region, while he stays back out of the way monitoring the creature for any changes or weakness with his glowing red eyes. If the golem avoids the night gaunt's attack it will lash out with its barbed tails with intent to slam them into the possible points near the waist with a whip-like motion of the tails.

Delivering the blow from a short distance Leo wouldn't be able to back peddle through the water fast enough to dodge the spiked knee ramming indomitably into his comparably light weight frame. Twisting his body at the last second to take the blunt force rather than the business end with a bit of aided Ki in the form of Rank E Shuffle with his nerves instinctively recognizing this as a situation that warranted a measure of caution. Clinging both arms about the spike as it continues forward only to release at the pivotal moment to use the last bit of momentum to jump back. He however didn't expect the sheer force bracing himself for a five foot dash back that ended up hurling him almost 20 feet backwards to land in the water at an angle that slapped his back down against it before regaining his footing to stand quickly.
In the dim light Leo's own eyes would illuminate a depth less almost abyssal laced scarlet. Lamentably they didn't aid in any manner of enhanced sight though his eyes had adjusted to the spectrum of dim and shadowed darkness painted around their potential watery grave. In a random though, very random, originated through an almost solid 6 months he'd spent playing most every game there was in the back of a Gamestop some young spirited manager worked at that he'd been ******** around with from the first day he'd made it into town. California was a hospitable and lethal place. Not pondering long on the thought he'd continue to mark his distance carefully while advancing while shouting out at the creature rather than his companions.
"Hey there, champ! On the off chance you can understand me you wouldn't happen to be new around these parts? Perhaps threaten the school up the road? You look like you've been down here awhile..."
Brandishing a devilish smirk laced below both ominous scarlet pools of perception. Leo had been sober for too long. He was starting to remember s**t just a bit better than his normally would in his absent minded habits. The assignment they had been handed stated something about a 'New threat' which would seek them out if they didn't kill it first. From the looks of the formidable elemental golem that had stirred to attack them it had been lingering down in the random depths they had been cast into for some time. It was probably a foolish thought, though if they ended up killing some local guardian Leo didn't mind looking the fool at a decent distance to avoid some of the ******** up s**t they could do to the three of them in some twisted form of 'Detention'. Terrible, terrible things...

Zanko looked to see the Night Gaunt charging to strike at any thin cracks before he moved out of the way, staying on the arm. He was trying to analyze this creature as he knew what it exactly was.

Its hand/arm was not the best place to cling to; perhaps Zanko hadn't noticed that some form of energy suspended this limb away from its torso. It would not be long before the arm suddenly twisted and slammed into the ground below, hurting or even crushing Zanko if he would not move.
Not a moment later, a large night gaunt closed in on the rock golem. Being so heavy and well-armored, the beast seemed to lack the ability to keep up with the flurry of strikes that the gaunt sent its way. The stony form swayed as it retreated back a few steps; it managed to dodge a few of the blows, but many still hit. CRACK! Suddenly, a few lines across its figure became slightly visible to the naked eye... though the dimly-lit area would still make it difficult for most its opponents to see these weak points. During the last few attacks from the large gaunt, the golem's free hand would suddenly rocket forth, aiming to pierce through the gaunt and onto Mamoru at blinding speeds... an attack which was unexpected from such a massive enemy.
Hearing another's voice, the beast became slightly confused as its attention was temporarily distracted by Leo, whom had recently recooperated from his tumble. The golem didn't take more than a second to start running for the male, hoping to crush him with all of its solid mass. A moment 'fore it reached the boy, it would surprisingly stumble and roll towards him like a giant dog who lost balance whilst chasing a tennis ball.

Zanko Nerro The Great Flying Swordsman
§__° _°_ °__§
Zanko held tight till it began to spin, it was then he released and launched himself at the torso before the arm crashed into the ground. He grabbed onto the torso and proceeded to try and dig his way into the beast as best as he could. He was trying to grab any loose to get at it's insides.

ℳamoru curiously watches with his glowing red eyes as his massive winged beast slashes at certain spots across the golem's stone body. His eyes widen in shock as the golem launches a massive stone fist at his beast causing it to explode in a massive shower of black blood and deformed flesh. He dives out of the way of the giant fist as he had been observing the golem from the beginning, which allowed him to notice the path of the attack. He spurts as he comes out of the murky swamp water with his red eyes glowing brightly in the dim light before the swirling black matter of the fifth dimension engulfs his body. The voice deep with his mind shouts,"Kill the stone monstrosity for daring to harm use" as the energy around him builds to new heights. He narrows his eyes as he forces two pitch-black rifts to tear open on both sides of the stone creature. Two face-less monstrosities clammer out of the rifts in space as the respond to Mamoru's wordless summon with a single deafening screech before swiftly flying toward the golem, while it attacks Leo. Once the face-less beasts have a free line of sight, they would lash out at the same location as their fallen comrade before them.

What do you despise?
"Fuck it"
Nobody could say he hadn't tried persuasion outside of mindlessly attacking the giant creature that had only appeared to react to their abrupt entrance. Coincidence? Having been tossed back a solid distance Leo would retain some measure of it with the previous spiked knee in mind. Observing very little even with his adjustment to the dim environment, capable of comprehending Zanko on the creature's body vaguely. He would however watch the strange creature from a bit earlier launch its self at the boulder like monstrosity. Not close enough to observe any cracks so much as the audibly registerable impact that resounded out.
Now, if that thing could hurt the creature Leo gambled he could step it up a bit himself. He was bold, boarder line arrogant concealed behind a visage of casual indifference. Would it surprise anyone that knew Leo from more than one occasion that he'd start walking up to the giant golem instead of running away?
No. No it would not.
Brandishing his usual half entertained half devilish smile the still ambiguous student would mindfully advance his footing through the muk with heavy foot falls to test the foundation of the ground below. When the creature turned to advance on him it wouldn't come as a surprise. He'd meant to draw its attention before, though got trumped by the night gaunts winged assault. Demon Fist was a skill meant to blow an opponent back rather then inflict damage. He'd used it as a test, and a means to attempt stunning or catching the golem off guard. Neither had been successful. So what would he do now?
He'd anticipated striking the creature's lower body as it advanced. Chance would have it Leo stood at the perfect vantage point to watch the creature tumble unbalanced straight towards him. Opportunity well received gods or goddess's of Ludus. Shifting forward as the golem's head tumbles down as an unbalanced dogs would if its front legs lost support while sprinting forward. Rushing forward with his right arm tucked back, fist clenched to thrust in a gamble that would string along Leo's contribution to the fight. Uncertain if C Rank force was enough he'd deliver a devastating D Rank Punish uppercut straight up under the beasts chin to counteract its unbalanced downward momentum. This truly still frame worthy picture immediately followed by his left fist drawing back powerfully with its own infusion of Ki to impact any visible crack or otherwise the center of the upper torso right below the neck with D Rank Cannon force in an attempt to further halt the beasts undoubtably immense momentum. The force of the punch utilized to aid his stance backward should the creature continue forward regardless
BOOOOOOOM
Drawing his arms back quickly for whatever brief period of a pause there may be to deliver a C rank flurry of Violent Fist's directed at the creature's neck, face, or head before finishing with another D Rank Cannon punch aimed with his right arm in one final attempt to stop any further momentum the creature had before it could pin him against something or crush him altogether. Upon completion Leo wouldn't stick around to notice Mamoru's two new night gaunts. He'd expended a solid amount of Ki and could feel the affects which prompted a cautious retreat backward and off to the left side of the beast in a semi circle to face it's side while all the while back stepping to put more distance between them. If necessary he'd dodge roll to the side should the punches only slow it for a moment mindful of any flailing boulder limbs.
Although Zanko's attempt to dig away at its solidity in order to get to its insides was without avail, his move was not completely ineffective. In fact, while this age-old creature ran toward Leo, the latched on Zanko managed to act as a counterweight that would aid its stumble.
Most of Leo's hits had connected with the being's body, though the ones that proved effective of all were the few that connected near or to the chinks in its armored structure. The cracks grew longer, wider. There was nothing behind Leo to pin him to, and the man's strenuous effort surprisingly slowed the beast down to a near halt.
Unfortunately, what everyone seemed to neglect, as it had tumbled onward, was its floating arms. One had laid low and managed to creep up behind Leo, seeking to pierce his back while he was busied with the last few strikes. The other arm would pull Zanko off of its torso and throw him with substantial force at Mamoru.
Meantime, Mamoru's gaunts buried their precise strikes into the beast's forcefully expanded weak points, causing a dozen large portions of its figure to fracture and fall off of it. It became enraged. The ground rumbled as it sought to tackle the intruder 'fore it once more, this time not losing balance upon its feat.

ℳamoru watches from afar with his dark red eyes glowing, while Leo and Zanko fight in close-quarters against the slowly crumbling stone golem. He smirks in satisfaction as his beasts attacks manage to cause the being to crumble. He narrows his eyes as he witness Zanko flying toward him, which causing him to sigh before stepping aside out of the way. He taps his chin as his contemplates the beast's arms before he thinks,"Three of us against one and yet he can effectively face us with his floating detached arms" as he commands his beasts to continue attacking the golem. He continues to watch the growing cracks on the stone beast's body before he shouts,"Brash and Leo focus on this thing's arms. I'll use my winged beasts to keep attacking this things body" as his beasts slash at the golem's torso with their claws aimed at the growing cracks.

Zanko was flung at a harsh speed, by passing Mamoru, but he hit the ground hard, skidding along side it as he cussed slightly in pain. He slowly got up and soon replied to Mamoru. "The Arms are detachable...he'll be rocketing each one at us....we need to capture a sol piece in it to keep it from reforming....which means, the arms and the body all have one each."

Unfortunately for Leo he hadn't anticipated the disjointed arm being manipulated individually from the whole. Bravado perhaps. Weaving his previous skill's together in a stance that moved his body rather then appearing stiff which proved the difference between life and death had the spike pierced his spine dead on point. Oblivious of the limb his previous motion to dip out after the last few strikes would be ruthlessly aided as the spike slice's a cut along his side mid abdominal in a shallow gash above the hip. The blood loss wouldn't be significant initially as the rest of the solid portion of the arm connects not with any specific location on his body given its size but acted more as a large boulder slapping the ambiguous brawler to send his previous standing stance off up and over the monster to skip across the water in a flip that landed just below his neck and worked its way down before attempting to use his limbs to stabilize himself to a halted standing position.
He was now a solid 10 meters behind the golem with Zanko, and Mamoru off towards the complete other side. Clenching his hand against the wound that traced its existence along his black shirt as well Leo would appear momentarily attentive on his immediate surrounding before gradually keeping his distance once more to circle around towards another one of the large boulders littered about. He wouldn't hide behind it so much as lean on it facing the general direction of the current events. Refusing to use Ki to stave off the mild bleeding at best which soaked his cloths more then any dramatic pooling affect around his current position. The scent of blood however would invigorate him a moment with a devilishly satisfied pained smile. He'd take the time to catch his breathe with what appeared to be both of Mamoru's creature's ravaging at it. He'd noticed the arm projectile launch earlier though at his current distance he had enough room to maneuver quickly behind one of the other not too distance boulders littered about.
