Seirei blasted through a few more beetles in his path before giving up on normal moving and turned into mist. He was beside Ramiel in a moment and reformed, ready to do as instructed. "So, wha' do I do?" he said, seeing the weak spot as the creature struggled with it's current opponents. "I see the seam you exposed in it's armor," he added, listening for what he needed to do.

"I've seen what you can do" Ramiel said, speaking rather bluntly "What I want you to do is turn into mist and go in through the crease. Once inside reform and you should be able to push it open. I think I can widen the crease a little for about 10 seconds, but thats all I can manage in this....situation"Ramiel finished, having obviously changed what he was originally going to say as his last word. "Now, do you think you can do it?" He questioned, right eyebrow raised slightly.

Seirei looked at the crease and at the thickness of the armor. "Assuming that it opens it should be fine. If nothing else I'll cut it open," he said, looking at the size of the crease and wondering if he could make it all the way in with only 10 seconds and a slightly larger gap. "If I can't get enough inside I'll just have to partially reform," he added, refusing to back down to a request when he was the only one with a chance of getting inside without using brute force or destructive force. Heh, he could probably do this himself if he didn't have to worry about the others Seirei though after hearing Ramiel's tone. I better make it all the way inside though... being only partially reformed for long starts to screw things up he added to his thoughts as he turned into mist and got ready to enter the beast.

Ramiel just nodded and grunted slightly before taking off without another word. Sword left behind he charged straight at the insect queen. His gaze burned like fire as he leaped forward and onto the beasts chest. He growled deeply as he began to widen the gap, his hands pulling the chest piece open. How he'd know exactly where to gab was anyones guess.
As he hung off the queen the acidic goo landed on his left arm and right leg. However he didn't even seem to flinch as his skin sizzled and dissolved, revealing something sharp and some what reflective to what little light was within the forest. It almost looked like...scales?
"NOW!" Ramiel yelled loudly to Seirei

The cloud of mist hovering around the queens chest looked like it was being vacuumed into the queen as Ramiel yelled. He was using a trick that he figured would help him to get the chest piece out and reformed as he was entering. He had extremely good leverage and his as his legs reformed, already locked in place, the chest started to rip open and crack. When his leg was fully reformed and extended Seirei could tell that he wasn't going to get it opened anymore like this. He was stuck. "Damn, it's come to that has it," he almost growled, the insides of the queen dripping around him and sizzling his skin. Seirei's body turned transparent and his purple aura grew brighter and darker, the opening in the chest shooting out a dark purple light. "NOW!" He yelled, putting all his energy into a surge of strength into his muscles that was shattering the layers of armor as he pushed. It would be enough if Ramiel was tearing it off as he pushed it out.

Ramiel grunted slightly, his muscled seemed to actually strain a bit. His eyes slitted again like before, the tips of his hair seemed to tint another colour, though it wasn't dark enough to distinguish. Giving a small roar, with Seirei's help he managed to rip the shell open before ripping it straight off.
From the3re he leaped off, figuring he'd lead the kill up for the others. Noticing the bristled scales on his arm he swore in a language only Zen would understand completely. Afterwards he darted into the tree's, hiding himself from view while he blew blue flame onto patches of his arm.

Once the shell was ripped Seirei kicked it off and flipped himself out of the acidic beast. His energy was burning out fast now since he was fully phantom and he needed enough to change back before it was too late. s**t, s**t, s**t. Not the time to die, not happening he thought as he sprinted away from the creature, leaving a trail of misty aura behind him. His body was not going to be happy after having his body put up to 300% while in phantom state. He went back to where he remembered Liah had been before, knowing it was better to be useless with someone to help nearby. His legs gave out and turned into mist when he was almost to her and he used everything he had left to return to normal. He was back in opaque, solid flesh and his aura was all but gone as well as his energy. He looked up briefly before dropping his head to the ground. Without an aura his pale skin was much more pale looking and now that his spirit was drained he was all but a corpse.

((eep! Catch up time!))
Sintariun let out a squawk as the tongue lashed out at her and took her leg the saliva on the tongue just like the breath, acidic. Screeching in pain, the elf tried to get away then saw the winged creature and Asteria come to her aid. No, get away, I don't want you to get because of me!
Feeling the release, the transformed elf fell as the acid climbed up her body. In mid-air the hawk transformed back to her elven form and Sintariun cried out as she hit the ground harshly. Wincing as the acid ate a her skin but couldn't move much due to the strain she'd used to try and get the beetle's attention.
Finally mustering enough strength, the elf got over to where Liah, Seirei, and the others were. Seeing Seirei's state, Sintariun couldn't help but gasp at his complexion. Knowing she didn't have much but she had to help him. Getting to her knees, the elf placed her hands over his body and whispered beneath her breath a prayer to the elements to help him.
Feeling her energy quickly drained, the elf hoped it was enough. Feeling faint, Sintariun fell over falling into a sleep to recover her energy and allow her elven magic to heal her body as she slept as well.

Zen watched Ramiel's plan unfold. All in all, it was a great plan. And it worked perfectly too. Zen looked back and could tell that several of the others were exhausted. Sintariun, Seirei, and Gia just to name a few. He was exhausted as well, but the queen's weak spot was open. The words that Ramiel had said distracted him for a moment though. "How did he know how to say that?" he asked himself. But he saw something glint faintly on Ramiel's shoulder. Wierd. But there's no time to think about that now he thought to himself. Then, he rushed at the queen with his sword, ready to stab the weak spot.

"It's time." Her eyes had returned some luster as she would falter a little in her steps towards Liah and towards Seirei. Her sword was weakly being placed back into the scabbard on her back. The silver wings on her back was being pulled back in so that she could use the magic. She would attempt to activate the mass healing spell again, at least the second burst. Gia knew it'd only make her sleep for at least a couple of hours if she did it, but least people that were hurt far worse than she would restore quicker if she did it. Gia knelt near those that had already fallen into a sleep as she seemed to focus while seeming to pray again to the element of wind. "Please wind, allow my spell to work again. Let it focus and burst a second time..." Her wish was granted as a misty aura would expand to become a healing wind that would only touch those severely injured or weakened while she would go into a sleep that would last for several hours. "I'll need...to sleep. When they wake...they should be okay...", Gia smiled at Liah as she said this knowing something about the mist that would pass over Seirei and Sintarium before touching both to heal them, then going over to others that had been severely injured. Gia's eyes then would close as she leaned back on a tree to sleep.

Liah watched all the action with amazement. As Sintariun, Gia and Seirei all gathered around her, she knew her job was to keep them safe and do what she could to help. Damon now fell back and was finishing off the left over smaller beetles while keeping close to the rest in case they needed him. 'Thank you Damon.' She said softly. Asteria, who had been burned by the acid saliva, was healed by Gia's spell. She chirped and flew over, landing on Liah's shoulder. "We'll keep you safe while you rest." She whispered to Gia who was now leaning on a tree, fast asleep.

Alwyn joined those tyhat were hurt. She was to exausted to help with the beetle queen but at least she could help those that had helped her. She put her hand into her bag to see if she had any of the herbs she had with her before she had started the journey. She had a few but nothing that would help. "At least we can all help in some way." She turned and put herself in a fighters stance using her elven eyes to watch the battle a little bit more closely and her ears to find any incoming enemies.

((Leave me in the blind eh? Meh... Time to figure out a way to place Jason in this giant blank spot.))
Jason was circled with three beetles, all snapping their pincers at him. He hadn't even realized that he had strayed from his group trying to loose these creatures. Jason had an arrow loaded into his bow but this was a rather special arrow that he had made when he visited a Pyrotechnic days before. Upon the middle of the arrow, is a stick full of black powder (which coincidentally is still quite dangerous by all means). Jason knew that within the stick was two small pieces of flint placed overlapping each other so that once the arrow hit the shell, the stick would move forwards ever so slightly and the two pieces of flint will spark, causing a massive explosion that could even hurt Jason when it is up close like this.
Jason launched the arrow, aware of the danger he is putting himself into, at the beetle in front of him which in turn detonated as the arrow collided with the front of the beetle. The force of the explosion sent the hit beetle sprawling upon it's hind legs, trying to keep it from falling backwards onto its back. Jason, at this time, had loaded three normal arrows into his bow and quickly launched them all at the beetle's underbelly, striking their mark perfectly. Jason then rolled forwards as a beetle from behind had rushed in to catch him in its pincers. Jason loaded another exploding arrow within the bow but had not seen the other beetle spit a glob of acid at him. The putrid orb of acidic saliva hit the ground in front of him but sprayed all over him through a splash.
Jason gritted his teeth in pain as he lifted his bow, happy that it had not been touched by the acid and then launched it towards the other beetle. As it hit the beetle while it was running towards Jason, the beetle flipped in the air backwards but still going forwards. Jason was almost crushed under the beetle again if it wasn't for quick reflexes and his eyes revealing what was coming from the smoke that had been created. Jason landed backwards upon the ground, his back hitting a root that protruded out from the ground. Jason groaned in pain as he lifted his right hand to draw out another arrow. Jason pushed himself up with his left hand as he spun the arrow between his fingers of his right hand and jumped towards the fallen beetle, still on its back.
Jason stabbed the arrow into the creatures throat, listening as it started to gargle in pain from having it's blood start to leak into its lungs. Jason withdrew the arrow but found that it had started to be eaten from the acid. And he dared not waste another of his special arrows as he knew there were only 3 left until he could get back to the town. But why should he care? If he dies, he dies. They probably didn't even need him on this journey anyways. Suddenly, Jason's right hand started to clench even harder, breaking the already disolving arrow he held. The beetle cried out at Jason and then rushed forwards, pincers open wide to kill him. Jason slowly lifted his right hand and drew out a slender arrow from his new arsenal. Its magic flowing out of it, having absorbed much magic from the pendant that Gia had given him. "Mayja so cekrd yht pinh fedreh dra adanhym bedc uv HELL! Tiro Cero!"
Upon releasing the arrow, the magic was manipulated into a sharper edge as the arrow flew straight towards the charging beetle's head. It pierced and cracked the shell of the beast but not all the way through, causing the beetle to stop its charge. Jason quickly rushed in, taking advantage of this moment and then pulled out one of his normal arrows. As he did, Jason jumped, gripping his fingers into the crack that had formed as he flipped over the beetle. In doing so, the crack opened just a tad larger to make it easier for him to stab his arrow into its skull, killing it on that moment. Jason landed and then stood behind the dead beetle with his bow only a few steps away. He then looked at his hand and realized he spoke in a tongue he hadn't used since that day... His family's language. But the name of the technique was something out of the blue. Jason sighed as he retrieved his bow and looked around. "Great... That figures... Now..." Jason heard a cry in the distance and then ran in that direction, wondering what it could be.
