Splash and Burn

While the Huoshu was busy amputating his own arm, he failed to notice that Tatterhood and Bellerophon were charging towards him.

Prior to their charge, the goat and girl had taken the opportunity to surround themselves in liquid from the surrounding broth to form an outer shell in the shape of a giant armored knight and horse. Instead of a lance however, the liquid knight was wielding a giant monk's spade.

A confident smile was plain on Tatterhood's face as she and Bellerophon approached closer and closer towards the Huoshu. Once the two got into range for the giant knight's weapon, Tatterhood swung out her monk spade from within the liquid knight.

Mimicking her swing, the giant knight swung it's own giant spade in tandem towards the Huoshu. A rumbling sound like a tidal wave echoed through the air as the giant blade went flying towards the Huoshu.

"INSOLENT!", the Huoshu gurgled from it's mouth stomach as he saw the liquid blade coming towards him.

Wildly circulating the energy in his body, the Huoshu turned his replacement fire arm into a brutal looking spear head-like weapon. With a wild roar, the Huoshu faced the attack and punched his spear arm towards the flat edge of the encroaching spade.

*Fwooosh!*

*Hisssss*

A loud hissing sound occured as fire met water and the Huoshu kept his mind foucsed and his spear-arm steady against the liquid blade. Unusually, the liquid blade did not disperse back into droplets as the spear pierced through it's side, but had begun to fall apart like a solid metal one!

Eventually, the Huoshu had managed to "decapitate" the spade blade with his fire spear arm and he released a roar of triumph...what he failed to notice was that the decapitated spade blade had did not disperse or fall into the soup. He turned to face Tatterhood, ready to skewer and burn her and her goat alive, only to find that she wasn't there. Momentary confusion came over him before he felt some droplets on his whisker coming from above him.

Turning his head upwards, he saw that Tatterhood and Bellerophon were now floating within a sphere of liquid above him. A smug look appeared on Tatterhood's face as she rested her monk spade's across her shoulder with one hand and pointed at the Huoshu with two fingers on her other hand.

"Get ready for part two, min venn", Tatterhood said with a smile and a flick of her open hand.

The suspended liquid blade that was quietly floating behind the Huoshu suddenly began to violently ripple before dispersing into a shower meter long spears of liquid that shot towards the Huoshu's back like crossbow bolts.

The Huoshu was initially confused and annoyed at his prey's impudence, until the first liquid spear pierced through the shoulder of his one good arm. Now aware of the incoming rain of spears, he turned his fire spear arm into a large shield to protect himself. This left his back wide open for Tatterhood and Bellerophon to do their thing!

"Let's do this"!

"Meeeeh!", Bellerophon bleated before moving the tip of his fishtail to be directly behind Tatterhood.

Tatterhood readied her monk's spade before reaching back to grab onto the tip of Bellerophon's fishtail. Bellerophon then began to violently swim in a circle within the sphere, building up momentum for a few moments before whipping his tail forward and launching Tatterhood through the sphere towards the Huoshu. As Tatterhood went with the momentum, she thrusted out her monk spade, causing the surrounding liquid to suddenly spiral in front of both her and her weapon.

As her spade breached the surface of the sphere, the spiraling force behind the spade drew in some of the liquid, forming a drill-like envelope over it. Tatterhood herself soon followed the spade, encased in that same envelope. Once her feet had left the sphere's boundaries, the liquid surrounding her began to swirl even faster, launching her like a bullet towards the Huoshu!

The Huoshu had just finished fending off the last of the water spears before sensing Tatterhood's sudden attack. Rage burning in it's brain, he swung his fire shield towards her in an attempt to block the attack.
