Tentacle

After Elliot had made sure that Camelia was securely seated on top of Brock, he went back to acquire the Brood Mother's beast core before clambering up onto Winter's back.

"Let's go!" Elliot told his beasts.

However, the forest was not done with them yet.

Brock and Winter suddenly tensed and sniffed the air.

Elliot immediately sent out his hawk to scout the area around them and re-summoned his other beasts.

As for himself, he leapt off Winter's back and turned into his Primal Feline Warrior beast form.

With his far more powerful sense of smell and his 6th sense which was tingling in a very familiar fashion, Elliot immediately detected the incoming alien beast. It was an alien beast all of them recognized.

"The gross two-headed lizard's mother." Brock said grimly.

And strangely, it no longer felt like complete suicide for Elliot if he decided on staying and fighting it.
