Alone, Ippo wasn't sure if he could get the big guy moving in a new direction. He was thankful for the second helping hand that pulled Snow away from the deranged monster convulsing on the ground. However, the triumph soon meant nothing as they escaped the frying pan and hopped right into the licking fire.

The only thing Ippo could do was tighten his grip around Snow so the boxer didn't simply bolt like a wild animal caught in a frenzy. It was a really tempting idea, but as he watched the rest of the patients caught in the chaos, no amount of running in any direction wore on the monsters that herded them like sheep. He almost wondered if they should get back into the bus and take their chances with the nurses instead, but it was too late.

One of the flying monstrosities had set its sight on their little pack and for how high Snow was, he seemed to be the only one of them with any bright ideas. When he dived for the ground, it forcibly pulled Ippo down with him and gave him an aerial view from the hard earth below. Claws and giant maws descended upon them and he unabashedly screamed, rolling in closer to the giant American for cover.
