Tensing as the mer-creature lunged at him, Cloud set his weight where he was standing before making an attempt to wheel backwards. She managed to get both of his ankles before he could step back, and he regarded her toothy grin with a raised eyebrow. So much for answers…

His weight jerked with her pulls, and he felt himself slipping forward into the water. She was pretty strong, but he managed to stay on his feet as he shook his head a little. Where was his First Tsurugi when he needed it?

He raised the flashlight and readied it for a strike. He would probably break it if he smashed it into her head as he planned, and there was one resource he was down. That would not help in possible future hallways, which forced his hand in dropping it down into his pocket and using more brute force methods.

He tilted his head away as he reached down and grabbed the mer-creature’s upper arms. He squeezed known human pressure points in an attempt to force her to release him as he began to simply lift her from the water.
