Punches intestine snake

Powers came to bear: red smoke, a snake that looked like it was made of intestine and barbed wire, sprouting spikes that crackled with electricity- Introspection Chris disengaged and leaped back as the Fallen came rushing at him.

Him was really a quirky word to use when he had this form.

There were two with enhanced speed, and the barbed intestine snake had reach.  He wasn’t that fast in this form, even if he was faster than a normal human might have been.  The speedy Fallen tackled him.  The snake caught his leg.

A spray of cold water from Capricorn woke up everyone I hadn’t been able to reach.  The Fallen retreated, the intestine-snake snatching up two and yanking them back.

I heard the shooting stop, the sound of the small pistol ringing in my ears. I dropped my defenses for just a moment, so I could have the Wretch closer to me when I connected my fist to the Snake's 'head'. It slammed into a building, shattering the stones and mortar that lined the lower half of the ground floor.

*****

Ahead of me, the Fallen woman disconnected the snake-thing from her left hand, and passed the gun to it. The motes above and behind her turned to water, spraying down on her and at the giant breaker.

The motes snapped into a solid form, making a creaking, cracking noise as they became a growth of stone that encased part of the snake-woman's head and shoulder and part of three of breaker's arms.

The weight of the stone pushed her down and snared the breaker. A moment before she was crushed beneath the stone, it became water again. She was down on three limbs in an awkward position as it all cascaded and sprayed down around her, stirring the packed dirt road into thick mud spray.

I leaped forward toward the spray, flight kicking in at half-strength to give me downward velocity. I came down with one foot on her gun-hand, crushing it beneath my heel. I stepped down by her face, and moved my foot off of her hand. I pushed at her shoulder with my foot, flipping her over, then bent down for the gun.
