The fight was going okay. Most of them had some idea of what to do. And thankfully one was smart enough to think things through. He started making a wall between them and the creatures. Aria wished she knew what they were, and how to better take care of this situation, or why they were swarming like this. They were strange. It bothered Aria a great deal, but the fight was too much work, thought was lost on it all as she fought for her life, and theirs. It was empty fighting with others for the first time in a very long time. Giovanni and Jensen hadn't really fought, it was quick and done and it was hardly a battle. There was only one against four then. This time the odds were much different.
But the battle was wondrous. Aria enjoyed each kill, wanted to stay until it was done and over. Everyone was getting tired, Aria included, but she didn't want to go, didn't want to stop the fight. The Oni had been a good fight, it would have been a worthy way to die. It was stronger and faster and it was her choice. These things left more questions than answers. They were new, and THAT scared Aria out of the pain of each death. The creatures were new.
One of the men yelled Let's go, Aria reluctantly left with them. It was not what she wanted, but there were other things to think about other than the death and the pain and the fear of the one man she could feel. Aria's hunger rose inside, she wanted more. Wanted to feed on the pain, make the fear greater, but she stood her ground, kept her emotions in check. The fight inside rages as fiercely as the one they were all fighting at that moment.
A few creatures slipped over the barrier that was fallen rocks created by one of them. But the power fled and then there were two. Aria could feel the panic in the two. Aria let the hunger fuel her. Fuel the desire to cause pain and suffering. She let it consume her as the beasts came at them. Aria could do nothing about the passage way, she left it to the others, they would either live up to their end of the bargain or they would all die in the tunnels this day. Aria couldn't let the creatures top side. God only knew what they would do there. Aria prayed they didn't find another way up.
Aria fought with all her remaining strength, the fight fueled by the darkness inside.
