[ Dang - Taurus' axe misses the target by THAT much, biting hard into the ground - hard enough that it takes him a moment to wedge it up again. Loke calls a warning to Lucy again, and the blonde mage looked up from where she had knelt quickly to grab the keys she dropped. ... uh. Oh . LORDIE. The bum rush was not anticipated, and the speed in which it rushed her, along with that horrid shriek - that sound that does NOT belong coming out of a human's throat - ]

[ CRAP. She can only defend against the lunge as it grabbed her arms. Clutching the keys in one hand, her shoulder screaming in pain, she wrestles against the other creature to free her arms again to try and push the Nightcap away. ]

Nngh! GET OFF!!
