Pretty... Lights...

Go... see.. pretty... lights...

Hungry...

----------

The Oozaru roared into the sky, a feral, booming omen of coming annihilation as it lumbered towards the city. Each step shook the ground, leaving a massive footprint in the earth.

Within Mondstadt, crowds of people began to gather in the square of the city, being prepared to be evacuated should the initial defense fail to veer the great beast off course. Jean immediately fell into her role as Acting Grand Master, shouting orders at her knights. Some people spoke out, yelling for someone to deal with the apparent monster. Lisa stood by her side, consoling a sobbing Paimon as she feared for the traveler. Others swore that the Cathedral would be a better gathering point and that Barbatos' grace would keep them safe. Others, caught in the confusion, could only keep their heads down and hold onto those important to them as the crowd grew denser.

Pretty... Lights...!

Pretty... Lights...!

Pretty... Ow!!!

----------

The Oozaru roared in agitation and lifted its foot as a flaming arrow stuck into it, clutching it as it bounced in place, rotating as it cried out in pain. 

"Over here, you big lug!!!" Amber shouted, waving to it.

----------

...

BULLY!!!

----------

"GROOOOOOAAAR!!!" The Oozaru roared furiously, and Amber's eyes widened in shock as the massive creature leaped into the air, crossing what she assumed was a massive distance right toward her in one bound.

"H-How...! How is it so fast...!?" Amber was frozen, the sky above her being blotted out by a massive fist.

"AMBER!!!"

Aether flew in from her side, propelling himself with his Anemo as he tackled Amber to the side, barely avoiding being flattened as the Oozaru's fist slammed into the ground where they were.

The great ape growled confusedly, not feeling the mean little ant being smashed under its fist. It suddenly spotted a silhouette in the dust, smiling as it slapped a great hand down onto it, scraping it up with a half-ton of dirt.

"Hrrrrr....?" The Oozaru looked at the bug it squashed, its red eyes meeting Baron Bunny's eviscerated body as it still tried to dance, mangled beyond belief.

BWOOM!!!

"WROOOAAAA!!!" The Oozaru cried out as Baron Bunny claimed his revenge, blowing up in its hand and lighting its fist on fire. The Oozaru screamed and shook its arm, extinguishing the small flame with a lash of its massive arm.

The Oozaru growled out, staggering as more arrows hit it, more annoyed and pestered than actually damaged.

Diluc and Kaeya had taken bows of their own, pestering the monster with Cryo and Pyro infused arrows.
