With their powers unleashed the two go at each other. The men inside Bege' body begin firing on the advancing mass of barbs but try as they might they can't hit her. Even worse sometimes Marcella manages to catch their ammunition out of the air and hurls them right back at Bege.
"Stop firing at her! She has a weird ability. Aim in front of her!"
"Yes Father!"
Relying on her observation Marcella dodges around the bombs and makes her way to the moving castle then up its side. She takes one of her blades and whacks it, barely making a dent in the wall. With all her might she manages to pry loose a single brick but it doesn't deal any significant damage. Then the moving castle retaliates. Its big hands are far too slow and clumsy to catch her but their bulk makes them dangerous. One slip-up and she'll get hurt. Between dodging cannon fire and trying to chip away at the golem she fails to notice an arm and gets hit. Marcella tries to hit it back but it's simply much more powerful than her. Best she can do is stick to it as it comes which dampens the impact somewhat. Still clinging to it she slams her palm into the structure before shouting.
"BAIT GARDEN!"
Hooks sprout from the stone and each other, spreading outwards like the vines of a rose until they reach the ground. There they spread out and dig deep into the ground. Taking root they bind the arm of the giant in place. Try as he might Bege can't move the restrained appendage, allowing Hook to whack away with impunity. But it's all for naught.
"WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!"
Her attacks simply don't do enough damage to the castle walls to make a difference. She needs to start looking for alternate avenues of attack and she does find one when the windows of the castle slam open so that the men inside can start firing at her with their guns.
"Gotcha!"
Creating a pillar of hooks under her feet to use as a springboard she jumps inside where she slides her hand along the arm of the mobster, ripping off the skin and repainting the walls with his blood. Delighted at this opportunity Marcella goes to town turning every hallway she runs across into a blender. The men caught by it are not dead but they may wish otherwise. However her assault does not go flawlessly. Realizing that firearms are very ineffective the Firetank Pirates resorted to using melee weapons, preferably ones with a longer range or ones that are heavy. Spears, lances, hammers and their ilk. By the time she's done with them Marcella sustained considerable damage but the last officers of Bege go down after a lengthy fight. However she still has not found a way to deal with the head asshole himself. His castle body is far too tough of a nut for her to crack. She tried destroying things inside but they had about the same effect as attacks made outside. She needs something better.
"Come on where the fuck are you?!"
