You can still win this. Through the haze of directionless hatred, your hardcore gamer instincts shine through, and you come up with a solution. It requires teamwork, yes, and that concept has only let you down before, but this time it will be different!
– "Snail Guy, toss more glue upwards!" The HEROES can very well hear you, but it shouldn't matter. They have nowhere to dodge. The slime glob flies upwards, a little to the side, but you can work with it. You put the weight of your shell behind an extremely obvious swing, the kind that can be blocked with ease if one has enough strength.
– "Rayle, push the pistol asshole towards me!" Surprising both of you, she actually obeys, eyes wide with seething and fear. Her limbs are still tied, but she bucks forward with her back legs, nearly toppling Gloctopus into the slime. Your strike SLAMS into Knight's guard, pushing him back, and for a moment it seems like your master plan is going to work. Until Glock's tentacles catch the glob of slime out of the air and toss it away! The ghost tentacles don't even stick to it — what absolute bullshit!
The HEROES bump their backs together, decisively unglued. Rayle loses her balance and falls down on her stomach.
– "Okay, come on, surely there's some self-preservation in there." Glocktopus taps pony's head with a snub-nose revolver he pulled out of some hidden holster. "Give up now, and you won't die."
– "Taking MONSTERS alive is such bullshit.." Knight forces out, still blade-locked with you.
– "Don't be like that. Maybe they'll help them somehow!" Glocktopus calmly retorts with a bit of amusement. Perhaps this isn't the first time this argument has happened.
– "Feds helping anyone? I'd rather believe they need all these monsters for a zoo. Also, we shouldn't be doing glowies' bidding anyway. Heroes serve JUSTICE."
You ignore most of the conversation. The fact that it's happening at all while you still aren't completely beaten enrages you to no end. You lean harder into the blade lock. Perhaps the full mass of your SHELL could..
With a twirl of his sword, Knight sends you tumbling off the cable, your tentacles too weak to completely arrest your sudden momentum.
