[ Gamora barely has the chance to be impressed by Taako's magic, because she finds herself on the defensive as the creature she'd just dodged comes at her head all over again. She snarls as she evades another bite, but rather than let the thing continue to push her back, she stands her ground, readying herself for—
—the next bite.
A creature blinks into existence directly behind her, and with a near-immediate spin on her heel, Gamora meets its open jaws with Godslayer's blade. She stabs up through the beast's palate, then throws it to the ground to kick it off again. Unfortunately, she turns just in time to see yet another beast sink its teeth into Taako's leg.
Shit.
She darts forward, swinging her blade down, and, of course, the creature blinks back out of existence just in time to avoid the strike.
Distracted enough for now, she turns her attention to Taako. ]
Are you all right?
[ The words are sharp, lacking in sympathy if only because they still have to worry about what's left of the fight – and they can't afford to let their guard down more than they already have. ]
