The Starman continued to stand in the center of the formation, posing dramatically. It would save its energy for something worthwhile. Let the others tire themselves out on pathetic enemies.

The fact that it was using such a scummy tactic refused to dawn on the Starman. The irony and hypocrisy behind it was that it would immediately call someone else out on such a strategy.
 
All fishmen are dead.

Hahah! Cowardice Self-preservation wins again. Hobo or not, it seems I lucked out and pulled some surprisingly competent teammates.

I really hope there isn't a one-on-one round later. I saw exactly how effective my Molotov was against the armoured fishman and it was not reassuring.

Red symbols twirl up my arm, before settling into a pattern I was familiar with. Command seals, from the Nasuverse, something from Estro'smy memories. I am now technically a Master in the holy grail war. The surrealism of the situation got to me, and I stood there lightly chuckling with a mad grin on my face.

...Well great, something wacky happened with Tentacles and now she's grinning like a maniac. Did someone just give her even more power? I mean, yay team, power is good and all; but I feel like she was unstable enough already.

Sigh. If/when this backfires terribly I reserve the right to be terribly smug in the moments before my demise.
 
As I roll over on to my topside, I turn to Legion. "Anyway, I'm starting to feel peckish, and the fishmen don't taste that good. Do you have anything?"

A small group of fishmen stand underwater at the bottom of the structure. Eventually, something incredibly long and black is swimming through the water. It moves partially on to the structure showing that it looks like a gigantic moray eel with legs. It grabs Rize's upper-body with its mouth, head first, and moves back in to the water hitting the star-man and Legion with its tail.

"Owww..."

I got knocked backwards and downwards due to the impact of the eel - like thing's tail, but fortunately my shields were able to take the brunt of the damage. After taking a moment to recover, I ran to the center of the area, readied my Geth Pulse Rifle, deployed my Geth Turret beside me, and summoned my Combat Drone.

"It was a giant eel thing! It pulled a Charlotte on Rize!"

"Holy Giygas, what the he- BLAGH."

The Starman was knocked back, spinning to the ground from the force of the blow. Now this was an enemy to worry about. If it hadn't been for its shield, the Starman would've been in much more pain.

The Starman used a sudden guts pill!

The Starman tried PSI Freeze α!

It aimed the cryokinetic blast at the giant eels gills. Hopefully it could block its ability to breath, killing it by suffocation.
 
I launch a series of leaf blades at the beast. Grass is effective on Water after all.

As I was admiring my new command seals a large dark shape emerged from the water, and ate me. Partially. Well,

"Oh, fuck me"

The teeth were biting into my arms and torso, but had stopped short of instantly killing me. Oh thank Darwin that fish have stubby teeth. My Kagune was trapped outside the rubbery lips of the giant fish, which was now underwater if I could trust the sensations from my legs. Well, I had one set of clothes. Ruined. A purse, containing my book, submerged. I wasn't pissed. I wasn't angry. I had transcended fury, ripped my way past livid, and was always above murderous. I was at that pinnacle of pure fury where I was calm. This fish, this thing had tried to eat me. Me.

"I am Rize Kamishiro. I am Estro. I have killed more people than you have ever seen, terrified the 20th ward of Tokyo into submission and killed two S-class ghouls. You are a fish. Humans have been hunting you for longer than ghouls have hunted humans. You are a pathetic beast, who has made one very large mistake." My tentacles stab the beast in sync, ripping into the flesh around its head and jaw.

"You ate me." My tentacles stab it again.

"So, you idiot of a fish prepare to learn three things." My voice raised in volume to the extent that everyone in the cave could hear me, even as my tentacles stab it more.

"One. I have only ever feared three things, and you are none of them." Stab.

"Two. I am the top of the food chain, NOT YOU" Stab.

"Annnnd three. You are going to die!" Stab.

"But not because of my Kagune." Stab.

"But because of my." Stab.

"British" stab.
"Fucking" stab
"Stiff" stab
"Upper" stab
"Bloody" stab
"LIP!" stab.

"Now, in the name of Queen and Country," My tentacles position themselves round the edges of the fishes lips, even as I moved my hands and legs to braced against the interior and exterior parts of the mouth respectively, "Let Me GO!"

And with a heave, with all the strength I could muster, I pushed.
 
"I am really glad for the assist, Legion"
I kept firing at the grazed leg.
You hit the leg in the knee.
"Holy Giygas, what the he- BLAGH."

The shot was miscalculated and only froze the water.

The attack covers its back in shallow cuts.

The stabs hurt it, and made it more agressive. As you begin pushing out, its second set of jaws move forward and bite down on your head in an attempt to swallow you.

As it's jaws clamp down around my head I grin, a mad, twisted blood thirsty thing.

"Perhaps I phrased that in terms you didn't understand, that were too complex for you. Maybe this will be better."

I tear my arms from their trapped position into the free area between the two jaws.

"FUCK YOU!"

And I explode into activerty. My hands, my legs, even my teeth rip and tear in a frenzy inside the beast, each hitting with force enough to pulverise concrete to a fine dust, inflicting so much damage on my self in the process that my regeneration can only just keep up.

Externally, my tentacles explode into motion. Two of them keep pulling at the jaws, smashing into them with force comparable to trucks and sharpness beaten only by the finest diamonds, my rage having sharpened the liquid muscle.

Another two tentacles furiously tear at the flesh of the beast, digging a large of hole as possible in the side of the beast.

The last two latch onto the rock formation in the middle, and using all of my considerable strenght start dragging the fish back up the rock, closer to breaking the surface all the time.

"I am not afraid of my death, for I have met him, looked him in the eye and said: 'Not today!' For death is the last refuge of the WEAK"
 
I approached the eel's leg slowly and bitten it to suck prana.
While simultaneously activating Winter War.
The landscape changed to a snowy field, a raging blizzard is blowing past us while corpses littered the field.
I jumped away from the eel and erased my presence from everybody's senses.
I took position and fired at the eel while calling the animals from the forest to attack the eel.
