The blood pooled in the Mirror of Glass and Blood explodes out of the back of its tail, scattering it in dry, meaty chunks. In response, it flares its mirrored hood and spews broken mirror shards at Takakage.

That was... grisly. Since MiRa lacked things like a normal circulatory system or various other systems for that matter, viscera actually kind of grossed her out. There was, of course, no time to be grossed out; one person was already down and the rest were in obvious danger. "You bet I've got an alternative," she said back, and called out Talos once more. As the robot charged forward to punch the creature with one mighty fist, MiRa charged forward herself to slash at it with her blades.

Ugh wow what... oh, he's still alive.

He does snap back into attention rather quickly, if that's any consolation. Someone he doesn't know, the boy from before, and Takakage... oh, they're already here? Well.

"Oh...? All of you..." Jonathan trails off in the end, rushing to reach for his own sword. Nope, not going to let it hurt the one who came to bail his ass. Nope.

"Stay back!" Zandyne the glass out of the fucking way.

Between the continuing assaults, topped off with a damn Zandyne of all things, the Mirror of Glass and Blood collapses, the fleshy portions of its body quickly rotting into a thick purple sludge that corrodes the mirror shards, producing a stench very much like, well, a large pile of rotting corpses.

The pool of liquid putrescence starts to flow along the floor, but before it can reach any of the combatants it starts to break up, becoming a tide of hissing cobras that frantically stream around them to plunge headfirst into the broken mirrors.
