Rune side stepped around the swinging skinned body. Thanking God that the boots kept her footing on the slick floor pooled around him. She barely registered stepping on something soft and squishy, but knew better than to look down to see what it was, fearing it to be the corner of a hand-shaped mound of skin or something awful like that. Even for a rougarou, that was pretty sick. And she definitely didn't want to end up in the same shape.
She flicked the gun off single fire and sprayed the Bannik with everything she had. Unlike the Jann, the bullets hit solid substance, but they seemed to splash into the magma sending sparks ricocheting off its body, then stick like a dart for a second or two before melting all together. Rune quickly realized the futility of shooting, ceased fire, slung the gun around her shoulder and drew a knife. It advanced on her, and she let it back her around the dead rougarou, down the aisle and around the opposite end of the lockers.
The glasses were beeping at her, but she ignored them, too focused on trying to think of a way to kill the thing! With it leading her backward, she finally held her ground and stepped into its reach, slashing as she went. It seemed to groan a furnace of heat from a hole where its mouth should have been, and a surge of heat burned Rune's skin. The knife did no good. The blade stuck in its 'body' too firmly for Rune to rip it back out again. There was hissing and bubbling, and a sound of vibration rose once more. She began to retreat once more.
Bullets did nothing. Knives melted against it. Rune was so angry with it she'd rip its head off if she thought she'd manage to get a good enough grip on its neck. And assuming it stayed in solid form long enough to do so. She jerked her eyes around the room and saw the old time freezer in the corner.
About then, she saw Hood run in. He had a good view of the Bannik descending quickly on her.
"Cuddles!" She called to him forcefully, continually backing up step by step, using the SMG only now and then to force the Bannik to keep from grabbing her hair. She had a feeling that if it got ahold, it'd scalp her faster than Tanto on a cowboy. "The Freon. In that! It's the only shot we have!" This thing was like a glowing pit of coals, and while Rune didn't have any marshmellows handy, she had a feeling coolant might do something to it. "Hurry!" She started spraying it with bullets once more. They stuck in its chest like studs on a jacket, but at least they seemed to keep it from advancing.
