Let Eva enjoy herself while you join Niki.

It's time to help your warrior. You begin running that direction, though it's quite a distance to cover. You think about manifesting your Flare Bolt again, but you feel as if its already drained a lot of your energy. You're going to have to use melee.

It seems like Niki has finally freed her buckler from the crab's mighty grip. However, it makes another attack against her, and lands a pincer attack around her breastplate. It tears the armour off with one mighty yank, and it flies over the head of the other crab, landing with a thud in the grass. Her ample bust, which is now only covered by a thin, tight fabric, bounces free from its restraints. It seems the **** was powerful as well, as she yells out in pain, wrapping her arms around her chest as she falls to her back. The mace rolls onto the grass at her right.

The first thing you do is drive your blade down into the cracked shell of the other one, finishing it off. Next, you pivot in place and ready yourself to combat the final crab, which is encroaching on the prone and disarmoured Niki.

Why does she seem a bit less tough now? Does she think its going to tickle her to ****?

"Over here, you crappy crustacean!" you shout as you swing your blade, though much of the **** deflects off its hardy shell.

It turns around, and upon closer inspection, this one looks tougher than the rest. It swings a mighty pincer in your direction, and you raise your sword to attempt to parry the blow. Though it does work, you're knocked backwards from the powerful ****, and you go tumbling to the ground. It makes more sense now why Niki was dropped so easily.

"Perfect distraction, chief!" Niki now shouts. She slams her mace down onto its back, crushing in its shell. It flails in pain.

You then hear, "Magic Bolt!" from Eva as another projectile of energy smashes into its side.

With another opening made, Niki takes full advantage. She grabs the mace with both of her hands, and drives it straight down against the already cracked shell. The **** completely destroys the back of the crab, and it falls limp onto the ground between the two of you.
