[Whatever you do, do not scream, Saori mentally told herself as the bony fingers tightened around her legs. A wince squeaked out from her but she bit her lip from revealing any more. It was too late to hope no one heard the sound of her own bones on the verge of cracking. A goddess's body maybe incredibly tough but they still have to bow down to physics from time to time. She would bear the pain now and just focus on reaching for Sephiroth's hands.
The deep cut from Sephiroth's earlier sword attack did expose some of the inner bone of the Gashadokuro's fingers to Ira's Fira and Mary's physical attacks. While it maybe a giant skeleton, its willpower was driven by the souls of countless restless soldiers who died in battles from ages past who never received proper rites.
The smoke chain around its neck desperately yanked back some more until finally lets go of Saori, leaving a large purple are on her calves where it gripped her. Its teeth clatter angrily as it's dragged back down the mineshaft until the angry orange glow of its eyes faded into the dark. With that weight no longer on her, the goddess was finally able to grab Sephiroth's hand. Two bruises remained on her legs but it'll heal quickly compared to the possible fractures. Hopefully by the time they get to the Roc's egg, she'd be able to walk. In the meantime, she's just going to be lying on the ground on her back unless someone is willing to lift her up. Thankfully anyone would be able to carry the case with their metal order inside. The wonder of a hammerspace container like that instrument case: Able to fit just about anything in there and it would still be manageable.]
Thank you, everyone. I'm sorry I put you all through that.
