[The fury of the battle, and swarming beasts, including their Captain's Omen making an appearance for the first time is sufficient enough distraction that Willow barely registered the rifle shot when it goes off.
It's the movement of someone dropping to the ground that catches her attention, and she turns, assuming it's one of their number who might need assistance. Instead, she sees Chara with the knife raised, ready to strike.]
OSCAR!
[She thrusts a hand towards the beast she's been fighting, an oversized crab that skitters back and forth, clacking its claws menacingly as it prepares to strike, and a blast of energy catches it right in the face as she abandons the fight to try to defend the boy on the ground.
She is just barely a fraction of a moment too late.
The fireball forms in her hand as Chara drives the knife into Oscar's chest, and she screams with rage as she releases it.
She might be too late to save Oscar, but she's not too late to end the little monster that killed him.]
