The grenadier fired a smoke grenade at Ghast. Blunt force trama for the win. That and bullets.
The men took cover, though the one with the FN FAL was taken down, forced to drop his gun from the shock. He did not make it to cover and got torn up by all of his ammunition going off.

Ghast just barely dodged as he fled, though the bomb did slow him down. He started to flee in Sapphira's direction.

*The ground near Sapphira is still charged with electricity, so that might not be the brightest idea. Sapphira's still a bit frantic, hoping the soldiers went away.*

The soldiers took aim around the corner and started firing at Sapphira again, intent on killing her.
The ones in the smoke were heading back to their comrades.

Ghast found another room to hide in, catching his breath. This attacking, then running, then attacking again was not something he was built for. But, now there were only about 5 or so left. But, he also couldn;t run away from this. It was either him or them, they could beat him to any and all exits and just gun him down the rest of the way. It wouldn't take much either, he was riddled with bullets.

Off shore there was an aircraft carrier, now able to support the small squad of infantry in the city. The soldiers got their orders and now double timed it right the fuck out of the building.
Their mentality was now "hey let's let the reinforcements handle this." They had no problems popping another smoke grenade and retreating.

Ghast screeched at them in victory as the soldiers left, that terrifying noise echoing through the building, making it sound like he was everywhere at once.
Sapphira almost surely caught Ghast's blood trail again, as it was new again with a few more bullet holes in him from more fighting. It was strong, and the source HAD to be close...and close to death, it seemed.

They dragged the severely injured man out with them, and the weapons of the crushed man.
Waiting for them in the lobby, there was about twenty five US marines. They heard the screech and seemed ready to go in and "kick some ass.
The soldiers gave the marines what information they needed and proceeded out to their humvees. The marines went in, and not having been all that well trained for fighting giant snake monsters, they probably did not fair well.
It took the soldiers 10 minutes to get to the marines, it took them five minutes to explain and it would take the marines 8 minutes to find where, assumingly, Ghast and Sapphira were.

Ghast yanked his tail out of Sapphira's hands, screeching and coming back around the corner, stopping when he finally saw her standing there. "RRRRRrrrrr........What the hell are you doing with my tail?" He finally said after several moments of silence.

The marines were still on their way, they had maybe 14 minutes now. The marines were totting the typical M16s and M4s, the M4s being the best for combat in the building due to being small. None of them had night vision goggles or thermal scopes on their guns.

"You're a mess." Sapphira said as she took a little whiff of his blood. "Leaving this big of a trail of blood'll get the authorities on to you, you know. Besides, you're almost dead...erm...almost, so I though I was going to salvage what I could of you if you died."

"No shit. You think I fucking shot myself? And besides, I doubt your "salvaging" plan would work there, you little slut-bitch, if you ahven;t noticed yet I am a hell of a lot bigger than you. If I was in any better condition, I would probably have it on my mind now to "salvage" you. You're just damn lucky those soldiers had fucking guns." He spat at her, hissing a bit under his breath.

All of the marines seemed to be anywhere from age 20 to age 40, the younger being the majority. None of them had so much as seen one of these beasts at all, hell this was their first combat situation in New York and they were part of a fairly large task force sent to New York to sweep it clean and expand out into the surrounding area.

"You may want to keep your distance then," she said with a slight smirk. "Even if you were able to 'salvage' me, it still wouldn't've been a wise choice. The ground's still loaded with electricity. Not to mention, you need to work on your insults. They're rather impersonal, if I might say so."

"Hmph." He snorted at her. "Fine then. You look like a fucking slapped together abomination of shit. Now if you will excuse me, you smart-ass, I need to do some "salvaging" of my own. I took out some of these fuckers myself, so you had better not touch ANY kill of mine, or I will make sure those soldiers outside hear your fucking screeching for me to stop twisting your limbs off." He turned and started to slither away to where he has smashed that soldier's face in.

The armor and guns were mangled and destroyed on the downed soldiers. Not much worth salvaging to fight back.
The marines were on their way, having just reached the stairs. The smoke was dissipating now too.
