"WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!"
Pushed back as the energy spiked further, The Beldam and her soldiers tried to keep themselves still from such powerful gusts of wind. The land almost broke apart as Harvard's body shifted. His arms growing down to touch and wind around the floor, his legs splitting apart and stilting over the body, his mouth and eyes scattering, as more grew out, two now resting around his cheeks, while three eyes were seen on his forehead, neck, and where his mouth originally was. The muscles were trying to rip themselves out from the child's body, swarming and circling around his hands to let it act as claws. A head would appear out from his lower half, a horse's growing out, two sets of razor sharp teeth, almost acting like a dog rather than a proper horse. As soon as the Beldam tried to look away, the Devil of the Sea was inches away from her face, a balled up fist ready for a clock against her jaw.
WHAM!!!!
A direct spike, the Beldam bouncing across the area like a living ball, as the Nuckelavee charged ahead, grabbing and tearing apart any toy that tried to get close to it. The Witch would try to retort with a sweep, her tail swatting at the legs, but the Devil merely leaped up and bounced off the walls to deliver a stomp at her throat. It'd drag her across the ground as much as possible, before using its arms to pick itself up and buck kick her into a wall, where it proceeded to lay down as much punishment as it could. Hooks, uppercuts, straights. Every time she tried to open her mouth, the Nuckelavee would grab ahold and try to tear one of her jaws off. Every time she'd try to stab into the beast's body, whether it'd be her claws to his eyes or her mouth to his arm, the Nuckelavee would sink her deeper into such meat, letting in body blows to pummel and abuse her stomach as much as it could, before letting her go and having her try to escape the corner. Every time she tried to signal a toy to get close, the Nuckelavee merely spun itself around, keeping the horse to pin and retailiate, while the humanoid swatted away anyone that got too close.
Such damage would prompt the toys to go back to the Cauldron, taking in more of its contents, while those that remained try to push through. The Wind Up toys would keep their cogs spinning, letting the toys slip underneath the Nuckelavee once they got close, scaling up to the Beldam and try to pilot her in the same manner as how Criollo did before. Alas, the Horse was quick on spotting and jetting out a red tongue, a stinger to pierce and pull out any toys that would influence the fight under her favor. A few dolls would try to make their way to any available heads, letting them shift at an angle and aim for the Nuckelavee to suffer Banshee's screams. While such an attack did work, allowing the Beldam to push it off and deliver her own barrage of blows, tearing any and every piece of flesh available, it would only last for so long until the Devil of the Sea understood how the attack worked, piercing its own eardrums to null out the sound, before slapping Beldam across her face, grabbing her by the upper jaws, and dragging her across the restaurant, before burying her into one of the walls.
The Cauldron would be quick on a new set of upgrades, the plushies and teddy bears gaining the same boon the Robots acquired: a living heart to produce energy. The Nuckelavee would try to extend its fingers out, slashing them off and firing it as projectiles to hit the small beasts, but one Teddy Bear was quick and smart enough to weaponize the Cauldron against it. By channeling such power into it, the Cauldon began to bubble and act as a cannon, shifting down and blasting the finger, letting it dissolve away into mere bone matter. The beast roared at the army, charging ahead once it saw the finger be reduced. The remaining teddies were quick on channeling the magic in themselves, as the Cauldron kept firing, and the robots weaponizing the room to try and catch it as much as possible, potholes born on the ground to make it sink. As it did such, however, it was quick on leaping overhead, stabbing its arms into the roof, swinging over in order to try and attack the toy in mid-air. The Beldam would step in and slash at the beast, watching as the Horse would kick the Cauldron over, before leaping ahead and biting down any toy it sees, ripping it to shreds if need be.
As the Witch tried to create more toys, she was quick to notice it was only the Horse. When she looked up, she'd see its Rider still up in the air, as it broke the roof down and used it as a club to bash the Beldam over her head with, sinking her into one of the potholes, as the toys began to leap into the half Devil. The Nuckelavee merely pushed itself up in order to evade the invasion, watching as the Toys tried to cast their magic, only to be met with attacking the Beldam directly, stacking such damage with each spell they foolishly casted. Once the Rider had enough distance, the Horse was able to come back, reattaching each other, letting them wait as the Beldam clawed their way out from the makeshift tomb. Her eyes came back upon such a harsh battering, her glass reflecting off the Red Monster's body. Something allowed the beast to prepare ahead of time and split itself in two, evading her strike altogether.
Harvard was still functioning, even after turning into a mindless beast. The questioned remained, however, how much was his brain working after being overtaken by such a legend before her.
