Page 11, 5 Panels- Kagu-Tsuchi's Mountaintop Dwelling Panel 1: Same setting/layout as the last panel of the previous page. Our titular heroine pushes herself up into somewhat of a seated position. She presses the middle part of her abdomen with her right hand, letting out a mild groan. The other one still holding on to Minaj which lies on the floor next to her. GHEDE [translated from Haitian Creole, groaned chuckle]: Well...That was an unpleasant slice of Hydra vomit! Panel 2: Same setting as the previous panel, separated only by a handful of seconds. The layout widens to take in the rest of Ghede's body as she hovers once more, holding her mighty blade. Her left hand, along with the rest of her arm, drifts down to her side. In the background, you can see the same kind of window over her right shoulder that we saw back in Page 9. The dark patches growing ever more present in the sky. GHEDE [Cont., to Kagu-Tsuchi, translated from Japanese; intimidating]: What the hells should I expect from an ambivalent God with his head crammed up his--? Panel 3: Cut to a close-up action shot from the hole showing the concrete Ozabot powering through it with another mighty "GRAAHH!". The remaining chunks of hardwood spray out in every direction. Panel 4-5: A two-part set of panels back on the Haitian guerrier in a setting and layout similar to the one in Panel 2. In Panel 4, she rares back her Molltach blade over her shoulder in her standard attack position. The shadow of the monstrous behemoth quickly coming into view. And in Panel 5, as its concrete back comes into view, she leaps up and starts to make a slashing motion at the Ozabot's midsection. GHEDE [chuckling, to Ozabot; Panel 4]: Ah, it's you. Ready for another round? GHEDE [Cont.; Panel 5]: More than happy to oblige! Page 12, 5 Panels- Kagu-Tsuchi's Mountaintop Dwelling Panel 1-2: A two-part set of panels centered on a single action shot between our titular heroine and the concrete Ozabot. In Panel 1, it's closed in on our two combatants as Ghede's blade phases through into the side of the Ozabot. Though it doesn't seem to connect to any vital fluids, much to her surprise. She's barely able to come to grips with this development in Panel 2 when the shadow of the concrete creature's muscular right arm comes into view. GHEDE [translated to Haitian Creole, to herself surprised; Panel 1]: That's...impossible... Panel 3: Action shot seconds later of the Ozabot's arm connecting with full force into Ghede's face, jarring her body powerfully toward the right side of the panel view. Her blade sliding out of its side as she moves, leaving no sign of a scar whatsoever. You can see more of the concrete creature's frame appear more from left to right in the panel view. Panel 4-5: A two-part set of panels which take place within milliseconds of the punch from Panel 3. In Panel 4, we see Ghede pulling herself back from the backward momentum of the punch. The shadow of the Ozabot, along with part of the top of his face and shoulders, can be seen around the left side of the panel view centering in for another attack. In Panel 5, the view catches both of them in blows. Ghede's blade slashing with furious authority, and the concrete creature blocking it with his forearm. GHEDE [composing herself, sneer; Panel 4]: And pretty fucking annoying!
