Seren watched the two Attack Force members run out of range and braced herself for the backlash of her cannon. When the cannon made the small click of ignition, Seren felt as though her arms were being ripped out of her sockets. Her cannon exploded with a stream of red lasers that picked up dust and hid the monster from view. Whether the monster fell from the attack or not was indistinguishable for Seren. As her cannon continued it's screaming, Seren mentally prayed to herself if what was happening was indeed happening.
She desperately clung on tightly to her cannon as it lifted her from her feet and into the air. Her red bangs flew madly as her cannon continued it's onslaught of sound and power. Seren, terrified as she was, cried out in shock as she hit the ruins of the city. Her back, slowly cursing her cannon by the second, managed to protect her without breaking as she slowly slid down from the wall at the cannon's last breathe. With a final spurt of energy, it died into a slow hum before being shut off entirely by it's maker.
Seren began coughing from the amount of dust picked up and rigidly stood on her two feet, cannon slung awkwardly on her shoulder. Her back ached from the impact, and felt as if it would never be straight again. As she took a few deep breathes out, she noted with disdain that she was bleeding from her head. However, she quietly blinked back the blood and continued to stare intently at the relative direction of where the large monster stood.
" D-did.. it work?"

Peter watched silently as his friend approached the head of the monster, shot it for good measure, and said, "Yeah. It's dead." Peter looked around, trying to note the damage done by the monster. His friend and the other Defense Force member were both consolling the girl from the Creation Force, but it was obvious she had only been frightened. <Must have been her first day or something> he thought. Ignoring the pain in his leg from where the monster had clawed him, Peter limped through the dust cloud towards where the girl with the cannon had been thrown. He knelt down next to her. "Hey, are you-Shit your head is bleeding!"

Seren sighed in relief at the dead monster and slunk down the wall she had been thrown on. Whatever it was, it was one of the most powerful monsters she had ever encountered. But what worried her the most was...her cannon.
Was it damaged from the amount of force the attack used? Were the chambers still clean? Was there any dent in the ejector?
Seren's spinning thoughts were cut short by an Attack member commenting on her head. Seren carefully removed one of her hands from the tight grip of the cannon and felt along her head. She seemed to have a shard of glass on the top part of it, probably when she hit the ruins. Dejectedly, she wiped her bloody hand on her yellow shirt and brought her eyes back to the attack member.
" I will get it taken care of when we reach the front. But before we go back..."
Seren used the wall next to her as a crutch and stood up slowly. Tilting her head to the side, she faced the Creation Force member and addressed her.
" Shouldn't you register this monster into the logbooks? Well.. what I mean to say is, is such a monster supposed to be here? That I recall from school, monsters of that size are only found in the forest..."

"We'll take care of that later, you're hurt." Peter always got like this when people were injured. "You need to sit down before you pass out from the blood loss or something."

Seren's face grew stone hard at the Attack Force member. After a quick once over, she shook her head and said, " You realize you're hurt as well? But that's not the big picture. Right now, I'm more concerned for the Front. If such a monster has traveled from the forest to the ruins, the front is at danger of such monsters attacking it. Furthermore-"
Seren felt herself fall on her knees, the world spinning rapidly in front of her eyes.
" Wh-wha..."
The littlest effort began hurting her head. She guessed that the Attack Force member was correct.

Peter held the girl steady by her shoulders, not letting her fall. "Head injuries are always the worst," he told her. "Can you stand? We need to get you to a doctor right now."

Seren used her cannon as a makeshift crutch, but inevitably fell into the Attack force member. Her head was spinning faster now, and she could barely hear a thing. The man said something about standing, but that was all Seren could catch.
" You... need.. doctor..too.."
Seren winced at the effort it took to speak and identified the two Attack Force and Defense Force members run over to where they were. Seren could feel herself sinking to the ground. No matter how strong the Attack Force member was, they were both injured.
What happened next made Seren's blood grow cold. With all the strength she could muster, she brought her cannon up and shot at the monster behind them before falling to the ground. She could hear the sounds of combat, but it seemed like it was in another world. Seren did her best to remain consciousness as different group members yelled different things.
At that moment, she felt useless to the Front.

"Aw, dammit," Peter muttered, laying the girl down. He scrambled around for his swords where he had dropped them on the ground and ran-limped towards the next monster as fast as he could. His friend and the other member from the Defense Force were a great enough destraction to the beast that he was able to slice at its soft underbelly. Combined with the damage his comrades had done, the monster began bleeding out and grew even more desperate in its attempts to kill them. Almost as if in deep water, Peter heard the gun shots of his friend, and the anguished cry from the monster. He realized that under the monster's body was not where he wanted to be when it finally fell, and ran out from under it just in time.

Groggily, Seren regained consciousness and blinked back the blood from her green eyes. She heard the anguished cry of the monster and silently hoped that no one else had gotten injured. Head pulsing in pain, she tried to push herself from the ground but her arms wouldn't listen. She noted with disdain that her skin was paler than usual as she heard footsteps near her head. Weakly, she tried to say something, but ended up making a pitiful sounding moan.
She was so useless, it made her mad.

"...So she'll be okay?" the Defense Force member asked the doctor.
"Oh, yes. Back to her old self in no time."
The Creation Force member had left them after they all returned back to the front, still a little shaken, but the remaining three had stayed close to the girl who got injured, wanting to make sure that she would be alright. She had been flitting in and out of conciousness on their way back, and had barely been able to sit up on her own.
"I'm ready to treat your leg, if you'd like," the doctor said to Peter. He nodded.
"Well..." Peter's friend said. "I'm going to inform our superiors of the whole monster issue..."

Seren dreamt of being lifted into the air and placed on a soft cloud. It was an insane dream, but left her at ease in the end. The pain from her head subsided after a while and she managed to feel calm for the first time a long time. Reluctantly, she opened her eyes from her sleep and focused on where she was. But it was an odd looking place, where she found herself surrounded by white. White bed sheets, white curtains, white pillow, white ceiling.
" Where....?"
Seren jumped at the sound of her own voice. It was hoarse and hurt when she spoke. Most likely due to her screaming at her group members earlier. Ah. The group members. Were they unharmed? Or did they....
She shied away from the thought.

You can explain to Seren where she is and what the situation is.
Yeah, that'd be helpful.

"Hey, you're awake," Peter said, smiling. "That's good."

Seren was startled but quickly composed her face and looked towards the Attack Force Member.
" Yes. Sorry for your concern. Did everyone else come out... unscathed?"
It was one thing for that large monster to attack them, but another one? It must've been attracted by the noise, or rather, the smell of blood.
