Not much could be done with Tayla, her lower body was now a bloody mess. The other guards pointed their guns at me but found them being hoisted in the air by a thread of fine web.

"He he...nice one Spider," murmured a faint voice from the crumpled body of Tayla. Strangely enough the outline of where her limbs used to be suddenly glowed a soft baby blue. When the light disappeared her limbs had reappeared basically out of thin air. Again the light glowed but this time from her waist down and it stretched in a lumpy tail - I guess you could call it. Little pointed legs produced themselves from the glowing bodily parts and when the formation was complete the light disappeared and in place of her legs was a very large Millipede body.

I sighed, "You always knew how to make an impression." On my own body I had limbs appearing as well, an extra pair of arms and an abdomen. The web came for thickly now from my hands and abdomen, it was now strong enough to break metal – to prove I lashed it like a whip at the guillotine which snapped upon impact.

"Lets get this party started," replied Tayla, her Cross body projecting her at high speeds through the guards – kind of like when you go tenpin bowling. I shook my head; I needed to get the prisoners so I left all the fighting to Tayla and hurried towards the frightened children.

"Hey, don't worry," I told them assuringly, "We're just like you and we'll take you to more like us."

I gently pulled the cloths out of their mouths and the first thing they said was, "What are you?" I smiled, such innocent children.

"We're Crosses." I whispered back before hoisting the first child onto my shoulders.
