Kon felt the Hydra's barbed tail slash into his cheek as he flew towards it. Hundreds of heads armed with razor-sharp teeth were snapping every which way, and somewhere below was the girl he loved, buried under a pile of rubble, possibly hurt...
He tried to think back to the legends he'd heard about the hydra. He hadn't thought they would actually ever play a role, but that was the kind of thing that happened when you were dating a demigoddess. He knew you couldn't cut off its head or two more would grow back - apparently that had been tried by someone, and it didn't work too well.
As the blood trickled down his cheek it occured to him - what if you crushed all the heads at once?
One particularly strong TTK blast and an avalanche later, the hydra seemed to be dead. For now. He flew down to where he'd seen the Hydra slam Cassie into the cliff wall, and began digging up the rubble.
"Cassie! Babe, yell if you hear me!" There was no response. He thought back to the crisis, and knew exactly how terrified she must have been when she lost him.
"Nnn...Kon?"
Kon saw a flash of blonde hair under the rubble, quickly lifted the rest of it, and helped Cassie out. She seemed mostly okay, but her leg was pinned under a particularly large boulder. Using his TTK, he lifted it off and picked her up in his arms.
"Geez, you had me so scared." Kon leaned in and gave Cassie a passionate kiss. "You okay?"
"Think my leg's broken." Cassie groaned. "But otherwise I'll live." She reached up and touched the nasty gash alongside his face. "Oh, man. Your face."
"It's nothing. Just a scratch."
As Kon held her tightly in his arms, Cassie looked at his face. It would likely heal without a mark, but it was pretty gruesome right now. Still, he had never looked more handsome to her. Those who said Kon only cared about his looks didn't know him well enough.
