"I will." Marty said as he grabbed Joy's hand and took her away. Temptation ran towards the catapults. He went to the closest one and told them his request.
"Aim for the head, and launch once you predict he will start looking this way." Temptation commanded. "Yes, Temptation." One of the catapult managers replied, then signaled the closest catapult to aim.
"Let me help you guys." Temptation said as he went to the rear of the catapult to load a boulder.
"Wind it up!" The catapult manager said, and the rest of the team wound up the catapult until they it was wound to the maximum power.
"Ready..." The catapult manager said, holding his hand up as a signal. He stared at the head of Lord Fear the Maximus Tentaculous, focusing until he could predict that it was going to look at the catapult. What felt like minutes, went by in a few seconds, and Lord Fear began to turn his head towards the catapults as he fought the other troops with his tentacles.
"Fire!" He shouted, and he pointed his arm out in command. The catapult was launched immediately. The catapult manager looked at the arc of the shot, and saw that it was aiming right for Lord Fear's head.
"Good aim guys. What did you think, Temptation?" He asked. A few seconds later, he heard no reply. "Temptation?" He asked again.
He turned his head around to see that Temptation was gone. The other soldiers operating the catapult were confused as well. The catapult manager looked at the boulder they just launched, and they suddenly saw a figure grasping onto it as it was flying towards the head of Lord Fear.
"WE JUST LAUNCHED TEMPTATION!" He screamed. "WHAT?!?!?!?!" They all gasped.
Temptation's eyes were wide open. He was holding onto the flying boulder with all of his might. He could only see a bit past the edge of the boulder, but he knew in a few seconds it would smash right into Lord Fear's head.
"3...2...1..." Temptation counted as he braced for impact. The boulder crashed right onto the side and disintegrated into a million pieces. Temptation faceplanted right into Lord Fear's squishy yet durable forehead. This was the closest he was going to get to reaching Lord Fear's head unnoticed.
The flesh was slimy yet rough and bumpy in texture enough for him to cling to. It felt as if he were on a hot, breathing mountain that threatened to shake him loose with every move of its tentacles. Miraculously, Fear didn't seem to notice him yet. Grimacing, Temptation bit the antidote between his teeth and began descending as slowly and as carefully as he could. He needed to get close to the mouth. The boulders that had smashed into the monster's head slowed him a little, obviously wounding him. However his tentacles continued to writhe like enormous snakes, striking at anything that came near. Some soldiers and horses were grabbed and sent flying through the air. Shocked and pained cries and whinnies replaced the defiant war cries. The commander ordered the men to retreat several yards to get out of the way. Joy hacked as best as she could at the tentacles with her sword, but it did little damage. As she retreated back with the soldiers, her gaze landed on the catapults left standing. Her eyes lit up. She dashed to the one closest to Fear. "Joy, no!" Marty cried. "What are you--?" Ignoring the monster hovering over her head, she lay on her back by the catapult and kicked at one of the wheels. Several soldiers got the idea and joined her. Finally one wheel was smashed and kicked away. They were already working on the second wheel when the catapult shuddered with a low groan. "Get out of there!" the commander cried. "She's going down!" Everyone scrambled. Joy felt splinters fly by her face and prick into her flesh as the catapult fell forward into Fear. The monster staggered back with a pained gasp and screech, tentacles waving wildly to and fro. The soldiers dashed up the hill and joined their comrades. Joy was staggering close behind them when something wrapped itself around her legs. She felt herself being jerked back and dragged across the rocky ground. Rocks grazed her body as she was yanked away. "No, Joy!" her mother cried. Temptation's heart stopped when he saw Joy locked in Fear's grasp. Gritting his teeth, he used one hand to uncork the bottle of antidote. He hung onto Fear's face with one hand precariously.

Awesome part! It's getting more and more perilous for Joy and Temptation!

Thank you, thank you, yes, just thought we needed some more angst.

1. Not the horses! 2. Now we're really getting intense here, I can feel it!

Temptation opened the bottle and tried to hold it steady so he wouldn't spill. He watched as Joy was being dragged across the ground, then slowly raised up toward Lord Fear's mouth.
The jaws of the Maximus Tentaculous was big and wide, and had lots of little teeth that could pierce any armor. To Lord Fear, Joy would just be an appetizer.
Temptation had never felt so scared in his whole life, seeing Joy being swallowed alive, but he knew what he had to do. Right when he tentacle clutching onto Joy was just about to enter the jaws, he let go of his other hand.
What took only a few seconds, felt like a sequence in slow motion.
He fell from a long distance, free-falling toward the tentacle that held Joy's legs tightly. He looked toward Lord Fear's mouth and counted to three.
"One... two... three..." He was in view of the mouth, and right in that second he hurled the bottle and the potion into Lord Fear's mouth. He watched as it was swallowed easily.
Next, he looked downward and saw Joy hanging upside down like a bat, scared for her life. From her perspective she saw a mouth, but then she saw Temptation right in front of her falling "up".
Temptation reached her with his arms and hugged her tightly as he fell, and the force of the fall was just enough to make her legs slip free from Lord Fear's tentacle grasp.
With Joy in his arms, Temptation twisted his body a few directions to manipulate their angle, which led to them landing back onto the rocky floor on Temptation's back.
Both were knocked unconscious for only a few seconds. Joy woke again watching Temptation with his eyes closed, and turned around to see Lord Fear, still massive and big, but somehow frozen for just a little bit. So much happened in about ten seconds of time, and Joy was still processing all of it.
Sorry for the late part again! It's been a busy week with school, but I definitely wanted to get a part for this out of the way before midterms next week!

Oh no I get it, my part will probably be a little slow in coming, too! xD Well done, by the way! Even with professional writers the way they write action sequences leaves me confused and wondering where the characters are, but with this I could see everything perfectly and it looked amazing. So, kudos to you.

No worries! Take your time! Thanks! I'm glad my imagery of the action came through nicely! I just thought about it like an action movie, especially the idea of slow motion, and thought I'd try "slow motion writing", I guess.
