Gentlemen, post intros.

[Monster Master]

Ebigon could sense his long, bitter rival... Dunkleoder and his motley crew of ravenous eel mutants was long gone from the territory... and this left Ebigon the soul king of the undersea ruin of Miami, Florida. The many buildings, miraculously, survived the chaos brought about by Saberon and his devilish weapons... But for how long they would now remain was unclear.

Ebigon stood up on the streets, his feet creating large crevices in the already ruined roads as his waiting for food...

[DinoHunter2]

As the crustacean surveyed it's kingdom, the silty sand that sprawled over the sunken city's streets shook. A great mound of earth lifted upwards, throwing off great clouds of dust as it moved.
Anpheron rose up from the sea bed, heaving his enormous bulk off the ground and allowing the earth to slide off him. He blinked lazily and stretched out his neck, peering at the creature nearby. It looked awfully tasty.
Pulling his head close to his body and hunkering down to the ground, Anpheron waited. He had eaten enough mutant shellfish to know that they were stupid and tempermental. Surely this creature was no different- it would come to him, make the first move. The beast would come within range on it's own, and then Anpheron would make his move.

Sorry, this slipped my mind..

Spill some blood and all.

[Monster Master]

Ebigon wouldn't dissapoint...

His form swam backward at the blink of an eye and before his turtle-based foe could retract back into his shell, the lobster lashed out with its super-strong tail. The flat end smashed hard, like a baseball bat, on his foe's skull. An ear-ringing crack seared the water and scattered all surrounding mutants as a small stream of blood slowly drifted upward.

His foe recovering faster than he thought it would, Ebigon shrieked again and opened its pincer. The pincer shot down and clamped around the turtle's throat...

[DinoHunter2]

Anpheron rumbled, delighted by his foe's eagerness to die. Ignoring the grip on his throat, Anpheron swung open his jaws and concentrated instead on the arm that was so flauntingly close to his face. He slammed his beartrap jaws shut on the chitonous limb, the toothy serrations of his beak punching through the exoskeletal layer and stabbing soft, succulent flesh. Swinging his head, Anpheron yanked the shellfish off it's feet and swung it down, slamming it into the sea bed with a colossal crash and tearing it away from his neck.
Anpheron hissed, retracting his neck and taking a defensive position, ready to do battle.

[Monster Master]

Ebigon hissed under the waves, his tail slapping the sandy beach floor as he stood upright. The uber-lobster looked at his defensive turtleon foe and tilted its head... An idea came to mind. The lobster shrieked again and grabbed the turtle by one of its many shelled spiked-cannon things. The turtle groaned inside his shell, but refused to come out.

If that's how he wants it Ebigon figured as he let go of the cannon thing.

The lobster shrieked as it turned around, waving his super-strong tail in Anpheron's face. Then the attack came...

Anpheron's head, even pulled as far into the shell as it could be, bounced off the ground before the body was launched to the side, smashing into a sunken skyscraper. The sunken structure rightfully fell on the turtle.

Ebigon swam backward.. ready for whatever the turtle had coming next.

[DinoHunter2]

With a grunt, Anpheron heaved the debris off his shell and shook his head. He moved forward, grasping at the silty soil with his claws as he moved across the sunken city. As the lobster backed away, Anpheron lashed out, extending his neck and seizing him by the leg. Anpheron bit down hard, cracking the hardened outter layer and jabbing at the flesh beneath. He quickly retracted his neck, pulling Ebigon rapidly towards his body. Swinging his head and suddenly letting go, Anpheron tossed the comparitively lightweight kaiju into a nearby building, blowing it to bits in an explosion of debris.
Anpheron turned about, watching the cloud of water-laden dust settle on Ebigon's body. The giant turtle pushed down, wedging and digging itself into the soggy soil. With his head, legs, and tail submerged in the ground, Anpheron laid in wait for his prey.

[Monster Master]

The return came quick. The dust parted and Ebigon swam backward at a blink of an eye. His tail swaying back and fourth. The lobster hissed aloud as his tail slammed harshly into Anpheron's skull, then again on the other side, again, and again... and one final blow that fully flipped the turtle over.

With the turtle on its back, Ebigon lifted a claw and brought it down, holding the head down while the other claw prepared to decapitate the turtle.

[DinoHunter2]

Thanks to his cannons, however, it was impossible for Anpheron to be fully "on his back". Only tilted, Anpheron shoved to his side, plopping down on his belly with a grunt and righting himself. Ebigon's striking claw missed the turtle's head as it moved, striking the front of his shell instead. There was a loud, resounding "CLUNK", and which a screech, the crustacean recoiled, the tip of it's claw chipped from the impact.
Anpheron lunged forward, grabbing hold of the nearest apendage- Ebigon's other claw. Anpheron's powerful jaws took hold, punching through the opposing exoskeleton. He shook the lobster violently, heaving it off the ground and flailing it around like a chew toy. After a proper thrashing, Anpheron released his grip, throwing Ebigon down with a crash. As the mutant laid on the ground, Anpheron lowered his head and suddenly extended his head. The organic battering ram launched towards Ebigon's back with surprising speed...

[Monster Master]

"Uh-Oh..." That's what the people would be saying if they still lived in the ruins...

"Uh-Oh." was right. As the neck-like hammer was thrown at Ebigon's back, the lobster's most lethal appendage, his tail, was ready. When the skull reached the mid-way point, the tail came down as if a hammer on the weaker head.

The head was smashed against the sea floor before the tail came up again, smashing on its head. Armored as it were, not even Anpheron's hard armor could withstand this punishment. A cloud of red began to come up from the monster's maw as a fourth tail slam treated the turtle's head like an anvil. One final blow took the turtle to the limits...

Blood continued to flow freely now, and Ebigon stood up, shaking its body and staring holes through Anpheron...

[DinoHunter2]

(EDIT: Heh, I just realized... three posts ago, you seem to have ignored the last part of my post. If Anpheron buried his lower half, including his head, how did Ebigon hit the side of his head at the begining of the next post?)

If bloody was how it wanted it, bloody was how it'd get it.
Anpheron immediately lashed out again, siezing the cocky crustacean by it's throat. Applying full pressure, Anpheron bit down with all his might. A massive "CRAAACKKK!" boomed through the empty seas and echoed as Anpheron's jaws punched through the invertebrate's armor like cardboard. His beak-teeth jabbed deep into the monster's flesh, spilling it's watery ichor into the sea. Anpheron released his grip, then shut his jaws again, biting down hard on the open wound and driving his serrated maw even deeper into Ebigon's flesh.
Anpheron then pulled down and let go, throwing the bipedal shellfish into the ground. It's hooked face struck the ground with another, albiet softer, "CRACK!", resulting in a puff of dilluted blood. Anpheron rumbled, shaking his head and drawing it in near his body. He spread his toes out, digging his claws into the ground and bracing himself for the next attack.

[Monster Master]

Ebigon didn't go for the head this time though, and as he stood up, devised a new plan. The beast was armored... And the only way to go through that is damage that blasted shell. That it will...

Much, much for speedier in the water than his reptilian foe, Ebigon swam, his tail swaying quickly before standing behind the turtle. The monster snarled into the blackness, but the lobster now sat atop him, legs spread out to the sides of the undersea-useless cannons.

BOOM! The echo reached the furthers corners of the sunken city as Ebigon's thunderous blow smashed the shell. BOOM! Another. And another. The shell started to crack, and now the turtle was starting to thrash... Thrash as best it could anyway.

A fissure appeared within the shell. Not anything big, but a start. Soon it'll be enough to actually weaken the shell severely, but now was time to get off. The turtle snarled and slowly turned around... But Ebigon was gone!

The reptile snorted and looked around, but could only see the towering structures that closed the two off from the rest of the sea... Until...

One structure fell, to the right of him. The huge, skyscraper fell directly down... This couldn't aid his shell anymore.

[DinoHunter2]

Anpheron made no move- he shut his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and let it hit.
The aging tower of concrete and rusty steel hit Anpheron's shell with a crash, breaking apart on impact. Dust and debris filled the water, covering the giant turtle's back.
Anpheron shook himself and grunted. Clearly, this meal on legs didn't know what it was dealing with.
Stretching his neck and looking around, Anpheron spotted the pesky crustacean behind him. Perhaps it was getting ready to knock another building on him- it mattered little, however. Whipping his tail like a bolt of lightning, Anpheron swung his tail- striking the foolhardy shellfish square in the chest with his club. A spiderweb crack spread across Ebigon's chest as a thin, puffy veil of ichor dissipated into the water.
The ground shook softly as the giant shrimp fell to the sea bed. Anpheron turned himself about, aiming his ravenous jaws towards the lobster again. He held his ground, once more standing firm against whatever Ebigon had in store for him.
