[So, due to a combination of unfortunate events, good luck and bad, the Batter escaped the cage he found himself in.
But there's no time to dwell on the hows and whys of that when there's nothing but chaos around him. Being unarmed in such a situation was also worrisome, but the Batter was nothing if not practical and the dead creatures had no need for their weapons. A spear is better than nothing even if the Batter was not experienced in using one. All he had to do was hope it didn't break as he dives back into the fray.
The Batter is not going to go out of his way to save people - the apes have done enough to prove they are hostile and in need of eradication, which has become his priority. But if someone gets his attention then he will follow. Or maybe they can lend a hand to destroy the monkeys attempting to kill him. The Batter wouldn't complain.
Strangely enough, however, the apes seems to be taking a rather cautious approach to the man. They're attempting to kill him like anyone else, but they're also circling the purifier when they can. Like watching a wounded animal that could still kill you if you are not careful.
Maybe they see something that nobody else yet has. But it doesn't matter to the Batter one bit. The creatures needed to be destroyed, one way or another.]
