Mathew's power starts pushing the machine's head upwards, but the sheer size of it keeps it from lifting too high. It's chest opens slightly, and an entire cloud of something starts spreading out towards Mat! Luna's fist slams into the heavy, driving it into the ground. However, it seems to almost immediately pick itself up out of the hole!

He'd advance under the street for now to close the distance in a safer manner.

"I want to try something. Do it again." Provided Aaron does so, she'll try to see if she can force the laser's direction at the heavy guy fighting Luna!

It was like trying to crush a lego. Gah. As it starts to get up, Luna tries to stomp on him with her foot! These things sure were sturdy...she wasn't sure how to break them.

The massive machine starts heading closer towards the bunker, where Luna and the others are fighting! Luna's stomp slams into the heavy, knocking it down again, but this time sending it through the street and into the sewer below! However, she can hear the second heavy approaching from where it had been thrown away. The beam fires again, and Savaak manages to direct it! Where does she aim it, since the original target is now underneath the street? « Last Edit: Feb 25, 2016 22:34:54 GMT -6 by Jack Makaila » Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Trainer Powered Trainer [send pm] Joined: June 2011 Posts: 12,706 Paradigm Shift #10: Enter the Empire « Feb 25, 2016 22:36:28 GMT -6 » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top He'd shift through the earth, tracking the vibrations of it's steps along with it's timing to try and sink it's front feet into the ground!

Hopefully he's knocked out or he'll probably come back. And speaking of a heavy coming back... Luna turns to look at the one coming back. She looks for a piece of rubble to pick up that she fully intends to throw at him. Back to Top   Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

There's a loud, high pitched whine of building energy. Savaak's beam slams right back into the turret, striking both the gun emplacement and the man who had been using it! The entrance to the bunker appears to be clear, with a hallway leading further in to a large metal door. Luna's rubble is plowed right through as the heavy charges, slowing it down but not stopping its momentum forward! It seems to be surrounded in a yellow glow! Aaron knocks the remains of the turret over!

Really nice to know! He gives Savaak a thumbs up as he leads the way inside, shutting the door behind them before indicating the metal one! "If you're able to get that open, I'll cover you." As he gets ready to do just that, he liberates the fallen guard of any weapons, putting away the electro gun to do so. Actually using them on people, not so sure, but they could be handy tools.

However, he does manage to keep it from firing immediately! When Luna freezes, the heavy leaps for her in a tackle, aimed like a cannon ball for her stomach! Aaron takes a pistol! Savaak finds the glow doesn't feel like simple light, and while she could possibly move it, it feels too intense to do so easily.

She hopes Aaron can cover anyone coming after her with that being pretty much her sole focus.

They really, really need to get on with this, though. It's not that he doesn't want Luna backed up, he totally respects that. But completely ignoring the objective when they're on the clock like this, that's not so good - and there's a part of Aaron that doesn't like being blown off, has bad memories of the elementary school mission, but he tries to suppress that. After checking the soldier for any keycards or anything, and taking them if he finds them, Aaron moves up, new pistol in hand, to check the metal door! He makes sure not to stay directly in front of it, in case anything shoots into the doorway. « Last Edit: Feb 25, 2016 22:58:33 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

Savaak manages to pull the cannonball-leaping heavy slightly, but not that much, overall. Luna's swat lands flush, aiding in the shove from Savaak and sending the heavy into the building across the street again! However, the moment she makes contact with her hand, Luna feels a terrible pain in her entire arm! Aaron finds a keycard! It seems to fit the metal door!
