"Engaging hostiles." It lifts its hand and shoots flame down the hallway! The metal starts to bend in Mathew's grip of his power, but strangely, he can feel it start to repair itself. He can tell it feels as if other metal is making the repairs. Back to Top   Luna Arias Student Defense Whatever?

"Just...go." she says, seemingly too stressed to talk as she tries to squeeze the feeling out of her hand and arm.

Aaron keeps away from the fire and calls up a wall of darkness in its path, since he knows from experience his shadows can stop flames. He tries to shove the wall right into the robot while it can't see him, aiming to hit it not only with blunt force but its own fire!

The wall smacks into the robot, knocking it back into the room, but otherwise it seems unconcerned with the fire! Luna hears the sound of the heavy picking itself back up from being slammed into the building, as well as the other one beginning to climb out of the hole that had sent it into the sewers.

How're you?" Ah, the wit that comes from being in mortal danger. As the wall smashes the robot into the room, it tries to wrap around it and shoot spikes into any weak areas in the armour! Including its face. « Last Edit: Feb 25, 2016 23:13:40 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

"Hijo de puta..." she curses under her breath. [Comm:] "I'll be busy out here...you two get whatever like, done." And with that she would grow again, grabbing a large piece of rubble in one hand. Hopefully that would let her hit them without touching that yellow light again. « Last Edit: Feb 25, 2016 23:18:24 GMT -6 by Luna Arias » Back to Top   Jack Makaila Moderator Director of Terror [color=limegreen]I'm your daddy.[/color] [send pm] Joined: March 2011 Posts: 21,584 Paradigm Shift #10: Enter the Empire « Feb 25, 2016 23:19:47 GMT -6 » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top The robot grabs at its face as the shadows wrap around its head, and Aaron can feel his shadows seem to diminish that are trying to form spikes. Mathew's condensing works! Up until the Nanobots start breaking apart from each other, repairing damaged machinery almost as quickly as he crushes them together. There's not just thousands, or hundreds of thousands. There's billions. Savaak gets a good view of Aaron in the hallway, while the metal door at the far end is open. The team's comm's flare to life! "You guys need to hurry, Imperials are on their way to your location right now." Both heavies charge Luna at once! « Last Edit: Feb 25, 2016 23:21:03 GMT -6 by Jack Makaila » Back to Top   Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

Luna doesn't have time to respond, but consider her notified as she takes a step back to avoid being tackled, then aims to hit one of the heavies with the rubble in her hand. Or both if they meet up at a single point.

Mathew finds a massive... massive reactor has been built into the dragon. It feels like it would put a nuclear reactor to shame. Aaron steps in before Savaak does, and as he's busy checking the corners of the room and noticing that the room is distinctly empty of inhabitants other than the robot, the robot suddenly drops its hands. A red beam fires from its mouth, piercing straight through the few shadows that still managed to cover it, burning right through Aaron's captured pistol and narrowly missing Savaak's arm!

Not just for the team, but for anyone even remotely close to here. It would seem that keeping the cycle of damage and self repair was for the best right now.

He starts shifting to the side to draw its attention and keep Savaak away from the line of fire as he quickdraws his electroshock pistol! Good thing he brought two guns! Its own shadow comes up, too, as a big concussive blast from directly below! « Last Edit: Feb 25, 2016 23:35:02 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

The robot is knocked upwards from the blast, sending it into the ceiling before it opens its wrist up, revealing missiles! "Initiating widespread destruction." Luna is met with the same silence she's always had, as the heavy starts moving closer slowly, attempting to keep from overshooting its target once more.

Savaak takes a moment to get away from Aaron since she doesn't know how wide spread the destruction will be. She activates the lightsaber from the opposite side and swings at the robot.
