As each round was deflected, James found himself more and more frustrated. It seemed that no matter how he variated his firing pattern or changed his firing position, the Shadow Knight was able to both perceive and block rounds that moved faster than any spell or arrow he would likely have encountered before. [color=SteelBlue][i]"There's gotta be someway around that Traveler forsaken sword, Charger! Find it!"[/i][/color] Exhausting another cylinder of rounds, he reloaded again, though not bothering to fire in case he put his team mates in further danger. Charger was silent, likely running firing vectors and likely deflection paths, leaving the Guardian to try and find a work around. Samus and Hapu wouldn't be able to get around Oswald as things were and his giving the Shadow Knight bullets to reflect at his team was making it worse. 

Suddenly, a grenade charge indicator popped up next to the Guardian's ammo indicator at the same time Charger's white face, as it appeared in the HUD when he wasn't physically manifested, appeared in the top right corner of the HUD. [color=LightCoral][i]"We have access to the Voidwall Grenade again. I don't know what requirement we fulfilled to get it, but we have it."[/i][/color] James didn't respond, instead allowing the familiar touch of the Light to appear in his hand, the cylinder that was the Voidwall Grenade appearing in a purple light a moment later. James grinned behind his helmet as it did so, but then frowned.

[color=SteelBlue][i]"Can we confirm that the only person the flames will hurt is Oswald, and should the need arise, Brigan? And that I'm the only other person that the detonation would hurt?"[/i][/color] Charger's picture rotates around his eye for a moment, and then a response comes forth.

[color=LightCoral][i]"Yes, we can. Everything operates as it should. All you need to do is throw."[/i][/color] James nodded and Charger's face disappeared before the Nightstalker rounded the corner, letting the grenade go sailing just as Oswald was knocked to the ground by the sudden shaking of the ground beneath him. Disappearing back around the pillar, James holsters the Imago Loop and pulls his knife free of it's sheath, standing still. [color=LightCoral][i]"You realize how suicidal that is right? We don't have the Razelighter or the Bolt-Caster, which only reduces your odds."[/i][/color] James shrugs, waiting for some kind of reaction from the hopefully burning Shadow Knight.

[color=SteelBlue][i]"Well, we both knew I'd have to do something crazy eventually."[/i][/color] As he stood there, waiting for an opening, he silently wished that he'd spent more time with the Blade Dancers. They were deadly with a knife, and while he had much training from them to thank for what skill he did have, he was still better with the Razelighter than the small blade that all Hunters carried on them. Simply put, if he had to try and face down the Shadow Knight in melee, he'd feel more comfortable doing it with one of his own swords. All the same, he radioed Samus.

[color=SteelBlue]{I want to apologize for the ballistic rounds you just had fly at you. I was unaware that he would deflect them like that.}[/color]
