Rio grit her teeth in frustration as her bullets bounced harmlessly off of the hulking GEAR's shield, lowering the rifle and taking another look around. She wasn't getting to Ian in time - there's just no way. Gurevich was still brawling and Atlas was dancing with the devil while Hayakawa rushed on back. Sure, their victory was pretty clear in the long run - in practical terms it was 2,5 against 4,5. This did not make it any less frustrating that she had been doing almost nothing the entire match while her team was showing off. With her pride damaged, Rio started thinking less clearly. She [i]needed[/i] to help out her team in some way, she wasn't going to be dead weight! It's why she joined a team in the first place, to show she can carry her own burdens and prove to everyone she wasn't useless...

[color=94ffad]"I'll take the sniper!"[/color] Rio yelled over the communications, half out of anger. She activated the boosters on Union and pointed her rifle forward, but unable to take proper aim. She wasn't exactly trained to run and gun - most of her shots happened while standing still. What she could do, however, was toss a grenade the sniper's way - which is exactly what she did. Right after, Union stopped in place and took aim once more. Keeping the sights firmly on the sniper, Rio attempted to tear it apart with continuous fire - and if they made the mistake of coming for her, Bill can sweep in.
