While the Clone Empress didn't dodge the first attack volley due to Viridian Lightnign moving at light speeds, she hadn't given the group enough time to fire again, quickly taking a gauss rifle for herself. Instantly, the self destruct protocols activated, the Gauss Rifle exploding in a bright green flash as it's full load is blown in the Empress's face. This was a code placed to prevent any from learning anything from the Necron, as any piece of technology one captured for observation exploded or teleported away. However, even with this action, which would most likely wound the Clone Empress even further, problems were mounting up. With nine Necron Warriors firing, and one just kind of punching people (not very effective), even the Necron firepower was beginning to be overwhelmed. 

Of course, Cur'A'Sol had already devised a strategy to hold out until the Spyder would once more return, both for it's own firepower as well as the Scarabs that used it as a kind of drone carrier. Instead of firing their weapons at full power, the Necron Warriors started firing at arms and legs. Their normally expertly guided firepower now seemed to be used to flay and maim, instead of dealing a killing blow, a rather unexpected tactic. However, there were many things that these fools did not know about the Necron, and now he would use that to his advantage.

As more and more blood hit the ground, a dark, unliving creature detected it. Emerging from the pocket dimension that was their home, the Flayed Ones seemed to appear from nowhere. 20 of them, garbed in rotting meet and flesh, Their cursed bodies were mangled and shambling, long warped blades equipped with distortion fields emanating from their fingers. The Necron Warriors and the Necron Lord, of course, instantly fell back from the creatures, fearful of the dreadful curse of insanity that held the minds of the Flayed ones spreading to them. It was not often one willfully called the Flayed Ones into a battle, but Cur'A'Sol was prepared to use any means necessary, even if it meant endangering his ten Warriors with the proximity of the Curse.
