The Thermal Detonator thrown by the Alchemist Lieutenant ends up conking the charging mage-knight on his helmet, the thing barely registering in the mind of the solider who was rendered practically deaf and blind by his thirst for glory and honor, if he wasn't so heavily protected by his suit of powered magitek armor and the various passive magical barriers he had erected, he would have been reduced into naught but atoms by the fusion blast.

But as it stood, it merely stopped his charge dead his tracks, badly scorched his armor, so badly that the thinner sections of his armor looked like they were partially melted and perhaps most tellingly, caused him to flail about blindly as he barrels towards a random direction; his helmet's visor having been overwhelmed by the intense radiance of the miniaturized nuclear fusion charge. Unfortunately, he was going [i]towards[/i] the Resistance gunline; where the moment he regains his sight, heads will roll...

Gasping in surprise at what had happened to his brother-in-arms, the Puppet-wizard neglected to retaliate against Mustang's troop and instead slams the butt of his staff on the ground, causing several pillars or stone to form in front of the rampaging knight, pillars that were soon bulldozed over by the superhuman strength of the knight, causing him to trip over the debris, stopping him long enough to shake off his impetuousness and realize that he was incredibly vulnerable in his state; prompting him to keep his head down as he erects an active barrier around him while he blinks the white spots from his vision.

"Defenser!"

A magical circle then forms in front of the knight, keeping him well-protected for the time being. Meanwhile, no good deed goes unpunished as the Puppet-Wizard curses loudly from a blaster bolt nearly blowing his staff-carrying arm off, giving him a good reason as any to take cover behind a crashed mech as he blindly throws fireballs behind him; the Rebels becoming wise to focus their firepower on the squishy spellcaster that can probably kill dozens of their number with just a gesture and not the currently turtling Knight who may or may not suddenly fire some sort of magical mega laser from his plain-looking sword.
