At the very least, Hazel and Emma’s attacks deterred the charging horde from approaching if not for a small amount of time, enough for Angel to evaluate just how fucked they were. With a clear view ahead, Angel could see what Brent had been warning her about the spiders. She had no idea what exactly the web was made of, but it certainly wasn’t anything soft judging from how thin yet glistening with a metallic gloss. Already, Angel could picture the spiders falling all around her team, slicing everyone to ribbons as the threads made contact with the flesh of her teammates. Adding to the jumping spider menace was the charging horde of centipedes and hounds. Could it be? Were those creatures holding some sort of sentience and ability to strategize? Was that frontal assault been a plot to distract them from the lurking threats at the rear, spinning their deadly web? Most certainly, these creatures were better at working together than the handful of Mages this team was made of. The sonic Mage’s heart was racing more than ever before. The stress kept her on edge, her mind struggling between coming up with solutions to their crisis, fighting off her stigma pounding in the backdoor of her consciousness and keep herself just focused enough to take everything into consideration. When she saw Siena being stuck to the ground by a crippled clockwork Hound that tripped on her, Angélique’s snapped as she unconsciously shouted Siena’s name in worry. There was no way they were going to live from this fight if everyone kept getting in each other’s way. Hazel obscuring everyone’s sight; Grant blindly tossing boulders at his teammates; herself hitting her allies with her sonic waves. It had to stop. [color=9e0039]“Hazel, swat the spiders from the sky and tear their web down!" "Everyone else, keep the rest of the horde at bay! Focus your attacks! We have to stop getting in each other’s way! ”[/color] Angel shouted to her teammate, her voice now heightened further by a more mundane use of her abilities to make sure her words would carry out on top of all the noise surrounding them and to those who were a bit further away, such as Hazel airborne and Emma at the back. It may be hypocritical of her to order this as she had blasted Emma’s tulpas and nearly sent Hazel knocked from her airborne position, but it needed to be said. For the moment, Angel couldn’t afford to care about the impression she was giving or the opinions of others’. This battle was going downhill, but Angel had the will to live through this and to protect her classmates from being killed. She’ll take it upon herself to make sure they come back alive today. Turning to a struggling Siena, the raven-haired Aberration rushed to the brunette Arbiter. While anxiety was tearing her up from inside, Angel found the focus she needed in the goal of helping a friend, saving someone close to her, someone she cares about. Focusing on what needed to be done to help Siena out of her predicament, the sound Mage manifested her resolve in the form of a point-blank shot of concentrated sonic wave, aimed precisely at the large metal hound shuffling atop Siena’s lower body. No way in fucking hell a monster would lay their teeth on someone precious to Angel’s eyes. Even if the clockwork creature was knocked away from Siena, Angélique would release a few more furiously focused shouts at the animal to make sure it stays down and give Siena the time to get her powers back. While screaming a machine into submission wasn’t half as satisfying as doing so on an actual living being, the obsidian-haired metal singer could feel some ease at the back of her mind; her stigma gradually satisfied with the Aberration taking it out persistently on a single target.
