While the force of the blasts was enough to offset his balance considerably, Zuri's unexpected barrier protected them both from the main brunt of Rutger's violently dissipating attacks. Travis fell flat on his rear and covered his face until the brilliance of the attacks finally faded. Taking a brief moment to recuperate, Travis quickly returned to his feed and faced his teammate.

"Thanks Zuri, I could've been blown in to something unhealthy back there," he complimented Zuri as he brushed the last bit of dust from his coat.

Though they were seemingly out of danger for the moment, Raiya and Rutger's fight would drawn them back in yet again. In one swift motion, Rutger had allowed the failed swing of his hammer to fly out from his grasp and in to a death spin right towards Travis and Zuri. Travis himself barely took notice of the attack until it was right on top of them. However he only managed to consciously acknowledge it just after Raiya had intervened once. What shocked him further was how destructive Rutger's had brought with it as he watched even Raiya struggling to stop it. Travis only saw a glimpse of Raiya redirecting the destructive tool through a portal before she encased them in a protective barrier. With everything happening so fast, Travis was only able to surmise that the debris that suddenly rained down upon them was the result of the hammer colliding with the now-destroyed ceiling.
 
When the results of the attack finally settling, Travis finally reoriented himself once more and turned to their encoring savior, "thanks again for the save, Raiya. Just give a little more time."

He was truly grateful for her repeated assistance but given that there was so much riding on them now, Travis couldn't seem to form enough gratitude in to his words. At this point though, he knew not to expect appreciation for the sentiment and only results mattered now as they were struggling to ensure their lives as they fought someone whom was not giving them any breathing room to coordinate. It would be only a matter of time before Raiya would be unable to protect them any further if her own efforts faltered.

"Okay, where were we..." Travis began as he returned his a portion of his gaze to Zuri while keeping an eye on the battle just in case of any more surprises from Rutger, "...right. Zuri, what are you capable of doing when you assume that form of yours?"
