	[color=c0c0c0][i]Damn it,[/i][/color] Chris thought as he saw Blacklight perform an extremely risky and dangerous maneuver in an attempt to prevent the Hound’s helicopter form making its escape. If it had been one of the rookies, Chris would not have been surprised that he or she made such a miscalculated mistake. But Blacklight was a veteran. She should have known better than attack the copter in that way. They could have tried a variety of different course of action other than what Blacklight did: try to disable the engine or stall the helicopter long enough for the heroes to extract Murdock. Blacklight instead endangered not only herself by diving straight into the helicopter’s rotor blades, but also the Hounds inside and anyone else within the vicinity if the copter had crashed.

	And now Chris had to deal with the severed rotor blades. The two that were on the far side of the helicopter were lost causes. By the time he would have taken out the two that were on his side, the other blades would have slammed into the side of one of the nearby buildings. If they had any luck, no one would be injured by these rogue blades.

	Taking out the first two blades was not going to be too difficult of a task. Chris first activated his energy shield and allowed one of the blades to collide with this protective barrier. The blade shattered on impact. Then, Chris turned off his shielding and took aim at the second blade. Once his armor’s targeting systems had locked onto the second blade, Chris blasted it into tiny pieces. However, instead of allowing the remains of the blade to shower the street below him, Chris scooped up the pieces in a high-durability bag that his armor ejected and immediately reeled back in once its intended target had been retrieved.

	While Chris was dealing with these two blades, the other two whirled in the opposite direction. One harmlessly skidded across an abandoned rooftop. However, the final blade crashed into the side of the building directly across the street from the helipad.

	[color=c0c0c0]“What the—do I have to babysit everyone here?”[/color] Chris muttered to himself when he saw Pantheon snatch up two of the Hounds from the helicopter and launched himself into the sky. Chris knew that Pantheon was not just flying those two Hounds to the police station since they began to fall back towards the ground once Pantheon had reached the peak of his jump.

	Chris immediately bolted towards the downed helicopter. Those who had not been grabbed by Pantheon had been dazed from the crash caused by Blacklight. Chris took advantage of the Hounds’ current state and snatched a parachute away from one of the Hound grunts. He then soared up into the air and head towards Pantheon.

	[color=c0c0c0]“You’re going to want to hold onto this,”[/color] Chris commanded Pantheon after shoving the parachute into Pantheon’s chest. Once the parachute was secured, Chris yanked on the pull string and activated the parachute. Since they were relatively close to the rooftop, as compared to the proper altitude where a parachute should be activated, the parachute would not provide the three men a smooth landing. But it should at least prevent Pantheon from creating crater on the helipad, along with two bloody corpses in his arms.

	Once Chris had dealt with the problems the other heroes had caused, he then returned to the helicopter. The Hounds inside, including Murdock, were starting to recover from the crash and were now trying to force their way out. However, Chris just pushed the Hound soldiers aside and pulled Murdock out of the copter and tossed him onto the ground. He then secured the leader behind the Hounds with a cable stored inside his Iron Knight suit.
