Gene focused mainly on defending Nero while the unsaid leader of their ragtag group recovered, letting the others focus on the ent. As he was fighting off the rot warts and hollows, he had time to notice the ent throwing a powerful punch at Donnie, and his jaw dropped as the attack connected and sent the monk to the ground in a bloody heap. [color=burlywood][b]"DONNIE!"[/b][/color] Gene cried out. He didn't have time to help his friend though, as the rot warts and hollows were converging fast on him and Nero.

He could feel the God Hand's power draining as the nasty creatures moved in. He had to make this last attack count, or else he and Nero were toast. So, with a small mumble of prayer to whatever god had given him his powers, Gene whipped out the Roulette Wheel and started spinning. When the Wheel finally came to a spot, he found himself staring at the name of the move he was hoping for: [i]La Bomba![/i] A sharp [color=burlywood][b]"YEAH!"[/b][/color] escaped the brawler's lips as he rose his arm up high, then smashed it into the ground.

A large shockwave appeared around Gene and Nero, obliterating the rot warts and hollows closing in on them. Just in time too, as he was forced to clasp the Deistic Brace back onto his arm to contain the God Hand's energy. Gene let out a sigh of relief, turning to Nero who seemed to be recovering. [color=burlywood][b]"You doing better there, champ? Don't die on me now!"[/b][/color] As he spoke, he noticed that Donnie had recovered and was taking on the ent with the help of Banjo & Kazooie. Blazermate passed by to give the injured Nero some quick healing as well, much to Gene's relief.

Figuring that Nero was okay enough to fight back again, Gene nodded to him and spoke, [color=burlywood][b]"I'm gonna go help the others deal with big, ugly, and... Wood-y over there. You can handle some cannon fodder all good, eh?"[/b][/color] With those words, he immediately broke out into a sprint to help finish off the ent. He called upon the Roulette Wheel again, knowing that La Bomba was off the list, and was pleasantly surprised to see [i]Shockwave[/i] for his next attack. He probably still had some luck then. He unleashed the Shockwave upon the ent, hoping that that would finally finish the beast off.
