[h3][b][u][color=gray]Natalia[/color][/u][/b][/h3]

	Natalia was focused entirely on getting her suit online. So as the monstrosity began to make it's way towards her, she only hunched her shoulders and gritted her teeth. It all happened very quickly. She wouldn't even have time to get ABI online. At the precise moment, there was a sudden burst of wind and movement. Natalia lost her balance and fell a little into the suit. Poking her white head up from her armor, she glanced around. There was an upside down woman against the wall, and the spider creature was now a considerable distance away. It spat webs at a dwarf. Time was running short, Natalia had to hurry before there were any casualties.

	In a matter of moments, the Powered Armor came to life. It began to thrum and vibrate with energy. Several internal graspers pulled Natalia within as if it was devouring her whole. The inside was dark, and her weapons were still offline. But it was better than nothing. Even in this state, the Powered Armor was a force to be reckoned with. The panels above Natalia slid together and the legless woman vanished entirely within the machine.

	It's eyes began to glow with a dull grey-blue light. The engineer inside had her body pressed up against various cushions. A UI displayed itself infront of her eyes, telling her that most systems were still offline. That didn't matter. There was a flash of white hot pain as a thin, mechanical tendril impaled itself into the base of Natalia's neck, connecting the armor into the subdermal neural interface she had built into herself. 

	A second later, the machine rose to it's feet. Simple as that, it rose to it's towering nine foot height. Natalia scanned the battlefield. The elf woman, she was in grave danger. In only a few seconds she would be mortally wounded. The armor had to intervene. She leaned forward and broke into a sprint. It took a moment to build up speed but before long the machine was thundering towards the spider and the elf. It was preparing to collide with the creature, to slam it's steel shoulder into it's form with as much speed and impact as possible.

	It was enough! That mirror lady could teleport, apparently, and moved the legless woman and her suit far away to De'kae's left. The thing had managed to burn through her barrier, but that was okay. Unfortunately for Ariamis, he looked to be the spider-beasts next target. Before he could react, it covered him with paralyzing webs.

	[color=39b54a]"Watch out!" [/color] She called out, preparing to summon another barrier between the spider and it's prey. But that wasn't what happened.  Instead, the spider-beast realised something De'kae hadn't in that moment. She was alone. In the maneuverings of the fight, all of her allies had been seperated from her, and De'kae was standing isolated. It began to charge. A gaze of pure hatred struck her like a lightning bolt, and she shuddered. It was fast, faster than she could prepare.

	Kay shrieked in terror. [color=39b54a][i]"AAIIIEEE!"[/i][/color] Flailing backwards she desperately tried to put as much distance between her and the beast as possible. Once again she tried to summon a barrier, for it was her only real defense against the charging beast. But in her heart of hearts she knew it would only stop the beast for a moment. With that much speed, it would be able to overcome her barrier before she could change it's shape to stop it. If anything, she would just be giving it a ramp. Nonetheless, it was half a second of safety and in her panicked state the Druid Elf could think of nothing else. Everything was going in slow motion, and yet in a blindingly short amount of time the beast was upon her.
