[h3][b][u][color=gray]Natalia[/color][/u][/b][/h3] Natalia wrestled with the creature, trying to end this fight quickly. But the spider creature was strong, almost as strong as her armor and twice as maneuverable. As it pulled away, defending itself from Natalia's attempts to grab the woman shaped growth, the sword wieler appeared and cut a strike across the creature. Reeling it intensely increased it's attempts to escape. It did so, but that cost of one of it's own legs. With a severing rip, blood spewed everywhere. The armor was taking far more acid damage than the engineer had anticipated, but if she could find a large source of steel or ore she could use her nano machines to repair it. The creature did manage to escape and scurried away, leaving the armor holding it's lost leg like a child who didn't get the right toy for Christmas. The armor's head briefly turned toward Saria and scanned the woman, taking in as much as she could. She possessed powers that didn't register on ABI's database. Then again, neither did the spider. Either way, Natalia began to boot up her weapon systems. With the spider so far away, the fighters capable of ranged attacks could begin to damage it. Natalia was one of them. Using the neurolink she began to turn on the Toolboxes equipped on her underarms. The two black devices on the outside of the machine's arm began to shift. Both of them began to take the form of a minigun. There was a shunk, and a clunk, and the powered armor banged it's knuckles together and the rapid fire cannon implements replaced the Toolboxes. Then the powered armor raised both of its arms toward the ceiling and let loose a thunderous stream of heavy machinegun fire toward the creature. Accuracy was nearly impossible to consider, but Natalia would be damned if she let the creature recuperate in peace. It would pay for it's disengagement with it's own blood. Natalia briefly considered the possibility of a kind of acid rain and began to move slightly away from being directly under the creature, though she failed to mention this out loud to her current compatriots. [h3][u][b][color=39b54a]De'kae, the Druid[/color][/b][/u][/h3] There was a gap in the Druid Elf's memory. The last thing she remembered was being underneath the beast. Now, she was staring at the back of her own eyelids laying on her back, with a dull throbbing pain in her shoulder and midriff. And something else...a heat. Something sharp. She could barely feel it. The woman's left ear twitched and she slowly opened her large green eyes. The heat picked up. Suddenly, there was a rush of an unbearable agony. Katelin would watch as De'kae thrashed very briefly, gasping. Her fingers grasped desperately at Katelin's collar. De'kae's beige skin turned a ghastly shade of white. [color=39b54a][i]"Aaaie- ieei-"[/i][/color] She squeaked, casting a trembling glance toward the flaming piece of metal stuck into her open flesh. Then the clawing grasp released and De'kae went limp once more, her fingers trailing down Katelin until they rested on the floor. De'kae was unconscious again, her head tilted slightly upward and her mouth wide open, her large ears falling into a downward position.
