With the combined effort of everyone, the battle in this area was winding down. Even the more powerful units that were summoned were, for the most part, dealt with. Blazermate got a new, big zombie out of the deal, and there were some pretty neat spirits all around the place alongside the various weapons some primids had used. Sectonia's Lightning didn't do as much as she would hope to the scythe weidling primid, but the Cadet, someone Sectonia really didn't even pay much attention to, finished the job of handling the strange beast. To be fair, even though she was flying above everyone, she missed a few things, some that Blazermate noticed thanks to her ability. 

While Sectonia was flying about the decimated area, the last of the sentry's ammo cleaning up the few stragglers that were left, she swooped and grabbed much of the airborn spirits that were left like the mechanical crackos and the other flying subspace enemies. Blazermate couldn't really join in the lootfest herself, as she was busy healing those who were injured most notably Geralt, who took quiet a beating in this fight. Blazermate had very, very little interaction with the man, the rest of the group having met him during their travels in the Land of Adventure. [color=0072bc]"Coming! Don't bleed out now!~"[/color] Blazermate said, with a bit of teasing in her voice as the immediate danger seemed to be gone, putting her healing beam on the man. The others who weren't as badly injured either came to blazermate herself, or healed around the Dispenser, some also getting ammo from the building.

Looking over all the spirit Sectonia had gotten, mostly Spaaks and Twolons with a few primids mixed in. She had seen the ability to summon a literal army that the 'king' had under his command. However much like these creatures, they looked numerous, but weak. Such things, lacking both beauty and power, wouldn't stand in her army. Finding very little use for them, she crushed them all to see what she would get from their remains.

The party marched up and through the valley, Blazermate gaining Medaforce as she went by healing everyone's wounds, riding on the shoulder of her new largest zombie, her little zombies following behind obediently. Sectonia looked at the medabot both impressed, and disgusted. She was impressed that this medabot knew how to act like a queen, but being the queen of such hideous creatures... Eventually the makeshift party found its way into the next area, an area that Banjo and Kazooie recognized, Spiral Mountain. According to them, this was their home which surprised Sectonia. Blazermate thought the place looked nice, but Sectonia was a bit off put by the fact that something out of a storybook seemed to be the home of that strange duo. It still lacked the elegance of Floralia, and that awful lair with the ugly head was really ruining this place, but still, it wasn't half bad.

As the group entered the area, the right hand of Galeem, Master Hand, appeared and issued everyone a challenge. With a snap of his fingers, 6 new fighters appeared atop a large stone tower. 4 with rifles, 1 with a bow, and a giant statue with a crossbow. Summoning them, Master Hand told everyone the 'rules' of this 'challenge'. These people in the tower could instantly one shot people with their dark blasts, making Blazermate's healing useless. 

Seeing as these were all snipers, most everyone got to cover. Sectonia had a bit of a difficult time finding cover due to her size and flight capabilities, ending up having to blink towards the upper mountains to find a spot to hide and being away from the main group. Blazermate meanwhile could duck behind the rock that most of the others were hiding behind. Thankfully she wasn't the one getting shot at this time, instead one of the others who was moving with the group stood and got shot, with the other shots blasting apart surrounding everything. The person who got blasted, Eudin, got turned into a trophy. 

Bowser commented on everything, being very familiar with everything here. Sectonia wasn't in earshot, but Blazermate was as Bowser commented on how the last time he had dealt with something like this, the guns were bigger, and even if people get transformed into trophies they could be revived by touching their bases. Still, it made her healing beam all but useless here, as no one would be taking damage. Linkle was also concerned with one of the snipers up there, the boy with the bow. Fox and Bowser recognized him too, but they weren't as concerned as her. 

Blazermate watched as the others who were more melee focused did what they could to get closer. Bowser showing a... Rather weird new ability that turned him into a giant cat version of himself. Blazermate knew there were cat medabots, but cat bowsers? That was rediculous! Thankfully for Bowser, Sectonia was too busy enacting her own plans to pay any attention to him and his Meowser transformation. The others made their own attemps to get closer as well, although Blazermate, a flyer herself, didn't think flying and having no cover against guns waw the best idea. She knew sniper medabots that could easily shoot flying medabots out of the air, and if this was anything like that...

Still, looking at everyone move, and thinking about the rules of this challenge, Blazermate looked at her healing arm with a disappointed look on her face. [color=0072bc]"Man, I feel kind of useless..."[/color] Blazermate said, still behind the cover she used to watch some of the others advance. Mulling over this challenge in her head, her eyes then snapped to her suffering arm. [color=0072bc]"Well, if healing wont work..."[/color] Blazermate said, a thought going through her head. [color=0072bc]"Maybe I should just take one of them out. No one here has seen me use that before."[/color]

Much like Blazermate, Sectonia also saw what happened with these snipers and the weapons the used. A weapon that could instantly take down any enemy in one hit? She could make great use of a power like that, but such a power would be dangerous to deal with head on. Using the mountains as cover and the others as distractions, she stayed out of the line of sight of the snipers, blinking accross gaps that would give them sight of her, as she snuck up to get into range to slice them all up. It would take her some time, but using the mountain valleys and Grunty's Lair as cover, she could get close enough to blink the sniper nest to really cause some havoc.

Blazermate, enacting her idea, commanded her zombies to move forward and advance. She hoped that the others would use them as cover, as the weren't really used for anything but as distractions for the snipers to shoot at. She moved around as well, finding a different rock to hide behind while she got her bearings. Pulling the medaforce she had built up in her medal, Blazermate, when she figured the coast was clear due to the distractions, moved out of her cover, took aim using both of her arms at the one in the poofy coat, and fired her Medaforce Beam at the sniper nest. After a short period of charging and glowing, a massive beam fired out of both of her hands, forming one large laser that moved at blistering speeds, much faster than anything the snipers were shooting. This did use up all of her Medaforce though, meaning that she would have to recharge after this challenge was done.
