[b][i]Ashton and Flame[/i][/b] Ashton and Flame got the alerts through text, and Ashton's first message to Flame and Navi through text was, [i]Do you think we should help, or should we continue on towards the cells?[/i] Flame messaged back, [i]We can trust Nero to keep the others safe. Samuel and Iris are no pushovers. That and I want to see the worst of the Ascendancy once more - I need to remind myself why I hate them.[/i] Then it occured to him. [i]Human Male? Is it -[/i] Ashton shook his head, [i]They'd call him [b]by name[/b] if it was. Maybe he's a loyalist?[/i] Loyalists were always a possibility, as they all knew. But something about the description seemed off, so the boy sent another text to Team Horus. [i]Team Horus, we need a description of the target, please..[/i] [b][i]Blue Crow (NPC)[/i][/b] The 'robots' fell apart first, the metallic shells falling apart and revealing globs of gelatinous material - The Tayanen which had been hired alongside him for this assignment. As the door was sealed behind them, Blue Crow thrust a magically blunted, invisible blade at Nero's foot, before drawing back to a literal corner, the Tayanen pooling under him as he faced Iris' Deconstructuon spell, which had frayed his Steelweave Longcoat to near-uselessness and was beginning to affect the armor underneath. The four Tayanen he had hired surged to [i]literally[/i] cover him, coating him in a living substance which would not be affected by Iris' Deconstruction. Then his arm moved on its own, channeling the power of his blade to slash sideways. The purpose of [i]that[/i] was not to cut the enemy - They were needed alive. Rather, it was so that his blade can project a wall of his own which would push against Samuel's own, while also pushing Nero back. The other mind inside him spoke.
