The Blue Crow's wall was unnecessary, insofar as pushing Nero back was concerned, since Nero had moved [i]himself[/i] back to basically regroup with the Matthews.  What they had here was kind of a 'thinky' problem, and those two were a bit more thinky, strategically.  Like...Nero had good ideas on how to attack stuff, but when you're dealing with a giant jello mold, ya start to think that maybe 'What if I cut it [i]this way?[/i]' might not be the question to ask.  It seemed to him that Sam shoving an entire wall at the guy...or [i]guys[/i]...might've been a good answer.  On the other hand, it may've been the only thing he COULD do right now, because the lights were out, and the one who benefitted from the dark at [i]any[/i] given time was himself.

[color=00a651][i]Heh, may've done that a little wrong, getting the lights to go out.  Ah well.[/i][/color]

As Iris stated over comms just what it was she planned to do, Nero examined the situation briefly, realizing that he needed to think of something to keep that guy properly occupied.  Guy was probably conductive, so he'd probably electrify even if the so-called robots weren't robots.  Problem is, his two zappy daggers wouldn't be enough alone, plus there was the Crow's magic wall pushing at Samuel's now.  [i]That[/i] wouldn't do.  Nero decided to cast Shadow Charge on the stone wa-

His Shadow Step canceled, his spell blasted out as a [i]wave[/i], and he had visions of his time back in the lab where he was being integrated with bits of Kaisoken by Dr. Vallance, the man who did the procedure on him back during the war, saying [color=ed1c24][b]"I hope you remember our agreement, Mr. Kayakos.  I helped you.  You leave [i]me[/i] alone."[/b][/color], before switching on.  The wave of energy was an [i]enhanced[/i] Shadow Charge that [i]almost[/i] got out of Nero's control.  The earth wall was stronger and toucher, his armor - as well as Samuel and Iris' armor - was now in the same state.  He could area-cast, focused on allies!  And that wasn't [i]all[/i] he could do...  However, that would have to wait.  Sam could probably smack that magic wall back and Blue Crow against the wall to knock 'im senseless now, and Nero suggested he do so.

[color=00a651]"If we're leaving, you'd better knock some sense [i]out[/i] of him."[/color]
