"[color=00aeef]tHeRe WeRe SuReLy OtHeR tHrEaTs ThAn ThEsE tHrEe NeArEsT[/color]," stupid girl. Had to open her big mouth inside her own head. By the time she caught the glimpse in the sky she was already dead. Or would be, if the giant insect could aim. She decided that there was only room for one insect here, that being Kheper, and then realized that the thought she just had wasn't the greatest endorsement of her teammates. That was all that she had time to process before a large chunk of construction materials soared past her and into the core of the giant drone overhead. Crystal looked down and saw Selma, to no surprise, was the source of it. She gave a thumbs up that she doubted would be visible and turned back to the wasp overhead. She didn't know what it could do, but early prevention was usually a good way to handle battle. 

Crystal took advantage of Selma's attack, a wonderful distraction she hoped, to freeze the pouring rain into two twin spires of ice, one circling up to the "stinger," coiling around it while the other went to just above the drone's body. She'd practiced maneuvering using her Elementum quite a bit, so it was almost second nature to form steps under her as she jumped her way up the pillar, not dissimilarly to how she climbed the building in the first place. By the time she was halfway up, the drone had broken free its laser and moved away, readying another attack. But now they were in the air, and while it may have been better suited to flight than her, Crystal had the stem of a wonderful, soon to be blooming, flower that she was standing on. What a beautiful final sight for it. 

Crystal began freezing the rain on the drone, which in this downpour quickly built up weight and loss of temperature for the laser-wielding machine. Unfortunately, the laser in question was underneath the body, and was therefor not freezing as well as the rest of it. But this time she was ready, jumping aside while forming ice under her heels, and she managed to dodge the beam. She kept sliding across newly forming ice until the structural integrity of her sculpture could no longer hold her weight, at which point she jumped off towards the machine. With its internal temperature dropping severely and gaining a large coat of ice on its shell the machine was a fine target for Crystal's Gladius. Hiems was stabbed into the side of the hull, not quite piercing the metal until the freezing point of its tip made it buckle beneath it. Soon Crystal was holding herself up by her Gladius as the drone tried to maintain flight, with her flopping around as she hung on to its side. 

Soon, the insides of the drone would be totally frozen. And the insect that came to pollinate her flower of ice would explode into the shape of its petals.

... Maybe she [i]was[/i] trying to show off a little, after all.
