Technic's Shadow

[ yes, good. Now that it's on a knee, Rook half runs toward the shadow and half around it, trying to dodge its arms as best as he can but it's not the priority here, so he'll carry on whether or not anything singes or smacks. Running like that will leave him close to the shadow itself when he gets behind it and aims at that area of its neck.

He's close so he not only makes sure he hits it while it's open, but so it hits it hard and close and hopefully this will work like the arm. ]

[ They've got this sorted. Hopefully. Garnet's just going to keep guard of the noob, cradling her arm. ]

1/2

[overlording]

[The blow aimed for Otacon and Garnet misses by a mile. They are both safe.

Shuu's shield sails cleanly into the shadow's head, knocking it back and sending a pained roar in his direction. With its attention drawn, Belt's tackle is enough to topple its balance. With no hands to catch itself, the only thing it can do is extend its whips wildly, over walls and floors and furnace alike, in an attempt to ward off anyone else and keep itself from becoming prone.

Rook is safe.
Garnet is safe.
Otacon is safe. He may pee a little out of stress.
Belt is safe.
Shuu is safe.
Technic's unconscious body gets an arm of energy straight through the middle of his thigh.

The shadow's efforts are in vain, because in its state, it can't shake Rook away. The shot clears its neck, its head blowing off with a wailing scream and an enormous cloud of smoke.]

2/2

[overlording]

[The metal falls to pieces, clattering against the floor. What was once energy was now a sooted and charred shadow of Technic, smoke rising from his body.

He doesn't move. Only watches.]

[unguilded]

... Hey.

[overlording]

[The Shadow glances at him in response, but doesn't speak. His eyes quickly return to Technic's collapsed body.]

[unguilded]

He'll be okay. We protected him.

[menially]

[Meanwhile: guess who is showing signs of life again.]

[unguilded]

--Technic!!

[ rushing over to drop down next to him. ]

[menially]

[He hears the voice and tries to move





aaaaand makes a really choked yelp when his leg screams in protest.]


Ghhhhh -- wh...what the h-hell...

[morbirdinterest]

[singed, ruffled, out of breath]

Ah--I see you've rejoined us.

[menially]

Not... sure whether it's good to be back yet.

[GRIMACING AT HIS LEG he'll just.... attempt not to move it.]

...What happened to all of you?

[codecmoment]

[ Crawls over to and places a hand on Technic's hand.

... that's all. Just that. ]

[menially]

[What why are we touching hands

Oh wait, yeah, that's right.

He only grimaces in return.]

[unguilded]

Are you okay?

[goodbyenurse]

...Technic.

[I AM BATTERED AND BRUISED AND LOVING THIS SHIT.]

It was a good fight. But please do not lie again.

[menially]

[It takes him five seconds to process that with her smiling and pleased about this when everyone else is about half-dead.

When it does click, his expression softens.]

Think what you want, Belt. But I didn't lie.

[unguilded]

Are you okay?

[morbirdinterest]

[managing to land without plowing into the floor, but yeah, his wing is definitely not happy after the shit he put it through, and he looks generally out of breath and singed and ruffled. but hey, he's okay!

also, watching the shadow back.]

[unguilded]

Are you okay?

[onebullet]

[ Drops the fork and just watches him back, still cradling her burnt arm. ]

[codecmoment]

Hey. Thanks.

[unguilded]

Garnet! Are you okay?

[overlording]

[The shadow will only spare her a glance before turning its attention back to Technic. It looks worn and bitter.]

[morbirdinterest]

Thank you for your help today.
