Digigirl let out a curse. "Next time you won't be shielded, Birdy."

"Thanks for the save," said Brianna, grinning. "Now you are going to get an earfull -- and I mean, an earful -- if you don't tell me where you've been."
Raptor didn't smile, but he didn't frown either. "How about later, alright? I have something for you." He handed Brianna a new weapon. It was a small crossbow that attached to her wrist. "Something light enough for you?"
Brianna began loading the weapon. The quick rate surprised Euro. Brianna heard Velo's voice buzzing in her headset. "Brianna we're taking D'Goon to the underground caves."
"I don't 'do' underground caves," said Brianna. Caves were, by nature, dark, cool, damp, and small -- four things that made it almost impossible for her to fight in.
"Oh...yeah..." said Velo. Well, be a dear and help Chance then. You should be able to provide cover for him from any attacks. Is that Raptor I see up there with you? He can go with you and Chance. Now, clear the field!"
Brianna looked up at Raptor. "Well, do we join up with the boys or not?"
Raptor took a small bow. "Ladies first."
Velo, Priest, Phil, and Ozzy were making a mad dash towards the War Room. Banshee and Raptor flew over them. Adem Different was providing their cover, and so the two winged metas were not needed. Chance was being attacked from all angles. Brianna sent a nausiating wave of sound towards her foes. Soliders threw up in their helmets. Machinery was depowered as circuits snapped. Raptor took care of the remaining opponents with his mace. They made it to the palace.
