Snippet #1558341

Blink. Well, that was unexpected.

Still cradling his nose, Taser stared at the wreckage in front of him. A second building had fallen down right in front of him. If it weren't for that drainpipe, he would have been right under. Cries came from the other side. 'Interesting. They're trapped..' A plan formed in Taser's head. Maybe, just maybe, he could win this now, but it would require the greatest misdirection.

He ran back over to Zaine, still looking weak from the transfer. "Yeah, that didn't work so well," he said, indicating his pipe mark. "Look, they're trapped between those buildings. You stay here and recover. I'll go in, pretend to help them, offer your services if they are hurt... You know, Trojan horse strategy. Sound good?" Rhetoric question; he didn't give him time to answer. "Ok then!" He left Zaine as quick as he had arrived, dashing over to the rubble. He located an intact piece of wall.

'Alright. Charge...charge...charge...UNLEASH!' he counted in his mind as a volley of bolts impacted the wall. After a few strikes, a sufficient hole had been blasted into it. He stepped over and instantaneously noticed the dust content. One short wheezing session later, he peered through. Or at least he tried. Rubble blocked a line of sight, and dust obscured the rest. Pretty difficult to get back to Zaine, unless... he charged a finger and etched a line into the floor as he walked along, giving him a path to follow.

"Rei, if you can hear me, burn a hole in the top! Big enough to lift everyone through!" Voices! Taser shuffled towards them, coming across another intact wall. How did he hear them through that? Or the wind? Didn't matter really, and he just blasted away this wall too.

"Nikolas! Help me get them—” Working together, eh? Useful, he would be less suspicious. As he moved through the wall, the howling wind disappeared, making the next line easier to hear. “I’m gonna lift them up, you help, okay? Splice, c’mon,I’ll help you up first, alright? Ready?” He walked into sight of the Fangs, and noticed their injuries. Wow, they were worse than he expected. Perhaps he wouldn't need to misdirect them for long...

The Thorn spoke as he neared them. "Hurry, you guys need to get up here quickly." Taser walked up to them slowly. If this was to work, they couldn't attack on sight. He decided to stop a short distance from them, and held his hands in the air. "Not a good day is it? Willing to accept my help?"
