"Negative, I will clear the area. Remain in a holding pattern."
The LT dips a nod as you take off the capelet gently, setting it aside as you move to one of the landing zones within the craft. Your wings extend freely as the platform begins to lower. A rictus smile twitches on your face as you condense your willpower into a clawed hand. The room heats up, and the Crusaders watch from above.
You do a quick flyover, too high for the las-fire to hit. One old Colossus and many abominations take shelter within the rubble. Even from how high up you are you can see old blood splattering the charred stones as they help themselves to the leftovers of SEED's explosion. The Colossus is in the center of the 'town', and the abominations are scattered about.
[11 vs 10][13]Shots ring up towards you, and the Colossus coils in on itself, its 'face's tentacles facing you. A shot of red lightning arcs out into the sky, but misses you by a mile. Taking the Void Slayer's suggestion, you lift your 'claw', aiming down it as you condense the more and more hydrogen into it. As it begins to test the strength of your willpower, you funnel it out through a field of energy. It scatters out as soon as it leaves your field of will.
The fireworks are pretty, though. Maybe something to contain it would assist in delivering the payload.
I've got some issues I need to work out. What's the strategy?
