Roll 73[6]
Amatin's eyes glowed a bright orange as he thrust his head forward, forcing energy into the air around Soldier #1. The explosion started in front of Amatin, then spread forward as it erupted into a plume of flame around the soldier, which extended upward into the ceiling of the vacuum bubble, then spread out, creating a gigantic mushroom cloud and a canopy of smoke afterward that blocked out the sun.
I've got to learn to control that...The scorched soldier elicited a stare from the others, distracting especially the ones with the machine guns, allowing the dragon to take advantage of their split attentions and exhume some of its explosive gas around the soldiers.
The three able soldiers smartly attached their weapons to their backpacks and drew vibroblades. The disabled one struggled to his feet and drew a backup pistol.
Photon LMG volley postponed.Meanwhile, Amatin climbed up on top of Zakroff's drone and fiddled with the controls. He noticed that
none of the levers and buttons were labelled."Zakroff!" he bellowed.
His PDA vibrated.
Upper switch, second one from the left, then press the green button.
Amatin looked at Zakroff from atop the drone. Zakroff nodded.
Drone engaged.[3]
Zakroff held the pipe in his hands, closing his eyes, engaging his powers. He slowly attempted to fuse the pipe to his leg to provide a decent amount of stability. However, the pipe's simple shape and lack of complex structures prevented him from creating a joint. All he managed to do was attach a single long stake through his femur and holding his lower leg in place.

Milia grabbed her crossbow, made sure it was loaded, then looked out from behind cover. She [6+3] fired a wolfram bolt at the photon gunners. The bolt flew through the air, punched through the arm of one of the gunners, then bounced off of a circular pipe. Milia started reloading, but then realized that the arrow still had potential, so she attempted to regain control of the arrow. Before she regained control, it flew through one's chest, causing some bleeding. She then guided it into a piece of machinery, causing it to rebound, piercing a third enemy and spilling his guts! The bolt finally returned into Milia's hand.
The 3 CQC soldiers not fighting the dragon moved in closer to their edge of the gap. Milia is now in range of repeater fire!
Varron stood up and looked for a target. He wanted to use the fission balls as thermal grenades. He brought one over his open hand, drew his arm back, then feigned throwing it into the distance, toward the CQC soldiers approaching Milia and Zakroff's position. He spotted the repeater soldiers taking aim, and lobbed one ball at him. Suddenly, a massive trail of flames appeared behind the ball as it flew. [5] [1] The ball hit one of the soldiers but missed the other, dealing
50 true damage. All 3 CQC soldiers were caught in the flames, dealing additional damage.
When observing the trail, Varron noticed that the additional flames were present in the exact spatial location where he had formed his gravity rifts. Perhaps this had something to do with the fission balls.

Kayle moved to the side, continuing to provide suppressive fire while allowing Jaffar to aim one last shot to finish the monster. [1+2] She tripped over a stray root sticking out of the ground, but the cannon's tracking made up for the lack of aiming. Suddenly, she felt the blood rush out of her head, and noticed that her vision had blurred. Kayle stopped firing and held on to the SmartCannon as she determined where she was heading, and slammed into a tree as soon as she noticed the modified stem stem coiled around her suit's leg. Instinctively, she grabbed onto the trunk and held on as she regained her senses and determined how far she got pulled.
[6] She
heard the Valaross stamping around and roaring, but her suit obstructed her hearing, so she couldn't find the direction of the noise. Being near the upper part of the tree, she scanned the canopy for rustling. She knew that they had fought in a clearing, so the wind would probably shake the trees at the end moreso than the trees within the woods. She detected rustling, and saw Jaffar in the distance, looking straight at her. She determined that whatever had just happened, she had been launched at least a hundred meters if not more.
Ouch...Jaffar's stood, mouth open, staring into the distance. Kayle just got pulled by one of the carnivorous plants. He wanted to go help her, but he knew he also had to finish the monster off.
"Aduin!" he shouted, trying to make himself heard over the Valaross' growling.
"What!?" acknowledged Aduin.
"Catch!"Jaffar flung his plasma jet rifle at
Aduin, who, at the sight of the heavy spinning object flying toward him, attempted to jump off the Valaross. He then reconsidered, seeing that removing his feet from the nooks in the creature's shell would mean he would be promptly removed by the beast's thrashing. He caught the weapon and pointed it into the monster, pulling the trigger immediately. But the gun didn't fire.

Winfield paused as he trodded through the muck and brush in order to come to a realization.
I am a fool.He started running.
No, I'm not, this is perfect. I'm sure I could trust Caplus.He slowed to a walking pace.
But the admiral! He's...He sped up slightly.
That's the plan......
Caplus backed off, confused, not knowing what to do. Admiral Scott told him to protect the Ross admiral... but the Ross admiral was now doing the fighting. Winfield would be back soon, and he would see what had happened. How could the grand admiral of the Centauri navy make such a key mistake? Caplus wondered to himself.
Curious as to what would happen next, Caplus moved away and retreated behind a bush. He deactivated his shield and sank into the mud. If his shield was on, the leaves would bounce off the shield and become a nuisance.
