"Plug me in to the system," Jon's voice answered.

Blearily, she opened the bracelet and took it off her wrist. In their own time, it was computer screens that Jon could connect through. Here, that wouldn't work.

"Where the kriff do I plug you in?" Her vision was graying out. Unlike her predecessor, her powers had limits, and she had approached them. Stay focused, stay focused...

"Try the top of the second terminal," Jon invited.

She did, and knew it had worked when there was a solid thunk and the bracelet seemed to melt into the surface somewhat.

She turned too look at the others. They were holding their own. Gar had turned into a velociraptor or some similar scaled down dinosaur type thing.

Hanging on to the terminal with both hands, she leand back and weakly said, "Dagon. Don't kill him, but stop holding back."

Dagon didn't bother to reply, but he grinned and ducked, sinking his fangs into a shoulder. Not a vital spot, but certainly able to hurt. He hissed in pain as the purple energy singed him, but held on. With fangs dug in, he started really using clubbing blows. Slowly but surely, the enemy went down.

Redwing took the cue and used her aerial agility to do a sort of backflip, kicking her opponent under the chin as she did so. That one went crashing into a wall.

I wish Mirage were here...we'd be able to turn the tide....God I wish I wasn't so burned out.....

But of course, Gar was only here because Miri wasn't. Their own resident shapeshifter was still abed with a very late term pregnancy, thanks to that scum Deathwing. And it must be said, Gar's shapeshifting abilities were more combat oriented than Miri's were.

The Changeling in question had shifted to a brutish ape form and was slamming the leader of the enemy faction against the wall, over and over. But he seemed to be the most powerful of the group, and was holding up well. That said, they were finally getting the upper hand. Terra wished fervently that she could join the battle, but if she did she would black out, and that would be it.

"Good news and bad news," said Jon.

She turned and looked back at the glowing orange terminal. "Good news first."

"We can extract the energy source."

"Bad news?"

"There will be a shockwave when we do, no matter how careful we are about it."

"Any way to minimize the shockwave?"

"Yeah, that's what I'm working on now."

"How long?"

"Another five minutes, maybe."

"Let's hope the bad guys don't have any more backup, then," she sighed. She tried to shake off the grogginess. Tried to wake up.

At that point Redwing and Dagon's opponents were down. But Killowat seemed especially vulnerable to this particular form of energy, and a strike from his opponent took him out. Changeling was still busy with his own opponent. Redwing and Dagon converged on the one that had felled Killowat as Terra desperately tried to summon a reserve of strength out of her fatigue....
The road to the abyss may be paved with good intentions, but it is those with bad intentions that race down that road as fast as they can.

Heee!

...

What? It works for him in the cartoon. Sometimes. But most of the time when it doesn't work, it's because the cartoon's writers like portraying him as a dumbass. :cry:

And it must be said, Gar's shapeshifting abilities were more combat oriented than Miri's were.


Well... yeah... I mean, having a guy who can turn into an enraged grizzly, or a lion or a charging rhino or even a T-Rex at the drop of a hat? That's a good guy to have around in a fight.

"Any way to minimize the shockwave?"

"Yeah, that's what I'm working on now."


No Raven, unfortunately. She could probably just teleport the thing away or surround it in some kind of energy field to contain the blast.
