“Regent-” I started.
“Don’t distract me,” he said, rushing through the words, “I can barely dodge all this shit they’re throwing at me.”
Yeeah, they’ve got a lot of ranged firepower and it’s currently all focused on him and Genesis. That’s gotta be like a bullet hell.
I followed his line of sight to Shatterbird. Purity opened fire, and Shatterbird used a cone of glass to block the worst of the kinetic energy and refract the light. Or something.
Hard to tell how stuff works with super-light, huh?
It didn’t work that well. Shatterbird was knocked to the ground. She managed to take flight just in time to avoid Newter, trapped the boy in a cage of glass shards, and then flung a barrage of tiny glass shards at Purity and her group.
Don’t hurt Newter, please, if you don’t have to.
I could see the glints of the shards catching the light as it flew through the air.
Meanwhile, the actual Shatterbird is just shaking her head internally (since she doesn’t have control of it externally), nitpicking the details of how Regent is using her power. “If you’re going to take control of me, at least do things properly.” Elitist to the end.
