He holds the palm of his hand near her face and fires off a void beam. The golden roots along his arms pierced the skin of his shoulder, worming their way into his chest. They acted as a sort of endoskeleton to prevent further damage to his arms. Aria nonchalantly grins as the void beam is fired, the reason becoming clear as Mia's helmet comes into focus in the space between the HI's hand and Aria's helmet. The swirling bands of white ate up the HI's void beam hungrily. Aria quickly extends her void claws, her Galatine joining her Soma dangling in the air by her riplines. "That's the second time, right~?" Aria drives her claws through the HI's wrist, joined by her assault rifle and Mia's released absorb aimed straight at the HI's face. The hand wouldn't be severed, but it would be injured well enough for Aria to escape from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hand wouldn't be severed, but it would be injured well enough for Aria to escape from. The High Inquisitor teleported away, his once pristine robes now soaked in blood. His breaths came in ragged gasps, and beads of sweat ran down his brow. But his eyes didn't contain a hint of fear. With a final burst of strength, he clenched his hands into fists, and created massive columns of void fire where Svytoj, Aria, and Mia were located. The flames greedily consumed anything they touched, leaving nothing but a faint outline of ash. His energy spent, the High Inquisitor slumped to his knees, panting.

Unfortunately, the Corpus were prepared now, and had rallied a considerable number of soldiers to the front. Even with the proxies on the rebels side, the number of soldiers on each side were about even. Though they sustained heavy losses, the rebels managed to take the second ring. With the bulk of the Corpus forces dead, captured, or routed, the fighting was all but over. Sergei ordered the remaining troops to halt before entering the first ring. It was better to let the Corpus heads escape than risk damaging the core. Half the city was in ruins, and the corpses of rebels greatly outnumbered the Corpus bodies, but they had won. The city was theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A line of white tears outwards from the column, and from the inferno flies out Mia on Aria's shoulders. In Aria's right hand was the charred remains of a reborn, it's carcass slowly disintegrating as the Valkyr absorbed it's physical material to speed up her regeneration. (I'm of the belief that it's sorta like ultralisks and the tissue assimilation mutation). The pair were burned heavily, but they were still mobile. With unerring aim, Mia raises her rifle and fires two psychic bolt charged rounds straight at the HI's knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
