"I heard ya, Lieutenant Commander!" spoke Marina Czevak as she barreled towards the Husks, her love for the Planet Earth giving her a constant Perfect Defense as long as she was directly protecting said planet. Her Essence-Mech construct tore through scores of enemies with every swipe and strike, its golden sword wielded with the skill of a bludgeon, but still deadly due to the rage of the person using it.<br/><br/>"DEATH, RAGE, DEATH! DEATH TO THOSE WHO WOULD THREATHEN THE EARTH!" the Engineer spoke in the midst of her Limit, her built-up emotions running loose. She cared little for protecting herself now, merely protecting others. As the Husks gathered to swarm her with more overwhelming numbers, Marina used Epic Incinerate and Epic Cryo Blast again, following that up by dispelling her now-tired Elementals, and summoning four new ones.<br/><br/>Then, after that, she used Epic<span style="font-style: italic">Inceneration Blast</span>, covering the area in an inferno of flames, followed up by Epic Full Cryo Blast, which turned the place into an Arctic Wasteland. Again, more useful than their sorecrous equivalents, due to being easier to use. Not merely that, but Marina used Wyld Caldruon Technology to create a soulless, non-sapient brigade of mechanical spiders, armed with more flamethrowers and cryo blasters, and designed according to her specifications, which meant that as expendable, but strong Anti-Personnel Weapons, they fit the bill. These mechanical spiders swarmed the Husks with their own medicine, following that up with fire, ice, and their own strong legs, battling them with a literally mindless ferocity that reflected Marina's feelings. At the same time, however, she kept healing whatever Systems Alliance troops were wounded.<br/><br/>After that, of course, came Esone's continued rampage against the Reapers...and the coming of several Abyssals; more kindling for her rage. When Raiton threw a Crypt Bolt at Marina, the latter swatted it away in rage, before countering with an Epic Neural Shock at her opponent, who was stunned momentarily, before being assailed by more of Marina's mechanical spiders...which were then shaken off by a blast of pure force as Raiton used<span style="font-style: italic">Biotics</span>instead of Magic.<br/><br/>"'Didn't expect that, did you?" spoke the Daybreak Caste as she shifted back to Necromancy, using an area-of-effect spell to engulf Marina and her Essence-Mech in deadly energy, testing the limits of her Perfect Defenses. But, well, a defense granted by defending the Planet Earth (or more specifically, its population), was hard to deal with, even for an Abyssal. Marina roared to crush Raiton, but the Abyssal was surprisingly nimble for a spellcaster.<br/><br/>Then, things got worse as the Abyssal activated her<span style="font-style: italic">own</span>Perfect Defense; apparently, she favored Valor. Now the two were hurling spells, weapons, biotic abilities and tech talents at each other, not harming each other...Impasse.
