<strong>The Harriers</strong><br/><br/><br/><em><strong>Kid King-</strong></em><br/><br/>That kick wasn't working out for him, and apparently neither was being within melee range of Creeping Shadow. Pulling his now burned leg free, Kid King staggered back and performed a desperate backwards barrel roll to put some distance between him and his opponent. Coming up, he flung his last flashbang at Creeping Shadow as a disorienting move. He was running out of tricks and was starting to hurt bad...however, as the flashbang detonated two feet in front of CreepShad, Harpy had clearly sensed her partner's distress, and had flown over to blast the shadowy youth with a belt from her sonic scream. Kid King would buy her lunch for that...<br/><br/><em><strong>Harpy-</strong></em><br/><br/>Swooping over the battlefield, Harpy was now at leisure to pick and choose her targets. She saw the angel guy and Harrier go down fighting, but she was done backing up her arrogant leader. There were others on her team that needed her help, and right now Kid King was top of the list. She couldn't tell what the shadow guy was doing to him but she knew it wasn't good. Aiming straight for him, she let go with another of her screams, trusting Harrier to be able to hold his own for just one minute. He sure talked the talk, at least...but then, there was a fizzle of electrical discharge from down below. Harpy swung her flight arc just in time to see Penta-boy get zapped by the girl in the black and yellow...who now seemed to be bleeding quite badly. As she watched her teammate sink out of the fight, she gave a loud shout of concern; "Penta-boy!"<br/><br/><em><br/><strong>Harrier-</strong></em><br/><br/>Everything hurt. Still, his super strength stopped most of the damage, apart from his ankle. He now hopped awkwardly to his feet, hearing Harpy's scream echo above in the sky above him...but alas this time Harpy wasn't backing him up. Harrier barely looked up in time before Seraph's fist filled his eyes. Making a satisfying ka-pow sound, Harrier was knocked back off his feet and sent back down on his back, his shoulders skidding across the ground for a few feet before coming to a stop. Grunting and getting back up, favouring his left foot, he adopted a boxing stance and squared his jaw at Seraph.<br/><br/>"Come on, angel. You got a good one in, now lets you and me settle this."<br/><br/><br/><em><strong>Penta-boy-</strong></em><br/><br/>Maybe if he'd layered<em>himself</em>with rubber instead of making a golem out of it...but alas. Too late for that now. His spines had done the trick, but it hadn't stopped the determined Voltaic from getting to him and administering a severe bolt of juice. In fact, it was one of the distended spines that Voltaic grabbed onto to zap him. Electricity flooded his body, his arcane charms temporarily overloaded, the last thing he saw was his opponent, bloodied and battered, but he blacked out nonetheless.<br/><br/><br/><em><strong>Dr Fields-</strong></em><br/><br/>Above, Dr Fields got a call through on his walkie talkie from the staff down below. "You're sure? Yes...yes of course." Lifting his pad and gesturing with a hand, the yellow energy walls surrounding the arena split and formed a new small box, around Voltaic. "Candidate Voltaic, you have sustained severe physical trauma and now cannot continue the training exercise. Well done for your contribution, and now let our medical staff attend your wounds. You may of course continue to watch the sparring match through the walls...I can't imagine it will last much longer now."<br/><br/>Two nurses phased through the barriers to Voltaic, wearing friendly smiles but nonetheless with rubber gloves on and hands full of bandages and swabs.
