Jarno's speed managed to save him from many of the hits, the staff crossing his forearms more often then not, but the cartwheeling strike to the back of his head sent him tripping face first into the pavement. From his new vantage point, he saw the two Rangers fighting by the van, and the red beams strike the N-Creep perched on it.<br/><br/>The gun fire blasted through one of it's 6 skinny shoulders and across one leg, causing it to screech and leap out of the way, attaching to a wall on the other side of the road, a 30 foot leap. The laser wounds were hissing and spitting a green liquid, much like oil in a fired up deep frier, the wall beneath it corroding from the acid. It aimed it's three quills and fired three globs of it's synthetic blood, which burned once it contacted air and streaked towards the road, splashing across several of the N-Bots that Green and Black were fighting, which dissolved and swung wildly.<br/><br/>It leaped out of sight in the same few heart beats it had taken for it to dodge and fire, and it was lost for now.<br/><br/>Jarno, laying on his front, kicked back, launching a tyre at Ariana, then rolled and sprinted, closing the distance and grabbing her gun, pushing it down away from it, which vaporized a chunk of pavement as it discharged. He slammed the handle into her gut, hard enough to send her off her feet a second, and despite the suit, those broken ribs would feel it. He yanked it back and jabbed it under her chin, sending her staggering backwards. He tossed the gun aside and stepped forward, his hand slamming into her throat, lifting her up like she weighed no more then packing foam.<br/><br/>"Even if I fail, I'll make sure you suffer for it..." And then, he stabbed her in the stomach with something... suddenly, her visor flashed orange, lines of crackling orange streaking over her. He smirked cruelly, waiting for the N-Gauge to circulate, and then, he slammed her down by her throat, shattering the road.<br/><br/>"N-Bots! Go!" He turned and threw a small metal sphere that broke on the pavement, orange light flashing and summoning a group of 20. He turned and leaped off of the street, retreating. The N-Bots, ignoring the writhing Red Ranger, charged towards Green and Black.
