A - Henshin! - CycloneMetal When the walls began to shake and shudder again, his stomach sank. Not again. He was already exhausted. He'd dealt with some marathon fights before, but this was a little absurd. Still, he smirked a little to himself. Things were looking up for the first time in days and all they had to do was hold out a little longer. Surely the Enterprise knew what was going on by now.
Without seeking cover, like the Rangers, he pulled his belt out again. "Round two, Philip," he told his partner. This time, he went straight for Metal, since that was the most effective. This was tedious and exhausting, since most Memory Breaks were just absorbed by the crystals. A creature that better withstood a finisher like that than normal attacks was unheard of for him. Well, there was a first time for everything.
The silver Memory joined the materializing green and in another swirl of dust and debris and crackle of green and silver energy, there stood Double in Shotaro's place. "Now, count up your sins," he said, pointing at the nearest of the creatures, the quadruped. He reached behind him for the staff off his back, and leapt in swinging.
B - Giving backup - LunaMetal Not only was Shotaro busy knocking crystals off of the creatures, but he was also keeping an eye on his fellow fighters, such that he could. They were all in this together, and a part of getting everyone back to the ship meant no one should get overwhelmed. Luna and Metal gave enough flexibility to hit get out before reprisals came. For the most part, anyway.
Spotting someone in dire need of help against that scorpion's tail, he swung the staff in their direction. The yellow end of it extended like a whip and wrapped around the end of the crystals. He gave it a sturdy yank. Even if it was still too strong to stop the movement entirely, it was just enough. "You okay over there?" he called over.
C - In over his head - HeatJoker It was time to take the fight to the giant in the middle. "It's your turn," Shotaro said, crouching briefly before he launched himself high in the air. He kicked up off the figure's shoulder as he switched Joker from the belt to the Maximum Drive slot on his side.
"Joker Grenade!" Shotaro and Philip called out together. Double split in half right down the middle, each half pummeling the chest and head of the giant with explosive kicks.
But they didn't get to finish. A massive hand swung up and swatted them out of the air. Double crashed against the wall of the cave. On impact the bright colors of Double faded to grey and dematerialized around Shotaro. Fortunately, the angle of the swat did not leave him tumbling too far. Even so, he tried to roll to keep from injuring himself on the stones too much.
Finally, he came to a stop at the bottom of the wall, panting and flinching. Okay, that hurt. That thing in the middle was not to be underestimated. He reached for his fallen hat before starting to get back on his feet again. "We're not finished yet..." he muttered, both to himself and to Philip. Try as someone else might to convince him to sit the rest of it out, he wasn't going to hear it.
Pick a card, any card! - OTA!
