However, there was no need for them to wait any longer. Smashing down the walls ahead of them, the vile beast presented itself to the warriors by the time their communication was over. Waiting no further, the beast jumped onto the small group of scouts. The warriors fired their plasma-bolts in return. Yet, this alone could not successfully fend off their ferocious adversary. Upon reaching them, it swung both of its clawed hands at the enemy. The tech-maiden then barely got herself out of its reach, with an aid of her augmented reflexes. Gael ran to the position of her sister-in-arms. Without hesitation, she struck the monster with her tech-axe. It somehow blocked the attack, though letting the blow land on its left forearm. Gael soon withdrew a little, making some distance from it.
