Although feeling like crap, she'd been expecting him to stop soon. Being placed down on the pillar, she watched a little a little helplessly as he fell over himself. She had decided a while ago that she'd try and heal Roland first, the appreciation for all his efforts and condolences more than enough to fuel the spell.

Using the pillar to keep her propped up for the moment, she lifted her hand up slightly, the healing spell starting to form. It looked like the one she'd used on Tavish. She raised her hands to her ears, holding them there just long enough for the vertigo feeling to dissipate for the time being, although her hearing still wasn't restored at all. Now that she was able to get up without flopping on the ground, she quickly started to work on Roland.

She moved her hands over various parts of his body like his head, torso and checking his legs as she tried to see how his ears were doing and what was causing him to limp on the way here. The process would feel something like if you were lying out with the sun warming them softly, or some other likewise pleasing feeling. It wouldn't make Roland able to jump up like it was the prime of his youth, but at least he wouldn't be feeling quite so exhausted and pained but still not in much of a good condition to go out to fight again.

Once she was done, she slowly pushed him so he was lying in a more comfortable position before slowly returning to the pillar herself to wait for her to gain the resolve to produce another heal for herself. "[small]Thank.... you.... Roland.[/small]" She mumbled, seeming to be out of breath after using the spell.

"[color=01A9DB]Susan?[/color]" Roland asked as he tried to sit up. His hearing had come back a little bit on it's own, at least to the point where he could make out what people were saying."[color=01A9DB]No... you are Sophia. I didn't let you fall.[/color]"

Having only healed herself enough that she wasn't falling over herself, her hearing was still in poor shape, just taking a breather before she tried to heal herself. "I-I still can't hear you, but-" She started to say as she took in another deep breath. "That was really selfless of you... You were really injured- and you carried me all that way." She continued. "You- are okay, right?" She asked, raising her hand a little giving a thumbs up, and motioned as she was unsure if he understood this gesture.

Roland didn't understand the thumbs up, so he instead replied by making a circle with his index finger and thumb, wondering if Sophia would understand his gesture.

Instead of waiting for a reply, or responding to Sophia's compliments, Roland forced himself to his feet and stood on the fallen pillar, trying to look at the battle going on back at the refinery.

Sophia would understand the gesture, smiling weakly. "Alright, that's good then." She answered back. "Just for next time... the thing I did, sticking my thumb up like that. That basically means the same thing as what you did there." Sophia replied.

Watching Roland slowly get up, she glanced up as she followed where he went. The vertigo kicked in for a moment, but thankfully the way she was propped up, her head didn't move just much. "What are you looking at? That's the way we came right?"

"[color=01A9DB]The battle.[/color]" Roland answered calmly, pointing to the refinery in case Sophia still couldn't hear. "[color=01A9DB]Mistral is running. We are winning.[/color]"

Sophia followed Roland's pointing finger back to the refinery. "Oh the others... ya." She stated, sounding a bit saddened. "I hope they're all alright." Obviously not hearing the part about them winning, only knowing that the group was still there.

'At least I'm away from all those explosives...' She thought to herself.

Engineer nodded, as he continued working on the bot.
"Ya'll can use the medical supplies in the dispenser, you know. Or did that explosion blow your ears out?" he asked.
"What's going on in there, anyway?"

June 6th, Narok, Kenya - 15:23 PM

After over twelve hours and thirty minutes of flying, the bug returned to Kenya, fairly weary of the long flight while carrying a fair amount of baggage. Circling overhead, the bug looked down on the city below, looking for a good spot to start distributing the biohazzardous material it stole. Spotting a potential place, the bug descended, landing on the rooftop of a building where the streets between it and the bug's destination were the least busy,

Climbing down from the wall and touching down on the ground, the bug walked to a farm where mainly cows were held, masking its scent to match sand on the way. Jumping over the fence and into the cow enclosure, spooking the animals. Not wanting people to get alarmed over the fuss the cows would make, the bug assumed a passive stance and stood still for a moment, alowing the cows to calm down, while thinking how its scent masking ability hadn't done it much good lately. The bug didn't change it back, however, figuring the sudden change in scent would spook the cows again.

Once the cows had calmed down, the bug approached their watering cratch. There, it put down its bag, opened it, and retrieved the bag of phials. Retrieving a phial, the bug removed the lid, and dumped a bit of the contaminated blood into the water. It didn't dump too much in it, figuring the cows wouldn't drink the water and subsequently be turned into disease carriers if they could taste the blood, or alternatively, that they would get sick of ingesting human blood, leading to them not being slaughtered and eaten. The bug wasn't sure if the small amount of blood would lead to the effects it desired, however. Time would tell.

Putting the lid back onto the phial and storing it away, the bug moved on to a nearby butchery, sneaking inside through a back window and sprinkling some of the meat with the blood. When done at the butchery, the bug left, and made its way out of the city, where it dug a tunnel and crawled inside to rest after a busy day.

Joel removed the broken Gekko from his body and continued chasing after Mistral. [color=003399]"Can you just stop and let us fucking kill you, please!? I know you're all a bunch of cowards, but this is fucking ridiculous!"[/color] he yelled.

Mistral used her staff to support herself, digging it into the ground to keep herself standing and pushing off it for a burst of speed. A few Gekko ran alongside Mistral and she ripped off their arms, reforming her polearm and leaving the spherical robots behind with their self destructs activated like land mines.

Samus jumped on top of another tanker, using the Screw Attack to shear through a catwalk in the path of her jump. The catwalk fell in such a way that someone on the ground could use it to climb up to the tankers and vice versa. Samus stuck to the high ground for now.

From behind the group was another, smaller explosion. It seemed the destruction caused by the oil tanker Mistral detonated was starting to make a chain reaction.

EMily in Photon form was an adept at speed. While she could jump at the speed of light to cut off Mistral, it would be unpredictable in a fast paced fight like this. Plus she wouldn't have any additional energy for an attack. She went for the next best thing and used her sense of QED (quantum electrodynamics) to enhance the efficiency of her plasma jets to boost her forward towards Mistral.

Gwen thought it would be too much effort to try and slow down Mistral at this point. The best thing to do was to accelerate herself forward along a uniform gravity field towards her.

Remembering what happened last time Mistral threw the armless robots around, Vicky took a wide path around where they were thrown when she noticed them. She pushed herself to run and climb faster to make up for the ground she would lose doing so.

Roland continued to watch the chase, making sure that everyone was still accounted for. After seeing that nobody was seriously hurt yet, he gave a thumbs up to Sophia to let her know that everyone was alright for the moment.

It took a little while for Roland to even figure out what the dispenser was, but he assumed it was the same device that he had taken ammunition from previously. He walked over to it and motioned for Sophia to follow. As the dispenser's healing beams fixed any remaining injuries that Roland had, he turned to face the engineer. "[color=01A9DB]Thankee, sai.[/color]" Roland said, before turning back to the machine so he could grab more ammunition.

Joel followed Vicky's lead and ran around the Gekkos to avoid the blasts. However, he didn't speed up to make up for the lost time, meaning he started to fall behind slightly.

Samus fired a few shots at Mistral, forcing her to duck and weave, slowing her down as well. Samus jumped down the ground level with the others.

Mistral took an SMG off one of her Gekkos, holding it in one of her spare arms and spraying it behind her as she ran, not aiming accurately but hoping to hit something.

Vicky took cover from the machine gun fire by hanging onto a ledge of one of the towers. She got up and started chasing again after realizing that the fire was so inaccurate it wasn't going to hit her anyway.

Joel dropped to the ground when Mistral began firing in his general direction. As he got back up, he spotted Vicky leaving. After briefly considering following suit, he decided against it. [color=003399]"For someone who claims to be a killer, you're doing a piss-poor job of even hurting me!"[/color] Joel yelled as he ran after Mistral.

Mistral turned a corner... And stopped abruptly, throwing up sparks. It was a dead end, a small clearing in a forest of tanks, pipes and catwalks. She turned to face the group as they ran round the corner to meet her. "Fine! You want to die so badly? Let me oblige! " She jumped towards the group, quick as lightning, spinning like a buzz saw with her staff and barrelling right into Joel's chest.

The flames were beginning to spread towards the group slowly...

Don't really need to group now, so everyone go ahead.

Some of the bullets hit EMily's center of mass, but the additional constitution from her Photon Form allowed her to get over the pain in less than seconds. When she got to Mistral attacking Joel, She went to about 5 meters away from Mistral's side and fired, from one hand, a solar laser and swept it across Mistral's body.

Gwen activated Graviton Form while in mid-flight, accelerating her even further to the speed of a car on a freeway.
