Hit with acid

Suddenly Phane let out a screech of pain. Even from far away, they could see as something seemed to eat away at his flesh. Pretty soon half of his body was exposed muscle. “Yay!” Bonesaw exclaimed, “the puppets are doing better than I expected!” Unfortunately, that statement seemed to catch Phane’s attention. He looked towards her and held out his right palm as green energy seemed to surround it. Then he made a scooping motion in her direction. The world between the two became green and distorted, and a pulse sound echoed throughout the valley. The it was all gone and the remote went flying out of Bonesaw’s hand and into Phane’s. He smiled and crushed it.

The air around him seemed to shimmer. Then the cloaking effect they had built faded and all of the attackers faded. There were several golems armed with explosive potions, a few robots courtesy of Pearl. But by far the most numerous were Bonesaw’s monstrosities. Each one was a cobbled together mess of parts from various aliens. One predator used the skin of a second as wings, as it fired at Phane with the plasma canons that had replaced its arms. There was a Xenomorph with most of its head removed, and all of its limbs repurposed to spit its own acidic blood at its foes. And those were the less disturbing. Though rather than be disgusted, Phane smiled. “Much easier to fight when you know who you’re fighting!”

He charged forward like a blur, swiping at the attackers with his right hand. Pulse after pulse echoed through the air. After a few seconds, every attacker was gone. Not dead, but gone entirely. And more than that, the valley itself seemed to have shrunk. He then looked towards the two teams and scooped in their direction. Suddenly he was standing right before them, as if a hundred feet had been erased in an instant.
