  1. “Vista,” he said, “Another shot!”
  2.  
  3. She still had her gun leveled at Mannequin. She aimed-
  4.  
  5. And the Mannequin let a blade spring from his palm. It punched through the wall at the very edge of our tunnel.
  6.  
  7. Ice exploded into the interior of the hallway, consuming the Mannequin entirely.
  8.  
  9. Vista dropped her gun.
  10.  
  11. “No escape route,” Crucible said.
  12.  
  13. “Can’t shoot without putting us at risk,” Vista said. “I can make another exit, but it’s going to take a minute.”
  14. ...
  15.  
  16. “No go.”

  18. I could sense him, now, approaching the building cautiously. He used a laser to pierce the roof. Ice blossomed out to fill the gap, a glacier in summer.
  19.  
  20. I began drawing from the bugs outside, forming a swarm-clone. Eidolon ignored it, firing again. Multiple blasts, multiple creations of ice. He swore under his breath.

  25. There was a concentrated explosion of ice at the edge of the penthouse as the shot punctured the wall, passed within a foot of Tyrant.
  26.  
  27. He advanced, and I stepped forward to meet him, my eyes on his. My power was almost entirely gone. Dampened to the point that it was just me and the bugs that crawled on me. Every step he took reduced it another fraction. Half a foot, then an inch away from my skin…
  28.  
  29. Another bolt, between us, closer to Tyrant than to me.
  30.  
  31. And then an explosion that seemed to shake the entire building. Everyone present was thrown to the ground.
  32.  
  33. Kid Win had blasted a hole in the side of the penthouse, firing what had to be every single weapon at the same time. Ice was swelling from the open area in fits and starts.
  34.  
  35. But it was enough of an opening for Foil to get a clear shot.
  36.  
  37. - Worm, Sting 26.3
