Big Gun vs. Skadi

Hands found handholds, and I twisted, still diving, but this time with my gun ready.

I put a shot into her, the entire gun shuddering like it was trying to tear itself apart as it spat out a golden ray, carving a furrow into Titan Skadi, like a gouge that might be dug into white hot armor with the right tool.

There were other capes on the battlefield. Ones who hadn't been there for the briefing, but who were helping us out. They capitalized on the shot, pressing the advantage while she was off balance, and while a part of her was damaged enough they could maybe pry it off or dig in.

She disappeared, and I immediately searched for her location. Behind me? Above? No.

Down.

She was in the midst of that crystal landscape, where I could not fly without giving up my weapon. But I had anticipated that.

From high above, I aimed at her and placed another shot. Getting her attention, bringing her close. This time I threw my weapon, insofar as that was possible, and met the onslaught. Keeping her occupied.

I let her hit me, and used the momentum from that to meet my gun where it was still falling through the air. I found the handholds and stopped it from falling.
