We moved toward the flag. More guards appeared. Two of them. Ranged attackers.
Fire and ice. Classic combination.
"Julian. Left one."
"I don't take orders from you."
"Julian. Please disrupt the left one's Aspect so I can engage the right one without getting burned to death."
"Better."
His quantum field extended. The fire user's flames sputtered. Her expression showed confusion.
I closed the distance on the ice user. He threw spikes at my face. I absorbed the kinetic energy on impact. Let it flow into my muscles.
My bat connected with his shoulder. He spun. Fell. Stayed down.
The fire user recovered. Launched a burst at Julian.
Julian's own disruption field scattered it into harmless sparks.
"Thanks for the assist."
"I was protecting myself."
"Sure."
We reached the flag. Grabbed it. Started moving back toward our territory.
"TEAM SEVEN HAS CAPTURED TEAM THREE'S FLAG! TWENTY POINTS AWARDED!"
