Had it not been for Amber’s assessment of the combat situation, this fight may have ended in an arrest far earlier than expected. Undyne was releasing her bottled-up aggressions after having fled without fighting for so long by jumping around and throwing her magic spears at Carmelita, she completely missed that the drones were doing more than just providing shields. She missed that Carmelita’s and Erik’s attacks had a system to them.
When Carmelita stopped shooting her small balls, the faunus detected something was amiss while Undyne mistook the break as that Carmelita had run out of juice. She summoned a new spear to her hand which crackled with magic not unlike Carmelita’s electric shots, and prepared to throw it at the policefox when Amber brought Razorback around like a bat and slammed it into a pair of the flying drones. Though their shields held up the robots were batted backwards and left an opening in the formation. “Jump!” she shouted. The fish-woman had no idea why but the urgency in Amber’s words prompted her to obey. She leapt and Carmelita’s empowered electric projectile barely whizzed over their heads.
“On your feet!” shouted the Faunus. She fired a volley of quick shots from Razorback to force Carmelita back into cover while they retreated. The remaining drones were already reforming and the ones that had been batted away came floating back like tenacious mosquitoes.
An electric attack would not be good at all for her, Undyne realized. Her armor was made of metal after all; it would conduct the zap straight through. “Thank you”, she said while getting back on her feet. “We’re not yet in the clear though. That fox’s gone back into hiding!”
“No matter, I can see her. You get the other one.” With that Amber leapt forward, raising Razorback above her head to attack Carmelita – and stepped square into trap. Numerous thin wires of metal erupted from the disk that had been laying on the ground and caught the surprised Faunus, before releasing an electric shock. Amber’s eyes widened but she held on and attempted to stomp the disk to break it apart. This, however, gave her opponents the opportunity to strike.
“Erik, now!” shouted Carmelita. The floating drones had formed around Amber, their shields erected, leaving one side open – the one the psyker was in. Erik had put away his bow and summoned a disk into his hand that he now flung forward, into the opening and at Amber. The catgirl ducked but found herself inside a dome of shields from which the disk, Erik’s Psi Chakram, bounced off and came right back at her. Only her reflexes saved her from worse injury, but when it bounced back a second time it hit her restrained leg and cut deep in before digging itself into the ground, where it fizzled out.
“Sorry Amber”, Undyne heard. Carmelita was pointing her little gun at her, charging it back up, now in full view. “I’ll make this quick and painless, we can talk later.”
“Like HELL you’re gonna!” yelled Undyne. Their pursuers had outsmarted them with an elaborate plan, making them look like a pair of beginners. Yet Undyne was far from admitting defeat. Just as the catgirl bent down by reflex to hold the injury on her leg Undyne threw her spear through the opening the drones had left for Erik’s chakram, where it whizzed over Amber’s head and at Carmelita. The electric shot met the magic projectile in mid-air and they exploded in a flash of light, forcing the fox to cover her eyes. Amber used the opening to break the STAPLER trap with a second stomp and shook off the wires.
“Oof… thank you”, she called over.
“Anytime. I’m taking on the ranged Human, if you can take care of Carmelita!”
“You got it!”
With that Undyne thrusted her hand at Erik. Yet another new spear formed between her fingers. “Stop skirting around the edge, Human. A warrior fights in the middle of the battlefield. En guarde!” Erik reacted promptly by picking his bow back up, but Undyne allowed him no time to prepare a new shot: she summoned two blue dots at his feet, forcing him to sidestep before the spears could shoot outwards, and as his attention was on the ground she loaded her spear with green energy and swung it through Erik’s body with a rapid sweep. The psyker gasped but not a scratch appeared on his chest, though his feet felt rather heavy. Undyne grinned as she lined her spear back up before taking a stab at him, which he barely blocked with the bow. Hastily he summoned a sword into his hand and attempted a counter-attack, locking weapons with her. “Close quarters now?” he asked. “I’m fine with that.”
