Athena heaved a sigh of relief as Kopaka's 'eyes' lit up with their usual blue glow. She had been flattened against the mound of spilled books, unarmed and barely out of reach of the Flymon's vicious stabs. She had also been aware that as soon as the dimwitted creature remembered that it could shoot stingers, she would be done for. As soon as her ally stabilized the bookshelf and she could tell that it was probably safe, she reached up and pulled the trigger to return Crescent Gold to its gun mode. Then, at the Toa's command, she quickly aimed and shot.
The first gunshot took out the monster's right wing. It crashed to the ground, only a few inches from Kopaka. It struggled to its feet and thrust out its front appendages in an attempt to grab him. Athena tensed, but then relaxed as she saw the end of the robot's thick blade sprout from the abdomen of the beast. The sword retracted again, and the Flymon collapsed. Athena sent a final shot deep into the back of the creature's crest to ensure that it wouldn't get up again, and then set about removing herself from the haphazard pile of tomes.
A few moments later, she was free, and turned towards the battle scene. The mutant insect was undeniably dead, fuschia blood covering most of its body. It was impossible to tell from the Toa's expression how badly he was injured, but his shoulder had developed a sickly violet tinge, and he still hadn't stood up. Athena approached and regarded him with concern.
"I can't heal - I mean, I don't have the ability naturally," she began. She wished Nitrogen were present - her healer friend had strengthened the team greatly in battle after she had been recruited, often without lifting a finger in offense. However, wishes did nothing to fix the problem, Athena knew. On the other hand, the Omniverse was advantageous in other ways...
"I could try to create something that would help, though. In my world, there were bandages that would fuse to injuries and weave the skin back togeth... actually, I'm not sure whether that would work on mechanics - er, biological mechanics?" If the Toa had been affected by poison, then Athena was certain he must be partially made of living tissue, but she had no idea how such a thing was possible - she had certainly never encountered anything of the sort personally. Maybe the mechanical parts were simply a shell that had been constructed for a biological organism? She shook her head. Again, those musings were not constructive in the current situation.
"As I said, I could try. However, it could be difficult to make, and there might be more of those things around. With one of us weakened and the other concentrating, we'd be basically defenseless. I recommend we return to the physical world, find a way to get you healed somehow, and perhaps get some assistance as well. We could even recruit four others. Six is always a good number, don't you think?" The suggestion was mostly her own inside joke - Athena gave a fleeting, wistful smile recalling her own group of six, the God-Souls. However, the Toa probably wouldn't be able to relate, and despite the extent to which she had become involved, the removal of the infestation was still Kopaka's quest. Therefore, she would respect his opinion on the matter. That is, assuming he had the strength to speak.
