Thanks to Tearen’s helpful crystals Malon and he had had the time to withdraw and hide out for a moment. Tearen was just producing more of the medical items that he had already patched her up with previously, but now they were not given the time to apply them. To let him do so she had assumed her real appearance once again.
Suddenly he lifted his head as the crystals’ relayed information warned him of the incoming attack moments before the bipedal bug yelled “FINAL FLASSH!”
“Wha-“ Malon began but could not react. Tearen put his hands on her shoulders and shoved her backwards into the foliage then faced Cell. His body rapidly turned transparent, just in time to avoid the incoming beam attack. Malon could not see what happened after that because the bright light engulfed his body completely. Was he...
... no, she needed not to worry about Tearen. He wasn’t going to be phased by something like this. The bug-man, Cell, appeared to be focusing onto Tearen for now, but what about the other one? He was pointing two items at Tearen’s crystals, which were emitting light blasts from their front ends as well as loud explosion noises. Just like that vampire’s weapon, except these were bigger!
Wait, but... she could try to replicate Cell’s attack, right? How had he done it... she put her hands forward and gathered her strength in them, then thrusted them at Archer whose back was turned on her. “FINAL FLASH!” she yelled.
... and nothing happened. Not even a little beam of light escaped her hands.
Archer had just leapt behind a tree as his items stopped flashing and had ejected two metallic bars from the bottoms. As he pushed a new pair of bars into the sockets Malon’s shouted words drew his attention and he promptly aimed one of the two items at her. A smug grin crossed his face. Malon reacted more by instinct than because she knew what was coming and leapt behind a boulder while holding her waist, where the cracked rib was. One moment later the item began to flash and Malon heard the blasts again. What sort of magic is this? she wondered as she caught her breath. Her rib was hurting... but how could she treat it on the fly?
Archer began rushing from cover to cover to get to her while dodging the crystal’s light beams, and Malon noticed Cell. His attack had ended and he was currently tossing numerous orbs of light at Tearen who was in turn blasting them mid-air with his beam attack. Those two seemed to be on equal footing, but that wasn’t what interested her.
She had not yet tried to replicate a limb her normal body didn’t have, but there was a first time for everything, right? She tugged her underwear down beneath her skirt just enough to expose the necessary area above her butt, and grunted as her skin began to reshape and form itself. Her spine extended itself with a series of new bones as the new appendage, a lengthy green tail, emerged where her tailbone was. What a weird feeling! She shuddered and, lacking the time to learn how to move that thing, wrapped it around her waist by hand as a makeshift protection whilst lifting as little as possible of her skirt. The next moment Archer appeared on top of the rock, blindly pointing one of the two items at the floating crystals and the other one straight at her.
This time she rushed forward and smacked her palm upwards to make him miss, but she was a bit too slow. Pain erupted from her left arm as two shots landed before she hit Archer’s hand, which coupled with the recoil of the gun threw him off-balance. He reflexively dropped one gun to have a free hand, but it was too late: his right foot stepped on a patch of moss, he slipped and fell off the rock. Malon made a mad dash forward and grasped the item. He had used it by pointing it this way, right? And he’d passed his finger through that loop. How did he use it? It had to be something with his hand, right?
Archer scrambled to his feet and swiftly replaced the lost MP40 with a new one, summoned into his hand. Just in time, no less, to return fire on the crystals which were aiming at Cell and him again. Whatever happened to Cell Malon never found out because as Sterling unloaded both guns at one of the crystals, she pulled the trigger.
Her arms felt like they were being torn from the shoulders as the muzzle flashed thrice and the same number of bullets were sent on its course. Their destination: Archer.

Quote:798 words according to MS Word!
Combat log:
-Tearen dodges Cell's Super Attack using Matter Reassignment (T1 Super Defense) and shoves Malon out of the way so that she suffers no collateral damage.
-Archer is attacking Tearen's Assist Aspects of Divinity, with two MP40s (these are what Malon refers to when speaking of the "items" in his hands throughout my post)
-Malon attempts to use Cell's Super Ki Beam on Archer. Because she has no SP remaining, it fails!
-Archer reloads his empty guns and aims one at Malon. She hides behind cover so his shots miss. He starts advancing towards her while under attack from Aspects of Divinity.
-Cell is bombarding Tearen with Rapid Fire Ki Blast, Tearen is using Particle Energy Conversion to shoot the projectiles down.
-Malon uses Tail (Mimic'd from Cell) as a makeshift first aid for her cracked rib.
-Archer once again shoots his MP40s at Malon and lands two shots into her upper left arm. Malon is able to knock him off-balance and make him drop a gun, which she steals (with Mimic). Archer swiftly replaces said gun and fires at Aspects of Divinity.
-Malon uses MP40 against Archer. I leave it up to him whether or not she lands those hits.
