"Blake? What are you doing here? Nevermind... I think it'd be best if we made our way over to Blake and whoever else he has with him." She said to Shina. "We can take what we need and leave the hummingbird for now. The robots aren't going to do anything to it if there is no life inside. I'll keep watch while you make a run for Blake."
[I'll just assume they know where he is]

Blake glanced up at the Pyresian ship. "I wonder if Jad is up there."
And thus he just stood, looking up, watching the massive cannons glimmering back at him. There didn't seem to be a point in worrying about whether the cannon attacked or not. The Hummingbird was so clunky, it wouldn't get away in time, now would it?
The Dark Eagle would. Turning, Blake said into his wrist pad:
"I hope Jad is up there, because if not we're all dead, Nina. We can't get off the planet and away from the range of debris in time if that thing blasts us. We need to board the Dark-"
A shock wave threw Blake, and possibly Rosa and Vexis, to the ground. There stood Maggie, unconscious, but surrounding in a living indigo aura. She seemed as if she were sleep walking, and was almost humorous - except for, of course, the dark aura that seemed to drain away life just by being close.
The shock wave had broken Blake's wrist pad, so he was without contact to Nina or Shina now.

((Sorry 'bout delayed replies, its dinner time...>_>))
Rosa was forced backward due to the unexpected shock wave, though she somehow managed to land gracefully on her feet. Vexis, however, was sent back further, landing hard on her shoulder. Rosa quickly scanned the source of this power for any possible threats, but decided not to attack it when she realized Maggie was the cause.
Vexis got up sorely, rubbing her scratched up arm. "Ow...that was....unexpected...and painful..." Vexis complained like she always does, before finally noticing the giant ship above them that would ultimately be their doom. "Oh...s**t...."

Nina saw a little purple glowing orb in the sky desending to the planet's surface. At first, she thought it might be Rosa. Occasionally she did wierd things like glow and explode. So the three of them ran off in that direction.

Blake pulled himself off of the ground, before gasping when he realized that Maggie was his adversary. "Maggie? Mag, what are you doing?"
Blake did not raise his Single Action Army, nor the pistol blaster from its holster, either, it being less reliable than old Action Armies anyway.
The aura shivered, then sighed, somehow, not an audible sigh but a visual one. Then Maggie's unconscious body sagged to the ground, while the aura grew and grew... feeding off of Maggie's life force.

Nina, Shina and Damien got to the scene just as Maggie was on the ground. She looked around at the scene. "Maggie and Marth... are they both dead?" It was hard to tell since neither of them appeared conscious at the moment.

((My question is how the hell Jad is going to make it to the bridge of that ship in time... xd ))
Vexis' attention was brought back to the 'pretty' purple aura in front of them as it grew, her -still bluish- eyes opened wide to this -not only was the entire planet in danger, but now some freakish energy was leeching the life force from who was presumably Blake's ally. "W-what the hell is THAT!?"
"Some unknown force...not even my sensors can detect the cause of it..."

Blake backed up to stand beside Nina, or somewhere in that vicinity. "No... not dead... not dead... just... alive?"
Blake didn't seem to be coherent. "And then, he died... so I k-killed... but... Marth... again. Maggie... immortal? Ship... kill us all...."
The dark aura was compacting, becoming smaller now, until it was the size of Maggie herself. It shrieked incoherently, then punched the air in front of it. Blake was sent flying, without any contact whatsoever.

Nina frowned and smacked Blake upside the head. "Oh, sorry. That usually fixes Steve when he starts talking like that... So if I understand correctly... Marth was killed, then you killed the guy who killed Marth then he came back to life. And Maggie is possessed and immortal... hmm..." She scratched her chin. How she knew all that from Blake's incoherent mumbling, no one will ever know.

((I'd forgotten about Damien...thanks for reminding me, Techni... xd ))
Damien just watched what all was going on at first, but then snapped back to his senses when he saw Rosa ahead. Damien ran towards her, trying his best to keep a good distance between him and that aura around Maggie. "Rosa....thank god that other android didn't destroy you-!" Damien's sentence was blocked off from being finished, because he had just been stuck through by one of Rosa's blade-arms. He fell to the ground, just barely aware of what just happened before losing consciousness.
Rosa just watched as Damien fell, she shook off her bloodied blade, then adapted her arm back to normal. What caused this all of a sudden?

Blake buckled in place. After being thrown and slapped, then befuddled into confusion by completely understandable logic acquired in an incomprehensible way, he could take no more.
Blake, unlike his companions, was not unconscious, however. He had crumpled near Aerclayr's body, as well....

"Ah! See! I told you that he'd just end up hurt!" Nina tugged on her hair and some of it fell out. "Oops... ... What's going on here? I thought Maggie was on our side? And have you seen Jad?" She found herself talking to no one after Blake had been tossed back. She walked over to Blake and lifted his body over her shoulders. "I have no problem leaving Damien here to die, but I'm not leaving you behind... You're actually useful to me."

"That isn't Maggie," Blake whispered gruffly. He wasn't hurt at all. Pushing Nina out of the way - she wouldn't want to be in front of him - he ran over and grabbed Maggie's forehead with a gauntlet-enclosed hand.
Aerclayr's gauntlet.
The source of electricity that surged throughout Maggie's body caused her to emit a terrifying scream of pain and agony.
More pain; more screaming; more agony.
More pain; more screaming; more ag-ony.
The aura shrieked in pain, then dissipated, as electricity coursed through its own inner workings as well.. it faded... leaving an unconscious Marth, an unconscious Maggie, and an exhausted Blake.

Nina sat on the ground and rubbed her arm where Blake and pushed her. "Hmm... once again the day is saved thanks to me..." she said with obvious sarcasm in her voice.

"Not quite," Blake said in a gruff voice. He was collapsed onto his own - no, Aerclayr's - gauntlet. The thing was still on. Electricity coursed through Blake's veins. It was searing his chest.
And there was a giant ship with a humongous cannon pointed directly at the piece of rock they resided on.
What a really nice day it was, though.
