*The figure also swings, but Umbra's weapon easily cleaves through its version, severing its arm which collapses into a pile of nanites on the ground*

He stops firing.
"Damn. Well, looks like I'm switching to explosive rounds." He slings his rifle.over his shoulder and pulls out his revolver, and fires a few explosive rounds at the nearest figure.

Deep breaths, Wurg. Even though you have no lungs. Stay calm. It can't take over. You're immune. It cannot pass he indomitable wall of your mind. I gritted my teeth, set my stance, and glanced at the figures emerging from all around. A metal plate formed around my hand, a fairly shoddy shield, but a shield nonetheless. Scrap metal is very useful for making geometric shapes, after all. If any of the figures approached, I was ready. The plasma-edge of my blade glowed a faint, burning orange. It was time to fight.
*Three of the figures begin to stagger on their uneven legs towards Wurg*
"Of course, can't go one-on-one, nope, gotta gang up..." I shifted the hilt of the sword a bit in my palm, before setting my eyes on the one coming from the left.
"Left to right, just like reading, gotta keep tabs on the others, don't want them to overwhelm me..." I dashed forwards at a speed almost unfitting my small stature, towards the figure I had focused on. My blade was ready to wing as soon as I got in range...

*The nanites begin to attract eachother and reform*

I'm helping! Oh god this is unpleasant.

*The figure raises its arm to strike too slowly*
The heated plasma edge of my blade cleaved through the limb with surprising ease, melting and destroying any nanites it came into direct contact with. My strike continued, towards the chest of the figure, hopefully cleaving it in twain.

"Could you get everyone somewhere safe? That'd be great. There's a one-use portal creation prototype in my lab- get everyone together and in it!"

I could try but these things are really messing with my head.

Repeatedly.

One down. Two to go.
I jumped backwards, and scanned around to see where the other figures were. Maybe I could take them both out with one hit. Maybe. Probably not, but...I could hope.

"Yes! Glad they work!" Tim then begins firing the other six bullets in his gun, each one at a different ateros' chest.
