[Chad32]

(Missed Myitt's post. Also the part where he fired.)

Temrash heard Corliss. It was kind of hard to defend someone when that person had a weapon leveled at you, and for some reason actually fired the thing. He raised his arms to try to absorb the fire, and remained conscious. He backed away from Efaen as best he could.

Hadrin and Fletcher died because of me. Then I find out Myitt let Keshin get away, so revenge wasn't even taken for Hadrin's death. I'm afraid it bothers me a lot, and I don't want some stupid Andalite threatening to kill you for kissing her. Though I wonder how much farther it would have gone if Jagill hadn't caught you."

"Now why are you shooting me? Do you really care more about Terenia than me/ You shoot the person trying to defend your life? Both you and Myitt are crazy. I'm changing my mind about joining your cause altogether." He said, trying to hide his vulnerability.

Efaen sees an opening as Temrash turns his attention on Corliss and quickly steps behind him. Her tail snakes up and around, the blade finding its way as close to his throat as she can manage, hoping to leave him in a relatively helpless situation.

"That's enough!" Charlotte said, loudly, without yelling. She yanked her arm free, and lifted her gun. Carson and Antonio swiftly jumped to their feet. Within a second, the three of them each fired a circular wall of pure force that covered roughly eight feet in diameter, aimed at Efaen, Corliss, and Temrash. They would be shoved rather unpleasantly into the nearest wall, the only damage being bruises, assuming the blasts made contact. Which they should, considering the guns covered their firing range as fast as, if not faster than, any other modern weapon. "Enough dying today!" She shouted, hopefully heard above the din.

[Chad32]

Temrash was worried Efaen would kill him, but then Rayker's troops came in and put up a forcefield. He was trapped against a wall, though being stunned kept it from being painful. "I was just going to rough her up a bit. A large bit."

Kevlin switches aim again to the three soldiers. "Just back off." He says through gritted teeth.

[Chad32]

"Stand down, Kevlin. They're not the enemy." Temrash said. He didn't want Kevlin shooting those soldiers. They had helped him and Gaz's crew, and he was indebted to them. Especially since they just saved him from having a tail to his neck.

This is a tricky predicament for the three Beta Squaders. If any of them took their aim off of the others who they merely wanted to restrain, they'd leave an opening. If they didn't then the opening that already existed would be taken advantage of. Temrash seemed to be semi-compliant with his time out, so Carson changed the focus of his gun to a wider setting, which should grow and shove back Kevlin as well. The force field would be weaker, and if they both resisted.... Carson regripped his gun and braced himself, changing his footing. Back off... whatever.

 "Yeah, and just watch this soon-to-be bloodbath? You're awfully eager for a brawl, aren't ya?"

[Chad32]

Kevlin was no longer watching Claxter, but now he didn't know what to do. He remained as he was, ready for action.

[Terenia]

The blast from the concussion weapon pushes Efaen into Temrash, and one of his many blades makes a second incision, this time on her upper abdomen. She cries out a second time in pain and anger, pulling back from the Hork-Bajir as quickly as she is able.

Bleeding freely from two separate wounds now, neither of them shallow, Efaen is beginning to get a bit lightheaded.

<<Terenia...>> Efaen croaks in a rather un-Efaen sort of way. Internally, Terenia seems to heave a sigh heavy enough to contain the entire planetoid's troubles.

<<Fine...>> she murmurs. Efaen has never before been relieved to feel her limbs abducted from her, but when she suddenly cannot control her tail, her hooves, her arms, she feels as though a weight has lifted off of her shoulders. Terenia assumes control and immediately begins to morph human before the blood loss worsens. Her body is still held by the force field uncomfortably close to Temrash, but she has no choice at the moment.

[Cobra (Gymn)]

"If you insist even if they did just shoot you." Kevlin was flung back against the wall. <<Typical Temrash. Sees something that makes no sense to anyone else and then gets us in trouble.>>

[warren_bearclaw]

((Um... I widened my force field so it might hit you too, Kevlin... perhaps you didn't see that, though...))

The blasts shoved Temrash and Efaen closer together, unpredicted."Oh crud..." Charlotte said when she noticed the Andalite morphing. This alarmed her, because she thought it was to something dangerous, something that could put up a fight. But then she saw the wounds. "Don't worry, she's healing." Charlotte said. Antonio had begun eying Efaen's form nervously. From his experience, almost anything that morphed was danger.

[Cobra (Gymn)]

((I noticed and posted that he was flung into the wall.))
Kevlin rolled his eyes. "Temrash this would have been much simpler if you had just let me knock them out."

[Terenia]

"Okay," Terenia says once her mouth has formed, "Could you please release us? Efaen has officially been put in time out, I promise. She won't bother anyone and Temrash has no reason to hurt me. I think." She eyes Temrash warily, wishing that there was more space between the two of them.

[warren_bearclaw]

((Oh... I feel silly now!   ))

Carson kinda chuckled at Kevlin's comment. "We weren't going for 'simple' really... it was something more along the lines of 'alive' that we were after." He couldn't really see Corliss from where he stood; he hoped that he wasn't too badly injured from the wall o' hurt they'd sent his way. He also hoped he wasn't getting ready to shoot someone. "We'd be glad to let y'all go now. But don't go trying anything stupid. These things get stronger, y'know." Carson nodded at Charlotte, and they dropped the force fields, allowing the others to move, or more likely, slump to the ground after the sudden release of pressure pinning them to the wall. Antonio still held his aim at Corliss.....

[Chad32]

"I owe them one, and don't want you shooting them." Temrash said to Kevlin. When the forcefield was removed he slumped over, but in Terenia's direction. His stunned state from Corliss' shot kept him from quickly getting up. "I'm willing to leave Efaen alone if Terenia keeps her in check. Were you really in there the whole time? What, were you wallowing in depression over killing your sister? I knew it would have a negative effect on you."
