Salem had been distracted and hadn't noticed the group that ambushed Silver. This situation was getting very dire, very quickly. Salem watched, awed, as Temrash took down the small group that had attacked Silver, and stared down the rest. They were certainly thinking twice about attacking him. Can't say I blame them, Salem thought.
Salem stayed back, in the ship, ducking out from behind his cover to take shots at the group that was advancing on Silver. Temrash was undoubtedly more skilled than the advancing Yeerks were, but he was severely outnumbered, and now they were ready for him. One of the larger Hork-Bajir charged Temrash with startling speed. Salem took careful aim and fired; the Hork-Bajir exploded, showering Temrash and Silver with chunks of flesh, the very ground around them shaking thanks to the deafening boom the gun gave off when it hit something. The Hork-Bajir's legs, still mostly intact below the knees, fell where he had stood a split second earlier. Salem noted that the Andalite seemed to be holding his own for the moment, and the woman whose name he didn't know seemed to be keeping an eye on Temrash and Silver as well, Dracon in hand. Salem was glad for the additional eyes and shots covering them.
"Silver! Temrash!" he called. "You guys need to move!" He cast a quick glance towards Blast, who was now gathering energy. He certainly seemed to be getting into this fight.
