"THAT ALL. YOU FUCKING GOT?!" Blood trickles down Lex's mouth but he doesn't seem to even mind the pain at this point. <span class="mu-s">It is as if every ounce of pain he feels is empowering him.</span>
Lex immediately returns the favor by slamming his fist directly into Bel's jaw. Crackles of bright green and blue energy radiate from the sight of impact as a massive hunk of Bel's jaw is sliced clean off by the barbed wire.
Bel stumbles back yet again and for a moment, you think he's about ready to fall, but he keeps standing for now. It's just long enough of a reprieve for Lex's AUTOSTIMPAK to activate.
>-SHATTERED RIBS FROM LEX! -AUTOSTIMPAK!
"SWITCHING TARGET." In the blink of an eye, he darts over towards the aisle Quentin + Ashley + Wendy were hiding behind, standing right in front of their closest exit. Looking through the gaps of the aisle's shelves, you can see Wendy aiming her gun at his head.
<span class="mu-s">BANG!</span>
A massive hole punches right through Bel's skull. He doesn't even remotely flinch and instead slams his fist down onto Ashley, who (even with her foresight) didn't expect him to blitz over to her aisle that quickly.
[SIXTH SENSE] She immediately dodges the first punch by ducking to the right. Then the second but squatting down. Then the third by rolling to the left. As if she could see his movements before he even realized what he was doing.
She immediately jabbed her BLOODSTAINED HUNTING KNIFE directly into his thigh before slicing it right down to his foot. A torrent of multicolored blood violently sprays across her face, blinding her for just long enough for him to throw a wild haymaker at her.
She manages to still dodge most of it but his fist managed to smash against her foot, shattering it without even him really trying.
>-2 ASHLEY FLESH! +SHATTERED LEFT FOOT CRIPPLING INJURY! (-2 TALENT! DUE TO ASHLEY'S ATHLETIC PHYSIQUE, SHE CAN IGNORE THE PENALTY FOR NOW!)
She sends her slamming into the nearby shelf, leaving Quentin and Wendy vulnerable to his assault. Another massive hole is punched into his chest by Wendy's HANDCANNON but he slowly but steadily approaches the bug and the crazy W-Corp rep, ready to smash their heads into paste with one go...
But Quentin has a card up his sleeve.
[TO THE SKY] He wraps his arms around Wendy and, as his bug wings rip through his uniform, he flies up out of the shelf and over to where Alexis is to get some distance from Bel.
Bel snaps his gaze to Ashley but he decides her attack isn't worth killing her for yet. Especially when he still has other targets. He tries to blitz over to them...when two of the automatons Bill gave you stumbles out from nearby aisles. They latch onto his legs with all of their life, knowing that they can't actually injure him in any meaningful way.
This, combined with the ECLIPSE SILK, is enough to slow him down long enough for Ashley to stumble back far enough down the alley where your explosive slugs won't hit her.
