Which just goes to show just how monstrous Darkness's strength really is. You saw one of those machines rip two of the Namekian warriors in half yesterday. Which, granted, you do think they were the guys who got killed by Dodoria in canon, so getting killed by magic robot ninjas is at least an improvement?
“Sacred Highness Defense! Sacred Highness Speed!” Aqua shouts, casting her divine-level stat boosting magic on Darkness as she retakes her fightin stance. “Sacred Highness Strength!”
“Hit me like you mean it!” Darnkess taunts, taking a step forward just as two more fly up over the ledge. “Bring it on, I'll take you all on at once!”
“Dammit.” you mutter to yourself, forcing you to change your approach. Instead of rushing up behind it to go for your Shocking Grasp, you instead get into a position to line the three of them up while lamenting your lack of damage output.
Darkness does an excellent job as a party tank, the crazy masochist soaking up hits that would crush any of you in a single blow. At the same time, Aqua's nearly limitless divine mana makes her an invaluable healer, able to heal Darkness from the damage she takes while Yunyun is the second strongest archwizard of her entire clan. Were this a normal battle, Darkness would hold off the threat and Aqua would keep her alive while you and Yunyun attack the threat until it goes down. But with her protecting Aqua now, you can't use her power as a crutch and are forced to do all the dps yourself. If you can't do it, you all are going to die. But, luckily, you'd stopped by the ship after the fight at the last village.
“These babies have been amped up since the war with those damn splitjaws, with all their spare weapons we captured.” the yellow-skinned creature that looks like Dodoria in charge of the ship's armory had said to you, holding up one of their arm cannons. “Now these lil things can punch straight through an armored starcraft's hull and energy shield both.”
“I hope he was right.” you whisper, taking a knee and grabbing your right arm with your left hand to brace yourself as you activate your skill with a whisper while pressing the fire button. “Snipe.”

The weapon's recoil almost dislocates your shoulder as you fire, the weapon clearly not built to be wielded by normal humans. But the results are more than worth it, the cannon firing a beam of crimson energy the size of your head that blows straight through all three of them. It is so powerful that, as the recoil knocks your fist skyward, the beam cuts up through their bodies. Ending all three of the robotic ninjas in a flash.
