The spores that had once fileld the air had seemed to subside now, and Hans found it much easier to breathe. But the spores had been, at best, only a moderate nuisance, nothing that could on their own turn the tide of battle.

'What to do now?' he thought, surveying the field of battle. That damned Scizor was still up and fighting, hitting Stahlos with "super" powered punches that got weaker after each blow, and a single, rather large Galvantua that insisted on ruining everything with its burst of highly-accurate arc lightning.
Oh, and a Shuckle, too. Fuck. Hans had a few things that could probably deal with the Shuckle, but they'd both be at risk from the large Galvantula, so that would not be advisable. Furthermore, the new assortment of caltrops would make any of his potential newcomers take damage, and in the battle of attrition that is a Shuckle fight, every sliver of health matters. Stahlos had nothing that could reasonably deal with the metal mantis, but that wasn't a problem anymore.
