One of Rai's shots finally makes contact with the Fallen's skull, their head erupting into a burst of silver ether. Still propped up on her knee, Rai reloads her red and white Scout Rifle. Natylee is no longer under her, but is scrambled off behind cover. Regarding her for a second, Rai is surprised by the Guardian's immediate reaction to seek cover, expecting her to be the kind of being to meet fire with fire. However, she notices a burning scorch mark on Natylee's shoulder. The wound still fizzled with faint electricity, a mark that Rai recognized as the work of a Wire Rifle. Rai gives a small nod to Natylee, then says plainly, "We have to get out of here now, before more Devils show up." It was too late for that, though. A flurry of crackling balls burst through the windows, moving spastically from side to side amid the hail of broken glass. A pack of Fallen evidently had their Shock Rifles trained on the two Guardians. Rai dove into cover next to Natylee, her thick armor glancing off a few of the Arc rounds. Relic iron plating was a good investment. She narrowly peered out across the street, looking for any advantages that she could gain on the prowling Fallen. The red-bathed building the Eliksni were firing from was already in heavy disrepair, and was barely standing on the infrastructure left intact. If she could take out one of the supporting pillars, it might topple the building, and the resulting dust could possibly give them cover to make a getaway. Or some rubble could fall on top of her... "I'm going to break for the building across the street. Once I'm halfway there, start running straight down the road, to our left." Without waiting to see if Natylee had any questions, Rai bolted from cover. She channeled her light into her thighs and calves, Arc energy jumping off of her legs. She hadn't noticed that one of the Fallen, a short, ambling Dreg, had ventured out into the road. The poor creature got bulldozed by Rai's elbow before getting off a single shot. Within 3 seconds of breaking cover, Rai had made it across. Without stopping, she channeled all of her momentum into her right shoulder, and leapt full force into the tower's main support pillar.
