Blaze's attention is focused on the servitor as it pulls back and lets the dregs in. It's a big one, at least twice the diameter of the low-level models. Whatever its name and significance, the lesser Fallen are all too eager to throw themselves into the firing line for it, rushing in with hopes of finishing off a wounded Guardian or two. She can almost appreciate the gamble they're willing to take. Maybe their captain does too - or maybe it's the cold tactical sacrifice of the sacred machine behind them.
They learn their mistake when Blaze looms out of the haze to one side and Steve leaps from the shadows. Got you. The first in her reach gets a crushing blow to the face- but the second throws itself under her backhanded blow and rolls to its feet with a startled growl. They're untrained and shabbily armed, but they substitute a certain mad courage. that won't save this one when Blaze charges after it again- but it does have time to throw a sparking grenade beneath her feet. Blaze steps right on it.
There's a muffled bang, a dull crack; the surprised Titan's thrown forward onto the unfortunate dreg. Its howl of pain rings loud in her helm pickups as its armor shatters. Blaze swears - and does it again when she feels a blade being jammed frantically into her waist, the charge on it biting into her circuits. "Light-damni-ow!"
