Close to: Isaiah, SiRiDio, Formorta and Jada.
Syd controlled her disgust as [member="SiRiDio"] leapt to the top. Baby steps, Syd. Can't go killing every Darksider that walks up to you these days, Syd thought.
It was soooo tempting, though...
"We need to disable their tractor beam, everything except gravity and life support. We need to get to engineering, then fight our way to the bridge. As for weapons...you have me..." Syd replied grimly, but loud enough for [member="Isaiah Dashiell"] as all the cell blocks opened thanks to [member="Jada Raxis"]. [member="Formorta"] leaped over the wall easily and Syd covered her by sending two fire balls into guards approaching from the other side about to take aim.
"ALERT MULTIPLE SUBJECTS HAVE ESCAPED CONTAINMENT. REPEAT, MULTIPLE SUBJECTS HAVE BREACHED CONTAINMENT." The P.A. system announced. "SUBJECT TEN HAS BREACHED CONTAINMENT. MULTIPLE KIA'S. REPEAT, MULTIPLE KIA'S.
"Nerfherders didn't even bother to get my name..." Syd grumbled, hearing the alarm and seeing more of the forearmed lumbering brutes sending blaster cannon fire her direction, forcing her to fly off the top of the storage wall, flying very fast over them before they could react and conjured a larger, wider blast of fire that she sent their way as she landed behind them. The large, wide jet of flame bathed the guards in fire, dousing them in wave after wave of heat. They went down quickly, and Syd forced the flames on their corpses to travel into nearby fire extinguishers, bursting and frying them from within, the rest back to her hands, where she carried the flames, making an already metallic sheened combat suit shimmer with flickering orange light as four more Twon Ketee guards lumbered into the large storage area, flanked by multiple human guards, some armed with slug throwers. Syd sent a large, wide twister of flame their way, having to focus twice as hard as she advanced, her emotions as to her primary method of attack dulled. She simply regarded it as doing what she was made for. She hadn't been twisted from a smoke demon into this just so she could fire blasters. Guards scrambled for cover to avoid her fire jets, the Ketee being quicker than they looked as they dodged her blasts and sent blaster fire her way, making her cease her fire attacks and fly upward a high speed towards a cat walk, where she was surprised by another guard, from behind as she landed, the cannon fire hitting close to the metal platform as the guard pulled out a blaster pistol and fired point blank at her head.
Instead of bursting open, the flesh on her face, rippled from the impact, the enchantments that held her psychic shell together absorbing the energy, vein-like orange lines spreading across her face then disappearing. It only stung as she rushed forward grabbing the guard's wrists, concentrating. He screamed as his flesh sizzled, Syd then head-butting him and leaving a nasty burn on his forehead, knocking him out
Blaster cannon fire punched dangerously close, and Syd, already somewhat drained both due to the effort it took to use her powers in confined areas, as well as having not had access to a real heat source for a while, was soon running across the catwalk to avoid the incoming slug throwers, diving off the catwalk and using Force Flight to shoot across them, dodging their blasters in mid air and landing in the middle of them, where she immediately attacked the Ketee first, blasting them with flames that she immediately forced to travel around her, the other guards scramble, but not before one got a shot off.
Syd gasped as a bullet hit her from behind, dropping to one knee, a bright orange light emerging from the wound, and second and third one hit her shoulder and 'knee'. Had she organs and a skeleton, these would have been incapacitating wounds. Lethal wounds. As such, all it meant was that her shell would eventually break down without sustainance. Still hurt badly though, and Syd felt her very spirit weaken, even as the flames that had hit the Ketee guards had also transferred to some of the human ones, and as she struggled to rise, she barely caught one Ketee still standing and sent a piece of shrapnel created by its panicked fire into its throat with telekinesis, though she barely managed it, given the kind of pain she was in. She rose, barely summoning the strength to phase through another makeshift prison wall, which accelerated the degeneration of her shell due to the stress. Orange cracks of light spread painfully across her face, wisps of flame escaping as she hit the floor, other prisoners scrambling away as armor piercing rounds and blaster bolts punched through the flimsy metal prison. Syd struggled up to her feet, the cracks on her face spreading further, spreading dangerously. She saw a grenade tossed over the wall, swatted it back with telekinesis, slapping the cell door shut with her mind to allow for at least some cover. It detonated on the other side, blasting the door to the makeshift cell open causing what few prisoners were inside with her huddling in fear to moan even more in terror, before Syd got up, feeling her shell began to break down even faster. She had to find fire now.
Fortunately, the grenade had created quite a few number of fires on the other side. And as the other, still healthy prisoners rioted, trying to overwhelm the other guards, Syd launched another blast of fire, setting four more guards ablaze, part of her jaw breaking down, revealing bright orange wisps of flame, eminating from her face, as she sweapt a wide jet of fire at a corridor entrance, sending three Twon guards retreating from the severe heat. She got behind cover, her jaw having nearly dissolved, her flame blasts growing pencil thin and weak as the blaster cannon shot started to blast apart the cell wall she hid behind. Her eyes glowing orange as she spotted a blown, burning fuse box.
Half her face started to dissolve in flames as she ignited the flames and sent them out with a waning strength towards the guards, Her shell badly worn down by this point. But the flames did the trick, the guards burned.
Syd staggered away from the other rioters, found a large blaze created by corpses, that grenade blast, and Syds fire. Smoke and flames mixed in one corridor, and Syd dived into the flames, letting the moving particles mend the damage she had sustained, other prisoners looking at her in fascination and horror as they ran by, her jaw and face restoring itself after a solid minute, Feeding off the heat to restore her strength and the flames around her rapidly dwindled and vanished after that minute as she kept alert for threats.
Finally she rose, looking to find that zabrak and Isaiah, and instead found more Twon Ketee entering the cell block and aiming cannons at Jada.
"LADY! BEHIND YOU!" Syd yelled at Jada, too busy being forced behind cover to avoid bullets. Flames were still spreading and she phased through a cell wall to avoid more gunfire, phasing through the wall on the other side and taking flight, zipping by and drawing the guards fire to keep it off her temporary comrades, gliding like a bird through the air blaster bolts and bullets flying in her direction.
