An explosion went off, rocking the ground in a tremor and the sight of debris being tossed into the air with a black body motionless with it. The single one was accompanied by others, first a few and then many. Hidden landmines spaced apart went off whenever the tiniest amount of pressure crossed one, surprisingly affective against the beasts. They roared in pain as bright spikes jutted from the earth, throwing a few or just one corpse into the air. They got close; the first line that survived the initial assortment of detonating devices leaped into the air and others made a b-line for the so very inviting gap in the wall. Even though the walls were several stories high, the hostiles were more then capable of clearing it, but that wasn't what they usually aimed for.

A blue blast scythed through the air and crashed into one of them in mid flight, not unlike the explosions the number of the plasma bolts from the husky increased. Blizzard held his paws out in front of him like cannons, blue bolts firing from his appendages like automatic guns. With every blast let loose the glow and fury around his arms began to fade and decrease down towards the tips of his finger. The bolts hit more hostiles then what they missed. Explosions formed in the air, in front of him or on the ground with just as much destructive force as the mines when each blast made contact.

Vace had disappeared, hurling himself over the edge and down right in front of the oncoming mob. The blades glinted from what light was reflected off the snow whenever he swung them. The hostile's bodies were strong though, hard like mountains and just as unmovable, but matched against the Gamma's brute expertise they were hacked like butter.

Heads were separated from shoulders, and torsos were ripped in half. He twirled, gashing two at a time and then ran a couple more through their stomachs. The momentum each carried helped with the way they were met with demise.

The hostiles began to circle around him in a group while others made a dash for the city, some leaping over the wall and others sprinting through the opening. Blizzard snarled when he watched the monsters get through. The blue had completely vanished from his arms and in exchange bolts of electricity were there instead, leaping around his form and lashing out at any beast that got too close. Like a moth to a bug zapper they were fried in an instant and fell to the ground motionless.

Underneath Blizzard's feet, the wall quaked with the roar of breaking rock grinding against itself. The husky looked down along the side and pulled his eyebrows up in amazement.

A hostile hadn't quite made it over the wall, and ten feet down a truck size crater was imbedded to the surface. The creature's arm buried up to the shoulder into the barrier. It looked up at the Alpha with those dark crimson eyes, mouth wide open and lips pulled back over the just as red fangs. Silverous slobber drooled from its lower jaw when it ripped its appendage from its encasing and clung to the wall like an insect.

Electricity was replaced with the blue fiery glow like before and his paw gripped into a fist. He brought his appendage up and then thrusted it down for the wall's edge, aiming for where the hostile clung and hit hard. He forced a great deal of kinetic reverberating force into the blow and released the bound up plasma at the same time.

The wall exploded and a bright blue crack wound its way at the angle right under the creature, dislodging it just as it was intended. But the beast was smarter then that, just sane enough to reevaluate what was going on and changed the situation for its greater aid. A concrete block was forced from the structure, close enough to take a hold of. In a flash the beast used it as an in air platform and hurled himself onto the ledge, just meters from Blizzard.

Actions took place too fast to see or really predict. The blue husky turned and thrusted his fist blindly in front of him, no more glow except for the faint sparks of electricity that jumped from the panels of his thick steel suit. It was then that a force struck him in the chest, making his metal footwear grind across the surface backwards. His vision blurred momentarily before he could focus, the ground spinning.
