Before Glacier could throw she saw the machine manage to grab R'yak by the neck, effectively ending, at least temporarily, her plans to unleash an ever growing Death Ball at the machine. The machine knew tactics for sure and it was using one of the oldest in the book, an enemy for a shield. "Tch, you can't hold onto him forever..." She did not have to wait long as the machine turned up to look at her and threw R'yak straight for her at incredible speeds, obviously trying to break her concentration while continuing to fight the others. She could not dodge so her body reacted accordingly, except for her hand that was continuing to pump up the Death Ball. Bringing her tail in front of her to act like a sort of cushion and spring, R'yak rocketed into her spiraling tail and into her chest, she had braced as much as she could for the impact and managed to deflect R'yak to the right instead of taking the full brunt of his use as a projectile for the machine. As he bounced off her she could feel her concentration almost slip away but she somehow managed to hold onto it and keep her ground for the most part. The Death Ball was ready and Glacier threw it with all her might at the devastator. The large Cyan energy ball traveled down for a direct hit on their enemy. She noticed Maximus after she had unleashed her attack. Good, the machine might be able to find a flaw in their opponent not readily seen by biologicals, though she had good reason to believe her Death Ball had sufficient enough charge to do some damage to even their steel-hide opponent.
