The blast created Reza caused Khazo to be disoriented for a moment but in that moment so much happened. Weapon fire came from both sides and Khazo tried his best to protect the hostage from fire as well as himself. The deflected round hit Khazo but only brought down his shield, the next two shots from the demon landed in the scientists head, thanks to her struggling to get free, allowing Khazo to toss the body to focus on his escape. The second shot meant for the plasma grenade landed in his wrist and exited out of his forearm. Khazo howled as the shots landed and he quickly threw the hostage up through the hole. When Khazo went to exit himself another shot landed in his arm, freeing his last plasma grenade from his grip and accidentally arming it. Khazo managed to exit the maintenance shaft but Reza was still in there. While in any other situation he would have left his comrade to die but seeing as he was wounded and desperately in need of backup he leaned his rifle into the shaft and blind fired in the direction of the heretics. [color=662d91][b]"Major, the grenade!"[/b][/color], Khazo yelled into the shaft before pulling his arm back up so as to avoid the blast. From what he could guess Reza had about four seconds to exit the shaft or be killed.
