Jared nodded his head to Algon. The golem made his way through the portal. He then relayed the message to Recoil, "Alright, Ander is still in contact with multiple enemies at the south gate. I've disabled and deconstructed the shield spire's so should be able to make it there. I want you and A-...Anthos to go clean things up there and exfil here at the square. Don't take too long, pull back if necessary. I'll wait here in case you need me." He looked up to Ciskel floating way in the air. "...I bet I could shoot him from here." He stated to Algon, tossing around ideas, "But I think I now know of a way to take him down that may be a little more...'fun' I guess you could say." Jared sent a bird ahead to check the situation.
Ander was wearing down, but he willed himself to fight. He couldn't lose here! Not after everything he's done to get this far!
Drake had had enough of this, he took his cuff off and prepared for another attack from Ander. He didn't want to kill the kid, but things were looking pretty grim. Ander had retracted his left crystal into a solid half again and it flew in a disk form to act as a small shield for any attacks on that side. "What are you fighting for kid?" Drake questioned in a low demanding voice.
"Like I said, to k-" Ander started.
"SHUT UP AND TELL ME WHAT YOU ARE REALLY FIGHTING FOR!" Drake commanded from him. "If it were so simple of a fight as to try to kill me, you would have left by now! You're seriously wounded, barley standing and yet you still fight, but why?" Drake knew something was up, but he would have to capture him to get the full story here. Ander was faster than him even though Drake was much stronger, so he had to trap him. "TELL ME WHAT YOU FIGHT FOR!"
Ander, enraged, took the bait, "FREEDOM!!" he yelled, screaming as he full out sprinted toward Drake. Drake braced himself, knowing what to do, and knowing it was a big risk. Ander pulled back with his right katar, and then drove it into Drake, stabbing him deeply.
"AHHHHHGGGG!" Drake's whole body seemed to clench in pain, the area around him nearly immediately being drained of life to accommodate him as much as possible. Then he grabbed Ander's right arm in his left hand, and brought down a mighty hammer of a blow on top of Ander, pulling an immense amount of energy from him. Ander let go of his kater as he instantly was knocked out. Then, as he rebounded off the ground into the air, Drake clasped the cuff back on, his hand glowing so bright that it was hard to look at. "Don't die on me kid," he muttered. He then blasted his other arm disabling it far beyond any use. Ander flew back and rolled through the ground a bit before coming to a stop. Not dead, but definitely in need of medical attention. "Get that kid and bring him back with us." he said wearily. Medical attention, that reminded him, Drake looked down the katar still embedded in him the wound bleeding heavily. Then Drake fell, unable to move.
With the cuff still off and put on Drake's belt, the surrounding area was withering away, using up the energy to keep him alive. However, with this going on, the land will soon collapse around them forming a huge crater like before, killing him due to lack of energy in the area to sustain him. If the cuff were to be placed back on before he received medical attention, the injury would be fatal and he could die in seconds.
Jared shook his head as he saw the seen unfold, "WHAT THE H***! Recoil! Cancel that! Ander is down, regroup to square. We are pulling out!" He threw his hands in the air as he walked through the portal. Obviously put off by losing two people on the field in the same day, especially Anthos. The mechanical bird quickly flew in behind him.
