I am not sure what to think of this part so curious what feedback will be, if any.

Bond’s eyes quickly jumped from likely target to likely target; his mind just as fast eliminated them based on the powers they had shown. Magus’ skin would be too tough to pierce, and Geo’s may not even be completely in the physical realm. He thought it might be best to target Raged or Dyne, but the bullet would likely burn up before it made impact on Raged.

This all took him mere seconds to deduce so he rolled once more to the direction of Dyne, he did not like this since his friends were helping, but they need to find some weakness.

He steadied his breathing as he took aim, and then let out a soft breath as he pulled the trigger. Bond saw the bullet speed out of the gun, and he watched as it spiraled towards its likely target, but he watched in horror as it was deflected off its path.

“What the hell do YOU think you are doing jackass!” Typhoid’s voice echoed with a sign of raged Bond had never heard before.

“Listen, I get it, he is your friend,” Bond attempted to explain this as civil as possible, he did not want to enrage Typhoid anymore as long as he was assisting them, “but we have to exploit any and all weaknesses we had. Based on my quick mental calculation, Dyne’s powers are the ones least likely to protect him from bullets.”

The fire in Typhoid’s eye died down just a little bit, “Okay, but as long as we are helping you DO NOT attack him, you get that?”

Bond had no option, but to nod his head in agreement, they would need all the manpower they could gather.

Typhoid did not take in the situation as readily as Bond, but he did have his own personal vendetta to settle, “What about ole flamer over there?” He pointed towards Raged.

“The heat he gives off would most likely burn the bullet before it made contact, it would be useless.”

Typhoid looked over at Raged then over to Bond then back to Raged, “What if I was able to buy you a small window of his body cooling off?”

“How do you pla…”

“Would it help or not!” Typhoid shouted back at Bond.

“Sure.” Bond hated having to hold his tongue. He could take him out right now for all the GAMES men and women he killed.

“Okay, it will be a VERY small window so be prepared for my signal.” Typhoid rushed over to Raged and began to run in a circle lifting up the sand as he did so.
Raged’s natural defense was to blast the articles away from him. He continued to do this until the onslaught stopped.

While he was distracted blasting sand particles, he never realized that he had built a glass funnel for Typhoid, who quickly rushed over to the mouth of the river and gather water quickly through the funnel.

The water poured out over Raged’s head. Of course, the boast from Thear’s power made it little more than a hassle, but his body did need to get adjusted to it.

And through the smoke that was emitted, Bond saw his golden opportunity. Once more, he steadied his breath as he took aim, and released as he pulled the trigger sending the bullet soaring through the sky towards its victim.

This time there was no deflection, and there was no fire to protect Raged. So the bullet cut right through his shoulder, Bond could not deliver the kill shot, but it would be something.

Raged let out a minor wail before he turned towards the trajectory of the bullet, and saw Bond lying on the beach defenseless.

Typhoid’s mind may not work as fast as Bond’s but he could plan ahead, and had anticipated Bond’s lack of ability to kill. So he grabbed the glass funnel that Raged had been so kind to fasten for him, and rushed in front of his fire blast using the funnel to direct it towards one of his counters.

The fire blasted Magus hard in the face, but more importantly it made his skin a bit more malleable.

Swan and Fox knew they would regret this later, but they had been making little headway against him so they took the one chance they were likely to get.

His body was still extremely hot from the fire, but it made it easier for Swan and Fox to land in some body blows which opened up other areas to attack. They had him reeling when they felt another blast of hot air sneak up behind them. They were able to roll out of the way just in time as the second blast nailed Magus once more.

As soon as the flame died down, they went back down on the offensively, but this was short lived as a blast of air knocked them on their butts this time. They were shortly joined by Typhoid and then Bond.

Apparently even in his advanced Thearian form, Geo was still a take charge leader.

Next time the four heard was a loud scream, a flash of something and then darkness.

Almost done.
