Fiona hovered above the broken ground, her hoverpack sparking with faint cracks.
She looked down at the incoming soldiers.
These ones weren't like the last.
Their arms were covered in jagged plates, some with spines or gills, others with claws thick as swords.
Their eyes glowed, merging with their beasts.
She frowned, adjusting her headset.
"Chat, looks like they brought the big guns this time."

@TalonStrike: They're fused?!
@NightByte: Those are the elite soldiers?!
@EdgeHacker: Fiona watch out, those are Vault Beasts!

The first soldier stepped forward, his arms bulging with armored plates.
His back erupted with jagged spikes as he swung a massive claw at her.
Fiona ducked, rolling to the side.
Sparks burst where his claws scraped the ground.
Fionyx formed a [Rhythm-Reactive Cannon] on her shoulder.
She fired, but the shot bounced off the armored plating.
She skidded backward, arms out for balance.
"Damn it, chat. They're tough!"
