"I AM KROGAN!" Grunt bellowed, charging into the fray of scrambling mercenaries. They dove for cover as Salarian gore splattered against the wall.
"We had a plan, you fucking tadpole!" Jack cursed, keeping pace with the thundering war-beast and launching a group of assailants into a volatile container with a biotic whim.
Grunt sneered, his shotgun spraying melted slag at another target. "Plans are for fleshy, sparkly weaklings!"
"These SPARKLES can kick your ASS!" She snarled, electrocuting a pack of FENRIS mechs with a ferocious scream.
Grunt sidestepped, allowing a rocket to stray past him, directly at Jack. Jack retaliated, hurling her entire body into a wave of energy that repelled the rocket and launched Grunt, flailing, toward the attackers. The last two assailants met their demise with a sickening crunch, sandwiched between a projectile Krogan and a solid concrete wall.
Grunt's large frame slid down the wall, face first, and landed in a limp puddle on the ground. As Jack approached his shaking body, she fumed with embarrassment.
"Stop fucking LAUGHING." She delivered a sharp kick to his side.
She meant to kill him, but the stubborn bastard was flailing around in fits of giggles. Still, as she surveyed the wreckage, she had to admit that they made an awesome team.
Reluctantly, she offered him a hand up.
"That was fun!"
"Shut up."
