Demorphing as fast as he could, struggling to fix not only the massive gut wound that had spilled his organs on the floor but the loss of both of his front paws, Tommy panted as he finally emerged as a human again. That… that had been an even worse fight than when they'd destroyed the Kandrona, not such a long time ago.

Laying on his back for a long moment, trying to catch his breath and not think about what they'd all just been through, Tommy managed to sit back up again.

Some of the others – Jake, Marco, and Cassie in particular – were talking, but Tommy didn't quite have the mental capacity to contribute to the conversation at the moment. It was something to do with Erek; something the android had done, but Tommy had been pinned down by a group of Hork-Bajir that had piled in on him just as soon as the human-Controller leading them had ordered them forward. He'd find out later, Tommy knew, but for the moment he just focused on recovering.

Closing his eyes again, Tommy sighed deeply; he'd be happy about having made it out of another fight alive later, for the moment Tommy just needed some rest.
