"Shit!" Andi only partially saw Gan's trip through the air; when he crashed down on the other member of the team she wasn't prepared. Turning she tried to track the new threat, but she had other worries than the civilian. She heard the sharp retort of the Private's gun and waited to feel the burning sting of the bullet ripping through her...instead she felt a faint buzz in her mind. Her mind separated and it felt as though she was watching herself in a slowed down action movie.

The shots he'd fired seemed to miss her by hairs-breath, and now angry, she moved to confront the other attacker. With a supressed shout of rage she pulled back her fist and slammed it into the torso of their attacker. A muted green glow seemed to show where her fist made contact and she could hear, as well as feel, a wet crunch. The alien made a horrific gurgling scream as she brought in her other hand in a punishing cross strike, the butt of her gun tearing away at the armor on it's face.

Why she never used her gun she wouldn't be able to say, but it just felt so much better, so much freer, to use her fists. As the creature dropped to a knee she swung in her heavily booted foot and smashed her heel into it's hip. Another dull flash of green and the sound of bones being dislocated and broken filled the air. After a few more strikes it was on the ground, not moving, and she finally felt like she was back to being herself.

Turning she looked to see if everyone was okay. "Anyone need medical?" she barked. The rest of the team shook their head, but the Private was on the ground, shaking uncontrollably. His CO dropped down and shook him.

"Saunders, get ahold of yourself!" he said as he twisted the man onto his back.

"It's...I can feel it still in my mind! Get away from me!" the smaller man shoved the hand away from him and started to fumble for his side arm. "I...I...can't fight...you need to stop me Sir!" The Major shot a look at Andi, and she knew what he was asking.

Reaching down to the prone body she hoped this would work, and with a fast and vicious twist broke the creatures neck.

[you're not going too fast, action scenes should be quick :) and I believe I made Andi a Major....will have to look at her bio....]
