Seeing the Manticore trying to escape, Mauve launched a stone-Dust projectile at it with her left weapon, her right shield preoccupied with absorbing the barrage of incoming fire. She managed to knock one of its legs loose just as it was shifting its weight, slowing it down significantly before rushing forward after Honara, blocking several rounds for the girl.

Mauve proceeded to collapse her left weapon, using her free hand to hold the drone's head and punch it with her right cestus, crushing it entirely before engaging the main group of the enemy fireteam in melee range. She tripped one of them, slamming her knee into her head as she blocked a buttstrike from one of the soldiers, following up with a strike to the man's chest and another to his jaw, taking both soldiers out of the fight.

To her surprise, the Manticore drone whose head she had crushed turned to her and launched a volley of cannon fire at her at close range. She managed to block the shots, but only just, her shock at how much damage it was still operating with keeping her off-balance enough for one of the Fang members to hit her in the back with a shotgun, knocking her down.

Mauve found herself struggling to fend off the razor-sharp claws of the crippled Manticore with her shields, but felt her Aura draining. With a frustrated growl, she froze its front legs to the ground with Dust from her right gauntlet of Valorous Will on its next strike, shattering one with an elbow and rolling out from under it, freezing the drone's torso and shattering it with another blow. "An' stay down!"
