[X] Plan: Diamond Storm!
-[X] Diamondhead.
-[X] Have Minene create a smokescreen around the whole arena.
-[X] Using the cover, run around the arena to create as many spikes as possible, make movement be a nightmare for the enemy.
-[X] once that's done, Andy engages the enemy head on with a sword made of diamond while Minene uses her superior agility for Hit and Runs, hitting whenever there's an opening or when Andy's in trouble.
Andy's heart raced as he looked over to You. With the more explosive qualities of your current powerset, He knew he could count on you. "So what's the plan."
He whispered into your ear and you smiled, 'a diamond blade can chop through that bug like paper.' You thought and readied your bombs as Andy slammed the face down on the Omnitrix.

Michael looked up at the towering Red wall of muscle as said wall looked himself over, an annoyed expression gracing his face. "Ugh, fine, I can work with this."
The head gaurd raised his arm and called. "Begin."
Minene began by firing a barrage of smoke missles to cloak the whole arena in a blanket of mist.
(-1 Energy)
Michael and Cocytus were practically blind and had no idea where they were had it not been for flashes of red electricity lighting up the dense fog. The Armored bug and the balding biker rushed to land one on Andy, only to run head first into a pillar… that wasn't in that spot prior to said mist. The two were so focused on that one pillar that they failed to notice the red lightning making more pillars. Cocytus decided to deal one strong swing to clear the mist and revealed a mess of random pillars and columns dotted throughout the battlefield, courtesy of the Forces of Alchemy.
"What the hell is going on here!" Michael bellowed, trying to keep his footing on the shifting battlefield.
"A clever tactic, but futile," Cocytus retorted, his voice echoing through the fog. "Your ally's smoke will not deter me from my duty!"
"...will this suffice!" Andy quipped, a newly-transmuted spear in hand, the crimson energy having enveloped and transformed one of the pillars into a weapon. He charged through the mist, the spear's tip cutting a swath through the smoke, searching for the armored bug's vulnerable spots.
Minene took to the air, her bombs now a distant memory in the chaos. Her agility, enhanced by her alchemic powers, allowed her to weave and dodge through the fog like a ghost. She struck swiftly, her movements unpredictable and deadly, taking advantage of every opening she saw in Cocytus's defense. The pillar-spear clashed against the bug's bladed arms, sparks flying as the two combatants tested each other's might.
Andy's eyes narrowed as he felt the vibrations from Minene's swift strikes. He knew she had his back, and that knowledge bolstered his own confidence. The spear, now an extension of his will, danced through the mist like a crimson snake, striking at the armored insect with a ferocity that belied his usually calm demeanor. The two of them worked in tandem, a blur of red and blue lightning against the backdrop of the murky battlefield.
Cocytus roared in frustration as he swiped at the air, missing Minene by a hair's breadth. His movements, while powerful, were predictable compared to the nimble acrobatics of the young girl. The smell of ozone filled the air as she teleported around the arena, her alchemic powers allowing her to move faster than the eye could follow. Each time she reappeared, it was to deliver a swift blow to the giant bug's exoskeleton, chipping away at his armor with every hit.
When Minene saw an opening, she jumped into his shell and tossed her phone at Andy, "It's gonna get messy!" She cried.
Andy caught the phone with his free hand and saw a possible route of escape. The spear of red alchemy in his hand crackled with power as he aimed it at Cocytus, the tip glowing with a fiery intent. The air was thick with anticipation, the mist swirling around them like a silent witness to their battle. With a roar, Cocytus charged, his bladed arms whirling like deadly propellers.
The two charged together, only for Cocytus to dodge and ram Andy in the back, flinging him to the stone pillars as the crumbled atop of him. Andy struggled to break free using the muscle from Four Arms to strain against the rubble as he heard your voice on the other end. "Relax, shrimp. I've already got the trump card hot and ready, just call me back on the next one."
Andy was confused. "Next one of what?"
"I am." You sighed, then drained the last of your energy into Andy, completing the last skill and causing the physical phone to dissolve into aether, revealing the now inactive Emulator as it started shutting down for the turn. "I was."
Cocytus felt the stranger on his back fizzle up like boiling water, he mentally scanned his person and found a bomb lodged into the heart of the woman that snuck into his armor. "Man, I hate those monkeys."
BOOOOM!!!
The armored incectoid burst into a blazing explosion with Minene inside, chunks of armor flying across the field, shocking the Gaurdians, impressing the TNC, and distressing Michael and Blake.
"Holy bug bombs, Batman!"
"Cocytus, is he really-?"
"Hold me, Ainz-Darling!!"
"Enough!"
Ainz hushed the monsters surrounding them as Ainz prepared a revival spell the footsoldiers stood their place looking on at the Nine of Shield's hugging players.
"It's okay, man." Michael assured. "It's always the Nat-Ones that go first, you know?"
"Doesn't make it easier." Blake lamented. "I don't want you to go."
"Me either, just… take it easy, alright?"
"A'ight." Blake took a deep breath and broke from the hug, walking away from his friend as Tanya descended towards them to take their Emulator, plop it onto the ground and-
CRUNCH!
"Make it count, pal." Michael smiled as his form dissipated behind.
"Nine of Shield, Eliminated. Corresponding Player 01 Discharged." A synthetic voice spoke, Jen hiding the sight from Andy as much as she could. "Corresponding Player 02 Eliminated."
It didn't matter, Andy held your recharging from in his hands as he held back tears. He had seen a friend seemingly die in flames, he didn't know how he was to go on.
Well, Jen's gonna need a bit of backup getting Andy out of his funk with this next Emulation.
