"Clock's ticking, kid!" cries out Nuclon, as he blasts energy at Dipper's teke forcefield. "I don't know how you got out of that pit I threw you in, but you're not going to stop the meltdown in time. This reactor is filling with radiation as we speak. Before long, even your protective suit won't be enough to protect you, and then...kaboom."
"You want kaboom? I can give you kaboom," says Dipper, and there's a loud KABOOM as his teke explosively slams against Nuclon, knocking him into a wall so hard the concrete shatters. Dipper stands ready for the villain to lunge at him one last time, ready to slingshot him under the coolant valve.
But then Nuclon blasts...past him?
"Did you really think I forgot your little friend?" Nuclon laughs, and Dipper turns to see a massive empty metal vat falling towards Pidge. It's too wide to dodge or fly out from under.
"No!" Dipper doesn't have enough time to fly over and stand under it or fly her out of the way. So he just reaches out with his teke to catch it, stretching his teke field thinner as he exerts most of the force away from himself. He catches the vat and shoves it aside but because of exerting his field that way, it's not shielding himself quite as well.
That's how Nuclon manages to get in a blow from behind that slams him against a metal railing, head first. Dipper falls the ground, forehead bleeding, his teke field flickering out as he falls unconscious.
Nuclon walks over and picks him up, dangling his body by one arm. "I know what you're trying to do," he calls out to Pidge. "Trying to cool me down and then you think you're going to stop the meltdown. But you're going to be a little too busy for that. Trying to save your friend."
With the hand that isn't holding Dipper's arm, he picks up a piece of twisted metal from the floor, damaged by the fight, and uses it to create a tear across Dipper's chest, one that cuts through both transuit and uniform to draw blood.
"Whoopsie." He tosses the unconscious Legionnaire behind him, and tosses the metal away. "Between me and the core, there's a whole lot of radiation in this room. How many rads do you think he's absorbing per minute? 200? 500? I couldn't even say, at this point!"
