Pidge ducks, hoping, praying, her small size would save her from the metal vat. But then the shadow that loomed over her suddenly started moving in the other direction and her heart sank.
She could call out to Dipper, tell him not to do it, to stick to the plan. For all the good it would do. She can guess he's acting on instinct and sure enough, it works. Nuclon blasts him away, Dipper goes down and...he's not getting up.
That is, until Nuclon lifts him up and...no.
Pidge twists the valve as hard as she can, letting the coolant flow free and fast, before flying into the air and in front of Nuclon, still invisible. If he's going to make this personal, she's going to go all out.
From behind him, the metal gives a soft "klang" where her bayard connects with it, and then a sharp whip-crack when the cable snaps the metal forward, on target with his back.
She needs to get him down as fast as humanly possible. And she needs to show him only thing he's done is made her twice as determined to save the reactor and Dipper, no matter what the cost.
