A jump might work if the Pikes weren't so heavy. As it is, they'd need more acceleration than their boosters can provide. Lacking the patience to try and pick at their shields, Blaze hits the boosters and and swings under the bridge. One minotaur is lagging in its retreat, still firing away as it tries to restore shields. The other makes no special move to assist it.

//What?// No, she wasn't expecting a chat. //Oh- yeah. I follow you.// She leaves the Pike resting against a wall, drawing the second and chunkier weapon at her back. //Everyone knows to take an opening when you find it. After that it-// she leaps up to the far ridge, charging her fusion rifle, //-depends who you're asking.//

She fires an energy beam at the forward minotaur to knock out the rest of its shields. Samus is likely to finish it off before she can. Either way the Guardian's going to jump in there - despite the sudden cry from her Ghost.

//Look out! Picking up a surge of Vex around us!//

The air is darkening everywhere there's high ground, especially the exits to the courtyard. A black mist gathers, already sparking with electrical discharge. They have just a few seconds before the new troops materialize.
