Last spark from the ashes

Blaze quite enjoys tactical finesse when it's suggested. Self-preservation is a happy bonus.

It takes a couple of minutes for her armor to repair itself beyond the critical point, not helped by every void bolt or blow that gives it more work. But once Samus gets to work, Blaze can't leave her waiting. She shoots a couple more of the Vex in front of her, then reloads and backs up to target the minotaurs.

The beam swiftly overloads their shields - better still, staggers the pair for a few seconds. Blaze pumps one with bullets until it falls, then unloads the last of her clip on the other. She stops to reload and smack the Vex closing on her back, heartily wishing she could just drop a grenade here.
