Rio always had the same problem with using Frenzy, as she called it, ever since the first time she used it: It played hell with her body's senses and reactions. This time it wasn't so bad-- when she came out of her rapid shooting, she could see her companions below starting to regroup.
The blonde only had vague impressions of what happened as her mind caught up with her body: Black lasers, some strange Gra variant, Castiel easily slashing through redworms, everybody starting to make their way over...
"!! Castiel!"
She could see the ground starting to give beneath Castiel's feet. It was the redworms' telltale attack maneuver; burrow from beneath their victim. Castiel was tossed off the ground as the worm burst through the sand, its maw opening wide in anticipation.
Rio stood from her sniping post, her eyes closed. Partially out of instinct, partially as a practiced motion, she pointed at the empty air between Castiel and the worm's mouth. The wind started to billow and wrap around her like a warm embrace as she concentrated.
"Zan!" she cried out, willing the air between Castiel and the worm to explode-- sending Castiel to safety, while hopefully severing the redworm's jaws.
