Gathering up a sphere of energy in his hands, Advere faces the swarm and releases it towards the piranha. The ball implodes, and then a thin stream of energy fires out from the condensed sphere before turning into an enormous Shadow Wave which envelops a large swathe of the piranha, about 300 in total. After the wave passes, the fish that were caught within it are all disintegrated to some extent- the ones that were in the front are mostly bone, while the ones in the rear still have tattered patches of flesh hanging on their scorched skeletons.

After settling down on the lower tree branches, Damien hoists up his M107 and plants the barrel between two thinner branches, looking out at the swarm. "C'mon... these things are always led by the Ban Ali scouts. Somebody's controlling them..." He sees the hundreds of fish being slaughtered by his allies and zooms in towards the small river that the piranha are flowing in through. "But where?" Suddenly, a bush near the river rustles, just slightly. Damien catches his breath- it could be a squirrel, or even just the wind- but moments later a dark shape shoots out, almost too fast to follow. A gunshot rings out, and there's an enormous splash of blood as the scout's head bursts open. "Boo-yah! Target down!" Well, that takes care of that- but the fish are still coming. They've already been incited to rage by the pheromones- getting rid of the source won't help. Somebody will need to activate the antidote. "It's bound to be near the scout. Or maybe there's a second scout altogether who's responsible for stopping the piranha after they're done. Hmm..." Damien puts the scope back up to his eye and scans the treeline, while below him, the battle rages on.

Taking a deep breath, Fred lets loose a storm of bullets from his M240 at the horde of piranha. The heavy rattle of the gun seems to barely faze Fred, and he continuously fires it at full auto until every bullet in his magazine is depleted. In the thick swarm, every bullet found its target, and more often than not, every bullet ripped its target in half. 10 seconds into the battle, there's already hundreds of dead piranha held off by the static line set up by the group. Seems like a good idea, but if they overrun us, we're ♥♥♥♥... Fred ducks to reload, quickly slams a new box mag into the rifle, chambers a round, and pops back up just as Damien fires off a round above him. "Boo-yah! Target down!"

Gripping the MGL-140, David fires off two high explosive grenades into the incoming swarm, which send concussive shockwaves that rip through the piranha, killing dozens of them instantly. Before the smoke even clears, more piranha quickly show up and the horde grows in intensity; some piranha get past Advere and the wall of gunfire coming from the group behind him, so David whips out his PDR and mops up the stragglers that try to attack him. "Dammit, there's so many of them!"
