Tuss Unleashed, Everyone Saved

Tuss yearned to plunge into the swarm of insectoids, but his strength fell short, and he could not penetrate their ranks. Gritting his teeth, he split his attention between his own battle and watching Yuri's situation from the corner of his eye. Having lost his legs, his fighting prowess had been greatly diminished. The moment his attention divided, the insectoids found an opening. Their razor-sharp claws tore through his abdomen.

Tuss grunted, his blade slashing at the offending claw, but the insectoid withdrew its claw faster. Blood flowed freely from Tuss's wound, but he fought on as if it was nothing, still distracted by a familiar figure not too far away.

"Watch out for its psychic power!" Tuss suddenly warned.

No sooner had he spoken than Yuri was struck by a wave of excruciating pain in her head, almost bringing her to her knees.
