She kept her eye on Yang, the one Gilda thought posed the largest threat. She heard the crane, but was a bit too busy to worry about what could make that sound. The yellow haired girl was doing...something. As the she pointed her arms up at Gilda, the Thanagarian got the general idea. She knocked to shots right back at the girl using her mace before she was distracted by something her ankle.
As she glanced down she felt two of the shots hit her. It hurt, a lot, but she would live. Now what was thi-Woah!!! At least she knew what had grabbed onto her now. Gilda's eyes followed the crane's cable up to it's origin. "There." Gilda said, righting her self and quickly flying up to the crane, smashing it's arm off and then shearing the hold off her ankle to let the large metal piece fall to the ground. "My turn," Gilda said, grimacing at the pain in her ankle.
She flew down towards Hotwire, diving down and then turning just as she was about to hit the ground, staying low and then, arms fully extended away from her chest swung the mace up at Hotwire, then in a downward slash and finishing her combo off by swinging in a full circle at waist level, her mace's shielding sparking the whole time.
