Breaking capricorn's walls

The zombies jogged and marched all around them. Teams of zombies were deploying to set up heavy laser cannons, aimed at the walls of spiky black rock with amber veins running through them.

A zombie pulled on a lever. The laser cannon glowed, then fired its beam, two feet thick, into the wall. Tile shattered, the softer material beneath disintegrated, and metal melted. The laser was moved gradually, to tear through more wall.

Capricorn and Antares used their powers in alternation. Stone wall, then forcefield. Wall, then forcefield. The attack was relentless, not helped by the fact the Speedrunners were spearheading the attack.

Antares tore apart a section of protective sheeting that covered a sensitive area of wires, and used that as added protection. Laser beams and bullets tore into anything they tried to put between themselves and the enemy.

"Knock knock!" was the voice on the far side of the wall. Obnoxious and loud.

"That's Imp," Tristan said.

"Back up!" Antares called out.

Then she smashed the wall.
