Natalia's mind raced through options, discarding each as quickly as they formed. She couldn't freeze all eight marionettes simultaneously without leaving herself completely vulnerable to Reyna's personal assault. She couldn't dodge through the overlapping electrical fields without taking hits that would drop her immediately. She couldn't rely on Skylar to distract them because the smoke would conduct electricity beautifully.
They were trapped in a cage of lightning with a Siren who'd already proven she could adapt to anything Natalia threw at her.
Natalia felt Satori's presence pulse through Sovereign's Mandate, a wordless question that asked if she needed help. She almost laughed. He was about to intervene, probably planning to vault into the arena and solve her problems with that bat and his suicidal grin.
Absolutely not.
