The thick vines wrap around my arms and legs like green serpents, holding me suspended just above the forest floor. My rocket launcher lies tantalizingly out of reach, and I can’t help but let out a frustrated growl as I struggle against these botanical restraints. “Well, this is just perfect,” I mutter, my red hair falling across my face as I twist to get a better look at whoever’s approaching.
The irony isn’t lost on me - I can demolish entire towers with a single shot, but a bunch of overgrown weeds have me completely helpless. My cheeks flush with embarrassment and irritation as I hear footsteps getting closer. “Don’t just stand there gawking,” I call out, trying to maintain some dignity despite my predicament. “These vines are tougher than they look, and I’ve got battles to fight.” There’s something almost vulnerable in my voice beneath the bravado, a rare moment where the fierce Firecracker needs someone else’s help.
