One moment Rox was maneuvering to stand up, the next moment she was flying backwards through the air, all sense of balance lost. A curse started to escape her lips before being abruptly cut off as all the wind was knocked out of her. Rox rolled over quickly and lunged at the dracon gun, expecting the controller to do the same.
It wasn't until she had the weapon in hand that she simultaneously began coughing to regain some air in her lungs, and noticed that the controller had moved in the opposite direction.
"What-"
*Cough* *Gasp*
"What did you just do!?" She knew he had just pulled some kind of move, but wasn't sure what that move was. Rox pointed her weapon at Justin, then repositioned it so that it was pointed at Justin correctly.
Rox briefly considered just forgetting about the stupid "protect your identity" rules and run for it. And if it had been someone else who had discovered she was an animorph, she probably would have done just that. But this guy was a controller, so if he somehow got away before the right people got here, then for the rest of her life Rox knew she would be paranoid. Paranoid that a slimy slug would crawl into her ear in the night and take over her brain.
Rox slowly started walking sideways so she would have a better shot at the guy if he tried anything. Her elbow was bleeding and he back was sore, but those were the least of her worries right now. "What did you do!?" Rox repeated.
