As the battle raged on, the team's strategic maneuvers and swift reflexes allowed them to gain ground within the treacherous confines of the B site. They decided to split up with Raze, Killjoy, and Omen deftly navigating the B elbow, their flanking tactics created a decisive distraction that forced the enemy to divide their attention and resources, providing (Y/n) and Sage with a vital window of opportunity to confront the imminent threat within the heart of the B site. Sage and (Y/n) witnessed another enemy that resembled their teammate, this time it was Sova and Jett. 

Jett's swift movements near the Radianite box mark a question, their focus shifted instantly to the urgency of the situation. "Sage, what is she doing over there? Is that some kind of device she's carrying with her?" (Y/n) questioned with a hint of concern in his voice, his eyes trained on Jett's actions.

Sage's brows furrowed as she surveyed the scene, her mind racing to assess the potential threat posed by the enigmatic device. "I'm not entirely sure, (Y/n). It seems like some sort of spike mechanism. We can't let her complete whatever she's planning," Sage replied with a resolute tone, her eyes narrowing as she calculated their next course of action.

(Y/n) nodded in agreement, his expression reflecting the intensity of the moment. "Yeah, we can't let her get away with that. Let's put a stop to it," he affirmed, his grip on Mjölnir tightening as he readied himself to confront the looming danger.

Sage's keen tactical acumen guided their movements, her astute awareness of the battlefield allowing her to anticipate the impending assault from the opposition. They meet with Sova as he tries to protect Jett in planting the spike. With Sova's shock dart hurtling towards her, Sage prepared to defend herself, bracing for the impact of the electrical discharge. However, before the shock dart could find its mark, (Y/n)'s decisive action came to her aid, his Storm Shield materializing with swift precision, interposing itself between Sage and the incoming attack. The crackling energy dissipated harmlessly against the impenetrable barrier, its protective force shielding Sage from the full brunt of the assault.

Seizing the moment, (Y/n) and Sage responded with calculated precision, their synchronized gunfire raining down upon the advancing enemy forces. After planting the spike, Jett, in a display of her characteristic agility and evasiveness, swiftly disengaged from the front line, utilizing her nimble dash to withdraw to a position of safety, eluding the relentless barrage of bullets trained in her direction.

Sage's expert marksmanship remained unwavering, her Specter finding its mark with unerring accuracy, the resounding impact of the shot forcing Sova to retreat momentarily, his left arm bearing the brunt of the force as he regrouped and recalibrated his strategy. The swift exchange of fire within the B site echoed through the corridor, the resolute determination of the team propelling them forward as they sought to secure the pivotal Radianite and eliminate the threat posed by their enigmatic adversaries.

Raze, Killjoy, and Omen's flanking maneuvers yielded successful results, their strategic advancement propelling them into an advantageous position that enabled them to apply pressure from the side, further disorienting the rogue Radiants and disrupting their coordinated assault. Omen's ethereal shadows swirled and coalesced, his manipulative illusions creating diversions and distractions that sowed seeds of confusion among the enemy ranks, while Raze's precise use of her shotgun effectively dismantled any attempts at creating fortified defensive positions.

With their coordinated efforts and strategic maneuvering, the team effectively seized the upper hand, wresting control of the B site from the grasp of their adversaries and setting the stage for a decisive push toward victory.

As the tension escalated and the situation grew increasingly dire, Sage, (Y/n), and Killjoy found themselves racing against time to thwart the impending detonation of the spike device. With Raze and Omen valiantly holding the enemy at bay, the pressure mounted as they focused on the critical task at hand.
