Before the war machine could fire the beam, Persephone stopped him. A large ice hand rose up and clamped itself over Halion's maw and head. It was too late for the machine to stop the charge, and the ion beam detonated at point-blank range, obscuring Halion in the smoke. Ice shards and bits of the beam still punched through, wrecking havok on Persephone's skin and making the Queen grit her teeth as she staggered to one knee... but it was better than it could have been.
She watched as the smoke cleared, and Halion stood there, smoke billowing from his opened maw... and then, he toppled over backward a victim of his own firepower. That was just what Persephone had been hoping for, and now it was time for sweet revenge. She aimed her hammer right at the machine, and a frozen beam spiraled out, blasting into Halion's frame. The machine groaned as metal and armor froze over and cracked, while a few weaker areas even shattered, exposing even more circuits. Then, she bent the very ice to her will once more. Water began to rise up from the surface, and all around Halion they began to surface, sharpening and freezing over into a floating array of icy daggers, all aimed at the now recovering mecha.
"This is the end for you, Halion!" Persephone boasted, as she swung her arm down. At once, the horde of daggers flew at the machine like a horde of bees toward an invading bear. Halion retaliated, swinging his mighty mace at them, and shattering them by the dozens, but he couldn't keep them all away. Several went right into his circuits, and the machine began to stagger back as his internals were being damaged and sliced apart, sparks flying from within. As he was forced back, Persephone bent the ice behind him, forming a gigantic Iron Maiden, just for Halion. One more step, and she'd slam it shut on him, and the machine would be skewered from all angles by the frozen spikes within...
