She's a lot closer than she was, now, and Blaze could make the bound to the beacon from here. Safe to assume it's going to cost her at least one more death, but a Guardian takes that in their stride. The tricky part is going to be getting the beacon away from the explosives intact...
Nothing to do but risk it. She sprints, leaps, and pulls on the Light to make it another arcing jump over the death-laden snow. Her boots come down less than a foot in front of the beacon. She grabs, twists, hurls it like a javelin. It sails across the snow, over the riven field, into the great snowdrift at the end of the park.
And behind it, Blaze... explodes again. It's fine. She'll be fine. Just give her a few moments.
Only a few moments may be too many for Natalie and her team. Behind them, a flicker of steel shadow in the snows becomes the gleam of an electric corona- and then a rifle shot lances up at Volcarona, blue-white and hissing with electrical energy. It's curving to match the Pokemon's flight- Volcarona needs to evade hard. And fast.
Ghost's voice on the radio is belated for both of them. "Detecting energy signatures behind us. Look out!"
