Unfortunately, barely keeping her alive just isn't going to be good enough for the kind of opponent she is currently facing as it is very easy for her condition to shift to barely alive very soon.
He was stronger than her, faster than her, and could bypass her defenses. She was all but doomed.
He could already defeat her without his new ability. It would just have taken a long time, and it would certainly draw attention. If Purple Cloud and the other gang members had interfered, he would experience a defeat that might end in his death.
But things are different now. Purple Cloud is no more. What is left of her gang are some that barely survived the raid from the Justice League. So they were at their lowest, and he was taking advantage of them.
It didn't look like that, though. It looked like the opposite. Someone new to the scene would think they were the ones bullying him because every member of the gang had literally ganged up on him.
They heard his fight with Ray, so they came to help. They surrounded him and piled on top of him. Their piling would have been more useful if they had nulls with them or they were strong. But the Justice League had gotten rid of those earlier.
In fact, they specifically targeted nulls first to kill them. The identity of the woman he stole was to be a null. That's why he was targeted so many times during the raid. Now that the nulls and the strongest member were gone, their attempt to gang up on him would only lead to a quick death.
He used everything around him as a weapon, including shoes, bottles, and the bodies of others. Anything became deadly in his hands. He could swing someone around as a club and use them to kill ten others. If that person is also equipped with a forcefield ability, they will make for really good clubs.
That's what he used Ray for when people came to help him. Her red armor helped her to remain mostly intact, as she was used to crushing everything around him. The fight lasted two minutes, after which everyone was dead or had run away.
Ray herself was half dead by the end of the fight. Her forcefield had become too weak after he punched many holes into it, so it couldn't protect her from the impact of the many collisions she was forced to have.
Her internal organs were bleeding so bad she was bleeding through her eyes, nose, ears, and lips. She was already unconscious, and her breathing was slowing down. She needed medical help immediately, but Kelvin wasn't going to get her that.
He took her into his special closet to steal her destiny before she died. The process went well for him, but it led to Ray's death. Her Aegis Shield ability was ripped away from her and transferred to him, where it fused with Juggernaut's Force to become Juggernaut's Armament.
Wrath asked impatiently, "How good is it?"
He smiled and said, "It is very good."
Then he told her about the ability. He didn't wait for her to ask since he already knew that was what she truly wanted to know. They have been through too many of these for him not to be able to anticipate that.
The Aegis Shield ability is a forcefield ability, so it fused with the force-based Juggernaut's Force at the cost of 20 game points. It is an ability that can protect from most types of attacks, including physical, force-based, and energy-based.
It has two modes, the passive and active modes. In the passive mode, it can only protect him from one attack. It would also flair up when it blocks an attack. It does this by changing its color from red to purple at a brightness that depends on the power of the attack.
The passive mode doesn't consume a lot of energy after activation. It will only take a large amount of stamina to activate once, but in exchange, it can only block one attack before it flickers and goes out. Its strength is also weak, so it can be easily overwhelmed by something powerful.
If it breaks, he will have to put it back up at great cost to energy or shift to active mode for the full defense mode. In the full defense mode, the ability won't be broken as long as there is stamina and focus. But this comes at two costs. The first cost is that it doesn't protect from force.
The ability behaves like normal knight's heavy plate armor in that it will prevent anything from making physical contact with him, but force can bypass the forcefield and impact him through it. So he can be knocked out by an attack, but his skin can't be cut.
Any energy-based attack like fire won't be able to harm her as they lack little impact, but physical attacks would still be able to impact her.
The second cost is that in order to maintain itself at all times, it won't let any attack overwhelm it. It would rather give up on attacks that are too powerful than have its entire resistance drained to defend that single attack.
When he explained that to Wrath, she said, "So it is just like real armor again. Certain parts of the armor can fail and be penetrated, but the rest would remain."
He nodded in agreement, so she continued. "This has the advantage of not having the same weaknesses that other forcefield abilities have in that once they are breached, they will collapse. But it might disappoint when you are truly up against something too powerful for it."
He shrugged and said, "I don't know what's better. It all depends on the enemy, but I think its constant defense is good. I'll take 50% negation over no negation at all. This way I won't be helpless against someone that overwhelm my forcefield with a single blow."
