Knowing what is happening and no time to do otherwise Krystal puts all she has left, no matter the pain into the forcefield even if it is to just angle the explosion that is bound to come away from the people. "Balus go, I will do my best!" She says realizing that if he is close enough to the bomber he too might be able to deflect the blast, maybe enough to protect the innocents!

"Crystal, get Fegh out of there!" Balus said, coming to his feet and breaking into a run. " Give me some cover to keep him preoccupied." He called to the shooter team as he charged the bomber.

Krystal in the split second has to debate which order to follow having already thrown up the forcefield. It is at that moment with her inability to make a decision that she tries to keep the forcefield up and her brain finally dawns on her that maybe she has an attack that can work here. One that could knock the badguy out...or potentially. Using both hands and subtracting the SDC from the forcefield to do it.

A laser beam cuts open the bomber's windpipe, instantly cauterizing so all you hear is a quick weezing noise. Similar beams hit the bombers knees and elbows with surgical precision. Fegh's tail whips out, a double axe blade of energy extending from it to slice the man's gun hand clean off, while the one holding the deadman switch depresses - a final, impossible act.
Krystal's force bolt collapses her forcefield but sends the bomber into the air, as Balus tackles him.
The good news? Balus and the bomber crash through one of the tower windows, getting clear of the civilians.
The bad news? Balus is now 300 feet in the air.
Oh, and the bomb goes off.

After the bomb goes off Krystal only has one thought in her mind and that is the safety of Balus, even as she shouts out his name. Not sure how much even his invulnerable frame can take causes her no matter how weak she is to spurn to action and blasting off after him in an attempt to if anything slow maybe his decent, or be there should the absolute worst happen.

Balus felt the blast just after he and the bomber went out the window, which was the only thing comforting about the whole situation. His mild fear of heights threatened to make him lock up as he looked down at the ground rushing up to meet him. Instead, he forced himself to spread his arms like he had seen skydivers do to slow down, hoping it would work well enough with his massive frame that he might survive the impact. The one thing that suprised him was the roar of the wind, and how it drowned all other noise out.

Krystal, as you fly out you see Balus jackknife into the air, followed by his rapid plummet into the runway.
Balus, you spread your arms and legs out, only to bellyflop into the concrete, creating a Balus-sized impression of yourself two feet deep into it. Not your most dignified moment.

Almost out of instinct, Krystal yells as she zooms down, "Baaaaaaaaaaaalusssssssssssssssssss." Landing next to the hole and waiting for him to move. (Dang, why did wife pick robin hood prince of thieves recently. That is all for some reason I can picture, it being Balus instead of robin....)

"That'll leave a mark..." Balus sputtered as he started to get to his feet from the crater he had created. He looked at Crystal and forced a smile, " Guess I don't bounce well."

Balus and Krystal see emergency medical teams converging on them. The crisis appears to be over, for the moment.

Seeing that balus seems fine and without a second thought Krystal grabs him in a hug and gives him a kiss not having a care in the world for that fraction of a moment before out of the exhaustion of having her forcefield depleted twice that she passes out.

Balus, suprised by the kiss, was quick to catch Crystal in his arms, holding her gently as he made his way away from the incident scene to let her rest safely.
