The fastest-moving of the owls bounce off of Enzo's force field, but the more slowly swooping ones get through, and some of them are big.
"Oh, frag no!" Enzo snarls. He wrenches his left arm in the direction of the tree trunk near Shufti's branch and fires. The grapnel seizes the bark, and he reels in. Most of the talons scrape against his armoured jumpsuit, more or less harmlessly, but some slice skin. He grits his teeth. Just because sprites don't bleed doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.
It also hurts when he slams into the trunk, but he manages to get a hold of the branch and then of Shufti. "Hang onto me tight, okay?" he says, releasing the grapnel from the tree and preparing to fire again.
"You read my mind," he says through clenched teeth, and fires. The two of them are yanked through the air straight at the gate; Enzo twists so that his feet hit first, bursting it open.
