Crackling arcs of electrical energy flashed across the battlefield, lashing out with lethal precision every time a bullet struck the bats' bodies.
The frenzied yells of his people added to the mayhem.

The rapid gunfire barely seemed to scratch the horde of Thunder Bats.
The bats retaliated in waves, bolts of violent blue lightning leaping out toward the shooters as if triggered by each impact.
"Aghhh! I got hit!" screamed another voice. One of the fighters, clutching a smoking burn on his forearm, stumbled back.
