Crucible can see the situation getting worse by the moment as he catches glimpses of the robots gaining on Howard, powering his wings all the more despite their protestations from both old injuries and more recent ones. His path turning to intercept as best he could manage.

His view between the buildings clearing just as Howard trips, from the landing and the human's failed attempt at standing that he had injured that ankle. Which made his situation all the more dire with the horde closing in. Not a moment later Howard may notice a shadow pass overhead as the massive dragon swept passed, searching for a suitable landing point.

Finding no other alternative the dragon swept back around, cutting as much momentum as he could before folding his wings in to drop the rest of the distance into the street directly between Howard and the advancing horde, the ground shaking from the impact. Landing not ten feet ahead of Howard, his form casting him in shadow

"Help is here, are you injured?"

He cast but a glance back over his shoulder before he fixed his gaze on the advancing droids with a low, deep growl.
