"Stupid, stupid, stupid!" Fulgurite was muttering to himself as he hobbled along the bottom of the canyon. "One I could have handled, but a pack of them?!" He was still kicking himself after getting into a fight with what he thought was a lone corrupted gem, but the tides had turned against him in a heart beat. He braced himself against the wall with his right arm as his left arm hung limp at his side, sparking wildly with his hand still floating at the end of his mechanical stump but missing two fingers. Both of his legs had suffered major damage as well making it difficult and tiring to walk. Along with his damaged limbs, his gem had taken a straight on blow as well resulting in a hairline fracture going straight through the center of his gem. The only piece if his augments that hadn't sustained damage was his eye but it was rendered almost useless without the addition computational power of his arm to help process the flood of information that was typically drawn into his mind. At this point it was a miasma of static as Fulgurite continued his desperate attempt to distance himself from his attackers but he could hear them starting to catch up.
"Curse the authority! I need to hide." He said slamming his fist against the canyon wall. He looked around quickly and started to hastily make his way to the other side of the canyon to crawl into the one of the many opening from where gems had came out of the earth long ago. Fulgurite dove head first into the hole right as his legs finally game out, landing in a heap just past the entrance. He rolled himself over quickly and pushed himself the rest of the way in and rested against the back of the hole. "Out of sight, out of mind. But not out of sight enough" He said as he used what little strength he had left to summon his weapon and slam it a few times into the ceiling of the miniature cave and managed to knock loose the dirt and stone above him, burying him entirely and closing off the cave. Fulgurite smiled and chuckled to himself as he realized he wasn't as strong as he believed himself to be as his eyes started to white over from the damage to his gem and augments. Soon after his self burial his eyes sunk to half closed as his augments started shutting down one after another leaving Fulgurite buried. He soon lost consciousness, his form barely sustained and useless to him now. These events transpired almost a year ago, and Fulgurite had remained buried and undisturbed since then.
