Normally when Punch is operating in enemy territory, he hasn't been discovered and therefore isn't being shot at, and now that he's being fired at, his options are pretty limited, especially since his powers aren't particularly useful against bullets.
So instead he dives towards the pilot's console, attempting to use that as cover.

Just as Slaughter squeezes the trigger, he is hit by a volley of energy blasts that make the sonic blast miss Agent S and rip open a wall instead, while the supervillain is send stumbling backwards. "Ah, and here come the heroes." A rumbling chuckle escapes his throat before he turns on Seraph, raising his weapon before firing another blast.

Guido's head begins to clear as he pulls himself into the main compartment of the ship. What the slag was he thinking, trying to grease the boss? And thinking he could fly away? Primus on a spoon, he's acting as bog-stupid as everyone thinks he is!
Okay, okay, so how does he get out of this in one piece? Back to the engine controls; maybe he can run the steering from his end of the cables. Yeah, maybe. He shrugs as he bounces from handhold to handhold in the diving, twisting ship, trying to avoid line-of-sight of any of the costumed maniacs, including his boss. Especially his boss. Trying to do something beats sitting around waiting to go splat, right?

Seraph yelps and dodges to the side. Despite being hummingbird-maneuverable, the sonic blast catches her in the shoulder. She's sent spinning back, and there are some spectacular bruises forming under her armor and across her arm.

There is no hole under the floor where Slaughter is standing, but there is a hole in the wall, and the ship is still crashing. Metatron scurries over to Agent S, because she can probably take a hit better than he can, and she whispers to him, "Try to tilt the ship to fling Slaughter out the hole in the wall."
Seraph can fly, so if she falls out, it's no big deal, and Metatron and Agent S can hold onto the chair.

Agent S looks at Sharon. "What the blazes makes you think I know how to fly this thing?" he hisses. He reaches for the controls, but the best he can manage is random fiddling, at least until he can work out any cause-effect patterns of anything he can do.
He hits one button.
The lights go out, so he hits it again and they come back on.
He pulls a lever, and a cup-holder pops up containing fermented alien fish-wine.
He flips a switch, and tentacles pop out of the chair and attempt to feel him up (in a g-rated fashion). He shudders and flips the switch back.
He tries another switch, and the ship surges forward. "Getting close," he mutters.
Of course, since the ship is crashing, 'surging forward' might not help.

Seraph being hit and, judging from the sound of her gasps, injured brings great joy to Slaughter. He so loves it when he gets the chance to live up to his name. Right now, he intends to finish the job, taking aim again, ignoring the flickering lights. But right as he fires the ship start to surge forward, and that along with the force of his blast knocks Octavian off his feet and to the side. He almost falls through that hole, but he manages to grab some cables, and growls in annoyance as he starts to pull himself away from the hole.

With some difficulty, Guido finally clambers back to the engine bay and picks up his end of the severed throttle cable. Great, which wire went where? Shrugging, he touches two wires together, and the ship continues spinning as the spiral drive re-engages. The vessel lurches, and its path flattens slightly--
Unfortunately, the ship is still pointed mostly in the wrong direction--down.
Fortunately, there's a lake conveniently positioned to receive the crashing UFO.
Unfortunately, Guido swims almost as well as he flies....

Oh, look, Slaughter is hanging into the ship by cables. Easily blasted cables. Which, okay, might explode unpleasantly in her face. Maybe she should blast something else.
Like Lord Slaughter!
Seraph raises her hands and slings energy at the supervillain.
Trying to blast Lord Slaughter with player permission.

OOC: Can we segue to where the ship hits the water, the bad guys escape, PCP confiscates the wreckage of the ship, and Metatron pokes PCP?
"You were acting like you knew what you were doing," Metatron replies, quite reasonably.

OOC: Sure.
Of course, the ship can't go on crashing forever! Especially after that nudge that S gave it. It goes crashing into the water, throwing S out of his seat!

Slaughter won't be there when the ship crashes into the water. For while those blasts don't hurt him, they are very effective in making him release his grip on those cables and be send falling away from the ship while screaming sophisticated profanities. He hits the water before the ship does, and disappears out of sight. Looks like he will have to give up his price and swim to the shore!

No problem!
"Hah!" Seraph then bangs her shoulder against a bulkhead as the ship falls faster than she does. It takes a few moments of deep concentration for her to fly at the same rate the ship falls, and the sudden acceleration change as the ship hits the water leads to a lot of cursing as she goes sprawling.

Metatron is roughed up by the crash. Ohnoes.
The first thing she does is try to find Agent S, because he seemed squishier than Seraph.

Agent S probably is squishier than Seraph.
He's been thrown out of the seat in the crash and against one of the bulkheads. His features have blurred a little, and he's become even more nondescript than usual. He's covered in cuts, bruises, and so forth, and it's entirely possible that he has a broken arm, but he can't yet focus concentration enough to even realize that the ship is filling with water.
