The leader losing his temper was just the lucky break Shandra was looking for. As long as both her and Kroop got inside with as few of the marines as possible, things were looking their way. The leader being one of them wasn't ideal, but sometimes you work with what you got. As soon as she was ordered to mover in, she took the chance Crassnov left by marching ahead to grab Kroop from under his arm as if just worried for her friend. Even if that was partially the reason.
The second one came right as Shandra head Angela yelling from inside the cave, giving her the signal to make a mad dash inside with whatever strength she had left. The dancer practically tossed in Kroop before leaping in herself, trying to give Angela as much time as possible to get a clear shot at the bridge as possible. Looking back, she felt really happy about forgetting that her gun wasn't working. Had she actually managed to knock the woman out with the weapon, she'd most likely just have thrown her life away in whatever terrible plan she'd have made in her state.
Thankfully her plan so far was a success, as Crassnov was still reeling from being thrown to the ground, so even when climbing to his feet he couldn't react in time to Shandra getting a hold of his arm and shoulder-tossing the man into the mine cart they had planned for him. After that it just took a swift kick to the lever next to it to send the man going down deeper into the mines.
Sitting down for a brief second, Shandra tried to catch her breath as she turned to Angela to casually tell her "Oh quit complaining. I got the marine captain with a hostage to follow me, even managing to Kroop to back up our little charade." Now turning to Kroop, she gave him a smile while commenting "Glad you caught on so fast."
While Shandra was winded, Kroop was far worse off, struggling to just get back on his feet even with support from the wall. Still he managed to say in a clear speech "Wasn't hard, you'd never come up with a plan like that on our own. If anything, you'd suggest using the dynamite for the door if the 'keystone' was destroyed." Being the smart one, Kroop was in on the plan as soon as Shandra appeared with the "keystone". Something that wasn't mentioned on the map and in fact contradicted by some details.
Not even bothering to argue, Shandra immediately admitted "Yea, Angela had to point out that'd not work." After a brief second of rest, the dancer climbed to her feet as she said "Well, let's get moving. Our job isn't over yet. Kroop, you stay out of this. Don't want you getting any worse during the big finale."
