Planet Illysia wrote:"Most unfortunately, there are certain peoples who would rather see your quarry continue to live." Said the figure, who had a posh, light English accent. "More unfortunately, you curs are so backhanded that I would rather not suffer any of you to live."
"Solange..." Ace whispered to himself.
The figure pointed his palm at the crowd of enemies. A halo of hardlight formed behind him. "Destruction!"
Literal giant needles of thunder shot out in a barrage around him. They homed in on the crowd in a way that wouldn't strike the League.
Ace immediately jumped up and rained down his entire magazine on the Thalmor. "MOVE!" shouted the outlaw to his comrades.
A large amount of soldiers were taken down in the ensuing chaos of thunder and bullets, as well as a few archers, the casualties numbering at around 17 out of 40, counting the reinforcement of five that had come along from the southern hall, charging towards the group as the team finally dispersed. The reimaining archers let off two rounds of arrows at the ground below, the gang dispersing as Klawguttah used his arm plate to tank a few arrows, and Zorro had disintergrated a few arrows with his lightsaber, as one Thalmor trooper charged to him, Zorro tripping the man and then thrusting his blade into his back before turning around and bisecting a soldier, and then being challenged as he parried off swings by the enemy troops.
"He thinks we're hopeless, eh? Silly gringos. They never understand." Aguila said as he shot upwards with his jetpack and pulled out two double-barrel pistols, firing upon the archers in something akin to Reaper's Death Blossom, which luckily the missed shots were in the walls and hadn't damaged anything valuable.
Quickfist and Klawguttah, in the meantime, were preoccupied as the Filipino girl charged towards a pair of soldiers and ducked under their sword swings before jumping up and punching them several times square in the face and then backhanding them, then challenging a trio of troops, backflipping off another soldier's shield as she grabbed the seconds' head in midair and slammed him into the first on feet-first, then throwing him into a wall with such force it went into the botany room and had shattered the bulletproof glass where the carnivorous plant was being encased, the creature staring down at the dazed elf as, within a moment, it had gone in to violently bite on and eat the poor medieval-fantasy trooper. Quickfist then finished the job by roundhouse kicking the third trooper, knocking him to the ground before she took him down by slamming the bottom of her palm against his head, knocking the elf out cold.
Klawguttah, on the other hand, facing off against a group of archers upstairs after grabbing another guarding swordsman and throwing him across the room into an archer, then quickly pulling out his Nock gun and firing a volley of eight super-powered rounds into a line of archers and incapacitating or killing them all, laughing as he did so, then looking to Aguila flying around as he spun around to slash one of the soldiers with his metal wing, and with the lance in hand he had managed to impale a soldier through the chest and pointing it to the floor as the heavily-armoured bowman landed on the man Zorro was busy fighting.
Guido got in on the action too, having grabbed four arrows and rapidly firing them accurated into the soldiers' torsos, then aiming his pistol crossbow upwards as he fired a grappling hook as swung onto the side of the railing upstairs, leaning over the side and looking onto the ground as he tied a rope from the hook around himself, and then started picking off a few soldiers with his bow.
Seeing all his men be turned to mere bodies in the midst of the battle, Sinyail had gone to fire his crossbow bolt at the new, lightning bolt-slinging figure, chambering another round and firing it at ace, before he ran out of bolts and went to to run out of the building through the botany, but not before the 11-foot-tall man-eating plant had gone and engulfed the poor Altmer down to his upper torso, swinging its' giant mouth upwards in order to continue swallowing him down like a chicken eating sauerkraut.
As the battle calmed down and all but 6 of the footmen had been dispatched of, which hopefully the mage or Ace would simply take down, Guido fired off one last shot and incapacitated one golden troop before jumping off and rolling for safety, dusting off his hero getup as he went over and overheard the commotion at the botany.
"Er... amiga?" Guido asked.
"Si?" Quickfist replied, wiping some blood off her metal knuckles from before, as he nodded towards the hole in the wall, which showed the poor officer getting chewed up like sausage meat as blood ran down the plant's bottom lip.
"You think we should've saved him? I think we could've needed something from him." Guido asked with concern.
"Come on, from him? He's a Sangrelfa, what'd you want to trust in him for?" Aguila chuckled loudly, Quickfist rolling her eyes as she looked over to the magical lightning wizard.
"So... nice gadgets you got going on here, gringo. Tell me... who in the Holy Roman fuck are you exactly?" Quickfist wondered.
