Alex saw Shin and Six dealing with enemies and then 066 dart around a corner into enemy fire. Decisions had to be made, so Alex chose to help Six and Shin first before gonig to help 066. The advancing guards were quick. Shin seemed tired. Alex wasn't hurt and he wasted little energy. Growling, he drew an incendiary arrow and ignited the tip along the ground before hefting it into the guards. The group of advancing guards was covered in napalm like flames, the ones hit immediately forced to roll on the ground as they screamed for their lives. The other guards couldn't advance, though they seemed to not wish to. Then, he saw it. A two man crew coming. One held a rifle and the other a shoulder mounted launcher. The rifleman carried ammo for his squadmate. Almost cursing, he saw the grenadier taking aim at the weakened Shin and Six. He took not time in gauging his chances of keeping them alive. He had to keep the guards off of them. [i]Such is the burden of a guardian. Such is the pain of protection.[/i] As the launcher fired, he had moved to and shoved both out of the way. The round hit him square in the back and exploded. His armor was shredded and the clothing under singed off. He was knocked flat on his belly, but he was able to shakily get to his knees. His back was a spiderweb of cracks and between the cracks, blood was seeping down his normally smooth skin. His lipids took effect soon enough, but he definitely looked the worse for wear. His body was cracked and he was bleeding from the cracks. Undaunted, he did what he set out to do and picked up his stolen carbine, flicking to auto fire. He unloaded, in 5 round bursts, the entire mag. He caught the grenadier and his squadmate as well as most of the soldiers behind the flame. He also tossed an explosive arrow that was not yet ruined over to the corner where 066 was. He called out to their de facto leader. "Hit the tip and throw! 4 second fuse!" He was stuck on the ground for now as he regained his senses and waited for an adrenaline rush. He looked at the two he saved and chuckled lowly. "That hurt a bit. Note to self, rockets are pretty effective on me."
