As Mithias was staggering from the repeated blasts, the giant metal thing behind him moved. He could see as it raised a weapon and fired into the nettled warrior. The vampire was of course familiar with guns, and he knew this one was powerful. The only thing he could really do in that moment was to watch as the massive armored robot gutted Lucian with two shots. Then finally, the damn energy blasts came to an end. 

Mithias thought it was over. Lucian would die from those wounds, and quickly, but Valentus' suddenly ensured Lucian's death with a shocking and sickening overkill that Mithias recognized was a powerful use of telekinesis. Gasping in horror, Mithias clutched his shoulder and started backing away from what looked like a giant knight robot covered with some kind of shitty forcefield shields. 

The vampire stared with open mouth at Valentus. He saw the paladin target him and raise its weapon, calling him an abomination and saying something about some asshole emperor. He had to move. Thankfully the hammer was relatively slow compared to his own gift of speed. Mithias darted, rolling back up onto his feet a bit further away, completely expecting to die by some combination of TK and hammer. A few other strange beings were in the area, but none looked helpful. He had no idea how he was going to escape something with those kind of powers. 

Then, a portal opened, releasing a number of very odd metal skeletal beings. They seemed to focus immediately on the hammer-knight and ignore everyone else. This was fortunate, a fantastic distraction. Mithias would learn what sides were fighting and why by watching. He just had to get the heat off himself.
