With a quick slice, a nasty gash appeared on poking fiend stretching from its shoulder to to its side. With a silent, muffled scream, the cube fell over and bled many of hundreds of tiny cubes. The maiden clapped jubilantly in perhaps her most expressive emotions yet as one could tell her voice had gone up a solid 3 decibels, "Thank you valliant knight, you have done well." Out of everyone she had waken up thus far, this man at least looked the part although he'd probably also be longer over due for a face lift. Maybe botox, just maybe, "Unit B2-DS3.12, Stage One status: Complete. Activating Stage Two."

The stage shifted and churned once more as blocks in the walls and floor began to divide like plant cells. Soon the ground and walls sunk in on themselves, covering the hall in few barrier but plenty of trenches and out coves. The Maiden appeared at the end of the hall, floating just a few inches off the ground. With a swipe of her hand, two additional geometric minions appeared, unlike the others she had summoned thus far. The first had a round shield along with their stick, the second had a shotgun, the scattering of pellets effectively cancelling out their terrible aim. And with a blast of shot, the two comrades began their battle against the knight, charging forth.

Caught off guard by a sudden shift in tactics, the pixel ninja was thrown off guard and forced on to the ground. No amount of parrying stances could stop the violent smashing of its flat face. It had long dropped its club and gone limb until the brutal assault of Cedro stopped smashing its head in. Thankfully since this is all pixelated, there is no need to censor any of it unless you happen to be a cubekin*. Even the gunners seemed apathetic to the death of their friend, still just firing off like blindfolded madmen on some serious drugs. Apparently though, drugs make them aim better as one of them got a lucky glancing hit on Cedro's outer thigh.

[sup]*No cubekin were hurt in the making of this[/sup]
