In what felt like slow motion he watched as the solder man raised his gun and opened fire on the fleeing bunny girl... known locally as a Pooka it seemed. Yes, a part of him noticed that Samus had also fired a missile at her from what he could tell it was aimed [i]ahead[/i] of the girl, no doubt designed to bring her to a halt rather then... well, bringing her to a [i]halt[/i]. He did make a small mental note that Hapu had gotten Mudsdale to try and knock the Pooka girl off balance; He would have to think of some kind of reward for her attempt at non lethal force. He didn't want an innocent girl to die or get crippled for life just because she happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but the bullets were already flying and there was nothing he could do to stop them. It turned out, he didn't need to. Someone [i]else[/i] had stepped in to do it for him. The shadowy knight (Oswald himself if the reaction from Brigan was any indication) had magically appeared and him and the giant general started a fierce, brutal exchange between each other. While the two were locked in combat and hopefully were two preoccupied to listen to what he might have had to say, Luigi softly ordered "[color=00a651]Samus, Hapu, Amaterasu; While the rest of us keep these two busy, I want you to slip away and follow that Pooka girl. I am ordering you to find Gwendolyn, secure her and the ring and get her out of this castle as quickly as possible. I would rather you didn't leave a body count, but I'll trust you to make whatever calls you need to.[/color]" Almost as an afterthought, Luigi threw what appeared to be a small bag with [i]most[/i] of the seeds that he had been given when the mission started. There was however one still in his hand; A [i]Napple Seed[/i] if he recalled correctly. Glancing around for a moment, lucky would have it that he spied a bit of cracked tilt on the floor that betrayed dirt underneath it. Ducking down, he quickly planted the seed before standing back up and reaching behind his back to remove what appeared to be a power hammer of a similar make to that of his older twin. "[color=00a651]James! Edward! Attack![/color]" He cried out, charging towards Oswald with a surprising turn of speed with hammer at the ready; While he took a rather showy swing at the shadowy knight, the point wasn't to truly hit him. It was to draw his attention so that he wasn't focusing on the members of the party that weren't fighting him and dodging the counter attacks so he didn't die doing so. He trusted that Samus, Hapu and Amaterasu not only had the skills required to track down the Pooka, but also to deal with just about any other obstruction that might get in their collective way. It was a gamble to split the party, but time was a factor and the sooner the girl was recovered and gotten to safety, the better. That fact that this also meant that the party could secure the girl without Brigan being in a position to try and double cross them before they were away from the castle was just an added bonus.
