*Xan nods quickly to Sasha, even on her feline features her urgency is obvious.*
Xan: He badhurt! I try to help, but not much I could do before- NO! NO MORE!
*Her face twists in anger as Gordon shoots at Vaseraga and she reacts. She growls and moves towards him, grabbing his gun arm in one paw and keeping it away from her, while trying to sink her teeth into his throat and bite down with the most powerful bite of all big cats in the animal kingdom*

*John looks towards the kitchen, but remains still. He grits his teeth, and hopes Sasha is handling Gordon.*

---
*Gordon looks at Xan in disgust, and something very strange happens. His upper half makes a audible cracking sound, followed by a series of clicks, and then Gordon's head opens into four parts. Each part opens up in a grotesque way, but it appears to 'break' where his nose was, under Gordon's pink flesh is a thick layer of cybernetics. A fist sized cylinder like object extends from where Gordon's nose was, and a bright light glows from within.*
Gordon (In a mechanical voice coming from his chest): You really are all going to die for a strand of hair! Fine then!
*Spikes erupt from Gordon's forearm, as a deterrent from getting grabbed by Xan.*

*Sasha wades forward, and stabs her sword into Gordon's back.*
*She still a little shaken from the explosion, but she is gradually getting her footing back.*

*Lecter lifts Karma to throw it at Gordon, but grits his teeth as a voice enters his mind*
No mortal shall last.
*The Devil Hunter's strength is sapped, and he sinks back to the ground*

*Finnick is walking out the door of the Room with Elewynn at his heels*
Finnick: -Enough, girl! We are done here, that is final.
Elewynn: They need us! Whatever happened, people will die for it.

*Xan yelps and jumps back, bleeding from a dozen or more small wounds, more pinpricks than anything else, dealt by the spiked arm. She growls at Gordon, but can't help to be frightened by his head splitting apart, having never seen anything like it before. She backs up a little until she runs into the wall and looks around fearfully, not fully realizing what she's gotten herself into*

*Jilial stirs weakly at the sound of voices from Finnick and Elewynn. She's a few feet away from the door, collapsed from sheet exhaustion after spending the last 50+ hours awake, digging a giant hole with her hands. Her hands are ruined and bleeding, and if carefully examined then the bone might even be showing in one of her fingers she used to pry up rocks.*

*Mechanical laughter booms out from Gordon, and the cylinder on his head erupts, spewing forth a red beam of energy. He aims for Xan, hitting her arm with the beam, and makes a arc towards Vaseraga, though he misses him..*
*Then his attention turns to Sasha, long silver tentacles slither out from Gordons palms and he tries whip Sasha with them, though again he misses.*

*Sasha swings her sword, and cuts into Gordon again. In response another mechanical roar emits from him.*
*He is visibly more effected by the electricity coming from Sasha's weapon.*

*Elewynn stops following Finnick and shakes her head*
Elewynn: Fin. We have to help.

*The old mage sighs and pulls a small pouch out of a pocket before inhaling some of its contents*
Finnick: Fine. Fucking fine. But I'm not doing this sober. You stay here and make sure the depressed lizard is fine.
*With that, he spins around and marches back towards the kitchen*
*Elewynn nods her thanks to Finnick, and gently kneels down next to Jilial*

*Vaseraga cracks his fists, then attempts to tackle Gordon through the wall. Vaseraga's flesh sears and drops away at the acid, and who knows what the shots from Gordon's gun is doing to his chest, but despite everything, he still wants to kick Gordon's teeth in.*

---

*Beatrix is trying to help John out to the best of her abilities, though who knows what that limit of hers is.*

*Sasha tries to throw herself out of the way of the tackle, but ends up getting partially hit by the barreling Vaseraga.*
*She hits the wall hard, and roars in pain as she receives a fracture to her arm. Her sword clatters to the ground, and immediately shuts off.*

*Gordon get's full on hit, and smashes through the wall.*
*It's cylinder head fires wildly, but fails to hit Vaseraga. Most of Gordon's systems are smashed, and a glowing amber light blooms from his chest.*
Gordon (In his mechanical rasp): Oh it's on now, you are all going to wish you were fucking dead!
*The glowing light seems to be getting brighter.*

*Dr watches from further across in the living room, further away from the kitchen.,*

What is it with you people and causing a damned war!
*goes to duck behind a sofa as no other cover and hope that it not go as bad as it looks but it ain't looking like this is going to end well*

*Major is passed out on a sofa.*

*Xan screams in agony as the laser passes over her arm. The air fills with the stench of burnt flesh and fur as a nasty burn eats into her arm*
*She scrambles away from the huge man tackling the robot through a wall and ends up near Sasha. She's holding her arm and breathing heavily, her eyes wide with shock and panic.*

*Mergoux is roused by the wall smashing and wakes up disorientated. She stares at the giant and robot fighting to the death not 30 feet away from her and groans.*
Mergoux: I'm too old for this s*#&...
*She struggles to her feet, leaning heavily on the wall and backs away, knowing in her current state of health she'd be near useless, not to mention she has no idea who's side to take.*

*Jilial doesn't seem to acknowledge Elewynn, and just keeps trying to move towards the door, weakly clawing at the grass in an attempt to drag herself along. Every pass her hand makes over the ground leaves a trail of smeared blood*
Jilial: Horus.... Horus....
*Her voice is barely above a whisper and croaks feebly, utterly gone and spent.*

*Vaseraga laughs, and pulls Gordon towards him, before attempting to shove his hand into Gordon's chest to try to break the glowy thing, because in Vaseraga's experience, glowy things inside other things are either power-cores or explosives.*
Vaseraga: And you're going to wish you didn't detonate that thing close to me.

*Gordon's speakers laughs.*
Gordon: Not the only thing that is going to blow up!
*The glowing thing suddenly explodes, it's not as powerful as the explosion that happened in the fridge, but still strong enough to incinerate the strange cyborg that was Gordon.*

*Sasha get's to her feet to get knocked down again.*

---
*John is relatively okay, though has a rasped breathing.*

*Mergoux staggers and falls back from the shockwave. She grunts as she lands hard on her butt and makes sure her helm hasn't slipped. She watches the chaos with mild horror, not having seen tech like this before, or indeed a real explosion like this.*
*After several moments she gets to her feet and staggers towards the chaos, trying to see if maybe there's something she can do.*

*Xan screams at the explosion, more out of fear and panic than actual hurt, though her arm still burns immensely. She huddles and transforms back into human form, trying to make herself as small a target as possible*
Xan: No! Loud!

*Dr feels the over pressure effects as blast is in confined area and coughs badly before getting up and walking over slightly shocked*

What's going on...?
Can I help?

*tries to help even if it's small as wants to be able to have a reason to get closer and try and find out what is going on*

...

*Major is woken by it and slowly tries to pull self up but badanaged and med ex wearing off its a effort*

*Finnick swears loudly at the second explosion, and strides into the wreckage of the kitchen*
Finnick: Just as I was about to kick some ass.

*Elewynn produces a canteen and gently rests a hand on Jilial's shoulder*
Elewynn: You must drink.
*Her voice is barely above a whisper, but is wholly sincere*

*Lecter is still unconscious for now, what strength he had has been sapped by Be'lak's fuckery*

*Vaseraga took the explosion completely, and as the smoke clears, the majority of his upper-half is missing, and he is well and truly dead. His scythe in the kitchen loses all of its glow in response to his demise.*

---

*Beatrix wipes the sweat off her eyebrows, and smiles slightly at John.*
Beatrix: You owe me two drinks now. One for earlier, other one for me making sure you don't bleed out.
*She stands up, stretches, then goes to see what's up in the kitchen. She frowns at the Vaseraga sized hole in the wall, and visibly pales as she looks out of the hole. She covers her mouth to muffle her astonished cry, and tears swell in her eyes. Her knees shake for a moment, before they collapse from underneath her, bringing her to her knees as she silently sobs at her comrades death.*

*Xan opens her eyes and cautiously removes her hands from covering her ears. She peers around, blinking dust from her eyes as it settles from when Vaseraga smashed though a wall.*
Xan: All be good now? No more- Oh...
*She spots Beatrix, and judging by the shaking shoulders she thinks her to be weeping.*
Xan: No...
*She gets up and walks to the hole in the wall, then sees remains of Vaseraga*
Xan:...I cannot be helping that...
*She turns to Beatrix and shuffles her feet awkwardly, not knowing entirely what to do. After several seconds of deliberation she crouches down next to Beatrix and puts a hand on her shoulder*
Xan: He be brave. He be saving many lives this day. He be your friend?

*Jilial weakly takes the canteen offered and drinks from it greedily, gulping down the water quickly. She coughs and chokes a little but looks better for it*
Jilial: T-thank you... Must.. Must get Horus...
*She begins to try and claw her way forwards after dropping the canteen, now stained with blood, on the ground carelessly. It's clear her mindset is singularly directed as she wriggles her way towards the door.*

*John nods to Beatrix, then sits listening. He hears her cry, and hopes Sasha is still alive.*

*Sasha get's to her feet again, and looks over at the smoldering remains of Gordon and Vaseraga. She sighs at Vase's death, and shakily walks out of the kitchen. After a moment of looking around for John, she spots him lying on the ground. She wordlessly runs over to him, and checks his vitals.*
John: You okay?
Sasha: I'm fine, Vaseraga is gone.
*John looks guilty at this new revelation, and he manages to look up at Sasha.*
John: You still have it?
Sasha: Yes... who was that John? What did he want?
*John covers a response with a coughing fit, and looks towards the kitchen.*
John: It's... a long story...
*Sasha nods,and does some last minute touches on John. Afterwords John is able to gradually gets to his feet, and limps into the kitchen.*
*Sasha watches John go, looks inside her storage unit to see the small black box with a little window display. Through the display Sasha can see the brilliant strand of red hair, and frowns at it.*
*She thinks in silence, and closes her storage unit.*

*Beatrix roughly shakes off Xan's hand, and stares at Vaseraga's body in disbelief, before her shoulders start rocking again.*
Beatrix: Th-that damn fool... Idiot... Stupid... Reckless... Fool...
*She holds her eyes as she continues crying, but gradually gets to her feet and stumbles back to grab Vaseraga's scythe. She very gently grabs it by the hilt, before picking it up and holding it close to her chest. She sobs as she mumbles something under her breath, which the scythe responds to by glowing a very dull black hue, to which Beatrix cries to a bit more. She then looks up at Xan, and while continuing to hold the scythe to her chest, she stares straight into Xan's eyes, showing only pain and anger.*
Beatrix: Who did this.

*Xan backs away when her hand is shaken off, not wanting to invade Beatrix's space, but still wanting to show comfort. She looks around, shuffling her feet again as she tries to find something to help, then remembers Eustace and Zeta. She is about to run off to find them when Beatrix asks her a question. Xan turns and is taken aback by the cold fury in Beatrix's eyes. She's only seen on gaze like that before, from the hazel eyes of a Half-Elven warrior.*
Xan: I- Man, but not man. His face... split apart... Looked like mech-can-ee-kal bits inside instead of bone and brain. Your friend tackled him through the wall, then I hear big boom and now... I think he dead. I think your friend make him go boom and... he take your friend with him when he crossed the wall... I be sorry... he be brave man, but gone now...
*She looks over at the remains of Vaseraga and cringes at the mess of gore.*
Xan: If he not dead, then he badhurt. Sasha stab, I bite. He badhurt.
*She gives a physical description of Gordon, just in case her intuition about him blowing up is wrong.*
