Adam moved to catch the failing Anubi, but events were happening so swiftly. The Bain & Hoyle members were erupting into action all around. The icy drama and rescue attempt of Nestor went on above the golem’s head, and Adam skidded to a halt as the Anubi caught his balance just in time. Well. No need for Adam to catch the monstrous guardian, then. While the second Anubi charged off for other quarry, the golem faced the conundrum of what to do with the guardian that had survived Nestor’s icy kiss. 

The golem was still puzzling it out when said guardian’s khopesh came whistling down. 

[b][i]DONG![/i][/b] (Not quite the right sound effect, but I couldn’t resist typing dong. No, I’m not childish at all.)

The monstrous sword had stopped in mid-air… but only because Adam had caught it, clutching the massive blade in between two large dark hands ninja-style above his head. The golem was shockingly, supernaturally strong, but even he had limits, and the guardian of Alexandria had the definite advantage in size. Adam’s arms began to tremble, then the golem thudded heavily to a knee. The ground beneath him shuddered and began to buckle in a concentric series of cracks while the Anubi began to bear its full weight down upon the blade… A blade that inched closer and closer to Adam’s face.

The golem searched his mind, searched all that he had learned and seen since living among humans. Surely there must be something to leverage against the dark canine Anubi, something to defeat them. Adam could only think of one thing. 

“Will you,” the golem grated hopefully, casting his rumbling voice up at the enraged Anubi, “let us go free… for a Scooby snack?” It always worked on the television… but seemed to have little effect here. Adam frowned, wondering where the flaw in his logic was. If anything, the golem’s query seemed to make the guardian madder. The edge of the sword was cutting into Adam’s fedora by then.

“I … require some assistance,” Adam called to whoever was near enough and focused enough to hear. Might’ve been hard to hear with all the gunshots and whatnot going on elsewhere in the area.
