The quiet was shattered by the sound of heavy gunfire. Followed by footsteps.

Alexander reacted first, teeth biting down on his cigarette. [b]”Hit the deck!”[/b]

Immediately, the House of Cards and Zhu gathered at the front dropped to their stomachs, including the ones manning the machine guns. Just in time. The mansion's front door shattered open as two massive, heavy-set giants stepped out, one hefting [i]their[/i] machine gun.

[i]“So much for the back-up plan.” [/i]Alexander thought.

As bullets tore up their machine guns, Zi acted fast, summoning will-o-wisp ghosts, about ten of them, to face the giants. Immediately, balls of fire were slung at the one giant's hand that wielded the gun, then at his temple, stomach, and legs. The second giant responsible for opening the door was also bombarded with a few rounds of fireballs, aimed for his head, neck, and chest.

While the giants were bombarded, Zi opened portals on either side of the door, about twenty paces away. He raised a hand high from where he knelt, gesturing to the men around him. 

[b]“Get to the portal!”[/b]

In a matter of seconds, House of Cards men rushed into the portals, evacuating to the rooftop to where Jin was. Zi, too, fell back to the rooftop, but not before summoning another ten will-o-wisp ghosts to start bombarding the Undead beginning to shambles out from the door. Fireballs began raining down on the Undead, aiming for the head and neck areas with enough magical power to incinerate.

Alexander was the only one not to retreat. From where he knelt, he surveyed the damage. Two machine guns toast, and the third likely out of commission with the amount of incendiary damage it took.

He quickly pressed the comms in his ear. [b]“Ma, we got company. It originated inside, some kind of summoner. I'mma find ‘em.”[/b]

[code]”Sycamore?”[/code] Came Valencia's cool voice over the comms.

[b]”Nah, nothing Luna woulda reported. The men are safe, but the guns are out.”[/b]

[code]”Take the summoner out, Alexander. I don't care who they are.”[/code]

Seeing the Undead shamble, Alexander could only smirk. They were slow, and he was [i]fast.[/i] And in a burst of speed, Alexander shot forward, the black electrical trail shimmering being the only hint of where he'd gone. Zipping through the crowd of Undead in an instant, he found himself inside the main lobby. He searched rooms, the base of the stars, joining hallways, until eventually, he came around a wall. And he found her, a small little thing with two-tone dyed hair, trying to hide.

Alexander bit down on his cigarette, smirking as he raised a hand. 

[b]“Gotcha.”[/b]

And he unleashed a black bolt of electrical energy directly at her.

Meanwhile, Valencia lowered a hand from her comms, turning towards Blake. 

[b]“We have guests. Whatever protocols you have for intruders, I'd suggest you employ them now.”[/b]
