It was working. Heather ducked her head back in, hiding behind one of the upturned tables, a causality of Bart’s fighting style. Trixie was trapped, cut off from the others, and quickly running out of air. Suddenly, though, she felt it, someone attacked her shield. It weakened the hold by a small fraction, but that attack plus the strain of holding such a shield fully encircling Trixie was starting to strain her. Sweat started to bead on her forehead, and she heard a snarl across the room.

"You fucking bitch!"

There was a loud snapping noise, and Heather peered around the edge of her hiding place to find the blonde women stalking through the room, destroying even more furniture to find her. She winced as the woman unleashed another crack of her magic whip, getting even closer to her hiding place and drawing the attention of the metal armed woman.

Mordie hadn’t responded to her call. Neither had Kenneth. They must be tied up with fights of their own. Whoever this group was, and despite their lack of subtlety, they were good. But how to take out these two? Her eyes landed on the girl across the way, her victim, gasping for her final breaths while her guns lay around her.

Her guns...

Taking a deep breath, Heather slide out from the side opposite Amy and dashing through the tables, skidding to a stop behind the young trickster. As she slid into place behind Trixie, Heather released the shape of the shield, allowing it to snap out around them in a semi-circle of protection. She grabbed the young girl, holding her around the throat with her arm, and grabbed one of the uzi’s in her hand, the other kicked behind her.

Now that should have their attention - and if it didn’t, this would. She placed the uzi against the girl’s head.

“Now then, enough of this madness.” From the corner of her eye she could she Bart had pinned down the other two. “Bart finish them now!” Flicking her eyes back to the two women before her, she smiled. “As for you two, if you want this little brat to get out of this alive, I suggest dropping your weapons and surrendering.”

"Dylan love, thank you for the escort! Ah believe ah'm safe back here. But maybe you should help our darling out - all those nasty brutes n' their wild bear. This doesn't seem too fair, dunnit?

“No,” he said softly as Mordie slipped from his protection, ready and willing to shoot up the bear. Still, something felt off about it. The enemy had summoned a bear. Why did that feel so familiar? And how did one go about fight a beast like that? He could something something small to combat it, but if he went for anything big he’d need to discard the oil slick.

"But that's okay. Ah'll help out too."

Mordie forced him to action, shooting her gun at the bear. Unfortunately, it didn’t look like it did that much damage. Placing his chalk to slate, he quickly drew up a weapon for Lisette. Perhaps together and she Mordie could take the beast down. The bow appeared in her hands, and the quiver with arrows slung over her shoulder. Since he had to keep the grease trap up, he wasn’t able to give her much to work with, only five arrows.

“Make it count!”

I have not seen WiR. But that gif looks amazing - and that sig will be terribly distracting. I'm already mesmerized by Rex's tho...

Mordie reached down and snatched up a weapon for herself, much to Dylan’s relief. He was quite capable with his magic, but it always helped when he worked in tandem with a partner rather than as defense.

"Quite frankly, ah dunno how to fight. But ah know how to make things hurt. All ya gotta do is just surrender - n' ah'll boot y'all out the GD with no more trouble. That's all there is to it! But if that's not appealin' to ya, then..."

“Good, good.” She was offering them an out, that’s what the good guys also did. Dylan nodded his approval, his head bouncing vigorously, when all of a sudden his hair fell to the floor. For a moment he stared at the blonde wig, trying to piece together what was happening. Why was he wearing a wig? Why was he wearing a dress? There was something nagging at the back of his mind, a repressed memory and a nagging sense of urgency, but he shoved it aside as Jerry busted in.

Mordie giggled at the lifeguard's anguish. "More fun for me, ah s'pose. Girlie," she cast her eyes towards the archer, who stood off to Dylan's side. The woman brought a finger to her teeth, almost biting on it seductively - and she winked the moment Lisette looked her way. Her gun's barrel never left Lucien's direction. "Please, help me! Dylan baby, you too? Ah'm surrounded by big, strong, scary brutes, n' ah don't think ah can protect myself..."

The need to protect her suddenly seemed...less encompassing. It was startling to him, going from a complete and unstoppable need to a strong inclination. But still...it was Mordie. “Of course,” he pulled her backwards, pushing her towards the dressing rooms. “Let’s get you somewhere safer, Lisette cover us!”

Bart leapt forward, eager to take down the trio, but Heather was forced to stop protecting him as Trixie came about, guns blazing. Luckily, her bullets weren’t that strong, but they were shot so erratically it required all of Heather’s concentration to repel.

Bart gave a cry of pain, causing her to whip her head over. He was sliced from behind by the metal-armed girl. “Bart!” she called, as she glanced around the room, surveying the enemies. There was the pistoled child, the large beserker, the metal-armed girl, an electricity mage, and..the blonde woman. She was clearly casting spells on the others. Could she be aiding them?

Raising her had to her ear, she called out on the radio. “We need aid in the casino room.” Spinning around, she dismissed her shield and ducked under a table and out of Trixie’s line of sight. What she was about to attempt would be hard, but if it worked...

Heather slid out from under the table, she caught the prankster in her sights. Taking a deep breath, she summoned around shield around the young girl. If she fired her guns the bullets would rebound right on her, but more importantly, she was completely surrounded. What air was in there was all she had left, and the more she struggled the quicker she’d use it.

Geez Pach, are you trying to collect all the cute, talented ladies of the site? LOL.

Looking forward to the next chapter. As fun as this has been, it's been a bit draggy and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next. And sorry for the posting delay. Stupid busy Saturday, seeing people, doing stuff. Hopefully that doesn't happen again!

EDIT: Fox, read my post! That should help explain things. Gah. TIMING!

Los Paraisos: The Grande Diamond: Pool Room

Why was Mordie leading them into a pool room? Was there a secret exit around the back? The chatty security officer was going on about how nice and safe the room was - though Dylan didn’t feel particularly safe - before she suddenly turned and pushed Lucien into the pool. “Lucy!” he cried out as he hurried over to the pool’s edge. Dylan glanced over his shoulder. “What was that for?”

"Ah may not be from 'round 'ere, but ah'm not dumb. If ya wanna play fool with me, ah'll play too." Mordie snapped a finger in Dylan's direction, locking her eyes with his own. "Lemme see what ya got, hun." With a smile as impish as ever, she winked at the artist.

Something in him...changed. In that instant his sense of the fight, of the mission, of loyalty, shifted so quickly that he didn’t even notice it. He slowly got to his feet, act and summoner forgotten, as he reached for his slate and chalk. He had to protect Mordie, because that was his job. Protect the innocent and the helpless - be a good Guilder.

The Bros had abandoned Lucy to his fate and were now approaching Mordie. He began to sketch on instinct, knowing nothing aside from the fact that he must protect her.

"Oh my," Mordie cooed. She remained in place. "They're comin' right after me, Diane, darling..."

“Diane?” He asked, confusion evident in his now masculine sounding voice. “It’s Dylan...” he muttered, the whole infiltration, act, and secrecy gone from his mind. That was another mission, another goal, another story. He shook his head, feeling a bit sluggish of mind, and noticed that his hair was far longer than it should be. “What on Ddear?”

He would deal with that later, now he had to protect Mordie. Finishing his sketch, he imbued it with power and willed it into life. In his hands he held a glass bottle of oil, which shattered when he threw it at the Bros feet. The grease-trap spread along on the side of the pool, making the already slippery ground unwalkable. He grabbed Mordie around the waist and pulled her back. “I got you.”

Xandra’s arm swung true, but with closed eyes and a bit of concentration Heather was able to stop the attack before it connected. The hammer hit one of Heather’s shields, pushing against the invisible barrier of magic that she created, before she filled the shield with energy and forced the blow backwards before the magic dissipated.

“Well, well, if it isn’t my girl Heather. Much obliged, beautiful,” Bart raised his head to see Heather standing a small distance away, her eyes opening after her brief need for concentration. “I definitely owe you that green tea now.”

She rolled her eyes at his quip. “Just finish her.” Bart stepped forward, crushing the girl’s metal wrist in his hand before flinging her across the room towards the others. Stepping beside him, she threw up a shield that blocked them both. It was a thin line of rippling energy, barely visible to the naked eye, but strong enough to resist the heaviest of blows. At least for a little while.

“What now?” She asked as she stared at the most beaten group. Bart had managed to beat them up pretty roughly, but he had yet to take a single one of them out. “Stop screwing around and finish it!”
