Chapter 87: Arc 2, - 65: Clash
"There's only one way out!?" Lexi gripped her staff tighter.
"Dozens, at least a hundred of us are just left here stranded?" a ginger woman, Jiana Kirk sounded out, "Why does Kowalski get a way out and I don't!?"
"Kowalski jumped ship before the operation was a go. I'm the prime target here, I need to get out and I can send more troops to get you all out after I leave," Moren held the transceiver, turning the knob.
"Like I'll trust that!" Lexi put her hand out, "Give me the damn radio before I turn your guts inside out." Assassins stood—loitering and twiddling their thumbs—unsure what to do around the guild.
The upper floor was removed of any tarps. A balcony overlooked the hall—a new office constructed right behind it where some rooms used to be.
The clerk was slumped to the side of the desk, his face beaten till black and blue; his glasses were broken, presumably after asking to be the one to escape... "Stop it!" A yell came from the door.
Before they could register that voice, the door busted open—in came the four of them, alongside the Lexokodac. "Shit!" Moren put the walkie-talkie into his belt and unsheathed his sword. "Go you idiots!"
Two hulking figures—"SLAM!"—one landed a sword into the ground, larger than the arms lifting it, the other sported a gigantic steel hammer—Synop and Sinop.
The assassins brought out various weapons, from bows to daggers as Lexi put up her staff. The assassins ran forward- "PfWOoSH!" Three arrows fired into the floor, sending a burst of wind to send them flying back.
The others rushed into the guild, Jotou and Okod with their blades at the ready. "Don't move too far from me!" Hotaru said as she kept her distance at the entrance.
Zach immediately fired his next shot, keeping groups of them away—the bolted down tables broke apart and their legs slid through the floor. "You!" the brunette's voice shouted out as shadows disappeared and reappeared next to Lexi.
