[Old Appaloosa]

Luka is still tied up. Poor guy.


Night Jewel is still concealed.


Finder's bullets plink off the armor housing of the chaingun's firing mechanism. A .357 is powerful, but not powerful enough to penetrate the strongest parts of the power armor.


Eledwhen, Night Jewel, and Finder all witness the following scene unfold.


Elestre leaps through the air, intent on stabbing Lamianos with a knife. Why he thought that was a good idea, no one knows. Lamianos turns towards the source of his screaming, chaingun blazing. Due to the dust storm and the fact that Elestre is invisible, though, his aim is not perfect. However, a few rounds do rip into the unicorn mid-leap. A few organs are struck, likely including a lung. Eledwhen is likely splattered with her cousins warm blood. Ew.

And then something bizarre happens. A loud metallic groan is heard; black energy wraps around Lamianos' chaingun, freezing it in place. Elestre's broken and bloody form slams into the power armored brute, bounces off, and rolls a few feet away. The energy is still flickering around the weapon, keeping it from firing.


Meanwhile, across the battlefield...

Ebon gallops as fast as he can. He manages to avoid the hail of gunfire being hurled at him. As he nears the armory, though, the gunfire suddenly ceases. Completely.

And then Ebon is likely stunned and staggered by the loud resound voice that suddenly booms within the confines of his mind.

Inside Ebon's head:

WE HAVE SEEN THE POWERS YOU WIELD.

DARK MAGICS, FORBIDDEN POWERS OF THE STARS.

WE HAVE USE OF YOU. NEED OF YOU.

SURRENDER YOURSELF, AND WE WILL SAVE YOUR FRIENDS.

THEIR LIVES ARE IN YOUR HOOVES. WILL YOU ADD MORE BLOOD TO YOUR CONSCIENCE?

OR WILL YOU SEEK ATONEMENT?

OFFER YOURSELF TO THOSE WITHIN THE ARMORY AND YOUR FRIENDS WILL GO FREE.

YOU HAVE OUR WORD.



((Luka is probably bored.
Lamianos is having technical difficulties.
Elestre is barely clinging to life.
Eledwhen is further traumatized.
Night Jewel is concealed.
Finder needs to find a better target.
Ebon has a hard choice to make.))
