"I got you," Percy said as he jumped into the air, twin daggers equipped, inches away from the archer.
"We got you." Kay replied as he jumped off the palisade wall into the village, landing on the ground with a clumsy roll.

CLING
CLANG
Princess Elencia's sword expertly clashed against Percy's knives. Kay regained his footing and proceeded to fire arrows at close range in between openings.
'Damn. I'm in trouble here.' Percy thought as he desperately struggled against the combined attacks of Elencia and Kay.
KABOOOM!
A violent explosion similar to cannon ball knocked the dueling group off their feet.
[LIGHTNING BOLT skill used by Wain]
Wain's attack blasted a huge hole in the southern wall near the gate sending splinters and debris in every direction. Shouts and screams from the villagers erupted as men and women rushed to defend the gate.
"NO! GET BACK! THIS IS TOO DANGEROUS!" Kay yelled as a warning to the villagers…against an expert assassin they would be carved like Thanksgiving turkeys in a blink of an eye.
Kristan, Wain, and Hector arrived on the scene and quickly scanned the area for threats. Hector performed his healing magic on Percy, healing the minor wounds caused by wood splinters.
"No, you don't!" Kay unleashed a savage volley of arrows directed at Hector…desperately trying to stop the healer from helping the assassin regain his strength.
"TOO SLOW!" Kristan shouted as she quickly blocked the arrows with her shield.
"Wain, you and I take the archer. Kristan and Hector you take the pretty girl." Percy commanded.
What happened next was pure insanity.
Wain released an avalanche of fireballs targeting Kay which were strategically superior to his arrows while Percy closed the gap and engaged him in close combat. Arrow, blade, and magic meet in a mesh of chaos.
Meanwhile Kristan locked blades with Princess Elencia.
CLING CLANG CLASH
Hard, metallic tremors vibrated violently in the air. The Princess fell back and rebalanced herself as she stirred her arm…those attacks made her bones hum…which gave her arm the same feeling as when a limb falls asleep.
Sensing the mortal danger, the villagers rushed toward their princess to aid her.
"You handle the villagers…try to not kill them. I got the girl." Kristan said as she waved her shield (like Bruce Lee's 'come and get it' taunt) inviting the princess to attack.
The princess thrusted forward in a ferocious attack. A loud "SHHK-CLANG' sound followed as sword impacted shield. Both women felt an electric shock…a vibration stinging their hands and palms.
'She is not holding back…good…I will stomp her.' Kristan thought with a slight smirk.
Meanwhile, Hector pummeled the pour villagers like a professionalwrestler beating down on elementary school children. He easily knocked, punched, kicked, pounded and battered a dozen men into a bloody mess of submission.
BOOM!
Kristan shield-smashed the princess square in the torso knocking her back like a rag doll. Trained in the most rigorous combat scenarios, the princess performed a backflip in midair landing on her feet. She leapt into the air and positioned herself perfectly allowing her blade to catch the sun. This caused the blade to reflect a bright light into Kristan's face, blinding her momentarily.
THUNK!
The Princess' sword hammered down on Kristan's shield with crushing force. Kristan buckled her knees to absorb the impact, meanwhile the Princess spun-kicked the shield knocking Kristan down.
"Drop your weapon…I got you." The Princess commanded with her sword against Kristan's neck as she laid on the ground.
"No, we got you." Percy replied with his knives against Kay's neck.
The two groups locked eyes…similar to an old Western stand-off.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING???" Shouted Arthos as he ran into the village from the huge hole in the wall.
Oddly, Arthos was running holding hands with a beautiful young girl with silver hair.
Behind them, ran a young blue-haired boy.
