The Guy We're Supposed To Rescue?

JP with mdman, Redsword, Jaxx, Trustno1 and Cindy

Sung looked at the room carefully, his sword at his side but ready. "The Countess is still here" warned Sung. He closed his eyes and seemed to focus on the room. Then Sung moved to one side but it was too late. The Countess appeared behind him placing a hand on his shoulder. Sung instantly tensed up he opened his mouth but nothing came out of it as he fell over. Sung looked paralyzed as his body convulsed a little.

The Countess used the surprise to reach down and try to take Sung's sword. Magic energy-like lighting ripped across her body She screamed in horror and disappeared in a trace of black smoke.

Agent Powers gritted his teeth as he missed his chance to shoot the Lich. Since she was too close to Sung when she appeared, he couldn't shoot. Using a shotgun is great in that one does not need to aim perfectly at the target however it is the worst type of gun to use when there is a human shield/hostage in the line of fire. Sadly when Agent Powers got a chance to take his shot as the Lich reached for Sung's sword, he was again denied as the sword seemed to hurt her and made her vanish again. Agent Powers grunted as he missed his chance to blow her head clean off. However he still had a few holy water ampules hidden under his muscular slime body as a triumph card. He was on guard as he knew the Lich was dangerous, but he was hoping she would make another blunder so he could shoot her.

Sartre went through everything that occurred to him in his mind over the past 12 years, he remembered back too the last time he had met with the angels and the dreamers in the cosmos after defeating Lilith and radical angel Samael At the Orochi tower. He felt himself be able to summon the power that the cosmos had given him at the time. He felt himself lift off his feet as the blue wings sprouted from his back, and extreme blast of energy rushed towards the direction the lich was last seen. As the entire cavern was covered in blue light. He would float for a few seconds as the room along with himself would radiate.

Agent powers was a bit shaken by Sartre's blue light scene, however that moment revealed the location of the Lich and Agent Powers quickly fired three rounds of golden holy shotgun ammo. The Holy Shotgun (also known as the crucifix shotgun) The weapon shares some visual similarity to the Streetsweeper shotgun. It has a cross-shaped barrel. with the Dragon's Breath flame thrower at the bottom and a flashlight on top. It has a 12-round replaceable drum magazine. The slugs are made by smelting gold from religious symbol, molding them and putting them in 12-gauge slug shells. These rounds, custom-made by the Illuminati, are tipped with explosive shells that contain white oak, holy water, garlic, and silver shavings. These ingredients, each bearing a folkloric power to impede evil and/or specific monsters (e.g. vampires, werewolves, witches, etc.), have the potential to injure many of the foes they may face. Agent Powers kept alert after firing hoping he was able to hit the Lich.

“What the…” Choi began, amazed at the display of Sartre’s spell. “K-Mart shoppers, we have a blue-light special on aisle 7. Why didn’t you lead with this?”

"Wherever it went, that should have done some damage to it........." said Sartre.

Alyssa noticed the blue light but was more focused on her father, who was now suddenly looking better. The man sat up, then stood up, he offered a hand to Alyssa who took it then stood up.

"Thanks," Matt said to Peter. "I feel much better." He still didn't really know anyone's name but had quickly figured out who were Illuminati and who were Dragons.

"I can only do that in rare circumstances," said Sartre.

Choi closed his eyes, feeling with his spirit. Ears, eyes, hands have all failed in determining what is real and what is not. AI has often demonstrated this. He could rely more upon his spirit. It sensed the truth.

Choi feels the Lich as it appears right behind Alyssa. Matt started to move as the Lich appeared and pushed Alyssa to the side the Lich missed but instead grabbed Matt. His body froze just like Sung did as he fell. The look of shock on his face as he lay there on the ground.

Sung started to move slowly. He shook his head and he looked weak still. He tried to get to his feet. But only able to sit up.

Everything happened so fast, Alyssa didn't stop to think. She just saw her father take the hit that was supposed to be for her.
It took an instant for a now furious Alyssa to look at the Lich. "You Bitch." The hacker reached out and, this time, managed to touch the lich. She could feel the sting of cold on her hand but didn't care, the thing needed to pay.

Choi acted quickly. Even with his eyes closed, he knew where Alyssa was and where the lich was. He sliced with the geom swinging it above Alyssa, then did the same on the opposite side of the lich.

Agent Powers was annoyed that he missed the Lich as he stayed on guard. Then he saw movement from the corner of his eye and saw Alyssa's father fall as Alyssa grabbed the Lich. He wanted to shoot but Alyssa would be caught in the line of fire. Then he saw Choi moving in her direction and so he took the chance of loading a ampule of holy water through his neck and into his mouth, then took a deep breath, as he broke it in his mouth and sprayed the powerful holy mist in the direction of the Lich and Alyssa in hopes to weaken it so Choi could succeed. Once he sprayed his mist he spat out the glass in his mouth and kept his shotgun ready to shoot if he got a chance.

When Alyssa grabbed the Lich her smug look changed to fear. She screamed in pain as wounds opened up on the Lich it looked like the Lich was disintegrating. Dust fell from the ground from the Lich's wounds. As mist settled on the Lich and Alyssa the water burned holes in the Lich. The Countess Lich shook and screamed. The Lich grabbed onto Alyssa. There was a brief power struggle between the two. They both had a magic hue on both of them.

The Lich looked at Choi as he came in for the attack. There was a flash of light and a trace of black smoke and the Lich was gone. the feeling of dread that hung in the air was gone as well. The Lich was gone from the room. Everyone had the feeling she got away.

Sung Let out a shout as he moved with incredible speed. A shot rang out as Sung hit the floor and slid to a stop. The priest was standing there with a large revolver. The priest had the gun pointed in the direction of Alyssa and her father.

Agent Power grunted as he hurt the Lich with the holy water but it was not enough to let Choi finish her off. As she vanished he looked around while on guard with his holy shotgun still aiming for prey. Then the movement from the other got his attention and aimed his shotgun at the priest who was aiming at Alyssa and her dad. Agent Powers then said, "YO PADRE! We came here to rescue you but if you try to hurt my teammate I won't hesitate to blow your head clean off! Put the gun down NOW!!!!”

"What do you think you are doing Charles Duane?" yelled Sartre as he looked at the direction the revolver barrel was pointing.

"You, You, You hurt my Lady Countess. You will all pay!" The Priest yelled. He lifted a dead man switch in the other hand. A blinking red light at the base of the switch. Those who know what that was know explosives had to be in the room.

Agent Powers muttered, "Crap!" As he moved very fast to block any shot or blast directed towards Alyssa. He knew it was going to hurt but he had been through worse on his solo missions. In the past he had to fight through a lot of suicide terrorists. He just hoped he had enough energy to maintain his muscular slime form.

Alyssa and Matt stood there for a moment. They exchanged a glance, Alyssa sighed but gave an ever so brief nod.

In a flash, Matt went from being by his daughter to punching Charles Duane. Matt was so quick in his movements it was difficult to see what he doing but he wrestled Charles in an attempt to get the device from him

Agent Powers barely missed Matt as they passed by each other heading in opposite directions. As Matt attacked the Priest, Agent Powers hugged Alyssa and covered her from the Priest's attack. He muttered, "Stay down." as he braced for the impact.

Choi ran the opposite way, running up the wall and doing a backflip. His arms stretched down toward the deadman’s switch. With hands on both sides of the switch, trapping Duane’s thumb upon the switch, Yeong kept the pressure upon it.

Sartre Rushed to help Matt Wilson and Choi grapple with Duane. He helped them make sure that the button was kept compressed as he placed his knee on the hand of Duane, who was now on the ground.

Sung stands on his feet with a hole in his jacket and other material sticking out. He coughs a few times. He looks angry and in pain. Sung walks over to the others struggling with the priest. not quickly, almost casually. Sung looked down at him "Be blessed Priest, I need you alive and want to ask you some questions," Sung said—his tone cold with little emotion but his face with a hint of anger. Sung waited for Choi to pull and pin the Priest's arm.

Sung was waiting for the right moment. With a swift motion of his sword, the Priest hand was severed; nothing happened for a second; it was fast, just a blur. Then blood started to pulse from the limb.

Choi realized immediately he was now holding the man's hand. as blood dripped from it too.

The Priest flailed on the ground when he realized his hand was missing. The Man yelled in pain and shock, throwing blood everywhere.

Suddenly, Alyssa's father was fighting with the guy they were supposed to be rescuing, even if he clearly wasn't on their side. Then she was being covered by Max's rather large body. She could no longer see what was going on.

Choi looked at the hand in his hands still keeping pressure on the deadman’s switch. He saw blood spewing from the priest’s arm onto his white and black Adi-Kicks.

He looked at Duane with tense lips and a raised brow. “I hope you know you’re ruining my shoes.”

He turned to Sung, saying, “Nice work, Master. I’ll hold onto this little treasure until we are safely out.”

Agent Powers looked at Alyssa to make sure she was safe. It felt a bit weird being this close to a woman so he began to feel a bit awkward. He then turned his head to see that the others took down the priest. Then he said, "Stay behind me and watch out for the Lich." He then got up and stuck his hands into his pockets and pulled them out. He was now wearing golden holy brass knuckles as he reach for his dangling holy golden shotgun. He then held the shotgun as if he was ready to be attacked by the Lich from any direction. He then said, "Anyone have eyes on the Lich?”
