"T-thanks. Miss Qing is too good to me..." Fidgeting under a bevy of mixed emotions that was leaning towards positive after the compliment, Hibiki was about to go on another sappy line of enthused words before she was promptly interrupted by sirens. It was city wide, something she instantly equated to the level of a national disaster event such as typhoons or the Alca-Noise. In her heart surged rage, a fury that pounded and chafed at the thought of having to yet again fight another threat when she had just met someone nice. Still, this was pushed away by her need to protect the innocent, knowing that as one who had the power to do so, she was beholden to such responsibilities.
"Ms. Qing... I might have to go help everyone..." Clenching her hands and looking really hesitant as her eyes flickered between the horizon and Ms. Qing, the girl fretted under the choice of her promise to protect one person as opposed to taking care of everyone else. "I-is there any truly safe places in the City for you to hide besides the Library...?" A hand unconsciously snaked towards her necklace, holding the innocuous red crystal like a lifeline as she weighed her choices. Truly, being a hero was suffering.

Makoto had gotten a decent amount of food into the bag when Morty ran through the doors, screaming. She looked up to see what was going on and noticed that Two and Caboose were here as well, along with a pair of Militia members. Were those two Phillips and Nails?
An old man in a lab coat was by the door, shooting a gun and what could only be described as mini elephants with two trunks holding firearms. As Rick retreated as well, Makoto cursed under her breath and took out one of the energy drinks from the bag.
"I'm not sure going out through the front is a good idea right now!" she said, raising her voice to be heard over the people yelling. "Is there a back entrance?" She cracked open the can of what looked like an alternate version of Red Bull and drank it. It tasted kind of awful, but she finished it before pulling a face over it. It was definitely working as intended though. "If not, I'm gonna go out and try and handle those things."

Two, Grocer > Outside the Grocer
Oh, and fighting reached them here too. It seemed that people would be congregating to the Library for shelter very soon.
The elephant-men were shooting. "Get down, everybody!" For lords' sake, all Two wanted to do was to sit down and have a moment of peace with her friends. The Writer was really determined to put them in action whether they liked it or not. Her grocery bag dropped and her massive blade drawn in a flash, the Intoner moved like a blue blur towards the danger, shielding one of the unfortunate innocents with it. "Caboose, Militiamen, try leading others away to safety!" She called to the inside of the store as she faced the incoming elephantmen.
It seemed there was no time for diplomacy. Wielding the blade, Two charged towards the group, much faster than one would expect and much more intelligently than her crippling lack of armor would have suggested.

Caboose was just standing there waiting as the sirens went off. It was only ten seconds later when he visibly reacted, gesturing and saying "Wow, where is that loud noise coming from?" In contrast to all the concern and panic spreading throughout the building, the blue soldier was completely calm. Nothing was wrong here.
And then Freckles chimed in. "Multiple hostiles detected," the gun told its master dutifully. Caboose looked down and was about to point out that there was only one hospital in the city when Freckles tacked on "Multiple bad people, Captain Caboose." Under the helmet an expression of understanding flashed on his face.
"OHHH," he said nonplussed. "We must be getting invaded by the moon people. I always thought they would be bunnies but they are ugly cute elephants! This is way better!" While he arrived at aliens through a thought process that wouldn't look out of place as the caption for an image of the guy from Ancient Aliens, it was accurate.
Deciding to grant the invaders a peace offering, Caboose raised up his gun and fired wildly at them. Little leaden friendliness pellets for EVERYONE.

In the middle of the roaring sirens and the upcoming battles between city goers and alien invaders was one man who appeared out on the balconies with a metal clanking thud of armor. Rubbing his helmet and trying to stretch out his back, Reinhardt was now in the City. For a bit he was busy trying to clear away the disorientation caused by his sudden and intense teleportation but as his one good eye recovered from the burst of light and his ears stopped ringing from the tidal wave of sound he started to notice the current state of the City which caused him to proclaim with bravado, "Have I been taken here to do battle?! I, Reinhardt the Crusader, call all these foes to stand toe-to-toe against me! LET'S FIGHT!" and then he would charge down the balcony and straight at the fray, his mind too filled with the call of combat to wonder about why he was in this city. That would come later to Reinhardt. Right now he had more important things to do.

Two ran outside with her giant sword drawn, which would have been more surprising if she hadn't just lifted Makoto up yesterday without difficulty. Not wanting to be outdone, Makoto took her own bag with her and followed the blue haired girl through the doors. She summoned her motorcycle in a flash and hopped on, keeping up with Two's speed. Caboose was firing at the invading creatures from a distance, and her bike glowed blue as she called on her magic.
"Anat, Marakukaja!" Makoto, Caboose, and Two were now surrounded by a layer of defensive energy. She then focused on a group of aliens that Two wasn't currently next to. "Mafreidyne!" She created and dropped multiple explosions of blue nuclear energy around some of the elephants.
'Oh. Uh." Morty was staring very intently at a jar of fruit preservatives as he contemplated the idea that he would very shortly die at the hands of murderous hang-gliding elephants. The fact that death was not permanent here did little to alleviate the abject humiliation of such a demise.
People were already panicking both inside and outside, and Makoto raised the possibility of trying to leave. "Uh, oh, man," Morty stammered, trying to remember his hazy memories of sneaking in through the back of the grocery store a week ago, "uh, I think th-there's like a back room?" he ventured, unsure if it had changed at some point over the intervening week like so much else.
Clomp. Clomp. Clomp. There were more feet falling from somewhere above, the scratching of little clawed elephant feet on the roof. Rick sighed and looked up as though bracing for the worst, cocking his laser pistol with one hand and his portal gun in in the other. "Hoo boy, Morty. They're probably *urp* come here to steal our supply of circus peanuts...."
"Is that a - a joke, Rick? In a time like this?"
Rick shrugged. "I dunno, Morty, you tell me why we're being invaded by tiny.... m-mutant space elephants wearing bad shoes."
Outside, things weren't much better. The tiny elephants were merciless in their initial invasion; sinewy proboscises wrapped around their weapons, they were doing a rather effective job at sowing terror and panic in the immediate area. It was, in some way, like a grotesque inversion of elephant poaching. Then Two burst through the door, blade down and sprinting towards the group. The nearest member of the group, one of about twelve - trumpeted an alarm with its free appendage, sounding just like a tiny elephant more than anything - and with that, the nearest five aliens turned to fire on her, trunks raised and squeezing the trigger.
Another two vanished in the nuclear fireball caused by Makoto, energy circling around to ensconce the three humans as Caboose opened fire, downing another one. The remaining four turned to open fire on the other two.
"Everyone out!" screamed Morty. This had about the effect that you'd expect from a scrawny 14 year old kid trying to command a large and fairly panicked group of individuals. "The... the... elephant things... are on the roof! They're going to-"
Whatever Morty was going to say next was cut off by a sudden blast of heat in his face and the sound of a heavy mass of air ducts, ceiling tiles, and wires fell on aisle two, flattening someone who had shoved an elderly lady out of the way to get his hands on some canned food and proving that even here some kind of karmic justice might possibly exist.
Through the gaping, smoldering hole above were five more of the elephants, lumpy heads cocked inquisitively at the prospect of attacking from above. Some kind of laser blast from a retreating ship, far above their heads, had punched through a chunk of roof and opened the grocery to a renewed assault.
"I got this! Morty, into the portal and-" It was right at that time that a stray shot from one of the elephants neatly hit Rick's portal gun; it coughed, emitted a shower of hot, poisonous looking green sparks, and cause Rick to drop it the disabled device, swearing profusely as he shook his hand. "Oh, how narratively convenient that was."
Lizard Metabolism
Two, Outside The Grocer
Two was used to being shot at, but not necessarily by marksmen with such new weaponry. As such, her evasive maneuvers were not quite as effective as she liked; a few of the laser bolts grazed her as she charged the elephantmen and one singed left hip.
And yet, despite everything, she came into the group with a battlecry; swinging her massive blade as if it was but a toy... but, as the flying limbs and heads of the elephantmen could attest to, a toy it was not. Two moved in a simple albeit graceful manner, blocking the shots with her blade and ending lives of the aliens as their blood was left on her clothes and body, dotting the blue with red splotches. Her eyes shone a radiant azure as she cut a swathe through the enemies, but again, she did not get out of the scuffle unharmed.
Morty's warning cry reached her in the middle of this strangely sensuous ritual. "What...? Oh no... Caboose! Stay indoors! Keep the people there safe!" She shouted over to the blue marine, just in time to get hit in the shoulder by another laser blast. "Ack..." There were plenty more enemies left and it felt like she was much more sluggish and less resistant to harm. Writer's meddling? Perhaps so, but she could not let this get to her. With another cry and covered from head to toe in the blood of the enemy, Two charged forward towards another group, ready to shield herself with the blade if need to.

Ben shrugged and nodded, then started to walk back towards Kelsey before the area was bathed in repeating high-pitched noises. He winced and covered his ears for a moment.
"What the heck?!" Ben asked in surprise, before running out after the others and looking at the sky. He glared up and readied his Omnitrix. "An alien invasion? Looks like it's time for Ben 10 to do what he does best." He glanced back at street level as he heard the military march and the repeated battle cry.
"Sounds like a bunch of them. I think we might need to get ready for a big fight," he told the others, still preparing the Omnitrix.

This was so much fun! Caboose didn't really see anything odd about this situation, and the idea that there was danger was far from his mind. He noted that Two was starting to look like a member of red team, or at least some alien combination of red and blue. She was really getting into this wasn't she?
Caboose heeded her instructions and ran to protect the grocery store from the ones coming in from above. Of course, since most people don't look up and Caboose was worse than most people he completely missed the gaping hole in the roof. "Oh, where are the chupaphant things?" he said quite obliviously. Freckles quickly provided guidance and Caboose turned his eyes upwards. The soldier raised his gun and started firing.

Outside Grocery Store
Her nuclear spell was effective enough to handle two elephants at once, and Caboose shot another one down. Two was carving a bloody path through the group trying to shoot at her, and Makoto wasn't sure whether to be afraid or thankful that Two was on their side. The remaining elephants fired lasers back, forcing her to drive around to avoid being a sitting duck. A few shots grazed her and the bike before she picked up speed, and she took a shaky breath as the searing pain faded.
There was a crash from the grocery store, and Makoto saw that elephants had gotten onto the roof and were trying to break in. Caboose ran back to help the people inside, and Makoto had to make a choice. If she followed him, Two would be alone, but then everyone trapped in the store would only have Caboose to protect them. She say Two take another shot to the shoulder, and decided to stay out here. Makoto made a sharp turn and drove towards the other girl, coming to a stop that left skid-marks on the road.
"Diarahan!" A light green glow healed Two's burns and other injuries. She then turned her attention to the four elephants that were firing at her and shot another round of Mafreidyne in their direction, setting off a new group of explosions. Once they were done out here, she could check on the inside of the store.

Eve, much like the others, prepped herself for a fight, hair turning into two thin blades, her go-to weapons. Meanwhile, the footsteps grew ever louder, the chant triumphantly accompanying them. When the aliens finally came into view, they looked like this,

Ben glared over at the oncoming aliens, readying his Omnitrix.
"Wow, you guys are the angriest potatoes I've ever seen! Time to mash you good! It's hero time!" Ben shouted, slamming his hand on the Omnitrix. After a bright green flash, Red Eyes stood where Ben once was. He squinted at how bright things were all of a sudden, then looked down at himself, then rolled his eyes.
"Aww, man!" he exclaimed "Red Eyes?! Stupid watch. Whatever, I'll handle it," Red Eyes said, moving dextrously off to the side, focusing in the Sontarans' direction. "What can you do?" he asked to himself under his breath, gesturing in the Sontarans' direction and exterting effort. All at once, the air around Red Eyes and the Sontarans began to darken, growing darker and darker until there was a pitch black shroud around the group. It was as if some pocket of darkness had hung around the area, blotting out any light in the area.
As he did so, Red Eyes noticed that the Sontarans seemed to light up with warmth in the darkness. They were as visible to him as if they were in bright daylight.
"Whoa, cool! I mean, uh, lights out!" Red Eyes exclaimed, then he quickly bounced off to another section of darkness so he wouldn't get shot at by following his voice. He made his way as quietly as possible to the Sontaran group, moving to the back in an attempt to attack the now-blinded aliens from behind.

"Ah, it's great!" Admittedly, had initially failed to understand what Rex actually meant by "magical girl", but she was able to deduce from the context that he was referring to her duties as the Shinju's Hero. "I mean, I guess I should say it was great. My friends and I beat the last Vertex right before I got brought here. It was probably the last fight, but at least we're all still gonna be together in the Hero Club after that. Plus, everyone is safe now, so that's another good thing!"
It was such a shame that their conversation was cut short, first by them arriving to the side entrance, and later on by the absurdly loud sirens. She did want to ask Rex more about his own hero experiences. How he got along with his friends, how the Vertex of his world were (assuming they were Vertex... which was possible), and how many they'd defeated so far. But that would probably have to wait until after the talk with Silanea. Even she knew that sirens meant bad things, so they had to hurry up.
"Right, we wanted to talk to Silanea. Can we come in please?"
THE SLORG!
Louie followed the others out, and was grabbing his pokeballs in preparation to help out until Ben went after the sontarans in the darkness. "Ben, you're going in there?! But- dang it, okay" Louie complained, then set with determination, tossed up two of his pokeballs. With flashes of light, Swishee the pelipper and Goldeneye the claydol appeared. "Swishee, can you still see the guys in that darkness?" Louie asked, and Swishee quickly honked in response, then Louie nodded and told her, "okay, start using fly on the goofy looking ones!"
Swishee flew off upwards in preparation to dive bomb one of the sontarans, while Louie turned back to the arcade. "Hey! Everybody! My pokemon can get you back to the library to safety really quick! Just come out here and touch him!" Louie yelled into the arcade. A number of the regular civilians hurried out for a chance to escape, but the Fanboys, who were now gathered at the windows to watch the spectacle, didn't budge.
"And miss this fight? As if!" one of them responded.
"But you're in danger!" Louie added.
"We're okay with that, don't worry about us" the Fanboy called back.
During it all, Kelsey was standing there in the street, her wide eyed gaze fit on the sontarans, before slowly, her eyebrows lowered and she scowled. "I need a weapon" Kelsey growled out.
"Hostiles seem to be dropping everywhere, but there doesn't seem to be many civvies in the streets, thankfully" one of the other patrol teams reported on the militia channel.
"There's still a number of civilians here at the grocery! We're going to try to move them to the library ASAP; could use support!" Phillip called into the channel, as he and Nails took cover at one of the register counters.
"Weapons free?" Nails asked to Phillip, grabbing his MP5.
Phillip shook his head. "We don't have enough ammo to handle this many hostiles at once. Besides, I don't see any armor on those things" Phillip responded. The two popped up from cover with their phasers drawn, and quickly put down a number of the elephant like creatures, before ducking back down a moment later. "We can't get bogged down fighting; they'll just keep coming. I've got a plan" the militia member noted to his partner.
Then he looked up from cover just enough to look out towards Two, Caboose, and Makoto. "Hey! Hero dudes! You handle these things, we'll get the civvies!" Phillip yelled out at Two in particular, then looked at Makoto as he saw her militia badge. "Girl on the bike, regroup with us!" the militia member hollered out at her, then the two moved back further into the grocery.
"Civilians! Please come with us!" Nails yelled out into the grocery, as Phillips concentrated his phaser fire on the hole in the roof to suppress the aliens trying to come in that way.
The drone coming in the front door was quickly met with an industrial hammer smashing into one of its knees, as Fastanook had dashed over and swung his thwack hammer with a lot of momentum behind it. At the back of the room, the two other militia members there quickly grabbed their bigger guns. "Shit! Weapons free!" one of them yelled, lifting up a shotgun and blasting at the drone's face, while the other militia member brought a laser musket to bear and fired multiple shots into the drone's torso.
Outside, the militia guard at the front gate had heard the noise and turned around, and grabbed his walkie talkie. "Hostiles at the prison! They dropped on us from above! They look armored!" the militia guard yelled into it, then grabbed his own laser musket and started firing upon the drones on the roof, from across the path.
The militia guard did not see that outside the prison walls, a man was walking up to the gates.
"Uh, right" one of the militia members said to Lewis, then the two followed him back towards the cells.
Meanwhile at the cells, the lead pig orc scoffed, then grabbed the phone and hung up the call. "You don't need to leave your cell to be told about what the city is like. But we'll keep it in mind" the lead pig orc commented, then looked over as the running footsteps of the militia members with Lewis approached. "You want this back? Here" the orc said, and tossed the phone underhand to Lewis.
The lead pig orc then heard the somewhat muffled pops of gunfire from the front of the prison, along with the reports on the channel from his walkie, and took on an expression of determination. "Alright, visiting hours are over. Boys, we got work to do" the lead pig orc told the others, who let out some excited grunts and moved to follow him leaving towards the entrance.
"Sir, if you do not want to leave the prison, we'll at least need you to stay somewhere else" one of the militia members who followed Lewis commented.
The woman listened to her walkie talkie, and frowned. "Alright, yeah go in- fucking hell!" the woman commented, and ran away from the door, back the way the group had come towards the front side of the prison. As she ran, she drew a sawn off, double barrel shotgun with one hand, and her phaser in the other.
Just through the door, the group could see that at the lounge-like room, there was a scramble of a few militia members grabbing their things in preparation to move; among them was Silanea, holding a phaser in one hand while giving a small, slightly worried frown.

That was what our non-dead heroine thought to herself as she looked up at the bright red thing being shot at by most of the people here. It wasn't a positive "oh I can't wait to get at it" kind of statement, by the way, she was honestly wondering how in the world someone like her could help.
Sure, she killed the Leviathan a while back, but there wasn't readily available explosives lying around here! Such poor foresight!
Yoshika backed away slowly, trying to lead the Alpaca backwards and not really caring about it either (because seriously), as she looked the drone up, down and over for anything that didn't seem to be made of metal.
"Even the Library has been breached, before. Nowhere is truly safe, and yet..." She reached up and briefly poked up at her hairpin, debating on whether or not that was a viable method of hiding...again...but ultimately came up with a verbal, very firm "Eeeehhhhhh...?"
"Oh, whatever," she did a tiny, little, properly demure stomp on the floor, and started to walk outside. "If you wish to go help, you're welcome to do so! You can do more good helping more than just one old woman hide from whatever inanity's coming after her."

After running around for awhile in search of a worthy battle, Reinhardt encountered a big building clearly marked as being a grocery store and from Rein's viewpoint he could see a young lady fighting valiantly against a never-ending tide of elephants! Not dragons but it will do! Releasing a Fire Strike into the crowd, he came swinging from behind, bashing any of the beasts he could. "Do not fear miss for Reinhardt will be your shield!" he announced to Two, further taunting the aliens by yelling at them, "Give me all you got cowards!"

A foghorn went off all around the city. Maybe Rex really shouldn't have tempted fate by sending Makoto that last message.
Again, he would have to keep that in mind for later—he was doing that a lot lately—after all, there were more important things to deal with, like Yuna completely ignoring his advances. At least hearing what her world was like was interesting but, what did she mean with having 'probably' defeated all her enemies? And what did geometry have to do with anything?
"Vertex?"
Things were heating up in the militia channel. Whatever was going on outside required a functional ship and, well, for some odd reason the building process had been halted. Maybe Rex hadn't used his time efficiently.
The group reached the section of the prison where Silanea was. She seemed ready to take down whatever was outside, like every other member of the militia there.
"Hey" Rex waved at her and tried to joke to lighten up the mood "...perfect timing, right?"

"...No, I gave my word. Ms. Qing, I'll protect you." Picking her choice and looking extremely pained while doing so, the girl nevertheless shakily smiled as she stood closer to the mystic, senses on full blast as she tried to pick up any signs of threats. "There are people that can protect the others... but no one's guarding you. I'll be your shield... your spear! Anyone that wants to hurt you will have to go through me first! If I can't protect my friends, then what good am I?!" The girl with the manly sideburns stated such saccharine words with a completely serious demeanor.
Grocery Store
Phillips' yelling caught her attention, and Makoto turned to look back at the storefront, once again conflicted. Regroup? But she couldn't just leave Two alone out here with these- A towering suit of armor crashed into the elephant group, swinging a rocket powered hammer around and yelling about shielding. There was something about a Reinhardt in there, but it was hard to catch over the gunfire and stomping. He was definitely helping Two, at least.
"...Just hang in there!" she said to them, before casting Marakukaja. Reinhardt would glow slightly as he received a short lived defensive boost, and the one on Two would be extended to last longer. Makoto gunned her motorcycle's engine and raced back to the grocery store's entrance. The automatic doors had most of their glass broken by now, but the doors themselves were still functioning.The motion sensor picked up on her bike a little too late, and the doors were only partially open when she tore through them, knocking them off. She braked hard and hopped off to meet up with the two Militia members, though Anat was still rolling behind her, glowing a faint blue color.
"Alright, where are we going?" she asked, pulling out her phaser. Damn, there really were elephants trying to tear through the ceiling... Her phone had vibrated again in her pocket, but she didn't notice it.

Dark Sun, what choices have I...?
The drone at the door fell to one knee as Fastanook's hammer collided with it and made it lose its balance. It struggled to stand, evidencing that the leg the gremlin had hit had come out worse for the wear.
As for the shooting, the laser shots in the drone's torso didn't exactly pierce its bright red armor, though said armor looked to be visibly deforming. The bullets to the face had a bit less luck, mostly just scratching it up, though with the head being pushed a bit closer to the body. The drone raised one hand to shield its face, and with the other reached for Fastanook to try and fling him toward his shooting colleagues.
All this wasn't giving Yoshika a ton to work with, though if she looked closely she might notice that the relatively flexible and plateless joints seemed a tad more stabable than the rest of the drone's body. Behind her, the alpaca was still running like hell, at least until it bumped into a trio of porcine police and a pink phantom.
I made it back to the impromptu interview in no time, and just as quickly had my phone tossed back to me like the fellow watching this call had read my mind. I fumbled a little, but caught it. I dispelled the chair I'd left that phone sitting on prior. "Thanks, I was just coming to get that."
I switched to the radio app, channel 10, about to talk in it when shots sounded in the direction of the entrance, and info blared from the militiamen's own radios. Shit, Yoshika was that way. And the alpaca. And some other dudes, but especially Yoshika and the alpaca.
"I can take a few guys, no way," I told the guard advising me to camp somewhere safe if I didn't just leave for the library altogether. I started off for the scene without waiting for any other input, opening up the radio app.
Channel 10. "You guys there? I'm going out on a limb and guessing y'all 'ready know the shit that's going down." Easy to remember when it was led by Ben 10. "Bit of a situation at the prison, not great considering the folks being kept here. I'm on top of it and so's the militia here but some backup might come in handy if you don't have too much going on."
I could see a red-looking figure ahead in the room, being shot at. I could also see a certain adorable animal just about bump into me, screeching in terror. It didn't take a genius to figure out what that all meant.
But I couldn't exactly spend much time calming the alpaca, now could I? Besides, they weren't dangerous. I gave it but a couple calming shooshes and gentle paps before hastily shoving it aside. Well, it was quieter about running now, at least.
It took a couple seconds for the drones on the roof to figure out where the shooting upon them was coming from, but upon laying eyes on the guard in the tower one of them raised a palm toward him and launched a round of surprisingly ordinary bullets. The other two, meanwhile, continued stomping at the roof, in a clear attempt to pound a hole through it with their feet.

THE SLORG!
Silanea looked over and smiled slightly as she saw Rex, though then looked a bit confused. "Rex? What are you doing here?" Silanea asked. The other militia members were looking over at them, and seeming to sense it, Silanea looked over and told them simply, "go on without me. I'll be fine." The militia members turned and ran off into the prison, heading towards the entrance area. Silanea turned back to look at Rex again, but before she could speak, she glanced over at the sounds of two explosions coming from the front side of the prison. The latter was quite the event too, making the whole building shudder.
"We are going to the library, but you, well, see this guy?" Phillip said to Makoto, and pointed at the unconscious Jackson, whom Nails was dragging. "He's very dangerous. Get him to the prison on your bike before we lose this chance to get him in jail, again" the militia member told her, resuming his phaser fire up at the hole in the ceiling.
Fastanook tried to counter the incoming hand with another swing of his thwack hammer, but was unsuccessful, and hurled through the air. His comrades were better about diving out of the way though, making him just hit the far wall instead.
Then through the doorway to the rest of the prison, the lead pig orc strode through, snapping a grenade launcher closed with the round he just loaded into it. "Everybody down!" the lead pig orc yelled as the only quick warning, then fired with a chunky TH-THWUMP. The round hit the drone at the doorway right in the chest, slamming right through the armor like a big, solid slug. It then exploded a moment after, taking the majority of the drone's chest with it and sending what remained of the drone out through the door.
The lead pig orc then looked up at the ceiling as the other pig orcs came into the room behind him. "Friends on the roof. Give 'em a welcoming gift" the lead pig orc commented. One of the others lifted a large machinegun to his shoulder, and opened fire into the ceiling, sending high caliber rounds right through it and at the drones above.
Meanwhile, the militia guard at the watchtower ducked and moved back slightly as the rounds came his way, then paused and glanced over the opposite side of the tower as he heard yelling.
"You will not stifle his creativity!"
Just as the militia guard started to open his mouth to ask in rightful confusion just what the heck that meant, the man standing outside the front gate set off the explosives on his vest.
The front gate, the sections of wall next to it, and the tower the guard was in, were all reduced to flying bits of debris in nearly an instant, and the shockwave rattled the nearby buildings, including the main prison building itself.
