We will not allow you such an indulgence, Sergeant.
-Brontes fires his railgun, simply burning through most of the cover in it's path-
"One thing, though- apparently the eldest goat is the bastard child of Muhammad Ali and the Hulk." ~ Exelixi, on The Three Billy Goats Gruff.Uh uh. Sorry pal, but your dance is with me.
-stabs the knife into Hercules' mighty thews, penetrating the Nemean skin he wears as armour-
There isn't a thing in the world that this blade won't cut, and I've added a little something extra to it. We Freemasons don't cut corners, you know.
The Danse Macabre Codex???: Enough of this!
GRAAAHH!!!
-Focusing despite the pain, Hercules lifts his club to crush Frog's head, a whistling sound is heard, and a massive club, identical to his own, hits him in the back of the head.-
Whoof!
-He loosens his grasp, Frog wriggles out and escapes.-
HERCULES!! Stand and fight me you worthless dogson!!
Gods, not him...
-out of the water emerges a massive half crab half horse beast, composed of rock and water
◊. It makes a charge towards the nearest allies-

-A bolt of lightning comes down from the heavens with a hiss, then curves, snarling it's way towards the Rock; the figure is gone, and the general folds his arms after a salute; a squad of battered soldiers pads up behind him, watching the lightning with hope-
"He could not know it. For it was not all a joke."Or This!
-stabs Hercules in his mighty loins, then goes for the achilles tendon-
Thanks for the help, pal, but I am not a "small man."

The Danse Macabre CodexBrontes, Hercules is endangered. Such a loss will deal a crippling blow to the troops' morale. We can let the rest of the century deal with the Marines.
KABOOM! -Brontes staggers, then pulls himself upright-
-Octavian fires a few times at McCullen, clipping the surrounding scenery, as Brontes moves in-
We don't cut corners either, commander. Let me introduce you to Brontes, a decorated Warsmith of the Cyclopean auxiliaries. And this is his custom-built Fulgur-pattern railgun-
Brontes: Sophia.
Octavian: -..Sophia. We don't cut corners either.

"One thing, though- apparently the eldest goat is the bastard child of Muhammad Ali and the Hulk." ~ Exelixi, on The Three Billy Goats Gruff.(They're both twelve feet tall, it's what they call everybody.)
Aaaahh!
-Backhands Frog away.-
Little wretch!
-The other giant picks up his club as well.-
???: Now ready yourself for defeat, you misbegotten whelp!
Heracles, the only thing I need to ready myself for is the victory feast being prepared for me!
Heracles: Then tonight you will DINE IN HELL!!
-Both rush each other, somehow setting off a shockwave pushing all other units back when they collide.-
-picks himself up off the ground-
Oww...True, but sometimes there aren't any corners to cut, Octagon.
-aims his handgun at Brontes' eye-
Are you aware that the shortest path from one point to another is a straight line?
-BLAM!-

The Danse Macabre Codex-Brontes swings round and fires Sophia at the unknown man. Not enough to kill, but it burns him, and bowls the man over. Meanwhile, Octavian fires at McCullen-
"One thing, though- apparently the eldest goat is the bastard child of Muhammad Ali and the Hulk." ~ Exelixi, on The Three Billy Goats Gruff.-grunts as he takes the shot in his shoulder, causing him to drop his knife-
N...Nice trick, Octagon. But I can do you one better.
-shoots Brontes in the throat-
The Danse Macabre Codex- A voice growling in Basque is heard on the winds-
{Long has it been since the sons of Romulus came to my land with such greedy intent. Your overstaid presence here will ended with much prejudice}!
I really don't want to run this through a Basque translator. It would result in disjointed gibberish.
"He could not know it. For it was not all a joke."-Brontes, clutches at his throat and topples to the floor-
Idiot. If it didn't work on me, would it work on the Warsmith?
-Octavian continues shooting-
Medici! My companion requires aid!

-hurls a Masonic pulse grenade at Brontes' feet; the resulting pulse shorts out the medical nanites before they can reach the cyclops-

-The Sergeant and his men find cover-
Now, let's try to get a plan of action together.
That video was amusing.
