Ephantus did not appreciate the sudden turn of events that had led to the position he now found himself in. His servitor had gone flying towards a blad, fellow, only to be suddenly sent into a wall of soldiers who were apparently giving chase to the bandaged figure. Several random people were helping to either stop the guards or just watching.<br/><br/>"Out of the way!" One of the oncoming guards shoved 'Ephantus' out of his way...and into the building beside them. Ephantus' minions were fragile things usually, since he wanted to avoid detection. His puppet's head hit the wall with a crack and slid to the ground. The soldier stopped short. "Oh shit." the man muttered, realizing that he'd probably just killed a civilian. Distracted, the soldier knelt down beside Ephantus.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">'I could always use a more capable minion.</span>EPhantus reasoned as he watched the soldier through his servitor's eyes.<br/><br/>THe servitor jerked and Ephantus grabbed the soldier by his ears. The man yelped in surprise, but in that moment Ephantus released a small cloud of the microscopic machines in his servitor's body, forcing them through the soldier's ears. The man twitched in place for a moment, a scream dying just before it could be let out.<br/><br/>Then Ephantus stood up, adjusted his uniform and scowled down at the body laying ont he ground. "Damn drunks." he growled and chased to catch up with the other soldiers.
