The guard looked at Joby and sneered, "Friends in high places, little boy. Something I can confidently say that you do not have." The guard gave a smile then turned to look at Nate.<br/>"Ha, hilarious, you think you can make a bargain when you don't even have a modicum of power Pathetic." The guard answered brushing Nate's offer off to the side.<br/><br/>Even with a blade to her neck, Elita shook her head ever so slightly at the group then diverted her eyes away.<br/><br/>As the 'head' guard looked at the rest of the group now the guard who held Erika spoke quietly to her, "It's not a bad idea little girl... but better yet that I don't have to take any prisoners at all, so much less to deal with." The man grinned almost ecstatically.<br/>In but a moment, the head guard took on the same wide grin, a malicious glint in his eyes.<br/>"Change of plans, I grow tired of conversation and you irksome pests bore me. You are all better off dead."<br/>Suddenly, the guards holding Erika and Elita let go of both girls then quickly shoved them forward to sprawl on the ground and lifted their swords then brought them down. There was a flash of red for a second as the head guard and the guard who once held Elita lay dead on the ground, a glowing hot hole burned into the center of both their foreheads.<br/><br/>"PICK UP YOUR DAMN WEAPONS AND FIGHT!!!" Sam shouted now as he stood up from the magic carpet, rifle held up high as the boy started to aim once more and let out shots at rapid fire.<br/><br/>With no time wasted Elita got up from the ground and got back to fighting, the dead gaurd's scimitar now in her hand as she zigzagged left and right out of gun fire and sword swings.<br/><br/>Erika on the other hand was not so lucky, as the scimitar had been brought down it created a foot long gash down her back, blood was now starting to flow though the tape that bound her arms tight together were now loose.
