<Kano takes the mention of Zhyanno's name like a slap in the face. She straightens up a little and slinks away>
Mazzak indeed! That you know of Zhyanno is of no consequence. You may well have been sent by Mazzak, but if that is the case we have even more cause to kill you. There is no place for the lackeys of our enemies here. Now, you die."
<The angels rush at the party with swords raised, a glint of madness in their compound eyes.
Suddenly one of the angels balks. A blade flashes through the air from behind it and severs its head with one stroke.>
"For.. my... daughter..."
Kano stands atop the angel's fizzling body, panting. She is holding a sabre that appears to be made out of obsidian.
<The Human Torch and Dark Seraphim (and, I'll assume, Crush)leap out and begin attacking the other two angels, while the Kid blasts at them with lead. Norm stands there, amazed at what he just saw Kano do, and then gets behind a rock and watches the melee.
Round 1: (
)
The Human Torch's fireballs seem to only temporarily injure the angels, so he stands back and blasts at them.
Dark Seraphim plunges his sword deep into the side of one of the angels, who, with the discharge of lightning, falls to the ground twitching. Its wings begin to fade but it starts to get back up, hissing. Part of its mask has come off, and underneath there is a face not unlike that of a cockroach; it is obviously insect but looks somewhat human.
Crush and the other angel are engaged in a heated duel. The angel, not used to fighting someone with a sword almost as big as its own, is not doing well.
They each parry and slash and parry and slash and thrust and parry and then, Crush brings down a stroke that chips a large chunk off of the Angel's sword.
The Kid's bullets are having rather the same effect as the Torch's fireballs, but they seem to knock bits off pretty well as long as they hit somewhere thin. One hits the unmasked angel, shattering one of its eyes. The pieces fall like shards of crystal.
Round 2:
The unmasked angel goes berserk and takes a final swing at Dark Seraphim, who dodges it easily. The Human Torch sends a fireball at the angel which explodes right inside the eye where the Kid had hit it before, and the angel's head explodes.
bits of molten gold and jagged pieces of glass fly in all directions, and one grazes Crush across the back.
Crush, not anticipating the sudden pain and not totally used to his new boots, loses his footing for a second and slips off of the stone where he was standing.
The angel that he was fighting doesn't hesitate and slashes towards Crush's fallen form. Crush rolls out of the way just in time and the angel's sword is stuck in the ground. Attached to it is its severed arm, and off of that slides a thin slice of flesh- two cuts were made.
Kano and Dark Seraphim are standing facing each other, swords crossed. They both look slightly surprised.
They stand there for only a second, because the angel wheels around and flings its bulk at them, catching Dark Seraphim and crushing him against a wall.
Round 3:
Dark Seraphim lies against the wall, blood running from the corner of his mouth. He grins with the previously mentioned Azreal trademark grin as the angel shoves its spiny gauntlet into his chest.
Simultaneously, Crush's broadsword impales the angel, and a couple of well-placed shots from the Kid leave it lying on the ground, motionless.
**YOU ARE VICTORIOUS!
**
Kano speaks.
"Well, that's that I s'pose. Till those get here"
There is a visible cloud of dark shapes coming fast from the east.
