Oh s**t
Marianne twisted her body to the side just in time, throwing herself into Leah.

 ╯Bαмвι Lιάɴɢx♠ xToмαѕ╰ xxx♔x2ɴᴅ ʏᴇᴀʀx♔ Well, she was going to mess up somewhere. Bambi knew she had made a mistake by the tone of Michael's voice, and the grip she kept on her violin strap tightened imperceptibly. Her mind reeled with possibilities as the other kept talking, and she didn't even turn to look when Michael asked. It didn't matter who it was.
Bambi tackled Michael. Then, at the top of her lungs, she shouted.
"HELP!"

 [✿] Cαввαɢe Woodѕ_━━＂Eĸαтerιɴα＂ .. 1ѕт Yeαr .. xxx→→x Wow! There sure was a lot of things going on. Cabbage zeroed in all of his attention on Gisa, realizing that it would probably be a bad idea if he started getting dizzy and overwhelmed at this point. He was kind of talking to a murderer, after all! That was probably pretty 'scary.' It was too bad Cabbage had no capacity for crying. He wondered if it was a choice time for that kind of thing.
Was Rowan crying? Cabbage sneaked a peek at him. No, he wasn't. He did look pretty grim, though, which was kind of cute. Too bad Egg wasn't around to snap photos. Cabbage was very interested in seeing everybody's serious faces. They were really quite endearing.
A wind blew through Cabbage's hair, and he felt himself feeling...refreshed. He hadn't really known how absolutely dead exhausted he was until the feeling was suddenly gone, and Cabbage thought ah, wind isn't supposed to do that.
His smile remained in perfect place as Gisa explained herself, and Cabbage balanced from heel-to-toe with his hands behind his back while waiting for her to finish. As soon as she was done he immediately chimed in. "Then, since there's nothing you could gain, it must mean the opposite right? That there's a lot you can lose? What kind of consequences are terrible enough to get a professional group of terrorists antsy?" It sounded like a jab, but Cabbage's eyes were clear with legitimate curiosity. Absently, Cabbage realized he was having a bit of fun. "I bet it's really terrible! Super super mega terrible!"

Leah's smile vanished. Oh ******** YOUR REACTION TIME.
She was subsequently bowled over, the gun and sword knocked free of her grasp. Leah hit the ground hard, but she got up almost immediately and dashed for the gun.

Marianne took just a vital moment longer to pop back up, shocked at herself to find that she hadn't accidentally impaled herself. She noticed a flash of metal in the corner of her eye and seeing Leah go the opposite way, headed directly for the sword.
I'm a professional, Mari reminded herself, grabbing the blade by the hilt. Professionalism trumps experience, right? Right? ******** propelled herself back over to Leah with the help of a short fleet -- okay, she definitely could only cast maybe like one more of those before she was in crunch time -- and swung the blade, wildly. She was bound to hit something, right?
God, she hope and prayed she hit something.

Ty shook his head as much as he could when he saw Ziza writing on her arm in blood. He could hear Bambi shouting, and made a jerking motion with his arm.
"Z, what's goin' on over there?" he groaned.

They paused and patted their cheek. Suddenly they didn't feel so much like death anymore. That was new.

Lᴏʀᴇɴ MᴏʀᴇᴛᴛɪLoren twisted and stumbled back, feeling the knife tear through the fabric of their shirt and skin. They hopped to the side a few feet, startled by the mist around them. It was hard to see Tyme, let alone anyone else.
With no magic, no weapon, no skill in hand-to-hand combat and very little visibility, Loren went completely still. The only thing they could hope to do was rely on their half-elf hearing and dodge.

 Asha's eyes widened and her cheeks flushed - this certainly wasn't the most romantic environment, but she couldn't have noticed anyway. Her attention span had become very small and focused.
"That felt. Real," she said, cheek pinched. "Ah, I. Yes, I. Feel liih- lighth- dizzy, I. Feel dizzy."
She dug her fingers into Elvira's arm at the rattle of a gunshot.

Ziza spared a glance to see what the hell Bambi was up to - just in time to see Bambi tackle a terrorist. If I wasn't so afraid of dying right now I'd find that kind of hot. Regardless, Bambi didn't appear hurt, and Ty was. Ziza didn't like prioritizing her friends, but she also knew if she tried to help Bambi the girl would yell at her to go help Ty.
"Nothing Bambi can't handle," she replied, looking back at her arm. She hadn't ******** up the spelling so far. Ziza dipped a finger in the cut for some fresh blood and kept going. "Let's get you out of here first, I'm almost done."
Everything's going to be alright, she told herself. There's no way the situation can get worse at this point, right?
Oh gods I totally jinxed it didn't I.

I missed, Tyme thought, noting the way the mist shifted. So the agent had dodged - impressive. Tyme would have to rely on another tactic. And quickly - fighting and holding up a sphere of influence was a pain.
Let's review, Tyme decided. They dodged the attack, so their reflexes are good and their hearing must be at least on par with mine. They didn't try to strike back, so I doubt they're combat-trained - weird for an SO agent. Likely they want to end this as quickly and bloodlessly as possible. But it'd be annoying to have two SO agents running around, so Tyme needed to keep this one occupied. Easy enough.
"Awfully brave of you," they said, and then they took a few steps to the side to make their location harder to pinpoint. "To come running to the rescue of some kids." Step, step, step. "Especially when you're hardly better'n a mundane." Step, step, step, step.

Leah snatched up the gun and twisted towards Marianne. "Oh, sweetie, you never bring a knife to a gun fi--"
Leah felt the sword slice through the fabric of her jacket
and then her Brand.
The backlash was instantaneous. Leah's veins blackened as taint overtook her body, starting at her shoulder and rapidly spreading, filling up her sclera and leaking from her eyes, nose, and mouth. Leah hung in the air for a few seconds, disbelief carved into her face before it twisted in pain. She dropped the gun in shock and quickly followed suit, crumpling before Marianne and twitching in agony.
"M...make it stop," she rasped, "maKe I T sT o P ."
She clawed at the ground, tearing up the grass. "MAKE IT STOP! "

Gisa was starting to dislike how on-the-ball this kid was. "Look, kid," she began, starting to lose her patience, "that's none of your busin--"
"MAKE IT STOP!"
Gisa froze. Was that...? No, no way, it couldn't have been... Gisa turned around to check on Leah.
Her blood turned cold.
The Israeli immediately forgot about Cabbage and Rowan and sprinted towards Leah and Marianne. "No," she whispered, face draining of all color, "no, no, no, not again." This wasn't happening. She wasn't losing someone she loved all over again. She wasn't watching someone she cared about die and be unable to stop it. I'm a healer, dammit, I should... I should do something...
But Gisa could do nothing but watch as Leah jerked on the ground, and after a short time, went very still. "Leah," Gisa murmured, kneeling by the other woman, being careful not to touch. The Diagnosis confirmed Gisa's worst fears.
For a few moments, Gisa did not move. And then
CRACK.
Gisa stood up, calm facade shattered. Beneath her feet, the earth began to shift, and crack, and rifts began to open in all directions.
"Oh my," Gisa said idly, "it seems I've lost my temper."
(Two down. Four(?) to go.
The sleeping beast has awakened.)

Rowan heard a shout, watch Gisa run off, and a few seconds later the ground under his feet began to split apart. He grabbed Cabbage's sleeve in alarm. "Haha WOW OKAY that didn't work let's maybe find somewhere significantly safer to stand around Ray." Rowan disliked admitting he was scared but... splitting the earth all the way to here? From all the way over there? How ******** powerful was that woman?
Rowan curled his fingers around Cabbage's sleeve and tried to tell himself that his hand wasn't shaking.

"I don't take orders from you," Whit snapped. "I only take orders from--"
Several things happened. Whit looked down to see the earth cracking beneath his feet.
"I have an idea. Let's go check on the young master and Cabbage."

Reaction time. If there was one thing Assistant had drilled into her it was reaction time, but when black suddenly shot through Leah's body the only thing Marianne could do was take a few steps back in terror and drop her sword.
Her mind blanked. Every iota of combat experience, of logic, of reckless creativity and past experiences, all of that disappeared. She watched Leah, eyes widening and mouth parted, unable to do anything but watch as the woman twitched and then simply stopped moving.
Dimly, eyes landing on Gisa as she stood up and the earth began to break, Marianne realized that she was going to die.
She picked up the sword near her feet and prepared herself for the worst. If only she had been at full strength. If only, if only, if only...
