Marcus paused for a minute, watching the fighting take place. He knew that one of his elemental shots, being on his Crossbow, weren't effective to a horse engulfed in flames. He would just have to keep hitting the beast with the Stunning shot, to give everyone a chance for survival. From what it seemed, many of those fighting didn't go for any defensive strategies as much as he anticipated, and their skills were mainly settled around close or mid-ranged manoeuvres of offence. It was typical to see that, from anyone wanted to ensure damage was inflicted at any cost. He waited for a while, allowing his bullets to regain their place in his magazine once again for the 8th time. His Elemental shot was at a recharge rate of two bullets, signalling it being able to be shot, with the expense of two rounds. This would, however, inflict a quicker and less effective shot if hit. He had to keep waiting. Once again, he began to shoot at the target. [i][color=6ecff6]"Uhm...Marcus...you better hurry up with that Elemental Shot..."[/color][/i] The horse reared upwards as a shot made a piercing effect just between the eyes. It must've dug in at least a metre or half of the distance he wanted, but it wasn't enough to get anywhere near cracking the skull. The thickness of the fur, fire and skin made it a tough target to penetrate, and higher calibre rounds were needed to get through the target, something he'd have to work hard to maintain. The eyes were felt bearing down on Marcus as it began to shrug off some of the simple attacks the other warriors were inflicting upon the beast. Soon it became clear that he was in a shit tonne of trouble. [i][color=6ecff6]"Uhm...Marcus?! HURRY UP!"[/color][/i] "One second...Literally...I just need to stun it..." He felt tension and fear split into him. He'd been fully spotted, and he was still waiting for the shot for fully regain its ability. "Come on...come on, dammit!" He looked down at the rifle, lining up a quick shot. He could either move, or take it. It was a tough call, but for the will of the team, it would've been worth it. Suddenly, he saw on his Head's up Display that it was indeed ready. He looked up and quickly fired, as soon as he took the shot, a flinch caught him as he saw it approach. As if time slowed down, a fireball sped towards him, targeting him directly. As soon as the elemental shot charged up, it fired only at [b]The[/b] last second. The electric blow spun through the sky once more, tearing through the fire and splitting it into two. It wasn't enough though...both flames bared down either side of him, flinging him into the sky and throwing him down the hill. With every slam onto the ground, he felt himself slowly dying, getting weaker and weaker. It was that until he finally came to a stop at the bottom of the wrong side of the hill, the otherside of the action. He had literally been flung over the hill. Whether the elemental shot had hit and stunned the creature was beyond his comprehension...but he was far away from everyone...far far away...and he looked slowly to his right side......
