"Ren!" Sasha exclaimed, surprised to see him here. "Where the fuck did you come out from?"

Before their little reunion could play out, Sasha's worst fears came true. A pseudospace expanded around them, removing the soft background noises of the world. Sasha glanced around in panic, but they were hidden out of sight from the streets. Checking her minimap, she now saw two [i]red[/i] blips not too far away. Curiously, there was another green blip right in front of them. A message arrived in the next instant. Sasha quickly scanned through it. 

"Oh my god, Silas is out there. Those must be the hunters Genji told us about!"
"This isn't good... we need to think of something quickly before the enemies attack Silas or find us here..." Ren said, drawing his weapon, a knife. Sasha remembered that she too had one, and equipped it from her inventory. She carefully creeped up to the front gate, and peered out through a gap. Sure enough, there was the tall young man standing down the road. He had his katana out. Suddenly, there was some rapid movements, and a giant hammer swung into sight. Sasha saw the wielder next, a large man in a suit of armor. Looking at his level, Sasha felt weak.

"Oh my god, he's level 20! And there's another guy wearing robes behind him!" Sasha whispered to Ren. Silas was a madman to try to take them on, but she understood why he was calmly fighting. He believed that they would come to his aid. After all, he did say he trusted Sasha... [i]Gaaah, fuck you Silas for guilt-tripping me![/i]

"Fuck this. Ren, let's take out that guy in the back first. He's looking like a stereotypical mage, which probably means that he's easy to kill. I'll circle around to come behind him. I'll jump him then retreat, and then you can bust through the gates and open hell on them. Once the mage's down we can gang up on the armored dude."

Sasha started scaling over into the yard of the next house without waiting for Ren's reply. They didn't have much time before Silas was subdued, and an equal fight against people far higher leveled than them did not bode well.
