The bar erupted into violence. Almost at once, Seru lunged forward with a quick swipe with a burning blade. At the same time, around a dozen slugs from Eli and Alan's pistols tore at the Inquisitor's body, the metal slugs flattening and bouncing off. Following that, a flash of light erupted at the Inquisitor's feet as a horse slugged him with its hooves and a bolt of lightning arced into his back. Simultaneously, the Inquisitor's Ice spirit was attacked. The spirit brushed aside the blood spikes with little difficulty, retaliating with a volley of ice spikes of its own. The Ice spirit hissed as a fireball collided into it along side a vial of liquid. The spirit's hissing increased in aggression as the combination of fire and vial caused it to give off large amounts of steam and haze. The haze quickly solidified and was sent outwards as a sharp burst of sharpened ice shards. Seru protected the children from the shards with her body- its heat melting the shards before they collided. As the haze cleared the bar could clearly see the Ice spirit, standing in a combative stance. Its master on the other hand had collapsed to the floor, where he lay unmoving. Moments later, the ice spirit lost its form and became a cloud of ice crystals- quickly dissipating within the bar. In the resulting calm, Alan distinctly heard Ryza's call for help. Quickly crossing the distance, Alan almost casually kicked the man in the side, knocking him off of the Kusagi woman. The man gave a sharp cry of pain, but quickly scrambled to his feet, ready to resume his attack. He looked up to see Alan's revolver staring him down. The man hesitated, and Alan moved the pistol downwards and shot the man in the leg, causing him to fall to the ground howling in pain. [color=CD5C5C]"Up you get Rook,"[/color] Alan said in a calm voice, reaching out to his fallen comrade, still eyeing the collapsed Inquisitor. Inquisitors were human just like the rest of them, but he had fallen a lot easier than Alan had expected. "Is he dead?" the barkeep asked, poking his head over the bar. Almost on cue, the pub's front door swung open. Into the bar strode a tall man with blonde hair. It was Walkins. [color=Wheat]"That almost looked painful,"[/color] Walkins said cheerfully as he drew a pistol. An instant later the bar's back door swung open. Another tall man with blonde hair casually walked through the threshold. It was Walkins. [color=Wheat]"Indeed, that looked rather unpleasant."[/color] Walkins said cheerfully as he drew a Steam repeater. [color=CD5C5C]"Down!"[/color] Alan said sharply- pushing Ryza back to the ground and diving to the floor, Seru deftly knocking a table over as he did. The thick oaken table shook as a few of the repeater's rounds struck it- luckily the low caliber weapon couldn't pierce through thick materials. The steam repeater continued to sweep across the room with little regard for the remaining thugs. The Ice spirit re-materialized on top of the bar and stared down Helen, her husband, and the two children, its arms becoming large spears of ice. It reared back and lunged forward with an arm, intent on impaling the doctor on it.
