Hector groaned when the mansion came under attack. Of course this had to happen, their mission already went too smoothly with assassinating the President. He pulled his gunblade from his belt and his thumb slid over the switch that released the cylinder, once flipped, he flicked his wrist, causing the cylinder to pop out. He inspected it to make sure that it was fully loaded, once again to be sure, instead of normal Vibration shells it was loaded with six shotgun shells. Satisfied he flicked his wrist in the opposite direction and the cylinder snapped back into place. He then lifted the gunblade and rested it on his shoulder while taking his cowboy hat off and placing it gently on the table as Duncan was explaining what they should do. He sighed when he heard him give the old [i]Force your Way[/i] routine. Jericho piping in that it would be a slim chance of surviving. For once he agreed with the guy, though he would have said no chance. Especially when Duncan said to split into small groups. He personally believed that if they had all stuck together they would have made it through.


 As the others rushed out to fight, by exiting through windows or whatever, he looked to Duncan “See you in Timber,” He said plainly. He knew he probably wouldn’t make it, but that was his lot in life as a SeeD. Expected to do the impossible. Might as well take out as many people as he can and maybe, just maybe get everyone else out to safety. 

He looked to Selena who was rolling her shoulders with tonfa’s in hand. Nodding indicating each was ready, they turned and made their way to the front door. Once there, they both took a breath and rush out of the mansion and into the fray. Shadow running alongside them as well.


He and Selena worked flawlessly together, covering each other’s back as they ran headfirst into the wave of people. Despite the gunblade being a difficult weapon to master, Hector had great control over it, parrying, slashing, stabbing, bashing. While Selena was almost effortlessly taking down each opponent with one- two blows.  The soldiers had a hard time as Hector and Selena would often trade places, using each other's momentum to vault them over each other or to hit another enemy. Shadow helped as well, biting ankles hopping up and pushing off chests, just enough to distract the man before being taken down by either Selena or Hector. 


But even though they were seasoned SeeD’s they did grow tired at the onslaught of people. After getting in a tight spot and facing off with one soldier he managed to get in a deadlock. He finally decided to use his special weapon. Another soldier came running up to his left, trying to take the opportunity to strike him down. He twisted his blade just so to aim at the man and pulled the trigger. A much deeper and louder shot than a normal Gunblade sounded off as the slug hit the would be killer in the chest, causing the man who was deadlocked with him to stumble back at the surprise, allowing Hector to kick him in the gut and hit him in the head with the bottom of the grip. 

He then rushed forward and unloaded his chambers into the crowd in front of him, slashing in between shots as well. Many soldiers fell to his shots and blows, creating a wide berth between the enemy and Selena and himself. His speed was almost unnatural as he flicked the chamber open and popped out the spent shells, replacing them with a single movement as the extra ammo was placed in a special clip designed for his blade to hold all six shells in place so he could just slip them all in at once, instead of doing it one by one. He unloaded his weapon and slashed at his enemies, two more times. With enough breathing room now he snapped his fingers and suddenly Shadow grew into his GF form, howling as he stood between the enemy and Hector. He started to attack the men in front of him, while Hector looked around to see Jericho being hauled away, Heliose making a dash for him, Xerox still putting up a good fight, and Rachel down as well. 


Selena was breathing hard but she managed to summon her GF as well, Shiva. Using diamond dust, it cleared much more of the enemy from court yard, which would have given Xerox and Heliose more breathing room. while Shadow batted at men like a cat with mice. 


Hector took this second to look down at himself to see him covered in blood, some from his enemy, some his as he notice some nice gashes on his gut and side, plus more cuts on his arms as well. He took a potion from his pouch and drank it, also giving one to Selena. Instantly feeling 10 times better, though it didn’t mean his wounds were healed, they stopped bleeding, and were clotting faster. But it still hurt. 


But no matter what he and Selena did to thin the crowd, it seemed more and more were coming. He took this time as well to reload his gunblade with his last cartridge. Readying himself as he moved closer to Selena.
