"MANKIND ILL NEEDS A SAVIOR SUCH AS YOU!" the paladin shouted, raising his shield. A golden aura radiated from the armament, deflecting gunfire from both himself and Gene.

As the ring of bullets striking a grand barrier sounded off, he felt an odd sense of zen. He was reminded of a particular passage, and sure enough, his voice began to resound louder than even the hail of gunfire. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds his brother through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper, and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers."

Gabriel appeared with the loud blast of a trumpet, and immediately rocketed from the paladin's hands at immense speeds, skewering a gunner. In the same instant, the crusader seemed to follow in a quick flash and yanked it free, before spinning the spear around, dashing amongst several other blasphemers. In such close quarters, he was a whirlwind of wrath and edged weapons, too close for any of the ranged fighters to get a decent shot as he quickly worked his way through the crowd. Whereas they had to aim their guns and avoid hitting each other, Antonio could swing and kill whomever he pleased. Quickly, he switched to Michael and deflected a 9mm round with the shield, before sinking the blade into the foe's tender yet delicious neckmeats. Next, he swung Uriel at the shieldman. To his surprise, the defense held. Quickly, Antonio leaped off his feet, using the momentum of the blow to propel himself in midair, doing a backflip while readying Raphael and unleashing a hail of magical arrows into the remaining two gunners.

"And now. You." he landed on his feet, and pointed his sword at the ponce from earlier. "After I tear down your wall, I'll teach you the folly of putting your words in the mouth of God."
