The stone monsters had attacked with little warning. Even with the presence of MAVERICK soldiers and powerful warriors, little prevented them from assaulting the innocent onlookers, and even less made them differentiate between those who posed a threat and those who didn't.

A particularily large one only had to [i]walk[/i] through the stands at a particularily congested part, swatting asside dozens of bystanders with a single swing of it's massive arms. Three MAVERICK soldiers had positioned themselves in front of it, forming a V formation, firing their weapons at it. Yet their bullets bounced off of it's body like rubber bands, rattling against the ground beneath them. With one thew, two of the troops were sent flying to the side. The remaining soldier continued his futile gunfire, until the series of small explosions turned into rapid clicking. The soldier could only look on with fear as the stone giant marched ever closer, raising it's arms for one last swing...

Then, suddenly, he felt something shove him to the side. No, not the stone giant, like he expected. He was shoved by something running from behind him. Some guy in Crusader armor?

The Crusader ran straight to the golem, lunging forward with nothing but his fist aimed at it's chest. As the fist connected, for a vague moment the soldier saw the giant bathed in hundreds of yellow cracks across it's body, before it suddenly erupted into thousands of pieces. His savior said nothing more, running forward into the fray. 

Emmanuel stood still as he saw another Stone creature, albeit this one was smaller, yet still towered over the crusader. As the creature raised a makeshift piece of debris as a weapon, Emmanuel's fist lunged forward, dragging him behind it. The Crusader tore a hole straight through the brute's body, crumbling it in the same manor as it's larger counterpart. More stone monsters took notice to Emmanuel's display, and charged towards him. With blows of his fists, Emmanuel destroyed each of them. This battle... It reminded him too much...

But there was no time to be overcome. Emmanuel had only slayed less than a dozen, and there were still many more.
