“This is Montana. Doesn’t everybody know how to use a gun?” shouted Rita as the group retreated back out into the snowy streets. If Rien had a chance to finish their drawing, it was too late: time had started again and the Wendigos had them surrounded once more. Rita looked down at her broken bat. There wasn’t much she could do with it, and she didn’t fully understand how Charlie’s abstraction worked. She thought she just had to wish something got better and it would, but clearly that had done absolutely nothing. Tears welled at the edge of her eyes. This all seemed so hopeless.

And then, as quickly as they had appeared the Wendigos vanished, running away from a bigger threat. Rita recoiled as the Hound appeared from the snow. She kept the bat clutched close to her chest as the beast circled them and growled out an ultimatum: it’d help fight the Glutton if they gave it Jordan and Madeline. 

“What,” said Rita, flatly. “None of us would even consider that!”

“Billy, wait!” shouted Penny as her brother rushed towards her. She had fully anticipated him to stop on contact with one of the Watchers, but he just phased through them at the exact same time as Amethyst called off her illusions. Breaths later, and a message from Britney got through that Amethyst could create illusions. Penny cursed under her breath. She had thought the woman was controlling the portals.

“We need to get out of here,” said Billy as he grabbed her by the shoulder. 

“Not until we save Britney,” said Penny as she shrugged him off. Caelea had blasted herself towards the twins, and Penny had to admire the brass balls on the girl. It had gotten Amethyst to turn her back on Penny, and that was all she needed. However, before she could take down their leader, they had to deal with the wave machine in the middle of the room. She turned to Billy and pointed at the woman, “I don’t care what you do, but stop that bitch.” 

Billy watched as his sister took off towards their backlines. This was insane, but he couldn’t let the water manipulator drown her with a big wave. He leveled the gun and fired two shaky shots at the water bender. He pushed the trigger one more time and heard a deafening click and, in desperation, he chucked the revolver as hard as he could at the woman. He didn’t even know if a bullet had hit her, but he hoped it had bought his sister time to do whatever stupid thing she was trying to accomplish.

Penny intended to disarm Amethyst. The woman had turned her back on them to take down Caelea, and Penny wasn’t about to let that girl get gutted for her bravery. As long as Billy handled the woman in the middle of the room, Penny was certain she’d have enough time to get within range of Amethyst. She drew closer and lifted her hand up as she dipped beyond Britney’s barrier, directing a repulsion towards Amethyst’s dagger. If it worked as intended, the blade would rip itself from Amethyst’s grip and hurtle towards one of the Obott twins. As she used her abstraction, Penny caught sight of Goro rushing back into the fray. They seemed close enough. 

“Caelea, fall back!” screamed Penny, her voice strained. “Lynette! Do it!”
