Skulduggery and Valkyrie knew that would be found out sooner or later. Especially with the troopers slowly closing in on their position. So instead of sitting around and get captured, they thought to get the jump on these unsuspecting soldiers.

They both swiftly jumped out from behind wherever they were hiding to start their surprise attack. Valkyrie ran up to the trooper that was closest to her and grabbed a hold of his weapon before he could fire it, putting him in some kind of hold and shifted her body in a way so that she could flip him over onto the ground. 

Meanwhile, Skulduggery wanted to handle things a little differently. Rather than prolong the confrontation, he wanted to end it as soon as people. They were outnumbered after all and that usually wasn’t good. He used his Elemental magic and sent a gust of wind towards the troopers in an attempt to push them back enough for him and Valkyrie to make an escape. Now with a small opening, Valkyrie and Skulduggery made a break for it in the opposite direction. Hopefully they wouldn’t be pursued any further by these troopers after this or things will really start to not turn out well.
