"Save yourselves the trouble and stand down while you ca~ ...never mind." Aegis rolled his eyes as Ryuji began tearing into the disguised Enforcers. They fired a wave of ranged magic attacks at him as soon as the word 'Shirahama' hit home. They had to take him out, no matter what. Unfortunately for them, Aegis was already using a large Wave Barrier to nullify the ranged attacks with little effort. When they stopped firing, he threw that same barrier into a formation, sending many of the enemy flying or getting forced to the floor by the intense vibrations. Those who weren't injured would definitely be fatigued after being on the receiving end of the Waves. "Break your chains to the Council and run! There's no reason for any of you to die here!" He yelled, but his plea fell on deaf ears. The Council was everything to them. They signed these people's freakin' paychecks, and they had no idea what was really going on behind the scenes.

...Aegis had to admit, these pathetic excuses for Mages weren't worthy of being called 'protectors' anyway.

Rico meanwhile jumped into the middle of a large formation of Enforcers. They all turned to him and charged in, but as Rico landed he sent a destructive pulse into the ground sending everyone around him launching into the air. "Do as the nice man says, you bastards! We're sure as hell not surrendering, but you should!" The pissed-off crash mage shouted as he started breaking the enemies weapons into little pieces with his bare hands and the magic aura surrounding them. Anyone else who got in his way wasn't disassembled or torn apart, but the force of Rico's punches was enough to take them down without too much trouble.

"No, no! Over the frickin' bridge!" Luka said pushing on Tamotsu's arm, "Isn't it like.. our job.. to stop this?!" She switched to pulling instead, but being the weak gunslinger, Tamotsu wouldn't budge.
