Paralyzed from the rush of adrenaline he knew he was experiencing because his heart was beating at a rapid pace and all because of that almost fatal blow he could have taken from whatever shot out of that monster's rifle. If he hadn't tackled the girl down when he did, they'd both meet a similar fate her door met. But another reason why he felt frozen was when another shot came and she pulled him down to where they were in a very similar position and the beam of whatever-it-was shot through the wall and the roof. The sight of the debris brought Levi back to planet Earth. [color=008080]“Hand over the energems and I’ll let you live!”[/color] [color=228b22][I]Huh?[/i][/color] Levi blankly glared at the freak of nature who made such a demand with a puzzled expression. [color=228b22]"What are you talking about?"[/color] After the confusion set in and remained on his defined face for a few more moments, Levi found himself on his feet, turning around. When the girl went for one of those things on the ground, he saw her pick up the blue one. He couldn't explain why, but he felt a...pull towards that green one. Like something beyond his comprehension was at play. Levi wasn't a believer in things like that. He found it to be too complicated, but he knew that his gut feeling was always right and it told him two things. One, something terrible was going to happen today, which based on the past five minutes, it did. And two, if these glowing rocks were those Energems (he was venturing a guess), then there was no way the worst cosplayer ever should get their hands on these. As he picked it up and held it in his hand, it felt rough, but at the same time, it felt as smooth as granite. As he examined it, he heard his former customer taunt the monster and he cracked a smile as he closed the hand with the crystal thing in it, looking at his former customer next to him, leaning close. [color=228b22]"You sure you should be taunting him like that? If he hits us with his rifle, well..."[/color] Levi glanced behind him at parts of her house that were in rubble, [color=228b22]"well if it did [I]that[/i] to your house, what do you think it'll do to us? It's not like we have anything to defend ourselves with..."[/color] [/indent][/indent][/color]
