[h3]--A Marksman's Gambit--[/h3]

[color=ff991c][b]"..."[/b][/color] The sniper stared wide-eyed, pupils stayed unblinking but her brows shifted from one of tranquil fury into genuine shock as the unholy nun seemingly shrugged off her melody, one that she flexed all of her arcane muscles into at that. This goddamned [i]human[/i] held all of that power and she used it to side with a bloodsucking abomination... well, not that Valkyrie was surprised, some humans were practically monsters after all, thus they should too be considered as enemies of humanity, just like their monstrous masters. The only right thing to do was to cull them like the disease they are. 

Valkyrie was indeed about to try again, hey, she was no knight-in-shining-armor, if the enemy allowed her to score a free hit, then she'd graciously take it. If Melodies don't work, she'd simply use regular bullets this time. [color=ff991c][b]"Eh...?"[/b][/color] But that was when she felt a demonic hand against her chest; being familiar with said hand meant she could immediately identify it as Silhouette's, but what she didn't expect was the sudden feel of being pulled away via magical force, the brunette winced as the oil made both her body and the floor quite slick, causing her to continue sliding until she practically bumped against... something; was it a pillar, a statue, or even a teammate? The chaotic situation didn't provide her with much opportunities to investigate...

For she spotted - and felt - the heat of flames swiftly approaching, their rage fed by the petroleum splashed haphazardly on the hall. With her lying on her back, slick with the very same substance, there'd be not enough time to recover, let alone evade! [color=ff991c][b]"Nnngh...!"[/b][/color] Fortunately, neither of those would prove necessary as Breacher's magical towers brought her out of harm's way, in addition to giving her a much-needed vantage point. Valkyrie sighed, feeling relieved for a brief moment before she steeled herself again, the battle was far from over. 

By the time she had scanned the battlefield and spotted Leroux's position, the hammer paladin was already facing off against the... nun? Huh? Wasn't her opponent the smug pianist? How could the fake sister get there so fast? Magical shenanigans, obviously. Orange eyes widened as the swordsnun struck Leroux's belly, grievously wounding her there. Not only that, some kind of centaur-spider creature thing was barreling toward her too. To say that she should do [i]something[/i] to assist her ally was incredibly obvious. 

She recovered into an aiming position as that bloodsucker - what was his name again? - started another tirade, yet again proving why monsters must be purged from existence as he murdered more innocents. At this point, her mind had tuned out whatever bile Arzendale could spout as the moment she saw those chained hostages, she [i]knew[/i] their lives were already forfeit.

She and her comrades wouldn't be able to save them, that much was true... 

However, they [i]could[/i] prevent these subhuman scum from ending more lives.

[color=ff991c][b]"..."[/b][/color] Her composure regained, the Nordic Warrioress' eyes focused on her scope as she trained her aim at Centrocious. Yes, she saw how Arzendale used the victims' blood to lob blood spheres at her, but her personal safety was second to her obligation to Leroux, for she knew that none of them was alone, not Leroux, nor herself.

[color=ff991c][b]"Breacher, cover me."[/b][/color] Valkyrie informed the shielded dragon, her voice cold without emotion even as orange sparks coalesced along Teslic Gauss' barrel. 

She pulled the trigger, launching a bolt straight at the back of Centrocious' humanoid head.
