As she and Zell rotated around in some kind of back-to-back dance, MacKensie was engrossed in seeing just how far she could push these new limits of hers.  A battle against living nightmares was hardly the time for experimentation (especially with so many innocent lives on the line) but with the swordsman covering her back, she found she simply could not help herself.

First, after sheathing her dagger, she grabbed a fistful of bolts and attempted to rapid-fire six or seven bolts in a row, her free hand over her one-handed crossbow like some kind of gunslinger from a spaghetti western.  She managed to drop three skeletons in the blink of an eye, but the speed she'd tried to push it to made her fumble and drop the rest of the bolts.  "Zut!" she swore, deciding against picking them up and going back to firing regularly again, which was fast enough considering she needed to reload after every shot.

She was considering tossing a bolt into the air and trying to catch it in the firing mechanism of her crossbow, when Zell spoke up and they rotated again.  Cover him?  Oh dear, what was this idiot about to do now?

"I imagine you specialize in stupidity but I'd rather not die again, so whatever you are going to do it, do it well."

From her position, she was able to take in the whole battlefield in all it's metal and chaos; The Beserker Ogre that Arthur seemed to be dealing with handily - impressive but not super surprising on account of everyone's powers and the fact that Arthur's body and his weapon was almost as gargantuan as the ogre's.  Adam was... Adam was...!  Was that [i]really[/i] him controlling those plants!?  [i]Wow,[/i] she thought.  [i]Considering how numerous and available plant life is, and the strength of their roots, he might be the most powerful of all of us before long.[/i] And then she saw James who was surprisingly looking right back, and he was none too pleased.

"Zell! Stop fucking Flirting and help!"

"Sacre bleu, this is the impression?" MacKensie said annoyed, pinging two more headshots.  She looked back down to James again, her sharp eyes following his hand signals.  She blinked twice dumbly.  "He cannot be serious."

This was about to get crazy.  She quickly placed bolts in the spaces between her fingers on both hands, then drew dagger.  She was ready for whatever came next. As Zell flew past her, she jumped onto the battlements and skipped smartly along at pace, letting off shots and thinning the crowd ahead. As Zell let the skeleton stumble past him, MacKensie pounced on it, sinking her dagger into skull before running past the swordsman and firing a barrage of bolts to somewhat clear the path.

"Be careful James!" she shouted down to the man as he taunted the Armoured Ogre.

When Zell jumped off the wall, MacKensie almost went with him, pulling herself back the edge.  More skeletons closed in.  She jumped backwards to avoid an overhand strike, reloaded in a flash and fired close range into the back of the skeleton's skull.  A townguard rushed in to reinforce her and together they quickly took down three more skeletons.  Pressure on the wall appeared to be easing off.
