It seemed so simple. Defeat the enemy, everything would be over, right? His plan seemed so perfect. He even ditched the camoflague once he was close enough. The queen was injured. Still standing, but injured. Why didn't she do anything to prevent that? His reckless plan seemed so perfect. It was [i]too[/i] perfect. [i]And he payed the price for it.[/i] It was far too late once Finn's sword collided, and in a flash of light and a sickening sound of a page torn asunder he felt himself being flung away, hitting the ground with a hard thud. It took him a moment to regain his senses, and when he did, he saw something [i]very[/i] dread inducing. Briar Rose, his trusty canesword, [i]broken[/i]. [i][color=C41E3A]No. Nononono- How is this even possible!?[/color][/i] Magical weapons were meant to be unbreakable, but as he kept summoning it back to himself, it remained broken. ...Why was he still laying on the ground anyways? He had to keep fighting. Finn willed himself to get back up. But as the body in front of him rose to his feet, his perspective didn't change. No, not one bit. Its movements were strangely sluggish too. And then he glanced up. And his dread turned into horror. [i][color=C41E3A]W-What.[/color][/i] The Queen. She had [i]decapitated him.[/i] But he was still alive. His head was detached from his neck. But he was still alive. There was no bleeding, or exposed flesh and bone, and [i]he was still alive.[/i] The Queen, that damn woman that could've killed him, approached his severed head. The words that followed her sickening grin only made his heart race. Even when he tried to remain composed, glaring tensely back at the mad monarch, he was afraid. Afraid of what she might do to him next. And then she reached down towards him. [i][color=C41E3A]Nonono[b]NONONONONO-![/b][/color][/i] Luckily for him however, Mayra had stepped in and diverted the Queen's attention off him. It was admittedly hard to keep up with what happened after that. If anything Finn just wanted to grab his head and get out of there. As he tried to maneuver his body back over to where his head fell, Mayra grabbed both and rocketed the both of them back to the town. [color=C41E3A][sub]"Th-Thank you."[/sub][/color][hr] [color=Crimson][i]"[sub]Damnit, what was he thinking?![/sub] Mac, Finn's still alive! I don't know how the hell that bitch did her parlor trick, but I don't feel our mental link being severed! He's okay!"[/i][/color] Mac would hear Maura quickly informing her of Finn's condition. [i][color=Crimson]"Mayra's getting him out of there, but Oliver's position is being compromised, he might need some hel- Or maybe not."[/color][/i][hr] Things were going well on Oliver's end. The teleporter was quickly finished, the twin samurai were helping speed up the pace of actually [i]getting[/i] people out, and a cute magician dude was offering to give him a lift outta there. [color=faed27]"Thank ya' for the offer, but I ain't that willing to leave my teammates to walk."[/color] Oliver grinned. Half the populace was teleported out by now, maybe they can actually relax? Hah. No. Oliver casually glanced at the teleporter defense being broken through. [color=faed27]"Oh. Okay."[/color] Well then, he had plenty of mana left to expend. Maybe he can send out a few toys for them to play with. Along side whatever summons were helping with the teleported, the ghost summoned as much armored spirits and clones as he could with the full intend of stalling (or even overwhelming, on a good day!) the encroaching army.
