The knight moved faster than I would have given him credit for. In a single bound, he reached Enoch, bringing down his hammer on the unsuspecting man.

“No!” I shouted, rushing forward too late.

The hammer came down on air.

Butch, moving faster than either me or the knight, barreled into Enoch’s back. Both Butch and Enoch were sent sprawling forward out of harm’s way.

In the background of the moment, I could hear Wesley speaking with the GG, trying to get them to stand down. I had no time to stop and listen to the conversation.

Cassie brought both her blasters up on her forearms and opened fire on the large knight. Blue rounds splattered against his armor with little to no effect. The barrage was so intense, steam began to come off the knight’s armor.

If any of the rounds did get through, he didn’t show it. Instead of worrying about Enoch and Butch, he charged toward Cassie, bringing his hammer across in a wide swing.

Cassie used her left forearm to transition between blaster to a shield. The metal shield opened like some kind of fan, forming a circular shield the size of her upper body.

The knight’s hammer struck Cassie’s shield, sending the Cyber Hunter flying backward through the air and crashing against a tree.

Cryx and I were on the knight next. Preacher’s protégée drew her twin katanas and slashed out at the knight’s right hand where he held his weapon. Her attack sparked off his armor, doing no real damage.

I ran at the knight, throwing my feet into the air and striking him with both soles squarely in his chest. My force was barely enough to send him back a few steps before he recovered and came at us again.

“The Lord of the Way, give me strength!” the knight roared, as he brought his weapon down hammer first into the ground in front of him.

The strike was so powerful, the ground itself shook, tossing me into the air. I landed on my back, the air knocked out of me. The next thing I saw was the hammer coming down toward my head.

I rolled just in time to avoid the blow.

Butch was back in the fight. She came snarling like some kind of demonic animal from the afterlife, latching on to the knight’s weapon hand with her powerful jaws sinking in deep.

“Rawww!” the knight bellowed, lifting his free arm to punch Butch in the face with a massive gauntleted hand.

I was on my feet, throwing myself at the arm intended for Butch. I grabbed it with both hands, securing the appendage in my grip.

Cryx ran and jumped on the knight's back, grasping at his helmet. She ripped it free.

A wild mane of long brown hair and a thick beard fell down the man’s face. His dark eyes were alive with the fire of battle.

Cassie, having recovered from the blow the knight gave her, charged him, with her double razor claws coming out of her right forearm.

She was going to kill him, of that much I was sure.
