Their teamwork was seriously amazing. Apparently intimidated by how quickly we’d dispatched so many of their buddies, some of the men in black looked hesitant... but others yet were still raring to go. Were they just that cocky, or was this the confidence their demonic powers afforded them? It was safe to assume that, despite thinning their numbers, we still had quite a few formidable enemies left to face.

So... what if I do this?! I released the spell I had at the ready.

“Fireball!” Normally, this baby exploded on contact, but I’d tweaked the chant a little bit.

“Break!” I snapped my fingers, and then... Fwooobababoom! High above my head, the Fireball burst, creating crimson flowers in the night sky.

Two days ago, the masked man had forced the black cloaks to retreat just by hinting at the commotion their battle might cause. So what if I intentionally made a scene here and now? I was betting it’d chase them off again.

“Damn it! This ain’t no time for playin’ around!” Luke yelled at me, none the wiser to my plan. It certainly gave the black cloaks pause, however...

All but one of them.

“Graaah!” The man who refused to be cowed charged at Mileena with a bestial howl. With the force of a berserker, he piled on attack after attack.

“Tch...!” Barely managing to deflect the strikes, Mileena was slowly being forced back.

“Hey! Lay off my Mileena!” Luke bellowed, moving in to support her (and sneaking in some shameless self-promotion in the process).

“I’m not yours,” Mileena objected, as cool as could be despite the danger she was in.

I was chanting a spell in the meantime, natch. I would’ve liked to offer Gourry or Mileena a little magical backup, but I couldn’t really do much while they were locked in melee combat. Too great a chance that I might hit one of them.

Should I work on picking off the rest of the black cloaks, then? I went to release my spell and... that was when I heard an unexpected shout.

“What?!” cried an old man on the side of the road—probably a local attracted by all the ruckus.

“Tch...” Zain looked rather disturbed and leaped back from his clash with Gourry.

Yes! Success! If we could draw a big crowd, the men in black would be forced to retreat!

Or so I thought, except the man in black attacking Mileena didn’t react the same way. He did break away from their skirmish, but...

“You’re in my way,” he said casually. His left hand flashed.

“Geh!” The onlooker let out one final shout as he hit the ground with a thud.

What the...?!

“What are you doing, Zord?!” Zain reproached him.

“Getting rid of a witness!” the man called Zord responded with unsettling glee. “Anyone who interrupts our battle must die!”

“Are you insane?! You just made things worse! He won’t be the only one who comes!”

“Then I’ll kill all of them!” Zord said, his left hand now flashing... in my direction!

Sensing a danger that I couldn’t put into words, I jumped to the side. An unseen blade severed a lock of my hair.
