(Sorry, I spent a surprise weekend at an internetless camping. And my cousin is there for the week, so I'll be more active at night.

Alpha: Looks like Harkon and ??? are out of the game too... Oh well. We'll do with what we have.)

Unfortunately, the attempt is unsuccessful in stopping the attack and both its user and its targets vanish in a thick cloud of dust. It takes a couple seconds to dissipate, revealing the hero standing in a crater, weapon in ground inches away from a metallic cocoon.

Alpha & Atlas: He/I missed?

Undoing the shell, I wrap a chain around Gwen and quickly hop back several meters to put a safe distance between us.

Alpha: "Thanks... um... You are?" I ask the stranger who's intervention had just saved my friend's life.

Alpha-493: "Finally, forget the barrier. You can't be sitting ducks against such heavy blows and Valkie has already exited the vertical range. Talking about her and Dragonboy, I think it's time to cut to them."

Meanwhile, the two airborne combatants are still trading fire, seemingly incapable of hitting the other.

Matt: "This is getting nowhere. I can't hit you and you can't hit me, so how about we get more physical?"

At those words, the Valkyrie's face turns crimson. "Wh-wh-wh-what adulterous act are you suggesting? Have you no shame?" She answers, both flustered and indignant.

Matt: "What?"

Valkyrie: "The Lord sent me to Adam and him only. Proposing to lay with a servant of the Chief God who was not destined to you is simply outrageous!"

Matt: "No, you're misunderstanding! I meant-"

Valkyrie: "Such sinful behaviour is deserving of divine punishment that Aegis and I will make sure is appropriately delivered!" She  connects to her shield with the hilt pointing forward  and the two parts forming the blade separate and fold back to form some sort of arc. Finally, a string of light links the two tips, completing a weapon half way between a bow and a ballista.

Matt: "Wait, this is just a misunderstanding. What I meant is switching to close combat since ranged combat wasn't going anywhere. And that's a nice... uh... bowlista you have there, but you seem a bit short on ammunition by the way."

Valkyrie: "May the Light of Judgment shine upon thee who has risen thy blade at the Lord." As she pulls the string back, twenty-five arrows of light appear along the arc.

Matt: "Well... Shit."

She releases, the string, unleashing a myriad of projectiles.

[Done]
