[i]Xavier did a running jump, then threw a time-stop on the enemy group that was attacking Quintus. As the enemy was frozen there, he fired a multitude of bullets from his rifle. The bullets were significantly slowed down when they entered the time-stop, but Xavier clicked his fingers and the bullets resumed their course, mowing down the attackers.[/i]

Quintus nodded to Xavier as he landed and picked up an eldar sword and threw it into an approaching warrior. The Romans were holding, but their mercenarius allies were fairing worse. Some were trained killers others were not. The toll was rising.
-
X: "Quintus, I'll put the injured in stasis fields. They cannot move in their state, but at least the enemy cannot reach them until the battle is over." [i]Xavier started throwing purple balls of energy, which exploded into the so-called stasis bubbles. He managed to catch one that was about to fall to the ground, which was frozen in a falling state. Even if the Eldar tried to pierce the stasis fields, their bullets and swords cannot pierce them.[/i]
-
The eldar fed off the fear and pain of the men as they fell and died. It was clear no help was coming soon, but a small group of legionnaires were trying to break trough to relieve them, the centurion having seen the beloved commander in peril.
-
[spoiler]It was really meant to keep them in a frozen state until medical help could be found, but whatever.[/spoiler] [i]Meanwhile, Rebecca continued to scout out the enemy.[/i]
-
[spoiler]thats just in general the Stasis fields work.[/spoiler] The eldar were beginning to sacrifice slaves to boost their power.

R: "Claudius, do you have any stealth units?"
-
"Unfortunately no, I see it too from here, nothing I can do at the moment about it."
-
R: "Dammit... I didn't want to use these, but..." [i]She materialises a gunblade out of thin air, then gets to a point where nobody could see her shoot from above. He starts firing on the executors.[/i]
-
The few remaining guards around the slaves frantically look around to see where the shots came from as the legionnaires start to win the battle. Numbers were wearing down on the eldar.
-
[i]She summoned another gunblade and continued to fire on the executors, careful not to hit the slaves. Hopefully the Eldars won't send out their last resort.[/i]
-
The executioners fell dead and the slaves picked up the weapons they dropped. Some charged to help the fight. Determined to be free, others hid.
-
[i]Rebecca took the time to inspect the armour and weapons the executioners had.[/i]
-
Typical dark eldar weapons and armor, nothing she couldn't easily find a better substitute for back in general quarters.
-
[i]She dropped them and continued to scout the enemy.[/i]
-
Their last units were fighting now, ad hoc groups began to throw themselves forward and back towards their enemies.
-
R: "Claudius, Uhhh... Do you guys take prisoners?"
-
"Not in this instance no, they would corrupt any others we have and the guards."
-
R: "Alright." [i]Rebecca sat and watched her own team win.[/i]
-
As the eldar grew desperate thy turned to summoning a daemon, trying to take as many with them as possible.
-
[i]Rebecca, taking note of this, flew over to the summoning site.[/i]
-
The rite was almost complete and the sacrifices were enough to fuel it.
-
[i]She attempts to stop the ritual by shooting at the summoners.[/i]
-
Her bullets hit too late, as she soon observers the portal opening. A loud roar is heard as it climbs its way out of the flaming portal and swipes the area around the portal with its fist.
-
[spoiler]That's EXACTLY what I wanted to happen.[/spoiler] "Ah hell... And I thought I wouldn't use up all my energy..." [i]Rebecca summoned her scythe, and darted down to the daemon.[/i]
-
It tried to much to swat her out of the air with a roar. It's blood was a black Ichor, behind it a smaller and faster daemon also came through. This one headed straight for Quintus and Xavier.
