He watched as blop dissolved and seemed to evaporate into the air.
"Aww, now see what you've done? Blop is going to be very annoyed with me when he recovers...and he was trying to be nice about it, too." He said in deceptively sad tone, though his smile never faded. "I'm afraid though, my dear Sleem, that you are, once again, wrong. We are far from alone...can't you see the eyes around you, staring at you? Or are they just staring at me? Hmm...I wonder."
It was at that moment two aggressors charged at him from the sides.
"See what I mean?" He didn't move as the figures drew near, only to be disrupted by bullets being fired from a gunman somewhere behind Slim. Blood splattered as several bullets hit their targets. The guy to his left suddenly disappeared while the guy to his right recovered himself and launched an attack at Sav.
"Well," He said, "It would seem we have some disruptive guests. I feel it would be in the best interest of the company if we dealt with them, wouldn't you, dearest Slim?" This was quite possibly the first time in ages he had actually said her name properly. His smile had turned into a rather stern frown.
"I don't like it when my welcome back party is crashed."

The heat sank deep into Pisces' consciousness, blackening his mind temporarily as he struggled to react in time. He flew backward in the blast from the grenade, liquefying his body just as the blaze engulfed him. "Fuuuuu..." his voice trailed as his component water flashed to a white vapor, surrounding Tsuji and Saverio in a massive billowing cloud. Ah, that was an unfortunate turn of events. Why do you insist on ignoring the synaptic firing within that thick skull of yours? Pisces' mind raged as he came to his senses, collected, and condensed into a solid state once more.
"Whew, getting a bit warm in here, hm?" Pisces closed his eyes, gripping his lance as it too solidified in his hands. Smiling from ear to ear, he lunged forward, spraying a torrential jet of water from the tip of his lance like a great fire hose. "You're all washed up, Sav! And I'm getting a little tired of my own puns, so I think I'll end this here." And with that he exhaled with a sharp, hissing sound, spewing icy, sub-zero breath at Saverio's dripping limps. The water instantly froze solid on his hands and feet, forming a delicate layer of frost in parts where the soaking wasn't as heavy.
"Cool the hell off, dude."

"Tut, tut, tut..." Could be heard as a small white beacon appeared on the ground. The beacon pattern was simple: A smaller circle inside a circle; spinning text inbetween the two circles which switched from runic symbols, Kanji, and the words "TELEPORT" ; and a spinning triangle inside the smaller circle. With a gentle flash of white, Lin appeared in the center of the beacon, carrying a new weapon.
The weapon was about the length of a one-handed sword or saber, but it was not a sword. Rather, it resembled a combination of a handgun, or a rifle, with a sword. The hilt had a trigger, modified and changed to allow firing of the weapon while swinging the sword, and two small barrels were inbetween the blade. The blade itself was translucent and thin, almost fragile, and very light.
Lin nodded to everyone there and rested the weapon on his shoulder as he walked out of the beacon, making the circle disappear with his first step outside of it.
"Now... What's going on here...?" He said with a small smirk, straightening up and walking toward Undakai and Slim...

Pisces gaped as he saw two fresh grenades fly from Saverio's hand towards him, bouncing loudly against the glossy tile floor. "Christ, you're just a walking grenade launcher with a bad mouth, aren't you," Pisces shot as he dove to avoid the grenades. Landing several feet away, he sighed a short relief and started to push to his feet when the one of the grenades bounced into his line of sight. "Well, ain't that always the way-..." was all he got out before the world went silent.
The explosion tore through his body like a sheet of loose leaf, pulling his top and bottom halves apart in an instant and sending them airborne. Echoes of the blast filled the hall with an awful din as Pisces' body, rendered in two ragged pieces, fell to the floor with two distinct thumps. Water flowed everywhere, spilling from his openings like broken faucets. For his part, Pisces was semi-conscious, feeling nothing but agony from the waist up. He couldn't see, couldn't hear, couldn't breathe...
What a dirty rat b*****d, using cheap explosives and fireworks... I can't... I can't seem to pull myself together! His mind went into a tiny panicking frenzy as he struggled to will his molecules into either a solid or gaseous state. Damn him... And just when I had him on the ropes. I suppose there's always next-... Pisces' mind blacked out, and he knew no more.

Tsuji laughs as Saverio's blaze ignites Roland, "Who cares about the corporation and trying to topple it? Undakai has provided more entertainment for me than anyone has in years!"
He drops Comedy's barrel slightly and lets a bullet fly into the ground a couple feet in front of Roland, "There hasn't been entertainment like him since that funny little German guy."
He fires another shot a little closer, "Nearly took over the world, thought he was reeeeal badass."
The third shot lands between Roland's feet, "Tried to kill himself at the first sign of trouble."
He raises the gun, staring down the barrel at Roland, "Wigged out at the last moment and had to have his b***h do it for him. Oh you should have seen his face! It was priceless!"
He glances over at Undakai, who has now disengaged Slim, and sighs, "but, Gunslinger, I now have a dilemma of sorts, I gave my word that if you interrupted that fight you would die. Now I can go ahead and kill you and be done with it, I can wait to see what Undakai, and Slim behind him, will do."
An explosion off to the side ripped past him, shrapnel nicking his outfit and some smaller pieces embedding themselves in him. He smiles and in a cheery voice says, "but whatever happens to you now, happens to you alone."

Roland felt like he was in hell. Literally. The blaze ignited his new coat, burning the bottom hem and other various places. He froze time, then frantically brushed at the coat and moved away from the fire before finally taking it off and stomping on it to put it out. He then put it back on and let time flow freely just in time to look up and see a gun pointed at him. He stared the gunman down as he fired two shots into the ground in front of Roland, and growled as the gun was pointed directly at his face. "This fight makes no damn sense! Minions helping rebels, rebels fighting each other, Undakai himself fighting his second-in-command... Damnit, this is ridiculous!" With that, he drew his own gun and pointed it back at the gunman. "So maybe I need to make it a little less confusing and start disposing of people," He said as he started to walk towards the man, gun still aimed at him. Stopping about two feet from the man, he said "Perhaps I'll start with you. After all, it might be... entertaining..."

Lin stood and thought for a small while, reflecting on what is happening in this situation. From what he can understand, there seems to be some state of confusion going on: minions attacking minions, rebels attacking rebels, minions attacking rebels, Undakai fighting Slim then stopping, people fighting pe -- "Wait... Master Undakai was fighting Sim?" he pondered to himself.
Two confused minions spotted him and called for reinforcements before running toward him. Lin smirked a bit and readied a swing from his sword, which seemed to resonate with some haunting melody. People might call it a Singing Blade, but he's too practical for such frivolities like magick or enchantments. This was all technology, created by man.
Nearer and nearer these groups of people charged, and he waited for the right moment. He sighed and watched, waiting patiently, calculating, anticipating them all to clump and approach. "They're all together now... It'll be easier to kill..." He thought, firmly grasping his weapon.
With a yell, he swung at the air, not actually swinging at them, releasing a sonic boom of sound. People behind and to Lin's sides could hear a haunting bass tremolo of sound, but the hapless minions, victim to Lin's attack, shook and rattled with the vibrations.
To those minions, it was as if Nature's fury, an earthquake, passed by them. Many fell and flew toward one of the walls (and one even flew to a window to fall to their death). For some, the noise resonated with their bodies, causing them to shake and convulse, even rupturing -- blood spattering all around them -- from the sympathetic vibrations interrupting their very core. In any case, it was a show of skill. Those minions were gone and no longer bothered him.
"...Can anyone tell me what's going on, please?" He asked, mainly rhetorically, though he was curious.
