Thread: Deus Ex Machina (BlisteredBlood x darkangel76)

Deadman continued to leave his arm cannon outward, listening to the various noises that came from all around them now, almost as if he was expecting something - any thing, for that matter - to come out from its hiding place and make itself known to him or else run the risk of getting atomized. But just where were the possibly enemies coming from and who were they? That was what he wanted to know. Soon enough, the same scanning visor came down over his eye once more, releasing with it an ultrasonic sonar ping. Soon enough, three enemies were approaching their location and they were coming in quick. Dammit! Just under my nose! Deadman began to rationalize as he glared back at Mara. This was her fault, he thought before looking back at the door with an increased sense of aggravation on his face before he shook his head slowly. No, there was no time to pin the blame on anyone now. There was a time for pinning the blame on someone and there was a time for action. And right now, decisions had to be made. The exit. Where was the way out of this place, he wondered. God, this place was so run down, that he could barely even tell! If he had to, he could make his own way out with a charged blast to the walls, but he wasn't so sure. Besides, there was a great chance that he would wound up hurting Mara in the process! What was he to do?! Then suddenly, a banging noise, followed by someone grunting out in pain! Someone broke through the door when he wasn't even paying attention! Shit, this was getting worse and worse by the second! Even moreso when a certain alarm went off on his visor, informing him of a potential threat was coming their way! At first, Deadman couldn't believe that she alone would try to have the audacity to charge into combat alone without any backup, but that fact remained the same. She was looking to get beaten down by those two if he didn't do something soon. He could fire a warning shot and get them to back off, but that wouldn't do any good. No, he had to do something more drastic this time around. Something that would have to get their attention long enough for them to do exactly as he said without question. It would be tricky, but Deadman had no other option. Soon enough, his arm cannon disengaged, allowing his right hand to pop back out then reach for the handle that was behind his left shoulder and held it out for a moment before pressing a button on it as a bright jade beam of energy had now sprung out from it, taking on the form of a longsword's length. Without warning, Deadman would soon spring in the fray, charging at the two assailants from behind one of then then took a full swing at one from a diagonal angle, the energy blade easily cleaving through that man's armor and searing through flesh with equal ease before knocking him down to the ground with a well aimed backfist to that same soldier's head. Once that soldier was out of the way, he extended the beam saber out towards the man that was holding her captive, his eyes of blue fixed upon him with a deathly glare. Attention, assailant! Deadman snarled out to him. You have but five seconds to release your prisoner into my custody before I am forced to employ lethal force on you! Comply immediately!
