Jodi’s soldiers attacked from all sections of the fortress, coming out from alleyways, jumping from windows and rushing out from all entrances.

Bette held her swords loosely in hand, twirling them around before attacking charging Gooru. She expertly twisted and flipped around them, taking down the giant beasts with ease. Soon her hair, face and armor were covered in blood but she never stopped her assault. She attacked everything that came near her as she worked her way toward the next area, following Tasha and the front line. Kit and the mages kept up a barrier around them as best as they could and tried to heal whenever they could They needed everyone at full strength for as long as possible.

Once they reached the market, things erupted into pure madness. The stalls were soon broken, some caught flames from the fire arrows Jodi’s soldiers began firing. The floor was littered with blood and bodies of fallen soldiers. The only sounds that rang through Bette’s ears were battle cries, groans and the clanging of weapons.

Two Lyrus rushed Bette with their arms outstretched and hit her before she could even move. They clothes-lined her and threw her onto her back, knocking all the air out from her lungs. Bette put all her weight on her back, lifting her legs in the air and kicking out as she easily got back to her feet. She twirled her swords around again and waited for another charge by the Lyrus twins.  They rushed her from different angles this time but she was ready either way. She stood her ground with her swords at her side until the very last minute, outstretching her arms just as the two Lyrus came into range. They were moving so fast, they didn’t have time to move out of the way. They ended up impaling themselves on Bette’s swords.

Just as Bette was removing the second Lyrus from her sword, a Gooru rushed her from behind and prepared to take her head. Bette heard the faint sound of an arrow whizzing passed her head and then the sound of a grunt behind her. She turned around and saw a massive Gooru fall onto its back with an arrow between its eyes. She turned back to her front and saw Shane wielding the bow that had been used to take down the Gooru.
