Demons To The Left of Me, Undead to the Right, Here I Am Stuck In the Middle With You
The sun was starting to sink on the Western horizon and into the Pacific Ocean as another day was ending. A few miles south of 1800 Palos Verdes Drive the ground erupted in a spray of dirt. One by one soldiers came forth from the ground. Some were Spartans, some were Roman legionnaires, and some were Norsemen. A total of three thousand eventually stood in the dying light. They moved into formation and started marching.

	Halbjorn notices Ohu's actions. He glances at his siblings, then nods. "Lady Sydney, thou and the children must evacuate, leave, and do not look back. Thou mayst wish to take Zoey's horse as well, there shouldst be room enow in the cargo bay. This shalt be a glorious day indeed, but tis no place for those unready to fight."

	"Thousands," Marlow said in the same soft, unhurried voice. She took several more steps in that direction. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Simon was already out the door after Marlow's first announcement. "Come on kids, this way!" he calls to the party-goers outside. "Yes, you can bring that, just move..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Halbjorn is tensing already, looking about for a weapon. He was here for a kids' party, not a fight, after all. "Zoey, help guide thy friends, and fetch thy horse. Just move quickly." He glances at Svalin. "We needst find what they seek - if they art coming here, we needst prepare to defend. There art many secure rooms, I canst hold them at the doors."

Asleif was noticeably lacking in her usual sarcastic comments or biting remarks. She even opted not to verbally eviscerate Ohu. This was, as much at she hated Midgard, her home for the moment. And simply because she detested mortals was no reason to let them come to undue harm.

Especially not children. Mortal lives were brief enough without being prematurely extinguished.

"Tis to be battle then. And few finer I wouldst have by mine side."

Svalin whistled and Tryggvi came to her. "I wilt scout and see what we art up against. Cover the Lady Sydney and the kids whilst they seek safety," she said to her siblings as she climbed up on the flying horse. "A compliment, sister? Thou'rt showing thou hath a heart."

Two strides and Tryggvi was up in the air.

It didn't take long to see things were worse than they thought.

"We hath more to fight than 'tis expected. Another few thousand coming from the south. Soldiers by the look of it. We wilt be caught in the middle."

	"Come on, kids. Let's see who can run the fastest toward that building over there," Syd said as she pointed to the building that sat over the underground hangar. "The winner will get to help fly the jet." Hey, it was motivation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ohu will make sure the children are safe. He runs alongside and hands paper plates to each of the children. As he hands them over, they become paper-plate masks... masks of demons. They shouldn't fool the Defenders or each other... but demons themselves can be most foolish sometimes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Halbjorn is fighting hard, not so much with the demons yet, but to retain his facilities and fight smart - this may be the greatest battle he's ever seen, and the bear-sark wants out. While he has no fear for his death, in this circumstance, until the others are safely fortified where they can fight properly, it would do them no good.

"Aye sister. None other wouldst I want at my back. Thy spells wilt surely win the day against such foes, and thou shalt hath the time to weave them. Mine siblings... FOR ASGARD AND GLORY!"

"Marlow, Asleif and Aridis, thou'rt most effective at a distance," Svalin said as Tryggvi circled around back to the small group of Defenders. "The roof or second story of the main building wouldst be a good place. Brother, thou want the demons or the soliders? I wilt take the other."

Tryggvi swooped toward the ground and she reached out to grab her brother's hand.

	His hand is shaking as she grabs it, and a sheen of sweat has already broken out. "Had I choice, I wouldst take them all whilst thou didst fall back below... but drop me before the demons. I am more resistant to their fell magics than thee, and fewer of the dead fly, thou wilt hold strong advantage. Fight well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif's hands were already working to weave a spell. "Stand close, and I shalt transport us there." She nodded slightly. "Fight well, brother, sisters. I have not the time to waste in mourning thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Griffen is arming himself with his shields. "I'll stay here on the ground to keep any that get through from getting inside. We don't want to put the kids in any kind of danger before the plane can get in the air." He notes they might worry. He was sure Hal wouldn't worry at all about him too much. He's the normal one. "I'll be fine, I have my shields powered up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"E'en thou cannot fight thousands on your own, brother," Svalin said as she tightly held his hand and wrist while they flew to the front line of the demon.

"I wilt come and get thee when Lady Sydney and the children are safe. We wilt make our stand at the main building."

Tryggvi swooped down close to the ground and Svalin released his hand. "Fight well, brother," Svalin said as Tryggvi started rising into the air again.

"FOR ASGARD! FOR GLORY!" she yelled.

Halbjorn grins. "Aye, but I canst buy thee time." he replies amusedly. Talking helps keep his head in the here and now. He knows if he allows the bersarkergang here, he won't be falling back with the others.

The call gets his attention, and he roars back, almost literally, "FOR ASGARD!"

Then, with a grin, he tears up one of the lightpoles and goes into the midst of the first wave, swinging away.
