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.

	A pink shimmer bubble appeared around Marlow. Her spells were ready and the air crackled around her inside the protective field. "We should be keeping them out of the building instead of inviting them in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Halbjorn moves to the weapons rack, arming himself with as many throwing axes and knives as will fit on his belt, tosses a maul and a two handed axe to where he can grab them up easily from next to one of the two entrances, straps two bastard swords over his back, then picks up two battle axes, rushing to the door opposite Svalin.

"Now this is a proper fight. Worry not... none shalt pass this way, on mine word."
He's a little more composed now, further from battle, but the berserkargang is still not far below the surface.

"Keep thine wits, brother," Svalin called out to remind him not to go into berserkar mode. This position was selected because they could control the battle and use the enemy's number against them.

To Marlow she said, "There art too many to fight on open ground. We wouldst hath been o'erwhelmed in no time. This ist a defensible position."

"FOR ASGARD!" she yelled when one of the demons drew close enough to fight.

	"For victory!" Asleif slings her first spell, a ball of purest frost, inbetween Svalin and Halbjorn, freezing several demons into brittle ice statues. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marlow didn't have a battle cry and wouldn't have uttered a word anyway. For her, killing magic was silent. Her first spell turned the demons closest to the door around to meet their fellows pushing in behind them, creating a momentary confusion while they worked out who they were fighting.

	First Aridis grabs a fresh quiver of arrows. Then a thin sword that is very flexible followed by a heavy dagger. She is very glad to have such wonderful weapons at her disposal. "For Asgard," Aridis calls. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The soldiers Svalin were battling didn't have room to maneuver or effectively use their shields and weapons like they were trained. They jumbled up in the doorway, making easy targets for the Asgardian.

On the other side of the room the demons facing Halbjorn were having a little more luck. Until Marlow turned them around and then they started fighting their brethren. The ones that were turned to ice by Asleif's spell shattered into a million pieces.

	Svalin was using the spear on the soldiers. They were cramped, but she had room to effectively use the spear. She thrust it at them, skirting past their useless shields and into animated flesh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This was a holding action, little more, Asleif realized. Perhaps it was a self-defeating line of thought, but even with their godly might and powers, they faced armies the likes of which the whole host of Asgard had been scarcely able to repel. She lobbed another spell, bolts of magical lightning that would jump from demon to demon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Halbjorn turns into a whirlwind of blades with the two axes, smashing them through the ice statues and slashing through those behind.
"For Asgard!" he bellows, the thought helping him keep his mind a bit longer, anyway, much as he longs to charge into the midst of the enemy and slay as many as possible before he falls.

Trying, at least, to fight with some hint of strategy, and depending on the pair of weapons, he allows a few almost past before cutting them down, starting to build a half-circle wall of fallen demons around him to slow the charge of the others.

	Marlow tossed two handfuls of red dust into the air over their heads. Each speck of dust became a needle that overlooked human and godling flesh to bury itself in demon skin. The wounds began bubbling. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Its almost too much for Halbjorn - the greatest battle of his life, and while he's enjoying it, he has to temper himself and hold back, making this its own kind of strain. He continues to cut through everything around him, just hoping his allies have the sense to stay back and give him plenty of room as the bodies pile up.

When the axes finally break under the constant assault, he hefts the two handed axe, going right back to work. This is why he built up the pile of weapons, after all.

Through the demon assault, the idea that bothered Marlow from the start, bothered her demon minder about the hordes attacking them.... demons don't work well together just because. They needed a leader to guide, direct and put down any insurrection among the ranks. A greater demon with an agenda was at work.

It all fell into place before she cast the next spell.

"There is another!" she called out, hoping to get someone's attention. "A more powerful demon directing the army. It has to be stopped or we will die here!"

Svalin barely heard Marlow over the noise of the fighting, but she did hear what the woman was saying and it made sense. Soldiers and even demons need some general of some sort. Kill the generals and the forces fall apart. Hopefully in this case it would make them go away.

"Asleif! Marlow! Take us out of here to the back of the enemy lines! Halbjorn and I on the soldier's side and the rest on the demons' side!"

	The demons and soldiers poured into the room as the Asgardians fell back to a spot near the Asgardian sorceress. There was a brief flash as they disappeared from sight. (Reply to this)(Parent)
