The guard grabbed the AI, and turned to head back. With a thump, the Meta landed behind him, decloaking and decapitating him at the same time. He fired off three grenades to take down the guards.
Several guards died, and many of the rest were knocked over or otherwise incapable of hitting their mark, shocked by the sudden attack by the Meta.
OoC: 24 guards remaining.

"I was part of the Galbadian army. Gunnery Sergeant. Served in a squad with a couple freinds, Kiros Seagill and Ward Zabac." Laguna took some dogs tags out from under his shirt. "Didn't really like it though. I would've prefered to become a journalist." He looked at EMily and Gwen. "Wish I had stuff like that. Though it's not like monsters and wizards want to just sit down for a game of Triple Triad."
Noting that the guards were mostly stunned, Carmen threw her dagger a good distance behind the Meta before focusing herself. [color=bb0066] "Consuming all... leaves the world cleansed... 3rd circle.. Gluttony!" [/color] A small black singularity appeared over her dagger and began to suck the Meta towards it. She also used her whip to grab the AI and reel it in. She held it for the moment, not sure how the thing in her hands could teleport her home.
<color=blue>"You'd be surprised, Laguna. Even if I don't know what Triple Triad is, you have to remember that it's only the monster and his species that knows what they really are saying. A whale song is 30 minutes long. A whale is no monster, mind you, but in it it's been estimated to contain as much information as such long fables as the Illiad or the Odyssey. And only the whale could read it. A monster might want to play, but there's translation errors." She winked.
"Yeah, this is it." James said to Gwen as they went in, and he headed to the bar. "Drinks, anyone? They're well stocked, I'll give 'em that." As he began to rummage around behind the bar he replied to Laguna.
"I was fighting long before I joined the army, but when I did get signed up I was attached to a multinational unit entitled CEQ. Reached the rank of Major, though I was never really command material. I could just put down ghouls better than any man alive. I never wanted it either. Before the world went to hell, I was looking at studying nautical science in the National Maritime College of Ireland." He chuckled. "And I ended up in Infantry. Funny how fate can mess with you, eh?"

When Dromaeus entered the arena he cared nothing for what was going on, only wanting to sate his fury. Recognising the obvious power of the Meta as a worthy challenge was the only thing that saved the guards from having to face his deadly blades. Even so, anyone who got in his way was viciously slammed aside or slashed at contemptuously as he strode into bow range of the Meta. Drawing the bowstring with his dagger clamped against the weapon's handle, he fired a steel tipped arrow at the armoured soldier.
The Meta groweled as the arrow stuck in his chest, doing no major damage, and fired a few grenades at the dagger, then one at some of the guards that were recovering.
22 Guards remaining.
OoC: @David: Well they attacking at all at the moment, but they are ranged.

Laguna looked at EMily "Actuallly, I did try it once when I was bored. Suffice to say, I was almost eaten by a six-foot-tall carnivorous cataipillar." He sat, and turned to James. "Yeah..." Laguna 's voice trailed off a bit.
"So, Galbadia huh? Never heard of it. Somewhere else in time, I take it?" James asked, grabbing a beer from behind the counter. He listened to Gwen's request and laughed.
"Aw Gwen, that's not how you're supposed to respond to "fully stocked free bar"! I'm shocked!" Regardless, he grabbed a glass, scooped up some ice and filled it up from the tap with casual cheer.

The grenade would cause the dagger to fly into the air but the singularity continued to pull the Meta toward it. It was noticably weakening though. As the dagger flew, Carmen used her whip to bring it back into her hands. She used the time her spell had bought her to buff her barrier the best she could.
"Probably." Laguna said to James. "I don't know much about your world, but that's a good thing. Everyone here is from different worlds, right? You never know what you're gonna find or who you're gonna meet." He looked at EMily. "I doubt it, but maybe. I did actually talk to some cthulu-lady once. It was... awkward, but interesting."
<color=purple>"Well, I'm thirsty, and I'm not in the mood for anything else." She said with half lid eyes. She drank her water and swallowed. She made a small smile. <color=purple>"Hits the spot. Nothing beats the original thirst quencher."
<color=blue>"Could I have milk? Ice cold please." She smiled at James. <color=blue>"I guess you could say we're not big drinkers."
<color=blue>"Could I have milk? Ice cold please." She smiled at James. <color=blue>"I guess you could say we're not big drinkers."
James nodded and poured some milk before bringing down the drinks, carrying them like a man with plenty of experience in pubs. After handing the water and milk to the girls he raised his beer glass in the air then took a drink.
"Heh, I'd say a good pint of Bulmer's beats it, but each to their own. I've known people from all ends of the alcoholism scale, and honestly, some of the ones that don't drink much can be the most consistently agreeable. I think I lean slightly the opposite end myself. But hey, once you aren't an angry drunk, who really cares?" As he spoke he leaned against the window and glanced down on the fight.
"You're not wrong, Laguna. Even just among the people out there, you can see it. Lets see, we've got a handful of rent-a-cops, our resident nutcase who looks like a generic space marine, Carmen who has the whole wings and shapeshifting thing going on- and is that a lizardman dressed as a Viking? Christ. This is like a mushroom hallucination."

EMily downed part of her milk.
Gwen finished part of her water before turning around to see what James was referring to.
<color=purple>"I heard 'lizardman as a viking'. I'm assuming that's who you're talking about." Gwen pointed to Drom.
EMily's voice tried to imitate that of Sara's. And a sly smile went across her face from cheek to cheek.
<color=blue>"Gwen, it's not polite to point."
<color=purple>"Oh bite me." She took another glug from her water. <color=purple>"But seriously, this is pretty interesting."
