The doors to the Med-Deck crunched in slightly, and Rose and ANTIE-D stood on either side of Taran. Shalimar and Wynn, however, seemed best centered for the upcoming attack. Doubtless they thought they could better protect everyone involved.

As the doors gave way, and a flood of Reavers* came through the door, Taran waited for just... a moment longer, and made sure that Shal, and the others, had already started fighting before he made a move.

Rose used a few of her subtler tactics on the first few. It didn't kill them; only stopped their forward progress and had them rolling on the floor. Stopping the air from moving into or out of your airway could do that to anything. After about four of those went down, she began using her air powers more offensively, as a blade, and started hacking into the creatures. She had to move her arms to manipulate the wind, so it actually looked like she was hacking them with her arms- except no blood or flesh touched her.

ANTIE-D had much more straightforward tactics. She simply ripped arms and legs and heads off. Whichever was closest (or always the head, if reachable).

Taran, however, hardly moved an inch. In fact, he did move more than that. He moved a finger. And a bolt of lightening shot out into the mass of evil creatures, killing at least three, maiming more. They were almost on top of him, then, though. Taking a defensive stance, he let a few run at him. As they neared him, he would grab them solidly with one hand. At that instant, a vast amount of electricity belted through them, and they fell to the ground dead. With two hands to do that with, Taran was making quick work of the situation indeed.

But he didn't miss a beat when the creatures spoke. "Then take her in our god's name!"

Looking back, he saw a few of them gathering around Nogard. They were going to take a Dragon in their God's name??

Taran rushed towards them, through the Reavers all around, shocking any to death that blocked his path. Just as he got near, though, there was a huge bright light. then all that was left was either a friend, or dead. Taran's anger showed in his eyes, and he knew it. Yet, for the first time in a long time, he did not care. His usually placid green eyes had white lighting bolts striking down through the green furiously.

Rose came over to where Taran was, just on this side of Holly and Shal, farther than them from where Nogard had been. She looked over at Dragon, who had been fighting them from the other side. What had just happened?

"But why Nogard?" Was all Rose could say.
