For a split-second, the soldiers just stared at Mikail and their former comrade before, with a collective roar of hatred, they threw themselves at him.
Ducking the first punch the seasoned mercenary struck the Cadian in the throat with his elbow leaving him with a crushed windpipe writhing on the floor.
Launching himself forward towards the narrow corridor connecting the Hold to the rest of Zen’s ship, the Altonian shoulder barged one soldier out of his way before grabbing the leg of another as the man attempted to swing his boot into Mikail’s ribs.
Using the man’s momentum the crazed former hive ganger spun him into a crowd of soldiers reaching for Zen’s henchman and with a, horrifically powerful, boot applied to the man in front’s groin was free of the majority of his pursuers.
Reaching the corridor ahead of the horde behind him, the mercenary holstered the pistol he’d left hidden in the eaves of the doorway, turning Mikail began to walk slowly backwards as the Guardsmen paused at the sight of the pistol.
“You boys best see to your friend on the floor before he chokes to death” Mikail calmly instructed, waving the gun which had flashed into his hand unnoticed.
With each slight gesticulation the soldiers flinched expecting to be shot at any moment.
“Now im gonna join the Inquisitor and find out whats going on with those warning klaxon” another gesture to the ship’s speaker, another flinch from his ‘audience’.
Firing a couple of shots into the ceiling of the passageway Mikail received the expected- the guardsmen scattered back into the hold to find some cover away from the gunfire. Ensuring that they were all back in, the Altonian sprinted down corridor after passageway, the sounds of outrage from behind spurring him onwards towards the Inquisitor….
OOC: Erendul’s back…will Mikail be happy to see him? Well there both pretty much in the same psychological state i.e bastards |
