Man On The Moon

XXVI

Before the guard can make contact, a protective shield suddenly appears, blocking the attack. Everyone looks up to see Gepard, Serval's younger brother, standing there with an intense look on his face. Serval, surprised and relieved at the same time, turns to Gepard.

Serval: "Gepard! You arrived just in time."

Gepard nods, his eyes fixated on the guard.

Gepard: "I came as soon as I heard you were in trouble. You should have known better than to go into enemy territory without backup."

Serval chuckles, a small smile playing on her lips.

Serval: "Hey, I had it covered! I had my teammates here, after all."

Gepard glances over at the rest of the group with a hint of scepticism. Bronya, seeing Gepard's doubting look, speaks up.

Bronya: "Don't underestimate us. We've been handling things just fine."

Sparkle chimes in, her usual snarky attitude in full force.

Sparkle: "That's right. We didn't need a knight in shining armor to save us. We had it all under control."

Aventurine, joining the conversation, adds.

Aventurine: "We may not look like much, but we're a force to be reckoned with when we work together."

Meanwhile, Fei Xiao and Sunday watch silently, observing the dynamic between the group members. Fei Xiao leans closer to Sunday, a smirk on her face.

Fei Xiao: "Looks like they're quite the feisty bunch, don't you think?"

The Shadow of the Company guard stands before the group, facing the combined might of Aventurine, Serval, Robin, Bronya, Sparkle, Gepard, Fei Xiao, and Sunday.

Shadow Of Compant guard: "You may have reinforcements, but you're still no match for the might of the Shadow of the Company!"

The group, now backed by three powerful allies, is undeterred by the guard's words. They exchange determined glances, their weapons at the ready. Aventurine, standing at the front, speaks up with confidence.

Aventurine: "We'll see about that. We've faced tougher challenges before, and we won't back down now."

Bronya, next to Aventurine, adds her resolve.

Bronya: "We're not here to be intimidated. We'll take down the Shadow of the Company and its guard, no matter what it takes."

Sparkle, her usual smirk still in place, chimes in.

Sparkle: "They underestimated us before, and they're doing it again. They'll regret underestimating the power of our combined forces."

Robin, her eyes ablaze with determination, speaks up next.

Robin: "They may have the numbers, but we have the will and the strength to overcome whatever they throw at us."

Serval, standing firmly, chimes in as well.

Serval: "We may not always agree on everything, but we all have one common goal here. We're not backing down until the Shadow of the Company is dealt with for good."

Fei Xiao and Sunday, standing side by side, watch over the group with a watchful eye.

Fei Xiao: "It's quite impressive to see such unity and determination. They're willing to put their differences aside for the greater good."

Gepard, the stoic protector, finally speaks up, his voice calm and steady.

Gepard: "We may not be a perfect team, but we trust each other's abilities and are ready to face whatever challenges come our way. Together, we will overcome the Shadow of the Company and its guard."

The group stands united, their resolve and determination visible on their faces. They are prepared to face the challenges that lie ahead, knowing that together, they can overcome anything. The confrontation between the group and the Shadow of the Company guard has escalated to the point where a battle seems inevitable. The tension in the air is thick, and words will no longer suffice to resolve the situation. The guard, having already underestimated the group's capabilities, has no choice but to face them in combat. The group, knowing that the time for talk is over, prepares themselves for the imminent battle. The members of the group ready their weapons and take up their stances, preparing to defend themselves against the guard's attack.
