It was only then that Gangrel recognised one of us.
"A prince of Yilisse in our midst! Oh now this IS golden! I think I'll take you first actually. Your name... It's erm... Red isn't it?"
"Owain, if you please" Owain responded, clearly too used to being called by his brother's name.
"Well, I don't care to be honest. Either way you're first, princey!"
Two men marched up and seized Owain by his shoulders, muscling him towards a chopping block that had been brought out.
"My sword. Fetch it. A royal execution can be done no less than the highest finesse!" Gangrel said. One of his servants shuffled into the room with a golden sword, thin and straight. The kind cavalry would use while on horseback.
"Now would probably be a good time to act, Cloud... He's actually going to do it. Pit had better be a good shot, because he's our only one." Wario mumbled under his breath, prompting Pit to subtly ready his bow.
"Ladies and gentlemen! For my next trick, I shall remove this man's head from his shoulders in less than a second! May I have a drumroll please? Where's my drummer? I can't execute someone without a drumroll!" a boy with a drum hanging from his neck to about his waist appeared. He looked as if he were only 9 years of age, but to think what that boy would have seen in his job...
Pit grabbed the string of his bow and generated one of his angelic arrows.
"Aim for the heart, Pit. Shoot to kill. Time to spring this trap!" I whispered to Pit. Gangrel raised his sword above the back of Owain's neck, with Owain losing confidence by the second.
Pit lifted his bow and loosed the arrow right at Gangrel's chest. PING! The arrow deflected off his chestplate and left Gangrel momentarily stunned, but completely unharmed. Guards seized Pit's bow, leaving us all without means of saving Owain. I made a break to run towards him, only to be knocked in the chest by a guard's armoured arm and winded a little. Wario began wrestling with another guard as we all tried to advance and save Owain. Gangrel chuckled and once more lifted the sword.
A shot from behind hit Gangrel and killed him on the spot. Samus, gun smoking, walked up to him and placed her foot on top of his corpse.
"You forgot about me you creepy, red-haired, mother-"
A Dragonite burst through the wall, followed by more of League Army troops.
