Inquisitor: EVERYONE OUT, NOW!!!

Nobles scream in terror as they run out of the main hall. Gareth Le Parchment, now a Red Templar Behemoth, roars an intimidating battle cry. Some of the Inquisition soldiers are terrified themselves as Gareth slams his red lyrium hook down, causing the ground to shake, and the concrete to crack as red lyrium plants itself on the ground, then shattering almost immediately.

Shepard: open fire!

Inquisitor: take him down.

Shepherds men unload a barrage of bullets as the inquisitor's companions unleash their arrow. Both barely dent the giant creature, barely doing any damage. The dead guards start to rise up just like Gareth. However, they are turned into Red Templar Shadows, the guards with swords engage, as well as Wrex, and Grunt.

Bull tightens his grip on his axe as he lunges towards the behemoth. The axe cracks through barely half the hook, but gets stuck in the process. Bull is then thrown through the window leading to the courtyard.

Javik, Liara, and Kaiden use their Biotics to push the Behemoth outside, leaving a giant hole in the entrance. Bull managed to moe just in time. Then, Solas uses his ice magic to freeze the un-crystaled arm, then Garrus snipes it clean off above the elbow. Gareth screams in pain as EDI deploys a decoy to distract it, giving Vivien time to use her Knight-Enchanter skills to summon a giant blade from the fade.

The blade was so sharp that when Vivienne lunged towards the Behemoth, the blade when straight through. However, the behemoth walked towards Vivienne, with the sword still lunged in it's gut, until it's face was in hers, and roars. Vivienne was not intimidated until her connection to the sword was lost, and she is smacked across the yard. Luckily, Liara managed to catch her before she made impact with the wall.

Cassandra, and Blackwall manage to jab their swords into one of behemoth's legs, while cole sneaks behind and jabs his legs into the calf. Then, Tali gets close enough to shoot the leg clean off with one shotgun blast. The three quickly get some distance fore the Behemoth raises red lyrium crystals in front of them, blocking their path. However, James uses his grenade launcher to break a hole in the wall, helping them escape.

Meanwhile, Sera and Varric climb halfway up the set of starts, and unleashed as many arrows/bolts as possible. Suddenly, Sera sees that bull's axe is still in the hook. He drops her bow, and backs up, waiting for an opening to jump. Varric takes notice, and puts the pieces together.

Varric: you are one crazy elf, you know that right?

Sera: you just now realize that? Shorty.

Varric chuckled, he heard people call him that more than once. Shepard gets right in front of the Behemoth, ready to throw a sticky grenade at it's face. The Behemoth raises it's hook above it's head, ready to strike as James almost throws the grenade when he sees Sera jump for it. She grabs the axe's handle off the hook, but it was stuck good. The Behemoth takes notice before it strikes, and tries to shake her off. Eventually, the axe falls off, along with Sera, and a massive gap is left.

Sera: oh, Dorian. Use your spark to light the bastard up!

Dorian: I have I ever mentioned that you are my favorite elf.

With that, Dorian calls a barrage of spark, and leads them into the gap, blowing the hook clean off, along with half of the behemoth's body. Only the head, half the body, and one leg remain. However, the arm is almost regrown entirely from red lyrium crystal, and the leg is just starting to regrow. Gareth lets out one last roar before James throws a grenade in the gabe, and blows the rest of the body clean off, only leaving the bottom half. The leg stops growing, and the behemoth falls.

Sera: that... was... AWESOME!

James: you're crazy, you know that.

Dorian: and that's why she's with us.

Bull: you wanna keep it, Sera?

Sera: nah, Im good.

EDI: an excellent display of teamwork, in my opinion.

Solus: you did good taking the opportunity to remove the arm, Garrus.

Garrus: well, it's easy when the target is nothing but ice and your shooting armor piercing rounds.

Vivian: thank you for saving me, Liara.

Liara: no problem, Vivienne

Javik: the primitives of this world are more skilled than I initially thought.

Varric: well, we "primitives" tend encounter these things more often than you think, Buggy

Cassandra: and I thought a dragon was the toughest thing to kill.

Blackwall: agreed.

Kaiden: you alright, kid?

Cole: that was exciting, let's do it again.

All: NO!

The group make their what back inside the hall to to find a pile of dead Red Templar Shadows, as well as Wrex, Grunt, Shepard, and the Inquisitor standing above them. The battle is won, the Inquisition, and the Alliance are victorious.
