Max makes a gun cocking sound.

Max: "Who's dying first boys?!"

They're surrounded by 7 miniguns, and 6 strange soldiers.

Owen: "I'd say whoever pulls the trigger first."

BroBot: ">:(."

BroBot readies his gun.

Jason: "I don't think we want you pulling the trigger first."

Jason pulls out his knife.

Amanda: "(aiming) I'm not going to pull it."

Silver gets ready to pounce.

Randy: "Try not to turn us into cheese."

Silver: "I won't."

Chloe: "But this'll be a cakewalk."

Max's scythe has a shadowy light.

Max: "It's always easy when I'm pissed!"

Shadows extend from beneath Max, reaching wildly across the ground.

BroBot: "!!!!!"

Owen: "Get down!"

The soldiers open fire the moment everyone jumps to the ground.

Randy: "Let's hope they don't think to aim down."

The bullets bounce off the strange soldiers as they dart towards the heroes.

Silver: "I don't think they need to!"

Everyone is forced to roll across the terrain to avoid the attacks.

Jason: "This is the dumbest thing I've done in my life."

Chloe: "We have no choice."

Amanda fires two bullets at the knees of one soldier, causing it to drop.

Amanda: "Sorry that I'm the one who can really do anything."

The bulletstorm is still like a war as they continue rolling.

BroBot: ">:(."

The rocks are beginning to cut.

Owen: "We need a break to take these guys out!"

Max's shadows retract.

Max: "(salty) God fucking dammit."

Owen tries to extend his blade, but he can't without a full swing.

Owen: "Well, this is fun."

Jason doesn't have the breathing room to transform as well.

Jason: "As if my clothes weren't already torn enough."

Meanwhile...

The last of the people who was standing with Alexis is resting against a tree.

Woman: "Hey Ethan."

Her ghost rests beside her.

Ethan: "Something up Nia?"

Gunshots echo across the area.

Nia: "You hearing those bullets too?"

Two black chakrams form in her hands.

Ethan: "Yeah. What do you think it is?"

Nia stands up and heads for the sounds.

Nia: "Trouble."

Ethan: "I thought you'd say that."
