The Queen and Her King

Night Falls

Brielle POV

Harriet and CJ were able to quickly gain swords by kicking them out of the hands of some of the newly active suits of armor, taking Harry and I's lead in going back to back to defend ourselves and those who have not yet gained a weapon. Just as we did so I could feel one of those unplanned songs coming, is this really the time for that? Well, apparently the universe thinks so,

"Watch your back, watch your back, watch your back, watch your back. We can counter their attack, hit 'em 'til the armor cracks"

We all sang together, why do I feel like this is going to be more about controlling the tempers we have in this room? Oh, have I mentioned that because I'm left-handed and Harry's right-handed while we've been standing back to back his free hand found my free hand which he gently intertwined his fingers with mine? It's a cute little supportive gesture, isn't it?

Meanwhile, Uma jumped onto the platform in the middle of the room with a sword in hand,

"This could get a little sticky, how to win this battle could be tricky. But I know the best way, fall back let me lead, you hold the line and we'll bring them to their knees"

Uma sang, but... since when was she the head of a military eh? I'll let her have her glory moment, I'll reality check everyone in a second with an actual plan trust me. Mal proceeded to jump onto the platform as well and sang,

"Swords in the air if you're with me, they got us outnumbered one to fifty but victory is ours 'cause I got a strategy, you take the left and the rest of you can follow me"

Oh? Mal needs a moment of glory too then hm? I could only laugh at their sad excuse to order everyone around as Harry and I already began defending ourselves by ourselves, but at this rate, we weren't going to win so this reality check was going to have to come fast. Uma looked at Mal with a standoffish glare and shook her head,

"This is my crew"

Mal immediately argued at her glare, slowly getting closer to Uma as they tried to stand each other down,

"Well this is my squad"

Uma said right back, I don't know what imaginary squad we're referencing because she has maybe one other person on her side still but okay,

"This is my turf"

Okay, I need to call it. I let go of Harry's hand and tapped his shoulder to let him know he was on his own for a second and skipped up and jumped onto the platform the two childish females were bickering on and put one hand on each of their shoulders after temporarily putting my sword away. I pulled them back and put on my cold demeanor as I checked them back in,

"Oh my gods, look guys we've got bigger fish to fry so put your differences aside 'cause right now we're on the same side"

I assertively sang, looking at them both a few times straight in the eyes before stepping in the middle of them and shoving them off the platform off of each side. Of course, they landed on their feet, but they just needed an ego check-in. I drew my sword again and pointed at the main suit of armor that I saw the pink smoke puff from,

"Until the night falls, everyone, we'll stay together 'til the battle is done"

I continued to sing assertively, they're funny to think that they're going to be the ones to lead this charge I swear. Not to mention Malsy, before it was "your turf" it was mine and still is so get over it. I then began looking at my fencing people, aka Jay, Carlos, and Harry and motioned to them to take certain places just like we do in fencing class for drills sometimes. They all very quickly did as I had motioned to as they all listen to me very well unlike... certain purple-haired individuals. Harry is always the quickest, whether that's because he's genuinely the best or because I'm the captain specifically who knows.
