Holly rushes to the scene, dragging her cadet behind her. She pulls out her Neutrino 5000, the new one Foaly just gave her the other day, aiming it at a goblin, and then pulls the trigger.
"Chix! What in the heck were you doing? Do you wanna lose your other wing too?"

[glow=green,5,300]"Relax, Cap'," Chix chuckles, unconcerned, "Goblins are stupid. Everything is under control."
And the minute he says this, another fireball just barely misses his face. Fortunately, he ducks at the last minute and avoids getting hurt.
"On the other hand," the sprite adds, dropping to hover a mere foot off the ground, "Maybe I could use a little help from the lovely ladies."[/glow]

"Chix, quit with the smart remarks! Take cover. now!!! Unless you want your face to be singed!"
Holly grabs Chix by his pants, and pulls him down.

[glow=green,5,300]Chix gives a startled yelp as Holly suddenly jerks him out of the air. He hits the ground and he hits it hard--hard enough to cause him to emit yet another yelp.
"Ow! Easy, Cap'!" he hisses, Man, I haven't hit the ground that hard since the B'wa Kell shot me down. Wanna see my scar?"[/glow]

"Enough with the scar! You've said that twice this morning! So stop, Chix!"
Holly then keeps her eyes out on the goblins, making clear aim, and firing accurately.
"Focus your fire on the goblins! I'm taking their leader down!"

"I'm ready, Captain." Tara nodded, snapping her visor shut and holstering Holly's old weapon. "Just tell me what I need to do."
She followed Holly out into the danger zone where Chix was threatening the goblins with a fire extinguisher. It didn't surprise her much when the goblins didn't back down. Everyone knows goblins are stupid.
"Chix, watch out!" She shouted at the overly confident sprite as the goblins launched a fireball at his face. She heaved a relieved sigh when he finally touched down, out of harm's way thanks to Holly.
Tara nodded at Holly's instructions and began firing her neutrino at the goblins, smirking in satisfaction as a few keeled over, stunned. The commander had said she was a good shot.

"Tara, aim at the nearest goblin, shoot him down. But before you do that, you need real ammunition. Here, a real clip of Neutrino 2000 shots, one shot of this and those goblins will keel over like cardboard targets."
Holly then takes off her helmet, removing it carefully not to chafe her ears. Elf ears are tender. Holly removes her helmet due to the fact that she was hot and sweaty.
"Try to use extreme accuracy, Tara."

Jumpy from lack of sleep, Grub jolts himself awake when several officers go tromping down the hall to help out with the goblin attack situation. For a brief moment, he wonders how he ended up in the lounge, but he quickly shakes it off and heads outside, peeking around the door fearfully at the chaos unfolding outside.
He's not about to set foot out there voluntarily, so he stays where he is. Until someone higher up in the ranks forces him to go out there, he's not moving. For now, he remains where he is on the sidelines, watching the others and hoping they will get things under control quickly.

"Not a problem, Captain. I'm a proven dead-eye." Tara grinned and stunned another pair of goblins. Oddly enough, she wasn't nervous at all in the face of combat. In fact, it was like this was what she was born to do.
She quickly loaded the stronger neutrino clips and resumed firing. She whooped victoriously as another group of goblins keeled over into la-la land. However, she tried not to get to c ocky as she new pride came before a fall.
"Looks like the cavalry is here." She commented as she noticed the backup officers rushing in. She also noticed little Grub cowering just inside the door. She smiled a bit, then returned to firing at the goblins.

"It's about time. Keep firing, but don't fire too many shot, Tara. Otherwise you'll be out of charges."
Holly pulls her helmet back on, now that she was done cooling off. She slammed the helmet back on her head, targeting the leader she shot at him, but he dodged the shot.
"Ha! Ya' missed me!"
"Not for long, scum!"

[glow=green,5,300]Chix dares to poke his head out and nearly gets it blown off for his trouble. A blast from a softnose rifle clips his helmet and nearly knocks him out cold. Fortunately, he is able to shake it off as he ducks back down.
"I think we're outnumbered, Cap'," he reports dizzily, "Looks like they called in reinforcements. I saw a bunch more goblins coming out of the alleys."[/glow]

"Oh, blast it!" Tara hissed, popping another charge into her gun and taking aim once again. "Was it this hard to apprehend the Bwa Kell?"
She jumped back as a soft nose laser shot barely missed her right leg. The gblins were closing in. If things didn't change for the better soon, there were done for.
"Chix is right, Captain." She panted, wiping sweat from her brow with a shaky hand. "We're outnumbered. What should we do?"

Holly rubbed her temples, finally the lightbulb goes on in her brain. She jumps out and yells an order to Tara and Chix.
"Alright, you two flank them, while I take them on from behind. Cover me!"

"Negative, Captain," Foaly cuts in over the communications line, "I've done the math. There are 30 of them and three of you. Those are some pretty bad odds. They've got you outnumbered times ten. Not only that, but you've got a rookie out there. You know how the commander is about these situations. Tara may be a good shot, but she's no veteran. As far as the goblins are concerned, she's just fresh meat."
The centaur taps out a few commands on his keyboard, obviously monitoring the goblins' movements and locations on his plasma screens. He breathes a low whistle as he takes note of several strategic positions taken up by the gangs.
"I suggest immediate retreat, Holly, you hear?" Foaly continues, the urgency rising in his voice, "If you stay in there, you're as good as biodegrading six feet under. Pull out now!"

Grub is still watching everything from his safe position by the door. From his vantage point, he can easily see that Holly and the others are outnumbered by a lot of angry goblins. He looks around nervously, uncertain of what he should do. He expects he won't be of much use to anyone on the frontlines. He would rather not go out there anyway. He tunes his communicator in to Trouble's line.
"Tr--err...Captain Kelp," he tries to sound calm and professional as he contacts his brother, "This is Corporal Grub. Requesting backup in sector 4 of Police Plaza. Captain Short, Private Verbil, and the rookie officer Nova are stationed behind the statue of Frond and when I say 'stationed', I really mean they're trapped. Over."
Though the logical side of his brain tells him to stay where he is, a certain instinct takes control of the young corporal and, before he can think to stop himself, he has grabbed a few electric rifles and sprinted across the square to the statue, where he dives down among the others.
"I have no idea what made me do that," he gasps, on the verge of passing out as he collapses under the weight of the weaponry he's brought with him, "Now I really hope Trub gets here with backup soon!"
