L-Snake spun around, his tail slamming into the ground, his silver scales glinting under the flickering lights.
Sparks flew as his tail scraped across the floor.
The soldiers backed away, their weapons trembling in their hands.
Cassius's drones hovered close, scanning the battlefield.
His eyes locked onto L-Snake, his fingers flexing.
"Stay close," he ordered. "Don't let him separate us."
Victor's claws glowed, the edges vibrating with energy.
He grinned, eyes bright. "I'll handle him," he said, his voice low.
Sylvia's shields pulsed, forming a barrier in front of the group.
Her braid swung behind her as she moved, eyes steady.
"Focus, Victor," she said. "We need to be smart."
L-Snake's smirk widened, his silver eyes narrowing.
"You all work quite well together," he said, his voice smooth and mocking.
He moved his arms in a slow, taunting wave.
"But what I need are only the three of you."
He flicked his tail, his body glowing with energy.
