Reverse Ambush

"It's... Overwhelming, but... I still have some self control, I don't think I'd attack and kill any of my friends, at least not for a while," Yulia says.

"Good to know," Cherchiel responds.

"I think sending Cherchiel first is best. That definitely looks like people are hiding in there and I doubt they'll respond to the tentacle. Maybe we could slip it into one of the slits, but it's probably best to just send Cherchiel to trigger the whole trap since sending the tentacle might risk just alerting them that we're aware of the ambush," Isalia responds.

Cherchiel nods and hefts her shield as she moves forward, the rest waiting behind.

As Cherchiel passes in front of the slits, there's a sound like a rush of water and spears launch out from the slits, Cherchiel, easily blocks them with her shield and Isalia yells, "Now!" as she and Goma rush to Cherchiel's side at the same time Yulia fires a **** lance smashing the false wall, exposing a group of four Sirens wielding spear guns. They're all busy reloading and are surprised by the sudden destruction of their cover. There's two female sirens and two male sirens and Yulia et al clearly have the drop on them.

There isn't even much of a fight as Cherchiel simply rushes in and quickly knocks most of them down and Isalia, Cherchiel and Goma pretty easily disarm them. Yulia approaches, staring at the Sirens, her breathing heavy as she pulls out her rapier, her hands gripping the hilt tight enough to turn her knuckles white.

Cherchiel moves into her path and catches her arms, "wait..." she says and Yulia struggles for a moment, trying to pull free, but clearly fails and growls.

"Just... Just let me kill one... I... I need too..." Yulia growls.

"I know, but just wait a bit longer, they might not be willing to cooperate if you just **** one right off the bat, can you wait just a bit longer?" she asks in a whisper and Yulia hesitates and then nods weakly.

"Don't make me wait too long..." she says and turns away.

"So, what do we do with these four?" Isalia asks.
