The two rushed into the cave entrance, the Garleans already alert to them. The first poor soul to react saw Erik barrel down on him, his kite shield in front. As he knocked the man to the ground he turned his attention to the next three, leaving Cian to lance the man on the ground. As Erik ran, his shield still raised, the three were joined by two more. As all five opened fire, Erik squatted, the bullets bouncing off his shield. Cian ran full speed toward his friend, striding up, one foot stepping high on his shoulder, using it to launch himself into the center gunman, killing him instantly. Swinging wide with his spear he disarmed the remaining four, following that with a lance to one of them. The path clear, Erik ran into the frey, bashing one in the face. As the man stood stunned, Erik spun, slicing the man's throat. Cian lanced another, and Erik took his blade to the last man's gut. As they stood up straight, Erik wiping the blood from his sword, "Not bad, what was that?" Cian smiled, only shaking the blood from his spear, "Two minutes.... maybe three?" They laughed only to go silent with the sound of a gunblade being drawn. Without even taking a moment to register the noise, Cian hurled his spear and Erik his shield. The man, the units commander by his rank insignia, found his last moments in terror as the spear pierced his chest, pinning him to the wall, followed by the shield striking his neck, removing his head from his body.
Seeing that the mine was now empty, the two went to work. Erik scoured the cave for information, technology, and supplies, while Cian piled the bodies outside to burn and brought to the front one of their wagons for Erik to pile the spoils in. Once that was done Erik used his Linkpearl, "Bluefog... This is Sargent Mynhier, we are clear. We need men to secure and work this mine, it still has veins. Also bring my Chocobo, we have a cart full things for Flame Command, they are going to think its Starlight."
