The wizard screamed in fury, throwing fireballs at any movement he saw. "YOU MISERABLE LITTLE RUNTS! WHEN I FIND OUT WHICH ONE OF YOU DID THAT I WILL MAKE YOU BEG FOR DEATH!"

Spy had darted off to the side and hid behind an unsteady stack of crates, clutching his shoulder in pain. He flinched as he heard the wizard screaming. His attention snapped back to the battlefield as he heard Scout laughing, taunting Merasmus.

The crystal.

Spy's eyes scanned the field, finally landing on the bright glowing crystal laying in the center. It looks like Scout was heading for it, no longer paying attention to the taller man floating above him. At this point everyone had found a weapon and had started shooting at the wizard trying to distract him. Spy cussed, switching the gun he was holding to his other hand and sneaking back out, keeping an eye on everyone as he moved.

He spotted Tavish hiding behind a pile of logs and made a b-line for him, nimbly avoiding any thrown projectiles. He all but collapsed on the ground as he finally reached him. The scot yelped in surprise.

"Ah! Spy, ye devil, ya scared me!" Tavish chuckled, clapping a hand to the other's back.

"The crystal-" Spy gasped, his lungs burning. Tavish shook his head, helping the older man up.

"Don't worry now, you did great!" He said with a kind smile. The smile fell as he looked out over the battlefield. "But now that he doesn't have it, we need ta keep it from him. Once we get it, we can break it."

Spy gave a nod as he turned to leave.

Demo raised a hand as he called out. "Wait, you need to be careful with it!" He shouts. "It's either a bomb or a portal, you don't want to be near it when you break it!"

The agent nods.

His cloaking watch sparked as he attempted to use it, zapping the agent. Much to the older man's annoyance, the watch was refusing to work. He had to be extra careful, more so than he usually would be. As he snuck around, he made sure to pass around Demo's warning to any mercenary he crossed. They all understood and made a point to steer clear of it at the moment, at least while the gunfire was still going on. Scout was still dicking around, pissing the hell out of the wizard with his taunting.

Spy felt a strange mix of annoyance and pride as he watched Scout nimbly avoid all of the wizards' attacks.

The Frenchman eyed the crystal with determination as he slowly moved closer. Just a little closer.

"YOU!!"

Spy screamed as his body flew into the air with a violent jerk. He felt light-headed and sick as he rose into the air, his body lurching forward with an abrupt stop. He squeezed his eyes shut fully expecting to be thrown into the side of a building. His heart hammered in his chest as he waited. Nothing happened for a moment. With a shaky breath, he opened his eyes to see the wizard seething angrily at him.

"I KNOW IT WAS YOU, YOU INSUFFERABLE LITTLE MAN WHORE!" Marasmus spat, raising his hand and using his powers to strangle the agent. He pulled Spy in close as he screamed. "I'M GOING TO TORTURE YOU SO CRUELLY THAT YOU'LL BE BEGGING FOR DEATH, YOU SORRY LITTLE-"

"I GOT IT, I GOT IT!"

The two turned to see Scout holding the crystal up triumphantly in his hand, A huge crack spider webbing up from the underside of the glowing green object, something everyone had missed. Marasmus screamed, carelessly dropping Spy onto the ground as he lunged at the runner.

The height he fell from was nothing to scoff at. Spy could feel something crack as he landed, wincing in agony as he grabbed his shoulder. Despite the pain he wrestled his revolver out of his coat once more, taking aim.
