A clapping is heard from the trees and a girl in Lolita clothing with a massive halberd walks out of the tree line, the Spartans prepare for battle but the dark elves, specifically the children, are talking and exclaiming to her, calling her 'Apostle.'

"State your name!," Tower says to her as the elves back off.

"I haven't met you, are you new Apostles?," she asks with a little blush to Tower, as he obviously was the leader.

"We're Spartans, we're stranded here, our ship is stranded and we are doing some scouting," Tower responds.

"Interesting name for such a group," she replies, "my name is Rory Mercury, an Apostle for the god of war."

"Hmm, whaddya think... there's a fire, that way!," Tower and the Spartans run off at superspeed, Rory barely keeping pace.

POV swap

A male lizardfolk kills a ratkin, this lizardfolk is surrounded by ratkin corpses because his village is under attack, he pants before seeing a large ratkin, a ratkin brute, he sighs and readies his halberd before hearing a strange whirring before a very weird noise(that of a firing minigun) fills the air, soon all the ratkin on the street are dead, he sees three metal-clad people and walks up to the tallest, who's calling out orders.

"Are you Apostles?," the lizardfolk asks.

"No, I'm a Spartan, Spartan 419 to be exact."

"And them?," the lizardfolk asks.

"She is Spartan 840 and they're Spartan 729."

"The red one calls himself a they?," the lizardfolk asks.

"Yep."

The ratfolk are dead and the village is safe.
