Upon making this realization we realized we might still have time. We might be able to catch Legion off guard.
We started to search the building and eventually found a room from which inside a voice was coming. The voice sounded familiar, but at the time I didn't have much time to think about it as Tiff!Facet approached the door a click was heard and we all backed up shortly before a barrage of bullets tore through the door. The fight started for real, immediately after that. Legion was an army unto himself. His strange ability to copy his gun multiple times meant it was like trying to fight a firing squad. The difficult part was getting to him. Cerise tried to use her last flashbang, but that, did nothing to stop him. He didn't need to aim to simply keep firing wildly at a door. It was The Facet that managed to actually get into the room, once again using his ability to teleport. He's the only one who can teleport with any sort of accuracy... the rest of us are still random due to having to use Coda's realm.
Facet jumped in and slashed at Legion who stepped back from the attack and turned all his guns on Facet at which point the rest of us rushed in. Legion was better at fighting off multiple enemies than most solo fighters would be, but he was still alone and while he could focus on multiple people with his attacks he could only defend himself against one attacker at a time which meant we were capable of keeping him on defense forcing him to dodge our attacks so he didn't get time to shoot. The entire time however, I felt like something was wrong.
Eventually we managed to back him into a corner and disarm him. Of course most of us just wanted to kill him, but Cerise reminded us she needed him alive and we did owe her. We helped her contain him and she pathed out with him. I still felt like something was wrong and as the others started to walk out I noticed it. There was someone in the room. During the entire fight this person was watching. I glanced over at where the person was and froze. I saw my life flash before my eyes as Nathan grinned at me from the corner of the room, a shotgun held casually on his shoulder.
"Hello, Sergei. Did you think dying would stop me from getting my revenge?"
I staggered back as the familiar voice filled my head. I knew what this was. I wasn't fooled, but knowing that The Nathan in front of me wasn't Nathan normally, but The Archangel didn't make the situation better. If anything the idea of Archangel!Nathan was infinitely more terrifying. I didn't even wait. I vanished and when I got back to the others I announced immediately that we were leaving. It didn't matter if there was more to do we were leaving. Anything that wasn't packed was being left.
The others were confused, but I was too freaked out to give a proper answer until much later. Anyway after that we fled and moved elsewhere and we're setting up here. I'm gonna be laying low for the next little while.
