One of the individuals brought out a Beretta 92. A security guard, a middle-aged woman, wore a sour expression on her face. She stood up, having been kneeling before, tightly gripping her gun.
Tears streamed down her smooth skin as her semi-abrupt hiccups prevented her from speaking coherently.
"You came to our world, killing my beautiful family—my two beautiful kids—my ex who I don't care about, and everyone else! Treating us like animals?! You giant psychopaths think you're clever, don't you? You're just a pair of fools stumbling here, leaving destruction in your wake. And for what? Your selfish desires? I will kill you and tell your damn bosses that I-"
Gunnhildr interrupted her speech. "Oooh, what do we have here? A wannabe hero in these tough times! Please, shoot me, I dare you! No, even better, I insist—put a bullet in my face! Come on, try it!"
Whispers filled the air. Eyes darted between the characters and the enraged security guard. The people stood up, anger filling their hearts, along with desperation and a desire to destroy these individuals.
The clash of words reverberated, momentarily diverting attention from Chump as he took a step back.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Every human was paralyzed. Their limbs turned to lead as a suffocating wave of fear washed over them. The bullets were stopped by her tough skin. A bright red light line formed on her forehead, halting the bullets. The bullets didn't even harm her skin.
Cling, cling, and cling.
The deflected bullets fell. The bodybuilder placed both hands on her waist, displaying an exaggerated expression of confidence and power.
"KYAHAHAHA! Well, would you look at that? I said something, and it happened! Now, since you attacked me, I could perfectly demolish you to dust, shatter you into even more pieces! But you have guts, and I like that, little miss!"
The bodybuilder's arms pumped some sort of red fluid, the same color as the energy that stopped the metallic ammunition. They started growing in size as the veins bulged out, showing their strength through the scales and even shedding one or two. For a moment, everyone gazed in terror, motionless.
In quick succession, the arms grew to twice their original size. The warrior clapped her hands with force, creating a small sonic boom, pushing down the security guard like a tower of falling dominoes.
The "employee of the month" collapsed, unconscious but alive, experiencing violent muscle spasms, and twitching on the floor like a rattlesnake. Simultaneously, this pushed Chump a bit away. Fortunately, he wasn't in the main blast zone and remained unharmed.
Panic ensued.
Some people shouted like madmen in a mental hospital, while others attacked the giant woman. One person ran toward a firewall, seemingly without a second thought for the danger it posed. Ephiron noticed the man heading straight for his doom, glancing a final time at Chump before swiftly skating toward the man.

"Gunnhildr, make sure-"
"Sister, run! Now!" Chump grabbed her arm firmly and prepared to open the door.
Ephiron continued, "Ensure they do not escape!" He positioned himself between the frightened man and the blue wall of fire.
Gunnhildr groaned. "Wait a second, I'm on it!"
Gunnhildr struggled a bit, attempting to shake off the people attacking her without restraint. She was careful not to harm them excessively.
Ephiron stopped the man with a quick slap to the chest. The butler felt as though he had broken a few ribs with the hit. Exasperation was the only feeling he could manage as he took a quick breath.
Chump charged at the door with his right shoulder.
Luckily, it was a push door, not a pull.
Gunnhildr finally had a free arm as she stood tall, her eyes blazing intensely, finding it humorous. With a fierce battle cry followed by unsettling laughter, she summoned her inner strength, channeling it into her clenched fist.
Her fist descended toward the ground with earth-shattering force. The impact resonated through the very core of the ground, and a shockwave rippled outward, causing the ground to fracture and rupture.
Molten lava surged forth like a furious river, breaking through the crust of cement in a fiery display of raw energy. Small columns of scorching hot magma shot skyward, painting the air with vivid shades of orange and red.
However, the brothers evaded the attack in time and entered the cafeteria!
The brothers charged ahead, ramming into chairs and tables on their way to the second exit, outside the two walls of fire and power that had been created—outside what they believed was the danger zone.
Those inside now had nowhere to run or hide, with half of them already knocked out by the duo.
"Grab another bike or anything and let's get out of here!" Chump ordered, swiftly grabbing the same vehicle he had arrived on, ensuring it was far enough away to avoid the magma's reach.
Ephiron's voice cut through the air, carrying a subtle undercurrent of disappointment within his words. The weight of responsibility pressed upon him, evident in the furrowed lines etched upon his brow.
"And this is precisely why we emphasize the importance of rigorous agility training, Miss Gunnhildr," Ephiron spoke with a tone that held a hint of regret. "Only two out of twenty managed to slip through. I fear that Miss Ladice will not be pleased." His voice conveyed urgency, highlighting the gravity of the situation.
"KYAHAHAHAHA! Don't worry, we have a third companion on our hands," she said, taking down two more people with just her left pinky as if it were nothing. "Capture them for my bestie!~"
Impatiently, the trailer-sized bull roared into the sky. With a swift movement, it swung its head around, cracking bones and shedding some stone skin. Small fragments of stone fell from it as the majestic creature accelerated toward the walls of fire. With a thunderous snort, the massive bull creature launched itself forward.
Muscles rippled beneath its dark, stone-like skin as it surged ahead. Its eyes locked onto the swirling columns of lava in the distance, its gaze unwavering. Protected by its resilient stone-like hide, the creature's body remained untouched, and its purposeful charge continued without impediment.
On the other side, Chump and his sister gave their all to move forward. Their lives depended on it, their legs moving against the pedals with tears and sweat. As they covered a straight line over a hundred meters away, stress, fear, and adrenaline coursed through their veins. Chump cast a glance behind him, then looked forward with a scream that vividly portrayed the terror on his face.
The magnificent creature burst forth from the molten city chunks. Lava dripped from its horns, and its imposing gaze fixed on the man. An unwavering determination to ram them over was evident.
