The "Life Finds A Way" Test Drive Meme

THE "LIFE FINDS A WAY" TEST DRIVE MEME

The Time Trapper, the being responsible for bringing people into the Legion's universe, is up to some strange tricks! It's now creating illusions of alternate universes and dumping the Legionnaires into them to try to test them as Legionnaires. Each time this happens, the captives -- er, participants have knowledge of the scenario, their role, and what they're supposed to accomplish planted into their heads, but still remember who they once were. To complicate things, the Legionnaires from the 31st century aren't the only ones pulled into this adventure. Strange people from many worlds are being yanked in and finding themselves thrust right into the heart of these conflicts. These universes technically are just illusions (probably!) and all the participants have an inherent knowledge of this placed in their heads, but it's up to them if they believe it -- and the danger is real. If you die in one of these scenarios you stay dead. This time everyone is being dumped into a scenario where they're dealing with... DINOSAURS THE SETTING At its opening, the Cretaceous Days amusement park was considered one of the most technologically advanced amusement parks ever created. The technology of the United Planets was advanced enough to allow for the cloning of a variety of prehistoric species from many worlds, from Earth's ancient, feathered dinosaurs to the scaly pretorians of Colu's past. Now the park has broken down and the animals have gone out of control! With electric fences failing, forcefield walls going down, and all protective technology being mysteriously disabled, everyone in the park is in danger. Dinosaurs from Earth's ancient history are running wild here, but prehistoric animals from other worlds are just as vicious and ferocious. While this is possibly one of the Time Trapper's strange pocket dimensions, this dimension is very similar to the game universe, and whether or not the sentient beings in need of saving are real or not is impossible to tell. It's a bad idea to risk not helping them in case real lives are on the line. Based on player preference, for the purposes of the meme, characters can either lose powers, retain their canon powers, or find themselves with new powers. It's up to you. SCENARIO A: RAPTORS Forget velociraptors, herds of larger Deinonychus are now freely roaming the park. Dangerously intelligent, they're hunting in packs, and smart enough to use various tactics to herd and surround their prey. Places like the vast indoor food court and gift shops can sometimes be used against them, since they provide hiding places, vents, and areas that can be closed with doors. The deinonychus aren't the only things that can work in numbers. Perhaps if you team up against them you'll have a chance of survival. SCENARIO B: GIGANOTOSAURUS The T-rex's bigger cousin, a Giganotosaurus is now rampaging around the park, and it has one hell of an appetite. Perhaps you can escape by climbing up a tree taller than it and jumping from tree to tree to safety. Or maybe you might figure out a clever way to trap it once more. Whatever the case, if you don't successfully stay out of its reach, you'll wind up its dinner. It's a good thing you don't have to face the hulking monster alone. SCENARIO C: ALIEN CREATURES Dinosaurs aren't the only prehistoric animals rampaging around the park. The tentacled let'ek of Omiclon 6 might try to choke the life out of you. Or you might find yourselves mesmerized by the hypnosis powers of the blue-billed Stenothians from Winath's ancient times. (Players may make up any ancient alien creature they like for a scenario and make up ways for it to be defeated.) SCENARIO D: PROTECTING CIVILIANS Personal survival is important but most of the civilians trapped in the park don't have a chance of escaping the many creatures that are now loose -- unless you work together to give them one. There are shelters and safe places they can be taken to, and even places where you can find small escape ships to evacuate. SCENARIO E: WILD CARD! There are all different threats and objectives possible within the park. Perhaps you have the technological skills to turn on the safety protocols in each of the sections of the park, one by one -- but only if you can get to the manual consoles. Perhaps you can tame some of the more docile creatures and use them as mounts or convince them to attack the predators threatening you or civilians. Maybe you can find a way to safety through some of the automated systems that handle feeding (or waste processing) but can't get through the dangerous obstacles in them without the help of a new ally.

Comments

Julian Bashir | Star Trek: DS9 | Scenario D

[asklepian]

A theme park with bloody dinosaurs. Whoever had considered that a good idea needed to have their head checked, because in his professional opinion something was terribly wrong with it.

Of course, he'd found himself there just as everything was going merrily to hell in a handbasket, and without so much as a medkit, much less a phaser rifle.

His uniform sleeves rolled up to the elbows, Julian was gently examining the leg of a young alien girl who'd tripped in the chaos and hurt her ankle as they hid in one of the darkened rooms in the visitor's center with a group of frightened park visitors. Her mother was watching him work with a nervous expression, eyes and antennae flicking towards the barricaded door every so often, obviously frightened of the roaming packs of ancient beasts.

"It's alright. You'll be right as rain in no time," Julian says soothingly, rubbing the ankle joint. It's not broken, just a mild strain.

He hears voices on the other side of the heavy door, too low to make out words, but--well, dinosaurs can't speak, so he feels fairly confident in presuming that these are people.

Leaving the little girl to her mother, Julian gets up and goes to the two men who'd volunteered to guard the door.

"I'm going to head back out there. Keep everyone else in here, and don't open the door to anything that can't tell you who they are."

Julian pulls open the door just wide enough for him to slip out, keeping an eye and an ear open for things that wanted to eat him as well as people who needed help.

Re: Julian Bashir | Star Trek: DS9 | Scenario D

[fingerwiggle]

"Whoa, hey. You can't just go out there by yourself," said the young man who'd helped bring several of the tourists inside.

Bridge paused, reconsidering that statement. "Okay, so technically you could. There's nothing making you incapable of leaving by yourself. What I actually meant was it would be a very bad idea to go out there by yourself. I'll go with you."

[asklepian]

Julian waited until he corrected himself, eyebrow raised. He was an adult by any measure of the word, bad ideas not withstanding.

This wasn't exactly a fight he wanted to get into--if said young man wanted to go out with him, Julian wasn't going to argue.

"Suit yourself."

[couldputitback]

"Wait a moment, please!"

Faiza hurried up behind the other doctor, looking...well. A little strange. The white coat and white hijab probably wouldn't be that strange to Julian, but the sword on one hip? Probably a bit incongruous. Still, she's quick enough to get to the door "You probably shouldn't go out there on your own. Two people can keep an eye out better than one."

[asklepian]

Julian stops just before the door, turning back towards the woman speaking.

"...true. But we could also use someone here." Is it the best division of labor to take two doctors out into the field, where one could do good here?

He glances down at the sword at her side, looking obviously confused. While he would have appreciated having a weapon himself, he'd been hoping for a phaser personally...

Re: Julian Bashir | Star Trek: DS9 | Scenario D

[immafrog]

Adam was quick to reach out and try to grab the man's arm, he was already morphed into his Ranger suit to better protect himself as they'd gotten the civilians into the building. "Whoa, hey, you shouldn't go out there alone."

He looked around the room and to the other person here guarding the door. They'd be fine, he thought. He knew they should probably find out if there were more tourists around, but the main issue was simply an escape. There wasn't much of one where they were now. He had no idea how he got to this place, and he didn't see any Cogs or Putties or Tengus. So he couldn't be so sure this was the work of the Machine Empire or Rita and Zedd.

"I'll cover you," He said after another moment of thought. "Better two people looking for an escape than one."

[asklepian]

"Fair enough, though I was more going to look for other survivors to get them back here. I'm a doctor."

He shrugs slightly--probably more than slightly foolhardy to go out by himself, but really, how much worse could it be than facing a troop of Jem'Hadar? Or Cardassians? At least velociraptors didn't have cloaking fields and energy weapons.

Just...giant claws and teeth.

Mabel Pines | Gravity Falls | B. Giganotosaurus!

[bleventeen]

"Wow! They have 3D!"

Probably not the exclamation one would expect to hear during a dinosaur related crisis. The thing is, Mabel doesn't yet understand that there's anything to be worried about. The gift shop of the Cretaceous Days park may have an abundance of dinosaur merchandise, but somehow it doesn't seem out of place to her. She's also not really worried about the fact that she woke up inside of it. Or how dark it is. Or how empty.

Without a care in the world, she plucks a dinosaur postcard from the rack, shifting it in the one remaining light so that the brontosaurus depicted on the front seems to dance. Snorting an overly amused laugh to herself, she heads for the candy section, not noticing the huge creature looming outside the window.

Using the front of her sweater as a makeshift basket, she slides an armload of candy from the shelf just as there's a booming footfall from outside that shakes the walls and rattles the windows. Somewhere, a glass of water ripples ominously.

"Oh, excuse me!" She laughs sheepishly, going for more candy. "I guess I'm hungrier than I thought."

[captainbuzzkill]

One of the automatic doors to the gift shop suddenly opens, and the sound is followed by the patter of running feet -- a sound that suddenly stops as those feet leave the ground. Before Mabel has a chance to look at whoever's come running in, however, the entire glass facade of the store is smashed in by a giant, scaly dinosaur head.

Then before she has a chance to react to that someone comes flying towards her in a blur of blue light, tackling her out of the way just as the dinosaur tries to chomp down on her.

"People. Aren't. Food!" he yells, crouching protectively near her, flinging display stands of merchandise at the dinosaur's head, one by one, with glowing blue tentacles of telekinesis. "You -- you -- overgrown carcharodontosaurid!"

A pause.

"Or is it tyrannosaurid? I mean, size-wise, the difference is really subtle and it's not like anyone's ever -- whoops."

He doesn't have time to muse over the fact that artist reconstructions of dinosaurs not being 100% accurate makes it hard to figure out what kind of carnosaur it is, because said carnosaur is still trying to eat them, so Dipper tosses another display with his teke and makes sure that it jams the dinosaur's mouth open this time. It gags and struggles to chomp through the display, giving them a little time to regroup.

Naturally, he's accidentally thrown the display with the candy. Aw.

"That's such a waste of perfectly good candy," Dipper laments, watching it spill out onto the ground under the dinosaur, hopelessly mixing with dinosaur drool. Clearly this battle isn't without its casualties -- so many chocolate bars, lost before their time. "Tragic. Tragic waste of candy."

At least he saved the girl, right? He didn't get a good look at her yet. He spotted someone moving in the store and saw the dinosaur moving towards the windows, but then there'd just been a blur of bright colors and the vaguest impression of glitter. While that would've clued him in that it was Mabel back home, people in the glorious space future like wearing bright colors and glittery things, so it doesn't really mean anything here. He's long since had to train himself out of assuming every brown-haired girl wearing blinding neon that he sees out of the corner of his eye is his sister, because it just kept leading to heartbreak.

Even before he turns to face her, Mabel can potentially see enough to realize this is not the Dipper she'd seen last. This is a Dipper that's several months into being a bona fide superhero. This is a Dipper that's spent those several months in superhero practice and actually working out in the Legion's gym (admittedly only because it was pretty much required to survive all the stuff the team has faced). This is a Dipper that's already saved a few lives and carries himself like someone who knows how awesome that is.

He's still pretty twerpy (and, to his eternal dismay, he still smells like baby wipes) but in his superhero costume, shrouded in a blue aura of telekinetic energy, he strikes about as intimidating a figure as is actually physically possible for someone at such a noodly stage of their life.

"Fear not, good citizen!" he says, trying to make his voice sound deeper as he turns to face her. He hopes he's exuding confidence, because hey, he's dealt with dinosaurs before, right? "The Legion of --" his voice cracks in surprise as he finally really sees her "--Mabel?"

[bleventeen]

Dipper's heroic rescue had sent Mabel sprawling to the floor, spilling her sweater candy. There were a few seconds spent flipping her hair out of her face as she watched her candies slide in every direction. Then, there was the standard 'crisis-allotment' of lost candy grieving time, which clocked in at around seven seconds. And finally, she was ready to sit up and turn to face the situation that started it all: Good old dependable Dipper and a Dinosaur.

At least that's what she'd assumed she would be greeted with when she turned. She'd actually seen the dinosaur for a split second, and she caught all of Dipper's Tyrannonerd speech, so what else could be happening? Besides maybe seeing her brother in a weird costume he wasn't just wearing on the bus. And seeing him sporting some freaky new powers.

That's kind of a lot to take in, especially after a major candy loss.

When Dipper does finally turn and manage to squeak out her name, he's met with an equally shocked squawk of "DIPPER?"

Mabel scrambles to her feet to get a better look at him, and to try to figure out what's going. Without giving him a chance to actually explain (of course), her barrage of questions begins.

"What happened to you?! Did the bus leave without me and crash into a costume shop? Did you find another amulet like Gideon's? Wait, no! Were you--" She breaks off to give a scandalized gasp. "TIME TRAVELLING WITHOUT YOUR SISTER? Is that where you got him?!" She motions frantically to the dinosaur that is getting closer to chewing through his makeshift gag, before she continues in a more admonishing tone, "Why did you bring him here, Dipper? He probably doesn't have any money!"

Shiro | Voltron: Legendary Defender

[spaceblam]

Scenario A

Shiro is tense. He keeps his back against the wall he's pressed himself against as he steps carefully. When he got thrown a wormhole, he wasn't exactly expecting to suddenly be stuck without his Lion and surrounded by dinosaurs in...a food court?

He can't even be confused because his life has been a hilarious train wreck since the Kerberos mission. Dinosaurs are pretty wild, but he also has been traveling space trying to save the universe. Things have been kind of wild for awhile.

His hand glows a light purple as he lets out a careful breath. He knows the creatures are intelligent. Knows that he can't just stand here. He has to fight if he wants to get through this. Shiro turns to see who might be with him. "We need to be quick, quiet, and efficient. These obviously work together in packs and know what they're doing, but so do we. If we work together and well, we can get through this," Shiro says with no sign of fear. It isn't the time to be scared. There are plenty of other people that need help and he can't stay here being scared when people might be dying. "If you're ready, we'll move on my count."

His hand that's been replaced with Galra tech begins to glow.

Scenario D

If there's anything that Shiro can't stand by, it's people getting hurt around him. As a leader of a team who's supposed to defend the universe, he has to make sure he can protect the people around him too. The odds are stacked against him because there's a lot of people that need help and there's a lot of predators on the loose too.

He has to find people who might be able to work the tech around the park, but he also has to evacuate people where he can. The latter takes precedence in his mind. The former can be sought while he tries to help people and he wouldn't know how to work anything around them or where they are.

All he can do is fight. He's still garbed in his Black Paladin suit, which offers a decent amount of protection in comparison to civilian clothes. He uses his Galra prosthetic to block scratches and bites and the strengths behind it was lethal. He slams his fist into the creatures attacking people with a bit of a heavy heart. He knows that they're working on instinct and this was just the dinosaurs being as they were, but he can't let them hurt the innocent civilians around him.

Champion.

Shiro shakes his head a bit, trying to get thoughts out of his head. It's different now. It's not like back when he was captured.

As he shakes himself out of his thoughts, he doesn't see one of the creatures approaching him.

A

[iamresponding]

It's been a very, very long time since someone's gotten all commanding at Rich. That was what happened when you were General McImportant, unifier of species and grand high poobah of kicking evil, bug alien butt. Even after the war, whenever the shit had hit the proverbial fan, people still always looked to him to figure out how to save the day.

That's why seeing this guy is almost like looking in some alternate dimension funhouse mirror. There's the facial scar. (Rich's is vertical, not horizontal, on the right side, but still). There's the cybernetic arm. There's the body armor, complete with helmet. There's the very sound and reasonable tactical assessment and leadership. It's surreal.

It's also a delight, if Rich is perfectly honest. As long as the directions make sense, there's absolutely no need for him to get all command-ey himself, and sometimes it's nice to kick back and let someone else take charge for a change.

"Aw hell, I wish mine could do that," he says of the clearly weapon-like glowing that Shiro's arm is doing, unhooking and shrugging off his own right arm. His isn't an actual proper cybernetic, just a robotic prosthetic that remotely reads his nerve impulses to move rather than being directly attached. His powers burning through electronics means he needs to be able to take it off to fight.

So he does, dropping it to the ground, and looking rueful over trashing yet another one. There's a crackle in the air as he forms a crude energy tentacle out of golden Nova Force energy to replace it.

"Ready," he says quietly, dropping his voice, because he needs to tell this guy what's going on, but Shiro's right that they have to be careful about not making a ton of noise. "Also, hi? If you're looking for the guy with all the answers? I'm it. But we need to be on the move before we get to that."

Fortunately, this isn't even Rich's first time fighting dinosaurs because well...that's just a thing that happens to superheroes sometimes in his world. You know. Every so often.

D

[isthisapidge]

Pidge is already on the tech work, trying to find a way to contain the dinosaurs. Stop new ones coming in. Anything to reactivate the security measures before every single carnivore escapes and ignore the sinking feeling in her gut that this is completely un-salvageable.

At least she can trust Shiro to hold them off while she-

There is a giant dinosaur about to bite his head off.

"Shiro!"

Pidge doesn't even think. She grabs the metal panel that covered the inner workings of the park's security and flings it as hard as she possibly can. It bangs off the dinosaur's eye, which distracts the beast from Shiro...

And turns it's attention to charge at her. Whoops.

A!

[sofresh]

Dinosaurs.

Did they jinx it? He was pretty sure that they jinxed it. Up in the sky, Superboy looked down at the chaos below, his expression more unimpressed than anything else. It was just a coincidence, right? There was no way it was anything more than a coincidence.

(Somehow, he felt weirdly, vaguely responsible for this.)

He spotted a small group of not-velociraptors stalking with purpose, and that just made him frown even more.

"Alright, so, just puttin' it out there, but I haven't seen Jurassic Park yet."

In other words, a dinosaur wrangler he was not, and Kon was distinctly aware that no longer being the Boy of Steel kind of meant that skill and tactics were going to be important. Especially in situations like this. Oops.

[headinjuries]

(Let's just not talk about feeling weirdly, vaguely responsible for this.)

"Okay," said Sam. "So let me give you the 411. They're smart. Like, freaky smart. They hunt in packs. They probably won't wait until you're dead to start eating you. What else do you need to know?"

Adam Park | Power Rangers Zeo

[immafrog]

B

Well, this was so unfair. Adam was in a dinosaur park, for crying out loud! Using the Morphin powers allowed them access to prehistoric animals like this, so this should all be fun and everything but nope, he's now on the run from something that'd give the T-Rex a run for it's money. He'd had to ask Billy about this if he ever got out of here. But for now, Adam dove from tree to tree, Zeo powers in full force in case the giant dinosaur ever managed to snag him. Despite the helmet, he ducked and covered his head as the dinosaur rampaged passed by, the tree shaking and threatening to knock him off.

It lumbered passed him and Adam decided he could breathe a little right now, straightening and leaning against the bark. His helmeted head thunked against the bark as he thought about his current predicament. Communications were down, he could hail the others. He had access to his powers, but without access to the Command Center, he had no way to call his Zords.

As a Ranger, he could take on a lot of things. A real giant dinosaur, he wasn't sure about. "Now what?"

Re: Adam Park | Power Rangers Zeo

[fingerwiggle]

The other Ranger who had been running alongside him, unnamed because there hadn't been time for introductions, didn't answer. Instead, he was doing a handstand, back against the tree. He stood like that for several moments, not making a sound, before flipping right side up again.

"Got it. Option 1," he said, putting up a finger, "we head back the way we came, rescue anybody we come across, and see if we can find a vehicle. We get as many people into it as we can, use it to get out of here, and then bring back more help."

"Option 2," he added another finger, "is pretty much the same as option 1, except we look for a easy-to-defend building, put as many people as we can inside, and then wait for help."

"Option three," with a third finger, "We tame a Brachiosaurus, and then go with option 1, only we all ride the Brachiosaurus. Honestly? I prefer this one because it means we get a Brachiosaurus."

Jason Grace | Heroes of Olympus | Scenario D

[notthatjason]

Jason was used to a lot of weird things occurring in his life. After all, at a young age he'd been abandoned by his mother at the Wolf House and left to be raised by a wolf goddess and her pack. That had only been the start, mind you, and his life hadn't stopped being weird since.

He'd met and fought gods, titans, and monsters. And with all of that he still wasn't sure if dinosaurs was weirder or not. Jason isn't sure how he got here or where here even is -- but he knows his life is in danger, as are the lives of the screaming civilians running past him. Jason's never had to fight in a crowd like this, but he isn't going to let that hold him back. He hears a screech from above and looks up in time to see a large flying dinosaur circling overhead. Honestly, the shadow that dims the light around him should have been enough to suggest how big it is -- but actually seeing it puts a whole new spin on the size of that thing.

Jason watches as it banks and starts heading back, lower this time, and clearly targeting the herd of people running from it below. He's not used to using his abilities in a crowd like this, but he's not going to let that stop him. Jason clenches his fist and slashes it forward. A gust of wind comes out of nowhere and knocks the giant flying monster off course. It doesn't knock it out of the sky, but just sends it flying in another direction for a moment as it fights to correct itself.

He turns to his left, noticing a few people had turned to see what had caused the dinosaur to head off course. He sighs, taking on his commanding voice that he usually reserves for Praetor duties -- something he left behind him, "You need to get out of here. It's not down yet."

A dark shadow falls across them as if on cue and Jason looks up to see it just looks annoyed as it comes back.

"Go!" He shouts and the air crackles around him with electricity as he decides on a different tactic.

Azula | Avatar: The Last Airbender

[blue_flame]

Saving people too weak to defend themselves wasn't exactly Azula's usual style. But she could tell that to pass this test, she would have to make an exception. Oh well, she'd always been good at tests.

Her attention was drawn to a boy who looked on a few years older than her, who was creating lightning to fight a flying beast. It didn't quite look like firebending though, at least not any technique she was familiar with - and she was familiar with most of them.

"Yes ... hurry," she told the crowd. Her tone wasn't half as commanding as his though, since she much more interested in seeing just what he was going to do next.

Son Goku | Dragon Ball | Scenario B (Giganotosaurus!)

[4starsaviour]

Dinosaurs are fairly commonplace where Goku comes from (in spite of Beerus's claims that he killed them all), so needless to say, he's not taking this very seriously. While most people would be trying to escape these prehistoric monsters, Goku is hoping to fight and/or eat them. At the moment, he's floating mid-air, trying to look a particularly gigantic dinosaur in the eyes and avoid its massive, biting mouth.

"Wow, you're a big fella, huh?" Goku floats around its head, almost like an especially annoying fly. The longer he distracts it, the more time there is for park-goers and employees to escape, and since this one seems to be the biggest threat, he figures he should handle it.

The giganotosaurus roars, clearly fed up with this treatment. Grinning, Goku gets into a fighting stance - sure, they had been instructed to avoid damaging the park's property, dinosaurs included, as much as possible, but he's hoping that he can convince somebody to at least let him get part of this thing's tail. The dinosaurs back home were delicious, and this is probably one of the biggest ones that he's seen!

[sonofson]

"Yeaahh! I wanna help too!"

Don't mind this familiar kid dropping down from the sky. He manages to land on dinosaur's tail with a big grin. He hugs it, laughing all the while as it swings from side to side as he tries to stay on. When it swings to the right, he can see Goku standing ready. Goten does his best to wave to him while keeping hold of the creature. This is a more like a game to him then anything. Mt.Paozu had all kinds of dinosaurs after all.

"Dad! Look! I got him!"

He's just got the tail but that counts, right? At least until the dinosaur really starts to notice him.

B

[justicecoulduseanap]

A familiar voice comes over Fareeha's suit comms.

"Understood. I'm watching your back, habibti."

Ana was perched on the roof of a small staff building, her rifle loaded with stun rounds, which were enough to keep the smaller creatures away from the evacuating civilians. She wasn't entirely sure how effective it would be against the towering Gigantosaurus, though, but she'd be there to keep her daughter safe, no matter what.

[justicecrusader]

If nothing else, Pharah could take solace in the fact that she wasn't the most conspicuous person in the room. After all, it was hard to be more conspicuous than the seven-foot-four wall of muscle that was crouching right beside her. Reinhardt wasn't thinking about that though, instead more focused on the fact that this barricade was going to be a very temporary measure.

As such, they needed a plan. And they needed it fast.

"They will not tire. They are hunters." Reinhardt spoke up, helmet removed if only so he could have this moment to catch his breath. "They are smart enough to know that their prey is waiting them out. The only other thing that could distract them would be if they found different prey, and I would not wish that on someone else."

Goofy | Kingdom Hearts

[clumsyknight]

D

There was an odd sound of electricity, followed by something getting hit and then-

"YAAAAA-HOOOHOOOHOOOEY--!!"

A rather charred individual landed right into a group of raptors that had been chasing a bunch of civilians, who had all stopped to watch the spectacle of a tall, dog-like creature with a large shield being an electric battering ram. He rolled to a stop, hind quarters in the air for a moment and plop, down went his legs.

"Ow..." Goofy groaned, along with several other dazed and confused dinos. He stood up, obviously quite dizzy. Wasn't Donald supposed to be the wizard? Why was lightning magic being summoned from his hands? And why did it hit himself?! Goofy gathered his wits about him and looked around him. "Uh... you guys might wanna go get some shelter, there's loose dinos about! I'll hold 'em off!"

Brief period of spouting lightning forgotten, Goofy quickly leapt back into action, holding his shield to protect the innocent people behind him as they quickly ran off as well.
