Phenom turned around and cracked his knuckles. He stared at the horizon. He thumbed the handle of his right-side Desert Eagle, contemplating using it, and waited.
15 Minutes Later...

"Phenom... I've been thinking..." Amanda said after a few minutes of waiting. By the time she had spoken up, the horde had come into view, plowing down the mountain they had approached from prior.
"About?"
"This fight. We could easily win if we just mow them down with our guns. Why didn't we just do that from the start?"
The horde was growing closer as they spoke. It was an opportune time for the Angels to engage.
"We could do that, Amanda... but..."
"But?"
An amused, almost sadistic expression visited Phenom's face as he drew his two knives, obsidian in left and steel in right. However, anyone looking at him, would only see that his eyes had partially widened. He lowered himself into a combat position as though he were about to explode forward.

"That wouldn't be as fun."
"PHENOM, WAI-" Gaspard started, before Phenom exited the inn at full speed, heading toward the horde. Before anyone could blink, he was in the air, over the horde. He dropped down on an unsuspecting raider, driving his knives into his chest. The men in the immediate vicinity scattered. Some remained to fight Phenom, while the rest of the horde continued toward the Inn.
Standing up, Phenom immediately rushed toward the first raider before him, not utilizing his speed. He would have to save that for his fight with the Null and rely on natural skill. The raider threw his weapon over his head and downward at Phenom. The Angel deftly deflected the CQB-ized rifle and spun behind him. Driving his obsidian knife into the raider's back, he blocked another strike from behind him with his steel knife. He ripped the obsidian through its prey's flesh, tearing open his back. In the same move, he drove the obsidian into his other attacker's knee and hoisted him into the air before executing an aerial ax kick, bringing his foot down on the raider's gut with extreme force. As the raider's comrades converged on Phenom in an attempted to pin him while he was on the ground, he executed a backwards ukemi.
Parrying another blow aimed at his head, he drove a series of punches into the next attackers chest before disengaging and parrying another overhead blow coming from his right. Two quick stabs were enough to disarm the new attacker. Phenom then returned to his previous target, driving his obsidian knife into the target's abdomen through his side, just under the armpit. He grabbed the second attacker and threw him into a charging raider before double-palming the first into stun them at the same time. He stabbed his steel knife into the clavicle of the stunned raider on his left, wrenching him downwards. Spinning on his left foot, Phenom kicked his prey into the other stunned feet, sweeping him into the air. Phenom quickly ran towards the airborne raider and threw his steel knife into the air. Jumping up, he planted his right foot on the airborne raiders head and drew one of his Desert Eagles, firing a round into his skull after pushing himself off of the body.
As Phenom sailed through the air, he holstered his Eagle and nabbed his knife, stabbing down on another raider. Phenom continued his dance of steel, tearing through grunt after grunt with ease, despite not tapping into his abilities.
"Oh..." Gaspard reacted, "Thought he was going to waste his time...
C'est la vie." He then began firing on the incoming raiders and threw aside his rifle and charged when they entered CQC-range. He then brandished the steel wires that riddled his outfit and began cutting down the raiders as though they were butter.
Amanda, who had been left behind with Terra merely looked at the girl and placed her hand on her shoulder.
"I apologize for their vulgar style. Men and their combat... Shall we join them?"
