At this point, The Spartan was already engaged in fierce combat with several guards of the V.V. Each guard had massive superhuman strength. Together with fierce battle training, quick reflexes, and highly-sophisticated weaponry, they were all skilled in their trade: death. However, now they faced a being who was clearly superior to them - The Spartan.
Four guards charged him at once, with incredible speed and accuracy. Quickly, Demetrius drew his pistol (already loaded with vibranium ammunition) and fired a round into each of their skulls, killing them instantly. Afterwards, he holstered his firearm and proceeded about the field. Just then, seven guards converged on his position. Unshouldering his shield and drawing his sword, The Spartan made ready for intense melee combat. At that point, he moved towards his soon-to-be victims.
Quickly, The Spartan clashed blades with one guard and blocked the blow of a second with his shield. Immediately, he spun around to his left and bashed his shield into the first guard. In the same instance, he spun to his right and slashed his sword at the second, beheading him. The first fallen guard quickly met his demise as Demetrius shoved his blade into the guard's heart.
The other five guards who were concentrating on The Spartan then charged. Demetrius charged directly at them as well. Using his acrobatic abilities, he dove over them. He rolled forward as he hit the ground. The guards had amazing speed and reflexes and were on him immediately. As he jumped to his feet, The Spartan was immediately put under the onslaught of his enemies' blades.
Bashing one of them down with his shield, he slashed his sword directly downwards at a 45-degree angle towards another. The attack sliced off the left arm of his opponent, but the remaining guards were unphased. Just then, one of them ran up and landed a dropkick right against Demetrius' chest. As he was sent flying back, his body slammed to the ground.
Just then, another guard was on him in an instant. As the guard came down with his sword pointed directly at Demetrius, Demetrius rolled backward. In that same instant, The Spartan's feet shot up and planted themselves on his opponent's chest. Thrusting his legs out, The Spartan sent the guard flying in the opposite direction. As the guard went over, its blade came within an inch of Demetrius' face. In that same motion of springing backwards, The Spartan came to his feet.
Taking his shield, he spun around and threw it directly towards the guards in the other direction. As it spiralled through the air, it sliced two guards' bodies in half at the waist. It took off the legs of another. As for the guard that Demetrius had thrown over, his life was ended as Demetrius spun around and impaled him while he was charging. Taking his blade, Demetrius hacked and sliced his way through the remaining four. His blade covered in blood, he turned around to face his next challenger, whoever it may be..........
As he looked towards the castle, he saw Rayne emerging with a severely injured Renegade Lantern dragging alongside him. Picking up his shield, The Spartan raced towards them. Covering them both with his shield, he took Rayne and RL back to the Zero Squad encampment.
Renegade was severely injured and had lost an incredible amount of blood. Now, he had passed out from the effects thereof. Placing his hand on Renegade Lantern's chest, The Spartan concentrated. A red aura eminated from his chest. Flowing down his arm, it passed to the body of Renegade Lantern. As he looked down, The Spartan noticed that the wounds began to heal within seconds. Also, the color was beginning to return to Renegade's face and his body became increased with strength and stamina. Suddenly, Renegade gasped for air and opened his eyes.
Taking his hand away, The Spartan spoke.
"It's good to have you back, Renegade. Suit up and arm yourself. We have a war to finish........."
