"The Doctor is going to force her to fight us." Mercedes explained as they neared the Municipal Building. "She'll have three powers, Merlin's, Elise's, and her own. We'll have to do whatever it takes to subdue her and hope we can heal her after." Carter's eyes were dark and steady. It was very clear that he wanted to make up for the past and that this was his chance to do it. "Ezra's already made a big mess of things, so hopefully he'll be able to put up a fight." It really was a clear path straight to the building, all thanks to Ezra and his path of death, corpses, and destruction. All they had to do was follow the ruines roads, the shattered buildings, the upturned rocks stained red with blood. "What's with the change of heart? You were set on following your family's duties and beliefs." Oliver eyes Mercedes with obvious doubt in his eyes. "The Doctor got my dad killed while you were all suffering from the plague." Mercedes grit her teeth. "So maybe this is a little bit of revenge for me."
They needed to do this fast of course, Serenity was the weakest of them and she was all alone with broken legs. Mercedes really couldn't believe that a former timid little girl was able to jump to protect her like that, a traitor. Mercedes had turned her backs on them, she had even tried to kill them before. She really did not deserve any of this forgiveness. "Winter's the strongest vassal." Cater said as they followed Ezra's path to the buiding. "But she doesn't want this either. We need to wait for her to hesitate, then knock her out." Mercedes held a necklace in her fist, emblazened with the black wings of the Hresvelg family. It was still bloody. "I'll show this to her, maybe that'll give us the chance we need to knock her out."
Ezra was already clashing with Winter by the time they caught up. Rocks and ice littered the battlefield just outside the main gate. Dead Enforcers lay all around, whether by Ezra or Winter's hand was anyone's guess. "Stop being dumb! Come back with us or I'll break the piano we bought for you!" Ezra growled, tears still streaking down his face as he sent rocks at Winter. He was wounded, was it on the way here or did Winter do it? "Winter, stop!" Mercedes ran out, catching up as Oliver and Carter did their best to support Ezra from the rear. "Elise got out too, she wanted me to show this to you!" With a gasp Mercedes saw as ice hit Ezra on the face, breaking his gas mask. "Get down! Here, I'll put on a spare." Learning from how Carter broke his earlier, Oliver always made sure to carry spare masks for the toxic smoke. As Oliver pinned Ezra down to adminsiter the mask, Carter held his arm out in front of Winter, putting down his sand.
"Just come closer. Elise really wanted us to hand this to you, Winter." Carter said, trying to ease her in. For once, he was putting away his flirting face and was facing Winter as an equal, as someone woth respect and fear. "Here, see? Don't you recognize this?" It was her bloody necklace, the pendant glinting in the morning sunlight. Mercedes held it up for Winter to see. "Come with us peacefully if you want to see Elise." Carter grunted, raising his voice. "Oliver's in charge of the Slithers now, so you don't have to fear being controlled anymore. We found Claude... he's safe and sound." He took a step closer, Oliver waiting to knock Winter out the moment he found an opening.
