Xeria waited for the agents at the door to make a move, but shouted back at the cultists. "No matter what happens, keep chanting!"
Larry pulled the pin on the hand grenade and tossed it inside the room, and then held the door shut. There was a panicked shouting, followed shortly by an explosion, followed a second later by the rather distinctive sound of human shreds hitting a door.
"Grenades? They give you goddamn grenades?" Quinn stared at Larry disbelievingly after the blast.
Diego fired a shot into the back of the machine gunner. The ten gauge explosive shell entered his back, and detonated, tearing his spine and most of his internal organs to pieces. He collapsed downwards and sideways, his tightening fingers pulling on the machine gun, and firing a stream of ammo into the wall above the heads of Cade and Meredith, and carving a neat line across the wall as his falling body knocked the machine gun sideways.
Cade fired a shot at Xeria but missed wildly. She grinned evilly.
Meredith ducked down and went up the right side of the church, over the machine gun fire, but Xeria saw, and moved to intercept, meeting her in the middle. She had her blade drawn and starred at Meredith. "Let's see how well you handle that blade, little girl. I've been training all my life. According to the master, you've only been at it a month."
Nick fired a shot at the scroll reading cultist, hitting him in the shoulder. He winces in pain, but keeps reading.
Most of the cultists kept chanting, but two grabbed AK-47s and opened up on Nick and Diego. They peppered the walls with 7.62mm ammo, but were otherwise ineffectual.
