"I would suggest you all ready your weapons." Lenny said, "The moment the ball falls the gas will be released, it will only last a few seconds then we can charge in, a reminder not all of them will be affected and I don't know how long they will be affected for. It varies from beast to beast."
With Lenny's words, each member started to hold their weapons by their hilt. They still couldn't truly believe she would be able to do it, but felt like they should be ready just in case.
