Escape The Formation

***********

As the teleportation magic began to activate, the air crackling with energy, Cain felt a sudden shift in the guards' demeanor. The tension in the air became palpable, and he sensed something was amiss.

Before they could react, the guards drew their weapons, surrounding the team with menacing intent. "By order of the higher command by Captain Ironscale, you are to be detained and brought back for defying his order," the lead guard declared, his voice cold and authoritative.

Cain's heart pounded in his chest as he exchanged quick, determined glances with his teammates. They had no choice but to defend themselves without causing unnecessary harm. Hazy, Sam, and Fiv mirrored his resolve, and Arial, her usual calm exterior faltering slightly, readied herself for the impending confrontation.
