As a barrage of laser beams came shooting down from atop the staircase, Parmila swiftly put up a barrier wall as I raced up the stairs, narrowly evading the beams as I drew out my taser blade and leapt forward as I reached the top, striking one of the kidnappers across the side of the neck and zapping him out cold.
I then quickly ducked as a knife came spinning towards my head from the left, before springing that way and driving my taser blade straight at the chest of the man who'd flung it at me, slamming onto the middle of his chest and tasing him, breaking a couple of his ribs upon impact.
As a couple more of the kidnappers sprang up behind me, a powerful burst of flames came shooting up the stairs, forcing them to back away before Xandra came leaping through the flames.
