Another blow to her wing, and another piercing scream. Razma could feel her bones break further, little splinters of bone digging into the fragile flesh of her wing. Much more like that, and they might not ever heal properly. It might not matter, though - she doubted she could survive all the way to one hundred blows such as that. Every breath Razma took was laboured, hissing through her beak. She couldn't even muster the energy to speak, much less resist.

One thing was odd, though. Weren't there three earth ponies, just a moment ago?

"Razma--" he whispered.

Logic would dictate to continue taking out the guards, one by one, until only he and Shaker were left. Logic dictated a lot of things that Gimmicks mostly ignored on his best of days. Simple things. Things like not joining a group of renegade crime fighters. Or running away from home. Or entering Lamplight's room without permission and laughing about her vanity mirror being encircled in rhinestones. Little tiny inklings of logic that tried desperately to hold his attention whenever he got emotional.

Unfortunately, even the little voice in his head lost its train of thought at the last cry from Razma. From his hiding place, he broke into a low fly and dove toward her and her captor. He hopped onto one of the guard's backs, digging his lion claws deep into his back and his talons into his scalp as he pushed off into a heightened pounce, aiming straight at Shaker, all sharpened points extended toward her as the guard he'd used as leverage flailed in pain.

It was time for swing number two when he heard the squall of pain come from one of his men. He sighed wondering why half of his men were useless most of the time. Interrupting his fun was a death wish in itself, turning to bark out a question he stopped short. Claws and feathers was all he could make out before being tackled to the floor. His magic letting go of the bat in surprise and his men were already panicking from this new addition.

"What the!?!?!"

He felt the pain of the claws digging into him bring into sharp focus just what hit him. Another gryphon, another damned bird had came along and gotten past his men. Tossed onto his back from the force he tried to right himself while shouting orders.

"Don't just stand there you slacked jawed idiots! Get em!

"Oh, I'll get them alright. You can count on it." He grinned, breaking from Shaker to fly up and land in front of Razma. He looked over at her with the most debonair of smirks. Skylark might be proud of his comeback wit today. "You forgot your coin purse at my place, but I'm going to have to borrow it for a little longer." He looked at the two earth ponies charging him. "You guys are so dumb, you must be coin-operated...!"

He laughed and flew toward them, tossing the coin purse and spilling bits all over the floor for them to trip on. He'd probably have to apologize for that later to Razma. While they stumbled, he landed before Razma again, glaring at Shaker as he rested a paw on the bat. "Try me."

Gimmicks gave Razma the goofiest grin she had ever seen on a gryphon. She couldn't help but smile back, despite the pain throbbing in her wings. She wanted to tell him to get out of there, to get to safety and not worry about her...but she had finally seen him in action, and now she knew that it wasn't just youthful boasting that she had seen before. Gimmicks was perfectly capable of taking care of himself, and of saving her right now.

"S-seems like you j-just can't handle gryphons, Shaker Down." Razma looked around as much as she could. Gimmicks was probably alone, but... "You can't win...not against all of them."

Shaker Down got up off the floor to see some of his boys spill over themselves from slipping on the bits on the floor. The unicorn let out a low growl seeing the display before him. He was being embarrassed...by a child. A child of things, a young cocky gryphon with this stupid look on his face. Coming in and spouting some cheesy lines like it was from a comic book. And to top it off the little shit got the drop on him. A calm look settled over his previous face of rage while he spoke out to the two gryphons.

"Ok you little bitch you wanna play with me fine. I'm gonna break your spine in half before tossing your dumb ass into a ditch. And as for your crippled friend behind you, I had planned on burying her alive but now...."

Several more earth ponies started to make their way towards the entrance of the storage house. Stepping back into the shadows, the mobster pony let out a slight chuckle.

"Now I'm going to have every bone her body broken before ripping her fucking tongue out of her smart ass beak."

"Hehehahaha! Ooo! I'm so scared! The big bad stawwion is gonna say mowe mean things at me. I might cwy! Hahaha! So scawy!"

Terrifying, actually. He'd never really been in a position quite this intense before, but Shaker didn't need to know that. He tensed as the guards showed up. Great. More of 'em. And Razma's bluff hadn't been received well. He looked back to her and smiled before:

"You don't know how deep this is, do you? Gryphons travel in flocks. And they're just waiting for my signal to come in here and--" He did it mid sentence, hoping to throw Shaker off. He tossed the bat up, knocking the light out in the center of the room. Did that pony think he could out-sight the night vision of a gryphon? If he wanted to play in the dark, he'd get dark.

Well played, that. In one action, Gimmicks backed up her bluff, and gave them a very good chance to get away, too. Of course, that was entirely contingent on if he could carry her - she wasn't going anywhere under her own power. She dropped her voice to a low hiss.

"Now would be the time to leave, Gimmicks..."

The shattering off the light tossed everyone into darkness causing more of his ponies to stumble and fall over each other. Hearing them clamor and fuss trying to find the gryphons in the darkness drew another growl from him. In his head he heard laughter...that little shit was laughing at him. HE just knew it, with that stupid grin on his face laughing at his men. Laughing at him...

"You think this is funny....do you? Do you fucking think this is funny you little shirt bird!"

His horn glowed a bright green bracing himself for what was about to happen. The storage house started to shake as the sounds of the roof cracking and crumbling. He was going to bring the house down and only a few of his men got the message and began to panic towards any available exit.

"SEE HOW FUNNY THIS IS YOU LITTLE ASSHOLE! YOU AND THE BOUNTY HUNTING WHORE CAN JUST GET BURIED ALIVE! LAUGH AT ME NOW YOU SHITS!"

"Listen, I know you think my friends are too young to do combat and all that cool stuff, but dude, we need to talk about the ponies you meet on this job sometime if we live, okay? This one's completely off the rocker. At least my ponies are sane. Kinda," he whispered it out harshly at Razma as he immediately made for the tarp. He couldn't really just drag her out, not at his size. He pulled it back, jaw dropping at what was under it.

He'd intended to get Razma on the tarp and pull her out, but for a brief instant before the area started to shake, he stood and stared at the coffin. "Dude... this guy's sick. I mean, what in the f--" No time for profanity. Ceiling breaking!

He got Razma on the tarp and pulled it a few inches, straining to get some momentum. Slowly, though, they were making it toward the door. He'd managed to get her near the door when the ceiling finally started to give. Hoping this wasn't a bad idea, he did two things:

He dragged the coffin to them and flipped it over them for protection. And he pressed the gemstone on his crest to signal his friends back home.
