Part 10 – Fight 2.
"Guy, I can explain," Marian began.
"Don't bother," Gisborne snarled, "I should have known you loved him, not me."
"Guy…." Marian started again.
"Attack!" Gisborne shouted at the top of his voice, and all of his guards burst into action all at once, at least three guards per outlaw.
Much was the first to go down, watching May, surprised at her fighting skill he was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground, unconscious. Next Will went down, then Allan, then Safiyya, then Marian, and finally John. The guards tied the outlaws to a nearby tree and formed a circle around Robin, May and Djaq.
"You might as well give in Hood, you cannot win I have more than thirty guards here, thirty against three, even you cannot beat me." Gisborne sneered.
"It's a shame you can't fight me one to one, like a man Gisborne, but if you have to cower behind your guards, so be it." Robin held his sword at the ready in front of him.
All of a sudden the guards burst forwards May, Robin and Djaq put up a good fight at first, but becoming more and more tired they lost one of their fighters. May dropped to the ground after a large blow to the head, and was dragged towards the tree and tied beside Much, who attempted to wake her up.
Using a technique they both knew from the war they took on all the soldiers, Robin covering their right, Djaq their left as they knocked out many of the guards.
Rushing forwards Gisborne managed to sustain a heavy blow to Djaq's head, and he fell to the ground, and was dragged away before Robin could stop them. He was surrounded.
"I'll give you a choice Hood. Them or you?" Gisborne shouted. "Whoever you choose will be killed with an arrow within the next five minutes."
Robin bit his lip, he already knew what his choice would be, but what would he do if it went wrong, what if he couldn't save them and he was on his own forever, he would never forgive himself.
"I choose them," Robin said firmly, and everyone turned to stare at him in surprise.
"Very well." Gisborne said, a smile playing on his lips, "Guards, tie Robi up, we can't have him saving his little friends."
