Finn and Marceline charged into the meeting hall, which now contained with about a dozen masked RUON infantrymen. All but three were armed with plasma rifles. These were armed with Uzis, but the one who stood out was their leader. Strapped to his back was a blue bladed sword. Finn didn't even need to read the inscription to know who it was. Penn, his so-called "brother". From inside the crowd, someone moved. In an instant, bursts of magenta projectiles rained down on the area, massacring four of the royals. However, the leader stared at the three men who fired, and began to draw his Uzis, pointing one at the men and one at the crowd. He held in his rage, and yelled,
"When I came here, I said two things. One, that nobody fire. Two, that nobody moves! Whose bright idea was it to try and run?"
The crowd stared at the spot where the royals had been shot. Nobody noticed that one person had snuck around the back whilst everyone was distracted. Finn and Marceline, who had now recovered from their shock, crept back to the balcony, but were soon greeted by Laura. She signalled for them to go around, and hurled a small stone at the cobbled path, hoping that the technique would actually work as a distraction. Fortunately for her, it did. As they made their way to a spot above the door, one of the three Uzi-wielders and another man walked out, and both were soon welcomed with a swift knife to the back. Finn, Marceline and Laura each took a gun, and soon entered positions around the hall, to find Penn in the middle of a monologue.
"The pickup brigade is coming in fifteen minutes. You all know what'll happen to people who try to escape."
As he said that, he raised his weapons to Laura's position, and instantly started firing. Laura ducked behind the railing as bullets chipped away at the wood. Realising that their cover had been blown, Finn and Marceline started firing bursts on the RUON infantry, killing about five. By this point, Finn no longer cared that he was taking lives. All he cared about was stopping RUON. Penn ordered the rest to open fire on the two, but Laura had begun firing as well, killing more men. Eventually, only one person besides Penn was left, and the two soon ran away. However, a grenade was tossed into the crowd as a parting shot.
