Archaeus noticed Rikki's mood. Morale was high, this was good, perhaps he could persue this conversation further.

"We will take-"

Archaeus was interrupted by a deafening blast, as a nearby tree was struck by a large beam of energy, causing it to fall over. Archaeus pulled Rikki towards him and turned around, holding her close to his chest, and covering her with his body. Gunfire rang out across the forest as the pair was fired upon by automatic weapons. A series of shots struck Archaeus on the back and the legs, his body shielding the little girl.

He dove towards the fallen tree, taking cover behind it, and holding Rikki close as bullets struck the dirt around them, and the tree covering them. Rikki would find that some of Archaeus' own blood had splattered onto her, a shade of bright, bright crimson blood.
