Still hiding in the jungle brush, Razorstella, Springerdermain, and Screamira kept a close eye on the battlefield as their zakos traded places with the Golden Gorilla Union warriors.
While they were happy that their side had essentially won the conflict, they were a little annoyed at not being able to participate.
The Kaijin were creatures of combat, after all.
[Okay, and it looks like the last of the zakos have just cleared the edge,] Springerdermain observed. [But it also looks like the ringmaster's friend is being held in a hostage standoff situation. Should we interfere on that?]
[Probably not,] Screamira answered. [I've seen enough crime movies to know that in a situation like that, outside interference tends to end badly for the hostages.]
[I don't know, I bet I could move fast enough to slice that old fucker's arm and free—]
