Pounce had been rather insistent that Beka'd go retrieve her baton from the weapons locker that morning and Beka knew not to argue when it came to these things. Not that he'd tell her what was happening, but then she'd not have to wait for much longer. When she'd reached the third floor, there were loud noises coming from the common room. It seemed someone was throwing the plates in the kitchen around and she'd taken one step towards it when Pounce warned her not to.

The next instant, sommat small and grin and evil looking darted out of the common room. Its intentions seemed obvious, it bared its teeth and made a launch for Beka. She'd been able to draw a knife just in time as the creature jumped up at her. It had fangs and claws and she blocked its attack with her arm, taking the scratches while she brought the knife up and slid its throat.

"Mithros, what was that?" she stared at the thing lying on the ground and the noises in the common room sounded worse now. She was no fool and Beka backed up. Jonas was on this floor. His door only a few steps behind her and she moved towards it, keeping her eyes on the common room while she knocked on his door.

[She's bugging Jonas, but definitely open for anyone who wants to team up.]

"Yes," he said, nodding. "Yes, I'm ready. Let's go."

She pulled the door open and once more, Pounce was the first to go. He made a loud sound, as if there was a large cat like creature in the hall and there was a chittering as some of gremlins scattered the the noise. It gave them time to get out of the room without getting instantly attacked, but the gremlins weren't running off completely.

"Head for the stairs," Beka told Jonas, putting herself between him and the gremlins. One of them was already moving forwards.

"I didn't know there could be so many of them," he said, walking quietly but quickly. "The stairs, right. The stairs."

This time she was more prepared as the gremlin lunged for her legs and she kicked it right away from her. It hit the wall with a crunch and slumped down. There was no time to check as it appeared to be a sign for the others to attack as well. Pounce hissed and jumped forward, clawing out the the first gremlin's eyes while the others attacked Beka.

Getting to the stairs, was easier said than done as two gremlins suddenly appeared there, quite possibly they were leering at Jonas.

"Ew." Jonas made a face and took a few steps back. He knew he should have gone for the borrowed knife but he still couldn't make himself. He did hold out a hand, like the gremlin would keep its distance because of that.

One of the gremlins tried to rush past Beka, but he didn't get far as Pounce jumped on its back. Beka was still fighting off the gremlins coming from the common room. One had managed to jump up to her shoulder and she'd slammed it right into the wall. "Jonas?" she called, having no time to look back at him.

The gremlins? They weren't impressed with the hand and they split up, each coming at Jonas from a different side. The one nearest chittered and showed its teeth, but it was the other one that rush at him first.

Jonas had no idea what to do. No idea. He didn't want to use the knife so he grabbed the first thing he could. That happened to be the bag over his shoulders. As soon as he had it in his grip, he swung it, aiming for the heads of the gremlins.

It seemed like the best thing to do.

It was effective as the gremlin was swung right into the wall. The other one saw its chance and rushed at Jonas from the other side.

Worried, Beka tried to make quick work of the gremlins she was dealing with. She sliced another's throat and threw her knife at another. Their numbers were dwindling at least and she tried to back up towards Jonas.

The first instinct Jonas had was to kick. So, that's what he did. As soon as that gremlin closed in, he kicked out as hard as he could, hoping he'd hit something solid.

Gremlins apparently weren't in favour of dodging and it was thrown back. It was already getting up for another go at Jonas when Beka tore free of her own fight and the gremlin toppled over with a knife in its Beka.

Beka quickly moved towards it and she pulled her knife free.

Let's go, Pounce was already heading down the stairs.

"Are you alright?" Beka asked as she reached for his arm to pull Him with her.

"I'm fine," he said, blinking a few times and nodding. "Neither of them touched me. I'm fine."

"You did well," she grinned at him and now they were going down the stairs. She couldn't hear anything but the sound of their feet for now. And ahead of them was Pounce, his tale a flagpole leading their way.

"I hope that's the last bit of well I have to do," he said, laughing humorlessly. "This isn't what I'd planned for my weekend."

"Then what did you plan?" she asked. Talking was good, it'd made her stop jumping at every little sound she heard. Those things were vile.

"Reading," he answered, eyes looking around quickly. "Perhaps a walk around the island. Maybe a visit to the diner to eat. Something slow."

"I don't think it's going to be a slow weekend," Beka replied, they were getting near the first floor now.
