To everyone's probably surprise, being stabbed by mythical creatures wasn't on Ron's bucket list. As Leona instructed, he quickly dashed towards the closest wall, which was the left one, and tried to stay behind the group. He had no fighting experience and barely even knew how to reload the hextech pistol that he took from his supplies after their encounter with the Rakkor. For now, Ron just stayed back and let the others do the fighting. If they'll need some medical assistance later, he'll be happy to oblige for saving his life. One thing on his mind was, however, 'I'm getting out of here as soon as possible!'.

CLANG! His weapon struck the opposing weapon but his strike fell short and the enemies attention was diverted to another. He recovered swiftly enough, knowing the enemy was in position to follow up with a secondary strike. He regained his footing and waited. Parrying didn't work well so he'd have to work on something else.
He estimated when the creature might strike when it got into range. He had an idea based off how the other had struck. Preemptively he moved in to the side furthest from its side, reeled his weapon back, and then struck for everything he was worth against the being leg.
Mid strike, if possible, the weapon itself would be enveloped in a soft blue sheen, similar to the ambient glow that Tekun held along his scars. An effect that if permitted, would no doubt amplify the damage he'd be delivering against the creature on a successful blow.

Events unfolded at a quick pace, and soon the party found themselves being attacked by rampaging centaur cavalry!
Orianna was the only one who was actually happy to see the centaurs. They were enemies! And enemies meant she could finally do some good to the team, by fighting and killing the foes! As she had spotted them galloping through the corridor, with their spears at the ready, a sincere-looking, gleeful smile appeared on her metallic face. She took a few steps forward, the Ball following her close by, its chirps and crackles sounding violent and hostile now.
- This is very exciting!
Leona and the Valos were the ones to endure the brunt of the cavalry charge, the two first centaurs having passed them by. Now, one of them was moving towards Orianna, Razie and Scrod! The creature was injured, but not overly so. The automaton quickly assessed the situation, turning full-on battle-mode. The shot wouldn't be enough to stop the centaur, who reminded her of Hecarim, she figured. And as such...
- Ravage!
The tone of her metallic voice turned sinister, as she pushed the Ball towards the charging creature with full force of her metallic body. The Ball gained even more speed from using his own engine, which kept him afloat, and would slam the Centaur with enough kinetic force to shatter a brick wall. The battle machine was built for such attacks, and was incredibly sturdy. Should that be successful, Orianna's blue eyes would return to analyzing the battlefield. Reaching into her body's midsection, extracting a cog shuriken from storage. Leona seemed to be holding her ground with the centaur, and so did Tekun. Her eyes focused on the one that was attacking the demacian shield warrior.
She lobbed the cog shuriken at the large creature, aiming at his hind legs. The large cog shuriken soared through the air, lobbed with a large amount of force, and electricity sparking around it as it did.

Leona had barely a moment to react before the next centaur was upon her. It sealed its fate the moment it left the ground. Leona lowered the point of her sword to the centaur's horse chest and extended her arms, dropping to a crouching position as she did so. She would use the centaur's own weight and momentum against it to drive her sword through it.
The centaur that leaped for Leona could not move to avoid her blade. He fell upon it, his own weight driving it deep into him. A stream of blood erupted from the wound and a horrid, inhuman cry escaped the beast's lips. He would die soon. He wanted to take the one who was responsible with him. He dropped his spear and drew his sword with fanatical final rage burning through him. He dropped to his front knees and tried to pin Leona under the weight of his body while at the same time stabbing for her unarmored neck. He would stab until one of them was dead.
The centaur charging toward Razie was disoriented by his sonic blast, enough so that he could not react in time to respond to the ball flying straight for him. With a loud crunch the ball found its mark, shattering bones and stopping the centaur in his tracks. He fell to the ground not a moment later.
The centaur bearing down on James kicked his leg up as James stabbed at him, using it's already elevated position to kick hard at his shield while attempting to stab past the shield at anything he could strike on the side of his sword arm. He did not, however, notice the shuriken that came for his leg from behind. The force and electricity of the impact made him flinch, long enough that his kick and strike were interrupted, and gave James a brief moment of opportunity, if he were fast enough to seize it.
The centaur charging Tekun missed his mark with his spear and slowed down, and could not react fast enough to Tekun's cut at his leg. It hit harder and cut further than the strike should have. With an angry cry, he kicked the leg that the sword had bit into as hard as he could in no particular direction, although it could endanger Tekun, hoping to possibly disarm him had the sword bitten into his leg, while simultaneously striking toward Tekun's ribcage on the right with his spear.

Centaurs. Carell had barely a moment to recall the fragments of Rakkor mythology he knew about them before they were attacking them. He was not at immediate risk from them, but he would be damned if he just sat around and let the others do the fighting for him. They had already held their ground and fought well, even lethally wounding two of them, but the fight was not over yet. He grabbed a spear from the packhorse he lead in before rushing forward at the centaur nearest to him, attacking James. He jabbed forward at the centaur's neck at the longest extension of the spear when he came into striking distance.

Leona's sword was wrenched from her grip as the centaur dropped down upon her. Blood came copiously from its chest, quickly coating the gold of her armor in crimson. With every last adrenaline fueled beat of the beast's heart more blood came. The air was knocked out of her lungs by his weight but she had not a moment to waste in recovery. She used her armored left forearm to knock the first stab out of the way, giving her enough time to draw her dagger. As hard as she could, she pulled the centaur over to the right with her left arm to get it off of her before the next stab could come, and with the dagger in her right, stabbed for its temple.

James recoiled a bit but held his ground after blocking the centaur's attack, preparing to retaliate at the perfect time. However, when Orianna's Shuriken bought him a moment before the centaur could deliver a devastating kick, he immediately sprung to action to capitalize.
James swiftly stood up, still blocking, before pulling his shield aside, stabbing for the centaur's chest with his extended blade, powered by the force of his swift standing motion and any downward force the centaur had.

I will meet one someday...and that day will either be the best or worst day of my life.

He hit his mark but did not achieve what he was hoping for upon this strike. Severing the limb would have been ideal but crippling the beast worked just as well. The blade sliced down and into the bone and the pain the beast felt was evident. The momentum of Tekun’s attack carried him, ripping the weapon out and raking across flesh, the creature’s leg began to flail, desperately kicking in an effort to force him away and maybe strike him. The glow of the weapon had seemingly ceased with the impact.
He made his way towards the creature’s hind quarters for a follow up attack on the same side he had struck. He was at the very least mindful of the creature and its attack but wasn’t as concerned as he should have been. He was willing to bet the creature wouldn’t be capable of fully piercing his armor as he moved from the strike and even if it did, it was his first layer of defense.

As the trio of persons front-lining for the group battled on against the centaurs Scrod had watched with a keen eye from his relatively 'safe' position. Leona was more than holding her own it seemed and with Oriana had fell the one that had attempted to blitz them after it had been stunned by Razie's gloves. 'Maybe I ought ta' get me one o' them gloves...' Scrod thought idly to himself as he got a bead on one of the remaining centaur, the one that had disarmed Tekun, his left eye squinting as he scowled in concentration.
Much faster than the old mans age or physique would suggest he was capable of he drew the pistol his right hand had been hovering over in a blur of motion and fired three consecutive shots just as quickly. He had been aiming at the centaurs chest, around where he figured the things heart would be on the left side. He didn't think he'd miss, the only doubts he had was whether or not his custom hextech pistol was powerful enough to put the beast down.

- This is a fun gaaaaaame.
Orianna exclaimed cheerfully as her Ball landed a hit, crushing the ribcage and the organs of the Centaur it crashed with, before quickly veering back to its mistress. Its shiny exterior was now slightly dented - so hard the impact was, and its left side covered in blood. The automaton petted over it affectionately, but did not waste too much time - there were still targets around to play with!
Her head shifted left and right, reassessing the situation and picking the target. Leona seemed to have killed her own playmate, meaning Orianna would have to continue borrowing the demacian's! And now with the Ball back in her possession, she would be able to land a much stronger blow. And his Centaur was injured enough to not be able to defy the Ball's crushing blow, so did the automaton think. Spinning her upper body around, a few times, she had tossed the Ball once again, with all of the strength and momentum she could build up.
- Ravage!
The sphere had controlled its own direction, spinning a bit, and approaching the Centaur not from behind, but from the side! Coming with great force, it wanted to end this Centaur just like it did with the other one - by crashing into it in a bone-shattering strike. Confident for both the Ball and the Demacian to finish off their enemy, the clock-work girl now turned towards Tekun and his little skirmish. Walking towards it with a gleeful grin on her face. Cog-shuriken gleaming in her hand once more.
