But you don't have time for this, raising your right arm as your wife screams from inside. But, as she screams suddenly the two "unconscious" attackers, both of them your neighbors here spring into action, both leaping at you from behind. Turning with a backfist you knock the first out cold, dropping him while continuing the spin into a left hook. You deck the second as well, knocking both of the women unconscious in a single blow each. But in that moment, the unfamiliar alien rushes your back, blade flashing. "DIE!!"
Continuing your spin you also step back, narrowly avoiding the blade thrust at your back. It cuts through the flannel fabric serving as a uniform like butter, slicing your right shoulder deep enough to draw a spray of crimson blood.
"Tch!" you seethe through gritted teeth, planting your feet and giving the alien a short, powerful left uppercut to the guts. One that rips the snakeman clean in two, but you have no time to worry about him. Dashing forward you sprint into your home, through the signs of battle towards your wife's shouts. Bursting through the living room and into your bedroom, you see three more of your neighbors, kindly souls all who've never harmed anyone have your wife cornered. curled up defensively on the bed, using her arms and legs more to defend her middle, YOUR child than her own head. Which is cut up and bruising already, causing your blood to boil. "Redis!"
"Help...me..." she says weakly, eyes rolled up into the back of her head. And you see red. Without hesitation you go on the attack, decapitating the first with a backhanded right chop, a turning left kick splattering the second's head all over the back wall as well. Finishing your attack you spin, grabbing the third's head in your left, crushing it in a spray of blood and gore. "S-Stop, no. I won't... Let you..."
"Shhh, it's okay. I've got you." you tell your battered wife, picking her up in both arms. Expanding your ki sense, you realize more are on the way as she trembles in your grip, desperately clutching onto you like a drowning woman a life raft. You need to leave, now. "It's okay Redis, we're leaving."
Shifting your grip of her to one arm you open the closet, drawing out the bag of emergency rations and supplies. Slinging it over your left shoulder, wife in your right you kick down the wall, fleeing your new home. Flying further into the mountains behind your home, where you'd left your ship, you reach the small wooden structure, landing before the door.
