it?”
    “Well yeah. If you die, I just have to kill one demon in Nightmare’s army and one from Astaroth’s. I believe in you, boss. 500 kills is nothing for the major demon of…”
    Aim realized Murmur was looking at him like he wanted to kill him.
    “It was a joke. You go in first and start butchering them. Then Jess teleports small groups of our armies in to surround them and close in. We’ll take some losses but it’ll be worth it. I’d like to remind you once again that you currently have five snipers. That’s pitiful and we should all be ashamed of ourselves.”
    “And Jess is on board with this?”
    “Do I think it’s a good plan? No. Do I think it’s a decent plan considering the fact that my idiot brother came up with it? Kind of. Am I willing to transport demons in to back you up? Absolutely. We can’t let anything happen to our fearless leader, Murmur, the overly large teddy bear.”
    “I’d kind of like to kill both of you right now.”
    Aim smiled and started running towards his position on the cliff.
    “Perfect, boss. Now take that attitude into the canyon and kill all the cowboy demons.”
     
     
    Aim signaled to the other snipers to take their places. The ragged band of demons ran to the spots he had pointed out to them earlier. None of them found adequate cover. Aim tried to signal to them that they needed to find better cover. None of them understood his signals. Jess, who was still standing next to Aim, shook her head.
    “This is a really bad idea. You’re going to get Murmur hurt down there.”
    “I think everything will be fine. He’s a tough demon. Plus he knows that I want this sniper rifle really, really badly.”
    “And you think that affects his ability to kill 500 demons?”
    “Shouldn’t it?”
    “I’m holding you responsible if he gets hurt.”
    Aim put his right eye up to the scope on his rifle.
    “Yeah, yeah… Murmur said the same thing. Don’t worry so much. Also… go get in position. It’s kind of obvious where I am when you’re standing right next to me. Not great for a sniper.”
    Jess waved her staff and a large sign appeared next to Aim’s position. It pointed directly at Aim and said “I’m with stupid.” Aim’s read it and his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
    “Not funny, Jess. Get that sign out of here.”
    Jess grinned and waved her staff again. The sign disappeared.
    “Please go get in position. Murmur’s life is actually in your hands. You need to be consistently transporting demons into the canyon to back him up.”
    “Fine. Just make sure the um… what are we calling them again?”
    “Cowboy demons.”
    “They don’t look like cowboys.”
    “It’s because they’re gunslingers and we’re robbing them and… just call them cowboy demons. That’s what they’re called in my plan.”
    “Make sure the cowboy demons keep their focus on you and your ‘snipers.’”
    Jess made air quotes when she said the word snipers. Aim frowned and Jess jogged off to get into position. Aim gave the signal to get ready and his snipers started firing. Aim smacked his forehead and then joined in. After a few shots, he realized that he was the only one hitting any of the cowboy demons. Murmur teleported in and started attacking. He heard five loud bangs and saw all of Aim’s snipers fall off the cliff.
    “Shit.”
    Murmur cleared a path backwards with wide swings of his scythe. His armor and Dragonscale had deflected the shots fired on him but he was beginning to worry. The cowboy demons realized what was going on and closed in around Murmur. He was surrounded with hundreds of guns trained on him. He had barely made a dent in their ranks.
    “Well, well, well… General Murmur. I thought you worked for the Dragon, but as soon as you realize he’s gone to Earth you try to steal from him. So… you didn’t think he would leave anyone competent in charge? And you try to distract us with… what was that? Six idiots with guns? I guess only one of
