"Gah!" Erinye gah'd, hitting the ground. She looked up at the tower of Gin's, She looked above them, at the orb where it was positioned in the statue's hand.
She fired her gun at the Gin at the bottom of the tower, a dead-on-headshot, with him down, the tower would collapse.

The Gin at the bottom din't seem to register the pain probably due to the adrenaline before stumbled around, causing the tower to falter before the first collapsed and vanished into pink smoke and the three Gin's landed on the floor while the fifth one grabbed onto his necklace to prevent himself from falling and was dangling there as he looked down and started climbing his way towards the hand by using the necklace.
The three Gin's got up and turned their attention to Erinye as they ran up to her and started stomping her around like bullies picking on a younger student at a school playground.
Nephthys got slashed by another Gin in her shoulder and coughed blood out before adjusting her staff and shoot a beam that smashed that Gin into a wall.
The force of that beam and the speed that struck Gin into the wall caused him to land on the ground before he vanished into smoke too, that's two Gin's down so far, 14 more to go.
Another Gin run past Nephthys, pulling the staff out of her grasp as he ran towards a support beam.
"Gee, this thing is pretty useful, huh?" Gin asked.
Nephthys turned to Gin.
"...Give. That. Back." Nephthys said, as her expression darkened.
"Oooh, scary, this thing must be really important to you, huh? Gee, I wonder what would happen if I smash it to pieces when I hit against this bad boy, huh!?" Gin asked, as he raised the staff and about to smash it against the pillar.
"STOP!" Nephthys yelled, rushing towards him.

A beam was fired from Erinye's gun, one that struck Gin right in the wrist, forcing him to drop the staff before he could actually smash it.
Still on the floor, she then fired at the Gin's that where still kicking at her.

The Gin's got knocked on the floor but they din't vanish as they would eventually get back up and start kicking her again while the one climbing on his necklace was getting closer to the statue hand before grabbing onto it.
Nephthys rolled herself into a ball, grabbing the sphere and pointed it right in Gin's face, glowing very brightly as her eyes glew with anger.
"...The spirit inside this staff means a lot to me to let it be smashed, more than your single-minded mind trapped by anger and pity can ever comprehend!" Nephthys yelled.
She launched a rather massive beam that engulfed his head, leaving him without a head before he crumbled to his knees and vanished.
Then one Gin grabbed Nephthys by her hand and pulled her into the center as he and two more Gin's gathered around to cut and beat her up till she summoned a sphere to shield herself while they kept kicking and punching. She was visibly struggling inside the sphere, trying to keep it up as best as she could.
"Ugh, just how was he able to make so many copies of himself?" Nephthys wondered.
As the Gin's kept attacking the sphere, making a few cracks, Nephthys focused her ears and could hear a sound coming somewhere on the Sphinx on the outside, it sounded like someone playing a musical instrument.
"...That music...I heard it before...it's that girl with the elements, Nakiri, me and your father fought her on Khepri, she must be the one behind this army of Gin's!" Nephthys said.
"Nice work, detective! But how are you gonna reach her while you are stuck with us!?" Gin asked, while kicking at the sphere, nearly breaking it.
---
Outside.
Nakiri was playing her flute on the Sphinx's back, energy of the Imagination element being transferred from her knife into her flute, using it to create the Gin's who are attacking Nephthys and Erinye while at the same time, setting up a pink dome around the area as Cyndass appeared in view and bumped his head right into the imaginary dome.
Cleopatra, sitting on his back, kicked against the dome and din't even lay a single scratch on it.
"Damn it, I refuse to get off this planet without a orb again! Let me through!" Cleopatra yelled, kicking and punching at the dome while Cyndass tried to burn it.
This dome was created to keep both pirate ships and the duo when the orb will eventually come out of the building.
Balthazar was too distracted by Cupid's attacks to even notice the dome around the Sphinx, trapping him inside with the pirates.

...Outside of the dome, in their ship..
Castor and Pollux were both in the cockpit, Castor was standing upright at the side of the pilots seat, where Pollux was sitting cross-legged, with a plate of salad resting next to the keyboard.
"..Hm, dome." Pollux said. "..Dome."
..
In Cupid's ship, Zener was looking at everything via camera feed on the computer at the Man's desk, silent. She looked over at the feed of Cyndass and Cleopatra attacking the dome,
and chose to do nothing, not drawing any attention to herself.
...
Just at the very edge of the dome, Psyche looked straight to it- in the middle of wrapping a makeshift bandage around her hand. Looking up in the sky and noticing the dragon.
She took a step away from the dome, looking over at the sphinx, and saw Nakiri.
As Cupid's onslaught began to gradually lessen, Psyche tensed her fingers up and swung her arms upwards,
"Wait!" A Voice, Zener's, reverberated inside her brain. "If you bring the dome down, you'll just get the dragon involved! Deal with the Guardian first!"
"..Are you sure?" Psyche asked.
"Trust me, it's way more manageable to deal with these things one at a time. That's why Cupid wanted us to overwhelm them, right?"
"..Right." Psyche said, as she re-directed her spirit griffins. They flew over Cupid, one of them firing his spirit arrows at Balthazar from above, while the other flew right for him, tackling the Guardian.
Finally given a chance at rest, Cupid stopped firing the orange projectiles, and let out a deep breath. Not paying Daphne's pale and hollow skin any mind as he got back to his feet, his wounds quickly healing themselves up as he picked up one of her knives. A Burst of Red energy surrounded it and he flicked it at Balthazar; when it made contact, the knife exploded quite violently. Shrapnel piercing the Guardian and sending him even further back, as the two spirit Griffins continued their onslaught.

Balthazar got hit once more and started bleeding out of his body, he looked tired but he wasn't gonna give up now, atleast till the girls get out of the orb.
He decided to use another trick as he placed the Lancer against his chest, spreading his wings and started spinning slowly till he began to gain speed and began spinning very rapidly till he resembled a tornado.
The force of the tornado dragged the spirits of the griffins inside the tornado and as a result, Psyche was lifted off her feet and was being spinned around from the distance as long as she kept her hold on those spirits as she got smacked into some trees, even Cupid himself was being dragged slowly towards Balthazar.

Psyche, after getting hit by a couple of trees, released both spirits, leaving them to flop around uselessly inside the tornado as she turned around and sent her strings into a different deceased griffin. Using it as a kind of tether as she landed on a nearby tree branch.
The pale, Limpless Daphne flew into the tornado with little resistance on her part on account of not being conscious, while Cupid frowned slightly.
He grabbed onto one of Daphne's cords, and then swung her around, before smacking Balthazar square in the face with Daphne's torso, the other cord around her waist was knocked loose and began to pin around the living Griffin, wrapping itself around him.
Cupid then lifted it up, lifting up both Daphne and Balthazar, and spinning around in place, throwing both of them into the wall of the dome.

Balthazar smacked his feet against the dome before sent himself towards Cupid like a missile and headbutted him in the chest, sending him crashing into the dome's wall.
Nakiri, while playing the flute, just rolled her eyes off at the two titans showing off their dominance towards each other.
"Just get the damn orb and get the hell out of here, Gin, what the hell are you waiting for?" Nakiri asked in her mind.
----
Back to the fight of the Gin's.
The three Gin's were close to break Nephthys's sphere before she had no choice but to break it herself, knocking them away.
The Gin who was currently climbing on the statue hand was now close to the orb and reached out to it with a gleeful smile.

Erinye forcibly threw herself to her feet, shooting away the ones that were kicking at her, before pointing another gun up with her second hand- and firing it up at the Gin climbing the statue.
She then whirled round, using both guns to fire at the ones that kept kicking at her, looking seriously annoyed.

The Gin's that attacked Erinye ended up with bullet holes but din't disappear as one one of them jumped up and kicked one of her guns in the air and sliced it in half with his knife before another Gin stabbed her thigh with his knife.
The Gin on the statue got shot in his side, causing him to balance and let's go off the statue but grabbed onto the finger and used all of his might to climb back up.
Nephthys placed her staff against her chest.
"APEP, ENEMY OF LIGHT, LET'S UNITE!"
Nephthys became Apep once more and shot lightning bolts at the Gin's near her before opening her mouth and releasing the dark mist that surrounded the Gin mob.
She slithered through the dark mist, slashing at the Gin's while going past them, leaving bloody marks on them before she captured one Gin and bit his head off, just like the other copies, he vanished aswell, leaving 12 Gin's left.
8 out of the Gin's escaped from the fog as one of them threw his necklace in the fog, managing to grab Nephthys by her throat and pulled her out, dragging her on the floor.
While keeping her there, two more Gin's ran at Nephthys's sides, launching their necklaces and they tangled around her arms.
"Let's see how tough you are after you will remain out of arms!" Gin declared.
The two walked backwards, pulling their necklaces, stretching Nephthys's arms till they would manage to successfully pull them out of her sockets as Nephthys cried out in pain.

And then-
A Satchel flew straight for one of the Gin's faces, there was a particularly nasty *CRUNCH* Sound from inside said bag as it collided with one of their cheeks, knocking that Gin to the floor.
And then, several bullets flew at the rest of them. Erinye emptied out both of her guns, using one to riddle the Gin's puddling at Nephthys's other arm with holes, and the other to shoot away the ones that were still attacking her.
Her focus was divided, but she was damaging both groups of Gin's.

The two Gin's at Nephthys's arms vanished, leaving 10 more.
The rest of the Gin's who were being shot on used their knives to deflect Erinye's bullets, they ended up falling on the floor.
Nephthys tore the necklaces off before she changed back into her human form, looking exhausted before aiming her staff up again.
"AMMIT, DEVOURER OF THE DEAD!" Nephthys said.
She changed into Ammit next and let out a roar before she charged at the Gin's who were blocking Erinye's attacks, slashing at three of them with her claws and kicked three of them aside before turning her attention to the Gin who was still crawling on the statue holding the orb.
Before she could leap towards him, the three Gin's she attacked before jumped on her, one wrapped himself around her neck and began stabbing her neck while the other two were kicking her legs and stabbing them with their spikes.

Erinye ran forwards; pulling a different gun out and firing it, a blast of ice shot out of it, a wide enough shot to hit the two Gin's that were kicking at her legs.

The two Gin's got frozen and Nephthys slashed them both to pieces while she picked up the Gin at her neck and threw him into the wall and collapsed, but he din't vanish.
Nephthys fell to her knees as she changed back to her human form, panting as she was bleeding from her neck and legs plus having to evolve twice costed her a lot of energy and her body was in critical shape.
She held her staff and considered her options.
"...If the third one won't do any differently than the other two, then nothing will!" Nephthys said.
As she said, her crystal changed it's color to blue.
Then, one of the Gin's tackled Erinye to the ground, knocking her ice gun to the floor as he grabbed her by her neck, deciding to choke her instead and plunged one of his knives into her arm to keep her from reaching her gun.

Luckily for Erinye, she had two arms.
And also two legs, she kicked that Gin in the groin, then grabbed one of her unloaded guns and struck him in the face with it. She then used that opportunity to reach over, grab the ice gun with the arm that wasn't stabbed, and then fired it point-blank at his face.
