The immediate aftermath of Lando's unexpected act was chaos.
The once-peaceful village was transformed into a warzone, with civilians scrambling for safety and the air filled with gunshots and shouts.
Reacting quickly, Lando aimed the pistol and fired at the other Titan City guards.
His shots, precise and calculated, forced the guards to seek cover behind the village's sandy brick structures.
The rest of the group sprang into action. River, Rylie, and Garza launched an offensive, their weapons trained on the guards.
Kesha, in his valiant attempt to flank the guards, was caught off guard. A bullet penetrated his leg, causing him to crumple to the ground in agony.
Garza, noticing this, sprinted towards him, using his body as a shield. With immense effort, he dragged Kesha to safety, positioning him behind a sturdy brick wall where Rylie immediately began tending to his injury.
