James seemed to be in some kind of drunken haze.

Liz blinked in shock, her eyes returning to normal as she lost her focus on the magic. ”Excuse me! You what? And how does that look weak?” she asked disbelieving.

"I… Let's just fight." James sighed before charging into the battlefield, strings wrapping around his victims as they got chopped to pieces.

Liz frowned but followed James into the battle, going back to firing her gun for now. She wasn't going to let his comments go that easily.
Glancing back up at the Giant she smirked a little and caught up to her commander. ”I know you like to read, so have you ever heard of a story called Gulliver's Travels?” she suggested.

"Course, it's a classic, why do you ask?" He turned the strings into a shield to save himself from an arrow then continued massacring.

”Oh, I’m sure a smart guy like you can take a guess.” she smiled, looking up at the Titan. ”I’d say that’s our biggest threat at the moment. I don't know how much more I can do but I'm willing to try to help you out.” she told him. Honestly, she was trying not to focus on how thoughtlessly he was killing. Her only solace was that it was only their enemies that he was attacking.

"Fine, just dont get yourself hurt in the process," James sighed as he looked at the titan.
"We need a distraction, can you think of one?"

Liz shrugged a little before firing another shot. ”I can think of a few. Problem is, not all of them are safe and the only ones I've got for the big guy involve either a rocket launcher or a tank.” she admitted. ”You got anything better?”

"We make him focus his shots on one person, the one capable of withstanding those shots… And there is only one who can probably do that right now…" He sighed.

”Do you really think you can handle being hit by that guy?” she asked disbelievingly. ”I can at least try to wrap the guy up for you but… I want you to be safe too.”

"I'm the only one who can last long enough to take him down, and if I dont, many people will die." He looked at her,
"In case I do, I'd like to say this, I really did mean what I said before."

Liz looked at him, blushing. ”That you…” she started before turning to face him. ”Live through this and tell me again, then I’ll kiss ya for it. Now, what do you need me to do?” she asked with a confident smirk.

"I need you to first cause him to fall over, then, put a net over and start bombing him." James said with a slight smile before nodding.
"Lets do it."

”Yes, sir, commander.” she smiled, reaching inside for magic again. Picturing the strong black threads binding the giant's legs from his ankles up to his knees, hoping to cause him to lose his balance. ”Timber.”

The giant wasnt affected, it simply just stumbled for a second then relaxed. It began to fire spells at James, the area around him bursting into flames and cooking both humans and the natives alike.

James began to run, his powers turning into a shield as he withstood the bombardment. But slowly but surely, it began to crack.

Liz furrowed her brow in frustration and imagined a thick black pole hitting the giant in the back of his knees. ”Fall damn it.” she growled.

The titan then looked at the annoying midget and sent a black, cold fireball at it, roaring in anger as it fell to the ground.

James quickly stopped infront of her and brought out the biggest shield he could, stopping the fireball from encroaching near the ship. And Liz. It slowly began to crack as James growled in pain.
"Run, Liz run," He struggled to say.

Liz did run… Until she was standing right beside James and added her power to help strengthen his shield anyway it could. ”I don't run away from anything.” she told him through clenched teeth, wishing there was a way to just put out this fire so they could finish off the giant all ready.

"God, seriously, well, I suppose this is making me want that kiss more," He joked with a chuckle as his shield healed itself from the boost.
"Be careful then." He slowly reached out his hand and grabbed the radio, send it. NOW!" The radio crackled as a 'yessir' was heard. Then, a missile launched heading all the way to the titan and hitting it, sending a bright light and blinding everything nearby.

She smirked at his comment. ”I’m looking forward to it.” she said in a teasing tone but genuinely meaning it. She closed her eyes as she heard the missile coming, knowing what would happen once it hit, and concentrated on keeping the shield strong.

The ground shook and the land cried as cracks formed on the ground. An ear-piercing cry sounded as a loud crash was heard. Blood and gore went everywhere and the smell of sulfur coursed through the air.
"F*ck…" He swore as his ears started bleeding and a ringing tone was heard in his head.
"Ah… Liz you alright?" He turned and looked at her in worry.

Liz had dropped to her knees because of the impact, her hands were over her ears and her eyes were closed. The loud crash and the horrid smell caused her to let go of her magic in favor of focusing on breathing so she didn't pass out. Normally, that wasn't a problem for her, but she didn't want to start now. But overall she looked alright other than a bit shaken.

"Ahh f"ck." He groaned as he looked down, his eyes widening to see an arrow impaled in his chest, he coughed blood and swore again.
"Seriously…"

The invaders retreated, many of them dying while doing so. This would set fear in the empire, and legends would be told on the Class 8 Spell that killed a powerful Imperial Mage.

Liz slowly opened her eyes and took her hands away from her ears as the ringing died off. She took a calming breath and stood up before choking a little on the smell. ”Is it over?” she asked softly, watching the Empire’s army run. She turned to James, her eyes widening as she saw the arrow. ”Oh my God. James…” she gasped before positioning herself to help support him. ”Come on, champ. Let's get to the medbay and get patched up.”

"Why does this have to happen with me?" Blood dribbled down his mouth.
"I just wanted a kiss and here I am…" He chuckled before wincing in pain.
"It's alright Liz,"
