[Mooks showing attitude isn't a new thing for Walter; Pokemon refusing to fight is, and it doesn't look like he's going to have the time to sit around and argue with them.
He's getting ready to just heft his sword and do what he can when something...beeps. Something that hasn't beeped in quite a while.
And then the panels on his Gauntlet slide back, it lights up with Japanese text, and a friendly voice chirps out, tinged with an electronic hum: "That was a nice nap...but it looks like I woke up just in time. Sorry to keep you waiting, Master."
The Demon Summoning Program is back online, and its user is ready to rumble (if a little dumbfounded.)]
[Walter's got a sword of his own to fight with, but his real power lies with the little computer on his arm - now activated - and the three demons he's commanding through it.
Macabre, the medieval personification of Death, originating from illuminated religious texts. It moves through the swarms of enemies in an eerily graceful manner, seeming unconcerned as it sweeps its scythe through the boss' minions. It occasionally pauses in its ghoulish dance to unleash a Pandemic Bomb upon whatever foes surround it, leaving them Sick and listless for others to finish off.
Orias, the 59th spirit of the Ars Goetia, a Marquis of Hell that teaches astrology and bestows titles and dignities upon men. He makes a dignified, if grotesque, figure as he circles the boss, using Maragion to leave pools of flame at his horse's feet, setting groups of minions alight. And occasionally, he pauses to pick up a stumbling or fallen ally in his snakes' coil and set them upright again - but not without giving them a brief but probably terrifying stare.
Wendigo, an Algonquian cannibal spirit that looks more like a yeti or sasquatch unless you hear Walter calling its name. It's much larger than the other two, and much more brutal, crushing minions under its fists and howling out gouts of freezing breath. It's also the one that requires the most babysitting, since Walter's feeling every hit his demons take and Wendigo isn't quite smart or agile enough to dodge blows. He ends up having to recall it periodically, but the intervals when Wendigo is out and pummeling things are intense ones.
The downside to having powerful minions is that it's taking its toll on Walter's reserves, and fast. Orias and Macabre quickly pick up on the need to avoid damage, but their summoner is definitely showing the strain of keeping track of his demons. He could use some support.]
