If I had to write a list of your favourite words, battalion would be in the top five :P Just kidding ;-) We're talking about the word company still? My point was that it was ambiguous. That's either a reason for it to stay or go. The problem comes because we are referring to soldiers; that's probably why I am so concerned with terminology. It can stay or go, your call.

You always state that you're not, but you still know your stuff :P You always have me looking up linguistic terminology to help me gain more of an understanding, and for that I am thankful :-) You're right, that is choppy. I should really think properly; when you make a change, you don't just affect that line, but potentially the whole paragraph. I can't change it tonight though.

Yes! I am happy with that :-) Still keep the bit about ferocity though. Suddenly is a good compromise for surprise.

Ah, now I see that you want that bit out. Hmm... It is clear that he is initially distracted by Elsa's ferocity. How about this (I don't know how to do the box thing): "Realizing it was them or her, Elsa fought with a new-found ferocity, pinning one thug against the wall with a cage of spikes, with one threatening to impale his neck."

Also is "cage" the right word?
