Diablo was about to speak, when Rachel heard a loud noise, followed by snarls and hisses, outside. Everybody turned to look. "Could it be another wave of attackers?" Rachel thought. "Haven't they learned by now?" Indeed, the demon knights were trying to force themselves into the room. With her metal right arm, Rachel grabbed the table and flipped it on its side, then pushed it up against the door, holding it there. Her right arm was stronger than any human's and most demon's, so it should hold for a while. Eventually, they'd get smart and try to hack the door down, instead of pushing on it, but at least she was buying everybody time to prepare.
It took them a while to realize that they couldn't overpower her, and start trying to destroy the door and table. Of course, that time took its toll on her. Her right arm may have super strength, but her legs didn't. She was amazed that they hadn't given out already. The door was nearly in shreds now, but the group was ready. Exhausted, Rachel sank to the floor out of the way of the stamped of demons.
