The soldiers' enthusiastic charge turns into a bit of a stumble as they glance around, confused at how they seem to have made negative progress. This gives Link ample time to launch himself into the fray with a whirl of sword strikes. The first catches one unawares and he reels back with an injury to his dominant arm, but his partner attempts to retaliate with a bayonet strike from the butt of the gun.
Slightly more competent than his underlings - and better outfitted - the commander of the team raises a ballistic shield to deflect the arrows. "He's a distraction. It's the rebels inside the house we want. Stop messing around with him and stop that broadcast." With this, the recovered Shock Fruit'd soldier gets to one knee and raises a launcher to his shoulder. With a pull of the trigger, a weighted net flies out and spins towards Link.
Behind them, the civilian who led them to this location has decided he has done his civic duty for the empire and hightails it away.
Shu, finding herself with an armful of jiggly, bloated gourds, rebalances herself and begins to put out any flames in the immediate vicinity. The sheer deluge of water the fruits are capable of producing is impressively voluminous. The burning rooftop proves to be a challenge, though, and she quickly makes for the ladder to the side, clambering up as quickly as she can with only one usable arm.
She begins to see why Link has an infinite magic bag.
