Hydra Standoff

You are the royal guards last line a defense. A small bird with not much of a chance to make it out alive. You find yourself in a battle against a Hydra on the bridge to the village. It's time to prove to everyone that you aren't just some wee little bird that knows how to use a sword. You will be seen as a legendary hero that saved the town from this horrific threat.... At least you can tell yourself that. Whatever the case is. This is the end. The best you can do is buy some time while the villagers evacuate. 

Try your best to stay alive and get the best score you can. Before your inevitable fate burns you to a crisp.
