Name: Old Man Bridger
History: -Engaging First-person Monologue-
It was a cold gray September morning when I came outside to realize it had been taken. My entire collection of vintage lawn ornaments, stolen in the night! I knew it was those damned religious nuts over in the building down the road. Damned crazy scientologists over there were always parading about with rare lawn statues and such. They took my '97, my '86, even my '53 collectors' flamingo! I knew something had to be done. A man doesn't take another man's decorations. That's a capital crime in Florida, and this place sure is sunny. I strapped on my glove and picked up my gun, and headed down the road.

WRONG! The correct answer was "Get abducted by aliens".
A second wave of confetti fills the room, covering up the blue light that surrounds you. You slowly lift off the ground, the court room visible below you. The only one who notices is your lawyer, who just shrugs and says "I really shouldn't do cocaine before work."
You continue to rise slowly, going through the roof of the building as if you where a ghost, continuing to rise. The land below you looks like a model, maybe a sims game. In front of the building is a bunch of people now the size of ants, also celebrating your "death" verdict. Above you is blue sky...
Or a cloaked space ship! Suddenly, the sky above you opens up like a sliding door, letting you in the invisible ship. So you don't see it open. You hear it I guess.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!!" One invisible alien states, shaking you back and forth. "HOW CAN OUR RACE LIVE WITHOUT THE GENIUS THAT IS TOM CRUISE!"
"Easy, easy" a second invisible alien states, pulling him off you. Well, that is probably what he did. You can't see anything but blue.
"HOW COULD YOU HAVE DONE SUCH A THING! HAVN'T YOU SEEN MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, ROCK OF AGES, LIONS FOR LAMBS!?!?!" the voice stated, probably struggling in the grip of the other alien.
"It will be over soon buddy." the second alien states, to his friend. He then turns to you (probably), "The humans may have let you off easy, but we will make sure you are punished. Tom Cruise is a hero to the Migo, we where keeping a close eye on this trial. We will make sure you die in an incredibly painful manner in vengeance for our beloved icon. "
What do you do now?

You could try it, there is only 1 "villain" and about 20 minions. Not great chances, but not impossible. Even death may die, after all.
By the way, why headbutt? Of all the things you could slam into his crotch, a fist, a foot, why your head? Seems like the least pleasant choice, and more then a little awkward.
=============
You move like a spring, bringing your head down into the leader's crotch, hitting solidly.
The man doesn't react. He takes a second bite of the mushroom, finishing it. He moves his shotgun now, pointing it directly to the side of your head, holding it with a single hand as if it was a hand gun.
What do you do now?
=============
As you should probably notice by now, that mushroom grants immunity to pain. Among other things.
