Arthur rolled his eyes at MoG's words. "I am not vouching for him. Even if he isn't actively out for blood, he is not a nice guy." The sound of alarm soon filled the air and everyone took the opportunity to raise some hell. Unfortunately for Arthur, everyone already took the interesting targets, leaving him with the three shield guys.
Arthur calmly walked towards his targets. The guards used handguns to fire at him while remaining in the cover of their shields, but he could make shields of his own out of ice to block their bullets.
"My turn." Suddenly ice encased the gun arm of one of the guards and pulled it down. Hoping the guard was distracted, Arthur appeared behind him and tried kicking him in the back of the knees. If the man fell on the ground, the ice mage tried kicking him in the head to knock him out. The next guy's shield was suddenly encased in an ice wall and Arthur tried slamming the man's face in the back of the shield to knock him out, too. For the final guy Arthur jumped over him with an awesome flip and tried putting him in a choke hold until he fainted.

Not wanting to be left behind in the dirt, Jose plants his feet against the ground as he calls on the earth to help boost his charge. As he shots forward, the floor around him cracks under the force of his feet pushing off the ground. Using his Ki senses to his advantage, the young bounty hunter adjusting his body to avoid being within the trajectory of Rin's Ki arrows. Thanks to the actions of his comrades, he manages slip past a gap in-between the shield guards formation to close the distance between himself and the shotgun-armed guards. While still using the momentum of his charge, he quickly launches a quick jumping front kick to the middle Shotgun-armed guard's chest and before his feet could touch the ground again, he quickly proceeds to fire and aim two simultaneously side kicks to the remaining shotgun guards' temporal sections of their skulls.

Lara spotted Huntsman's piece flying at her through a sensor in her helmet, and fired her shotgun at it. A large plasma shell rocketed out of the barrel and exploded upon contact, sending the pieces of Huntsman scattering across the room in a flaming wreckage. "Easier said than done, Clover." Lara says plainly, setting her sights upon whom she saw as the main issue; Huntsman. "You have been warned." And with that, Lara turns her shotgun to fire a shot at him directly...when her headset began to ring. "Yes? I'm dealing w-...affirmative." With the short conversation out of the way, Lara lowers her shotgun and turns to Clover. "This was a distraction. A group is trying to get into the wall, and they are nearly there. Move."
Turning to leave, Lara gave one glare at both Huntsman and Dan...and shot a plasma shell at Huntsman too. Should it connect, it would undoubtedly cause the shapeshifter to explode into dozens of flaming bits of himself. Right after firing the round, Lara sprints forward and bursts open through the casino doors, running at vastly inhuman speeds toward the bridge where the other group was fighting.
---
Everyone's attacks took the security guards by surprise, and each of them fell one by one. The front guards were all knocked out by Arthur's expertly executed attack, the middle ones were overwhelmed by Rin's arrows and Jose's followup attack, and Haruko managed to knock out the rear guards with 4 explosive knives that blew up in their chests, knocking them unconscious after Fumi stole their guns. Making sure they were all out, Haruko turned to the newcomer of the group. "Hello, I don't believe we have met before. I'm Haruko Miyata, what is your name?" Regardless if Fumi responded or not, the group was soon approached by two more enemies that were vastly more powerful than the security guards.
Lara skidded to a stop at the foot of the bridge, behind everyone with her shotgun ready. So this is the main group wanting to break the law? "You violated the law...the sentence; death." Lara says plainly, her body beginning to shift. Her armor became much thicker, gaining additional layers of what seemed to be plate armor on top of her bulletproof suit. Her shotgun morphed into a dark black assault rifle, with many attachment attached to the sides. "Clover, cover me." Lara ordered as she began to open fire on Jose and Arthur. The bullets were much faster than the ones used by the security team, barreling through the stone of the bridge like it were butter. Upon inspection of the bullet holes, one would see singe marks along the inside, indicating that the bullets were superheated to cause more internal damage should they strike an opponent. Haruko dove to the side to avoid Lara's assault, looking at the gem attached to her necklace. Should she risk it...?
---
"JOE! There is a situation! The evildoers are trying to break through the checkpoint!" Lance yells across the room, Josuke reeling back in surprise. "Yeah, I heard, man. Don't worry, Lara and Clover got it handled. And if they don't, I'm sure they'll be nice and softened up for us." Lance didn't like to wait, but he thought the logic was sound. "Very well! Should our comrades fail, we shall smite the villains with my mighty arsenal of swords!"

"A distraction?" asked Chase in confusion. "What the fuck are you talking about?" Before he could get his answer he picks up a soul approaching from behind him with a deadly intention. Turning around he spots the strike just in the nick of time to avoid his neck from being pierced with a quick head bob to the side. However he couldn't completely evade the plasma blade as the green energy blade grazes his neck, causing the soulless man to wince in slight agony. Yet as quickly as the wound appeared on his neck it just as swiftly disappears due to his enhance healing factor. His fingers touch the vanishing scar tissue for a moment as he looks directly at Clover. "Not bad, but you are going to have to do better than that if you want to kill me," he said with a threatening tone. "Huntsman-" before he got a chance to ask his question the officer with the shotgun fires a round directly at his friend. Annoyed that Lara had cut him off, he quickly move to intercept the plasma shell by summoning his shield and blocking the pellets. Thankfully the shield Smith made for him proofs its worth once again as it withstood the force of the projectiles. "Its not nice to-HEY!" shouted Chase as Lara had already sprinted out of the room as she heads to face the others on the bridge. "I miss the good old days when people had manners," he sighed to himself.
Turning his attention back to Huntsman he finally gets to ask his question, "So out of curiosity....is Eve here?" Worried that the Wild Hunt Leader is looking for the money he owes her, Chase begins to think of an escape route to get off this island. As he tries to figure out his plan to evacuate, he doesn't bother to pay attention to Clover and Dan.
Seeing the incoming bullets, the earth shaker quickly moves to become a shield for his comrade. As he stands in front of Arthur, he slows down his breathing as he begins to concentrate. His Ki begins to shine in its usual reddish glow around him as he begins to boost his body's capabilities. He then proceeds to enter into a low stance with both of his hands resting on his hips. Right before the rounds are going to hit him, his Ki quickly shift to cover only his hands and he proceeds to throw a punch at the closest bullet. His fists are already capable of breaking apart solid stone without the use of KI or his powers. Yet when his punch is fused with Ki, he could easily smash steel. Timing his punch with incredible precision, the center of his middle finger's knuckle, which is coated with a layer of Ki, makes contact with the center of the round, causing the bullet to explode in a small puff of smoke. As the next bullet is a split second from penetrating him, he throws another punch with the same level of intensity and accuracy as his first one, which creates another small puff of smoke.
Not long after does the earth shaker's fists become blurs as he continues to punch the incoming bullets into more puffs of smoke. However he knew he couldn't keep this up for long. Each bullet is slowly chipping away at the Ki layer protecting his hands, plus should he make a mistake with his timing or precision, the bullets could very easily hit his expose body. He couldn't see himself being able to take a few of these bullets directly. As he continues to defend Arthur (and him alone) from the bullets, though he shouts through his clench teeth, "Please tell me someone has a plan!!!"

Clover looked at Lara and pocketed her daggers. "Seriously? Damn. So our fears are confirmed." The invisible Clover stepped back away under Lara's cover, pausing only to nab bits of blood and flesh off the floor. She chuckled when Huntsman ducked behind Chase, letting his shield defend the abomination from its righteous firestorm. Teamwork. Like her and Lara. She slipped away, invisible, to join Lara again.
Huntsman hugged his friend from behind, tentacles leaking a liquid that slightly stung. "Eve? Nah, she sat this one out. She had to take down a rampaging tooth fairy calling herself the Dementist." Huntsman released Chase to dodge a swing from Dan. "Get off of him!" Dan yelled, mistaking affection for assault. "Hey, fuck off. He's my friend." Huntsman stuck his tongue out at his rival, not making a move to attack. "What? Fine, I don't care, I'm making a run for the gate." Dan ran out the door, after the strange armored women. He didn't know what these guys were, but they were heading right towards his friends.
Clover slotted her blood samples into the portable DNA reader she snatched from a fallen guard. With all the criminals that frequented the island, it was good to have a ready means of identifying all of them. "Blondie doesn't have a match. Looks like not been here before and none of our databases have anything on him. The squid's called Huntsman. Looks like a real doll. Counts of murder on every continent. Including Antarctica. I don't know how you'd even pull that off. The big guy in pink's Bo Xu. At least... according to the DNA. But look at him." Lara displayed an image of a being who was more a mountain of muscle than a man, with facial features clearly nearly exactly like Dan, but aged up at least 30 years and a trimmed white beard hugging his chin. "It says he's 68. That guy back in there look 68 to you?" She asked her stoic partner as they approached the enemy.
"Close it up you idiots! Lara, let's drive them into the wall and crush them!" She yelled at the guards, changing forms. A large fin jutted out each side of her left arm to form a shield and a bar dropped off her other to form a baton and many of her armor pieces shifted upwards, more heavily armoring her torso at the expense of her lower body. She advanced towards the criminals to be suppressed, shield raised. The stone man would be first. With him in pieces, they would have cover no more. She swung her baton for his knee to drop him before swinging it back around to smash his head with striking grace for her heavy weapons. This was the Clover Corner and she knew exactly what gamble she was making.

Fumi didn't answer the pink haired girl's question, not because she didn't want to, bur because there was clearly no time for formalities. These grunts seemed to be just fodder for this group and the real big bads were coming in hot; particularly the one with the super nasty gun. Fumi liked camaraderie, more bodies giving her more survivability, but she didn't like the looks of these two important types. Biting down on her gum, Fumi sucked in a sharp breath and pooled to the ground, dipping out as quickly as she could.
When she reappeared, it was beside the other guy she saw with the girl who was both hitting and shooting, something she thought she would only see in movies. Behind the safety of cover, Fumi only sighed loudly to announce herself to both Gen and Rin, blowing a bright bubble before popping it as she eyed these two menaces from behind. Heavy armor, heavy guns, those kinds of things meant little to a girl that could bust into bank safe rooms...but having the time to do it was the problematic part. Fumi wanted to help, out of personal desire of course, if these two were just the outside problem...imagine the inside.
With a bright smile spreading on her face as she watched Clover go in, Fumi pulled her gum from her mouth and stuck it on the nearest wall, leaving in a brilliant puff of smoke without so much as a word to the two.
When she reappeared next, it would be in a sharp instant, her hands pressed into the ground just beneath Clover’s feet. Fumi didn't want to get too handsy with this one, not exactly desiring that reaction time this chick had...but she could dip in and out and be a goddamn nuisance.
The ground she touched disappeared in a puff of smoke and she dragged her hands quickly, pulling as much of the ground as she could with her and issuing a sharp whistle, wishing to disrupt and signal to the rocky man in front of the large hole she had just made; a good push or two, and this chick’s weakened lower body wouldn't exactly stop her from toppling, would it? Now was a pivotal moment for Fumi; between the whistle and her focus, she had only a split second to make a decision...run or cause more trouble?
The answer came with a flick of her wrists and a drop of her focus as the chunk of rock, that would fit like a puzzle piece into the empty space on the ground, went flying towards Lara with only gravity as its driving force. Fumi’s biggest problem now was the dangerous few seconds she was now needing to take to suck in a breath, leaving her vulnerable in the few precious moments.

Watching Dan rush out of the casino, Chase couldn't help but shake his head out of disbelieve. "So thats the real Dan huh," he said to no in particular. Returning his attention back to Huntsman, the soulless man's typically cold stone face begins to lighten up. He walks up the shapeshifter and pats his back, "Its good to see you " he said with a genuine smile on his face. It feels like years since he last saw his friend. "Anyway-," he started to say as his face returns to his usual nonchalant expression, "-Eve's not here, so I suppose I can help you out with your mission, especially since I imagine we are probably here for the same reason." He takes a moment to examine the ruin bar once more as he makes sure he is not leaving a bottle behind. Frowning as there is nothing left, he makes a hand gesture to Huntsman as he says, "Let's get going."

Just as they finished off the basic grunts, two new challengers appeared. Unfortunately, these new enemies seemed stronger then the basic guards. Their skill more then confirmed what their appearance hinted at. "I knew subtle was the way to go," he muttered.
The situation was not going as planned. His teammates were handling the newcomers, but that wasn't the biggest issue. The alarms have been raised and reinforcements were surely on the way. If reinforcements arrive, it's unlikely they'll be getting in anytime soon. "Guys! Go through the gate! Quickly! Before more of them show up!" He yelled. "I'll keep them busy while you guys get through!"
He started running toward Lara and when he got close to her he jumped to the side. Bouncing off of an ice wall, he tried getting behind her and slashing at her with an ice sword.

-Fuck this!- Gen shouted as his hand grasped the Gainen medal on his hand. He hated not being able to fight, he felt like dead weight for Rin, who accepted to escort him to the island to find the cave where Nensho was. The energy built up around his fist, rising it above his head, but the moment he did that Rin turned around and grabbed his wrist, forcibly lowering his arm. For a second there was a silent struggle between the Shishioh Siblings, their eyes locked and burning brightly, frustration clear on Gen’s yellow iris, while stern determination shined deep within Rin’s blue orbs. Their muscles tensed under their skin and for a moment it seemed that Gen had the upper hand, considering his physique, but a blue glow surrounded his sister’s arm and she easily lowered his arm. -Gen.- She murmured. -I don’t know what are you able to do in that form, but I feel that this isn’t the time to use it.- The battle was starting while the siblings were having this stand off.
-Tsk.- Gen cluckled his tongue and looked away, stopping to put any kind of strength to his arm. Rin released his wrist and turned around. -I’m going to help them, so I can help you Gen-niisan.- The Youngest Shishioh charged forward through the hail of bullets using her weapon in its Naginata form, spinning it like a windmill while covering it with her ki, creating a circular shield in front of her, that instead of deflecting the bullets it managed to cancel their momentum, so they wouldn’t ricochet and hit Gen or the others. Once the barrage ended Rin rushed forward, readying her weapon. -Gen-niisan, go on! I’ll help Cromwell-san with this.- She proclaimed as she charged towards Lara, attacking her from the front with an upward slash to distract her from Arthur’s attack. Gen stomped the floor with barely hidden anger and started running in a large curve, trying to avoid the newcomers to get into the door, always diving from cover to cover.

Lara watched as her bullets were deflected by Rin and Jose, frowning at how they were managing to survive this onslaught of anti-HW bullets from her assault rifle. As she noticed how Rin and Arthur were sprinting at her, Lara's armor began to shift around until it was the lightly-armored suit that she wore back at the casino, her shotgun having replaced the assault rifle in her hands. Firing off a round into the incoming concrete block, the resulting debris masks the immediate vicinity as Lara leaps up into the air...dodging Arthur's swing, but Rin's manages to catch her on the way up and dig into her right leg, leaving a small trail of red where Lara just stood. Now in the air, she aims directly downward and gets on her communicator. "Clover, I need you to attack the girl with the sword and the black-haired girl. I'll keep the earth bender busy." Lara turns off her communicator and fires 3 wide spread-shot slugs at Rin and Arthur as she uses the momentum to land back on the bridge directly next to Jose. She then aims her shotgun directly at his back and fires three rounds, hoping to keep him on the defensive. Haruko watches as the fight played out from her piece of cover, watching as Gen entered the massive doors and disappear from sight. She charges out of her cover and tosses three explosive knives at Lara...the mercenary dodging two of them but one exploding directly into her back. Strangely enough...the armor seemed to reform after the hole was created in it, almost as if it were organic in nature. --- Back at the casino, Sid watched as the group fought with the security lady and hot chick from earlier. "Seems like a real drag down there...but I guess I g-" Sid's thoughts were cut short when a hand tapped on his shoulder. Turning around, he sees what appears to be a little girl with extremely pale white skin, bright yellow eyes that seemed to stare right through him, long hair tied in pigtails on both sides of her head with the right side being pure white and the left jet black, and wearing a long black gothic-style dress. "I sense you wish to break the law as well. Do you plan to go down there?" She asks in a deadpan, almost robotic voice. Sid merely shrugs his shoulders and begins walking away. "Yeeeeep. Don't worry, I'm not going to make any trouble or wha-" Suddenly, Sid hears the sound of machinery and looks back to see the girl holding a massive minigun in her hands, holding it seemingly effortlessly even though it was nearly as tall as her. "Cease your action immediately." She states with the same monotone voice. Sid looked on in disbelief...and shrugged his shoulders. "Fine fine fine...I'll stick around here. Sheesh, what's with the big guns dude?" "...affirmative." And with that, the girl lets go of the gun as it folds back up into a small cube that she holds in her right hand as she goes back to patrolling the casino. "Yeeeeeeeah...I learned my lesson the last time I decided to fight a deadpan loli and got my legs broke at the top of a freezing mountain. Not gonna do that again." The lazy kickmaster says to himself as he watches the fight from his seat. He'll just run out when the killer goth isn't around.

Jose swings his arm down to parry the heavy paton aiming for his knee. As his forearm makes contact he winces for a brief second before needing to swap his head out of the way of the second swing. For a moment he didn't know what he could do to deal with this foe until he hears Fumi's whistle. Thanks to his terra senses, he quickly understands exactly what Fumi accomplished as he could no longer sense the rock behind Clover. He isn't sure how she manage to make the sudden hole, but he didn't need to. He swiftly drops towards the ground with an extremely deep stance and performs a spinning leg sweep with his back foot as he attempts to get his opponent off balance before quickly jumping up with his other foot, and strike again with a spinning back kick as he tries to push her into the hole.
At the same time, Jose pushes off with the help of his kick as he attempts to create some distance between them so he could be in a position to use his earth powers to pressure Clover even further. Yet before he could make another move against her, Lara lands behind him. He quickly adjusts his attention to the new threat and turns around. But before he could properly react, his chest is hit with shotgun slugs with enough force to launch Jose off the bridge. As he falls Lara will be able to notice him grasping at his chest. Clearly in immense pain, but still alive thanks to enhancing his body with even more KI right before the shots hit his chest.

Clover felt the floor drop away from beneath her and her heart dropped for the split second of free fall before she grabbed the edges of the hole. She looked up at Fumi, right before the hole, with some admiration. "Little shit. I like the wit." She reached out in an attempt to grab Fumi's ankle and toss her in the hole. "So no hard feelings, this is just business." Clover climbed out of the hole with ease, armor not slowing her in the slightest.
She looked over the edge to see Jose landing hard in a way that suggested he wasn't coming back up. "I can confirm a casualty. We have two in the moat." She told Lara before looking to Rin. Inexperienced. Time for a gamble. She took a swing with her baton at Gan, a casual backhand that wouldn't even kill a normal human. "Hey! You get the fuck away from her!" Clover waved her weapon at Rin. "Or I'll smash his skull!" She just needed to bait an attack, parry it with her buckler, and smash Rin's arm to disarm her.
"Hi Haruko." The enigmatic demon god appeared once more by her, not helping to fight at all. "So, have you got Sun or Moon yet? Are those even out in this timeline? I sometimes forget with you linears. Well anyway, I think it's pretty good. Calling for help is an annoying mechanic, but the new Pokémon are worth it. So, want me to make a rule? I could make it interesting. Like no friction. Or no gravity. Nobody else would fall off the bridge with that one!" He offered.
"Oh, for sure. Same thing all these guys are here for... well, sort of." The others were here to get beyond the wall. Huntsman just wanted everybody guarding it dead. He moved for the door but balked before passing through. "There's another still close. Not one of the three I've seen." Huntsman wasn't sure just what these things were, but they smelled distinct enough he could pick them out from everyday humans.
More carefully, he slipped out, spotting Sid standing still not far away. "Shouldn't you be at the gates?" Huntsman grumbled. He looked at the bridge. It looked like a real party down there. His eyes roamed, noticing the missing spots and the strange little girl not far away. "Really, is that what stopped you? Don't be a weakling, Sid. Just do this." Huntsman hissed, raising an arm that started to mutate right before Sid's eyes. A bony sort of dart formed while two bones sprang out the side, a piece of sinew between them taking the dart in. Huntsman sniffed the air and fired his makeshift crossbow, launching the harpoon with enough force to pierce a car door. He wasn't the best archer in the world, but she was practically point blank.
Dan heard the gunfire and saw Jose fall from the bridge. He didn't pause in his stride, continuing right onto the bridge. "Hi Haruko." He managed a weak smile for half a second as he passed. He stopped right besides where Jose had fallen and jumped. He was no diver, and his landing was clumsy, but it didn't matter. Jose was easy to find, directly underneath where he landed, and with such shallow water, there wasn't too much under to sink in. Dan dove and grabbed for him, attempting to drag him to the surface and shore.
Even Dan's muscles had some difficulty dealing with the layer of stone on the injured elemental, but he wasn't going to give up and let him drown. He pushed with all his might and felt his feet touch sandy ground mixed with stones. Digging in his souls, he ripped Jose right out of the water and onto shore. "Uh... say something. Please." Dan looked down at the injured man. Now what? He didn't know CPR!

First she was up top among the action, but the few precious seconds she needed to regain her breath proved to be a fatal mistake. The grab at her ankle caught her off guard and the girl that once stood was put a flume of curly hair dropping and disappearing down the hole she had made.
In her descent, Fumi did two things; one was a nearly silent scream as she eyed the water with fear, two was losing her breath in the scream. Dropped into the water, Fumi flailed immediately, fingers grasping for solidity that didn't exist in the bubbling, dirty water and she sucked in a breath out of fear and instinct, only to feel the water down her throat. This was bad, this was bad!! Fumi couldn't shift in this!! Her arms struggled in the thick water, legs kicking with no sense of direction, panic filling her chest as she struggled not to suck in more water; she was too heavy, her jacket and hair alone holding her down as they took on water.
Just barely, her hand managed to peek out from the water, a single grasp to feel the air cold against her hand, only to slip back into the water that was swallowing her whole. A pitiful breath left her, bubbles forming on the surface; all Fumi could do was helplessly struggle. Thoughts ran rampant in her head; was this really how she was going to go, why didn't she learn how to swim, would it hurt to drown, and worst of all..what would happen to her stuff?!
The sharp pain of her lungs giving signaled an end, mouth filling with water that had god knows what in it, and she felt her vision blurring with tears and the threat of oncoming unconsciousness. Why had she ever even helped this group?!
Atop the water, the bubbles grew less in frequency and a few items drifted upwards, floating aimlessly; a familiar wallet, handfuls of casino chips, and a white board with smudged writing.

Without much difficulty Chase could pick up on his friend's true intention, and smirks to himself as he finds his bloodlust amusing. Though more in a comedic sense, rather than actually being interested in seeing his companion going on a killing spree. As he prepares to walk out of the casino, Chase suddenly stops as he hears Huntsman's addressing Sid. Turning around his eyes quickly scan the lazy warrior, and could see see that the lad is reluctant to join in on the fighting. As Huntsman insults Sid, he couldn't help but think the guy's personality is stopping him more so than anything else. As he finishes judging the kickmaster's soul, he switches his focus to the girl with the massive pigtails.
Immediately he picks up on a unique condition with her current spiritual state. He isn't able to determine the significance, but he could tell that she is clearly abnormal. From what he could tell, her soul appears to be smaller and weaker than it should have been, yet it doesn't appear to be naturally in its current shape either. Perhaps something is forcing the soul to take on such a condense form, he thought to himself. Typically a soul could give him a sense of strength when it comes to an individual, but in this case there wasn't much to read from this person's spiritual wavelengths to hint at her combat prowess. If anything, her soul would suggest she is weaker than average, but clear common sense and his own instincts as a fighter dismiss that conclusion entirely. The only thing he could properly gather is the personality attach to the soul, or rather the lack of a personality outside an incredible strong sense of duty and loyalty.
"Huh," he mumbled to himself as it is rare for him to be unable to figure someone out base on their soul. Still he didn't really care to investigate the identity of this person. Especially since there is something more important that he wishes to know. However, before he could get a chance to ask if there was another bar nearby, Huntsman decided to attack.
Still grasping at his chest, the bounty hunter didn't even realized that he had hit the water as he is overwhelm by the immense pain emitting from his chest. It is only when he is pulled onto the shore by Dan that he starts to become aware of his change of location. Pushing himself up with the help of one hand, while the other continues to rub against his chest, Jose begins to curse in Spanish. After ranting for a couple of seconds, he finally begins to become aware of his rescuer's presence. As he continues to be afflicted by pain he manages to say, "Th..Thank...you." While taking deep breaths he waits for the pain to die down a bit before he attempts to stand up.

Two frostballs appeared in Arthur's hands and he threw them at the buckshot. The explosion of frost encased them in ice, but the superheated pellets managed to melt their way out and fall to the ground. While he was busy with that, two team members managed to get themselves thrown off of the bridge into the murky water below. Well, this was going swimmingly!
Arthur leapt off the side of the bridge, towards where Fumi splashed. He grabbed the girl's unconscious body and was about to go after Jose, but a pink blur already grabbed him and dragged him off towards the shore. Arthur decided to take a more direct route with the girl. Using an ice platform to propel himself upward, Arthur jumped out of the water like a missile. "Haruko, catch!" He made a slide out of ice and pushed the unconscious body toward the seamstress.
Finally, Arthur launched off an ice platform towards Clover like a bullet. He swung a frost enhanced fist towards the guard, releasing an explosion of frost if the punch connected.

Rin rolled out of the way, incapable of standing her ground to parry Lara’s scattershot. Once the Novice Warrior got back on her feet she was facing Clover. The guard had his weapon aimed at Gen’s back, threatening Rin so she wouldn’t act. This froze the youngest Shishioh, the sword on her hard shivering as her body, a jolt of fear hitting her brain. “Why did I bring him with me, I should’ve convinced him to stay back at Yuriko’s” The thought bounced inside her head, like an echo, feeling guilty for agreeing to bring Gen with her. She wanted to act but she was frozen by fear, yet she noticed something. Her brother usually would have reacted on his own to such a threat, even without Hidden skills Gen was a world class fighter, capable of taking at least some defensive action, but he was standing still, looking what lied beyond the door.
For Rin time was moving slowly, she could hear the beating of her heart as her eyes started picking up on faint details. Gen’s shoulder grew a bit wider, his muscles tightening under his suit. His neck became thicker, as if he was clenching his jaw. His closed fist trembled with could only be described as burning anger, so did his body. Rin couldn’t see her brother’s face, but she knew him and she knew when he was actually angry, he might seem brash and loud mouthed most of the time, but she knew when he was pissed off beyond control. Once again his fist glowed with golden energy, flames bursting from between his closed fingers. The golden fire engulfed Gen, like a physical manifestation of his fury and showcasing speed beyond human he turned around and aimed a wall busting blow towards Clover, who surely was kind of distracted by Arthur’s attack.
-YA FUCKIN’ MOTHERFUCKERS!- Gen roared, his eyes flooded with golden light. Her shock was replaced by dread, when she noticed that her brother’s arm was bloodied, small cuts appearing all over it and spurting blood as his body, as tough as it was couldn’t withstand the energy he was drawing from the medal. -GEN! NO!- Rin shouted trying in vain to reach the Hot-Blooded Boxer before his fist arrived at the intended point of impact.

“Dude I don’t think that’s a good i-” Sid’s sentence was soon cut off when the gothic girl in front of them gave one glance in Huntsman’s direction and quickly backflipped out of the way of the crossbow bolt. As her feet were in the air, a large blade emerged from the bottom of the girl’s right shoe and sliced the crossbow bolt in half before it could plunge itself into the wall. Once she landed, the mysterious girl stared at Huntsman with the same blank expression as before. “...hostile enemy detected. Increasing threat level.”
And with that, the girl took out a small silver cube from her belt and tossed it at the ground in front of her, Sid looking at it with suspicion and diving behind the bar just in time for the cube to erupt into flames, sending a shockwave across the casino that filled the area with smoke. Sid makes sure it was all over before peeking his head out from behind the bar...only to see that the gothic girl had vanished and the area was now covered in a thick layer of expanding smoke. “Real smooth, dude!” Sid called over to Huntsman as he rolled out from behind the bar and kicked the nearby window, sending glass sailing to the ground below as the kickmaster leaped off the ledge to escape the smoke and inevitable guard team that would arrive.
--- Bridge
Haruko watched as Arthur dove after the tiny woman from before and tossed the soaking thief at her before moving on to attack Clover. The seamstress quickly runs forward and catches Fumi before she hit the ground, being noticeably more heavy after absorbing water into her hair. “I can’t stick around…” Haruko says to herself as she watches the battle unfold around her. Spotting Jose and Dan, Haruko jumps down the hole created by Fumi and tosses two knives out from her coat that latch onto the underside of the bridge, swinging both of them to the section of shoreline that Jose and Dan were at.
“I’ll handle these two! You go help out the others, Dan.” Giving a reassuring nod, Haruko turned back and saw that Fumi was still conscious and breathing, and Jose was just trying to collect himself after the attack. “Do either of you need help?” She asks, looking past the two and seeing what appears to be a collection of random items floating on the water. “Does any of that belong to either of you, by chance?” What a strange collection of items...a white board? Why would someone carry one of those around?

“Lana! I need help! Get the icy guy off my back!” Clover raised her shield against the unknown threat instead. Always give an attack whose power you don’t know priority. The golden fist struck her shield and Clover was knocked back right across the hole in the bridge. She felt the blow in her arm, rattling her bones. She dropped hard on the other side, crashing down on her back. Her shield was still in front of her face, deep crack showing her the sky. It was looking at this crack that she started to laugh. The shield withdrew into her arm and her hood from earlier returned as her armor changed. “Well, that result wasn’t what I expected! Thanks Lana, I’ll take these kids from here.” Her plasma blades came to life and were soon the only things visible about her, dancing green flames held by a ghost as they approached Rin and Gen. “Don’t do that again.” She whispered as she threw one blade at Rin’s abdomen and lashed out the other for Gen’s exposed arm.
As Clover was dealing with Gen and Rin, Lara nodded her head at the request for help and dove in front of Arthur’s attack, firing off three rounds of scattershot ammunition point blank to try and throw him off course. Lara then attempts to roll out of the way of the fist...but the resulting explosion of ice sent several shards into her body that were only mildly softened by the thick kevlar-like armor she was wearing. After recovering from the hit, Lara takes out a small black grenade from her belt and pulls the pin out, tossing it directly at Arthur. The timer was set just short enough to blow up after 3 seconds, so waiting to swat it back would be disadvantageous. The grenade would blow up in a shower of shrapnel that would each contain a small electrical charge, shocking whomever was unfortunate enough to be hit by the shrapnel.

"Can't believe I let myself get shot so easily like that..." He slowly moves himself towards the softer parts of the ground, and begins to dig his hands into the earth, as he calls forth the terra energy nearby to assist his recovery process. Had it not been for his Ki, he would have ended up with a hole through his chest, but thankfully he will be able to walk this off...in a few minutes. Currently, the earth shaker is in too bad of a shape to be able to join the fight, and needs to rest a bit.
Chase somewhat annoyed addresses Huntsman, "You just couldn't help yourself. Though I suppose I've gotten us in worse situations than this..." He searches for a moment for the fragile soul of the goth chick, but couldn't pick up on her. Guess his companion's tactic worked, though knowing him, the guy must be somewhat disappointed by the result. Though truth be told, the soulless man is glad that the there is no longer any obstacles in his way. "Well, no use standing here. Let's go see what's going on behind those walls." He slowly walks out of the casino and towards the wall. He reaches into his pocket, to pull out what appears to be a strange, and bulky wooden pencil. He gently taps the bizarre pencil with his index finger, and suddenly the object expands and morphs into a thick 6 foot long wooden staff covered in thine vines.

-AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!- Gen screamed in pain after connecting the punch. His body, devoid of Ki or Fighting Spirit wasn’t strong enough to channel the power of a Gainen Medal without ill-effects. The attack was indeed powerful, but the recoil was more than enough to cause serious damage on his arm. His veins suddenly popped from the increased pressure, rupturing the skin from the inside and leaving a constellation of bloody stars drawn on his arm. Blood dripped down towards his hand, miraculously not broken, surely thanks to him being, even without Hidden World Powers, harder than the nails of coffin. Rin heard her brother’s shout and turned around, only to see how she was being targeted by an attack.
Rin was able to parry the attack, she was a nation-class level swordswoman even before unlocking her Ki and after having more than a couple fight to the death this wasn’t hard. Gen, still in shock by the immense pain didn’t even attempted to avoid the attack. -GEN!- Rin shouted as the green blade sliced the Former Spirit Boxer’s arm clean, right below the elbow. The Youngest Shishioh roared with sadness and anger as she unleashed a barrage of attacks at Clover, a continuous combo of sword slashes charged with her burning Ki, leaving intensely brilliant petals of blue energy with each attack. -You won't survive to see the next dawn!!!- Her rage blinded her, so she didn’t realize what was happening with Gen. The Former Spirit Boxer fell on his knees looking at his severed limb on the floor. The fingers of the hand were still closed around the medal. Between the creases between them Gen could see a faint radiance. -Fuck no.- He weakly whispered as the light of the medal shone ever brighter. -No ya fuckin’ piece of garbage.- The medal’s light moved into the severed hand, coursing underneath the skin, drawing golden roots extending towards the stump. The Young Brawler tried to stand up but his legs didn’t respond to his commands, to the point he used his healthy hand to punch his thigh trying to get a reaction. The light surged from the stump like vines of golden fire and grasped the other stump, the one still attached to Gen. The Former Spirit Boxer attempted in vain to wave his arm to sever this connection.
The golden flames pulled dragging the arm off the floor and connected it again to Gen’s body. -Godfuckin’dammit!!!- The Student of Reiji Fukuma cursed to the air as the same light that was inside his arm moments ago had moved up his arm burning as he heard his heart pounding 100 miles a minute. The blaze inside him, the drums of war calling to him. The flames filled up his eyes as his arm, and only his arm, up to the shoulder got covered by golden radiance until the light broke, as if it was glass, revealing an armor covering it. Black undersuit with golden plates over it, the shoulder covered it what seemed animal fur, like a lion mane. With burning golden blazes as eyes he lifted his left arm up above his head and a burst of pressure and wind surged from him, with golden light floating around him, surging from his arm.
FIERCE BATTLE: ARMORED HOST STAGE 1
Gen proclaimed with a voice clearly not his own as he charged forward to help Rin, unleashing a spinning backhand towards Clover. -It's time to fight! LET'S GO WILD!-

One moment, she was positive she was drowning. Water was breaking past her lips, threatening to fill her lungs until they burst...but then she wasn't!! Tugged from the water, a wet gurgle left the thief’s lips as she was tossed like a particularly heavy rag doll; only briefly as she aware of this though.
Caught within Haurko’s grasp, and then left to her own devices, Fumi turned her head to the side upon the bridge that was quickly becoming a battlefield...and immediately hurled out a small puddle of green water, retching in disgust as the foul liquid left her body.
Exhausted from her ordeal, the tired girl wondered if maybe, just maybe...she could get away with a nap here. Just a small break, enough to close her eyes and hope that wasn't some garbage she felt in the back of her throat…
However, it was amidst all the chaos, the delightful destruction of public property that Fumi was aware of something. As per usual, none had decided to take notice of her. Whether it be her size, unassuming presence, or the belief that she had been taken care of… Fumi now had a distraction.
Looking upwards up on the blue sky above, the small thief huffed a quiet sigh, gathering the disgusting saliva in her mouth before turning her head to the side to spit it out. No time like the present… Closing her eyes, giving a few deep, testing breaths, Fumi felt the deep, searing sting in her lungs and winced; shifting would be harder for a while until this pain stopped… but, she felt as if she had time with how preoccupied the two guards were fighting everyone else.
Sitting up in a lackadaisical manner, Fumi felt her heavy jacket shrug down to her shoulders, grunting quietly at its weight… She wasn't going to heft this around in shifting! With tired hands, she bundled her outerwear into a ball and, as if magic, it simply vanished in a puff of black smoke, leaving her in her simple outfit.
Pressing her forefinger and middle finger above her brow, Fumi gave a quick salute of parting to no one in particular. In her spot where but a disgusting puddle of vomitted water lay, a plume of smoke dispersed...then reappeared upon the other side of the door. With a quiet, internal hum, she made way to look upon cameras that might have been looking, shooting them a similar salute and then simply pressing her palm to the gated door, dragging her fingertips across the front. But...unfortunately...she wasn't through. This door was -thick-. With a click of distaste upon her teeth, Fumi felt the weight of her hair growing heavier… Bleh! She didn't want to carry around this scrap!
An adamant huff sent her soaked bangs from her face and, with a small twirl, arms giving a quick, unnecessary point of her index fingers, Fumi sent that annoying plume of smoke skyward...and contemplated her options for just a moment. It wasn't until she spied that familiar, emerald head that she remembered what had dropped her into that disgusting most in the first place…
The dark cloud hovered for only a moment longer before she gave a petulant flick of her wrist, sending a piece of shrapnel just her size towards the back of Clover. Truly, she didnt have any deep intentions to help...but if it meant getting even a taste of causing that woman irritation, then she would do it! Besides, she didn't want at least three layers of stupid metals.Now...whether or not the gravity would bring that directly on Clover, Fumi didn't know. For all she knew, it could have easily hit the two Shishioh!
