"So, a new challenger group, eh?"
Triela cocked her M1897, pulling a 12-gauge round into the chamber.
"I hope they're not one of those people who think we got here by chance again."
Rico was on top of a nearby building, loading modified 7N14 flechette rounds into magazines. Several armor-piercing versions were already readied. Her Dragunov lay propped against the concrete wall.
"I wonder if they use guns?" Angelica was inspecting her AUG, checking and rechecking the magazine and resighting the scope.
"Maybe they use both magic AND guns. Those are fun to play with." Henrietta had dismantled her P90, fitting a silencer and cleaning the deuterium-lit sights.
"I hope they get here soon. Should we call the rest of the team?"
"No, only if we have to."

So I'm here first. I'll wait for the others before we start. This is a team battle and I doubt I can get anywhere alone anyway.
Tsubasa remained as on guard as possible. Being a fresh 99th knight didn't help.

Kamin strolled in.
"Oh, hi, you must be the 90th Knight team, right? I've heard so much about you. Nice to meet you."
Kamin, following Tsubasa's example, sat around and waited.

Looking at the large message board in the middle of town, Venser signed his name next to the 100th Knight's. He wasn't exactly spoiling for a fight, but he had to make some progress somewhere.
Then he saw that his name was already on the board. He'd been signed up, along with the others, to take on the 90th Knight Team, who appeared to be based in Orlania.
Walking into the building that the address on the board had directed him to, Venser spotted Kamin and Tsubasa sitting around.
I might as well go join them.

Sierra trailed after Kamin, not wanting to get separated. The group was planning something dangerous again, and she wanted to be there to help.
There were two young girls wielding guns, much like the ones back at the Armory. The Undine shuddered.

Kyouko smelled a fight.
Well, actually she saw one.
The rabbit under her hat came out to sniff the air.
She positioned herself on a nearby rooftop, ready to test out her Dragunov. She spotted another one of them sitting opposite her. She would take her out first.
Wading into the future, she saw the happenings of a massive battle, on countless fronts.
If her opponents used guns, there was no way she would lose.

Constantine signed his name on the message board. The 90th knights, huh? A team...
He approached the battleground, nodded, and vanished into the shadows again. He hid himself in an alley, waiting.
4 girls with guns. They didn't emit any sort of visible magic, but they had the look of professional killers.
Unbidden, a memory floated to the surface.
SWORD agents gathered in his house. Each of them held an MP5. Then, they saw the weird boy.
He was in a black trenchcoat, sizzling with sparks. And he was armed with a glaive launcher. He threw his glaive, but it missed.
One of them moved to take him down within a second. His throat was slit in just as much time. Razor wire was everywhere.
He triggered the glaive. It flew along the razor wire, humming a deadly melody as it slashed and cut. The screams of the agents died off, finally. Blood coated everything.
And Constantine smiled.
He shook off the memory. These were just girls. He had dealt with much more before.
The voices sang in time with the whirling of his glaive, and his launcher sparkled with electricity. His silenced MP5 was hanging loose, ready to be used.
He was ready.

Sol, upon arriving at the area, quickly searches for a good hiding spot. He then arms his M12G1 and waits for the signal to start.
'Time to see what this thing can do'

Moridin arrived at the place.
Wow, that took a while, even with Finder.
The others were already waiting, and so he did just that as well.

I hope we don't have anyone underestimating anyone. She's on the offensive, hopefully going melee. So i guess here goes. The usual tactic again.
"Flans Paries Aerialis!"
Tsubasa then flew backwards 20m into the air. Her gun was already unlatched from her back.
I always wanted to snipe while flying.
Turning on semi-automatic, she started firing rounds at Triela.
Kamin better take this chance to blind her or do something.

This system of engagement truly is strange.
Venser sensed the intent to kill before the girl had even begun to tighten her finger on the trigger. Simultaneously, he created an identical illusion of himself, superimposing it over his position, and vanished from sight. The illusion would appear to collapse and die as the bullets hit it, buying him some time. Speaking of which, he had to get moving if he didn't want to meet the same fate as his body double.
The girl who'd been firing on him had been confident - too confident, in fact, to be working without cover. There had to be someone designated to protecting her from potential attackers. Who was it? A quick skim of the girl's mind provided him with what he need to know.
The person covering her - Angelica - her position - the roof of a nearby building - the weapon she was using - Steyr AUG - and her fighting style.
Dashing sideways out of the line of fire, he quickly moved behind the girl and dropped into a crouch, grabbing her neck and bringing his dagger over her jugular. He knew that Angelica was watching him - he was visible now that he'd made contact. He also knew that if she fired now, she'd hit the girl he was holding.
"No sudden moves and no one gets hurt. Don't take this the wrong way, but I need you out of the way for a while."

Sol created a 10x10x5 blacksteel wall to block the incoming AP round.
'So much for a good hiding spot...'
He then fire his M12G1 randomly at the opponents, hoping it'll hit.
'No time to aim..I got unlimited ammo anyways..'

This was going to be really easy.
Kyouko ripped off part of the building she was on, throwing it at subsonic speeds at her attacker.
The concrete wasn't streamlined, but it sure as hell was big, and it would easily deflect any bullets heading her way.
Her opponents might be able to dodge bullets, definitely, but she would like to see them dodge that.
Satsumura poised herself, ready to leap.

Kamin took a flying leap out of the range of the attack.
"Crap."
Gun pros were nothing to mess with.
"Sagitta Magica!" Twenty arrows of light shot out of Kamin's outstretched palm in a narrow hemisphere.
"Worsa ou Uns!" Kamin pulled out a sword of light, and dived down at the attacker, matching the speed of her arrows.

OoC || They are not conversing in the <> brackets. Those are merely an attempt at expressing team effort.
The Caucasian had a knife to Henrietta's throat.
<Henrietta, tango Charlie has attempted hostage situation.>
Rico: "Tango Delta is on the offensive. Recommend area watch. Oversized objects."
<Triela, tangos Alpha and Beta are airborne. Engaging. Recommend flank, tango Beta on offensive.>
<Angelica, engaging tangos Alpha and Beta.> Angelica fired several shots at Tsubasa and Kamin. <Rico, engaging tango Charlie. Henrietta, initiate defensive maneuver.> Rico turned, and fired a single shot aimed directly at Venser's head. She leapt off the building onto the next one. The building she was on crumbled, toppling sideways onto the building Kyouko was on.

Was that how she expected things to play out? Evading a huge ranged attack just by jumping onto the next building?
Unfortunately, she wasn't going to give this "Rico" a chance to fire that gun anymore.
Kyouko pullled off another huge chunk of the building with her, and leapt over the collapsing building.
People can't change direction in mid-air. Fact of life. A gun of that calibre wouldn't even serve as propulsion to one side. Her best shot would be a semi suicidal near grenade, and even then this battle would be near over.
Kyouko held the chunk of building in front of her, peering round it, she found that just as the future had said, she had matched Rico's angle of descent perfectly.
Now all that was left was-
Impact.

That was an expected reaction.
Tsubasa plunged back down to the ground, avoiding the bullets that were aimed for her while she was in the air. Mounting her Barrett, this time on the ground, Tsubasa started taking shots again.

Moridin quickly put up ward against bullets on himself, and quickly tossed twenty knives at Angelica's general location, as well as another 20 around him.
"I dare you to come closer," he said, almost to himself, preparing to undo on reflex.

Sol stopped him random firing.
'Bah..this is pointless..I ain't gonna hit anything at this rate..oh well time to test out mid-range combat with my nail gun..'
Sol threw his M12G1 and switch to his nail gun, he quickly rush toward Rico.

She's calm. Way too calm. Something's wrong.
With this realization, Venser ducked and rolled, slashing the back of Henrietta's right hand on his way down.
I need to get to cover.
Letting the momentum of his roll take him behind a nearby stack of wooden crates, he created an illusion of himself, running away from behind the crates. Foolish, considering that they were the only form of cover in the area, but he had to bank on the girls underestimating their opponents.
Are they going to take the bait?

Rico: "Tango Foxtrot engaging, requesting backup."
"Roger that."
A Stinger flew down from the sky, impacting the giant concrete block Kyouko was holding. By conservation of mass, it was not possible for her to maneuver herself in the air to avoid the missile.
[New member has joined the team: Petrushka]
Rico took a little hop off the side of the building, and with her pistol fired several rounds at the now-exposed flank of Kyouko. She landed and rolled, to find herself in the way of Sol.
Henrietta instinctively moved her hand to avoid the knife's sudden thrust, but it was slightly too late. Her second and last right finger were slit, but that was a matter to worry for later.
Rolling, she saw tango Charlie running behind the crate, and plucked a fragmentation grenade and tossed it over. He ran away from the crates, but that was expected - she fired several volleys at the running figure.
Triela pulled a bayonet blade out from her back coat pocket, and rushed in. She feinted and jumped over tango Alpha, and shot five shots into her on the way down. One bullet had struck her in the left abdomen, but that could be worried about later.
Angelica ducked under the concrete barricade to avoid the knives. She radioed in the coordinates.
"Roger."
The Stinger flew down from the sky again, impacting where tango Golf was.

Sol immediately open fire as Rico jumps onto the path infront of him, launching knives from the flank to aid the nails.

The battle started.
No one aimed for me.. why? Is it because I'm unarmed?[/b] But no time to think about that.
Sierra tested her water control. Since the battle with Shiki, water had responded a lot easier--especially the vapor.
She surrounded her body with a layer of liquid and then sent mist out to each of the hostiles.
"Blind them."
Like with Soap, mist blocked each gunner's vision, but this time, Sierra could control the mist.

I saw that coming. That and the next hundred thousand things you've planned to do, but never did. Not yet.
I'm not quite out of options, am I?
If the missile was homing on the concrete block, then...
Kyouko kicked the concrete block into the girl at nearly point blank range. If it didn't kill her (even though it should), it would knock her out for quite a while. As an added bonus, the missile would blast her into tiny bits. Her own teammate's. Team kill. So much for teamwork.
TAKE THIS.
Kyouko was thrown by the force of the kick into the side of the building, where there wasn't any foothold, but there was a strong enough base for her to jump onto her next target, which was...
This was starting to feel like normal circumstances on Earth again. No overpowered beings here with annoying abilities. Just her and her battle.
