[color=fff200]“So…I guess there goes any element of surprise? I guess I’ll just have to start blasting, she is far more bold then she first appeared, I’ll give her that.”[/color] Giving a quick shake of her head as she had to focus on her own situation. Especially now that Marrie and thrown herself right into the fray, leaving Himiko to handle whatever came her way. [h1][/h1] Unfortunately for Himiko, the moment that Marrie made her move, the golden esper was quickly spotted out. [color=fff200]“Ahh shit….thats what I get for being a gold lover… I was hoping that would at least go after the two distractions first before they noticed me….”[/color] shaking her head at her own stupidity for having such a stand out appearance. Of course they noticed her, how wouldn’t they notice her with how much gold she had on display. In fact if she was honest with herself, she was surprised it took them even this long to spot her. [h1][/h1] The speed of the pale guards caught Himiko off guard as they burst from the sleeper cab of the truck. They moved far faster than she had anticipated or expected. She knew that the guy with the red skeletal hand was trouble, but she should have known he would have a surprise up his skeletal sleeve. It was clear that he kept them hidden away in case of an ambush, the leader was smarter then she had given him credit for. [color=fff200]“These bastards are faster and stronger than I thought they would be, now I wish Marrie stuck around….” [/color]Lamenting her departure as she hadn’t anticipated being singled out right off the bat. Especially not by three of what looked like the most dangerous of the cult. [h1][/h1] But she had a more pressing matter to attend to, she knew she should have taken out both revolvers. But the one she already had out would have to make do for now. She didn’t have time to yank the other one out as the pale guards were already nearly on top of her position. A piece of rebar being thrust towards her chest by one of her assailants. Himiko mustered up as much of her speed to try to side step it and get distance from the wall to her right to give herself more room to maneuver. [h1][/h1] Bringing her revolver around onto the pale guard in question, the fake gold of her revolver glinted as she swung its barrel onto target. She fired off two shots, one for the man's torso and the other for his head. If he was going to go for a killing blow she wasn’t about to hold back and aim for non lethal. [h1][/h1] With little time to spare, she tried to make some distance between herself and the pale guards, firing off two shots towards the one with the shopping cart and two more at the one who threw the haymaker earlier. Yanking her second revolver free, she tried to turn and run, not waiting to see what kind of effects her fire had, nor the effects of what the other Freelancer from the roof was attempting. Figuring it was better to be safe than sorry. Preferring to have some range between her and her enemy whenever possible. The last thing she wanted was to get into a close range melee brawl with these two heavy revolvers. Though if she really had too, they did make for useful clubs as a last resort. [color=fff200]"I know I said I didn't mind if we didn't take the more stealth approach, but I think I'm quickly regretting that..."[/color] Himiko complaining as she decided to take a glance over her shoulder to finally observe the aftermath.
