The moment Rurik's hand landed on top of her head all thought flowed away and she just kept running in whatever direction he pointed her in, blissfully unaware of anything including the giant wall that stood blocking her path. 

She was aware, dimly, of how Rurik had removed that particular obstacle but really the next thing she knew she was on the other side of the wall and Rurik had removed his hand just long enough to blow Brutus up into the air. Not wanting to be left out, Bak scrambled to raise he FLAK gun and fire off a few quick bursts, effectively juggling the poor boy before letting him tumble mercifully to the ground. 

"Awwww, I wanted to chase him a little more." She said, pouting as she looked up at Rurik. "He was the one I was most upset with."

It was at that moment she caught a handful of dirt to the face from the vigilante she hadn't even noticed. Bak shook her hear and stumbled back unsteadily. "Blegh. Plagh. Right into my mouth." 

When she finally managed to rub the dirt out of her eyes she looked around. "Ooooooh sneaky vigilante, where did you go? Were you wanting to play hide and seek? I am warning you, I am very good at this game."

This was getting really nostalgic, reminding her of the days of hunting the other children through the snowy forests around her village. They may have been faster, and able to climb over rocks and scurry up into the trees, but none had her persistence or stamina. Eventually she would run them down, tired and cold. Sometimes scared. Sometimes resolved to what was coming, like a whipping from their father. Sometimes they would have a fight. Others the fight had already happened, and one was left behind battered and bruised as a sacrifice to the the monster. 

It was fun and games like this that got Bak through the day back home, a welcome distraction. And, to make sure she won, Bak could cheat.

She flipped on her thermal vision, intent on finding the last Vigilant, but all she got was a fuzzy, jittery line of colors that warped and twisted the world until it almost make her sick. She scoffed and switched it off, looking over at where Brutus lay harmlessly on the ground. "You dumb vigilante, your zap has broken my camera. I am going to have to let [i]Luigi[/i] look at it now!"

She shot him a few more times for good measure, sending him bouncing on down the hallway and dotting the walls with shrapnel. "If I have to grow new backpack because of you....I swear, they ruin everything. Rurik, did you see direction last vigilante ran?"
