She looked around at the mysterious light as it melted like snow, falling to the ground and gathering in puddles before evaporating into nothing. What had that been? Who had done that? Had it been King? Was it some power of Alto's? Had the nun lady done it? No, that couldn't be. They hadn't been around. So who? Who had done that? As Bak pondered that question she could feel a steady [i]drip drip drip[/i] on her arm. She looked over to see her missile pod, still dripping the strange black substance from its opening. She tried to fire missiles again, just to see, and the thing actually shook violently and seemed to vomit up more of the stinking stuff all over her arm and the ground. She had done it? She had done it, hadn't she? How? Everything was quiet now, save for the breathing of those around them, but as she listened she picked out the groans and moans of the unlucky souls that hadn't made it out of the stands and the distant wail of sirens. The noises pulled her back out of her own head. She looked around. Rurik was there, where he fell. David was there, where he'd been thrown. Yuuto was there, where he'd been left. She was here, aga is the wall. Sparring David, they were all attempted murderers. Bak shoved her hands backwards, pushing herself back to her feet using the wall. There was no time to breath, they had to get away. Go, find Vittorio, find Celestine, leave, just get away before they found him. She clanked forward. She went to Yuuto first, collecting him and resetting him comfortably where he'd been before, then turned around to check David. "Are you all right David? Can you stand? Bah, this does not matter. You do not need to to." She said, lifiting him back into posion. After all, who knew how portals worked. Mayne she had to have everything just the same. "We will need to get away from this place. Back to park, da? I will get Rurik and we will leave before police arrive." She turned back towards where Rurik had fallen, now being stood over by three avenging angels. This would be the harder part. She had to get over there, gather him up, and then they could all leave. No point sneaking she walked quickly and semi-confident to the boy that had...saved her life... She's been so mad and desperate at the time that it hadn't really had a chance to sink it. Rurik had saved her life. He had been home free, dropped everything, rushed back, and risked his life to try and protect [u]her[/u]. She opened her mouth, trying to say something, but the only thing that came out was a quiet chocking noise as she tired to find the words. She couldn't move, stunned into inaction as she tried to sort out conflicting feelings that flooded into her small mind. Guilt, gratitude, rage, joy, confusion, it all bubbles together in a volatile witches brew in her stomach. She might have stayed that way for a while were it no5 for Nanaca's accident. The girl, who had been as instrumental in saving Rurik as Rurik had in saving Bak and David, suddenly was reduced to her drawers by a faulty wasteband and as the girl let out a shriek Bak cupped her face and screamed with her in sheer smypathetic mortification. It added one more feeling to the pile, but at least with this one she could make an inroad to resolving it. Without even thinking about what she was doing she reached out her hand to grab Kings collar. Then in one swift downward motion she stripped him to the waist and tossed half the ruined shirt to Nanaca. "Quickly, make yourself decent. You will be on television soon." She said earnestly. "At least you are not pervert like other girl I know, she would not care at all being fully naked on evening news." Wait, that reminded her of something. She spun back to King, getting a glimpse of her handiwork. She blushed deeply and focused on his face, only letting her eyes dip lower one, maybe two times tops. "Alien King. You will tell Brutus that we are not done until he apologizes." Wait, that reminded her of something else. Like a line of dominoes building up energy all her problems lines up in front of her and knocked down in turn. She turned her attention to Alto, pointed an accusatory finger at him, and gave him a look that packed more malice than a gun barrel. "You do not need to apologize, because I will never ever forgive you. You have greater evil to fight now, so stop bothering us!" With no other avenues she could pursue to distract her but just as amped up she reached down, slid her hands under his armpits, and lifted him up like you would a beloved cat. "Rurik, we are leaving now you village idiot." She said, her voicing starting to crack under the weight of furious gratitude."You have all done such good work today. Rest now. I will take over from here, you fool. You moron. Thank you!"
