There was no time to explain everything, but she believed that the good doctor was familiar with the notion that even the best laid-out plans wouldn't survive first contact with the enemy. The flexibility to adapt to on-field conditions was an important skill to have for any field operatives worth their salt. [color=#ff991c][b]"Understood. Valkyrie, out."[/b][/color] Wukong would be joining, huh? Wonderful, she would appreciate any help she could get, she had this feeling at the back of her mind that she might have bitten more than that she could chew, but there's no place for hesitation on the battlefield. Focusing her sights on the Commissoner's Office's window from her vantage point, she could see that it had seen better days, certainly thanks to Leroux's seismic show. There was a safe though, could it be that it contain whatever these mobsters are looking for? [color=#ff991c][b]"...?!"[/b][/color] Nevertheless, she didn't have much time to ponder as it became painfully clear that King Cobra and his rhumba were already expecting her. [color=#ff991c][b]"Tch!"[/b][/color] The brunette esper immediately took cover under the window as no less than nine goons began firing at her, two of them heavily-armored and wielding military-grade weapons. [color=#ff991c][b]"Nnnngh!!"[/b][/color] She gritted her teeth as hails upon hails of bullets of all manner of calibers were being shot at her direction, causing a cacophony of those distinctive thunks of ballistic projectiles striking against concrete. [color=#ff991c][b]"Valkyrie reporting! The tangos have military arsenal! Will attempt to neutralize them! Over!"[/b][/color] Just as she was done shouting at the intercom, a peculiar 'bullet', fatter and rounder than the rest, flew into the window and bounced a few times against the hallway floor... before it spewed copious amount of thick white gas. [color=#ff991c][i]Fucking lachrymator grenade?![/i][/color] Alright, think fast, Sil, think fast, you either stay here and be suffocated while bawling your eyes out or move and risk getting shot, neither of those sounded good, but such was the reality. Regardless, she wasn't going to be bullied without a fight, but before she made her decision, there was one thing she must do first. [color=#ff991c][b]"Fuh..."[/b][/color] Holding her breath, her arms surged with orange sparks as they traveled from her limbs into her rifle, causing Teslic Gauss' coils to begin glowing with supernatural power. Her brows frowned deeply as she quickly rose from cover, aimed at the Armored LMG Mobster, then pulled the trigger... [color=#ff991c][b][i]BOOM!![/i][/b][/color] A literal bolt of orange lightning launched from the coils, reaching the speed of thousands of miles per [i]second[/i] in an instant. A destructive piercing melody cast through the beam note. It was aimed dead center at LMG Mobster's forehead, aiming to pierce through his helmet, cranium, and splatter his brain all over the office. If the Allfather's willing, it should continue traveling to hit whoever was behind the main target, grievously wounding if not outright neutralizing them. Wasting no time to examine the results of her melody, Valkyrie immediately bolted away from her position while covering her nose and mouth with one hand, trying her best to maneuver through the veritable storm of bullets! [color=#ff991c][b]"Wukong! Do something about that grenadier!"[/b][/color] [hr][center] 20 | Female | G.E.M.I.N.I. | The Faceless Teslic Gauss | Long Gun | Physical | Nibelung Valesti Northern Sentinel | Government Agent Electromagnetism | Lightning | Static Shock [Paralysis (4), Speedster (4)], Damage (2), Damage X (6), Push (2), Pull (2), Piercing (2), Bend (0) DAMAGE: B | SPEED: E | SENTINEL: C | Max Mana: 500 [Bronze Beam] [Damage X] [Piercing] = -112 Mana PHYSICAL: D | ARCANE: E | CHAOS: D | Current Mana: 324 [/center]
