[h3]--Ambushed--[/h3]

[color=ff991c][b]"Cough! Mmmgh!"[/b][/color] Tears ran down her eyes as Valkyrie trusted her legs to carry her to wherever it'd be safe from the lachrymal assault. With not even a second to spare for observation, she could only hope that her lightning bolt of a melody did [i]something[/i] against those bastards. A moment later, she found herself inside one of the apartment rooms far away from her previous spot, the air here freed from any irritating white smoke. [color=ff991c][b]"Haaa..."[/b][/color] While her wincing eyes were still bloodshot and tearing up, she could at least get some fresh air and apparently, whether it was due to her esper form enhanced physique or the tear gas' subpar potency or both, her ocular faculty cleared up faster than she thought it'd be. 

This allowed the brunette to clear her mind and focus back on the mission at hand. She made a few grunts as she stood back up, went to the doorway, then peeked out into the hallway before turning her gaze toward the Precinct across the street. [color=ff991c][b]"Huh...?"[/b][/color] It was at this point that she noticed the mobsters who had been shooting at her suddenly stopped, they couldn't even be seen as a plume of opaque smoke blocked the window. It could mean many things, but the one prevailing theory would be that her lightning bolt snagged a few of them, then they realized that cover meant nothing against her so they decided to retreat out of sight, yep, makes sense. 

[color=ff991c][b]"Heh~"[/b][/color] She was doing quite well considering her odds, that lifted her spirits a little. Although... where's Wukong? Didn't Veronica say that she'll be assisting her? Shit... the monkey didn't get into trouble on the way here, right?

Valkyrie was about to report the situation when her gut warned her that [i]something[/i] was up, that inexplicable sixth sense humans have when an impending danger is near. [color=ff991c][b]"...?!"[/b][/color] However, it still wasn't enough as by the time she whipped about, there was an 80s reject psycho with a gas mask clad in a stolen EOD suit all up in her face. Merry's red-orange pupils constricted in immediate fight or flight instinct and judging by the movement of her trigger finger, it's firmly in the former. However, the hostile was restraining Teslic Gauss' barrel with her arm, then the ominous glint of a combat knife was caught by her peripheral vision-

-Merry didn't think, her body moved on its own as vein-patterned lightning surged down her [i]free[/i] left arm, her electrified hand splayed open-

[color=ff991c][b]"Kom deg vekk fra meg!!"[/b][/color]

[color=ff991c][b]BAM!![/b][/color]

A violent boom shook the air akin to a localized lightning strike as Valkyrie slammed said left palm into Viper's chest, the melody cast upon her via touch. If the move was successful, it should result in Viper's torso being paralyzed as her frame was thrown about ten feet back, then Valkyrie would aim the freed railgun and let loose as many sabots as she could at the neon-haired gangster, professionally aimed at her vitals.

If that failed through one way or another, well, getting stabbed was always an option.
