Whether she always had the talent to be indifferent to 'justified' murder since birth, or twas' something she developed after the death of her little sister, or even a little bit of both, the truth wasn't clear, the esper herself might not even know the answer. Regardless, the same 'cold stare' could be seen the moment she fired those sabots at Viper's approximate location, yet in this particular case, that was not all, there was a dash of murderous intent in those wide-opened unblinking eyes, this was no longer about following orders, no, this was [i]personal.[/i] However, before she could assess the result of her last three shots, she found herself accosted yet again by another female esper, [color=ff991c][b]"Aaargh-?!"[/b][/color] A pained scream, half-surprised half-enraged came from her cords as Wukong tackled her, bringing both of them tumbling onto the ground. One could deduce that since they were coworkers, there should be a damn [i]good[/i] reason why Liliah dared to disrupt her viper hunting session, and that answer came two-fold in the form of an anti-materiel rifle round narrowly missing her back, smashing against lifeless concrete, then shortly followed by a rocket-propelled explosive, the latter fortunately veered off course by Wukong's storm melody, sending it careening up into the ceiling, exploding there. [color=ff991c][b]"...!"[/b][/color] Valkyrie gritted her teeth as her form was pebbled with bits of debris and dust. Right, Wukong just saved her life, she should be thankful for that. The brunette sighed harshly as she remained on the ground, catching her breath, it just dawned her that she had been holding it ever since Viper blinked away. [color=ff991c][b]"Thanks..."[/b][/color] Merry murmured begrudgingly, believing that she didn't manage to nab herself a viper. Not only that, some misty bullshit started filling up the hallway now, obviously arcane in nature as she could feel its effects even without breathing it in. Obviously, it's time to abandon ship. Standing up, [color=ff991c][b]"Wukong,"[/b][/color] Valkyrie addressed her comrade as she tapped the ginger's shoulder, a surge of orange sparks traveling from her arm to Liliah's body, a speedster melody delivered via touch, [color=ff991c][b]"[i]Fly[/i] us across the street, I'll take care of the tangos!"[/b][/color] With that done, she'd literally mount Wukong from behind, piggybacking her, the supernatural rifle rested against Liliah's right shoulder. This way, Wukong should be able to engage her Flight melody to soar out of the window toward the precinct with boosted speed, while Valkyrie could focus on aiming at the windows, taking out those three assholes the moment she could see even an inch of their heads. With only seconds to spare, there wasn't any time for brainstorming, she needed Liliah to trust her on this. If the maneuver was successful, there was no doubt that Valkyrie would unleash aerial justice through the three mobsters' heads the moment she saw them. One gauss sabot for each men.
