Gotta give credit where credit is due, Jill still could make an entrance. Even had a little one liner tee'd up and everything. But you couldn't subside on just sizzle, you needed to add a little steak to it.

All of these self-aggrandizing thoughts and more flooded Lucas mind as he ran even faster, kicking up pebbles while nearing the edge of the final building. A sizable gap separating him from the action. It was time to show these bozos how a real star entered the scene.

[colour=Yellow]"WAAAOOOH!"[/colour] Letting out a high pitched martial arts yell that only comes from watching too many movies, the shadow of Lucas sailed above Jill. Leaping right to the next building with his leg extended.

Jill had dealt with the Psycho Bitch holding the scythe, so Lucas collided with the Psycho Bitch holding the shield with his patented flying kick. The shield was certainly high tech and most assuredly sturdy, but Lucas' momentum, strength (and dashing good looks) hit it with enough force to send Oh-Four careening backwards. The sound of metal scraping against concrete as her feet skidded against the roof, complete with black scorch marks as he managed to barely keep her feet against the ground.

[colour=yellow]"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!?"[/colour]

Lucas stood up and adjusted his jacket, letting the dust fly off in a way that assuredly had to look [i]very[/i] cool. He grinned.

[colour=yellow]"Lucas Miller."[/colour]

Cracking his neck and shifting into his fighting stance, he gestured with his palm in a way that even machines understood the language of.

Bring it.

In the time it might take a person to inhale or blink, Voyt's revolver was removed from the holster under his shirt and aimed at Arianna's head.

He knew of her. Somewhat. Bird Girl. As he understood it, she wasn't much of a fighter. That she decided to face him alone meant she was either suicidally overconfident. Or, help was on the way.

[colour=Peru]"Yeah."[/colour] He said simply, cocking back the hammer of his gun for emphasis. No real point trying to hide it now. He'd been confident he could slip past Horizon Frontiers' "little birds", he very nearly did were it not for the intellect of his contractually stated allies.

[colour=Peru]"The people. The information. S'all in there. If you try fight me. Or, more accurately, I have to open your head right here and now? Those scared folk'll panic even more."[/colour] Eyes narrowing. [colour=Peru]"Which'd make it tough to get information it seems we're both after."[/colour]

[colour=Peru]"Likely, you got [i]pals[/i] on the way,"[/colour] he took the opinion that she wasn't stupid, if that assessment was incorrect, he'd find out momentarily, [colour=Peru]"But, until they get here? You're in a stand off."[/colour]

[colour=Peru]"Either lemme do my job, givin' your cohorts time to arrive. Or I drop you right now and get what I need anyway."[/colour]

His eyes glowed red. Power coursing through his veins and into his weapons as he internally charged a shot.

[colour=Peru]"Y'had me in your sights. Now you're in [b]mine[/b]. No matter how confident you're feelin', that's a bad place to be."[/colour]

The ball was in her court. Were it anyone else in MIRAGE they likely would've tried to kill her immediately, but Voyt really didn't feel like killing someone. He knew his skills well enough to know he'd be in and out before the cavalry could stop him.
