He wasn’t entirely sure on the physics of the situation, but somehow the pipe had caught his explosive in mid-air, some remarkably quick thinking from his opponent, all things considered. Using her technology to avoid his attacks had its downside however, as she would soon learn, as he had learned roughly how she detected and avoided his attack. This time, when the real attack came, she would have a much harder time.

Almost negligently, he raised his hand and detonated the grenade inside the pipe, long before it reached him. Due to the speed with which he himself had reacted, he also caught sight of his opponent darting rightward towards him and his left hand side. He turned to keep track of her, ensuring she remained directly in front as he decided on his next move. The pistol was still whirring away in his right hand, trained on her movements between pillars and other technological obstructions. However, the real threat remained in his left hand, now only holding the one explosive he was more than happy to show her their real potential. With a twitch, the grenade popped open along the middle, to reveal a circular blade ringing its outside. He watched her passage across the room, and judged her but twenty feet away from him, easily reached. With a more powerful and straighter throw than before, he launched his grenade like a discus directly at the spot she would be in no more than a second later. However, this time he had effected the grenade, making its trajectory far more difficult for her technology to detect using his Technomancy. When she relied on her other senses on their own, she was in for an unhealthy surprise, as he could manipulate the grenade’s trajectory in mid-air using his magic, ensuring it exploded within a few feet of her, unless she had something more powerful to protect herself with.

Meanwhile, the clock struck two, as his pistol reached its second level of charging after a full ten seconds had elapsed. He watched intently, keenly aware that time was ticking away for the Mystan’s above. They could not survive against the swarms of Broken One’s forever, and more importantly, this foe may not be alone.
