Well, they didn't see that one coming, quite literally.

Once the half-dozen exhausted attackers saw that their targets had had the good mind to use sound fighting tactics against them, they decided that now really wasn't the time to be around anymore. Niko felt he was a little disappointed in the whole affair, and - at a guess - he doubted that he'd be seeing those men again. Not them, specifically, as their boss seemed the type to execute people for failure. He'd have to ask Wu Han about that. It was his den of assassins they came from, after all. Speaking of which, his battle partner asked how he was doing and Niko responded by spitting some blood on the ground nearby.

"About like that, but I'll be fine."

Wu's statement about police was a fair point, though to be fair, it was mainly to get out of needless amounts of statement-giving than anything else. They weren't in trouble with the authorities. Not unless the assassins paid off the police. It could happen. Okay, so maybe they were potentially in trouble. Han quickly searched the man's pockets - a good idea - while Niko kept a lookout for...well...anybody. Nothing yet, but the clock was ticking. When he pulled out a cellphone and offered it to him, he took it.

"I'm not bad, but I know someone who's better. Alot better. I'll explain on the way."

He pocketed the businessman's cellphone and, in short order, pulled out his own to get both a bearing on the nearest airport, check the time, and then started to make a call. He was already in motion to get moving towards said airport by the time the call went through. Han would probably then hear what sounded like an automated phone directory picking up. It would be a bit muffled, though, since they were now picking through the busy streets of the city. Niko had chosen a route of visibility to deter further brazen attacks on their person. He said the name "Mirai Saito, please.", and then was put on hold for a moment.

"C'mon... She usually works the late hours... Ah! Mirai! Hello! Listen, could I ask you for a favor, one that I will definitely pay you back on? ...no, it's not about the bike. Okay, so here's the deal. I'm in Hong Kong and I need a good jet out of here, two to West City, pronto."

There was a pause as the female voice was clearly pointing out that last-minute stuff like this was never easy to pull off.

"I know you can do it. Nothing fancy about the accommodations. Just speed. I've got a job that needs the very best, and you're on my short list. It's...it's to do with my folks, Mirai. Please."

There was another pause, as a much more chill voice seemed to give their ascent.

"Thank you. I'll make sure to buy some Capsules while I'm there."

He put the phone away, never stopping but glancing Wu's way to explain.

"I have a friend in Capsule Corp. She works at the central office in West City, so that's where we're going to get this thing cracked open. We should have a plane to get there by the time we reach the airport. We can probably get all the evidence we need, or get pointed in the right direction, once she has a few minutes alone with the guy's cell."
@Balthazar007 I found an interesting map.



Wanna use it?
@FalloutJack
Capsule Corp, which in this RP has become a world wide technological giant.


I thought that was already true.
@Balthazar007 @Double

Sorry, everything after my last comment was me being involved in {A} my Friday night session, {B} sleep, {C} feeding cat, and {D} more sleep.

Anyway, given that 'Get your ass to Mars' was partially my idea, I have nothing wrong with this.
I think Mister Two-Health should be capture-able. @Balthazar007

And I'm gonna say, something definitely wasn't right with that fight. It should've been easier than that.
Alright, that takes care of that much. Those two have NO defense, relying on speed to harass Wu, and that's not going to fly with the faster target.
This was going nowhere fast. These assassins were trained to give their all and leave nothing to last, even if it costed them their lives. If an assassin just barely managed to kill its target, but had no strength to move after, he could be expected to die in the streets with his target. That was how dedicated they were. Well, that wasn't acceptable to Niko Renzo. They had to expire first, if he had any say in it, and he most certainly did! But how? The best strategy, in his mind, was-

"Niko, duck!"

'That!' Niko ducked without delay, his military training kicking in at the same time as Wu Han's assassin training. Wu knew as he knew: They needed to switch up targets! The four that'd been set on Niko were like attack dogs. The two that were working on Han had been defensive walls, delaying the man instead of fighting him. No longer. The shield and the spear reversed, the next thing the two passive fighters would see was the mad-as-hell face of Niko Renzo...and his right hand doing something they never saw before, not even in the past few minutes.

Niko didn't realize this, Han probably didn't realize this, but those two assassins that hadn't been set upon their actual target had a problem. You would expect that, during this battle, they had seen the Tatsumaki-Ken in action. You would be wrong, though, because they couldn't have. The two men 'assaulting' Han had been protecting their eyes from blinding flashes. It was impossible for them to even know what was coming. Even if their compatriots had the chance to warn them, they might only get as far as "Hey's he's gonna-", and then it would've already happened. The fist blurred in an impossible fashion, and an expanding whirlwind blast would be what assaulted them without delay.

Yes, it IS the same attack as last turn, but it's far more sudden and they never saw it before, anyway.
@Double I was thinking something along similiar lines, yes. You go first, then.
@Double I rememeber this from the show.

Also: Relevant.
