The Final Hazard

Before Amelie had any time to consider her escape-plan, the knight that had been in the limousine with her knocked her aside, causing Amelie to stumble out of the way. The arrow shattered over armor, Amelie wide-eyed seeing this happen, knowing what that did. However, that was far from the highest of her worries as two drops fell and hit the front of her shirt.

‘NO…!’ She cried out, knowing what that could do. Her hands quickly grabbed to the left and right of the round spot on her white shirt and pulled forcefully outwards. Amelie knew she wouldn’t be able to get the clothing off in time, so all she could do would be to distance it from her chest before the spikes came, if she could. The girl completely expected to be thoroughly impaled…

… However, as the spikes thrust out, they were a meager half-inches long. If she had been able to pull on her shirt in time, it was definitely elastic enough to prevent her from being injured, although her shirt now had a very uncomfortable set of spikes on the inside pointing at her chest. Amelie didn’t have anything else to wear, which made this extremely awkward as she had to hold her shirt to prevent the spikes on it from sticking into her, but compared to losing her life it was fairly lenient.

The knight who had saved her, however… Fortune…

He was fine. He was completely fine.

‘Th-thank you…’ Amelie uttered before turning her attention back to the action. It was time to do something good with the life that had been spared. Amelie had to partake in the battle that was going on, and she knew exactly how. She didn’t know what Luca was doing with yelling out about biometric pass or whatever, but she had to bet on that it wasn’t going to work. If it did, good, honestly. If it didn’t…

The male knight that was still stunned after Donny had fired at him. She could prevent him from partaking in the battle. Amelie took steps towards him, keeping her distance from the combat between Donny and Hiecro. As soon as she could, she formed a Redirection Orb, right around him. It would be in place in a second. If she caught him, he’d be Lost. Moving his legs would allow her to redirect them to standing still in place. Moving his arms and the movement energy would be redirected to being held squarely at his sides. No reloading or firing that crossbow. He’d still be able to talk, but any movement of the body would be redirected to standing still and straight as a stick in the middle.

Amelie couldn’t do much, but at least neutralize one opponent. If she managed to catch him, she’d search with her legs to see if she could recover the submachine-gun she had put down earlier, not letting go of the man with her eyes. Her eyes would be the one thing keeping him in place, as she glared with shaking hands holding her shirt with spikes on it stretched before her constantly.

@Cruallassar … In case she had fallen over because there doesn’t appear to be anyone else than Amelie and Fortune that could qualify as “down” or “fallen”, Amelie still would have grabbed her shirt and pulled it to save her chest from impalement and Fortune would still be completely fine, even if he’s fallen over for some reason. Amelie then got up to her feet and done the above described. Stepping by the shield meant to protect her to get in range of the male knight if so needed. Regardless, Amelie and Fortune were not down in any way. It may simply have appeared so to Kael, for whatever reason.

@Pikmin Eye Funny you use that exact example, because I distinctly remember in the first episode Ash encounters a Snorlax he throws the Pokéball and it's enveloped by the stomach-fat of Snorlax's belly before being promptly spit out, ineffective. XD

Though, yeah, that was likely just anime-shenanigans. I got this handled. Thanks for the input, though. Teh-heh.

@Eklispe Yupp, that's a course of action. ... Hm, Did I not type out that the girl had hurriedly thrust the potions into his hands upon the Amethysts showing up? ... Well, hah, it was pretty clear that was what happened, anyway. Nicely posted.

@Pikmin Eye Alright. Nicely posted. ... Hm. Now that makes me wonder about the sturdiness of the bulb on Bulbasaur's back. Is it going to act like a leaf, bending upon impact and absorbing the force? Or is it, like, super-sturdy to the degree something can bounce on it? Does Pokéballs still work properly if they don't hit a tough surface? Hahahaha. Questions for me to answer.

@Joshua Tamashii Oh, my. Heh. Nicely posted, but I'm going to have to ask you if you say this anywhere near Laurinda or, like, intentionally said this out of her hearing range, or if it didn't matter. Because, this is going to matter. Haha.

... *snicker* You want to find a Shiny, huh? ... Well. We'll see.

And that's about that, I'm back. I'll attempt posting tomorrow. Which likely means in about 34-37 hours right now.

@Delta44@Pyromaniacwolf Hey, how's it going?

TTL: The Final Hazard OOC

I'm back! ... And I appear to be still alive, if maybe slightly in pain. Thank you, @Bright_Ops. ... ... ... ... ... Though, seeing how I have a ton of lives, maybe creating the kind of character others would move to protect rather than the kind to move into the line of fire was... questionable. Oh, well. Things you think of way later. Hah.

... If ANYONE had reacted to that second "if", Kael would have died. It only needed one out of six. Hah. Oh, well.

As for the knight, I will assume that because there existed no knights with visors, one appeared. ... Maybe. Well, at the very least, she was killed immediately so we're not fighting an additional enemy. XD

The Final Hazard

What they were talking about sounded dangerous. Why would something need to help against Leona? Amelie frowned as she kept attention to each person that they were currently talking to, just in case-

Amelie reacted instinctively. What the knight said to Kael just before firing tipped her off and she was able to manifest a Redirection Orb in time. She turned wide-eyed in confusion as she reached forward, making it obvious she was the one creating the Redirection Orb in front of Kael. The orb took the arrow and sent it crashing into an adjacent building. She didn't understand why he had been fired upon, while she didn't trust the two police it still felt like it came out of nowhere. While she had a lot of questions, she did not get any time to ask them.

From the corner of her eye she noted Hiecro turning for her. She didn't have the time to manifest a new Redirection Orb. With no other counter-plan available to her, she'd try to throw herself aside, if she at all got the time to react. If she was hit... then if the impact was magical, it'd go straight through her defensive wards. If the impact was physical, her wards would take a blow but likely save her at least this once, yet any magical effect may still take root. Then she'd likely be screaming and rolling trying to save herself from immediate doom. Likely without it working.

If she was somehow successful in surviving, then she'd spin around to face them and raise a Redirection Orb around herself where she lay, terrified and confused, eyeing the knights while shaking in fright.

Well. Shit. I assumed he was referring to those that already were dead with "three". As in the three original opponents. Not minding the fact that they duplicated. Eh. What the.

I guess I'll spend five minutes making a post since I won't be able to after. Due to limited time, there likely won't be any clever plots. Hah.

Edit: There. ... NOW I can turn unavailable for three days. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... And quite possibly a whole lot longer. Hahahahahaha.

TTL: The Final Hazard OOC

So, I'm going to be without my computer for three days because of family things. If I'm tagged in a couple of hours, I'm going to need to manage some considerable acrobatics in order to get a post out. Like, write it all on my mobile phone. ... Terrible thought. Hah.

Oh, damn, what an error I just realized I made. ... ... ... Oh, well. I'm writing this at three AM. Desperate times calls for desperate circumstances...

The Final Hazard

… Why would she want to go to the School of Engineering? She’s a magician. What’s the “SNAFU”? Questions which Amelie didn’t know if she dared to ask, yet they swimmed around her mind, right alongside “can police really kill like that without consequences!?”

Amelie would not be the first to rise. In fact, as each person rose, she kept ready to summon a Redirection Orb each time, just in case something happened. First after that was she willing to stand up herself, and then only when she was ready to summon an orb around herself just in case. But, if nothing happened then no orbs were created. It was true that since she hadn’t manifested the orbs she they might not be created fast enough if something did happen, but actually creating them may tip off the police, so she preferred not to.

She listened to the questions the rest had and the answers that would be given, but otherwise Amelie followed the orders of the police assuming it was the expected ones. Like, get in the car, ride with us, such things.

@Joshua Tamashii I believe I can. Haha.

@Rune_Alchemist Oh. Haha.

Well, I won't have my computer for the next three days, soooooooooooo yeah. It evens out. XD

Pokémon: Start

@Pink Madness Thank you~ Very happy to see that~ Nicely posted~

@Pikmin Eye ... Your part actually took the longest to write. I didn't quite agree with myself. But, heck. Here we are! XD

@Joshua Tamashii I was kind of wondering if someone would be coming this deep into the woods on their first visit, somehow... Claire came close, but... heh... Well... Welcome... Haha...

@Rune_Alchemist Yupp. I just had Yvonne discussing what she wanted in the immediate future. You're free to do whatever you like, now. Haha.

@Eklispe I am so happy I got to write that. XD

@Pink Madness And of course, now you're free again to do whatever you like. Alone in the midst of the Wet Caverns. Yupp. Haha.

Edit: I will note that you all still have the options of the menus I had earlier, I just felt you didn't necessarily need them right now because the options are obvious. But, if you want them, I can edit them in. Haha.
