Finally feeling the thrill of a fast combat again, bnc unleashes a dangerous series of code designed to overheat the weapons. bnc makes a dangerous mistake, however, and only rectifies it - heart thrumming - in the last heartbeat. Still, her deck indicates a dangerous level of hear. Not as dangerous as one of the opponents' main arm, however.

bnc felt the satisfying sizzling of a toasted smartlink system - only a second later the other weapon icon vanished from the matrix as well.

Just as Anna was reaching for the door handle, she felt a heavy impact right in front of her, leaving a relatively small hole in the rather thin plaster wall in front of her. Only then did the deafening sound of the large bore Auto Assault 16 hit her ears. A funny feeling had started to spread through her...

Through a warning by her spirit Anna narrowly dodged the bullet, she had no time to think about it - she opened the door and tried unsuccessfully to levitate the shiledman.

When the shooting started, Nova opened the door and decided to go for the guy with the shield, who seemed to be protecting the other mercenary.

She trained her rifle on him and fired.

The bullet pierced the edge of the shield and hit the merc somewhere on shoulder but didn't penetrate the man's armor.
He didn't seem to react to this, but Wraith's angel transmitted through his link to his master that the mercenary suddenly had become dual natured and his axe glowed with the intensity of an activated focus.

Those with eyes in the astral plane might have gotten a glimpse of the powerful spirit arriving in the corridor. The merc with the focus certainly did: he took a quick glance with his astral sight -
Just to find himself face to face with a very angry spirit, who welcomed the suddenly vulnerable opponent by flooding his mind with his most dreadful imaginations.

The mercenary recoiled suddenly but did not break, while Wraith received the message from his angel that another spirit had come out from the warded area.

Choosing between the man with an automatic shotgun and the one with an axe wasn't exactly easy. Sharkboy had to trust Nova with the medieval merc and went instead to aid Anna. Getting into a shootout with the auto-shotty seemed like a poor choice, so all there was do was bull-rush the man before he could react. Sharkboy bolted out through the door and towards the man with the shotgun, uncorking an elbow that feigned at the mercenary's chest before wrapping his arm around the shotgun in an attempt to pry it away from him.

Why let these guys have all the wiz toys.

Ignoring the door before him, Sharkboy charged with uncanny speed and was able to surprise both mercenaries while shouldering past the shield. The sling retaining the gun snapped audibly as the wrestler ripped the high powered auto shotgun from the man's cyberfingers. In a wide arc the gun sailed throught he air and landed next to Nova.

The only negative aspect on the whole situation was that he now found himself smack down right between the two mercs.

Wraith received the message that his angel had just been attacked by a powerful entity

Wraith cursed quite unholy as the link to his spiritual companion made him witness the barely evaded attack. Calm the frag down! No rushing in blindly - check the parametrers first.
With a nervous murmur, he used his magic to look for any hostile intentions in the area, be it the enemy's decker, other guards or arriving reinforcements.
"Lord, you know the hearts of all men - warn me of my enemies."

In the blink of an eye, Wraith felt the presence of three entities, harboring hostile feelings towards him and by extension likely to the group.
He knew of course that a mage could instinctively counterspell an active detection spell and so escape his attention. But for what it was worth, the three hostiles all seemed to be rather close to each other inside the corridor under assault.

Using her freshly forged second body, bnc waits for the perfect opportunity when flying bullets, screams and breaking walls mask her entering. She secures her stand with a climbing hook, then shatters the window with a short but forceful strike. When she pulls back her arm, she pushes away the black curtains that block her view, eagerly checking both Jame's and Nova's cam feeds.

Peeking inside, bnc could make out the small kitchen she remembered from her time in Linz - although the only appliance left was a soycaf machine on a small stool in the corner with an empty mug beneath. The door to the main room was only slightly ajar, letting a small sliver of dark red light spill into the kitchen. She could just make out the murmuring voice of an older man - a quite pleasant bass, likely a good singer.

Meanwhile in the corridor, the Merc who had just lost his gun wasn't happy about the affair. With a quite audible "Shing" sound a pair of cyber spurs extended from his cyberarms, ready to scewer the wrestler.

Anna dashed toward the stairs, trying to gain angle to blast the shield out of the man's hands. It was one big ass shield and they were not making any progress as long as he had it. Her bullet hit his hands, but not in a way that made the man drop the shield. At the same time, she commanded her spirit to join the fight. The young mage was reluctant given all that she received from spirits recently - but the man just shrugged a sniper gun hit as if it was nothing much. "Prefer sticking to astral threats before mundane ones." she instructed it with a thought.

Nova continued to fire at the merc with the shield, hoping to take him out at some point.

The shot was amazing, but the mercenary managed to deflect the bullet with his shield in such a fashion that it glanced harmlessly off into a wall.
But just as if the ghost of a bullet had hit him half a second later, his head whipped around as if he had been hit from an invisible fist.

Another blow made the man real, but he didn't go down.
In the blink of an eye he had dropped his axe into the sling on his wrist and pulled from a sheeth inside his shield a small object that he continued to throw in a precise and flowing movement towards the stairwell. The single red LED made it possible to follow it's flight quite accurately...

The spirits meanwhile saw his form become non-awakened again - appearing completely mundane...

Before the enemy spirit made their world go dark for a moment, filling the astral with terror...

Anna dashed toward the melee fight which seemed to be the best place to avoid grenades "Unless these assholes are crazy enough to blow themselves up." she thought.

The grenade hit precisely behind the doorstep and exploded into a cloud of gas. Nova stood at it's center, while Anna only felt the tiniest bit of wet spray upon her bare neck. Immediately a numb sensation began to spread through her exposed skin.

From his rather safe distance, Wraith felt the tide turn with the all-out terrific assault of the enemy spirit and the grenade captured by Nova's guncam.
Being too far away to be of any use, he closed his eyes to open his link to the spiritual world and ask another follower for help.
I call upon you in my time of need: Aid my friends against these evil-doers!
"A spirit is joining - friendly, don't engage it!"

[ Spoiler ]
Inside the corridor, a sudden cold announced the spirit's presence. Sharkboy and the two guards could feel an immenent chill in the air, as if standing close to a block of ice. Hovering right under the ceiling, a translucent, misty apparition was appearing: humanoid, with a glacier-blue teint, radiating an aura of uncomfortable cold.

Sharkboy managed to get a grip on the mercenary with the cyberarms and cyberspurs and tried to throw him into his chummer. Unfortunately, the guy knew something about not getting subdued in that fashion and remained standing where he was.

Meanwhile inside the flat, bnc moved forward to the door to take a look inside.
The first thing she saw was an expensive looking rug that certainly hadn't come with the flat: For one it looked like real wool and also there were a lot of arcane symbols painted on it in a circle. Around it she saw 4 massive statues, seemingly made from concrete, facing outward. The statues had an eerie look about them. Pulling just a little on the door to get a better look, she got a glimpse of a sitting figure in the middle of the circle. An elf with his eyes closed.
But that view was suddenly blocked from a massive figure, seemingly made from liquid metal and glowing red eyes, carrying a massive looking, two handed sword - looking surprised at James.

Sharkboy ducked under and incoming blow from the suddenly well-armed mans stabs and brought himself in close with the mercenary. Sharkboy grabbed a bit of the mercenary's uniform and tied up their legs to bring him into a clinch. He then shifted his weight and tried to bring the mercenary up over his head into position for a Great White Slam that would send Assault into Battery and both of them tumbling into their own gas grenade but the mercenary slipped from his grip and slid back down.

They were right back where they started.

Frag!!

Gasping, bnc activates the gun port in James' neck and through it fires at the chanting mage, unleashing a well-aimed but desperate burst of rounds.
