At once the heavily armored merc rose up in the air, dangling three meters in front of Anna in the air. Blood dripping from his mouth with shattered teeth showing, the man just grunted, raised his rifle and once again triggered the grenade launcher aiming at the window sill in front of Anna.
The explosion rocked the whole scaffolding, blowing away the walkway up and below, sending the little flying drone tumbling away in the blast and - after half a second or so making the whole construction on this side of the house lean away from the wall while construcion material and pieces of said wall began to rain to the ground. |

With her augmented agility, Anna is superhuman fast, she tumbles down the scaffold reaching a safe distance before watching the entire thing collapses.
Luckily the house was vacant, as that kind of firepower meant troubles. Knowing the limitations of her spell, she tries to keep the line of sight of assault to not lose the advantage. She tried the spell multiple times so far and was happy that it finally worked, the only remaining problem was the mage, but so far her spirit has kept him occupied. Though, her main goal is to stay alive. [ Spoiler ]

Wraith had been prepared to hurl a spell at the mage's astral form - to his surprise, he found none. Where did he go?
This was magic far beyond his understanding... |

bnJames leaps out of the window and lands in an elegant crouch. In a fluent motion, she moves on, catches the broken drone on its way tumbling down to the ground, and jogs towards the approaching van. On her way, she opens an ARO control to open the big side door and vanishes inside the armored car.
"Time to leave, bunnies." [ Spoiler ]

Meanwhile up, two floors above, one of the guardian spirits caught up with Anna's spirit and once again sent out a psychic assault, incuding mindless fear within the lower ranking spirit.
The other guardian wasn't far behind, doing the same, albeit with a lesser intensity to Wraith's Spirit. The angel proved to be a match for the dread power. |

Anna's spirit runs off to her focal point of safety, toward Anna. Apologizing "I have done all I can do, but I was no match for the mage and his spirits."

Meanwhile, Anna's momentary distraction caused the mercenary to fall to the ground. Large pieces of wall and scaffolding hit the ground only fractions of a second later, but the huge beast of a man-machine managed to roll around, get to his feat and sprint away. While he did so, he hit with the flat palm of his hand one of the grenades on his belt. Immediately he began to be swallowed by a thick cloud of white fog, that spread in every direction.

Where are you, fragger?
Feeling that he could not rely on his own astral sight, Wraith turned to the one thing he always relied on: his god-given magic. He hastingly weaved a spell to locate the fleeing mage, only to find a foreign magic power interfere with his casting - He had lost his conentration for a crucial moment and the spell failed Focus, Raph! He stoicly started over and began the spell anew, feeling an annoying headache kicking in as conducting too much mojo in too little time started to take its toll. [ Spoiler ]

Suddenly Wraith could feel another signal - but that one came about 15 m from below and 10m to the south and was rapidly moving away in a southern direction.

Anna runs, after Assult "Why am I running after him?" she thinks, but almost automatically she magically flings a grenade to clear the smoke and then establish a line of sight she needs to levitate Assault again. "Got you! now please don't kill me." she thought as she became selfaware that she actually runs after that invunerable metal man.

Hopefully he doesn't turn a corner
Sharkboy moved back to the window has he unhooked the bow from his back, nocking a stick-n-shock static shaft arrow. [ Spoiler ]

Nova, after having retreated back into the flat to take cover from the grenade, moved to the window again. Seeing Assault hovering near the dispersing smoke, she trained her rifle at him once more and fired.

The shot hit true and finally the merc stopped moving.

"Anna, into the van with him!", bnc yells over the group channel.
"And yourself", she adds. |

Nova saw the man collapse into a lump while floating in the air, then turned to Sharkboy, who was standing right next to her.
"You help her, I'll get a quick look-around and get the other guy down. Ok?" |

Anna slowly levitated the man closer to her, planning to stabilize the man and then take him to the van. He was not very useful dead - unless they wanted to get into the used cyberware department, but that was a bit too evil to Anna. She did not want him dead but had a creeping feeling that her colleagues would not let him live.
>> bnc, on my way but levitation is slow, can you get to me? |

"on the move"
bnc distractedly moves the van over to the flying Assault while flipping a switch of her deck configurator, maximizing the data processing power of her gear. She then runs her most powerful search program to locate Eliza's enemy. |

It didn't take long to locate Eliza. Her avatar had her computerized face and looked otherwise like some kind of old fashioned school teacher or headmistress. She used a ruler to parry the attacks of a persona, that looked very much like the liquid metal terminator from that 80 year old flick. Both were fighting very defensively. Just as Eliza attacked again, hitting the metal man with a rubber stamp, the metal dissolved and vanished from view.
Eliza turned to bnc: <<The decker learned from his previous encounter with me. He tries to goad me into frontal attacks so I would hurt myself. But whenever I MARK him, he scrubs himself and vanishes from sight.>> Meanhwile, Wraith and his spirit observed how the two guardian spirits just left the astral and vanished as well. |

Before Wraith could issue a new command, his spiritual follower dashed downwards to the lowest level of the building, where it looked a trace of the runaway mage.

The spirit dashed into the cellar but found it's way blocked after 13 m by the solid ground of the compacted earth.
It took a few moments before it reported back: "He must have fled through one of the many pipes that go down through this building. My astral form is to large to fit through them into the ground." |

Anna touches the merc, and cast the stabilize spell saying "Easy tiger, we only want to talk.". Spell over, and man stabilized she navigate him through the door of the van and then follows herself inside. Her face is glowing, and she feels excited and alive. She orders the spirit to clean up the astral signatures from the battlefield, and heartfully thanks her"Thank you, friend, your commitment was heart touching. You are always welcome to visit me. As the last service I'd ask you to erase the signs of my magic from the battlefield and then you are free. I... will miss you. "

Nova moved back into the appartement to have a look-around. Maybe there were any clues left by the mage, that would help them in some way.

Nova looked around the still smoldering - and in some cases actually burning appartment. There had been chalk markings as well as something that looked like strewn about herbs on the floor. The mercenary had left the bag behind from which he had taken the AK. Inside were a few more grenades as well as a sealed plastic container with the dimensions of 40x30x20 cm³ with a "Warning, do not open" sticker on it. The container felt heavy and seemed to have been sealed with some kind of wax along the metallic edges.
Otherwise there still lied the enormous Naginata on the ground as well as the mage's clothes - a well tailored suit, covered with funny looking symbols and sewn on wire forms. It's pockets were empty safe for a saphire knife and an expensive looking commlink from Transsy. |

bnc shuts down a prog or two to create processing power to launch an attack. To her surprise, apparently the enemy hacker didn't reckon with a straight-forward data spike. With all the moving and evading, he completely missed the fist of powerful code right into his face. The icon vanishes immediately.
(@Eliza) "Hope I di'nt spoil your fight, ma'am. Do you wanna drive the van yourself or shall I?" (@Team) "How's that tough foramen culi? Need a hand? Don't cast a Heal spell 'fore I'm done with him, baby girl" |
