New York Administration District, Fett Kath's Mansion
Kirika watched the proceedings from the sidelines. She was all smiles at first, the chaos in the ballroom serving as a proper comeuppance to her patrons' rather annoying habits. Sadly, the realization soon dawned on her that she actually had a job to do. Yes, she wasn't technically obliged to act until Fett Kath himself was in danger, but when the leading security bot was shot down, torn to pieces, and a explosion rocked the room...
Then, there was the Big Boy himself, going up to her, face red and expression absolutely livid. Worse yet, his spit almost made contact with her face! Her face that was reserved only for Oriko's touch! If it weren't for what he could do for her, she would-!
Ugh!
With a deep frown on the girl's face, her quick reflexes saving her from the disgusting man's equally disgusting bodily fluids, she took a step away from her employer and replied. "Fine!" With a magic powered leap, Kirika found herself standing at the edge of the broken window, overseeing the various newcomers as they commandeered new vehicles, or in Aestus' and the bear's case, take to the air. They just had to make it hard for her, didn't they?
New York Administration District, Parking Lot
For a moment, the Parking Lot was at peace. What remained of the mechanical forces backed off, their guns silenced as they distanced themselves from their targets and allowed them to get away. The Drones in the air, however, were another story entirely. The Airborne machines shadowed the intruders from a safe distance, the cameras in their underbelly flashing white against the night sky only to be lost amidst the colors of the city. The reason for why soon became clear as every billboard and digital device in the District showed pictures of the stolen cars and their drivers, soon replaced by a live feed of the action as-
Was- was that a betting pool on who would get crushed to death first?
It was indeed! And the amount of money being bet on the race was rather extravagant to put it lightly.
The once peaceful Drones that shadowed the newcomers zoomed past the vehicles, skimming mere inches away from crashing into them only to rise to the air once again in a spectacular display of avionics. Now in the air, once hidden compartments were revealed to express rapid firing gauss weapons that fired relentlessly on the ground. For those in the air, the hail of bullets were made to force them onto the ground.
The drones deliberately avoided shooting the vehicles themselves, instead preferring to corral them into a straight path. The reason why soon became clear as a building behind the stolen vehicles collapsed into rubble, revealing what could only be described as a road roller the size of a house. There was no room to dodge or turn.
The only path was forward, and as the realization set in and the mechanical monstrosity roared a hideous howl, the cheers of a invisible crowd filled the city.
Secrets of the Raven, Sayaka Miki
The Drinking Crow, Elizabeth's Room
Yes! YES YES YES!
Anything to get out of this wretched place! Now that all her companions were on board, never-mind their obvious discomfort, Sayaka's grin couldn't get any wider if she wanted it to. "Great!" The Magical Girl held Alice and Jackie's hands in hers, all but dragging them outside the room. Alas, her fun was rather short-lived when Elizabeth suddenly dumped a strange syringe thing in front of Sayaka, forcing her to let go of her shop-mates' hands and catch the object in question.
Before the girl could ask Elizabeth anything, the detective was off, gone like the wind.
A second passed.
Then two.
Then she just threw the Soul Catcher thing in the bed.
It was way too early to bother with things like that when they had breakfast and shopping to do! Now, to drag the others out of this dump...
