Rien sat chilling on the top of the pole, hearing Blaster's loud shriek distorting a very intimidating sound. This was a ploy he was all too familiar with from the last cycle, luckily he brought ear plugs this time. Of all the collector's he was not expecting, Blast and Topsy BOTH simultaneously engaged first. The lackadaisical collector looked down at the alley catching note of the falling billboard over Topsy's head. He stooped over the edge of the pole and brought both of his hands together to form the semblance of a gun.
"Bang!"
Sending a pressurized paper-plane shooting at the speed of a steam releasing from a valve. It was about the size of a normal poster board cut out. Reaching the debris in about six to seven second, he dispersed the paper plane into several smaller pieces of paper petals, super sharpened, to scatter and cut apart the steel of the billboard until it literally looked like it was disintegrating above Topsy's head.
"Sync, go to the hotel and cut'em off on the second floor. I'm going after the last one there" Rien said as he jumped from the pole and lifted his arms up to reveal a paper para-glider. Leaving quickly, gliding steadfast towards the woman with the body suit who was the remaining one out of the group.
In his descent as he broke street level from the far distance he was away, he created a wall with his body just as a young boy darted past with a young girl and her dog, he leveled the street and created a crater from the impact of his drop. Shooting up paper spiked stalagmites forming a wall between the intersection of the alley and the hotel. Looking as if all but one of them successfully made it inside, the other collector's would go after those that made it. As he stood up, he rubbed his neck and sighed, looking at who was easily the oldest woman of the group.
"Yo." Rien said probably as about as naturally and nonchalantly as he could manage.
He looked up briefly as if waiting on a cue from Topsy or blaster, he had a feeling that Blaster would stay and Topsy would do one of two thing. Cast a major spell and retreat to the hamburger stand, or give chase to the hotel fragments. Either way, Rien was now looking at the light of explosions and fire from Topsy's orbs from earlier hitting the ground, a shroud of smoke was all that was behind them in the alley now.
"You've got questions, I know ya do. Well it'll have to wait, if you can deal with my static, i'll release the blockade for ya. How's that sound? Cool? COOL!"
Rien gave a quick flick of his wrist, throwing down some paper talismans, a loud buzzing noise was rampantly shrieking as the sound amplified. From the ground emerged animalistic shaped figures, their skin was dense and tough. Relatively descent in size, they were small humming birds, flapping their wings creating an awful torrent of sound. He'd easily created about twelve of them, they were darting around like a blade cutting through air, there was a car on the street just to the right of the entrance of the alley, sending two of his humming birds towards it to give them a little demo, they smacked into the side with a loud thud, creating a dent the size of a basketball. So yeah, they were pretty physically strong if they couldn't tell.
"THREE. TWO. ONE. Yeah yeah...GO!"
------------------
Sound broke through the lobby, it began to quickly fill with footsteps. Jeane quickly turned her head in response to the first three that emerged. The sounds of their breaths were familiar, voices, belonging to a good number of the group. In the short seconds that past, she could also hear Shiro and Ally, and two other sets of footsteps. She could clearly see them in red, she wanted to say Anna and her dog. Having an even bigger handicap than Jeane herself, it was still a relief that, most of their group was retained.
"Is that everyone?"
"Three of the girls are still outside. We're still missing the girl in the body suit, I think she was the oldest? What was her name again...she had that weird lightsaber too."
"What?? We gotta-" As Jeane turned to the door, the was a loud thundering crash outside and the line of sight to the alley was cut off by what looked like a wall.
"Holy shit! What was that??" Dexter said as the lobby shook briefly, and after the dust cleared outside there was most definitely a wall there.
"Looks like Rainee is cut off...what are we going to do?"
"Honestly...I don't know, but she seemed like she was the most stable out of all of us. I think she's gonna be ok, for now, everyone's seen the memory map app thing from the text right? Lets work on getting to the 7th floor for now." Dexter said looking at the elevator in the middle of the lobby just beyond the service desk. "Something tells me...actually clearing floors isn't gonna be a cut and dry experience, just a bad feeling..."
"We can't use the elevator..."
As Dexter was about to touch the door
"Stop!" Jeane yelled at him, for the nth time today.
"Stop what? I just want to see if it works, why are you so paranoid J9?"
"You might be triggering a trap for us Dexter, then you'd only be making trouble for the group. Just...come on, lets think about this. I'm looking at the door right now, it's a lot different from everything else in here."
"Is that supposed to be some kind of a joke Jeane? Calling the door shouldn't be a problem-"
"Listen to me for once Dexter, don't press the button or you'll be sorry!"
"Blah blah blah, I'm pressing it!" Dexter protested pressing the down led button.
The elevator surprisingly was not on ground level, which was weird enough. The lobby was quiet as they could all hear nothing but the sound of the descending elevator, Dexter being the closest one to it. The movement was slow, room was tense and all that was left was a slow moving machine.
DING!
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!!!!!!
A loud shriek came from the elevator as an elongated tongue punched out and slapped Dexter silly like a rag doll being flung towards Shiro, Ally, and Anna. His body hit the ground with a thud, and from the elevator doors, a black and white creature, much like the human ones from the alley on four legs stepped out. It's body unstable and reverberated, it looked like a giant chameleon as it's long tongue retracted and it's eyes moved wonkily around the room eying the other players. As it opened it's mouth an ear splitting shriek that was only the sound of STATIC was heard, forcing the hearing sensitive players like Jeane to cover their ears profusely.
"Now you've gone and done it dumb ass!" Jeane protested, pulling out her biotic rifle and taking aim for the creature she could only thing to name static, because it's all she could hear. "Brace yourselves for the worst team!"
"Ugh...I'd like a break for once." Dexter said sitting up holding his head.
"Are you actually gonna be serious? That THING isn't for show!" Jeane took a step back, remembering they were basically locked in here with it. "No better time than now to get practice with the stickers. Charrrrrggggeeeee!!!!"
Jeane, about as blind as she could get, reached for her hip tapping the grenade she had. She didn't know what it would do, there was no pin, so it wasn't a frag. Gripping it, she slid to her knees and tossed it towards the giant lizard looking static. The static's tongue slithered around like a whip and slapped the grenade of to the left, mirrored everyone else's right side. Bringing up her Rifle, she propped to shoot, but was interrupted quickly feeling the tongue coil around her and squeeze as she was lifted up.
"Shit...shit shit shit shiiiiiit! Help!!!"
Dexter buckled as he got to his feet. "Sorry Jeane, sorry everybody. Lets kick this things ass and square away an actual plan." the teen finally composed his very irrational streak.
Dexter extended his arm and the rod coiled around similar to the lizard's tongue. Dexter hadn't the slightest clue on how to actually use the sticker, it wasn't basic and straight forward like Jeane's Rifle, seemed a little more...odd. He braced his fist and threw his arm forward watching his arm unravel and stretch. Whipping it towards Jeane, and it did something...pretty freaking weird. Slithering under the tongue coiled around Jeane, even tighter so it expanded like a coil releasing itself from compression, then immediately gripped tight as she released an even WEIRDER noise, as dexter proceeded to pull her back.
"Wh-wh-what the hell was THAT?" he said holding her in arms, actually blushing.
"Huh?? F-forget what you just heard jerk, let me down!"
"Oh. Yeah sure, i'll take that as thanks hahaha." he looked over at the other girls, and Shiro. "Little help guys? Everybody else same question, that thing looks pretty durable!"
