Kirk jumped out shortly after Soa did and stayed close to her. Soon winged humanoids flew down from above and rain destruction on them, so it was business as usual for the Knight of Thorns. Kirk stayed close behind Soa with his Dark Hand out, using it to block or deflect some of the magical attacks he felt he couldn't outrun. Unfortunately that was about all he could do, as he lacked many range options to fight back. They were well out of range of his fireballs, and he wasn't sure how much damage one of his knives were going to do to them. Still, when he felt he had a bit of space between himself ant the angels Kirk turned around and threw one of his poisoned throwing knives at one of the winged creatures. Perhaps they did not expect it or maybe they didn't care, but one of them got hit by the poisoned dagger, right on the wing. It began to fall from the skies for just a moment, but still stayed aloft at the last minute. "We need to take out their wings..." The Knight though to himself. For now he just kept following Soa, using his body to shield her from the winged assailants attacks.

"Well that escalated quickly!" Soon winged humans (Angels?) swooped in and started shooting the place up with magic lasers. Spike and Soa ran off to flee from the attackers while Xia climbed the roofs and started running and jumping across from them. She needed just a few moments to line up her sights and try to take down those birdies. She'd use her assault rifle, but she couldn't run and gun reliably with it. She'd have to use her handguns for now. As the winged-people continued to chase down Soa and Spiky, Xia aimed both her pistols towards one of them. She fired off at least five shots from each gun at one of the attackers, shooting into their backs and wings. Xia didn't stay in one spot however; once she fired she quickly changed directions and jumped over to other buildings, behind cover, and generally did not stay put. She knew where her allies were and where her enemies were, but they wouldn't know where she was.

As the civilians begun to run as far away from the area Soa continued to head in pretty much a single direction and the winged humanoids continued to follow them, concentrating their firepower on their target, seemingly careless for the attacks that Xia and Kirk sent at them. Soa run across the street into a old tunnel of some sort earning Kirk and herself a few short moments to catch their breaths while a local police unit engaged the winged creatures outside of the tunnel. As soon as she cough her breath, Soa's body was after all that of a child, Soa spoke to Kirk: "Kirk you need to destroy their core, which is located in the chest, otherwise they will just heal any wound and continue attacking us. If you see Xia, the lady with the guns, inform her of this. Now we must run on, the police outside is almost gone." Then she went on to run trough and out of the tunnel heading towards whatever location she was going to...

After meeting with the armored transports Levia and her unit quickly drove towards the conflict area and were minutes away when it became clear what was going on, winged humanoids known as "The Winged Ones" but usually called Angels, Tenshi or by other names which described similar creatures from Earth's mythology were attacking the city. Unlike most other "Arrived" their origin and purpose was unknown and they were know to attack people and settlements without any reason. Seeing them here made Levia shout an order: "Drive as fast a you can! We have to stop them ASAP or who know how much of the city will be destroyed!" The order was followed but it would still take some time for them to reach an effective range to engage "The Winged Ones"...

Destroy the core? Simple enough. Kirk's dealt with his far share of flying enemies to know how to handle these ones, and now he knew their weakness. Determined to kill the enemies, Kirk ran with Soa until he found a series of elevations he could use to get to some high ground. Luckily since the winged enemies seemed to be chasing Soa, they had a fairly predicable flight pattern, and while their attacks were powerful, they couldn't hit a small target like Soa. Kirk also heard gunfire, and occasionally would have seen that Xia girl from before ducking in and around cover to shoot at the winged enemies, but to no effect. He'd have to show her how it's done.

There wasn't much rooftop left before Kirk would have to keep running on the ground, so he dashed as fast as he could as he neared towards the end of the ledge. than with a mighty leap, he flung his body towards the nearest assailant. He slashed at the enemy, his barbed blades digging into it's flesh. He could already see that it was healing from the damage however, but Kirk wasn't finished yet. His weight at least was able to force the attacker onto the ground and her it's assault on Soa. Kirk didn't give the creature a chance to recover, bashing his spiky shield into it's back. He was so vicious and so brutal that eventually he did tear away enough of the attacker's flesh and bones that he saw something that looked out of the ordinary; some sort of ball or orb around the heart area. This must have been the "Core" that Soa spoke of. Kirk continued to launch fast, brutal punches with his thorny shield onto the core, causing it to crack. He raised his arm high once more and brought it down with all the force he could muster, right onto the enemy's core. It shattered inside the flesh, bits and pieces exploding outwards and bouncing off Kirk's armor. "Destroy it's core!" Kirk shouted to Xia as he went off to find Soa.
