[b][i]Assassins and Most Agents[/i][/b] "Good job, Conor!" spoke Ascot as the Fighter-Mage brought up Eise from the earth, and, in cooperation with Silas, temporarily bound him in metal - of course, since Black Cat can teleport, this would not last...unless he used a counterspell. And so, bringing up magic from the Law and Timespace Schools, the boy created a Dimensional Anchor, preventing Eise from Teleporting or Phasing. He then decided not to hog the spotlight this time, and allow the two Magi to attack the Possessed Mage with everything they've got, while he assessed the changes in the battlefield. It was chaos. Catherine and Clarissa had broken out of the throng of spirit creatures and derbis swarming them, using an explosion of telekenetic force and a burst of Plasma, respectively. Now, Catherine 'bent' the light upon herself, hiding her body from everyone's view. But Ascot can still see her. As Silas and Conor fought Black Cat, the boy dragged his invisibility helmet from a dimensional pocket and put it on; the Pure Technology hiding his position from Magic. He then snuck forwards towards Catherine as she fired bursts of lightning at the spirit beasts, then flew away in order not to give her position, before drawing a pistol - also invisible - and firing Orichalcum bullets at her. What was Orichalcum, one may ask? Well, it was a Magical Material made by Law and Matter Magic, which was able to reduce the power of magical shields, and dealt damage unhealable by Magic. It also destroyed magical constructs with ease, meaning that it was a great weapon against undead, spirits, and other Magi. Nonpracticing Magi in the Armed Forces carried Orichalcum bullets as protection. "AUGH!" screamed Catherine as the bullets hit her in the knee, and she enveloped her nude body in an aura of fire, causing terror and...other feelings in the Magi that remained in the convention centre. She was still flying despite the pain, and she looked around for Ascot, trying to find the person who shot her. Finding the minute sound of his footfalls, she shot a burst of lasers at the boy... ...Who just counterspelled her efforts with Law. At the end of the day, Energy, however specialized, lost against a combination of Law+Energy. However, Catherine was nothing if not smart, and so she just lifted rocks and dead bodies high into the air and shot it at random directions, hitting spirit animals, but not the boy. Nevertheless, while Ascot had weakened her, it was evident that someone else had to subdue the angry Magi. Clarissa, meanwhile, was now launching bolts of plasma from her hands, as well as acid and sharp objects. Note that these were [i]temporary[/i] conjurations, as permanent ones required both Law and were also governed by body weight. Omega retaliated by either blocking the projectiles with his swords, or by sending out his many spirit creatures. He then launched bolts of pure death towards the Matter Mage, who responded by placing her hands upon the earth and turning the floor into sodium and water, a flammable mix of materials. But, by riding one of his spirit creatures, Omega managed to evade Clarissa, and launch a shadowbind at her, throwing her into the ground she had set on fire some time before... [B][I]Bathazar 'Thaz' Carlton[/i][/b] Akira Kariya and Thaz were evenly matched, with the latter's better-trained physique clashing with the former's stronger magical power. But Thaz had trained with 'the brat' before, and A.K. had the same Schools as him. This, eventually, gave her a slight advantage. She caused the ground under Akira to explode, causing him to attempt flight, but Thaz was now causing the [i]cieling[/i] to blow up as well... ...Causing him to erect a barrier that kept the falling masonry from crushing him, a barrier that distracted him long enough for Thaz to drop-kick the man, knocking him into a wall - he survived. "Target Apprehended!" she shouted, using Energy and Timespace to project her voice all across the Convention Centre. The Agency was winning; soon, she can probably have a cup of hot joe while putting down the thug, the brat, and their hirelings...
