[b]At the edge of the park[/b]

After having been pummeled into a complete and utter mush, the larger and more muscular man had tossed Nigel aside as if he were a dirty, undesirable rag. Now lying on the ground, arms and legs twitching in a spasmatic way, Nigel only let oput pained, gurgling noises as he had been reduced to a living sandbag for the time being. When the police sirens went off however, the larger man started to leave, spitting to the side and showing visual discontent at not being able to continue... When the Spacequake Alarm went off however, he shrieked like a little girl and ran headlong as fast as he could towards the nearest shelter, his masculine aura all but gone.

With nobody in the immediate vicinity of him anymore, Kasumi deemed it safe to finally assist Nigel - and using the Ratatoskr ship's ability, teleported the beaten and broken sack of meat onto the ship. He was quickly carried over to the med-bay, where he'd be trated by the doctor for his... unfortunate injuries in the field of duty...

[b]Meanwhile, over by the stage[/b]

The punks were ready to lay down a smackdown on the poor group - until they heard the blaring noise of the cops. Realizing someone must have called the law on them, they quickly regrouped and began to hurriedly walk away, shouting things back at Suichi and the others like; [i]We'll remember this![/i] and [i]You'd better watch yourselves![/i]. Of course, when the white-haired girl stepped forth and raised her hand, causing the SPacequake alart to go off, their hasty walk turned into a panicked disaster. Running in each and every direction, their unity as a gang had all but vanished and it was now clear that it was 'every man for himself'.

Some ran and bumped into each other, or other people, or objects, some froze in place and just stared in horror and some of them vanished so fast you couldn't even believe that humans could run that fast. Whatever the case, the punks had broken apart and now the gang of miscreants had been reduced to a whimpering, screaming flock of terrorized chickens. However, it wasn't just the gang that noticed the white-haired girl's actions, other people who had yet to leave the park also became witnesses to her little display, causing them to also scream and rush for cover, or freeze in place and stare in fear and shock.

Suddenly though, the blue-haired Kyoko received a call on her cell phone. It was likely her superiors at the AST, telling her to go get suited up and that a cadre of AST agents had already been deployed and were on their way., Of course, it could just ber friends, calling to make sure she'd gotten to a shelter... She'd have to check the caller ID to find out.

The buildings of the surrounding area were now beginning to lower themselves into the ground, covered with the secure sheets of blast-resistant metal. One by one, the structures of the area submerged, into the ground, leaving the vicinity around the park looking vacant and empty. It wouldn't be long before all buildings were sunk and gone, and the spacequake could occur without casuing any severe damage, though of course, some buildings didn't have the function and were forced to remain above-ground and suffer whatever fate was coming.

"[i]Mayumi! Snap out of it, Mayumi![/i]" A familiar voice called to the girl who were on her knees. "[i]If you're not going to help Suichiro, get away from there! We'll teleport you onto the ship once you get a ways away, but you have to leave first. C'mon, get up![/i]" It was Kasumi again, instructing her field operative to pull herself together and hurry up with evacuating.

She wasn't calling Suichiro anymore though - probably because he was too close to the Spirit to be teleported and also partly because he had engaged it into a conversation. Maybe she believe he could disarm the situation? Who knows.... The crew on her ship were all on edge though, shouting and barking about readings, updates and how things were changing in the area around and within the park.
