[b][color=yellow]"That didn't tell me jack shit!"[/color][/b] He shouted down the path Eclipse Princess had made. Then he turned around and he saw the tank. [b][color=yellow]"What the fuck?!"[/color][/b]

The hell was this situation? Duelist vs tank. In terms of raw power, of course he didn't stand a chance. There was no way he'd be able to pierce through it with his lance, and as long as they held the hatch closed he didn't have a way of going in. Even if Eclipse Princess hadn't done a runner on him he didn't think it would be easy to fight a tank. Even after all that she said about 'fun'… The fun came right after she asked for it and she wasn't even there.

There were even gunners on top of the tank so he wouldn't be able to fly directly at it without getting swiss cheesed. It looked like he might not have much choice in the matter though, as from the other side of the alley there were three more goons who wanted to make some cheese.

[b][color=yellow]"Oh fine, whatever!"[/color][/b] He said, holding his lance straight up.

He boosted into the air and the volley of bullets missed him, instead they just ricocheted off the tank. He raced through his memories trying to find something to help him in this situation

[color=yellow][i]Come on, come on…  wasn't there something I read a while ago about tanks? Something about it blowing up…?[/i][/color] He thought frantically.

Then he spied the grenadier which had attacked them before. He was knocked down by the force of his own grenade. Eclipse Princess sure laid people out without mercy. He didn't want to be on her bad side until he had a few more levels under his belt.

Then suddenly, a certain segment from the Deep Ground update thread sprang to his mind. Exp crystals enemies dropped could be traded in for raw materials to craft items. Anyone could do simple crafting for things like potions and whatnot, but his specialization was bounty hunter and right now all he had was rope for a net. What the hell could he do…

[b][color=yellow]"Wait a minute,"[/color][/b] He shouted, his head snapping in the direction of the grenadier. [b][color=yellow]"That's it!"[/color][/b]

He abruptly changed directions and made a beeline for the downed grenadier. The enemy outlaw groggily got to his feet but the only thing he saw was the point of Kosuke's lance. Kosuke swiped what remained from his body, but it wasn't exp crystals that came out of the grey light, instead, Kosuke held two small glass bottles filled with some kind of liquid in his hands. This next part was going to be tricky.

A fresh volley of gunfire erupted from the gunners on top of the tank. He went hands-free as he opened up his inventory and swerved to dodge, then he stashed the bottles inside. He took out his net rope and pressed the 'craft' button. The novice bounty hunter crafting knife appeared in his right hand, and the tip of his rope emerged from the inventory screen. He cut three lengths of rope; two equally short, and one fairly long, but not too long. He stashed the long piece in his inventory again, and took out the two bottles. He stuck one piece of rope inside each bottle's neck and <<Improvised Molotov x2>> was complete.

[b][color=yellow]"Now we're in business!"[/color][/b] But then he had to abruptly change direction as the tank fired a shell in his direction.

Taking the long piece of rope from his inventory, he tied one end to the first bottle and the other to his lance. It was time to attack. He pulled his lance upwards, all the way into a nosedive aimed straight at the tank. He used his other hand, still holding a molotov, to slide a piece of equipment to his free hand. He let go of his first lance and jumped, setting it to swerve upwards as his other lance formed in his left hand. His first lance rocketed forward, molotov lit. The payload struck dead on and fire sprayed all over the top of the tank, as Kosuke activated the rocket booster on his second lance and reapproached the tank.

Titan's Grip was serving him well, lances were two-handed meaning he could dual-wield them with Titan's Grip. But that didn't mean that he had to have both lances in his hand at the same time, and along the same vein it didn't mean he couldn't two hand the other one even if he had two equipped.

The gunners jumped off in panic, and finally Kosuke could deal with the tank.

[b][color=yellow]"Eat this!"[/color][/b] He shouted.

The threw his last improvised molotov at the tank gunner's sight opening. He remembered now one of the greatest weaknesses of tanks was their enclosed environment. Starting a fire inside a tank meant death for everyone on board. It wasn't easy to put them out, and molotovs had been commonly used in real wars to deal with a tank instantly.

However, it was not impossible to fight a fire from within a tank, and if any of the players inside had a good enough water ability, his molotov would fail and the gunners would be on him right afterwards. Whether or not his tactic would work was up to fate to decide.

[b][color=thistle]"Woah… It's so big…"[/color][/b] Arkadian said.

He couldn't help but admire it. As a mage, this was the kind of thing he was supposed to be capable of, he felt like he wasn't really supposed to be throwing his cat at people. It was unexpected, sure, and it took people by surprise sometimes, but the difference between a surprising ability and an actually powerful ability was something he felt in his soul.

A green light shown from Christopher and the stun status was removed. He looked around to see who could've cast it, but Hellflame was most definitely not a healer and none of their enemies would've healed him. It could only have been the rogue.

[b][color=thistle]"Thanks!"[/color][/b] He shouted. He didn't know whether she could hear him, but it didn't matter too much to him. [b][color=thistle]"Let's go up, Christopher!"[/color][/b]The other outlaws fell away before him as Christopher began to fly upwards. Their enemies didn't have a flying ability, so as long as he and Hellflame went upwards, they would win this fight, but Arkadian was sure he didn't need to tell him that. He hadn't been around Hellflame for very long but he could tell at least that he had much more experience in Deep Ground Online than Arkadian did.
