[center][h1][color=0054a6]Nótt[/color][/h1][/center] "...Have a deep breath..." "...And chill" As Nótt heard the armored guy talking, she felt a sharp mental snap. Feeling her illusions breaking, she instinctively looked beyond the fire wall, just to see the armored figure emerge from the wall of fire, shooting a snare at the fire girl. With a blinding speed she grabber her sword, intending to cut the girl's snare, (08) But before drawing it, she realized that it was too close from her body, and her sword might kill the girl. Grabbing the girl's snared body, she jumped back, just as the armored figure fired again, this time in her direction. As the snare approached her, she threw the girl up, and with blinding speed, drew her sword, in a clean, elegant motion (Iaijutsu). Her sword flew in a perfect movement, her technique sharpened by years and years of training, coupled with her superhuman capabilities from the cybernetic and robotic parts. Almost too fast to be seen, only the terrifying whistle of her sword cutting through the air could be heard. (14) The snare was cut down in half, as she sheathed her sword. Gabbing the girl as she fell in her shoulder, she gave another jump back, planning her escape. [color=ed1c24]*RA-TA-TA*[/color] The moment she got the girl, she heard the loud noise of a rifle firing, as the bullets passed, missing the girl's head for some inches. [color=0054a6]"That's how it is... Firing first and asking questions later... What will you gain helping the humans in hunting and driving your own kind to extinction? [/color] she asked, with a cold voice. [color=ed1c24]*RA-TA-TA*[/color] She heard another burst from the rifle. Another person fired from behind the wall, this time it was aiming directly for her head, as she saw the bullets leaving the gun's barrel. She couldn't let the girl fall down, if she fell, she would have no alternative but to leave her behind and run. (02) To make things worse, her sword was sheathed, and she moved her hand away from it to catch the girl. Moving out of pure reflex, she quickly moved her free hand, attempting to grab the bullet with her claws (10) (14) (01). She successfully grabbed two of the three bullets that were fired, holding them just in front of her face. The bullets were still steaming hot as the last one hit her arm, making her drop the other two. [color=0054a6]"Argh, Shit!"[/color] she cursed, making the other two bullets fall on the ground. She looked in disbelief to the blood flowing out of her armor. The bullet wasn't strong enough to pierce it, but the impact broke her wrist and wounded her. It was the first time she saw the red of her own blood in a long... long time. [color=0054a6]"I will remember this... No one touches me and lives for too long to tell the story."[/color] she said, her cold expression and voice were gone. Her eyes now showed only hate, you could feel her blood thirst in her voice. With the girl in her arms, she ran away in the blink of an eye. Disappearing in a gust of wind. [@TheDarkTemplar][@Zetsuko][@Ace of flames01]
