"Gunner, what did solaire say about killing?" Theta asks sternly. Sure she was just as eager, but she wasn't willing to lose gunner just yet. Nor was she about to get shot

That was before she saw gunner fall to his knees

"....let him go, or you're all dead." She says menacingly

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
Gunner laughed, though clenched teeth, blood leaking from his gums as he smiled. "Hehehe...impressive....." He says, as he began to shrink down, and glow, soon becoming skinny, and frail looking...but he's able to resist the effects of the increased gravity with ease. "You used my physical powers against me..That is impressive. But now, both your fists, and your magic is useless." He says, as his legs very slowly heal, and he stands up. Spitting out a tooth dislodged from the gravity, he looks at the General. "You're a cocky bastard, aren't you..." Tide says to Gunner. "..One has to be in my line of work. The meek get no business...the boastful either deliver, or die." He retorts. With is hands still glowing, he swipes the air, and nothing happens for a few moments...before the general's armor heats up rapidly. "I can see your armor absorbs magic. That will be your end here....I'm letting out an exceptional amount of heat, that normally would dissipate quickly..however, your armor is absorbing it all. In a few moments, it will begin to melt, and you'll start to cook. No one insults me and doesn't pay a price general. It's bad for business." He says, smiling insanely.

the high general lifts a finger, causing gunner to rise in the air before zooming out into the desert, being face planted hard enough for him to go a few miles underneath the sand, his heat causing glass to form around him, caging him there with an airhole made from his rather rapid descent. "now that that's settled." the high general replies evenly, fixing his coat which begins to mend of it's own accord, tide being released to rise to his feet as the high general turns to theta, grabbing a nearby shovel and handing it to her.

"have fun" the high general replies as he heads back inside the tower, mute petting maka and delta's hair with a bit of blood leaking from their heads, nothing serious. "mute, you're turn" the high general replies evenly, sitting next to them with a grown as mute goes to the busted out wall and extends her hands, the city cobbling itself back together as people watched. Mute the sits next to the general and sips at a fruity wine common to the planet

[kishin asura]

"...........well, don't say I didn't warn you." Theta says as her skin changes to a light gray and her body becomes more blob-like. Expanding and engulfing anything in her path. Had asura not acted quickly, maka, mute, delta, and the high general would've been killed. They now were suspended in the air by asura's skin scarves "this is bad...." asura says as he looks on. Theta's new bloblike form began secreting some form of acid that ate away at everything it touched, all while theta continued to expand rapidly ".....scratch that, it's gone full shitstorm."

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
Gunner blinked as he flew though the air, and he let out one sentence explaining his reaction.
"...That cheeky dick waffle."
After slamming into the ground, Gunner quickly works his way out, breaking and chipping though the class with his strength form, which does take a bit. Maka and Delta slowly wake up, and Delta looks her body over. "..That...was impressive. If I didn't feel like I went though a shredder....I'd.....applaud her...." Delta says, looking at the new scars forming over her, even with the aid of healing. Maka slowly stands. "..Sorry..I...you remind me of someone I've still needed to gut..." Maka says, her normally pleasant demeanor melting away to a murderous, cold personality. Maka's wavelength oddly was madness, mixed with vengeance, began to lightly effect the others near her, Delta's eyes widening. "...I can relate with that." Delta says. If Mute had anyone in particular she'd like to murder, she'd feel that urge more.

@kishin asura
As this happened, Gunner could sense Theta change from where he was, but he took it as something else.
She became a blob...
The general was able to manipulate gravity...
He..he crushed theta...?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
With rage matching that of a god after a sinner, Gunner smashes though the glass prison he had found himself in, before flying off, using his ability to manipulate heat to send him rocketing though the air, like a jet. Soon, he arrives on scene, seeing Theta as a blob, with Asura picking everyone else up.
"WHAT DID HE DO TO HER!? YOU MONSTER, I'LL KILL YOU!" Gunner says, staring up at the high general, as he began to move his hands rapidly, weaving some sort of spell. Asura was the first to feel the heat burn into his scarf holding the general, as a odd symbol began to burn into it, and into the armor of the general.

@supertinyking

mute just sort of stands on the edge of one of kishin's skin scarves, her hands held out towards theta's rapidly expanding mass as it stops before slowly receding rather than expanding, it's flow reversed as things the acid had previously washed over and coated are reformed once the grey ooze passes, the high general taking his wrist band off and pressing a few buttons on it, four cylinders jutting out from it and releasing a large quantity of steam before the middle ring changes from white to blue, to green, and then finally to pink.

"nothing. she's doing this because i threw you into the desert. used up all my magic getting you to back off" the general replies evenly as he slips his braclet back on, watching the blob slowly recede until theta's left just being pissy while mute has to do the same refreshing process with her bracelet

"Is that the best you got?" Theta asks, her distorted voice booming out. She once more expands. Faster than before. A tentacle bursts out and spears mute through the arm. The acid eating it away "I'm a freak of nature! The monster hiding under your bed! Compared to you guys I'm the fucking boogeyman!" She laughs as more tentacles race toward the high general. Spearing through his arms and legs "I'll make sure you die the slowest out of everyone else!"

A distorted face appears on the blobs and looks at gunner with a mad grin "oh hey dear, hope you don't mind if I grab a bite to eat." She bellows out

Asura sighs "I got this." He says as he grabs one of the tentacles. Yelling in pain as the acid eats away at his palm "keep her busy!

[supertinyking]

@kishin asura
Smiling, Gunner nods. "Go ahead..." He says, before spotting Asura trying to hold one of Theta's tenticals. He darts into Asura, headbutting him under the arm, like a human missile. Maka leaps down, and knocks him into the ground, before in a slightly clogged nose voice says one thing.
"..Fuck." She says, before she begins to scream, as steam rises off of her. "Let her go asura, or Maka here becomes stewed in her own body's water!" He says, threatening the Kishin.

@supertinyking

the spears seem to hit something around them before a hexegonicaly bubble around the generals burst along with the tentacles, both the offensive and defensive force dissipating as mute once again shrinks her back down before the high general locks her in a stasis bubble, preventing her from expanding any more or moving much more than talking for that matter, both of them looking rather annoyed more so than intimidated.

"would you kindly convince your mate to calm herself. she is doing this for you after all" the high general replies evenly, the shields around both himself and mute reforming slowly before disappearing as he locks gunner in another stasis bubble, unfortunately doing the same with asura which in turn locks his skin scarves in place

[kishin asura]

@supertinyking
@Tyki

"I had it covered." Asura tells the general before letting go of the tentacle and leaving behind a glowing bright red hand print "now undo the bubbles. I know what I'm doing." He looks at maka and then adds "and maybe get a doctor."

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
"What can I say, she's the best kind of gal." Gunner says, grinning. "The kind of gal who'll kill anyone for threatening the people she cares..or, hopefully cares about." He adds, before turning to Theta. "...Ok hun, thanks for showing them not to fuck with me, but I would like it if you could calm down..." He says, sorta chuckling. "...But gotta admit, pretty awesome how you did that." He adds.

@supertinyking

"Nah. I haven't even tasted the local cuisine." Theta responds with a chuckle before fainting suddenly and completely out of nowhere "told you I had it covered." Asura says

[supertinyking]

@kishin asura
Gunner looks over at Asura. "....Please tell me she's going to be fine." He says, looking rather worried. Maka is out cold from the attack he had preformed, her having suffered a heat stroke.

[kishin asura]

@supertinyking

"Relax. I merely forced a small part of my wavelength into her body. Aside from a few aches and pains when she wakes up, she'll be fine." Asura sits on the ground and says "well, shit went down much sooner than we originally thought...."

[supertinyking]

@kishin asura
Sitting down besides her, Gunner gently hugs Theta, a gentle warmth passing though her, relaxing the aches and the pain away. "..I'm sorry..." He says to her, holding her gently.

[kishin asura]

@supertinyking

Still unconscious, theta snuggles into the hug

[Wraithblade6]

"Solaire.... Solaire?" Eclipse walks around, stepping over puddles of slime. "Wow. This place suddenly got messy."

[supertinyking]

@kishin asura
Gunner smiles, before dropping Theta suddenly, before a hand bursts from his chest. Tide growls, having managed to sneak up behind him, and impaled Gunner with a pointed hand strike. Gunner gurgles, as he falls backwards, Tide's hand being pulled back.

[kishin asura]

@supertinyking

"Gunner.....?" Theta asked groggily as she looks around for him. When she sees tide pull his hand back, she growls and says "oh you did not just do that."
