Pendulum waited in anticipation for...something, anything! Anything at all that let her know that the mission was a success. She did all she could do for the sake of the team, right? No one else was capable of doing her job at the moment, so staying here was the right choice...right? The ombre haired girl furrowed her brows in annoyance as she bit on her thumbnail, a bad habit she grew accustomed to when she was nervous. She could hear the booms and crashes of the fighting nearby and not being able to participate was nerve wracking to say the least.
Penn probably would have kept thinking about it if it wasn't for her earpiece releasing a bit of static, showing that she was connecting to someone. She held her breath for a few seconds, before Landon's voice came through. He said...to call off all troops? What the heck was he talking about? And, calling her Pendulum? Although she didn't like the nickname he had given her, she knew all too well what to do after hearing that.
"Roger that."A mischievous smirk formed on the girl's face, as she responded to the other while standing up.
"Yes! Finally!" She chimed happily before she ran off the edge of the building she was on and practically swan dived off the edge. Waving her arms around, bronze silver and gold chains came out of her sleeves. Pendulum effortlessly hooked the ends of the pendulums to windowsills and building edges, swinging to and fro, before taking to the ground, in which she sprinted down the alleyway. She had ran until she was a few meters away from the stare down before Penn opted on taking the upper ground again. She didn't want to get caught up in something that she didn't want to.
Now, perched up on the top of one of the buildings, Penn was given an interesting sight of Landon, someone aiming a gun at him, another baby-faced male with a hostage of his own, and Sticks who was separated from Landon. The girl couldn't help but furrow her brows. This was not looking good at all. Instead of jumping in and shooting off ice blasts like she wanted to, Penn thought strategically about it. Crouching down even further onto the building's roof, Penn took her spiral pendulum and held the end tightly. A few seconds past and the tip of the pendulum starts to glow a bright blue before she casts Blizzard three times: one directly at the man in the car, one at his gun and the other at the man holding a hostage. The blasts were not as big as normal, but big enough to either distract them enough from what they were doing, or at least disable them.

Laphicet blinked in confusion as Damian's voice came through their earpiece. Two minutes? The SOLDIER took a moment to panic a little bit before responding to the call.
"U-Um, I'll be there to a-assist..." They whispered softly before hurrying his way down, jumping down and under to the bottom of the Sister Ray. They had arrived just in time to see Damian preparing to cut all of the wires that were connected to the bomb.
"WH-WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING!?" They rose their voice as loud as possible to stop the other before they got to him. Laphicet practically glared at the black haired man before focusing back on the bomb.
"That's t-too risky...that should be the last thing w-we decide to do.." He practically whispered, embarrassed from yelling so loudly.
"We should focus on containing the b-bomb first b-before it explodes. S-Something that will k-keep it from destroying e-everything...M-Maybe I could a-add i-ice to your sword and w-we can freeze it..?" He suggested, letting his mouth run o all of the thoughts that went though his mind.
