The War for Baji (open)

I should be able to post in a couple hours and get Metou out of the bushes.

If Yuudai is Senator Armstrong, does that mean Metou is The End?

That post was kind of a recap of what Metou was thinking during the whole dialogue, even though she probably should've attacked while the Zhuni woman was holding Yuudai, but my hands were tied and I wasn't able to reply before we moved on. Let me know if I missed a detail or something.

Hiding out in the bushes behind the Zhuni woman, Metou carefully watched the fight, but it didn't last long. The woman was holding Yuudai up threateningly, seemingly about to finish it. She still had her back turned to Metou, and both of her hands were occupied. Seeing that as her chance, Metou readied her gun, pointed it at the woman's back, and brought her finger in to pull the trigger, but the instant she was about to fire, Yuudai was dropped, and the woman started talking. She said that they had the same goal, that she wanted them to find the relics, she gave them some hints and revealed herself to be the daughter of the Ki Witch. Metou had never had the displeasure of running into her or her disciples before, but it was hard to avoid the rumors of her omnipotence.

Metou had potential questions she could ask, but so far the Zhuni hadn't given any sign that she had noticed Metou's current position, and the sniper didn't trust this woman one bit, no matter how much she claimed they had similar goals. The main thing that stuck out to Metou was that the Zhuni said she knew where the relics were, and she wanted the group to find them, but she didn't just come forward to tell them where the thieves were. However, Metou wanted to maintain her position in case this was a trick, and the woman attacked again. Hopefully one of the teammates would pick up on that, not that Metou actually bought that this woman already knew where the thieves were.

The only thing that this woman's words confirmed for Metou was that these relics were more important than she originally thought, that they must've had a great deal of power if the Ki Witch was interested in them. But she trusted the Zhuni woman no further than that, so even though the battle seemed over, Metou held her position and kept her rifle steady.

Another short post. I'm flying home from college for the weekend, I should still be able to catch up and post but there'll be a couple periods of time in which I won't be able to respond quickly.

Metou's mouth was agape for a moment as the Zhuni woman did something impossible, she caught the bullet from her rifle and threw it even faster. Up until this point Metou had figured she was the weirdest thing around, but this woman clearly had her beat. Their options were starting to become limited. Yuudai was about to confront her, but even though she looked strong Metou didn't think she stood much of a chance against someone who could pluck a bullet out of the air. Shooting her from the front also seemed like an impossible way to get her off their back. However, for right now it seemed like the Zhuni woman was going to be a little preoccupied fighting the half-oni woman, and it seemed like the others at least had a good shot at her other minions. Metou jumped backwards off her branch and drifted down to the forest floor, and then folded her wings close to her body as she hid.

Moving as slowly as she could, Metou crept behind the trees and under any brush she could find to position herself a few meters before the Zhuni woman as she was about to fight Yuudai. Metou began reloading her rifle while keeping her eyes on her target. As she crouched she hoped Yuudai would be enough of a match to give her an opportunity to strike.

Sorry I took too long and the post isn't even that stellar, but the shirt I bought today looks really nice, and that's all that really matters in the end.

If Jiang hadn't at least slowed the assailant down with his blade, Metou would've been run through. When Jiang slashed through the enemy's face and into their brain, it managed to jolt Metou and get her flapping. With a short burst of motion from her wings, Metou tried to throw herself out of the way of the charging brute, but his face caught her foot and she tripped over him. She fell to the ground and quickly scrambled away, gun still in hand, and took off into the air as fast as she could and flew to a sturdy looking branch. 'I suppose we know why those bones are there,' Metou thought as she landed.

Metou pointed her rifle at the man with the bone wedged in his head, her thoughts racing. Before pulling the trigger, Metou considered the effect of Jiang's blade on the man. There was no way Metou's bullet would be worth the risk of accidentally hitting a teammate now that the creature was fighting in the middle of the group, if cutting into his brain didn't phase him. As quickly and suddenly as she could, Metou pointed the rifle away from the man that attacked her and towards the chest of the woman controlling them, and fired.
