Scene #5384: Out-fox-ing the Need of Money

Owner	Pose
Tamamo no Mae	It's a nice afternoon in this world's Japan. Fortunately, it's not the Japan that she works at or a certain other fox's Japan... but it's one enough. Tamamo's tail twitches as she wanders the streets, gathering views to herself, some pictures and maybe a few wolf whistles too from how the kitsune's dressed. "My my, seems that this world is pretty well off!" she whispers to no one in particular, possibly her bodyguard, wherever they are. "The simple plan is to just go in, have them turn over the vault to us and go home, after all... the queen demands her tax and tithe." Tamamo stops in front of the bank, a quick flick of her wrist and the Eightfold Blessings of Amaterasu materializes in, floating just above her left hand before she makes her way inside the building. "Hi hi! Your queen's here... and she demands her little payment, you know. Now, I'm sure you don't want to make your Queen mad by delaying, now... please. Turn over everything here, money wise and item wise, and we'll be on our way and I won't have to bother you with my tithe again~"
Kushiko	Bodyguarding isn't something that's unknown to Kushiko. Really, Tenno tended to do that guarding thing on occasions even before their great sleep. Or evacuating people out of places and the like. <"Well enough it seems."> is the response of the Tenno, the feminine voice without presence seeming to whisper through the air. <"We see. Well, hopefully they won't make it anymore difficult than it needs to be."> Not that she minds difficulty. Just that simple is better. Presently the figure in question is that of Valkyr, a felinoid-inspired Warframe, blacks and purple and her anchor-tipped tail swaying ever so slightly. She stands only slightly taller than Tamamo, but that's pretty relative given the ears and other respective elements of the Servant vs. the Warframe. A small drone hovers near Valkyr at the same time as they proceed in, though she simply walks in if not teleported along with her, and simply /menaces/ really. She's got some kind of blade at her back, but the eyeless, faceless Warframe may do well to be terrifying on it's own.
Xiaomu	Of course the bank has security on site, and it's possible that neither Tamamo nor Kushiko can tell the difference between a policeman and a private security guard. (To be fair, they do dress somewhat comparably in some regions.) So while the somewhat startled teller behind the counter is going, "I'm sorry, ma'am, we can't let you withdraw more than you've deposited into your accounts with us. If you'd like to inquire about making a loan, I'll have one of our officers come to speak with you?" ... .... the guard/policeman/constable/whatever is speaking quietly into his radio. "Dispatch, this is Tanikaze at Third Star Bank downtown, we've got possible Elite robbers on site. One woman with fox features, one ... cybernetic armor catgirl with a sword. Call for backup immediately, I'll clear civilians."
Deelel	Deelel had been out and abount doing a lot of thinking given her views on some of the other watch? The normally very social program had been quite the ghost to the majority of the watch. So here was Deelel pulling up on her light cycle, the craft's engine would be something that Xiaomu knows very well. Deelel brings it to a hault the entire craft turnrs to light after a moment leaving the program to pocket the baton. She Also notioces that there is more things goiung on here than she thought. She doesn't have Xiaomu's law connections anymore. Yet here she was with no seeming weapon in hand as she made for the bank. She only knew about the Fox she had no idea about the tenno, but the fox woman was more than enough to make her on edge and be more alert than she might be given this already wasn't mundane.
Tamamo no Mae	Tamamo looks to her bodyguard/'friend', smiling, "Well, if they decide to make it hard, it's their fault. But alas, they are human, they are prone to mistakes." she comments, making her way to the countner. Though, when the teller denies her in a strange way, she tilts her head, "Withdraw...? Accounts? No, I'm sorry, you may have misheard me. You're to give me your payment to make sure nothing bad happens here or anywhere else in this country, only right when your Queen demands the payment." Though the rent-a-cop makes his move to radio people, Tamamo turns around and starts strutting his way. "Oh my, are you bringing more guests to pay the tithe? Or am I going to have to tax... you... personally?" she runs a finger up the guard's chin and smiles, "So, my lovely bodyguard, they don't seem to want to pay up... could you carve me a path to the vault? Don't injure anyone... yet~" she smiles towards Kushiko, "We'll just take what's there... since you don't want to /freely/ give it~"
Kushiko	Two things happen pretty promptly in regards to both A) the request by Tamamo and B) the reaction of the guard by the faceless Warframe. Seeing as she doesn't actually want to maim these people /too terribly/ the energy lines on her body seem to surge as she draws her limbs in-- And then back out again, with an ethereal HOWL that sends a buffeting wave of energy outward from her towards the vault itself; it won't actually harm or even ruffle the fur on Tamamo who's undoubtedly in the way. The energy wave itself is paralyzing, however, and short of some super Elite present, extremely capable of knocking everyone down. <"Stay down. All of you."> The blade itself as seen is drawn from her back--almost organic, yet ghosted with energy along it's edge. Barring any direct issues with the vault itself, she'll actually take a brief scan of it first. While she believes she could easily carve /into/ the vault iself, the sensors of her Warframe are going to be used to make sure that violence against the vault itself won't trigger something that makes getting in harder than necessary. While, you know, prepared to deal with anyone who gets in her way, presently.
Xiaomu	Well, if Tanikaze had been given a chance to get civilians out of the bank, there would probably be a lot less screaming when that sword comes out. Also a lot fewer customers trying to make a mad dash for the exits and less yelling from other guards (trying to get the two Elites to stand down) and bank staff (trying to reclaim some semblance of order, if only so everybody gets out safely). Also, due to the scary foxgirl attempting to seduce Tanikaze himself (and to a slightly lesser extent, the scary robo-catgirl with the freaky sword), the only 'exits' anyone's rushing towards are emergency exits not constructed to accomodate nearly that many people in that much of a hurry. And that's the point when a lightcycle's engine comes to an abrupt halt outside the bank, its rider somersaulting through a poof of gold-colored smoke as her riding suit gives way to black qipao and red vest, helmet vanishing the same way to reveal blonde-furred, brown-tipped hairtails and ears. Xiaomu doesn't even break stride as she walks into the bank alongside Deelel. Predictably, Xiaomu's attention settles first on the other vixen. "You picked the wrong night to rob a bank," Xiaomu snaps at Tamamo. "Stop muddling with the man's head. And you -" She gestures at the Tenno. "- stay away from that vault door. If you want to walk away, now's the time to leave before things get ugly. Just give up and leave while you can ..." She pauses, focusing on the kitsune again. ".... and I'll have your immortal oath not to rob any banks in any world, or even attempt to, ever again."
Deelel	Deelel is a bit behind things given she arrived a bit after Xiaomu did she's making her way into the bank now. She hears the howl and that forces her back, ity make her rezz in her helemt for some level of protection. The faceless black hlemet now covers her head and she summons her keyblade as she moves in on the theives. Now with Xiaomu along it good to know she has someone she can trust. She still is bitter about Terra demanding that she not trust Xiaomu. If Xiaomu wanted her ended she's already have gone to Clu with the Paladins. She looks at the Tenno then to the fox woman. She gets the Fox Woman is totally Xiaomus she turns to the Tenno. "You know I'm actually shocked to see one of you doing something this petty." She has her Keyblade out and ready as it forms in her hand and the edge of the key humms. "So do you just walk awy or do we have to dance?"
Tamamo no Mae	Tamamo resists the whole buffeting wave of energy, standing herself still... "Oh that is very useful." she grins, turning towards the vault. The screams of the innocents running away make the foxwoman smile brightly as she follows along towards Kushiko's path since the way's going clear now. Tanikaze, however, might get another visit later... she turns her head towards him, blows him a kiss and continues on her way... Herst least, she would continue if it wasn't for the noise of a lightcycle and a familiar voice hitting her ears. She lets out a distressed sigh, "Oh, it's her..." she mutters to no one in particular as she turns around. "Tenno, go ahead and continue.,.." she smiles, her face turning to both Xiaomu then to Deelel... then back to Xiaomu. "Oh, Tamamo asked them to be my bodyguard~" she replies towards Deelel... but she turns to Xiaomu, "I already promised not to do evil things in two Japans, now you want me to do that again for this one too? Tamamo's upset that a lesser rate fox is trying to tell me what to do!" She makes a few steps towards Xiaomu and Deelel, mirror at the ready, "So, this is what Tamamo's going to do. Tamamo's going to take her tithe and walk away... and you're not going to do a thing... after all, we're not injuring anyone so~..." she moves to a battle stance, the mirror glowing with magical energy, "Master may end up a bit drained after I'm done... but nothing Tamamo can't take care of! Now, is it you two who want to dance with blade and spell?"
Kushiko	Silence reigns from the Valkyr Warframe that Kushiko operates. Xiaomu is known to her; it's unfortunate that they would need meet here like this, but nothing can be done nor said for it. <"If you speak highly of oaths you know well that one's word cannot be simply broken."> As to the vault itself, especially with Deelel's arrival, she momentarily focuses on it, then to Tamamo. <"Very well. We will ensure you are not put in mortal danger, however..."> And given Tamamo's stance to more or less defend what she's doing, she'll do exactly that--though if the vault doesn't have safeguards against someone say, carving it off it's hinges, she's going to do just that. With terrifying grace and efficiency, before digging a hand into the reinforced metal to rip it off and /maybe/ send it flying for Tamamo to use against the pair intervening.
Xiaomu	The Chinese foxgirl gives the Japanese foxgirl a look that's best and most simply described as 'somewhere beyond withering'. "If I have to ask you not to do evil things in every Japan in the Multiverse, one world at a time, then I will. But I didn't say 'this Japan' - I said 'any world' this time. And I probably should've been more expansive than 'don't rob banks' ..." She shakes her head. "And I don't feel like dancing. You dragged me away when we were just about to start a raid we've been planning for weeks. So instead of 'blade and spell' ..." She doesn't bother yelling 'high speed Xiaomu' like she would in some circumstances - just leaps in a high arc at Tamamo, coming down with an attempt to hook her arm around the kitsune's throat and slam her down on the floor, hard on her back. So ... pro wrestling, then?
Deelel	Deelel says "Its your Derezzing." That's all Deelel has to say to the Tenno and the heroic spirit. She looks at Kuskiko a she moves to rip the door off it's hinges she sees it' being moved and whelp she's got some ideas of what to do here she's going to be moving in on the Tenno in the hope she can use her natural speed to get to her and just tart trying to force her on the defence for the moment. She moves her weapon fast while she's quick she doesn't have the level of formal training that a Tenno would. Though from how she handles it she seems to be mostly learned by first hand experiance, who knows where though. "Let's see if you can dance." This action has also left her open to Tamamo if she wishes to strike Deelel in the back or make use of the Vault Door in some fashion against her.
Kushiko	Inwardly, from her Orbiter, from that mad cephalon's cradle, Kushiko might quietly smirk as it regards to 'dancing' when it comes to her Warframes. But she doesn't offer up anything to Deelel in counter. No, she takes advantage of her position to take to a short sprint, and /launches/ herself through the air, scything much akin to a humanoid bullet. Or a cyclone. Either way, she's assessed Deelel, and sent an energy-based tether back at the vault door that was summarily ripped from it's place post cutting--mostly so she can swing it like a battering ram as she uses her spin to add to the centrifugal motion to simply send her /flying/ if it connects, clawed hands warping reinforced steel and concrete that often makes up such things.
Tamamo no Mae	See, Tamamo was just about to use some High Speed Tamamo Divine Words to blast the Chinese Fox Girl into bits, but the sudden High Speed Xiaomu ends up with the Caster upon the ground and the other fox on top of her, with her throat being grabbed by Xiaomu! "Hrk... h..hey, you're being unnaturally rough here." she coughs out, "I never actually commited a crime here... yet." she whispers the yet part. The mirror, however, hovers right on the hand of the Caster-Class servant, still pulsing with magic... "Your raid can wait.." she coughs hard, being unable to breathe right now is a slight pain but... she moves her arm to bring the now electrified mirror down on the Chinese Fox Girl's back, trying to use it as a tazer to at least get up and properly fight! "GET... OFF... YOUR... QUEEN!" she moves to kick and struggle to try and get up and away, keeping down just enough to avoid getting hit by the now flying vault door.
Deelel	The battle is going on and he's facing down a Tenno she know she's no light weight from the reports she did pick up back in the day before the factions died. She moves rapidly but was not expecting the spinning Tenno which is comming right at her. She's force to leap away and she's caught in the wake of the attack. The damage is odd though on Deeel there's clearly a sound of implact like flesh but nothing akind to when a human or anything like it gets hit from that she's notevne bleeding b ut she's clealry acting like that hurt. "Tch, at least your not a wind bag. If I'm using the human term right." She now sizes up the Tenno thinking on her next plan of attack.
Kushiko	If Kushiko knows of Deelel, she doesn't let it show in her body language or otherwise. Easy to not let her show on her face, given the contours don't /allow/ for anything remotely expressive. Only the lights on the suit pulsing faintly. Nonetheless, the 'damage' without being damage or seeming to slow her down is enough to pair with that 'derezzing' comment to draw a comparison to the data simulacrums she's partaken of elsewhere. Virtual being? Hmn. <"If you say so. We're not."> She releases the vault door and pulls a sidearm that looks like it could be a sawn-off rifle, what with the high tech lever action look to it. Marelok leveled towards Deelel, she lets off a quick succession of shots, looking to drive Deelel further back while advancing herself. Yeah, she's not one for words, and for the task at hand, singularly focused on what's required.
Xiaomu	"YEOWCH!!!" It's kind of hard to dodge close-combat skulduggery when you're trying to pin an uncooperative opponent to the floor, and the electrified mirror shocks Xiaomu good and proper, making her body spasm briefly - and causing all her hair (and fur) to floof out, standing on end. On the plus side, it also helps keep her from scrambling to her feet or otherwise planting herself in the way of a flying vault door - which would probably have happened while she was moving to maintain a superior position. "If you think you're my queen," Xiaomu snaps as soon as she can form words again, "you've been eating unfinished natto and it's made you high. Why don't you go back in time to when you were seducing the Emperor?!" Now she kicks back to her feet (hair and fur still in disarray) and actually reaches down ... helping Tamamo to her feet? Or just getting her up to try and whip her across the bank lobby by her arm and send her slamming into the dislodged vault door? (She may be putting a LITTLE too much faith in pro-wrestling physics right now.)
Tamamo no Mae	Tamamo grins slightly at the yeowch, she did something good! She hurt the Chinese Fox! "Why would I ever eat unfinished natto!? You're the one eating rotten tofu for trying to stop me and collecting what's rightfully mine by royalty!" she smirks, "And I didn't just seduce him~" her tone becoming slightly playful, hinting at something to Xiaomu. Though, as she's helped up she blinks, "Eh? Helping Tamamo uppaaieeeeee!" and off she goes flying right towards the vault door... that might be already launching towards Deelel! Welp, now's a good a time as any, right? She kisses her ring gently as she lands back first against the door, "Oh Moon Cell, grant me your power." she whispers, kicking off the door with a wince. "Look, dearie, this is mine, this entire place is mine. I promised not to assault /your/ Japan or this other Japan, everything else is fair game~" with this, her motions seem almost like light speed, dashing here and there, smacking Xiaomu /and/ Deelel around with her mirror in an Extella Maneuver! Uninterrupted, she'll land herself right in front of the now opened vault. "Missed me?"
Deelel	The Tenno is a dangerous foe she knows that much she eyes it assuming almost. Deelel moves quiclly as the side arm which is the sort of fire power Deelel Muses an old ally or two would have adored, but that is all she's got time for as the shots fire. She sees the shot she moves she avoids getting hit this time but is force back, that's shen she grips the weapon in heroff hand. "Aero." A burst of high powered and focused air is launches from the keyblade right at the Tenno, who is still advancing. This is not the best situation for Deelel to be in at the moment.
Kushiko	For what it's worth the sudden blast of air from Aero is not necessarily something Tenno was expecting. It makes the shields simply /crackle/ and otherwise flicker dead, a pulsation of bluish light winking out in a moment. It staggers her backward from the impact, arms lifted otherwise. Seems Deelel isn't the only one who operates from that 'not my real body' sense, if the Tenno's body language is to be believed. Given what Tamamo's not only doing--but asking--especially with Tamamo's reposition, she quickly somersaults backward herself, and while her movements /are/ visible they're no less efficient and fast. <"Be careful,"> she murmurs softly amidst the air around Tamamo, somersaulting up and over her into the vault. And in turn, bolt straight for and attempt to start transferring money by gesturing with her hands. Which'll have twin cones of energy start decompiling the money into energy that is totally not what she might do when kidnapping--er--capturing, wanted people.
Reiji Arisu	There's a man standing next to the doorway. He has a shotgun. It's pointed vaguely in the direction of Tamamo's center of mass. "Not particularly. I deal with enough foxy antics every day, I'm just about capped out." The man has black hair, except where it's white. He has a red jacket except where it's silver. There's a scar across one side of his head. It's... None other than the other member of the Shinra Duo, Reiji Arisu! And he appears to have taken advantage of the confusion to somehow slip into the bank!? "Any more and I fear I might start turning into one myself." His eyes flicker towards his partner in anti-crime, "Xiaomu. It seems we have company. Do you want to deal with this one, or should I?"
Xiaomu	"Wha--?!" Then Xiaomu gets Extella Maneuver'd, smacking her this way and that like Tamamo's abusing movement glitches in one of the older Back-Alley Brawler titles. When Tamamo's speed runs out and Xiaomu gets to succumb to gravity's sweet embrace again, she just flops down on the floor, looking cross-eyed, before scrambling back to her feet as quickly as she can. "Why you - oh hey Reiji, what took you so long? Glad you could join us in stopping this bank robbery ..." She glances past Tamamo, where Kushiko is busy digitizing stacks of cash. "Which is now an ACTUAL bank robbery, invalidating all your protestations of innocence." She reaches into her vest, drawing her paired handguns, levelling one at Tamamo no Mae and the other at the Tenno. Deelel may still have the Tenno in hand, but if the media program turned digi-warrior needs some extra help, the sage fox is ready to provide it.
Tamamo no Mae	Well, that was new. There's a sudden shotgun aimed at her. "Mikon?!" a surprised noise comes from the Caster as she stares down not only a shotgun... but the fox has a pair of pistols too /and/ there's Deelel too with that magic waving keywand of hers! What did Tamamo do to deserve this! "But... I'm not robbing it, they are." she tries this defense once more, it's true, she /isn't/ the one doing the actual plundering... "But... no need for those, now... Tamamo's going to be nice...ish." Tamamo has a few things to think about... there's Kushiko doing the robbing for her... there's Reiji, Deelel and that other fox... and two of the three have guns, and one's a Caster-Class... How is Tamamo going to wiggle away from this one? "Okay, Tamamo will let you have the building... I think. Is that ok?" she grins at this, the mirror's flipped up into it's full view and multiple talismans are floating around the Caster-Class Servantfox... "How many peices did you want it in?"
Reiji Arisu	"Xiaomu," Reiji says of the other fox's sudden threat. "Seal her, if you would kindly."
Deelel	Deelel is expecting another attack of some sort but she'snot quite sure it seems they are going after the money? Well then she needs to do something about it. Money was something that Deelel took years to understand. Programs were made for a job and did it much like organics would breathe. She keeps he blade ready as she goes for the money, all right then. Deelel is after her with the keyblade in hand intanding to try to make a strike for the Tenno while they are grabbing the cash. She's also very fast herself and quite fluid in how she moves. She knows Xiaomu has her hands full with Tamamo. Still if she needs it she'll end up tangling with a Tenno which is no laughing matter.
Kushiko	Really, about the best benefit to having her do this instead of say, the slightly thieflike Tamamo is the fact that she's /durable/. Which is useful for the digitizing of as much money as she can, and as quickly as she can. This would continue had several things not occurred, least of which is Deelel attempting to go after her directly in response, the addition of Reiji in the area and Xiaomu attempting to exert some threat on her. Well then. There's only one thing she can do with that. And that's keep transferring as much as she can up until the very last minute--because a handy drone of hers, a Sentinel as they're called, turns around and orients itself at Deelel as she makes her approach--this one shooting the equivalent of a shotgun blast and being somewhat relentless about continually laying down some suppression fire at Deelel. Bless you, Carrier Prime.
Xiaomu	Xiaomu grins like she's looking at a large platter of fried tofu, holsters her pistols, and grabs her staff in almost the same motion before calling out, "Sage Fox Sorcery: Demon Gate Seal!!" In response to the invocation, a magic circle (well, 'magic square' if you want to be technical) is projected, centered where Tamamo no Mae is standing - and at almost the same instant, a bubble of mystical force forms, trying to trap the nine-tailed kitsune inside where she can't escape, can't attack, and can't dodge. Still, going from 'guns akimbo' to 'staff in hand' DID take a critical portion of a second, and if Tamamo was fast enough ...
Reiji Arisu	Time is only really an issue if Xiaomu moves unsupported. She is not unsupported. Her partner's standing right there. "Sorry for being late," he says as his oversized pistol slides into his other hand. "I had to find a babysitter. You know how it is." Reiji takes aim with both Gold and Hollywood-- though 'taking aim' is a bit of an overstatement of sorts. He has no need to go for a direct hit just yet. No, all he'd need to do is keep her pinned down. The Kimon would, ideally, make the rest of this substantially easier thereafter. "We're going to be taking this building back whole and intact, thank you," Reiji answers, finally. Hollywood roars, unleashing blasts of buckshot even as Gold fires enormous slugs downrange to try and pin the sorcerous fox down. If she's not careful, she might just get clipped. And if she doesn't realize that the noose is tighetning, she might just end up trapped.
Tamamo no Mae	Seal?! They're going to try and seal her in that rock again?!?! Oh no, she's not having this, not this time. Angry Tamamo is Angry! "God who resides in Izumo. Aesthetically certain, Breath of the soul. Residing in the mountains and watery heavens, Amaterasu. Let this freely become the proof of purification. Thy name is Weighted Stone of Tamamo. Become the sacred treasure, Mirror of Uka! Just kidding?" with it released, the area seems to change around... A lot of Torii gates spring up from seeiming nowhere, Tamamo bounces from her location with a bit of a struggle, off one Torii to another and she ends herself back where she's standing, floating in mid air. The talismans surrounding her horizontally now surround her vertically. What Tamamo doesn't know is that bubble forming around her... "Eightfold Blessings of Amaterasu!" Balls of Fire and Ice explode into view from those Talismans and launch themselves towards the three offending people: Reiji, Deelel and Chinese Worst Fox! FIVE Of those orbs explode into the bubble, the explosions covering Tamamo no Mae herself and leaving her a bit charred and frozen before the bubble breaks from the sixth... with the last two moving to crash right into the ground and explode.. partially trying to take out the building and partially trying to take out the three foes! She falls down to the ground soon after, stuck in place from the sealing square.... where she makes one last yell. "TENNO! HELP!"
Xiaomu	Xiaomu scowls, "Whaddya mean 'Amatera---' WHOA!!!" The Kimon Fuuji just got a LOT harder to hold, what with Tamamo cranking up her magical equivalent of a BFG-8000* and cutting loose from inside the Kimon Fuuji. Fortunately, the sealing technique actually lasts for a moment in the face of that kind of supernatural firepower, which is probably the lion's share of why Reiji, Xiaomu, Deelel, and any remaining not-evacuated civilians will still be here to talk about it later. But only for a moment ... and not quite as long as Tamamo's super move takes to play out. As satisfying as it is to see the ancient Japanese fox spirit hoist by her own petard, the backlash to Xiaomu from her efforts to sustain the seal, plus its abrupt and flashy failure, leave her wobbly on her feet and unable to dodge as one of the magic blast-orbs descends dangerously close to her ...
Deelel	Carriers, what happen when you make a roomba fly and give it a gun. Deelel finds herself comming uner fire and takes several hits, she does not bleed, no but the impact from one of the blats has caused her right flank to crack and bleed light. That's a pretty serious attack she hits the ground getting to cover, as best she can. Hey keyblade vanishes for the moment. She pulls the disc off her back, the edge humms to life and she fires it trying to bounce it off the wall, then the carrier and maybe even getting the tenno on a fruther rebound. Then comes an attack Deelel was not expecing and she's caught in an elemental blast and she's not looking very good but she would smell very strong to Tamamo and those who can smell such things. She aint' made of meat at all. She's also not looking too good either. She just made a rookie mistake and paid for it.
Reiji Arisu	Unfortunately, sorcery empowered by Maybe Actually Amaterasu seems to be able to bypass the sealing power of the Kimon Fuuji. Fortunately, Reiji is there to help absorb what could otherwise be a catastrophic impact. Or at the very least, to act as a meat shield for his presently preoccupied partner. "Earth swallows Water and is remade in Fire!" Reiji hisses, his handgun dropping away in favor of an electrified wakizashi. Chirai thunders as it breaks a fireball into so many smoldering cinders. Hollywood roars, hammering the enormous chunks of ice apart-- Water feeds Wood. But even countering the onslaught of elements with attacks of his own, Tamamo's spell is powerful enough to break through... And slams into Reiji, who is in turn standing in front of Xiaomu. "Keep up the seal," he growls over his shoulder as another fireball explodes across his chest. Chirai sweeps up to shatter a third, Hollywood fires to shatter another sphere of ice. "Keep her pinned down!"
Kushiko	There's screams of help. Then there's primal screams like the one that comes next. It isn't even a matter of course. She simply halts what she's doing even as the Carrier Prime attempts to keep Deelel delayed a bit--really, at this point Deelel would've gotten to her inevitably. But as she expected, Tamamo wouldn't be able to hold the fort down for long. The scream, of all things doesn't come from the voice without presence that has been heard before. It comes from Valkyr herself--a scream speaking to torment beyond words as the Warframe gestures, crossing arms and then unfolding them, now newly wreathed with energy, particularly half-foot long taloned claws from her hands as Deelel's attack finds it's mark--/but she just doesn't care/. She doesn't actually /try/ to hurt Deelel, but if that keyblade wielder is in her way as she hurtles forward, trails of energy from her talons scything the air, she will find herself in harms way. The scream brought with it teeming Void power that defies logic and reason, even to the mystical arts. Hysteria renders her a berserking warrior, that a short leap at high speed, she's a whirling cannonball of fury and power. And that power she uses to rake her claws into the sealing circle (square) itself with a dizzying spinning slash as she simply /rips/ a chunk of the floor up /and throws it/ upward like a makeshift wall. That still might keep going towards Reiji and Xiaomu. If it does, she doesn't care, she just wants something in between her and her movement to scoop up Tamamo with one arm and reposition her into a bridal carry to start making her escape by simply running--and using her own Hysteria-empowered body to guard.
Xiaomu	"Since when is the most viciously bloodthirsty kitsune in Japanese history and folklore connected to the Shinto sun goddess?" Xiaomu complains, scraping her concentration back together. That was a LOT of power she had to contain without much warning, and it's not so much 'keep up the seal' as 'rebuild it from scratch'. At least the projected square hasn't entirely faded yet - And then the Tenno is quite literally screaming along out of the vault, through the spot where Tamamo landed, probably with ill-gotten gains still in electronically compressed abeyance. "XIAOMU BLIZZARD!!" the sage fox yells, trying to conjure ice in the form of a 'ramp' that'll send Kushiko (and Tamamo) back the way they came upside down. Key word is very much 'trying' - because between the backlash from a broken sealing ward and the ear-piercing shrill of the Tenno's Void energy manipulation, Xiaomu's ability to focus is pretty much nonexistent. There's also that whole matter of a chunk of floor in mid-air ... And when Xiaomu realizes that potential threat, her ice-conjuration quickly switches focus to trying to make sure the flying chunk of architecture WON'T land on top of anybody. Because even as tough as Elites are, that would seriously cramp a body's style.
Deelel	Deelel is not having a good day at all here she's down she's been blasted with fairly powerfulmagic but as the Tenno copmes at her an idea forms in her pained mine as Kushiko comes at her she's trying to rise she sees the Valk she hears the scream she attemps to brace hersle as she grabs something that seems like a hockey puck a the passing Tenno. She'll attempt to lob it while yelling. "XIA WATCH THE EYES!" Then the puck will detonate in a massive blinding flash of light...
Reiji Arisu	"Amaterasu has done plenty of questionable things over the centuries," Reiji answers his foxy friend. "She once hid in a cave and was only enticed to emerge with a striptease and her own reflection. I'm pretty sure there's a non-zero chance that she could in fact be some manner of fox." With his daily sacrilege quota filled for the day, Reiji is free to focus on some more immediate concerns. Like an angry cyborg-cat hurling a slab of concrete at their heads, while also making a break for the exit AND saving Blue Fox from her incarceration via Gold Fox. "Xiaomu, I've got the rock," Reiji growls as he retrieves Gold from where it had fallen, "Focus on cutting off their escape!" The enormous gun roars in staccato rhythm with Hollywood's concussive discharge. Heavy metal slugs and rapidly expanding clouds of blessed buckshot tear into the concrete slab. It might just be enough firepower (and elemental interaction) to tear the rock apart.
Tamamo no Mae	Tamamo's down for the count, the fox used up most of her prana and is using what she has left to stay at least here in the physical. Her Master probably felt the massive surge of mana being used from her Noble Phantasm, but that scream... that ear-peircing scream has Tamamo cover her oh-so-sensitive ears to brace herself for what's coming next.... what else does this stupid Caster-Fox have to do to her now! Stolen from her stuck spot, the Caster squeaks a bit at the sudden bridal carry... "T..tenno~" And there's the Xiaomu Blizzard... to which not only probably gets crashed through by the Tenno's dash, but there's at least a gout of fire coming from the floating mirror to try and melt what doesn't get broken! "High Speed Tamamo!" she shouts, that puck though, flashes and gets the Caster-Class Servant, blinding her for a bit... what it does to the Tenno, though, is unknown, but for now... "I'm out of here!" she shouts... and with whatever the Tenno does.... the pair should make a decent escape at least!
Kushiko	The true power of what the Tenno did, of Valkyr is basically when she's in this mode, she's damn near impossible to physically /stop/. She'll suffer for it later, kind of a delayed reaction nigh invulnerability, but it'll do for needing to get the hell out of town and fast. With Deelel hurling that puck-like object, it might actually deter her a little bit. She actually moves an arm around to shield Tamamo from the flash itself because as blinding as it is, she memorized the layout of the place--and accounting for modest movements of where Xiaomu and Reiji were, in addition to that slab of the floor she ripped up, she pivots, uncurling one arm to fire an energy grapple to connect to another point--albeit /blindly/ as hell to slingshot herself, curling up into a ball with Tamamo at the center, dropping into a slide once she's clear. She's really not wanting to have a tussle with Xiaomu and Reiji anymore than she already has, Deelel's influence here not withstanding. The operator in the chair, however, is /super/ aggravated by that flash, even if the Warframe isn't. Damn you Dee. :\| Either way, they're haulin' ass out the door and to the Fox Dimension.
