Emergency Situations with Professor Blue

Aphelion dodged Leo's bullets and circled the field, assessing the situation. Finally, he decided to o something. He activated Heavenly Monkey Swipe on both arms and ran up a wall, as high as he could. He then bounced off, started spinning and activated Tiger Pack Ambush. Two clones of himself appeared in air, also spinning. They followed him own as he dropped like a bomb down towards the dog, hoping to strike down any form of defence around it and steal the hat with his mouth.

Myren hunkers down next to Riven to watch the remainder of the match. "interesting layout." he muses. folks actually working together, and using non-lethal weapons as well! what a nice change of pace from the practice arena"

"I am aware..." Leonius replied to Arthur, grinning under his mask. "But it requires you... to limit your movement... to relatively predictable vectors..."

He kept his movement as subtle as his casting would allow, and with how two-dimensional the strategic thinking of Arthur was, he didn't bother giving the armored man the cue to look up by looking at his symbol above him.

He relied only on the whistle and whoosh of displaced air as he slammed the barrier down at the man before noting Aoife's cry and Aphelion's approach. "Tch," was all he said, as he gestured to Viola to flank Mao, fired a spray of bullets at the three clones now that falling had made Aphelion's trajectory mathematically predictable, and waited for Aoife to approach his bunker before conjuring another barrier...

... Around where he expected Aoife's neck to be.

Still charging with reckless abandon, cause Issac isn't taking this seriously.

Aoife having decided that it would futile to attack Vox at close range even before she attacked Asher, doesn't head towards the walking tank, instead heading straight for the dog, she would vary her movements greatly as she yells to Arthur, "Take out Leo, I don't want him knocking me flying again as I wipe out their objective!"

Viola quickly sprints towards Mao, leaping towards him for the last 10 or so meters in an attempt to tackle him. As she does this, she notices ponytail heading towards the dog as well... and thinks Frell. this is not going to end well.

"I wouldn't call anything these guys use "non-lethal"... Though it is a nice change of pace."

Hearing the whistling noises and knowing they cannot mean something good was about to happen Arthur simultaneously drops to one knee and raises his shield above his head feeling the massive barrier forcing down on his shield. And he thinks I'm some kind of fool for not suspecting that "You're gunna have to try harder Leo my friend"

Aphelion managed to catch a glimpse of Leo aiming at him. Guess I have to use that. he thought. He began pouring more aura to his arms and, shifting and using the spinning to his advantage, constantly bounced back the rubber bullets with his Heavenly Monkey Swipe. His arms went limp but he kept pouring the energy into them, momentum kept him spinning.

"Step back or I'll slap you with a cannon blast!" Aphelion shouted.

"heh, yeah. Leo could probably weaponize marshmallows." Jet says with a bit of a laugh.

"Leo is dangerous, that's for sure. but then again, He is just kinda standing there. have none of them just shot at him? He seems to be using those barriers of his pretty offensively. there's got to be a gap somewhere."

Surprised by what seemed to be a metal disk flying towards him, Mao put up his left gauntlet in an attempt to parry the attack. Out of the corner of his eye,  he noticed the lady who had once been guarding the dog now approaching him. Geez... He stuck out his right gauntlet hoping that she would miraculously run into it while the disk ricocheted off his left wooden sword.

"Its two on one dude"
Zwei taunted as he raised his gun again aiming at maos legs to force his to move

Viola notices Mao attempting to block her with a gauntlet, and quickly places both arms on the ground to push herself in the air, spinning, and trying to land a strong kick to Mao's face.

"Cannons?" Leonius chuckled as he redirected his barriers, some of them dropping to focus power against Aphelion's descent. "I know a thing... or two about... CANNONS..."

However, looking at the situation, he snarled before pointing his arm at the dog...

... And opening fire on the hat.

"OBJECTIVE NEUTRALIZED, FALL BACK... PRIORITIZE COVER OF SURVIVING FRIENDLIES..."

Leonius redirected his barriers, allowing Aphelion down amidst another hail of bullets as he moved to keep himself and his barriers between the enemy and his 'surviving' allies engaging Mao.

Stopping at the sudden attack on their own objective, she looks around and spots Mao in trouble, dropping one sword, she draws White Dragon and uses it as a booster, going on a head on course to take out Zwei, she places the tip of the Spear in ground and curling, training sword coming down to attack him from behind. Though hitting the barrier, she turns back to glare at Leo, sheathing the spear again to let it recharge.

Issac sees Leo destroy the hat, and stops running around like a wild man. "Does this mean we win?"

Myren sat up and stared in shock at Leo as he blasted the hat off the dog.

"weren't they defending that?" He asks Riven

Arthur regaining his breath from holding his shield against the barrier Leo had forced down on him, stands back up to evaluate the situation. And notices the dog, and it's lack of hat. "Did we win?!"

His gun is aiming lower than he should be. What's he trying to, shoot out my legs? In the next instant, the girl was now in the air. I can't dodge one without getting hit by the other, and I can block neither. In a moment of desperation, Mao did a slight hop and brought his body parallel 3 feet of the ground and spinning.

(OOC: autohit granted)

"Yeah.... they were. Oh well.."

Ain't he a wise fella. thought Aphelion. As the barriers moved, he rebounded the last barrage of bullets and landed.
"Great decision." he mumbled quickly to Leo before biting the hat and running off with it in his mouth.

Viola feels her foot make contact with Maos body, though not with his face. Gracefully landing, she looks around and notices that Leo had ended the match early and glares at him the entire way over to yell at him.

((Autohit okayed in chat.))

Leonius waves Aphelion off, smirking under his helmet. "I have no interest... in needlessly expending energy in defending... a liability."

As he raised his hand and his symbol formed around Aphelion's neck, Leonius chuckled as he was suddenly stopped by the choking pressure he immediately dismissed after firing a few rounds into the pigtailed man's back.

"... But that... was clever..." He turned back to Arthur and Aoife, firing more shots at them as he turned to look back at Viola and waited for the inevitable torrent of verbal abuse.

Not expecting the shots now that they had finished, all of them hit her. Yelping from the sudden blows, she turns to face Leonius, in one swift motion she would draw both of her real swords, White Dragon lighting up in flames as she activates the red dust inside, "Do that again. And you will need to hope your bullets are faster than my burning."

Arthur raises his shield limply. then turns to Aoife "You know what, I don't even care, we won!"
