HAYATE

"...Gyeh?!" He tripped over his injured and dragging foot and went barreling into a stack of dusty chairs.

After a moment of contemplating the darkness, he slowly got up and leaned against a pillar, hoping it was at least somewhat intact, and drew out a single torch from the stash at his belt, then pulled out his lighter and lit the torch. It wasn't much to go by, but he preferred to not run into any cobwebs.

...Shit. Remembering his mask, he put the torch over the edge of a desk and looped the gas mask over his unkempt hair, but not before sliding a tab upwards to close one eyeslot. Depth perception wasn't important now, at least not as important as having one adjusted eye would be in case he ran into any hostiles. Grabbing the torch, he slipped down the corridors to where he knew there was a stairwell that linked this building to another.

It wasn't as if he hadn't broken into and explored almost every single building in the area.

Roland continued to smell and shrugged. "I'm a police officer. Your fellow hunters made the mistake of shooting at me. Which is a breach of the hunter contract. Which in turn allowed me to use the necessary force to neutralize the situation." He walked closer to Makoto until he was within an arms reach of her MP7. "Well I hope your gun fires then. The others found it rather difficult and probably rather strange that their guns wouldn't fire when they pulled the trigger."

[Straywolf]

Makoto stood her ground, refusing to move back as the officer approached her. She glanced at her MP7, and tested the man's words. She pulled the trigger, but no bullets fired. ...Strange. My gun was working awhile ago. She kept the gun pointed at the officer's head, hiding any sign of surprise from the officer.

"I'm sure the Hunters wouldn't have fired at a police officer if the said officer wasn't inside a Skull Gang's base." Makoto paused. If my gun isn't working, then close-quarters-combat would be the only thing that would work. However... She stole a quick glance at the dead bodies of the Skull Hunters. ...seeing what damage he's done to those unfortunate Hunters, I'm putting myself at a huge disadvantage. She looked into the officer's eyes. "What were you doing inside there anyways."

[Trakadon]

Roland turned his back towards Makoto and walked towards the pile of hunters were he saw one of them had started to crawl out from under his fallen comrades. He raised his right foot and slammed it down on the hunters head and only a slight groan escaped the mans lips before falling completely still. "Oh I was a prisoner." Roland removed his foot from the hunter's head after he was satisfied that he wouldn't be moving any longer.

[Straywolf]

Makoto lowered her MP7 as she watched the officer put the injured Hunter out of his misery. She reached for her earpiece, checking if it was still on. I hope HQ is hearing all of this. This bastard is more of a threat than the Skulls we're hunting down. I don't care if he's a police officer or not. He took down a whole group of Hunters on his own.

"..." Makoto took a deep breath. She dashed at the officer, who was only a few feet away, and took out her knife. She lunged at him with her knife.

[Trakadon]

Roland turned around and caught the blade of the knife between his index and middle finger of his left hand. "Oh dear... It appears you just committed a crime... Attempted murder of a police officer." He sighed softly. "It seems like you will be joining you comrades after all."

[Straywolf]

Makoto's attack failed. She grit her teeth in frustration, seeing the officer's inhuman ability. What? How did he...? Makoto desperately threw a punch, hoping to stumble the officer and make an escape.

[Trakadon]

Roland let the punch hit him in the center of his chest. "That was rather pathetic..." He sighed once again. "But I guess you understand the situation you are in." He released his hold on the knife blade and pushed Makoto back. "I guess you were more bark then bite in the end."

[Dawn]

The sound of the explosions could be heard from the street where Chloe was at. She stopped for a moment, her lips setting in a thin line. That made her decision up for her, there was no way she taking any alley ways home. The police and hunters probably heard the explosion and all the alley ways would be thick with them.
Shifting her labtop under her arm, Chloe glances around and decides to take the route across the nearby bridge. Around halfway across the bridge, she notices Ashton. Not really sensing any danger from the girl, she was probably a candy skull, Chloe stops a few feet away, seeing that Ashton is deep in thought.
"You know, it's not really safe to be sitting there, day dreaming," Chloe says in a calm voice, if the girl wanted to fight than let her make the first move, if not, than there wasn't no harm in being a little social, "The whole area is probably going to be flooded with police and hunters soon."

[NikkoGallarado]

Ashton looked over her shoulder to the other person from who they where it was a Tech Skull. "Not so much day dreaming just wondering" she said getting up from her place. "Yeah I know they would be around here in a while after everything else but now something is happening that way near the flame skulls." leaning on the rail then pointing out. "Hey your a Tech can you tell me something about someone who is with in your group? I miss him, an old friend of mine." looking over to the girl and smiled at her. "You don't have to if you don't want."

[Dawn]

"Most likely, it's not just the flame skulls involved," Chloe responds, staring out at where Ashton points before sitting down her labtop and leaning on the railing of the bridge, "All depends who your referring to. Through might not be safe to discuss tech stuff or members around here."

[NikkoGallarado]

"True, right now no where is good to talk about anything not even simple conversion with someone you pass by is even safe with is what id going on. Also I wanna leave this place soon any how cause there is some coming this way, I know he is not friendly person over all." her gaze moving to a figure moving down in the ally ways down below. "I know we can go to this place where many skulls go just to get a bite to eat no one really remembers it but its a nice place to go." as she placed her hands into hoodie pockets skipped off to the other side of the bridge.

[Dawn]

"Hm, I suppose no member of the techs can really afford to be nice, all the other skulls want our secrets," Chloe picks up the labtop, "and I agree. Even the pavement seems to have ears these days. The cafe sounds fine, I am dying for a cup of coffee anyway."

[Reyoki]

Maki reached the other side of the building and gazed out of a window. She could see several Hunters approaching the area. Not wanting to get into a confrontation with the crazy bastards, she decided to extend another catwalk to the next building by melting down some exposed plumbing from the building she was in. "I'd better not get shot at while I'm out here," she thought to herself as she traversed the gap. She could hear gunshots and explosions from the direction of the base and grumbled in dissatisfaction. She hated having to relocate on such short notice!

[NikkoGallarado]

Ashton made her way down to the side of the bridge crossed over to a work zone moved though it like a cat looking for a place to just sit and enjoy one's self. Her two tone color hair playing behind her while moving along, then looking back at the other. "Sorry this is only way I know to get to the small cafe' I hope you dion't mind also watch your step." as she jumped on to beam walked across it with out a care in the world.

[Dawn]

Chloe raises an eyebrow, "Can't get any more creative than this to get to the cafe," she remarks as she carefully follows Ashton across the work zone and the beam, "Through kind of wish now gym wasn't the only subject I had failed in school."
