Flames danced on the concourse. Ryu knew the ten minutes were already over and he still had the two Espers to contend with. Judging by the masked girl's ability, she had to be at least a level four.Â<br/><br/>She seemed familiar, that confident aura she radiated... he wanted to see the face behind the mask.Â He was about the throw a flaming whip out for her face when Claude stepped in.<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>Claude glanced at his watch. Time was up and Weiss had yet to be eliminated. He sighed, it was so troublesome to get your hands dirty, though it was sometimes unavoidable if you wanted a job done. He stepped down from the metal platform, his hand sliding up into his coat. "That's enough Mister Hakusan, stay on standby."<br/><br/>Something, a flash of light told him that there was someone else inside the reception area. Whatever, he would have to hunt them down later. Claude took out a G18 automatic pistol and flicked the safety off. Thirty seconds to Capacity Down. He placed some sort of ear piece device in each of his ears and stepped forward, raising the pistol.Â<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>"What about him?" Ren pointed at Chase who was busy ripping the insides of the Psychomasks out.Â<br/><br/>"Leave him... still get... caught anyway..."<br/><br/>"Alright." Ren stretched an arm out and caught Stella's wrist, "Let's-"<br/><br/>"-Go." They were outside on the concourse. A battle had raged and completely transformed the area with flames and blue vapour marking the distinct territories of the combatants.Â<br/><br/>Before he could teleport Vanessa and Stella a safer distance away, there was a continuous blast of sound which seemed to prevent him from moving. It was as though a swarm of ants had dropped on his flesh and was crawling everywhere.Â<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>Alyssa sat up as an announcement was made. "All Anti-skill on standby, it is green in district nineteen." She leaned down and tightened her boots and began running towards the nearest APC.Â<br/><br/>She was first into the van so she waited for a short while before she was joined by the rest of the fire team.Â<br/><br/>"What is going on?"<br/><br/>A male voice came through the speakers in the interior of the truck, "Some explosions rocking out at one of the facilities. Apparently it is quite bad, I heard they are mobilising two helicopters. They are getting authorisation for that right now. We have to take care of a fire too."<br/><br/>Alyssa winced as sunlight filtered through as the vehicle bay doors opened. "What are we dealing with?"<br/><br/>"Someone said it was a brawl between a group of Espers. The facility staff stated that there were several test subjects of sensitive nature and there are some gun totting chaps too."<br/><br/>"Meaning?"<br/><br/>"Meaning we can use live rounds too."<br/><br/>Someone whistled, but Alyssa decided to use the stun gun anyway. Someone else asked, "Do we get to use explosives too?"<br/><br/>"No." And when there were half-hearted protests, the voice continued, "Clam it Michael, stop being a hippie."<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>Yassen groaned from his position on the ground. That sound... he quickly redirected it, his abilities slightly sluggish due to the effects of synthesia caused by the sound waves. He could not move just yet but his fingers managed to twitch a little.Â
