Just after the officer told her what was going on, Arianna manged to hear a few loud sounds coming from the direction he indicated.  "Doesn't sound like this is going too well for them...  Sorry, but I need to get through," she said as she snapped her fingers, and a brief flash of light enveloped her.  The light shrank, until it formed a vague oval shape over her left forearm, and a long rod from her right hand.  A second later, the light flickered out of existence, revealing a gleaming sword and shield.  As soon as her weapons were in her hands, she pushed her way past the bewildered officer, rushing down the streets towards the sounds of the fight.
