Trau watched the cyborgs maneuver through the destruction; he assumed he was hidden from view or sensors. He picked one-- a stray wire or...something...hung from its neck, apparently broken free and loosened in the firefight. It moved with the reflexes of a cat wearing socks, it's leg servos twitching in an odd, off-kilter manner. That was the one.
He waited until it was close enough, and then erupted from hiding, blade drawn and fierceness registering in his eyes.
The fierceness was broken when the cyborg, not as distracted as Trau though it was, turn and grabbed Trau by the neck, lifting him a full 3 feet off the ground. Her eyes, shades of humanity lost behind wires and scrambled memory chips, scanned his retinas, looking for contact. She...it...squeezed Trau's neck, and he could feel the body plating shift beneath his skin. "Submit to save destruction."
"Lady," said Trau with a sudden fit of laughter, "even if you did, I wouldn't feel it."

Mark turned his head and noticed Trau in trouble but before he could move another cybrog had noticed him. Mark jumped behind a different table and left off a few rounds at the cyborg.
"Hey try to stay alive a little longer would ya? I'll try to get over there when I can" he shouted towards Trau. Mark then drew out his vibro dagger, leapt over the table and charged the Cyborg he had shot at earlier. If he could get past this guy he could help Trau, if Trau needed it.

~Leadstorm popped back up to take aim agian, but his vision was blurred by a cyborg hand grabbing his face. He was too close to use the explosive shells without being hit by the blasts himself. his own hands went to the cyborg's wrist and he tried pulling himself away. The cyborg started to try and say something, but its voice box had been damaged in the fight. He felt the rush of being rapidly lifted and thrust backwards. The cyborg was going to try and smash his head into the mirror behind the bar. Leadstorm swung his legs up and wrapped them around the cyborg's shoulder, hoping his fleshy body had enough strength to damage the elbow joint or sever som links and get free...~

Mark ran at the cyborg in his path, and clicked on his vibro dagger. He then dove at the borg and repeatedly stab and slashed at it while trying to doges it's retractable claws. Then the claws and the dagger met and Mark lost grip of his dagger and it skid across the floor. So Mark did what anyone in this predicament would do He pulled out the pistol again and let off the last 3 rounds at the Cyborg, two in the head and one in the heart.
Out of ammo and still waiting for Leocadia to Comm him back He chucked the pistol to the side dove into a roll grabbed his dagger and made a sprint for the bar. "Hopefully one of those bastards hasn't tried to use my minigun" he thought to himself while weaving and doging from table to table with just a vibro knife.

"Submit," repeated the cyborg. She squeezed on Trau's neck tighter, and he could feel the body plating beginning to strain.
He coughed out a "No" and pulled his legs up. Two options, thought Trau, One, I kick at this b***h until she lets go. This could work, but it could also pop my head off the top of my neck like a flower head being popped off of a stem. Two... He smiled, and then winked at the cyborg. The cyborg began to squeeze tighter.
Trau let his punching dagger spike out from his arm, and then drove it as far as he could into the cyborg's side, searching...
No...
No...
Y-No...
Yeah. That's the sweet spot. He pressed in harder, and then felt the handle strap snap. The blade separated from his hand. When he felt the grip loosening, he kicked his legs up, put himself in the fetal position, and then pressed out with his body, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon. The cyborg's grip was loosened just enough for Trau to slip out of her grasp.
He sat on the ground, looking up at the cyborg sputtering, the punching dagger stuck in her side. "Honey, I told you I wouldn't feel it...although," Trau stretched his neck and shook his head, "...I might be a little stiff in the morning." Trau stood up, drew his katana, and then drove it in the same hole the punching dagger was stuck in, and then pulled hard. He heard the metal-on-metal screech as his blade drew across the cyborg's plating, and then felt the blade give.
"You're dulling my blade." The cyborg collapsed to the ground, it's entire left side paralyzed. Trau walked over to it and pulled his punching dagger out. "Thank you."

~Leadstorm pulled with all he had an thecyborg's arm, hoping to hear something pop. He kept pulling as his head met with the glass and the sprinkles of mirror rained down on his head and the cyborg's hand. He kepyt pulling as the shards cyt ito his skin, as the blood ran down his face. He pulled because it was keeping him consious. He focused on his mechanical side. his eye, his ear, his arm... all the circuts, wires, and hydraulics.... the add-ons... the phone, the wolvers....
'The wolvers' His mind flashed as he neared unconsiousness. He let go with his cybernetic arm, drew it back, and drove his fist into the cyborg's wrist, extending the wolvers as he made contact, tearing apart wires, servos, tubes, lessening the hand's grip until he could breathe again. He twisted the blades, digging in further and causing more damage. he finally heard two snaps and the hand went limp. He pilled his hand back to strike again, still armbarring the cyborg with his legs and 'fleshy' arm. his face free of the grip, he could see what he was doing. he slashed at the cyborg's throat, his chest, his stomach. Anything that looked vulnerable. He let his hold loose and stopped swinging as the cyborg fell to the ground, with only the occasional twitch as signs of movement.
Only then did he notice the piece of steel protruding from the hand that had been holding him, and the missing wolver blade on his own hand. "You son of a b***h!" He exclaimed, driving his steel toed boot tread into the face of the cyborg. "Who the hell am I going to get to fix this on my budget?!" Another stomp. "Who the hell is going to pay for the damage to my ear and eye?!" the toe of his boot sunk into the soft flesh of an esophagus. "And who the hell is going to reimburse me for my Ammo!?!" He continued kicking the lifeless shell and screaming at it, lost in his own world of anger and frustration.~

Trau back over toward Leadstorm, his katana still drawn, and his eyes darting around the room, watching for someone...or something...to zero in on him. He yelled over his shoulder to Leadstorm, "Do you think next time we party we should pack more heat?"

Trau Mir Trau back over toward Leadstorm, his katana still drawn, and his eyes darting around the room, watching for someone...or something...to zero in on him. He yelled over his shoulder to Leadstorm, "Do you think next time we party we should pack more heat?"~Leadstorm stopped stomping at hearing Trau's comment, like he had been pulled from a trance. He looked back, and responded "YEah, you should deffinately always come to these parties with at least a few spare clips..." He looked down at his boot as he took a step, then turned and kicked the cyborg corpse again. "And now, thanks to you you b*****d, I need a new pair of Boots!" He then walked over to the other side of the bar and sat on one of the remaining stools. "Check, please" he said to a bartender that had long since ran out to escape the mayhem~

Landing in the middle of the dance floor rubble, the heavily scarred and damaged Project 04 quickly assessed that it's personal bodyguard was mostly taken out and it would have to revert to it's backup escape plan. Abrumptly the tell tale hum that could only be described as a giant swarm of dragonflies deafens the building and spotlights flood though the new holes in the ceiling casting the machine in an almost pure blue-white light.
In an instant, the Wintermute raises it's arm and fires a tethered projectile that contacts the SENTINEL roto-copter and rips her though the opening.
"He should of taken the offer, the fool." The machine says to itself. "He should know he's only slowing me down. He cannot stop me now, nothing can."

Asher had run out the door as fast as she could with the burden on her back, slamming open the door and busting out into the street. The street was oddly deserted; news seemed to have spread of the disturbance, and civilians had fled the area. Asher thought she could perhaps see people lurking in the shadows, watching, as if waiting for something.
Suppressing a shudder, she hiked the girl a little higher on her back and made her way down the side of the street as fast as she could. The more distance she could put between this part of town and herself, the better. The eyes of the shadows behind her were burning into her back.
'go go go go ugh, girl, you are *heavy* here we go gotta get out of here here we go almost there almost there almost there...'
It was several more blocks before Asher felt safe enough to slow down, although it was exhaustion more than anything that finally forced her into a side alley. Asher collapsed to her knees, letting the girl slip down beside her. She was panting heavily, sweat dripping down her back. Despite her best efforts, she was still fighting down waves of nausea. Several minutes passed as she tried to catch her breath.
Finally, when she was fairly sure her heart wasn't going to beat its way out of her chest, and that she wouldn't lose her lunch in the nearby dumpster, she sat down, back against the wall, looking to the sky as if it might have the answers. The alley was almost completely pitch black; the only light was the soft glare of a few nearby LCD screen advertisements.
'What the damn hell am I going to do with you?' she asked aloud, wryly, at the unconscious teenager. Her mind was beginning to function again in something that resembled logic. She mentally switched on her subdermal comm, and thought out Simone's number. 'You better pick up, after putting me through this night..' she muttered, listening to the tiny ring in her ear.
Six or seven rings later, Asher disconnected the call, and sat back. Worry nibbled at her; it wasn't like Simone to ignore her calls. 'God, I hope she's alright...' She glanced over at the sprawled figure beside her, which still had not moved an inch. Blood was seeping through her clothes, she was pale as a sheet. 'God, I've got to get you to a hospital...'

"Dammit!" Calder screams when he wakes up 30ft away from where he remembered being. "That's the last time I let a cyborg throw me through a wall." He mutters and waits for his cybernetics to come back online so he can see and push himself up. With his vision granted again, he realizes how much damage there is. Not only did he pass through the wall seperating LEVIATHAN from the halls, but she managed to hurl him through one of the LEVIATHAN towers itself! Ranewater also notices that none other than leocadia lies crumpled against the LEVIATHAN door. The gash on her forehead indicates that she was hit with a piece of the wall that he broke through.
"You tried 'Cade, you tried. That's all I can ask of you. Better get you up and at it. We have work to do." And with gentle hands, he pulls her up to a sitting position and links up to her to try to jolt her out of sleep. He finally smiles when her eyes start to flutter open and links to DoM to get a search out for Wintermute.

"Dom! Dom! What's the status report for the bar? Send it to me on your way to the SAAS's. I'll activate them. I need you and anyone you can find to take them and find out where Wintermute is heading. Hurry though, she'll go back into hiding as fast as possible now that I know her intentions. Get mark to help you. He's pretty good at that kind of s**t and I saw the look on his face when he saw the CENTAURS earlier."

"You don't pay me enough for this crap!" Dom replies to Calder and his new task. Regardless of his protest, he still looks for Mark and some people that might like a joy ride in a new S.A.A.S.
"Hey! Any of you guys want to join a hunt for that crazy cyborg girl? We get to take those CENTAURS over their!" He yells at the survivors. "Lots of creds too!" He bluffs, doubting that those with little enough sense to join him would survive long enough to get paid. The Heli seemed to be heading twards Spire . . . this night is just beginning it seems.

"Where were you guys, I called for a S.A.A.S an hour or so ago!" Mark answered angerdly over the comm as he picked up his minigun and proceeded to scan what was left of the club.
"The Club is a wreck now, there are many cyborg corpses on the ground, not to mention several broken walls, numerous busted tables, and bullet holes wherever you look." he continued over the comm, in a calmer tone.
He proceeded to move towards the security check room " and Calder, if you need any armaments for the S.A.A.S units I can check what I have in stock for you." He stated over the comm as he reached the Security room.

Negative Mark. I need you guys to follow the cyborg and set up a parameter for now. Follow it where ever it goes and keep me informed. If we have the manpower, I'll let you run off to your stockpile and deck them out however you want. But right now I need you guys on the move pronto. Don't worry about the club, it'll be rebuilt. Can't knock me down that far.
