"I did not," Nathan hissed, checking his pocket as suggested. Oh. Huh. He took a glance at the note. That was nice... leave a ******** note. If it worked and he did show up, Nathan would be driving out, that was all he knew.
"Well... we have another compatriot out and about trying to get us weapons, I think... we'll need to grab him before we move."

Anatoly found nothing. There was one Sticker beyond those that were currently active, but he could not, for some reason, tell what it was.
The amount of active Stickers was rapidly draining his energy. The blows were loosening his focus. His situation was very rapidly deteriorating.
---
"How many more of you are there?" Tech asked.

"First of all..." Anatoly muttered as he reached a wall.
Ka-crack
A section of the wall crumbled beneath his strike. He promptly deactivated both stickers, released the person he'd dragged out as Pitch Black powered down, and crept away.

Hearing what sounded like a cross between a wrecking ball and an explosion Mike saw Anatoly coming out of a newly formed hole in the wall. He drove up near him, rolled down a window and said loud enough for him to hear over the commotion still going on inside, "Hey, get in!" He then though to himself, I didn't think I'd find Anatoly here, but judging from his exit he has a new mysticker, that should be helpful.

Anatoly was just hearing Mike when long lines of streaming energy whipped out of the hole in the wall and grabbed him. He was jerked off his feet and pulled back into the room, losing grip on the man he had grabbed.
The man, confused, ran away screaming.
Now that Pitch Black was off, Anatoly could see five men, standing over the fallen bodies of apparent non-Blazers. He couldn't see Hawke at the moment, but he assumed that the police chief had made his own way out. Not that Anatoly could blame him.
The sound of Stickers powering up. It appeared that there were a couple more Blazers in the back room, since he could hear their Stickers.

Sarah added, "There was another guy - the one with the ******** up leg. And didn't the dude getting weapons have a girl with him?" At Nathan's nod, she looked back at the Generals. "So yeah. We've got 3 other friends out there. 4 if you include the guy that just left." She scratched the back of her head, wondering what the hell they were going to do now.
She smiled brightly at the Generals while walking up to them. She held her hand out to Psyche. This is the dude that didn't attack us. "Well now, it's a pleasure to meet you," she said cheerfully. Her right hand being out for a handshake, Psyche got a surprise punch to the face from Sarah's left hand. Anybody who really knew Sarah knew that she was never that cheerful. EVER.
"The name's Sarah," she muttered darkly. "I'd have hit your bro, but hell if I know if it's him or another damn copy. ******** with me again, and I'll hunt you down and leave your carcass as a sign for everyone else to never mess with me." She returned to Nathan's side, calmer than she was before the surprise fight; it seemed she got her payback and was happy with it. "Now that we've gotten that nasty little business over with, we ought to go find Anatoly. Mike - the Blazer Black - should be easier to find, thanks to Nathan's note." Seeing the faces of the Generals, she added, "he isn't a bad guy, you know."

Anatoly swiped Pitch Black and overcharged Giga-Arm. In a single leap, he rushed through the darkness and slammed the overcharge strike at the Blazer who'd dragged him back in.
THWUNK
The strike - moving at "only" 60 mph due to Anatoly's lack of experience - launched his target somewhere Anatoly could not and did not particularly feel the need to see. He promptly turned and ran back to Mike's van. "Drive!" he hissed, deactivating Pitch Black again.
He slapped the fourth sticker - the one that had been in his hand - onto his other arm and checked what it was.

Mike hit the gas as soon as Anatoly was in the car, taking off down the road. After about a minute he slowed down to only a little over the speed limit and pulled onto a road with a higher speed limit making sure that no one was following him first. He then said to Anatoly, "So you've got Pitch Black and Giga-Arm, how many others did you get, and what are they?" He was genuinely happy to have Anatoly back. He was a better fighter than him and probably a better tactician too, plus they now had more powerful mystickers, along with a few new enemies too, but that would have to wait for now. He kept watch for police and kept only a bit over the speed limit while waiting for Anatoly's answer. He wasn't sure if he should head back to the hotel or not. He figured it might be a good idea to give Nathan some time to cool off, or wait for his call, or both.

Anatoly was about to answer when there was a strange hum. He and Mike looked at each other for a second before there was
BAM
and then the car was gone. Mike was thrown into the air, had time to spin around, then hit the ground with a thump. He was about four yards from the wreckage of the car.
Anatoly, on the other hand, was thrown straight out...wait, not thrown...pulled. He had been seized by something just before the explosion. He didn't have time to ponder it, though, as there were several Blazers closing on their position; he could sense them.
It was clear that he was not going to avoid this fight. Luckily, he looked down to see the Sticker he had just applied to find...SKULLTAP?!

"Well, well. I missed you, little b*****d," he muttered as he removed Skulltap and reapplied it to his right arm, getting the Mystickers spread evenly.
He swept Skulltap, forcing a little of his energy into it, sharing some with the Electric 4 on his left arm.
"Careful," he called out to Mike. "They have strong materiel. Don't underestimate them."

"And here I thought we were finally going to have it easy. Oh well, it's not as much fun that way anyways." he said getting up. He activated his mysticker and summoned up a sword and shield. He would need more defence right now. He primed his sticker again so he would be ready to use some of his favorite attacks, or an emergency defense. He wondered who they were under attack by this time. He figured it was probably the people from the bar, but figured it could just as easily be Indigo Rose back to try and finish them off. He thought about asking Anatoly for another mysticker, but figured that it would be best to stick with what he already knew, maybe later he see what he could get.

As he put the energy into Skulltap, he felt a sudden backlash that literally tossed his head back. His mind was reeling from the mental pain as the attacks began.
A kinetic blast caught him in the chin. As he lifted back, a second blast hit him in the gut, knocking his breath out. Luckily, this strike caused his Giga-Arm to flail in front of him in just the right second to intercept a bolt of lightning that nonetheless threw him, smoking, into a building.
And this was all from one of the Blazers facing him. There were four others. Anatoly was in for a rough time until he changed his goddam attitude regarding EDEN.

"Oh, hey..." Anatoly mumbled. "Giga-arm is back." He forced a bit of power into it, bringing it to full strength, and ducked behind the wall.
Now, Skulltap needs to get in line. He probed it gently with his mind, attempting to discover the cause of the psionic backlash.

Sihl watched as this happened, wincing as Anatoly went through the air. "Great, we're completely ********, once again." he said aloud to himself. He ran and dived into the building too, hoping the cover would help. "Any ideas?" he said to Anatoly as he looked over the window and fired some ice shards at the group, figuring that hopefully worst-case scenario would be him figuring out what other types of mystickers they had. He then though to himself, Maybe if we can beat them we'll be able to take their mystickers too. and then he realized that was one hell of a maybe after what he had just witnessed.

Anatoly could sense nothing from Skulltap; not that nothing was wrong, but nothing.
Giga-Arm, in the meantime, was raring to go.
