Fenrir Fenix ((Ah, I see. Maybe I staged it wrong. Gamma falls back and rolls with it, jabbing his elbows out to roll back further and bring a leg up for his kick. If it takes too long then it would miss, or Opaj would dodge, right?)) ((The problem, it seems to me, isn't the attack itself, but the position it was intiated from. Gamma was bent back, and this isn't a good posture to roll from- it's possible, but it eats up the momentum that the roll would usually carry. Hence, the slowness. If you have a problem with my response, I'm more than happy to hear you out.))

Taking this opportunity with Gamma down, and opaj out of the way, Angel decided to make her move. The man probably didn't even know she was present, so the attack should be a surprise for him.
The pendant around her neck flickered as she called upon a light spell. Throwing her arm forward, she opened the palm of hand and released a ball of light towards the man's upper body, which should give the armored man a nice shock, since it was a ball of electricity.

((It's alright Opaj. If something would miss, say so and move on.))
With the swinging weight of his leg Gamma tucked his chin down as the world rolled over the top of his head and shoulders. Rather he pushed himself hard enough to pivot from the ground and land face down. Catching himself with his forearms he pushed himself to his knees.
Sensors spiked heat on the front of his armor and Gamma could feel the heat start to conduct through the plating. Atmospheric controllers on his internal suit flared and tried to adapt. Something else hit him. Static hissed and cascaded into nothingness as the air ceased to ionize in front of him. The ceramic plating of his armor was nonconductive. Gamma pushed off with his right arm and leg rolling to the side and grabbing a canister grenade from his lower back. With any luck the new positioning would get him out of the heat but if not a flashbang would certainly stop things.
A small ping as Gamma's thumb jerked and under handed the canister into the air. A moment later it would explode in a white flash that would temporarilly blind and deafen anyone in the area.
((Edited, and good timing Rage. Wasn't sure how long I could have stayed on.))

((So, do we want to continue, or shall we pause it for now? I probably won't be on when we continue if we pause it now, but I think Rage will... sweatdrop ))

((I was considering an escape for Gamma. Even as a psychopath he has had lots of training which points him to run. Be pretty easy with that flashbang about to go off.))

((opaj would be able to at least try and follow him... although it seems unlikely that he would try. He would have no problem keeping track of Gamma himself, it's just the terrain would provide some difficulty. xp So... okay.))
"HURG!" opaj suddenly found the world in confusion, he tottered backwards. However, he was trained to be single-minded, and soon he was able to get his bearings with the help of his sixth sense.
Jumping immediately forward, he aimed a swing with his left arm at where he approximated the back of Gamma's neck would be. His aim wouldn't be 100%, since his sixth sense wasn't that sharp, but he did get a feel for Gamma's general dimensions.
((Addendum: Feel free to get away. I imagine that no normal sword-strike could really get through the armor, and opaj really couldn't follow Gamma pretty far if he decides to run.))

Angel let out a small cry as her ears rung with a deafening sound. She hit the ground behind her, unable to see anything after that.
"Gah! I'm blind!" She yelled, not realizing the pitch her voice was at, considering she couldn't hear herself. With a slight tinge of panic, she tried to feel around her. "I'm dead!"

Gamma's lense switched to infrared to spare Gamma's eyes from flash while he tuned his audioreceptors down to avoid the bang. Opaj wasn't being persistant but foolish. The IR image of Opaj was moving forward for another strike as Gamma came to his feet. Opaj and Gamma were both stepping into it.
His arm came up for a half crossblock to keep Opaj's left sword in the air, Gamma's left hand, knife included, followed with a sweeping slash to Opaj's left pectoralis major (Edit: Mixed up the muscle groups. The one on the front of your arm pit.). A quick slash that Gamma aimed to cripple Opaj's left arm and keep that sword out of commision.
Following through the strike, Gamma pushed Opaj aside with his forearm and broke into a run. Not satisfied to leave things like they were, Gamma primed and half-heartedly tosses a tear gas canister to Rage's feet as he proceeded on. Sprinting down the road and taking the corner swiftly. The canister should be spewing enough acrid white smoke to obscure vision and draw attention as their eyes teared up and throats stricken with coughing.
((Sorry Opaj, couldn't let you get away untouched. This is still Gamma we're talking about. I know you've got a healer lying around there anywho.))

opaj swallowed his pain as he felt the familiar sensation of a muscle being severed, his fingers involuntarily spasmed, releasing the blade in his hand. Even so, he retained his focus, preparing to thrust at Gamma with his right- until Gamma broke into a run.
opaj cursed under his breath. Actually, he shouted a curse, because he had no volume control due to his temporary deafness. But as far as he knew, he cursed under his breath.
Wearily sheathing Utou, he bent over and picked up Raitou, his deep connection with the blade allowing him to find it quickly. Both weapons now sheathed, he walked calmly towards Angel, kneeling by her and reaching out for what he thought was her arm- it was actually her back, but it was close enough.
He knew better than to try speaking to her, and with the old telepathic network out of commission, all he could do was sit with her.

((Good game. Yeah, opaj kinda deserved to be slashed in the arm for that. But as far as he knew, Gamma was going to finish them off while they were blinded, so he had little recourse but to try to put him down before Gamma could do the same.))
A little time passed. opaj's vision and hearing returned, and the intense pain in his arm had gone from sharp to dull. He looked down at Angel. He knew that her vision would be returning soon too, although her hearing would probably take longer than his.
Shedding his jacket, he looked her in the eyes than pointed to the deep cut in his arm. Hopefully this got his point across.
((Doing a time lapse, since I doubt anyone would interrupt us in the time it'd take to recover anyway. xp ))

"I think we're okay, for now," opaj said to her, exaggerating the movement of his lips to help her understand.
Blinking, he got back to his feet. He felt badly that they had let themselves get trounced by a single opponent, no matter how heavily-armored said opponent was. He also acknowledged that, if they were to face him again, they couldn't give him an inch of wriggle-room. He also realized that they had to do everything in their power to avoid facing him and his ally at the same time.
That said, he set about mentally preparing himself for whatever came next.
((And with that... I'm out.))

Angel let out a small laugh, watching opaj move his lips as he spoke. She nodded in understanding.
As he stood, she got up on her feet. Still a bit disoriented, with no hearing, her equilibrium was off. Giving a small gesture, she was letting him know to take the lead and she'd follow.
((I'm out too. I have Angel on autofollow with opaj. 3nodding ))
((opaj here. And while Angel autofollows opaj, opaj will autofollow Owle. Who I presume would autofollow Rage and vice-versa. Anyway, my goal is to stick with the group until I log back on.))

((Indeed Opaj. It was entertaining.
Though had I not been in a hurry Gamma might've done a bit more damage. Gamma's first instinct would have to been to plant the knife in your throat. Generally a fatal wound and I don't know how well you healer can heal. And I don't want to kill your character suddenly.
Next place would have been to go up under the sternum and start twisting the blade but that would take a moment or two and make escape difficult. Not necessarily an immediately fatal wound.
Eh, I'm just rambling now. I suppose Rage will have to deal with that tear gas canister I left him when he shows up again. Yes, leaving now.))
