Quote: Shock Mark (15) : Thunderstorms are common this time of year, but what’s not common is the number of people reported being struck by lightning. Strangely, people are surviving with only minor, if any, injuries at all. Being struck can feel like a static shock, or can feel like a sudden flash of heat, and targets are left with a strange lightning mark across their body. Though the marks will fade, for their duration–up to a full week after being struck, you might notice that you are more prone to static shocking yourself or others, and you may notice electronics charging or overcharging and malfunctioning. The marks can take longer to fade at player discretion, or players may choose for them to leave pale scars, but otherwise there are no lasting effects. Mu Arae was currently standing in the middle of an abandoned parking lot, staring up at the sky with something akin to fear and wonder. She just got struck by lightning and not only did she not die, she felt amazing. Which she knew was something that should've been impossible medically speaking. However that wasn't something she was going to dwell on, shelfing that bit of worry for later when she would call Xander to discuss it with him. For now she had to decide what she wanted to do while powered. Going home wasn't an option just yet since she just wanted to fight something, whether that be a youma or otherwise. Instead of leaving, she decided to sit in the middle of the parking lot as some sort of bait. Or maybe she was still in shock from the lightning, she didn't know, either way hopefully something exciting will happen soon.

Huntite hadn't thought anything of it, going out in the middle of a thunderstorm that is. He had done it plenty of times before for some reason or another as both a civilian and an officer. In fact he had been out an about in it for an hour now only for things to change up when he got struck by a stray bolt it seemed. The Captain was now standing on top of a building under an awning to the rooftop access holding onto his left shoulder with a small premise of pain.
It didn't hurt a lot, just enough to sting, and after peeking at said shoulder under his uniform he could clearly see that he now had a lightning mark on it right where the bolt had hit him. At this point he was debating on heading back home since he already had the energy he had been planning on getting tonight. He could feel an order signature just on the fringe range of his senses though so his options were being weighed heavily.

Mu stiffened just slightly when she felt a chaos signature that seemed almost out of her reach. Now she could do one of two things: Investigate or see if they would take the bait and come to her. She opted for the latter, moving her hand to her side to feign some sort of hurt. Maybe that would entice them further and she could surprise them with an attack later. if only she had one of those fabled items that could lessen your signature, that would be something fun to mess with.

Huntite rubbed his shoulder then moved it back and forth to check and see if movement would provide a difference in pain level but when it stayed at the low sting he dropped his hand and looked in the direction of the signature. A small sigh escaped him before his eyes narrowed, his body language shifting from relaxed but sore, into a one that screamed 'on the prowl'. Mind made up, he started to make his way towards the Senshi's position, bow instantly coming to his hand with barely a thought.

Ah, bait has been taken. Mu made sure to stiffen visibly as the agent got closer, willing her body to shake, which wasnt hard given the fact that it was raining with thunder and lightning. This was somewhat excitnig for her given the fact that she hasnt encountered many agents that would be considered challenges , although the fact that most of them are scared kids disturbed her. The fact that they have litteral babies fighting on their end of this stupid war concerned her too, having babies of her own to think about. Now that her husband was a knight, this meant her kids had basically a one hundred percent chance to be a senshi or a knight. If she has her way, they will be moving out of the country as soon as its appropriate. Italy is something she is very much looking forward to.

Huntite stalked across the roof tops until he could see the Senshi down below, but sticking to the shadows at the start. The Senshi looked like she was scared, looked like she wasn't ready to fight. But looks could be deciding. Rather then jump down and start to fight up close and personal immediately, he fully planned on taking advantage of the high ground.
Notching an arrow, he aimed it carefully with a smirk on his face. The rain and the wind will be a challenge to shoot in but he was honestly looking forward to that. With a purposeful holding of his breath for extra stability, he let the arrow fly.

Mu thought she might have to do something else when she felt a sudden pain bloom on her right arm. Well s**t, she knew she had their attention now. Hissing in annoyance, she took off towards one of the alleyways near by, leaping up onto the rooftop and hiding behind one of the big boxed in ventilation fans. The smaller senshi took assessment of her arm, deeming the wound to be superficial. Yeah it stung a little but that was nothing compared to being impaled on rebar. She decided to sit and wait, wanting to bide her time, adrenaline starting to pump through her veins. She was so looking forward to this fight.

Huntite had already notched another arrow by the time she managed to get to the alleyway but she had ducked behind before he could finish aiming and shooting it. He kept his weapon at the ready as he slowly started to move around to try and find an angle that would allow him to shoot at her again. He was this close to summoning Fenrir to add to the mix but decided to hold off for now.
It would be interesting to see if this continued to be a distance fight or if the Senshi would be able to bring it to a close combat one. Either way sounded like a good time to him.

Currently, Mu was trying to figure out a way to make her way over in the direction the arrow could've come from. Since it hit her from behind to the right, she gathered that she could get over to them. It was obvious they were not coming to her and while she didn't mind the long game, taking the fight to them would prove to be more interesting. Instead of getting up right away, she laid herself flat on the roof, crawling towards the edge that she wanted to leap from. This made her feel like she was in the army or some sort of espionage movie where she had to bypass lasers or something. Once she was in range, she started leaping from roof top to roof top trying to pin point the signature.

He had ended up moving across a couple of roofs from where he had shot her in his attempt to get another clear point of view. However since she was moving at the same time he couldn't get a good line of sight. Huntite's smirk as still there but he smoothed over his expression after a minute to make himself look like he was only concentrating on his surroundings and not enjoying the hunt.
The Senshi wasn't the only one who could use body language and such to invite an opportunity of attack, something he had in mind as he came to a stop on a roof with a good vantage of the surrounding area but not perfect. He kept his senses on the area around him but kept it looking like he was concentrated on the area where he had last seen her disappear. This way if she attacked he would be ready, if she ran he would be ready. The smirk tried to creep back up but he kept it down.

Mu tried to keep track of the signature as she moved, but was finding it difficult since said signature was moving as well. Either way, she felt like she was getting closer, seeing some sort of figure in the distance. Now usually she would just walk up to them and start talking her s**t but because this agent seemed more seasoned than most playing it safe would be the best bet. Through that stupid crazed agent with the trident, she knew that these bastards could teleport, but she wasn't sure about the distance. Waiting about two rooftops away, she stared at the figure as if to challenge them. "I knooooooow you're there a*****e."

It wasn't had for him to pick her out across the way on the rooftop seeing how she was no longer hiding. "Funny, I wasn't the one hiding." He smoothly said as he angled his body towards her properly. Huntite looked her over then let the smirk crop up again. "Standing there in the open? Asking to get shot." The Captain made as if to let the next arrow fly her way but just before he actually let go, he teleported to a different location and then let it go.
Either she would dodge or she wouldn't. She was an unknown to him so he couldn't guess what she would be able to do with his quick change but looking forward to see the results.

Well at least this one seemed a bit more chill than the rest of her encounters, doesn't make him any less dangerous though, case in point the teleportation and the arrow now coming her way. Mu quickly dodged to the side, making her way towards the arrow's owner. She figured she would get close enough and try for a sweeping kick or even a knee to the balls if he was stupid enough to even let her get that close, which she hopped he wasn't. That last senshi she fought was indeed, stupid enough to let her get close. "Nice try handsome, but I think you missed." once she was close enough, Mu dropped down to give a sweeping kick to topple the big guy over.

Huntite wasn't terribly surprised when the arrow was dodged and he didn't bother tracking the arrow to see where it landed as he had recalled it, much like the other one he had shot earlier, before it had landed on any of the environment around them. Instead he kept his eyes on the Senshi before him and pulled out another arrow though he didn't notch this one onto the bow he was holding, though he made it seem like he would. Arrows are great for just plain stabbing after all as well.
When the Senshi darted forward at him, he had tensed up ready to move in any direction needed. "Well there is always next time." He returned with a grin. When she dropped, he threw himself to the side while moving to use the arrow as if it was a dagger down on her currently extended leg.

Of course she should've seen it coming, but then again, at least she would have a nice little scar. Mu tried to dodge but the arrow landed square into the meat of her thigh, which of course caused her to hiss and yell in pain. "Got damn it!" She pulled herself up, narrowing her eyes at the man before her. Well, cant say she still wasn't having fun all things considering. "Ya got me good there, Allow me to return the favor~" She yanked the arrow out of her leg, knowing she would have to leave and get back to Xander before she lost too much blood, but not before getting in a couple of hits on her own. The senshi tried to ignore her pain while aiming a [ur=https://tenor.com/view/kick-gif-19880657]high kick to his side. Thank god she's been taking Muay Thai for quite some time now.
