Reacting instantly as Cor shouted out his enemy's new coordinated, Wilhelm took advantage of his previous swing's momentum, which he gave a mild boost with a well timed use of Dreadnought, to spin about and drive Recht directly into the ground behind him.

As the enemy releases Freddie and flies backwards, Yoko catches her comrade. "You alright?" She holds him up by one hand, checking him for major damage. "You know, if this just turns out to be some black ops, live-fire training exercise, I'm going to be really pissed."

Freddie fell forwards into Yoko's arms and almost immediately yelped and pushed himself back up to stand, blushing from a combination of even needing to be caught and from the embarrassment of touching one of his teammates. "Okay, I'm g—WOAH!" He dodged to the side to get out of the way of the speeding invisible... thing and readied his coil of cable again. "Okay, Wilhelm, soon as you get that thing I'll try to tie it down."

Natasha frowned as she revved the engine of her gun, the barrels starting to spin up as she looked around, her augmented eyes trying to find anything out of the ordinary. "Well, this is certainly going to be unpleasant." She mumbled as she looked around. "You alright, Freddie?"

Aria balked, tail going fuzzy and ears up and alert. Her gaze wandered towards the complex and she realized with a sinking sensation that she was vulnerable.

These sorts of things had happened before: there was precious little time for a successful hacking run and there was always the threat of getting kicked out of the system by black ice, having a watchful eye finally catch your hack, or everything on the grid just generally going FUBAR. Aria gulped silently and packed up Mayes.

Guys? What's the situation? I don't think I'm in a good spot out here- she messaged to the group before she set off.

There was a loud crunch as the enemy under Wilhelm's hammer aura broke and was subsequently crushed by the weapon, rendering Freddie's preparation to capture it unnecessary. The other enemy pushed itself off from the wall, falling to it's knees and pulling out a small cylinder. It pressed a button and tossed the now loudly beeping bomb between Yoko, Freddie and Wilhelm before attempting to retreat further into the tour.

[Bad guys are in the comm tower. No sign of them outside the tower... yet.] Thanatos reports to Aria.

"Aaaaaand he's dead, awesome kill! +1"

Thanatos replies to Wilhelm, just as he sees a bomb being thrown, and the loud beeping.

"Ugh, painfully obvious bomb. Guys, get back outta the doorway!"

Thanatos immediately backs away from the bomb. No use shooting it now. He still holds his fire extinguisher by his side.

Novus 21st - Outpost LV-426, Vacu-Valoran Border

With his requisitioned field comm package, Cowbry had found himself a good spot, nestled in the rocks overlooking the outpost. With quick presses, he kept abreast of the situation by tracking everyone's location (a fair cluster near the tower, engaged with unknown hostiles).

He wheeled his drone into a hiding spot and put away his Scroll. With the Guardians now to grips with an enemy they could fight, all they needed to now was more answers. Cowbry hopped off his perch and set off to make a circuit in the surrounding badlands.

An enemy like this normally meant that they ought to have had transportation. And besides that, maybe he might even find some trace of the late Sgt. Vasquez's peers.

"I'm not dead!" Freddie replied to Natasha over his Scroll, then saw the bomb. "Oh shi—uh, uh..." He looked up at their rapidly fleeing foe, then down to the bomb again. "UHHHH." He sheathed the cable and the hammer, then drew out Growth. With a few fine touches he had its crescent blade adjusted into a more claw-like position relative to the handle, which he fired as he jumped backwards, behind Wilhelm, in a bid to yank this one back to their executioner as well.

Looking down at his handiwork as he began scraping what was left of his foe off of Recht, Wilhelm muttered "Well, I can see why they like to stay invisible." before taking note of the bomb that had landed nearby.

Pushing Yoko and Freddie behind him, Wilhelm would then kick the bomb as far away from himself as possible before activating Eisenmacht's shield and shouting "My shield is here for you!"

The bomb went off, blocked by Wilhelm's shield. The fleeing cyborg was caught by Freddie's hook, which stopped it dead. The pull combined with the force from the blast landed the enemy right back in front of the Guardians, it's cloak down. Even through the metal mask its expression could be read.

As Cowbry circled the base all he would find would be standard patrol tracks, and one standard military rifle, apparently having fallen from a watchpoint on the wall.

"Well well, stealth baddies like you? Irritating shits in every game I've seen 'em in."

Thanatos charged up energy in one arm as he held his extinguisher in the other. If he could do it, he'd have been smirking by now.

["Guys, you want this freak dead or alive?"] he asked on the comms, aiming his arm cannon at the enemy's head. The response would determine where he would subsequently decide to shoot the guy in.

Either way, the no-longer-invisible dude was going to lose something: His head and life, or a leg.

Novus 21st - Outpost LV-426, Vacu-Valoran Border

Back against the wall, Cowbry sat on the ground, his find across his lap as he brushed the desert dust off of it. After he set the weapon's safety on and removed its magazine, he pulled out his Scroll to pull up the map of the area and the notepad function. He began to type his findings.

Item 1: Empty Outpost on Vale-Vacuo Border. Vehicle pool intact

Item 2: Attackers apparently equipped with stealth tech (see audiofiles, debrief Guardians with firsthand knowledge)

Item 3: Were they waiting?

Tapping his stylus, Cowbry made another click on the shared comms. Something about a bomb, but none of his immediate concern. "Copper Bishop to all points, were one of you able to secure a hostile for questioning?" He let the rifle rest against the wall and made his way back to his earlier post to prep his drone for retrieval.

He was once more taking a circuitous route. Everything about this op was making him suspicious.

Base of LV-426

As the dust from the explosion began to clear, Wilhelm deactivated his shield and stomped over to where Freddie's catch had landed. Adjusting his grip on Recht, Wilhelm took a moment to remove his helmet and get a better look at this new foe before cheerfully grinning at whatever it was and saying "I would prefer if you did not run away. However, if you do, I wouldn't mind chasing you down."

Placing Recht's head directly on top of the masked enemy, Wilhelm radioed back in response to Cowbry "Copper Bishop, this is Silver Knight. I have one of the cowards right here and I assure you that it is not going anywhere."

Shifting his attention to the once-invisible foe (Radio still broadcasting), Wilhelm added "Isn't that right?"

Hearing Cowbry's incoming message, Thanatos replies as he draws closer to the enemy as he keeps his extinguisher behind him via his other arm. Not worth risking it get shot.

["Alive it is, then."]

Thanatos slowly lowered his Arm Cannon towards the stealth guy's left leg. If that mook tried to do anything funny... that leg would be shot at the joint with a charged, high powered shot at point-blank range.

Talon parried the strike from the shadows and activated his Semblance, trying to path out where his enemy was by how their Auras seemed to flicker on and off as he got into a defensive stance with his sword and gauntlet. "Aura detection is not fully consistent; it must be their armor..."

The captured enemy glared up at Thanatos for a moment before reaching to his chest and activating another grenade. Apparently his plan was to blow himself up this time.

Control tower

While Talon attempted to block, since he could not see the still cloaked enemy and didn't have his semblance active, the attack slipped past his guard and raked against his aura. Meanwhile the visible enemy began firing off more rounds.

LV-426

Immediately noticing the grenade activate, Pierce only had a few seconds to think. Now, if this dude was holding the grenade in his hand, he would've gone for cutting off the hand and throwing it away with the 'nade.

But this guy's grenade was strapped to his damn chest... and from what little Pierce knew about them, they were smart. Trying to grab that off would've likely resulted in getting grabbed, and blown up along with him. Being at a close proximity would have probably triggered the enemy to grab onto one of them and blow up.

Either way, the only way to prevent it from happening... was to either kill the enemy... or disarm him. Literally. Sure, it was cruel, but it was... needed if they wanted to take him alive.

"Refusing to comply?"

Thanatos readjusts his aim, quickly shooting the enemy in a shoulder joint with a charged blast in an attempt to blow that arm off.

At the same time his other arm would drop the extinguisher behind him, and immediately project a powerful energy blade to attempt to slice the man's other shoulder off.

He would then attempt to grab the grenade off the man's torso and throw it far away from the group.

While Thanatos successfully disarmed the enemy, grabbing the grenade directly after doing so after it was already active proved to not be as simple a matter as he thought it would and the bomb went off, killing the helpless enemy and putting Thanatos directly in the danger zone.

"Oh no not again!" Freddie made several quick hops backwards down the hallway to get out of the way of the blast, and even afterwards kept going, looking for an elevator or a staircase. "I'm going to keep going up and sweep the rest of the building, okay? I'll radio if I need any more help!"

LV-426

Well, that went worse than it would have.

Thanatos knew that this screwed up, but he had one last trick. Thanks to robotic scanners and electronics, he had a fast reaction time.

He also knew that this kinda shit would be coming if his manouver failed, and was somewhat prepared for it.

As soon as the beeping stopped, a huge symbol appeared on Thanatos' screen with a "timer" like circle surrounding it, ticking down.

[ X ]

Thanatos knew what this was, and immediately redirected power to his air cannons within his arms and legs. The symbol immediately disappeared as it was "pressed".

[[SUCCESS!!!]]

As soon as the bomb went off, he redirects a huge power into his air cannons to push back the bomb blast into the enemy to gib his dead remains even further and scatter them across the room... as a second button symbol appears on the screen with a timer ticking down.

[ O ]

The button is "pressed" as he grabs the fire extinguisher with great reflexes as he jets back via the force from the air blast.

[[SUCCESS!!!]]

Immediately, a third button pops up with a timer as he notices too late that his air blast wasn't too successful at pushing the blast back, thanks to being at point-blank range.

[ △ ]

...Unfortunately for him, this one's timer runs out ridiculously fast. Thanatos attempts to jet back from it via his leg thrusters, but it too late by a fraction of a second, and with no time to react from that, the remnants of the blast hit him in the legs as the "button" flashes a red X sign as it disappears.

[[FAILED...]]

The blast that barely overpowered his air shot was heavily weakened as it got through and only enough to hit a small bit of Aura...

...Which was to say, nearly all of it. He barely had any aura within him for his maximum Aura.

"Welp, fucker would rather die than be interrogated." he mutters as he slides across the floor standing up while brushing himself off, then goes over to the disembodied, bleeding arms and throws them towards the others. Since they were hacked off and dropped to the ground early, they weren't badly damaged by the redirected blast.

What appears to be rough estimated stats appear on his HUD, not unlike RPG game weapon comparison as he picks the arms up.

(Eh, not that worth it for me, though stealth compatibility would be a plus.)

"Least I got these. Anyone wanna scan his equipment?"

Still rather ticked off at the mook's manouver, he goes over to the blasted guy's dead body and uses a Laser Blade to cut the guy's head off his neck, if it already wasn't blown off by his partially-reflected self-destruct. He grabs the guy's head and holds the fire extinguisher in his other hand, noting the guy's pretty much broken mask.

(Oh, they are SO going to love it when I show them their friend's head)

Lessons were learned. One of them being "Those guys have a damn grenade on their chest area", something he would take note in case he wanted to kill them quickly.

The grenade goes, but luckily Yoko was far enough out just to be rattled. That being said, she also sends a counter-wave through the air to dampen the shock of the explosion.

Cowbry had instinctively thrown himself against the wall as the blast went off. He cursed as he felt the explosions reverberate and echo and hurried deeper into the outpost.

Whatever was happening, he would best serve being as close as he could to serve as reinforcement. But he did have a suspicion that things were well in hand.

Natasha wanted to hit something. However, as she didn't want to potentially damage any of her teammates, she elected to hit herself. As her palm smacked against her face, the blonde grunted in annoyance as she turned to Nova. "Alright then. Cor, go with Freddie, make sure he doesn't get himself killed, alright?" She asked, not even attempting to locate her "boyfriend" to speak to him before she began to speak with the AI. "Nova, you and I are going to go find the central Hub so we can get you in, aight?"
