Leaning forward, Douglas blushed unsure of what was happening next "Dumbass" Looking at him with a fondness he'd never seen her look at him, she let her fingers linger before passing out "You know, she actually looks kind of cute like that" Douglas observed as Mayuri finally allowed herself to rest-hair frazzled and covered in blood-in a twist of irony her face had never looked more innocent and angelic before 'Brook, Tess...and him....yeah...he'd love to get a picture of this...' Knowing he he had no time to spare ass the elevator door opened he stepped right in. 


 Unbuckling his seatbelt, Yoshino swung open his door, released from gravity's shackles, he took flight, allowing himself to be carried by the wind "It's been a while" Yoshino tuned out everything, save for sound of the gentle breeze carrying him "A pleasure to make your acquaintance again.."  As Musera and Isla entered the city, a crowd of panicked people flooded the streets  "Must not be far from here" Musera silenced the noise of the people impending and stampeding in order to narrow down Cassian's location. 

 Putting the car in park, she unlocked the door preparing to step out"Yeah, that's gotta be him..I'll run interference for a bit, you and Yoshino need to get them out of here-They'll be in the way" Isla got out right after her "Alright" Isla made sure to text Yoshino and relay the message before he got too far "Alright, good thing I did my stretches this morning-" Many of the people running soon found themselves floating and swinging wild about mid-air. 

Isla flashed a toothy grin as many of the people started panicking "Sorry about that, I'm sure...well you probably won't understand..still all aboard the YI EXPRESS!!" Shouting that last part, Isla altered gravity once more, making everyone's new orbit her,  Yoshino  arrived allowing the wind to carry him back down to where they were "Yosh need your help evacuating these innocents!! Then we can move forward with the plan!! Musera said she'd stall!!"  Musera gave a thumbs up and offered a two fingered salute before waving bye. 

Isla didn't stop looking until she was too far off in the distance for eyes to catch"Be safe ya' purple-haired idiot" Isla murmured aloud, tossing her long brown mane back,Isla took a strand of it and formed a  single bang hanging down her face "Almost forget to do my hair. Alright now I'm ready Yosh!!"  Wind picking up, people were scooped and carried up into a powerful gust as Isla and Yoshino carried them away intending to drop them a safe distance from where the fighting was going to be. 

Not many forces were left stand between Cassian and the people and buildings left populating New Arcadia downtown, many of theme were mere grunts and foot soldiers low on the chain of command, still with valor in their hearts and knowing a last stand was better than no stand they stood their ground "He's coming this way men!! Aim all sights on target and get ready to fire!!" an officer communicated with his comrades in arms. 

An ambushed had been staged with rocket launchers, snipers, and gatling gun turrets hidden within buildings "From observation, the subject's almost been hit and taken by surprise a few times! If we can find a delay in his reaction we've got this won!!" Cassian felt his dominion over his power expand, and flashed a shark-like grin "Teh. So that's how it is, I can feel traces from that far out...so that's how he took me by surprise" Cassian mused aloud furrowing his brow.

 A tingling in his finger tips and tippy toes alerted him despite being a good distance away, he knew...no he felt many somebodies near-killing content coming from them in waves 'Good' he thought to himself, not a split second later a loud "FIRE!" was heard off in the distance as sent every round of artillery they had left.  Not having time to react he reeled back his power and visualized and focused it in the shape of a dome.

Missiles, bullets, grenades, darts, and arrows all disintegrated into nothing as hope drained from the town's last defenses ' eyes "Oh-" Cassian eyes opened wide  "So what can contract, must also EXPAND!!" letting his imagination run wild, his power' reach was greater than before and despite their best attempts to run, everything in the immediate area ceased to be.
