[Day 10 - Early Evening] The Showdown

[Moto Shiwahime]

Shiwahime was pretty sure the magistrate's comms couldn't call for backup due to some interference and the incoming car was here too quickly for that anyway.

This could be reinforcement for her team...or the other one. Lines were not easily drawn here...hugh...Well this side entrance with the vehicles was clearly their way out. A very convenient one at least.

Crossing that door was not the shock and awe entry she'd favored but this was not her first rodeo. She reached out to open the door then pivoted her bike to slide in backwheel first, pivoting again once in. She took stock of the situation inside.

She hoped they were busy and missed her relatively slick entry

Surprise indoor cavalry was one of the best type of cavalry in her estimation.
----
Two simple action to open the door and move in.

[Boogiepop]

"Kuni-san, have you deeply considered," she pauses, a gunshot rings out halting her line of thought. "T-that this may be your last chance to return to a side that is not kidnapping the karo of a governor," more gunfire rings out, Honoka winces, "A-and and the daughter of another? Your future needn't be forfeit if you escort us out of this building, I will speak on your behalf in any further legal matters. Of this, I can certainly," the crash of the front door blasting open, "certainly! Certainly assure you, Kuni-san," she says, but she wasn't on stage anymore, everyone's eyes weren't all on her, her earlier persona falters, and now there was so much actual gunfire!!

That nervousness returned to her. Without the wherewithal to control it at the moment like she always does her hand can be shaking, ever so slightly.

Hiroto for his part, eyes the backs of those fighting and then the weapons on the floor. Making a mental plan in his head, and waiting to execute it at exactly the perfect moment.

Kuni Marine

A rousing speech might have given him pause to take up his action in consideration but, he wasn't going to change his mind. He wasn't to waste his time anymore either.

[Yasuki Nagisa]

Suddenly, Nagisa went from What was that? to Who is that? when the Moto let herself in through the back door without warning. Nagisa frowned deeply and scoffed as she turned around to address the new 'guest', putting her back against a pillar near her.

"Absolutely, rude! Please knock first!" She demanded before firing a shot into the ground. It wasn't meant to be a warning shot, but it became one now!

Hiruma Marine

While the Captain was dealing with threats outside, the Hiruma would continue to lay down fire on the invading force below, supporting his gunso! He would take a shot at the Crab but only glance at his armour plating. The radiant shot ricocheted and went off.

[Kaiu Ryosei]

[GM GHOST!]

Ryosei quickly decided to follow Ochiba's lead to take a shot at the Hida while he had an opening! Unfortunately, he just hit her armour instead! That was some tough Crab-made armour! A shame that it was worn by an enemy!

Hida Marine Gunso

People were taking cover! Thankfully, there was no cover from a tetsubo! The Hida moved up to the group behind the car and decided to flush them out by force! She would retaliate against Ryosei with a painful crackback of her own!

[Agasha Sorato]

Sorato winces as the tetsubo crunches into Ryosei's armor. He ducks a few feet further into the shelter of the car and begins a deep chant in opaque Old Rokugani, ancient words he knows by heart. Fire crackles to life in the palm of his hand.

Kuni Marine

Okay, someone managed to get inside, this was going to be a problem now. He dropped his gun and pulled out his holoslates to summon the earth kami to sent a barrage of metal spikes at her!

[Boogiepop]

The Magistrate's Office car would eventually arrive and park itself close to the rear exit. Here came the cavalry. For the heroes, right? Right?

No, there were who Nagisa would call the "Help".

Exiting the car were Kuni Ayaka and some associate muscle!

[Bayushi Hinata]

The Scorpion ignores the rushing Hida for the most part. Making almost a leisurely stroll towards the entrance as he pulls out his weapon.

Cylinder fed, solid ammo, high caliber. A weapon from a less civilized age, one that threatens to knock the wind out of anyone even nicked by it.

He moves towards the warehouse, trying to get eyes into the building, on ladders or stairs they could take to reach the rifleman (and rifle woman) on their elevated firing positions.

As he crossed the threshold the mask adjust for any deficiency of lights, it was quite the piece of tech.

Defense Stance
Simple Move
Free Move
Simple Action Ready Sidearm.

30 towards the Warehouse entrance, I think it's enough to stand at the threshold dramatically.

No need to rush for the map, just wanna ensure having eyes on the full picture.

[Boogiepop]

True Scion #2

True Scion #2 had all sorts of butterflies in his stomach bubbling up at the sound of continuous gunshots happening. Well, this time he had a Kuni on his side, so he was bound to be the victor! He got out of the car and made his way inside, weapon in hand, standing right behind the Moto after opening the door.

"Huh? What the?!"

[Yoritomo Ochiba]

"Huh, was that a car I heard wonder who that's i-"
Ochiba's musings are interrupted by everyone firing and missing everybody else.

Everybody that is except the Big Hida who swung their tetsubo into Ryosei.

"Mother f-" with a roar of anger the Yoritomo launchers herself forward at the offending Gunso, tattoos flaring brightly as she continues firing into armour joints, trying to bring the offending crab down via death by a thousand cuts.

((2 more hits into the Hida Gunso for 23 and 22 damage respectively, free moved up into melee with them. In full attack stance but spending a void or +10 ATN. ATN currently 28, 33 against first ranged))

[Boogiepop]

Hida Marine Gunso

Well, that packed a wallop!

Using Void! The Hida takes 19 Damage after Reduction and Void subtractions.

[Kuni Junpei]

Well, whatever was happening in there had stopped one of the shooters from aiming at him. Seeing as the Yoritomo was dealing with the Hida, Junpei would dash forward to the doorway of the warehouse and immediately find cover behind one of the pallets of canned fruits! The karo was in here...somewhere!

"Stand down! Magistrates!" Junpei would call out to the people inside the warehouse. He didn't think they would listen, but if that wasn't said, certainly there was going to be another form that would have to be filled out as to why he didn't try to de-escalate the situation.

[Yasuki Honoka]

Seeing the moment, "Hiroto-san!" Honoka would shout, and the man would leap to action. From his knelt position Hiroto would dash for the discarded sidearm of the Kuni, and with it taken to hand quickly dive back for cover behind one of the nearby pallets. Bracing his back against it, and checking the sidearm quick in the heat of the moment to ensure it was operational and ready to fire. Maybe even, he hoped, he would be too if that sweat bead on his brow was any indication of how nervous he really was.

Honoka, meanwhile, watching her yojimbo rush off into action would quickly look to Umiko. Heart against her chest again, "Time to be brave," she says, for the first time in her life perhaps. Before leaving her side Honoka would take Umiko by either cheek, kiss her, and with all the energy of a woman who just stole something exceedingly precious lift herself from the ground and rush behind the pallets. The giant doors nearby needed to be controlled from somewhere, and if it wasn't immediately in sight it was probably on the further end.

Honoka Actions:
Simple x2 (water x2, up to 40ft): Move alongside the wall by the doors, between the pallets and the shooters to search for a way to open the loading doors nearest them.
Free Action: Speak.

Hiroto Actions:
Simple: Move (20ft) to grab sidearm, and if enough is left to get back behind the nearby pallet.
Simple: Grab the sidearm!
Free: Unspoken Prayer to the Kami.

Shiwahime is up next!
Nagisa on deck!

[Moto Shiwahime]

Shiwahime braced against the rain of blades, some of the metal piercing the armor but barely enough to make her bleed...but quite enough to make her mad.

She glanced behind her at the new twit rushing on the scene before having him eat dust, speeding towards the shugenja while whirling her chains for a grapple

She was too far to do it now but she certainly brake and swerve at the last second to get up in her face and interpose herself between him and what appeared to be the karo and the crab restaurant lady?

''MORE ARE COMING FORM THE SIDE!'' she yelled at her allies coming in from the front door before switching her motorcycle's lights to high beam blinding those who'd try to look her way and leaving less places to hide

Void damage, armor: 2 damage taken
Move, speak and High beam!

[Yasuki Nagisa]

Evil Nagisa sprayed some more fire at the Unicorn, but it went wide!

True Scion #7 also jumped out of the vehicle and took up a shooting position!
